I remember almost losing friends over the Iraq war; they called me an un-American traitor for not supporting it. Not just friends but bosses, co-workers, and total strangers. It was awful. Now, the same weirdness in a different form: after years of searching out fellow Democrats for support, I find myself on the verge of fighting with them if they are Obots, and we just avoid political discussions (much as I had to do with my Republican friends). My mother is a devoted O-bot, and we can't discuss politics anymore, which used to be one of our favorite things, one of the ways we bonded as we are both political junkies and she is usually the smartest person I know when it comes to politics...but she drank deep of the Kool-Aid and there is no going back. On the plus side, my Republican friends are delighted (albeit stunned) that I don't support the O, and my Republican bf and I can finally (after years!) discuss politics, but I have to stop them when they start bashing all Democrats and "libruls," so who knows how this will all turn out??? It's too weird. Politics can be so emotionally divisive. I remember almost losing friends over the Iraq war; they called me an un-American traitor for not supporting it.

Although I'm a liberal Independent, not a Republican, I have admired Cindy McCain's work for years. I voted for McCain in the SC Primary 2000 (I'm from Charleston too Rev. Amy) but before doing so had researched the records of John and Cindy and was highly impressed with both. The McCain's give a huge percentage of their annual income to charitable causes. For me,the old adage "Put your money where your mouth is" means a lot - it truly speaks of one's character. It is profoundly telling that the Obamas gave LESS THAN 1% of their money to charity prior to setting things up to run for President. As I've said before on this site - it isn't about individual dollars - it's about percentage...the bible teaches that quite clearly whether one is Christian or not. When I watched the HORRENDOUS clips from "The View" and how those witches treated John and Cindy, I couldn't help but write that show and give them a blistering.

When half the population lives in greater fear NOW than they did just five years ago, it's pretty safe to say that job of "liberating" didn't go off so well after all.)
