Nothing personal - would have much preferred that you were voting for "change" rather than hoping for it - I'm sure it's just me, but hoping seems just a skosh pessimistic.

I have one vote. I "hope" others vote against Obama in Nov. A bit picky, aren't you?

I voted Santorum. Will hold my nose and vote for Romey in the general. Wrestling with the Mormon thing a bit.

We smokum peace pipe! Friends? BTW, family has been a GM dealer since 1937. Lost Pontiac. Last several years have been difficult.

Voted no for Sunday sales and no on SPLOST.

North Augusta?

I would strongly urge caution and restraint, my friend, with your use of "mock Indian" phrases. There are those among us who might find your use of the humorous characterization of the Native American dialect to be off putting and insensitive borderline hate speech in league with Limbaugh.

Yeah, never know when some lib like me is ready to punce, eh?

I will say this is a fairly indecisive and inconclusive primary so far. Kind of bleh. For my money, '08 democratic campaign was interesting because of two more or less clear heavyweights.

I'm no fan of Hillary but I think she is less of an ideologue than Obama...I imagine the deficit would be a little smaller...there would be no Obamacare/Hillarycare...and the country would not be quite as divided, etc...I may be splitting hairs but I would be interested to hear other responses to that hypothetical question.

JOE, I don't think you're a full-fledged lib.

sigh...i know most of you folks have not been around quite as long as i....and john dont forget him

but the sad fact is that while hillary was first lady there were way too many nut jobs who subscribed to theories she murdered vince foster for any number of lurid reasons.

when bush was president some people ragged on laura bush for any number of things, including the auto accident in which she was driving, and a friend was killed

now many mock mrs obama for advocating people exercise & eat better. you can hate her politics, you can hate her husbands politics, but when people get all riled up about the govt trying to make us do this or that & invoke the first lady, its stupid....its just advice....if you dont like it go sit on the couch and eat some pork rinds.

i dont know why i needed to rant on first ladies, but overall they have been a decent lot. if the right is disturbed about hillary or michelle, they shouldve had to deal with eleanor roosevelt. she would have driven you mad

Here's a quote from one of her organizations...
"Elected officials offer the unique ability to spur action and bring communities together in solving the obesity challenge. Mayors and municipal officials are encouraged to adopt a long-term, sustainable, and holistic approach to fighting childhood obesity. Let’s Move! recognizes that every city is different, and every town will require its own distinct approach to the issue."

I have no problem with the First Lady suggesting to parents that kids should eat healthy and be more active but it is quite obvious that she does not stop there. Translation of the above quote...strongarm local officials to duplicate efforts of Bloomberg, etc..If the liberals had no track record on desiring to regulate what we eat, what restaurants can sell, portion sizes, salt bans, and school lunch private investigators I don't think people would be so wary. Bottom line is we have the freedom to be skinny, fat, out of shape, in shape...it's our individual choice.
