why do i feel the way i do?

had a discussion with a friend about politics, mostly Republican/Democrat, and it got in depth.

==================================
a discussion with a good friend led to the following
------------------

Obama has sponsored: the Ethics Reform Bill, Anti-Proliferation Acts for Nuclear Weapons, amendments to the US Patriot Act .... here, you can read for yourself: http://blueollie.wordpress.com/2008/03/01/what-has-obama-really-done-in-the-us-senate/

even so, as a Democrat i'd suppose he would vote along the Democratic lines. and its not about what he has done, its about styles of leadership, allegiances, priorities, and personal qualities. He's the anti-Bush. If there was a symbol for Democratic leadership to go against the past 8 years of horendous policies, both foreign and domestic, it would be someone that has the balls to challenge corporate lobbyists and instigate a new era of government reform and accountability; which is precisely what the Reform Bill of 2006 is about.
keep in mind, sir, that this is the only political candidate that is against the war in Iraq, obviously the most apparent foreign policy blunder of the past 60 years.

no worries, my good friend. to each his own, but if the thoughts provoke it than how can they not change it?

two quotes for you, sir, to end the evening:

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." -- Voltaire

"Those who would sacrifice essential liberties for a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
--- Benjamin Franklin
