I just wanted to Introduce myself to the Kos family. I have been a long time reader.
I will admit at one time I would have called myself conservative, but then I grew up and moved away from home and went to college. Now I strongly independent, but I have backed Obama for president since his 2004 speech. I just saw that he could be the one to finally send the endly partisan fighting which has plagued this country. I will admit I didn't like the Clinton presidency, nor have I liked the Bush presidency (he was WAY worse).
My overall mindset is to follow what I believe at heart is the right thing to do whether it is sometimes progressive, moderate, or conservative (NEVER NEO-Con, I just see it as the right thing to do. I am complex and really don't fit under one category anymore, which is fun.
My message: Partisan politics need to end NOW, stop the hate at each other from both sides. I don't care who started, I just want to end it for the good of the country. There are good Dems and bad Dems, but there are good Republicans and bad Republicans. Please do not pick someone just for the D or the R, do research to be an informed voters.
I feel this country is at a pivotal time and I can't wait for someone else to fight for it. Barack Obama is who helped give me a voice and who to fight for. I will not be part of the ‘Silent Majority’, I must fight for what I believe in.
P.S. I hate how the media will not call McCain out on anything, even when is more than fair to do so. Media stop protecting him.
Thank you Keith Olberman for being the real news on TV.
