Let me ask you a question: Do you hope I am right? |
I'm from Missouri-so show-me(and I got the time).
Actually JAD, I like to think there is good in all people. I'm sure Barack is not a evil or sinister guy. I have listened to several of his speeches(un-edited) and he talks a good game. If he is genuine then he has some good traits(ie his views on personal responsibility) which by the way goes against his party values, IMHO.
I can't say I hope you are right because personally I am sick of the whole political process and may not vote at all for the first time in twenty years. I really don't
like any of them. The men that I thought may be right for the job are already out of the race. Not only do my political views differ greatly from Obama and Clinton I really don't like the character of either. I am a libertarian(not a liberal!) and I am afraid that, IMO it is too late to fix many global problems and some here at home through the political process or diplomacy. Now I know the image some people draw when a person says what I just did(usually liberals). So to answer that I will say I am a very happy, positive person. No doomsday, evrything is hard, everything sucks, kind of attitude.
