This emotionally charged vitriol is unfortunately characteristic of the extreme left wing of the Democratic party (hence the "nut" comment).<BR/><BR/>Like you, I enjoy a good back and forth with any person willing to share ideas civilly.<BR/><BR/>Who are "the powers" that are running the McCain campaign? I am a little hesitant to get into a discussion about stolen elections, but it would be interesting to know how you think that is possible.Bullfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12019620619450825193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20044969.post-66822574035145063412008-09-02T19:53:00.000-07:002008-09-02T19:53:00.000-07:00I believe we have earned each others respect, or e...I believe we have earned each others respect, or else we wouldn't frequent each others blogs as much as we do. (I haven't been holding up my end as well. Sorry about that.) That is an assumption though, since it hasn't been expressed.<BR/><BR/>So let me state it now. I do respect your opinion. You take your beliefs seriously and you have a tremendous amount of knowledge that I like to tap into from time to time. And probably the most important part for me is that you stay civilized when people disagree with you.<BR/><BR/>With that said, I have to say that I am disappointed with two parts of this post.<BR/><BR/>One is the labelling of people who avidly disagree with you as "wingnuts". I make it a point to avoid those who resort to name calling. I don't mean that as a threat, since this is the first time I can think of that you've done so. Mostly, I simply want to express that I'm disappointed. You've always been better than that.<BR/><BR/>Two, <B>IF</B> I'm reading it correctly, a person who doesn't like the McCain/Palin ticket is also against life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Is that correct? If so can you understand how someone would find that completely unreasonable? Even ridiculous?<BR/><BR/>As for the very last part of your post, and I can only speak for myself, I hope McCain doesn't win but it seems clear that the same powers that ran the Bush campaign are running McCain's. Understanding that, there's no way I'm getting my hopes up for Obama to win. (Emphasizing again that I'm not an Obama supporter, but he has done some things to start earning my respect while McCain has done everything he can to lose the respect I used to have for him.)Outside the Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761797457652680431noreply@blogger.com
