This is not a political blog, however with a pretty historic election coming up, I wanted to write up my opinion at least somewhere. I’ve been a champ (for the most part) of keeping politics off of my Twitter profile. So, at least I can vent on my own blog at least once. Here I go…I will be voting for John McCain for Presid (Read More)
: I respect this guy's opinion, but he's presenting his views as independently-thought, but they're pretty much the standard talking points coming from the GOP. He lost me when he got to the "associations" point, since he's just regurgitating the GOP line, and if he really independently looked at both of these guys' associations, would find questionable on both sides. And really, Acorn, look it up, not any closer to Obama than it is to McCain (who was a keynote speaker from them in '06). These are both establishment men, who have both done admirable work for the country but have also compromised to get where they are. That's how our country works. If you really are going to make an independent decision (which probably nobody does), read the policies with a blind eye, listen to what reputable people (i.e. nobody online) says about them, look at their records. Ignore the talking points.
: @Macztar I too am voting for Bob Barr. As a member of the Libertarian party I have found the other candidates platforms leading away from a government based on the precepts of The United States constitution. Many will say that Libertarian candidates don't a have chance to get elected. The libertarian platform is the US Constitution. The future looks bleak for our republic. Libertarians will keep their integrity despite the outcome. Earl Wallace

All Facebook

Neil Cook, the European head of technology services at Cloudmark stated “once set up with a portfolio of fake profiles, virus writers encourage users to click on links to malicious sites by including them on post (Read More)
: I know many people well but do not subscribe to their politics - knowing well just does meet the image she tries to imply - one of being a terrorist by association.
If you do work in public or social organizations you don't get to pick all the people that are beside you. Neither McCain nor Obama can be faulted for "knowing well" disgraced members of the Senate or House - they could however be faulted if they subscribed to the sins. I do think she went to far, if for no other reason than showing her hypocrisy. How can she attack Obama on this when she agreed to a video for a party tied to separatism? This was something that was under her control even if her Husband's past membership was not.
