Who is the terrorist:

One who utilizes the systematic use of violence and intimidation to achieve political objectives.

Kind of like dropping bombs on civilians in Viet Nam.

Viewing from well outside the battle lines as an observer. I find I must agree with mush of what you say about the tactics and ploys that seem to be being used in you’re current election.

But I fear its deeper than you can see from such a close vantage point.

Even here in Australia we have heard the savage attacks on members of both parties. I cant recall an American election where the rest of the world has seen such bitterness displayed by both ends of the political spectrum. The vilification seems endemic, and deeply divisive.

I hope that at the end everyone can step back and realize you are one nation. That you can be, and should joined by more than that which divides you.

The abortion issue is controversial for a reason, not the least of which is the fact that the rhetoric confuses the issue on both sides. Obama is against the procedure of "partial birth" abortion, but he is for appropriate reproductive education, birth control, and the right of a woman to choose. Please note that the procedure of "partial birth" is a separate issue from that of late term abortions per se. I was against the same bill, because it had no provision for the health of the woman and women matter too. I've written on this issue before, and I suspect we have more in common here than you would think. Abortion is an important issue, but frankly, there are bigger ones right now.

Hi Heidi, After watching all of the presidential debates, as well as those between VP candidates Biden and Palin, as well as doing a ton of reading on my own, I will not be voting for Barack Obama. It's very difficult to decipher who is telling the truth and who is lying about their voting records in the past and what they "promise" to do in the future, especially since so many news media channels and stations lean one way or the other. Is there really any neutral news media out there? I'm not so sure. I personally believe there is a lot of misleading statements, outright lies and dodging questions being tossed around to confuse voters on purpose. The candidates position on partial birth abortions/late term abortions is an important one for me in my decision of who to vote for and who not to vote for. McCain-Palin get my vote.
