Get your knickers out of a knot, Kaydie... sm [2008-11-25]
I was comparing gay people to other people who are considered to be sexually deviant, which is what I consider gay people to be. If God had intended the sexes to be interchangable, He would have created anatomy that would accommodate that type of behavior. Homosexuality has been around since biblical times (Sodom and Gomorah) and God destroyed an entire city for their sexual deviancy. Now, before you tell me that I need to go post this on the Faith board, let me remind you that I have just as much right to post my opinion based on my moral compass as anyone else. There have always been gay people and always will be, and if they want to live together in that lifestyle, then that is their perogative. No one is stopping that. I just don't think that there should be a constitutional amendment or law proclaiming their union as a marriage. A marriage is 1 man and 1 woman period. Am I narrow-minded? By today's societal standards, yes, but today's society is not who I must please and does not dictate my life when it comes to my moral viewpoints.

Now this is something we CAN agree on, Kaydie.... sm [2008-11-25]
I agree wholeheartedly with your statements in this post, so maybe you and I are not from different worlds after all! LOL

Kaydie? [2008-11-24]

Good to see you. I always enjoy reading your opinions, even though we don Life would be so boring if we did agree on things, don As I have in the past with others, I will have to disagree with your stance that abortion should be allowed. I am not discounting all that you have said here in regards to children who are brought into this world unwanted by their birth mother, and to me that is a tragedy in and of itself. I also am not discounting the sorrow with which some women must bear a child in circumstances that are not favorable. However, tthere are alternatives to abortion. I still believe and always will believe that taking a baby God alone is the giver of life and God alone is the taker of life. The child that is aborted could be the child that will discover the cure for cancer or AIDS or some other dread medical disease. He or she may be the peacemaker this country/world needs. He or she may just be an average citizen with no world impact, but he or she has the right to live their life, just as you and I do. Much is said about when life begins and there are varying opinions as to when that moment is. Mine is that life begins at conception and that God knows us even before that point, so taking a baby Why, if it were not wrong,is a murderer who kills a pregnant woman charged with 2 counts of murder? Why, if it were not wrong, do some women feel such guilt at having aborted their child, even if they felt at the time that it was the right thing to do? Why, if it were not wrong, did God create pregnancy in such a manner that it is practically undetectable, except for a chemical pregnancy test,until the point at which the heart and nervous system begin to develop at around 5 to 6 weeks? Abortion has been around for ages and likely will not go away just because of a few words written on a message board or even by legislation declaring it illegal, but if I can challenge even 1 person to critically examine the facts andnot just the emotional ramificationsbehind abortion, then it is worth my time in stating my opinion. I have enclosed a link to a web site which shows in great detail the development of a baby from conception until the point of birth. I hope that you will look at it and understand that life does begin at conception and not at some arbitrary point between conception and birth. Thereis an alternativeto abortion.

for Kaydie....s/m [2008-11-22]
I share your opinion.

No disrespect taken, Kaydie.... sm [2008-11-22]
I certainly mean that. Respectful discourse is helpful in understanding other's points of view and even in formulating or strengthening our own opinions. I wouldn't want to take that away from anyone. This is one topic that you and I are just going to disagree on and it's best left at that. Like you, I was raised in Sunday School and church as a child/youth but fell away from church in my early 20s and lived a fairly bohemian lifestyle for the next many years. I even held the it POV for a very long time. It was not until I found my way back to God that I realized that my earlier beliefs were not so much my beliefs but rather those of society around me and so I began searching for the answers that my soul needed. It was through that searching and reading my Bible that I came to understand that societyout of step with the rest of the world, but that's okay with me because this world is just temporary and my eternity is based on things that are, well, eternal.

for Kaydie: 'thicker skin'???,,,,,s/m [2008-11-22]
This is the original post by 'abc' on 11/15/08 '....and the embryo starts only to live during the 5th month! Yes, I can, I would have a calmer conscience than knowing that my child is out there somewhere, in the hands of strangers, not knowing HOW they are treating him/her. I prefer to give it back to God, before it starts to live! My embryo is MY embryo and it is not COMMON property. YES, I COULD. And the outrageous reply of 'sm', now I think it is 'm'! ] Posted By: sm on 2008-11-16 In Reply to: Yes, I could! It is MY baby and MY belly!..nm - abc the embroy starts only to live during the 5th month Quite possibly the single most ignorant post I've seen on this MB. If you are truly that completely clueless about the workings of the human species, I beg you to get yourself sterilizied RIGHT THIS MINUTE!!!! And if it's YOUR belly and YOUR body you're defending, please tell me whose tiny feet, and face, and fingers are those that are being sucked out of your 'belly?' I pray to God you're not a mother. And that you never will be. People get banned from this board. I noticed that there are people who post every day and all of a sudden they are gone, disappeared. How worse than the above reply by 'sm' or 'm' ? has a comment to be to get banned????

Thanks, Kaydie, I'll try to do that...... [2008-11-22]
but I cannot, LOL !

Kaydie [2008-11-22]
I can totally relate to DH story. I grew up with a very abusive father. He wasn I was a straight A high honor roll student. I never got into trouble in school. I have never done any drugs. I didn He would tell me I was a retard and stupid all of the time. ALL of the time. He would never go to any of my stuff, including my high school graduation. There are stories I could tell you but I would rather not. I know what it I would never wish that upon ANYBODY. I wanted to die and I felt like a slave until I was able to take control of my own life after high school. I also want to share with you that I am the poster of the What embryos and fetuses are for because through all of thecrap and hatefulness I have had to deal with in my life, I knewthere was more to life than pain. I knew I was here for a reason. Now as an adult, Ihave a beautiful family whom I love very, very much.I take it from your post you think everything was rosy for me with wanting that experience for my children. I know what reality is. I think I turned out okay and I have a great husband and children. LIfe is what you make it. Unfortunately, there will always besomeone hurting children andthat isa terrible thing. But I truly feel life is precious and something to be cherished. With adversity comes empathy. Just my opinion, of course.

Good one, Kaydie!! NM. [2008-11-21]

Wow, Kaydie, am I glad to see you! [2008-11-17]
There are so many posts with no recognizable names that I Maybe I'm too new at hanging out here to know who posts what but I liked it better when people used the same name whether it was real or not so at least one could recognize the posters.

Good article, Kaydie..........sm [2008-11-17]
and good to see you!

Kaydie, I totally agree with youir Dad. s/m [2008-11-11]
There is much wisdom in what he says. I ended up being an Obama supporter, and I can tell you that I went into this election fully open minded about both candidates. Upon seeing the way McCain turned his election into avoiding issues and smearing his opponent, that did it for me. I want someone who is able to keep his cool no matter what. When I see a man that is constantly berated andattacked handle himself with class and dignity, that is the kind of person I want running this country. That doesn Do I think he will be perfect? Absolutely not, he admitted that himself. But when the chips are down, I am confident that he will make the right decisions, as he said, with cautious haste. We need to give him a chance. It has been expressed by many people from all over the world that his getting elected has given this country a new credibility and respect that it has been lacking for a long time, and that is a wonderful thing.

Thjis proves exactly Kaydie's father's philosophy...nm [2008-11-11]
nm

thanks, Kaydie and Dad. Blessed are [2008-11-11]
the peacekeepers, and while I tend to agree with a lot of what he said, I have to interject that the most galling thing about this has been that apparently not everyone has the right to their opinions anymore, nor the freedom of speech so many have died for the last 200 years. Sometimes we cannot sit silently by the wayside, but we could all use some rules of engagement, as it were. We no longer respect the nature of being respectful, starting back in the 60's, and I think mostly due to our laughing at anything that is funny that has only encouraged our comedians to be even more outrageous on stage and TV. Your dad is right about so many points, including not seeing the plan until later, I was raised the same way and have seen this myself and it has been much on my mind.

Hi Kaydie, See Message [2008-11-07]
What I learned in political science class a long time ago is this country may go to the right sometimes, then lean a little to the left other times, but, ultimately, it will stay in the middle. That's where most people are happy and, looking back over my many years on this earth, that's the way it should be. I believe you are younger than I am, but trust me. It will always stay middle of the road or, pardon the expression, moderate. One thing I will say though, this country has grown tremendously by voting our first black president into office and we should all be proud. As an aside, the biggest mistake McCain made was putting Sarah Palin on the ticket. He would have stood a better chance with Romney. But as an Obama supporter, I'm glad he picked the wrong person. Now, go back to work. :) Hope you have a good night.

Kaydie, your post is awesome and 100% the way that I feel s/m [2008-11-06]
about the whole thing as well. We are all entitled to our opinions, but let's remember that behind these screen names sits a real person with people who love them. Every one of us has value and something to add to this world. EVEN McCain and Palin are valuable citizens and have something to contribute, even if not from the White House. Obama, although I personally do not agree with his policies in general, will probably be good for our country in many ways. I am giving him a chance in my heart because I know that we all have to stick together. I wish him well and hope that we are a better country because of him, eventually... Have a good day, MTs!!

Thanks, Kaydie and MeMT [2008-11-06]
(: Thank you for putting out your heart. I read every word of it! I feel better now. Receiving so compassionate and tolerant messages makes one feel really good. :)

I agree with you Kaydie, [2008-11-05]
I would ALSO be on here not very happy if Obama does not stick to his word! I am an Obama supporter, but I ALSO expect him to try his darndest to do what he has promised. We all know that the president can't do everything with a snap of his fingers, he still needs backup from the Senate, but I DO expect him to go to bat for us, as he has said. As for all the haters on here, yes you may not be one of them, but there ARE A LOT of them on here who have no good intentions at all.

I wonder what happened to Kaydie?n/m [2008-11-04]
xx

I hate to see you go, Kaydie. [2008-11-04]
I understand tho...it can get really mean. Hopefully when election is over some of that will cease. Not holding my breath tho. :-)

Don't go, Kaydie....sm [2008-11-04]
I know you haven't always been treated kindly on this board, but as an American, you still have the liberty to voice your opinion, whether a single person agrees or not. I have always found your posts insightful and interesting. Stay with us!

Kaydie, hope you reconsider. I enjoy [2008-11-04]

Kaydie...don't leave us. Between you, sam, and gourdpainter, I have had some great discussions. s [2008-11-04]
If you do leave for a while, at least come back and say hi every little bit.

You can say that again, Kaydie.....sm [2008-11-04]
I, for one, need to get back to work. We have to quit making this such an interesting place to be! HAHAHA

time travel [2008-11-26]
kaydie, when you say, ''So how can you go back and create something that never was,'' I begin to despair, because if my ALL-CAPS typing and references to time travel (which is, you see, at this point not possible) didn't indicate irony, I'm not sure how else to do it. As for Annenberg, you're absolutely right. I should never believe anything funded from a foundation RUN BY A BILLIONAIRE MCCAIN SUPPORTER (Leonore Annenberg). Oh, wait did I get that right? Let me try again: I should never believe anything funded from a foundation FOUNDED BY NIXON'S AMBASSADOR TO THE UK AND RUN BY REAGAN'S CHIEF OF PROTOCOL. Wait...how could that be? If Factcheck.org is just another Obama propaganda site.... OH MY GOD. HIS DISCIPLES FLEW BACK IN TIME AND SECRETLY REPLACED THE ANNENBERGS WITH PRO-OBAMA DRONES, SO THAT THEY COULD USE THEIR REPUBLICAN CONNECTIONS TO PUSH OBAMA INTO POWER! IS ANY BILLIONAIRE SAFE??!?!

Huh? sm [2008-11-25]
I don't think my post mentioned monkeys and nudists. Talk about negating the effectiveness of a post!!! Better go back and read that one again and then go down and read my reply to kaydie whose knickers were in a knot as your evidently are as well.

Now THIS............ sm [2008-11-22]
is something we agree on, kaydie!!!

Alleged post of "M"/"SM" [2008-11-22]
Vie: As it has been stated SEVERAL times before, you are getting your people mixed up here, and to accuse someone of saying something they DID not say is rude, chicken$*** and just plain WRONG.. AS kaydie stated, people on this board have differning opinions regarding various topics that are discussed; and if there is something that you find offensive - it us YOUR CHOICE to read it or NOT. There are people that I do not totally agree with here at times but I have enough RESPECT for them and myself not to blatantly, hatefully insult someone if I do not agree-no need to become personal because someone voices an opinion that does not coincide with yours. Speaking of insults: The post that YOU typed regarding what M/SM allegedly posted re abortion - your comeback was pretty nasty, i.e., you are probably a woman who cannot conceive and are just jealous, etc. As it is said in the BIble - He who is wihtout sin cast the first stone and as far as I am concerned YOU do not have the right to bend your back to pick up a rock and throw it at me or anyone else here. Period.

A liffle feedback on [2008-11-11]
kaydie, I am going to gently suggest to you that if you realize that much of your fear is rooted in the articles you read, then take a retreat from them temporarily...or at least broaden the scope of your reading to include some different views. That is difficult, I know, but I have found that the more open minded I am, the less fearful I become. I try to put myself in somebody else's shoes and imagine I am them. If I have difficulty with it, I ask them for guidance so I can understand the thought pattern and where they are coming from. It makes for more respectful debate when the occasions arise. I support Obama. Of course I am concerned about what is going on. There is plenty to be worried about. For that reason I do not borrow worry (the way my own father advised)....do not take on or create more worry than is already there. For the things that I consider most important, I research history, current views, pros and cons in policies, etc. I try not to get myself stuck in a particular mind set, but rather leave myself open to change and keep my thinking fluid, so to speak. Perfect is WAY more than I expect. People make mistakes, especially when they are entering uncharted waters. You know how it goes...if at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Insanity if doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. What I see in Obama is the same thought form I have just described. He is open minded, seeks advice from many, entertains all sorts of opposing views, formulates policy decisively and I truly believe he strives for perfection, and is willing to admit mistakes and to be innovative in his approach to things. I also believe this is PRECISELY what our country needs, given the gravity of our circumstances. Perhaps the most valuable advise your dad gave you was about learning to adapt. I am turning 60 this year. I would not have gotten this far had I not been able to roll with the punches....and there were plenty along the way. For me, the Bush world was a real challenge. I watched the country turn into something that in my whole life I had never seen before. I sincerely hope your experience under Obama will not be as difficult. Learning to adapt under these circumstances builds plenty of character and equips you for all sorts of other challenges you will face along the way with you family life, jobs, social life and the like. One day at a time is a really good place to start.

O was elected the future president, so....sm [2008-11-11]
the only thing that we can do NOW is sit back and WAIT for O's actions. But give him ROOM FOR ACTION, without criticizing every little decision. You know, he IS the future president, time to accept it and, as kaydie's father states, to adapt to it.

Sorry, I want to correct my post...sm [2008-11-11]
Although my usage of the apostrophes is correct, grammatically the structure of the sentence is incorrect, it should be.... This proves exactly the philosophy of kaydie's father.' Thanks

ozzzz.........what an appropriate name....sm [2008-11-05]
you are definitely Over the Rainbow now. Abortion, gay marriages, and the right to bear arms only works politically when things are going right in American and we have nothing else to fight about. They are nonpolitical issues and are things that God will deal with when we get there (sans bearing arms). Well, according to Obama, everything will be going right, so these things apparently WILL become issues by your own reasoning. And you can bet your bippy (thanks kaydie for that, I love it!) that God will deal with this and likely sooner than later.

I'm here - been swamped with work [2008-11-04]
Just thought I'd check the board before signing off. I've been swamped with work the past couple days. I also decided to not post for awhile because no matter what I posted I was cut down by others. I was posting my opinions like others do, and posted articles I found of interest and got the usual cut downs. So I saved my sanity for awhile by not doing anything. I did read a couple posts below and see more insults, so at least it's not only me (not sure if that's a good thing). LOL. Anyway...it's going to be a very interesting day tomorrow and hope whoever wins whether it's McCain or Obama there will be some decency and just not coming on to gloat no matter which side wins. Will hope once this election is over time will mend hurt feelings. I'll be the first to admit it does look like Obama will win (if you are going by the polls), but I'll also be the first to say you can't judge everything by the polls and then I'm reminded of last election and what happened. So mix that in with mostly democratic areas being polled, voter registration fraud, and all that, I've learned not to count on the polls too heavily. One thing for sure, it will be interesting day. There has been a lot of animosity on this board and everyone is entitled to their opinions. I would have liked to have asked some serious questions, but I have learned just to keep silent as I was called a racist among other things. DidnOh look a kaydie clone. So just another nasty smear towards me without any real reason for it. Just not worth the headache anymore. So for me, I will be working tomorrow and keeping my ears open through the day as to how the election goes. I may post again on this board just not sure at this point. I may just stick to the Gab board as that is a little more uplifting. Haven't decided yet. Thanks for the what happened to kaydie message, didn't think anyone would notice I haven't been on.

Please don't stop posting here [2008-11-04]
kaydie, please don't stop. Although some people have been exceedingly rude here, I am among those who did appreciate the info you posted. Please don't don't stop. You would be missed.

see message....sm [2008-11-02]
You know, kaydie, I responded to a post on this subject some time back, and said if this is true, and if Obama is elected, or anyone is elected to high office (including McCain or anyone else) and has done so against the laws and the constitution, and it is found out after being elected, that that person should be immediately impeached and thrown in jail. I asked if anyone on this board was with me. Well now. Only one person responded and agreed with my above statement. Only one. No one else on this board, and I wanted to hear from democrats, republicans and independents. I heard from one person. What does that tell you?

for Kaydie [2008-11-02]
Your unselfishness by serving the best country in the WORLD is literally beyond admirable. Whenever I see one who served our country, their uniform, cap (I hope I said that right), I become very emotional. In fact, I wanted to work at the Army &/or Marines office nearby, rather than this job. Since I didn't serve, I was unable (as I interpreted it). I salute you, kaydie, the same as I do John McCain and all the rest! It makes me furious when your votes mysteriously disappear, etc. It's despicable! What does that say aboout the opposing party? There's no denying it! THANK YOU, kaydie! You're a true patriot!

Silly? I think not. [2008-11-01]
It started below with kaydie saying NO ONE gave their reasons for voting for change, etc. etc. How about your REAL reasons for voting for McCain. Abortion is a legitimate issue for some and not for others. I meant how about giving some real reasons for voting for McCain? Do you think her will raise taxes? lower taxes, end the war? What? Don We If wanting to know your personal reasons is silly then so be it. Who knows, if you posted enough REAL reasons you might change some of the undecided voters but constantly hammering Obama is not going to do it. Well....maybe it will for some but not for people capable of thinking for themselves.

ummmm....sm [2008-10-29]
kaydie, are you thinking of Stephen Baldwin, who played Cody in that tv show?

In defense of Kaydie - [2008-10-28]
I don't really think that kaydie needs me to defend her - I think she is pretty tough - but Stardust, you are wrong this time. Up front, I have already voted for Obama... I have had several conversations with kaydie lately and I have never heard her say anything negative about Obama because he is black. And she is right to say that there is a stereotype about black women and the way they talk. Also, if kaydie is wrong, and I have shown her at least 1 time that she was wrong, then she will post an apology and accept that graciously. This time, however, she is not wrong. And by the way, if you are not getting it out of her messages, she is a black woman herself. Sorry, kaydie, if I stepped into your battle unwanted.

I believe it is all distasteful - [2008-10-27]
kaydie, did not want to argue with you, I just knew that I had already seen articles about Obama being hung by a noose on a college campus before today - was not even a Halloween decoration - it was some fraternity or something. Would love to keep talking with you!

LOL...Casper has definitely been registered... [2008-10-27]
if ACORN had anything to do with it. Good one, kaydie.

Are there two Kaydies on this board? [2008-10-23]
Unfortunately, I did not see the message below until after I posted mine. You say that you don't know who you are voting for yet. Aren't you the same kaydie that listed 25 reasons why you are voting for McCain in the poll down below?

I'm the same person [2008-09-22]
Don't know how I got the two separated but just so you know I'm the same person. Don't want to appear misleading. Sometimes on the gab board I will put kaydie and on the political board I put me, but every once inawhile the two get backwards. Not sure I can reset that so only one name will come up. Like I say, not being misleading I just don't know how to reset. PS, still been coming to the board here this morning since I last posted (I think I need some counseling to get un-addicted to this board ha ha), but still haven't had a chance to read your post. Still, thank you for the time you took to reseach and I will read with an open mind. After all I could be wrong. I usually tell people. I may not always be right, but I am never wrong. HA HA HA. Will read your post later - promise.

I don't care what you think....sm [2008-09-15]
But some intelligent posters (on both sides) do care what the military on the ground, over in Iraq and Afgahanistan, how they truly think and feel. Not just what the media feeds you. I care what the troops on the ground, themselves, think and feel. And let me say again...No....I don't care what you think, as obviously you don't think much at all. All you do is attack. kaydie was right. All that a couple of you of you dems on this do is attack, attack, attack....what children you are.

I definitely don't base it JUST on morals [2008-09-12]
I guess I should have been more elaborate on that. And you are completely right, most presidents change their tune after they get into the white house. I feel like we are almost gambling when we vote, who will change less? Honestly, if we could take the candidates and even the VPs and just mush them into one candidate, I think we would be flying pretty high. I think my biggest fear right now is that myself and a lot of people I know are one step from losing our homes and standing in the breadline. I Get upset that my husband and I both work extremely hard to keep what we have (which isnthe middle child in a family - often forgotten about, but expected to behave anyways. On religion, check out my reply to kaydie. I've written a short summary of a part of the book I mentioned to her in response to you saying that Jesus was a highly evolved human being (I used to believe the same thing) Josh Mcdowell puts it like this: either Jesus was a liar, a lunatic, or Lord. If he spent his life telling everyone that he was the Son of God and getting people to believe and follow him and he knew that he wasn't, then he was a liar. But the question poses, can someone that evil hearted (remember a lot of his disciples left there homes, family, jobs, etc to follow Him and were even killed defending His name) never do wrong? See I believe that there were enough people that hated Jesus that after he died if someone tried to talk about how great he was they would have been writing about ANYTHING wrong he did if they knew that he did. We would have heard about it. Lunatic - If he did all this not knowing that he was being deceptive, and he really believed that he was the Son of God, then he had to be crazy. But this is crazy to the tenth power. Most lunatics who believe they are something else believe they are something tangible, such as a dog or a butterfly or another human. To believe that your the Son of God (remember, there was no Son of God in history before him, so it's not like it was a term thrown around or an unoriginal idea) is very unlikely. Not to mention how eloquent of a speaker Jesus was and how he was so easily able to explain things. Lord - If Jesus was neither a liar or a lunatic, then he must be who he says he is - Lord, the Son of God. And since the Son of God cannot sin, he cannot lie, which means when he says I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no one comes to the Father EXCEPT by me then he must not be lying. Josh Mcdowell explains this a lot better than I can (thata great man or a great teacher but I feel now that it was so rude of me to say that of someone who personally died for me. Just my ideas! Thanks for giving me yours! It's nice to be able to talk back and forth about this without anyone getting upset! :-D

I have to say this board is worse than the media [2008-08-30]
Yes, I'm both people...don't know how that happened but I'm both kaydie and me (just wanted to make sure people didn't think I was trying to be evasive or sneaky or something) Talk about instanteous cut downs without even doing any research. I stopped watching MSNBC when they cut her down for no reason. I listen to FOX to a certain extent (I cannot stomach Hannity - think he is the most condescending irrational person on TV - he makes my skin crawl), but I'm trying to go everywhere to hear view points. But this board is bad. Because I so strongly supported Barack until yesterday, when I opened my mind and started learning more about her and her experience and what she has done for the people of her state the more I like her. I almost feel like I've come off of some drug-induced high or something and can see clearly now. I'll admit - I still like Obama (though I'll get some criticism from some on that), I just like Sarah more and I think she would be a better President than Obama.

Thanks for being honest, Kaydie. :) [2008-08-30]
It is fine to support whoever you want to support, and it is fine to change your mind about who you support. It should be who YOU want and feel will do the best for the country, whoever that is. And to have the guts to say so. Good for you, kaydie! I just got back from Gettysburg, and read the words so that government of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, and for the PEOPLE shall not perish from this earth. It does not say government of the PARTY, by the PARTY, and for the PARTY, shall not perish from this earth. It is about us, as individuals, and I wish every individual this election cycle would vote their individual conscience, what they really feel is right for the country, not what the DNC or RNC tells them they should. THAT is what I like about Sarah Palin. She has bucked her party, she has faced down good ol' boy politics in her own party and cleaned them out...and most of all...she says that elected officials should serve with a servant's heart. GOOD FOR HER!! What a breath of FRESH AIR and how much further could you get from Washington politics as usual than that?? GO MCCAIN-PALIN!!

For someone who doesn't trust either one of them, your bias leans heavily left. Yes, I have heard both of them speak. I watched all of the Dem debates; apparently you didn't. I watched all the Repub debates...apparently you didn't. I have seen lots of snippets where a reporter threw questions at Obama he wasn't expecting and if you want deer in the headlights you should have been watching then. It only stands to reason that someone with McCain's years in the military, his war time experience, his service on the armed forces subcommittee, his ability to deal with Republicans, Democrats and Independents, has the most foreign policy experience and on and on and on...does not take a rocket scientist to see who is better qualified for the job. Does the person most qualified for the job always get it...no. Obama and his wife both have racist tendencies. Read up on them, not starting yesterday. They went to a church for 20 years under a theology that is racist, as pointed out by the poster below. He is trying to distance himself from it now...and it is working, because there are those who are going to believe whatever he says, no matter what he says or how many times in a 24-hour period he changes what he says. I guess you may be one of those folks...just an observation, not meant as a slam. As to Rev. Hague and John McCain...you are grasping at straws there. Not anywhere NEAR the same thing. McCain has not been a close personal friend of Hague for 20 years, has not attended his church for 20 years, has not referred to him as his mentor...see the difference? It is a huge one. As to McCain being one step away from Alzheimer's...you think you are really capable of judging that? You might want to check out your references too...Fox, CNN, Limbaugh, and other McCain supporters you said. I can tell you right up front...CNN would be apoplectic to be placed between Fox and Limbaugh. ROFL. Geez. CNN is about as far from conservative as Obama is from McCain. lol. Yes, they were both in the senate. Obama is one of, if not THE MOST, liberal senator on the hill, by his voting record, and his voting record is what you should be looking at instead of listening to hope and change with nary a mention of what does he hope for and what kind of change does he intend to make. Anything I have seen so far, and in looking on his website, is going to raise taxes, raise taxes, raise taxes, and I donmiddle class, when have the Democrats EVER passed tax law that impacted only the rich? Let me see....gosh, I think that was on the 5th of never. He already wants higher payroll taxes. He said so. Don't think that is going to affect the rich nearabout as much as it is going to affect you and me, kaydie. Have a nice day.
