And in case you’re wondering, I didn’t vote for Bill Clinton for his second term either.

Something else you and I share in common.

And, yeah, it feels now a lot like it did then.

@cindy: Hi cindy! IYeah, my initial reaction was obviously “no way no how,” but thanks to the wonderful people that read and discuss here, I’m going to reconsider, investigate and think on it more. I do like McKinney, though.

I don’t like it when people try to scare others into voting for their candidate with McCain scare tactics, but the fact remains that NO ONE that I run with wants to see that man as President, and the reality is that he does still have a chance. Sometimes I need to leave my idealism at the door.

I’ll be heading over to your new diggs!

@Michael’s Mom: And your opinion will matter to me when you show me where I’ve said anything about not voting.

Thanks for pointing out the typo, though.

I love your letter and feel the exact sentiments you describe, including pist about the so-called be the first to know thing.

But, as I was overhearing some white vendors at the Woodstock, NY, flea market yesterday say, it still takes a white man …

(to win the majority confidence I presume) and that if he had chosen a woman etc etc it would have flopped his chances.

I still am voting for Obama, though.

Hey, I used to be sea at listening for change, got a divorce and moved to the new site since the old site had my married name on the url.

I’ve been busy moving but am blogging again lightly.

It is going to be interesting to see how this works out.

I have mixed feelings about the choice of Biden.

I want to see what type of impact this has on the overall process.

But I do understand why you feel like you do.

You might want to go with your conscience instead of your conscious, first.

Second, if you don’t vote your opinion doesn’t matter to me.

Just incase my reply may not get posted, I am reposting since I violated board policies before by using an unacceptable name.
=================

It passed 98-0 in the US Senate. Obama was not in the US senate at the time. He was in the Illinois senate at the time he oppose the bill three times. And yes the Illinois bill specifically say roe v wade would NOT be affected. I am pro choice but This Born Alive Infants Protection Bill that Obama oppose is an unforgivable act.

Guess what, the Bill pass only after he left the Illinois Senate. Obama does whatever his handlers tell his to do.

As a conservative independent, I think sometimes we are too forgiving of our leaders.

By the way, I hope you enjoy his VP pcik. If Joe Biden was anything but a deocrat he woul dhave had to resign from the senate long time ago for some of his offensive statements on slavery and minorities.

No way Joe Biden was his decision.
