Thanks to my friend, Lana, I was able to attend the first fall presidential debate in Durham, NH. It was a gift from her family to me for my citizenship. (Thanks!) It was a totally awesome experience! We didn't get to meet any of the candidates like we wanted, but the food was delicious :-) And the dessert kept calling us back! Heh.. The funnest at

As a libertarian socialist, or perhaps a socialist libertarian, this upcoming election really has me at a loss. If you want family values and the importance of religion tempered with logic/reason and the lack of overbearing pushiness, look at Dem contender Edwards. He's not in a great position to win, but I'm not sure I really like anyone who is

I am, what we here in New Hampshire call, INDEPENDENT. We vote with our hearts and not with a party :-) I am proudly neither Republican nor Democrat.

Right now, I'm voting based on the issue of the Iraq war. It's the most fore-front issue right now. It's the issue that no matter who's the president, s/he will effect. And I think it's a mistake to run out of Iraq.

When it comes to the other issues, I disagree with 90% of what the GOP has to say. I disagree with 100% on the topic of Gay Marriage. However, I agree with 75% of their opinion on Fiscal responsibility. I want privatization on Social Security. I am pro-life. I think murder should only be a choice when it's self-defense. I agree that the government shouldn't control our lives. But I think morality should be a serious issue.

Anyway.. I never thought I'd vote Republican either.. but I'm just glad to be voting!! :-)

I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to acuse you of "belonging" to a particular party. And I hope you don't mind if I wax political
