No doubt about it.<BR/><BR/>If I were in your shoes - if I had a vote - i'd put an 'x' on the ballot paper next to Obama too. What else can you do.ibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788986697776895039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291232662827929830.post-5379186734792920092008-10-14T20:53:00.000-07:002008-10-14T20:53:00.000-07:00I'm voting for Obama.

As far as black and white goes, McCain's thinly veiled racism is pretty black and white. I'm happy to call him on it, but I don't think his base really minds being called racist. I don't think he really minds either. BTW, the line about having read 5 or 6 books was meant to be a joke. I've been puzzling over the race issue since I was twelve or so. Sometimes I think I have an informed opinion. Most of the time I'm struggling.Your driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06406948739451124566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6291232662827929830.post-74085917476014101692008-10-14T13:33:00.000-07:002008-10-14T13:33:00.000-07:00I know how you feel when you say "I've lost the ab...I know how you feel when you say "I've lost the ability to frame a decent argument."<BR/><BR/>Perhaps it is a case of too much shit happening right now to properly absorb. I found myself attempting to engage in conjecture on somebody else's site a few days ago - I won't mention where, specifically - and while the point I struggled to make seemed fairly straightforward, I quickly exhausted myself and 'walked' away quite frustrated.<BR/><BR/>We are all of us grappling with issues on many levels at this moment in time. While McCain is an ass and Palin a vindictive media tart, it is sadly not all black and white.ibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08788986697776895039noreply@blogger.com
