As a Republican for most of my adult life I have heard some pretty crule and hartless things be said by people I have respected, some being fellow Republicans and some being Hilary Democrats. I must say that seeing the country torn apart by the actions and small minded screamers of these so-called majority, you think that they would have learned by the history they themselves help create, both good and bad. JFK, RFK, Vietnam, Martin Luther King, Watergate, etc. I am ashamed. In my opinion I do belive that the newly awakened youth of this country will be the one's that take this election by storm. There are many things I like about both canidates and it is the 1st time I have ever considered voting for a Democratic front runner. That is a feat in itself. Change is good, and in fact many things have happened over the last several years that have pushed this need for some change. Bad decisions, untruthfulness by our officials, financial irresponsibility etc. What does not change for everyone is our patriotism! We all love this country, and want the best for it. We love our WWII vets for what they went though for us and the world as well as our soldiers in the Iraq and the middle east. What we should not do is anything that diminishes their sacrafices, or lessens the respect we have for them, by any means. The one thing I will say is that as long as Obama ad McCain continue to run thier campaigns with some dignity, I for one will have a hard time choosing. But once one of them starts the personal attacks on family, patriotisim, or faith, in my mind that one will loose my vote. Both of them have issues and stands that I belive in, and both of them have things I don't like. I can compromise on some, and some I can not, but one think I will not compromise on is character and integrity. So far, they have both shown alot of both. Your atricle was very well written, and I can't agree with you more. Thanks! My faith in the younger generation has just been raised another notch.

]]> Comment on Cassidy & Assoc. – Buying YOUR Politicians by crazyamerica http://crazyamerica.wordpress.com/2008/08/22/cassidy-assoc-buying-your-politicians/#comment-4 crazyamerica Fri, 22 Aug 2008 19:34:40 +0000 http://crazyamerica.wordpress.com/?p=11#comment-4 Fair enough...my intention in this blog was not to simply smear Rambus, there are always two sides to every story and I encourage people to check out the website for themselves as I did. I also do not intend to say that every buisness partnership with Cassidy & Assoc. is one of underhanded politics, but rather to outline the broader issue of lobbyists in Washington. For those really concerned, I have merely provided a few refrences, enabling you to decide for yourself.
