| Man I love politics and am loving this debate when it stays above board.
I personally don't like that implication that because I am for Obama that means I have just somehow been bamboozled by his wit and charm and haven't actually dove into his political stance. I have very much so and not just on his personal website. I'm all for someone to show me things that will change my mind but since I didn't make a quick choice over a youtube video (that was SOOOO not directed at you Sherry. I've actually had someone tell me that) it is unlikely that it will happen.
I think what we need to remember in debates like this is that most people who want to chime in and talk politics have done their homework. I respect that. I respect your choice of candidate whether or not I respect your actual candidate or not because I assume you aren't just choosing someone willy-nilly and I appreciate the same respect. Oprah didn't choose my candidate for me. I'm smart enough to do that myself.
It just seems that in general when someone finds out I am an Obama supporter they immediately assume I must have been charmed and couldn't possibly know what I am really doing.
This ends my rant that is only loosely based on the subject at hand. Carry on.  |
