Check out the latest that Obama just launched online… all I can say is this man GETS it. He just understands us “internet” people.

I agree with both of you. It is a shame that people can not talk about politics or religion without becoming just plain mean.

You said why can’t more conservatives be more like me, I wish both conservatives and liberals could. Not that they agree with me, but that that can state their view and not be ugly.

Well-written piece, Michael. I’m a conservative, which doesn’t necessarily make me a republican. A good friend of mine, who happens to be liberal, and I had a discussion on the presidential race. It was a very good debate. We both entered into it knowing we wouldn’t change each other’s minds and yet we respected each other’s views. Afterward she said she really enjoyed talking to me. She said there aren’t too many people you can have a civilized discussion with these days. In the end we decided, as your article states, the difference between a conservative and a liberal is where you draw the line on government involvement (or to use my word, interference.) Cheers.

Michael,

I’m a strong and somewhat liberal Democrat. I must say when I began to read this article (knowing you were a McCain fan), I began to cringe.

Wow… thank you for proving me wrong! What an incredibly, well-written opinion! Thank you for being fair. Thank you for voicing your opinion AND STILL being fair! That’s incredible.

Now the real question remains: why can’t the rest of the right-wingers be more like you?

All seriousness, you bring up some great points and I agree with most of them, even with me being for President-to-be Obama. I truly think he’s the best man for this job.

But also, for the first time in 8 years, I’m not sicken beyond belief in fearing if a Republican will win like I’ve been in the past.

George Bush is the worst thing this country has had in a long, long time and neither a Democrat or a Republican can deny that.

So here’s to McCain, Hillary or Obama. Lead this country to a better place.

Jeff
