For those of you who intend to vote for Bush in November, I'm curious to know which part(s) of John Kerry's speech at Temple University today you don't like. I mean, what could you possibly dispute? (Oh, and if you're against freedom of choice and marriage equality, don't bother writing in. I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to people who want to discuss Iraq.) Me, I was practically shouting "Yes! Yes!" as I read it.
It's truly great. I just wish I could convince my husband and my brother that This is the Truth. Very odd to be in a family of MEN who oppose the way I see things. I don't get it. I do love them anyway. But it could get dicey in the the weeks to come.

I agree with my friend, Tonya! Fortunately, my family is like me politically with a few exceptions.My husband and I can't rationally discuss the death penalty because I end up yelling. Our older daughter is a very liberal green and I am not very good at recycling. (OK, I'm lazy!) My dad is probably a bit more liberal than I am; the only thing we can't really discuss is Israel. I admire people who can discuss issues intelligently and rationally and so many right-wing people just cannot do that. (get their "reality" from Fox and right-wing ideologues)I'm ashamed that I just can't talk about the death penalty with anyone who is pro--my neck gets all red and I spout words like the girl from the Exorcist!
