What I do dislike is the feeling that some Americans are slipping -- setting the bar way to low. I was honestly shocked that the Republican party was not up in arms when McCain named her as his running mate. I did have much more respect for the right-wing before that. That is also, when many of my Republican friends and family, decided they could not, in all good conscience, vote Republican in the last election.

Wow, you talk about liberals being starry-eyed over President Obama! Ha! That was nothing compared to the adoration for this inadequate woman I saw come from the right-wing. She looked like a fool on national television, she looked like a hate-monger at the rallies... I'm sorry I just don't get it.

Again, let me say this simply -- I think Sarah Palin is inadequate. Does that sound like a hateful sentence? You won't like it because you sound like you all believe she is. Just because I have an opposite opinion, doesn't mean I hate. I don't hate. But, I do see an awful lot of it coming from right-wing extremists! Now, if you can't admit that to even yourselves, there's something reeeeeeeally wrong. Why even your posts back to me, sound as if you hate me! I don't think that's the case. You just oppose or disagree with me. Fine! That's what makes America, America.

Bucco, I have posted my views on Health Care, Afghanastan, and the economy here and there, quite a few times. Perhaps you just don't chose to read them. As far as frauds go, they're on both sides of the aisle. Plain and simple. The next election will tell the tale. I would like to see Nancy Pelosi gone. And Cashman, I don't know what liberal shows you think are failing... perhaps there are, but I'm a CNN junkie and Meet the Press, and I don't believe either of those are liberal or slanted to the left.

Now, if you'll excuse me, it's a clear day in The Villages. I'm going to see if I can spot Alaska from my backyard.
