My mother in law was supporting Ron too. He was in the running for so

short a time that when she recommended him I didn't even really get to know

what he was saying before he was gone. That's too bad.

Thank you Debi. I feel like you really got what I was trying to say. I can

see why he would feel the need to choose Palin when you look at it that way.

I kind of have a bias in general against Governors becoming President. I

just feel like they can't have the right knowledge and instincts for dealing

with foreign powers and that is of such major importance. I think that's part

of why President Bush has had so many faux pas in that area - like when he

totally offended the Chancellor of Germany when he tried to give her a neck rub

right up on a dais in front of God and everybody, including other heads of

state - something I can't imagine him doing if the Chancellor had been a man

either, LOL. I don't think he got it that you couldn't be that casual with

another head of state. He had an impulse, and voila another international

incident gets laid at his feet. That's where my thinking is on this.

That is why I said we have to use our heads when we vote. It is not a

popularity contest like voting for class president back in high school, not for

either party. We have to pick somebody we truly judge will do the job right,

not just because we like them however much that is. It is so easy to get all

swept up in the fervor - on either side!

young, African-American, so he had to bring someone old school and

Biden did that.

Just my op, way more of this is psychological than most qualified. If

we were going on qualifications only then Senator Biden should be the

front runner. People in general don't vote on most qualified, they

vote on who they like and can identify with the most.

tina that is of not what I to want to happen of here. I to hate of

that when one bashes another for their views and was hoping to stress

of that here because not want of that . I to simply want of to learn

so can be to gain in learning on political things. Just like of

religion no one should be to force their views and or try to convert

of others to thems own beleif and feel that is of the same respect

ones should be to have of political views too. Each ones views should

be fo respected. but was of worried that Nuhu and Don were of having

differences that was worried would go to fight words and this was of

to scare of me as not want of fight words just teaching and learning

words.

by the way I to not know for sure what bashing means as hear of this

word much so but think it means fight. well the dictionary to say " to

strike with a hard blow? " well that meaning just complicated the word

even more for me. I to got of a dictionary to set on my desk to start

looking up words that others are of using to help of me not feel so

stupid but in true the dictionary just adds to my feeling that way

becasuse the meanings are of often to add to my confusions. Much

meanings are of so abstract and not clear with meaning but anyways I

to think it means fight still so hope I to used it back right.

Yes Sondra, I would love to belong to a group that can discuss issues

in a friednly way. When I used the word " bashing " it did mean fight.

The dictionary is a great idea (I should do that as well!) the hard

blow was with words but still can sting like a bat! It amazes me that

here in America some people act like freedom of speech doesn't exist

and you can't say your opinion if it differs from someone else (not

here but that other group that I spoke of).

Well I blame the media on that one. Just like they don't discuss

autism on the news and yet it is at epidemic proportions being 1 in

150 kids. If Measles or Hepatitis were 1 in 150 children there would

be non stop media coverage.

Don I to not be of angry over the words but just not want of the words

to go to fight words. I to love of good debates for learning as long as

they are of done in respectuf fashions. But here I to not really be of

seeking to debate as much as to learn views of the republican party and

to learn of the whys to the views to broaden of my own because if I to

stay shut off from it it means I to not be expanding my over all

learning in life and for that it limits of me. I to be of just like of

this in life and want of fair and balanced out things within me before

to be of able to feel as if can do a good job as a voter person. I to

think we do have of too much in life who do not be of responsible

voters such as some might be to vote for Obama simply because he is of

black that is of bad voter thinking, and some will be to vote mCain

because they see female and will vote female vote which is not a good

voter person either. I to watch much of the TV shows on all the

political things each time I to find it on the TV. I to be of listening

to both sides equally.
