Lord Voldemort, the nature of evil, and politics

[susanmcgee48176]

Yes we can....

I admire President-Elect Obama, and am reading his book the Audacity 
of Hope. I agree with some of what he says, particularly about 
children being courteous, disagree with others. I don't think he's a 
saint, nor a savior. He's a human being who will need all of our and 
your prayers and support and caring to pull the country out of the 
worst place it's been in generations.

I'm sorry to offend (once again) those who supported John McCain.
He sold his soul to the devil and has now neither his soul nor the 
office. I'm glad he was honorable at the end.

But where was his speech denouncing supporters who shouted "kill him" 
at an Obama rally?

I was happy to see him contradict his poor supporter who said that 
Obama was a Muslim? No, No, he's a good Christian.

But I support Colin Powell's comments (a republican). 

What is wrong with being a Muslim? could someone explain?

Mcain and Palin said that Obama was a terrorist, not a real American, 
the constant lies were spread that he was in fact a Muslim (how many 
here believed it?)...what did Obama say about McCain? That he was 
involved in a scandal? What did Obama say about Palin?

McCain wanted to name his friend Joe Lieberman as V-P...he was 
saddled with Palin with the Rovian right wing of his party who said 
he had to "energize the base" or he'd never win. They said he 
couldn't have a pro-choice VP. McCain had said that he would name a 
vice-president qualified to lead the country. Did he?

I can't grieve with you. We've endured endless war, a huge deficit, a 
totally inadequate response to hurricane katrina, people losing their 
homes, and their jobs, and the rich get richer...and the middle class 
gets poorer.

But I join with President Elect Obama to say that we ARE all 
Americans here in the United States, and we need to care for each 
other, be compassionate, and help each other. And it does mean 
something to me that the people of the world realize we're not all 
bigots here.
