She was never like this before!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I've sent her the Snopes.com links to many of her emails because she never checks to verify the truth of what she reads. Eventually, she stopped sending them to me.RedStateExilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09824076387519567713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21731268.post-1158167563201628042006-09-13T13:12:00.000-04:002006-09-13T13:12:00.000-04:00I don't know if you can stand in the way of fear b...I don't know if you can stand in the way of fear based civil division and make a difference, but it is worth a try. What the Governor needs to do is draw attention to the fact that this topic is a political divise to create division and promote mob mentality. George Wallace used this as I am sure you read my post on the issue. Informed people are your best asset, but the damamge might already be too much.<BR/><BR/>On a side note, how far are you from Peoria?John Hostyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152742238759546206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21731268.post-1158155179664674052006-09-13T09:46:00.000-04:002006-09-13T09:46:00.000-04:00Not good. Remember in a previous blog I mentioned ...Not good. Remember in a previous blog I mentioned the Center for Arizona Policy? Well a former president of that group (Len Munsil) is winning (last I heard) the republican primary for governor. The biggest issue in Az right now is illegal immagration. Governor Napolitano has not been proactive on that topic. Most voters will be voting for the strongest candidate on this issue. Len Munsil is that candidate. While illegal immagration is a big issue to me as well, I feel right now it's more important to have a governor who believes all citizens should have equal rights. Janet Napolitano is my choice for that reason and many others. She has been an excellent governor, better then we've had in decades.The New Village Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363256759293805194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21731268.post-1158124569635210802006-09-13T01:16:00.000-04:002006-09-13T01:16:00.000-04:00I believe it is time for us as voters to start tak...I believe it is time for us as voters to start taking back America. We need to put our voices out there and become a force they need in order to stay as politicians, or we need new candidates. Here in Massachusetts we have people who are listening to the common man, and I believe come November we are going to see a huge upset. There will be a democrat for governor for sure, and some of the haters that pushed so hard for a petition to ban gay marriage are not running again, like Representative Travis. Others like Joyce Spiliotis of Peabody have their work cut out for themselves trying to save their hides politically. <BR/><BR/>The great people of the commonwealth of Massachusetts are going to shock the world with this election, I can feel it. I hope we always remain in the forefront of equality and education. How are things looking in Arizona?John Hostyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152742238759546206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21731268.post-1158123778168909022006-09-13T01:02:00.000-04:002006-09-13T01:02:00.000-04:00I agree but if I may add another person who lacks ...I agree but if I may add another person who lacks vision. Karl Rove. I don't remember what it was all about but around a year ago I heard he was telling all the republicans in congress that if they did not pass a certain bill, no other bill they put together would pass. Whatever happened to the public voting who we want into office and those elected do our will? It's not just republicans who do that kind of travesty, but all politicians in the mainstream.The New Village Atheisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363256759293805194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21731268.post-1158117970853281722006-09-12T23:26:00.000-04:002006-09-12T23:26:00.000-04:00Raymond pointed out to me that Bush's comments on ...Raymond pointed out to me that Bush's comments on 9/11 came just before most political primaries. Did you see how his face had this wrinkled brow expression the entire time he spoke? Theatrics, simply theatrics. I am so critical of our president at this point I would not be surprized by anything anymore. "Read my lips" says his father, well read mine, "Bush lies."<BR/><BR/>Great job on the article Ken. I went to the website and listened to the song. I got choked up and started writing this post as I listened so forgive me if I seem over the top. When Clinton handed over the reigns this country was strong, proud, and well respected because we deserved to be. Look how far away from our old glory we have fallen, and it is because of the lack of vision of one person, and the inability of hundreds of millions to question his judgement.<BR/><BR/>Long live America, and may we have the courage to do what is right instead of what is easiest in order to fix what is wrong.John Hostyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05152742238759546206noreply@blogger.com
