The first US Pres election I could vote for, and not only I but SJ herself were barred from voting for her in Virginia, as we faced the dismal choice of Mondale, Reagan and LaRouche. Faint echo of the New Deal, under those circumstances, won my vote.Todd Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01815516018079824802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-51945743098131940252008-11-13T04:10:00.000-05:002008-11-13T04:10:00.000-05:00Course it's all history now - good luck to Obama a...Course it's all history now - good luck to Obama and the USA.Gary Dobbs/Jack Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935686140719743351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8525415828746712027.post-40368208824753009942008-11-05T17:36:00.000-05:002008-11-05T17:36:00.000-05:00So... bad parental relations with authority figure...So... bad parental relations with authority figures lead to over-achievers (or a sort)? I can buy that.<BR/><BR/>No one fit my wishes as a candidate, but we radicals tend to not care about things like that. Just about anything was going to be better than the criminals currently in place.<BR/><BR/>Mistrust of military experience in the midst of fighting on at least two fronts seems part of our suicidal nature as a nation (maybe John Q Adams was right), but what the hell. Who knows?<BR/><BR/>I secretly hope Obama is a socialist, but I think it's unlikely. And anyway, he's got a recalcitrant congress to deal with who are far too used to sidling up to the trough for their feed.C.
