Herb,
Once again you label someone without knowing anything about them. If  someone 
even says anything that you find contrary to your beliefs, you label  them a 
liberal. I am sorry that you walk through life with blinders on. There is  a 
whole world out there to experience.
Now that today is the election day, I for one would hope that the political  
chit chat would slow down a bit, but that's just wishful thinking.  If  Obama 
wins, the right wing republicans will stop at nothing to bash him for the  
next four years. If McCain wins it will be four more years of bashing him. As I  
see it, nobody is going to win. Same crap, different day and non of it amounts 
 to anything anyway.
 
Rummy

I don't  blame you a bit. If I were a left-wing liberal, I'd want the 
same thing.  Being of the opposite persuasion, I'm hoping she's around a 
while to bring  some real change.
