Good point. Agreed. But I'm so used to the Bible Belt that I didn't even notice the choice of words.  _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Obama all the way, and agreed on the liberal thing. If anything, I'm a Conservative Democrat, or at least a Moderate who refuses to vote red.  _________________ Albert Camus wrote: Always go too far, because that's where you'll find the truth. |

His voting record makes me weep with joy. |

I dont understand the Obama hype. I'm unsure about Hillary, she seems a bit borderline to me. John Edwards all the way. |

A swing to the left or the right is just for show. I trust a politician more if their position is not malleable with whichever way the political winds may be blowing. i agree. this is why i have a hard time watching debates. most of the candidates are just saying what they think people want to hear. i'd rather look at past decisions/opinions. I think people can change opinions over a long period of time (ie not in the time it takes to go on campaign), but keeping to one position is essential. what issues are really important to people? i'd really like to see a lot of focus on the budget issue and possibly health care. i think domestic issues should be a big priority. _________________ http://thegirlinthebearhat.tumblr.com/ |
