Hootie, my diary was not really meant (2.00 / 3)

as a "slam" against Obama -- I'm still supporting him. There are about 16,000 people on MyBO (most of them long-time Obama supporters) who are upset, too. And I admitted I was disappointed in Hillary's position on faith-based initiatives. I also said I couldn't be sure what she'd be doing right now, if she'd become the nominee. I was very critical of Obama, but I think legitimate criticism is a healthy thing. His FISA stance will not diminish my support.

I too an just as critical of Hillary's position on faith based initiatives.  I think it is wrong to give tax dollars to institutions that aren't taxed themselves.

Agreed 100%. (2.00 / 3)

Not a pleasant thing, if you ask me.

Re: Hootie, my diary was not really meant (none / 0)

Should we not give tax dollars and grants to private universities for clinical research?

Should we not publicly fund institutions like cancer societies, HIV/AIDS relief organizations and food banks/homeless shelters?

All these organizations don't receive tax money but many do obtain public funding....

No disrespect intended sricki...Many things people on this site raise as concerns are well-founded and deserve to be talked about.  I hope it can be done civilly and with an open-mind that's all...Oh and it would be nice to see us going after McCain and his positions as well.


Toot, thank you for raising such a terrific person...You done good and we will have you in our hearts.

I will go after McCain again soon, (2.00 / 3)

but tomorrow or Sunday I'll be writing a very positive pro-Obama diary. All my venting has made me feel much better. Certainly more optimistic.
