HIM: It is hard to stay civil in this election, with so much at stake. The Democratic Party has, especially for the past 6 years, waged an underhanded assault on the American people. Aided by celebrities with a large gullible audience and by the mainstream news outlets (with Fox News being the only one not prostrating itself at the Democrat's altar), they have used lies, innuendo, and misdirection to turn "popular opinion" against first the President and then the Republican Party.
ME: I don't know if you realise, but that is very much how lefties feel about the Republicans, their underhanded approach to subvert the will of the people, their lies & misrepresentations.
"Clean Air Act" - allows for MORE pollution,
"Saving Social Security" - the privatization & dismantling of Social Security,
"War on Terror" - war to garner control of the world's oil supply
"No Child Left Behind" - undermines public education, paves roads for privatization of education
"Right to Work" - undermining the right to assemble & the right to organize
The Republicans have these think tanks that design the way they talk about things for them. Have you noticed how they ALL use the same words when they have an issue? Sometimes the exact same SENTENCES! Now that's scary, and it sounds like a shiny designed dishonesty to me.
Like "Tax Relief" for instance. Look at the word relief. It insinuates that taxes are your burden. Something that an oppressive government forces you to pay so they can redistribute your hard earned cash as they see fit, those controlling bastards! But if you can think of the government as an organising body that you are a part of, then you have more control. Taxes are the dues you pay to get to live in this great country! And what makes this country great if not the things we get to do together? The things we pay for with our taxes? We have the best research facilities in the world, and most are government-funded. We have a strong infrastructure, and the world's finest military. Aren't these things worth paying for together? We should be proud to pay our taxes and take part in paying for the things that make this country so wonderful!
How do you feel about giving money to your church? Now why is that different?

HIM: For its part, the Republican Party has really botched the entire process, first by throwing the President under the bus and then by not standing up and presenting the truth to the American People. They let subversives like Michael Moore get away with unrefuted propaganda. They failed to educate the public on the TRUE causes of the economic situation. They failed to get the true stories out about terrorism and the wars in the Middle East. They have failed to educate the large minority subgroups about what the Democrats are REALLY doing for them. The should have jumped all over the lies that form the basis for the Obama campaign, but they didn't.
ME: Throwing the lousiest president we've ever had "under the bus" is probably a good thing as far as the rest of the country is concerned. I would also like for people to tell me the truth. I think most lefties are aware that Michael Moore's work is propaganda. It's funny, and I enjoy it, but I take it with a grain of salt. I hope you take right-ist propaganda with a grain of salt as well.

HIM: We find ourselves with no clear choice in this election. The Republican Party sat on its duff for the past 6 years and have defaulted the control of our country to a subversive group of people who will ruin the entire concept and principles upon which our nation was founded.
Ahh, now that is just straight BS. The lefties are not going to "destroy America." That's just serious crazy talk. The Republicans have some good ideas, but they've gone too far to the right. It's time to swing that pendulum back toward civil rights for all, and working for the good of the most rather than the few. They have a long and cherished history of serving corporate interests. Sure, Dems do too, but not quite to the extent of the Reps.

HIM: It is hard to remain civil when the very survival of our Nation is threatened. I will support John McCain because he will at least not destroy America; the best we can hope for is a "caretaker presidency." On the other hand, an Obama victory would give control of the Nation's policy to Pelosi/Reid; that is TERRIFYING!
It's fairly well observed that America is already quite destroyed, and now is the time to fix it. Some think that we are nearing American Civil War II. Barack has such a genuine way of uniting people, that I hope this can be avoided. He has treated McCain and the Reps with all due respect, he's said countless times that John McCain is a good man. When people boo John at his rallies, he says, "No, no. We don't need that. We need to vote!" He believes in the common people of America.

On the abortion thing - I think most times when a teenager gets pregnant, she will tell her parents. How it's handled will and should be a family affair. But you have to consider the situation that is less than happy: the teenager who is abused at home, the one who will be thrown out of her parents' home if they know she is pregnant, the one who'll be beaten, the one who got pregnant by her own daddy. We should have laws in place that protect these young women. I would like it to be that whenever a young person gets pregnant, her family can rejoice, but you can't legislate that!!!! You just can't. It doesn't work. In my own life, I'd like to think that even if I get pregnant by a rape, that I will go through with the pregnancy. But I am in an incredibly loving and supportive environment, and I don't know what every woman's situation is. I don't have their perspective. A woman has a right to value her own life more than that of a developing feotus. What happens between my legs and in my belly is my ultimate business, and I will share it with whom I choose. IT IS NOT OPEN TO LEGISLATION. And to me, just because a young woman has not achieved the arbitrary threshhold of 18 trips around old Bright Eye, doesn't change that the situation is first, foremost and ultimately hers.
On the masks-on-candidates thing - I heard a Republican talking about this very thing. He was very surprised, and even ashamed to learn that he had been holding Obama's colour against him. No one wants to think of himself as racist, and people will go to great lengths to hide their racist tendancies from others and from themselves. On issues, Obama and Hilary were considerably more alike than Clinton and McCain. Yet a certain group of people who supported Hilary are now planning on voting McCain. Why? They "don't trust" Obama. They think he's a "Muslim." (Of course, he's not, but so what anyway?) But no, they're not racists.

ariel stole the words right out of my mouth. also who is pandora that you have discovered? I have just discovered Concha Buika. I love concha.
A friend of my Grandfather wrote the email. I had agreed a while ago with him that we were lost causes to each other, and to not talk about politics any more because our discussion had become pointless.
Pandora is an online radio. You tell Pandora what you like, and she unleashes hell upon the world in the form of a radio station specifically catered to your ideals.
