Hey I never claimed that my personal opinions were gospel Sadistic. I was just saying what was going through my head as I watched and then later read the speach. I wasn't writting a peer reviewed doctoral thesis for your approval.
Personally I am all for heath care reform. (see my posts on it in universal health care thread) http://www.bdsmlibrary.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=18852
I just havent seen any yet, nor has what I have seen being purposed by the current administration even close to what I want to be done.
I fully support gay marrige (see that thread at your lieasure as well along with the sexual orientation in the military one)
I am also against torture and having our troops running hillie nille all over the globe pushing our ways on everyone else with the point of a gun (imperialism by any other name in my book). As you can also see from my numerous posts in those related threads.
Though if we do have to fight somewhere, imho we should get in, do it, and get out. Not hang around and turn it into a long term occupation.
I even supported Obama's campaign in its early stages until I had studdied his credentials (which were no better than Palins) and decided to support McCain instead (also a bad choice I know cuase he has turned out to be yet another lieing a hole willing to sacrifice his principles) but at the time he still seemed more cualified than Clinton(lesser of two evils imho).
In fact at this point, I am thinking the best thing we as americans can do is voting out all incumbants every time and replaceing them only with canadaites that don't have democrat or republican next to their name on the ballot.
