Ah, I see...so I supported Sen. Clinton, too...why is it that you 
couldn't bring yourself to support Senator Obama?

Palin said he was "palling around with terrorists."

Now, I suggest you google the New York Times article on Jeff Ayers.

First, the Weather Underground blew up countless buildings, but after 
the townhouse bombing renounced actions against individuals.

Second, Obama knew Jeff Ayres LONG AFTER HE WAS IN THE WEATHER 
UNDEGROUND, when Jeff was an Education professor...it was a casual 
business relationship....Obama was incredibly clear that he did not 
support in any possible way Jeff's actions.....

Like Hillary Clinton, whose mentor was Saul Alinsky...just as left as 
anyone...

I deny it. He's pro-Israel. No way is he a leftist. He's a 
pragmatist..

Please be very specific here. There were people on Obama's side who 
were misogynist and hateful about Senator Clinton, but the worst 
thing that Senator Obama said was that "she's likable enough." In 
fact, even though I was a supporter of Senator Clinton, her and 
President Clinton's comments were far more racist than Senator 
Obama's comments were sexist.

No, he's a registered Republican, and has never been a Dem.

Destroy him? After he campaigned for McCain? Nope, they're welcoming 
him back....

McCain caved into Karl Rove, etc. and chose an incredibly right wing 
Vice-President. Did you support Palin because she was a woman? That's 
an insult to me, since Palin was against every possible right for 
women and was obviously unqualified to be president of the United 
States.

I saw the Couric interviews..did you?

Tonks, I absolutely respect your opinions, but I respectfully 
disagree with them.

Best, Susan
