[over the mountain]

I used to follow politics very closely. After a while I realized that most of the senators from either aisle are so far detached from the reality that they once represented. I guess I am a democrat but I like to think (or used to think) I am an issue person.

I voted for Obama last election. I didnt vote the election before, if I did it would have been for Raplh Nader just to help support the cause of having three major political parties. With our current 2 major political party situation, both parties gravitate to polar opposites in misguided attempts to define themselves.

I really liked John McCain as well in elections prior, but Palin is such a joke and obama seems like the real deal. With McCain I saw a man that wouldnt backdoor america or lie to us or do things he honestly didnt feel was best for our nation. Thats the leader I look for, someone who is 100% devoted to america.

when i was really into politics (i.e. arguing with people on why they are wrong and I am right), I used to like what Pat Buchannon had to say.

What woud it take for me to change? lying or knowlingly misleading. I cant stand it. Bush knowingly put forth half-truths while turning a blind eye to contradicting facts when he made his cae for us to go to war at his state of the union address. to use a fairly hallowed and special presedential speech for propoganda and strict party interest disgusted me.

If I think Obama lies to a degree that repulses me like others have in the past, i will change. (ps bill lying about a BJ isnt close to being enough)
