I am honestly interested in your response to some of my contentions.

I want to commend you on your ability to write. I read where you said it is your aspiration and it shows. I’m sure it is equally obvious that writing is not my forte’. My sentence structure and punctuation have much to be desired, not to mention the short comings I exhibit with editing prior to submitting the post.

Don’t let that fool you however. I have full command of the issues. Politics is one of my passions. I do not get my news or opinions as most do, with 10 second sound bites from the evening news. I have paid close attention to the details, “behind the scenes” for many years. I know the specifics of the hypocrisy and ulterior motives of nearly all players.

Having read a fair share of your profile, I again would suggest that you are further “right” than you would probably like to admit. Don’t worry so much about the label. Liberals have succeeded in turning “right wing” into a dirty word. If it makes you feel any better consider the term, “conservative,” or perhaps “libertarian.” Either way, the substance and not the label is what matters. Wouldn’t you agree?

Undereducated is the perfect word. While not every inch of W VA is hillbilly heaven, it does rank 48th in terms of average income. 49 and 50 are in the deep south.

And of course his race is part of it and the lingering belief he’s a Muslim (as if it’s something bad) and often that’s perpetuated by the very people upset (as they should be) about Jeremiah Wright’s remarks. Last time I knew, Muslims don’t worship in churches with a rev.

I said at the start of this primary season that I never thought I’d see a black or woman president in my lifetime. I sure as hell hope I was wrong.

Thanks again.

My other half calls me a GOG—grumpy old git

You get that, too, Stoney? I don’t know about you, but I suspect you do, but I take it as a compliment.
