ok Jean, I love you baby you know that, and I was hoping someone else would go first.

Are we really going to decide that a political activist of the 1970's when times were VERY different than now is a terrorist? Come on! That's just party propaganda! If we are going to do that then we also need to call Malcolm X a terrorist, and several other political activists of the 60's and 70's. Let's leave the 70's and what they were for what they were, ok?

Obama and Ayers worked together until about 95, birds of a feather, etc.  Its not smut it speaks of your candidates character.

wow Jean, it's not like you to be so nasty! AND you DO NOT know WHO I am voting for.

Here's what I can tell you though - it is going to take something radical to change the direction is country has gone - the "same ol" politics of either party are not going to be enough.

 

Ann, I can't speak for Jean, and I don't want to get into a firestorm, but the idea I got was that her (Jean's) post was in response to Angela's (at least that is what I thought after seeing her referral to "smut" as Angela used in her post) and it is a little obvious that Obama is the candidate Angela is voting for. I could be wrong, but that's the idea I got.

Also, you are correct that Ayers did do these bombings in the 70's. But as I recall, Ayers also said as recently as 9/11/01 (I think we all know what was significant that day) that he wished his organization (Weather Underground) could have done more in regard to bombing more buildings in this country that they bombed. He was a domestic terrorist, and frankly it is important to take into consideration when the man we're talking about putting in the White House has any kind of connections to someone who has bombed buildings in his own country. It would be important no matter who the candidate is or what party he/she represents ESPECIALLY in a post-9/11 country.

We do agree that it's going to take a radical change to turn this country around instead of either party's "same ol politics."

Thank you, I was referring to Angela's post.

I really do not care who your response was to. When you ask a question and post a discussion as the leader of that discussion you have to stay OPEN to what people post even if you feel it's inappropriate. That is my concern. When you posted the question you became the facilitator of the discussion. If you want to just state your opinion then make it a statement not a question.

First of all I think a few things should be said since someone brought up the issuse of character.

McCain has very littlecharacter IN MY OPNION!  This man ran around on his first wife on many occasions by his own admission!  To me, that shows lack of judgement and character. Where were the religious teachings that he follws or is he a cafeteria christain and just chooses to follow the rules he wants?  Even your beloved leader Reagan was upset about the way he treated his former wife.

As for Palin how can she run under the banner "country first" when she has ties to the AIP who wants to separate themseleves from the U.S.! You should be afraid of these people who tell you one thing and do the opposite. Now I realize that her husband is more involved with the AIPthan she is, but if we follow your line of logic, then she is just as guilty! By telling the AIP to keep up the good work tells me that she agrees with their policies and practices. Seems to me that these people have the same views as Timothy McVeigh, and you're saying we should worry about Obama?

I must say that a little of my opinion of McCain went up when he corrected a woman at his rally we she refered to him as an arab. But for me it's a little to late.

I won't go into anything else ( there is SO much more!) I just thought since we are throwing around character I would toss this in.

Just my opnion that's all.
