This way, the people who actually care about what the candidates think will vote. Only informed voters please.

With the Wright thing... That'...Yeah that was long! With the Wright thing... That's not ALL he ever preached I'm sure and most people don't agree 100% with their preachers. I think his serving the community and desire to be in goverment shows more patriotism then his preacher having issues.<BR/> And he's not friends with terrorists. He worked on a committee for a few years with one. I don't think anyone ever has control over who they work with. I know I never did and I certainly wasn't friends with people I worked with simply because we were co-workers. <BR/><BR/>I think the reasons black people being so emotional is probably more obvious down here. There is still quite a bit of racism, even here, and we aren't too "South"... but I never would have thought living in Utah that there is as much as there is still. <BR/> I'm with you on the slavery thing though. Civil rights and segregation and stuff sure, wasn't that long ago. But I never had slaves, I shouldn't have it held against me. <BR/> <BR/>And I'm totally with you on the time limit for welfare. Except in the case of mental illness treatment and disability... but I think most case workers can pick out who's taking advantage of the system and report them and then they should have a time limit set. The problem with "assistance programs" is that no one can agree on what's "bad enough" for help and what's not. And no one would agree on what an appropraite time limit is. Like my sister drives me nuts. She's mentally ill and needs medication, which she does get free. But she uses the mental illness as an excuse to never do anything and doesn't have to pay rent or anything. On her meds she's perfectly capable, but a lot of people with her disease aren't and sifting out who's capable and who's not is really hard to do. But I also don't think her choice to be a slug is the systems fault, because the system is needed by so many that can't function in society like she could. <BR/>All these things are pretty complicated and I think all parties (I know you hate parties) should start working more out.<BR/><BR/> And New Orleans is BELOW sea level!! I feel the same way towards people who live on cliffs and then are shocked when they have a mudslide and their house goes with it... duh!<BR/><BR/> And I like Oprah too, because she does try to get people out there to help fix stuff, not just sit around.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04322998859253683083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465821098291596446.post-77404656068557919822008-11-06T07:54:00.000-07:002008-11-06T07:54:00.000-07:00I'm actually pretty shocked that Prop 8 passed.

I mean, it's California...San Fran and Hollywood...I thought it was a given that it'd be shot down with flying colors of the rainbow. <BR/><BR/>I can't help myself liking Oprah. I don't love everything she says or does...but there are plenty of things she does that I'm all for--like paying people $100,000 of her own money to turn in pedophiles that are "on the run."Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621870577895839331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465821098291596446.post-29318799978392466522008-11-06T02:17:00.000-07:002008-11-06T02:17:00.000-07:00That was quite a soapbox, and was nothing but the ...That was quite a soapbox, and was nothing but the truth. <BR/><BR/>Except that you like Oprah. How anybody could like that horrid dyke family-killing communist POS and her boot-licking acolyte Doctor Mustache, I'll never know.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, I'll just say,"Yeah, what she said" and leave it at that. <BR/><BR/>Good rant.
