Does a moose care from which direction the bullet comes?I will never, EVER support hunting from the air. It's barbaric and cruel IMO and nothing Palin says will convince me otherwise.

I would just like to thank all of you Hillary supporters. I am a Republican, but I watched her at the DNC, I teared up when she gave her speech and again when she gave her votes to Obama. It was a great/sad moment for me as a woman. Since then, the Clintons have been very statesmen like and respectful of all the candidates. They are supporting Obama, but they haven't resorted to personal attacks. Hillary has shown a side of her that I had not noticed or paid any attention to before. I really wish she was running for President because I wouldn't be so worried about this election. Thanks to the Obama/media, I thought diffferently during the primary. Now, with more facts, the way she has handled the media and Obama has made me consider supporting her in the future.
I was thinking a lot about yesterday. On 9/11/2001 I expected as did the rest of America for our President, our Congress, and our Senate to get back to Washington DC and take care of our crisis. We had thousands of people dead due to a terrorist attack and the attack also impacted our economy. We needed our government back, doing their jobs. We needed our President leading our country and our Congress and Senate writing/passing whatever bills they could in order to help protect our country from further attacks and to try to stabilize the economy after the 9/11 impact.
We are currently on the brink of total financial collapse. This country is once again in a crisis that needs to be addressed. We need all of our senators and our congress coming up with a solution in order to resolve this. In other words doing their job. I expected three senators to return to Washington to do their jobs and only John McCain did.
The press is trying to spin this, based upon Obamas prompting, that he (Obama) can multi-task and hes showing great leadership. While Obama may be running for President, hes not currently President but he is currently a US Senator elected by people to represent their interest. Obama would not be multi-tasking on the campaign trail. No, hed be giving pretty speeches and pointing fingers at others to blame them for this mess. His call me if you need me attitude does not speak of leadership qualities. For a man who has voted present just about more times than hes actually voted you would think he would have jumped on the opportunity yesterday to return to Washington, do his job, and illustrate true leadership qualities. But, no, he didnt want to show up until someone else had created a solution and than he would just show up and vote and then own it like hes owned so many other things that hes had nothing to do with.
The media can keep spinning this story as much as they like. Yesterday Obama illustrated that campaigning is more important to him than doing his job as a US Senator. Hes always been the one trying to get that higher job title and never doing any work to actually earn it. Im embarrassed for Obama that he actually had to be called back to Washington by the President.
Whats really sad: if Hillary had been the Democratic nominee, none of yesterdays drama would have ever occurred. Hillary would have been on that plane with McCain back to Washington to do her job. Shes shown in the past that she cares about the people and works for the people shes elected to work for. Obama has yet to show that.
What bothers me is after MaCains dramatic announcement he stayed in NY for 2 days before he went back to DC.He is full of crap. It was a stunt & nothing more.
I could careless whats on Obama's mind he is full of crap too.
First of all, I have been a supporter of the Sierra Club for years. They are NOT a radical, "kill-nothing" group by any means.
I will never, EVER support hunting from the air. It's barbaric and cruel IMO and nothing Palin says will convince me otherwise. I do however believe that she might not think it's cruel but I'd like to hear what she has to say.
As for other culling of this type, I am regularly outraged by any of it. I understand it in an oblique way when it's done to help starving animals, keep pets from being attacked and so on but from what I understand the animal population in Alaska is just fine. That's one of many reasons I think that Palin needs to explain her position on this. And it matters a LOT to me.
So did Friday's debate help anyone decide? It didn't do a thing for me.![]()
Well, it didn't change my mind about anything. I did like that Obama seemed to carry himself better in the debate than he appears in media interview type settings. I gave a slight edge to Obama, but I think it was a pretty even match over all. I got a little tired of the "John, that just isn't true" and the "Senator Obama doesn't understand" banter between the two of them. You can only repeat something once or twice before it becomes annoying. I don't think either of them really squarely addressed any particular issue. And I can't really say I'm 100% comfortable voting for either of them. So back to voting for who I think wil pick SC Justices that better match my point of view.
The only thing that has occurred to me lately is that neither Obama or McCain are prepared to handle a mess like we have right now. But really who is.
I'm very worried today.![]()
