The debates have been interesting but I have not narrowed my support down to one candidate. Unfortunately, the one voice in the campaign who is speaking truth to power - Kucinich - will not be the party's nominee.stash haushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10244605573080920528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-52308614692007995292007-11-19T20:26:00.000+00:002007-11-19T20:26:00.000+00:00Happy Birthday, Señor Miles - I hope there's a gre...Happy Birthday, Señor Miles - I hope there's a great cake for you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-88582112621918311872007-11-19T14:40:00.000+00:002007-11-19T14:40:00.000+00:00Happy Birthday, Mr. Miles, and may you have many m...Happy Birthday, Mr. Miles, and may you have many more. <BR/>I always get a gauge of 7.6 on Fair Isle.

I hope you both have a lovely day & lots of treats :)<BR/><BR/>Have to admit I'm rubbish at politics & know very little about it, and am very impressed by the photo! <BR/><BR/>It seems with politics these days that there's only ever a 2 horse race, that there's never anyone truly inspiring, and that you never get who you actually want, and you just have to make a decision between what you feel is the lesser of two evils. With what little I do know about US politics, my gut feeling has always been to like Obama, so am disturbed to see the info from Mel, and will certainly be educating myself a bit, even though I have no say in the outcome!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-27635318674388017932007-11-19T09:17:00.000+00:002007-11-19T09:17:00.000+00:00I have seen that photo before.

I think that a lot of it for me is the concern that he seems a little too good to be true. Of more recent and specific concern, though, is his campaigning at events with "ex-gay" gospel singer/minister Donnie McClurkin, among others. Allying himself, even if only incidentally (although I think that his campaign either organized or sponsored these events), with someone who says that people like myself are <A HREF="http://www.nbjcoalition.org/news/nbjc-responds-to-obamadonnie.html" REL="nofollow">"trying to kill our children"</A> is simply unacceptable. It is also, disappointingly, simply more of the same.<BR/><BR/>In the end, I will likely not vote for Obama in the primary. It seems that the candidate whose views are closest to my own is Mike Gravel, who has the proverbial snowball's chance of winning, but it seems those views should at least get some representation at the ballot box. Come the election itself, I'll vote for whomever the Dems put forward, even if it means holding my nose while doing so.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047049720897209506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-26005954126211505522007-11-19T08:55:00.000+00:002007-11-19T08:55:00.000+00:00Happy Birthday Jean's DH!Happy Birthday Jean's DH!Nurhannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04467345452701105149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-1182607758820383562007-11-19T08:53:00.000+00:002007-11-19T08:53:00.000+00:00Happy Birthday Mr Miles.How will you celebrate?nHappy Birthday Mr Miles.<BR/>How will you celebrate?<BR/><BR/>nnataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781115380433579451noreply@blogger.com
