I have to say that even if Obama wins (and I pray to Jesus that he does) I am very sad about how some people have talked about John McCain over the last few months.  There are many people on the left (you know about them already) that are being quite unfair - not in their opinions - but in how they apply one set of opinions to Republicans and then one set of opinions to Democrats.  It's disgusting.  I don't want McCain to be president - but it's not because I believe he's the anti-Christ (as many on the left seem to feel) - but because I honestly believe he's not suited for the job.  Don't think I'm letting any Republicans off the hook here - I'm not.  People are people.  There are people on this website attacking Obama with gusto - and they decrying others using those same tactics against Palin.  It's very difficult to wade through all the crap on these websites and find people that are actually *trying* to find common ground.

When Jamie Lynn Spears’ pregnancy was revealed, for example, Bill O’Reilly went after her parents.
“On the pinhead front, 16-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant. The sister of Britney says she is shocked. I bet.
“Now most teens are pinheads in some ways. But here the blame falls primarily on the parents of the girl, who obviously have little control over her or even over Britney Spears. Look at the way she behaves,” O’Reilly declared.

When a caller to Rush Limbaugh’s radio show asked about Spears’ parents, Limbaugh also rushed to blame them.
Caller: Would you tend to think that a family in this position, though, wouldn’t you think that there would be a more watchful eye as a parent to be watching over these kids so this doesn’t happen to them?
Limbaugh: I would certainly hope so, but it’s long past time for this to happen. The parents here are the culprits!

Personally, I feel the candidate's family is off-limits.  But Newt and Rove let that genie out of the bottle with Chelsea a long time ago.

oh don't you even go there.

yup, i agree with you again. all points but for obama. he scares me. so does mccain for that matter, but at least he's the devil i know...or can seem to get to know anyway.

fine then.  let's make it a two way street.  The Obama children are no longer off limits.    Nor is Mrs. Obama.
