. I want us to learn how to behave respectfully to each other. I want us to be able to put aside all this hatred and start coming up with solutions to fix this mess we are in.

The radically off-balance state of the country seems to be putting everyone in a foul mood.

I'd like to put an Obama sticker on my car but I'm afraid someone would key it. I did have a sign in my yard but someone stole it. Ah well, it's almost over and for once I do think the good guys are going to win.

You end it by saying the "good guys" are going to win. As you are an Obama supporter, one must assume that the Dems are the "good guys" - thus, McCain supporters are the "bad guys".

Assuming that people who disagree with you are bad is the problem. No matter who wins, how are we ever going to come together with that attitude?

I see your point and I will concede it was an "off the cuff" type of remark.

But I do believe Bush and Cheney really are "the bad guys" and by that, I think these two men in particular are evil. Not just bad at their jobs but evil on a personal level. Run over kittens with a lawn mower evil, IMO.

I am not convinced McCain is "evil" in the same sense. While I don't agree with his current politics, I did agree with a good bit of what he was saying when he campaigned for the nomination in 2000 or 2004 (can't recall right now). Back when he still supported a woman's right to choose and was not spouting off about changing the US Constitution to ban abortion.

I do believe with all of my heart that if Obama wins; very few McCain supporters will be willing to come together. Would that be the case if McCain won? I don't know. People are pretty pissed off and unfortunately for McCain the GOP has had almost all of the power the last 8 years. I think it is easy for most people to blame him by association. Which is obviously not fair but I think it is almost impossible for McCain to overcome that and he had an uphill climb from day 1 because of it.

Should I apologize? I have such a bad headache again today I can't tell if I've offended you. I hope not, it's never my intention when I respond to your posts.

I am just so tired of all of this. I need it to be over.
