I actually voted for Hillary Clinton in the primary. However, McCain will not get my vote. (I suppose McCain probably wouldn't get my vote anyway, seeing that I live in Oregon) I can't see how voting for McCain because of Palin is anything like if I voted for Hillary. Hillary and Palin are polar opposites. Anyone who votes for Palin because Hillary didn't make it is shooting themselves in the foot.

Futuredrandwife: as a side note, I always took your "lol" to mean that it was a joke. I don't want there to be any hard feelings. Sometimes I, other people I know (friends, relatives) get so wrapped up in politics that I forget there is so much more to each of us than who we support politically. I feel like at the end of the day we all basically want the same things: a healthy family, a happy life, a good income, a feeling of accomplishment, a healthy earth, a long life, and contentment....or at least those are the things I want. :grouphug:

KTBear: I'm glad you realized my "lol" was just my being silly!! I of course do not feel I am "better" because I consider myself pretty middle of the road. Most of my family is conservative, while most of my friends are liberal, so I have a great deal of varying beliefs surrounding me and it keeps me well educated on both sides, and allows me to see all issues from various points. I agree with you 100% that most people want those same things that you mentioned. I want the exact same things, and I, too, do not want there to be any hard feelings. I have been coming to this site for a long time in order to chat with well-meaning gals and to get some wonderful words of advice. I would never want that to change. :grouphug:
