Politicians seem more interested in keeping each other down than trying to work together and pull everyone up. I have never affiliated myself with one party but I definitely lean more liberal. However, I am open-minded enough to vote for the candidate that I think will do the best job and not just along party lines.

For this reason, I don't include posts about this topic. I also steer clear of blogs where this is an prevalent topic. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, just don't foist yours on everyone else. Glad for the update on Alex :-)Beatrice P.

I always think my view should be mine alone since, as the saying goes, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. If I made a wrong choice then it is something i have to live with. I can't cope with some of the uproars that go on here.
