i was about to rec'd until i saw you couldnt resist the last part to bash.
yep - hope 08!
I don't believe I bashed.
The change our country needs is based on hypocrisy, playing race cards, doing character assasination. That is what Hope and Change means for many followers.
It's really unfortunate you think that.
Agreed one shouldnt think like that. It is unfortunate that some people act like that.
It is unfortunate some people act like that, I agree with you.
However, you are painting "many" people with a very broad stroke here.
I, for one, have refrained from personally attaking anyone--including Hillary. However, every time I open my mouth in something modestly representing a dissenting opinion, I am either jumped on or personally attacked. I could say "many" Hillary supporters are [insert insult here], but I don't, because I know they aren't. What I do know is, there are a few Hillary supporters here who like to attack people for no real good reason, just as there are Obama supporters.
If the personal attacks on both sides would stop--that would be really great.
That's not what they mean to me. That's not what they mean to my friends and family who support Obama. You might in passing post a couple of comments here and there charging that these sentiments are all false. But you cannot tell me what Obama's brand of "Hope and Change" means to me and those around me.
I am not saying your sentiments are false and I am not saying what it should mean to you. I have no rights to tell you that. I am saying how it comes across. An inspiring person never bashes another person but lifts.
Your diary was very good and positive, till you included your bashing by association at the end.
