JWoods,
There's a lot of name calling and seven year-old mentality on these threads, from both sides. I have a real bone to pick with anyone who gets their political views from a comedy show (the Daily Show) or a news station (Fox News). It just breeds contempt, and usually the whole thread just becomes, well, awful. Also, I have more than a little contempt from anyone who takes Michael Moore's movies as gospel truth. (he's an entertainer and the movies are extremely biased)
For the record, you certainly don't seem like one of those seven year olds freaking out over a political thread on an ex-jw forum, and for that I thank you.
And for the sake of the United States, I hope Mr. Obama has someone better to run against than Palin. Really, in our country we get the news stories and people are quite shocked that a country like the States is even considering her as president. As Matt Damon said quite some time ago, would you trust her with the codes to nuclear bombs? I'm thinking not.
