EXCERPT: This might not surprise you at all. I, for all intent and purpose am a social conservative. I would not want tocallmarriage between 2 people of the same gender. After making that statement, it might surprise you that I voted against the proposition that makes an amendment to the Arizona state constitution that would say that marriage is between a man and a woman.
Though I agree that marriage is between people of opposite gender, that is how I recognise it personally, I disagree with...

EXCERPT: As you all may well kow by now, I am an active supporter of the Obama/Biden ticket. Now that the voter registration phase is over in Arizona, I go out and talk with my neighours and friends...both old and new, whenever I get the oppurtunity to talk about the ticket. Yes... no doubt that "going with the new guy" has it's risks.However, it is my opinion that doing the same thing we have done for at least the past eight years has not worked, and we have to try something else, new eyes,...

EXCERPT: Wow...I remember now what debate used to look like. Two men with differeing opinions standing toe to toe with each other without personal or condemning comments. I thought the format was wonderful, and the moderater did not ask "trap questions" or inject himself between the debators.
My take...
I would call it a draw on substance. I have to comment though that Sen McCain came into the debate with experience on foriegn policy, much like Mike Tyson comes into a boxing ring with...

EXCERPT: When I first came to this country in 1974 to live permanently I had a wonderful next door neighbour. She and her family were very welcoming to us and the friendship blossomed over the period of years we lived next to each other. We shared a many coffees and shopping excersions together her and I. Our children went to school together, my husband and her husband enjoyed fishing and hunting together. We went on vacations together, and a many Suns games as I recall. We lived next door to...

EXCERPT: No matter what you think about Russia and their doings in Georgia in the past week,  let us understand that it was a response, and it did not start last Friday.
Ask yourself something that it seems the media, or the is not asking.  Why did the Georgian government send the Georgian military to bomb a Georgian city when there was no military threat?  Even if the Russians exaggerated the number of civilians killed in the Georgian act against it's own citizens,...

EXCERPT: One of John McCain's fellow POW's in Vietnam defended the war in Iraq, saying, "The Muslims have said either we kneel or they're going to kill us."Colonel Bud Day added: "I don't intend to kneel and I don't advocate to anybody that we kneel, and John doesn't advocate to anybody that we kneel.'
Unfortualtly, this is one of many propaganda statements against Muslims that recently came up.
You know, I have watched, over a period of years, even befor 9/11 the villification of Muslims, and...

EXCERPT: I am confused. 
I don't know whether there are real John McCain supporters out there, or just people who are against Barak Obama.  I hear all about why people will not support Senator Obama, and I guess they are legitimate concerns too according to those who propose them.  I have heard things like...He is a "secret Muslim", or that he refuses to honor the American flag, or will not wear patriotic jewery.  I have heard them bring up his former pastor,...

EXCERPT: After Septembre 11, 2001, I noticed that in solidarity, most Americans flew the It was a symbol that basically told the evil ones that we do not bend to your will, and that your days are numbered as your deserved justice will soon befall you, and your ideology.  I belived that, and I (our household) posted a flag proudly with our neighbours.  Some people also put bumper strips on thier autos...and some posted flags somehow on thier antenne and windows. ...

EXCERPT: Hello from afar!!
ya know, this internet thing is amazing.  I can actually sit here and to the same things I did from my own family room in another place.  Here, I don't have a computer at home, but you can buy time, or a membership into a computer club.  Then you can come every day for a few hours and browse, or listen to whatever you want.  Hey, you can even write a letter or two.  You can also post on your old fourm haunts. 
Things are alittle...

EXCERPT: I am 60 years.  That is a long time.  I have seen much, been through much.  I have had many hopes fulfilled, and many crushed.  But you know...I have had a good live.  I am healthy and fit, and can still somewhat say I am sane.
However, there is something I have really never had. In younger days, I could blame someone else.  I could blame life, or an occupier, or my children and husband.  Today, I can only blame myself.  That one thing I...
