I am totally against a draft unless we are actually going to fight where we absolutely must. I support the troops in Iraq wholeheartedly and feel terrible that they ever had to go there in the first place. We are in the wrong country. This is not a "war", this is an invasion. I am sick of it being called a war.
We cannot even go where we need to NOW because there are no troops left to send because they are all in the wrong place. I was on my honeymoon in Dec 2001 when they "had" Bin Laden in Tora Bora and they didn't get him. It's 7 years later and look what on earth has happened. The suicide rate among the military is at its highest rate ever because these poor people get no services or support when they return, and they have to go back so many times I would want to kill myself too! Anyone that would join the military right now would have to be nuts. That is sad.
I can't read this whole thread and I wish I had been able to come on when it first started, but my view on Sarah Palin is not good. She scares the crap out of me. She is a pathological liar and a narcissist. She didn't sell the plane on ebay, she didn't fire the chef, she fired the librarian that wouldn't ban the books, she was FOR the bridge to nowhere and took the money, she charges the state per diem when she stays at home and does nothing, she abuses power and fires people for personal reasons, and she won't do a legitimate interview with a reputable news organization unless it is taped and the McCain camp gets to call the shots. She has no foreign policy experience and is against abortion even in cases of rape and incest, which by the way has the highest rates in her very own state. She agreed to make rape victims even pay for their own RAPE KITS. She thinks homosexuality can be prayed away and that it was God's plan to go to war in Iraq and to drill in Alaska.
The McCain campaign ads against Obama are vulgar and repulsive. They have implied (well not implied, they lied) that Obama tried in the Senate to institute sex ed in kindergarten. That is not what he did. He wanted to teach youngsters to be careful of sexual predators, to tell if they've been touched in bad places, to run and scream if a stranger offers them some freaking candy. That's what he did. They painted him out to be a pervert. The lipstick thing is absurd, it had nothing to do with her, it's a common phrase that politicians have been using for years and he was talking about McCain's policies or lack thereof, not Sarah Palin!
If I hear her VP acceptance speech one more time on the campaign trail, with every word coming out of her either a lie or a lie by omission I am going to puke.
Sorry if I offended anyone! Love you all! :l
