I watched the Democratic convention on CSPAN.

I am SO enthusiastic about Obama. He is so smart, a Harvard lawyer that specialized in Constitutional law.

He runs such a good campaign which is so indicative of how he will form his cabinet. He surrounds himself with retired generals, past cabinet members, he seems to understand how to make Washington work.

I agree with his stand on:

economy
universal health care
affordable drugs
Iraq
Middle East
Europe
social security
supreme court
women's issues

I do not agree with McCain/Palin at all.

I will not disparage. NT rules make it clear that a positive message is acceptable and I will say again, Obama/Biden have my vote.

I don't like to get involved in political stuff...so I'll leave that part alone...

but I just wanted to say that I am happy to "see" you...

(((BIG HUGS)))

and hope that arid extra dry is working. LOL

I know, who moi. And my thread was a bit repetitive. I knew that too. I just wanted to jump in with a Democrat thread.

Plus I no longer stink...

oh yeah, I forgot these issues:

benefits for veterans
education
Iraq war timetable
I also want a pull out of Afghanistan
tax cuts for the middle class

my DD is getting a teaching degree. I am all in favor of her getting paid for working in the trenches known as public schools.

I am also in favor of Thanksgiving.

I am against:

privatization of social security
privatization of medical services
the Iraq War
permanent tax cuts that are currently in place

Who wouldn't be in favor of Thanksgiving? Stuffing is the best!!!
As a die-hard liberal Democrat (another mom actually called me that, she was a real republican) you know who I'm voting for.

My stuffing looks gross but it tastes good.

I am a die-hard liberal Democrat too and having been born in AZ, that makes me the TRUE MAVERICK.

I know maverick and McCain is no maverick. After all, it takes one to know one.

But back on topic, I loved what Obama outlined in his acceptance speech. He spoke to the issues and the issues speak to me.

I am against any drilling new drilling for oil.

who does the drilling? who profits? when?

I live in AZ. We have too much sun. I want solar power for my house. Makes sense.

Hey,
I will keep my political opinions to myself but had to chime in on the solar issue. I had a solar electric company out to my house last month, it's very expensive but worth it. I would do it in a second if I had the swiss bank account to fund it.

For my 1600 square foot house it would cost $27,000, of which I get APS (the power company) to pay 15K for, so I would be out of pocket about 10K (the government gives a 2K rebate, and the state gives a 1K rebate.

Many more should do it if it were more reasonable.

Hey, I am so voting for the two of them...ok..had to say that before I mention my wierd name deal....

ok when Obama first was in the running, I was like wow his name makes me think of war stuff....didnt even know his middle name at the time...Hussein

anyhow, so you know when words say one thing but you look at it and it shouts out different word associations...

ok so when he announced running mate...and I first seen the name Biden...first words came out in my mind..as I read it wrong was binladen....

ahhhhhhh just thought it was funny with words....still voting them on...hugssss,sarah

You just took the words out of my mouth. Thanks! I am for all of this too, especially heathcare and veteran's issues, to incude the war and the impact on our soldiers and homeland.
