Why did you vote for Obama or not...?

[Edwina's Secretary]

I thought you were removing yourself from the thread out of respect for
the OP? What happened? Why did you feel it was your duty to contradict
another person's opinion? Everybody's opinion should be respected, no?

His hatred of my opinion is certainly coloring his judgement!

I have yet to see him respect any opinion that differs from his own opinion.

That this war is based on anything BUT lies is your opinion LH. Just that. Your opinion. Not fact.

And btw...my hatred is for the actions of this administration - not the administration. You know....hate the sin, love the sinner?

Well, as you can see Carole, our reasons for voting for a particular person are quite varied.

What can seem like a forgivable flaw or misstep to one voter can be a deal breaker for another voter.

This is what our politicians have to deal with. Trying to appeal to as many voters as possible without stepping on too many landmines. Statements get taken out of context, and sometimes people hear what they want to hear.

There will never be a "perfect" candidate because all of us have different ideas of what that "perfect" candidate would be. I do not agree with my candidate on every issue, but he didn't do anything that fell into the "dealbreaker" category as far as I was concerned.
