| A picture intended to defame. I can't believe it is authentic. Why would anyone have a picture taken doing such a thing, especially a politician? In my view, the picture is politically motivated. Don't believe it! |

| Joe, you're an artist and photographer. You must see that the picture is not a photograph.

| I'm sorry, Joe; but I have a friend who sends me that stuff all the time - whether it's words or pictures or videos - they are not real and they are not a reflection of anything but the fear and hate mongering natures of the senders. I don't care if it is "artistic license." The intent is a an emotional lie.
I do not believe that Governor Romney has anything special to offer the nation. However, I respect his desire to serve the country and gain the prestige that his wealth has not yet accomplished.
I do not believe that President Obama is the greatest president to serve this nation; I do believe he and his administration have worked diligently to bring this nation out of the economic disaster he inherited and has made significant gains. I respect him and believe that he will continue to work for the good of this nation.
I feel no need to damn Governor Romney or to set President Obama on a pedestal; I find any type of hateful literature, photography and video an insult to thinking people and food for the ignorant, prejudiced, biased and self-serving who will stop at nothing to win their own ends.
Unfortunately, hate mongering is popular even among those with an education and who exhibit some evidence of intelligence. Just as people rubber neck at accidents and are glued to the news and tv shows of blood, gore and mayhem, they are drawn to negativity in campaigns.
My interest is the improvement of the economy, the increase in health and quality of life for all citizens of the U.S. and my own ability to pay my bills and live a quality life. I believe that the current President Obama and his administration and the democratic party present policies, hopes and dreams that most closely match mine. I believe that Governor Romney's declared intent to destroy the Affordable Care Act is purely pandering and destructive to the health of the nation.
I also recognize that Governor Romnney appeals to those who wish to hang onto what they have and prevent anyone else from tapping into limited resources. Those who have, choose Romney to help them keep it and the rest of the population is simply not smart enough to inherit wealth and opportunity.. so they can flounder.
Even republican governors as in Michigan and Romney in Massachusettes have implemented programs supported by the Obama administration for which they damn Obama as the leader of the country. In Michigan, all the roads and bridges are under construction at once to put people to work. We all know about universal health care in Massachusetts.
Yet, vile pictures, etc. have to float on the Internet to appeal to those less informed to react with an emotional response instead of logic or an analysis of what is best for a healthy nation, politically, economically and quality of life. . |

I'm sorry I even brought this up ! I will disappear from

things to do in life than get invovled with politics..

| Joe, debate/discussion should not be taken personal. I agree with DK's post while at the same time I am often guilty of laughing at sarcasm that makes a point that I agree with. We can laugh at our mistakes and the mistakes of others. Taking life too seriously or being hurt by words is by choice.
I realize that I am not perfect and never shall be. I also realize that I offend people, sometimes intentionally, but more often unintentionally. I realize that I am sensitive - too sensitive and that words can hurt. I want the freedom to speak my mind. Trying to be politically correct so as not to offend is, in my view, dishonest.
Continue to say what you feel, Joe. If we don't like it, we'll say so, and that is honest. As Shakespeare said, "To thine own self be true." |

| Joe, I apologize for using your name. I am personally offended by the emails my friend sends me - not just your picture - and certainly do not mean to discredit you. I feel pretty strongly about the misrepresentations that abound on the Internet and are put forward as though true. I appreciate you - very much - you challenge my thinking and we often agree on ideas in spite of our many differences.
This forum would be a dull place without disagreement. I miss LC; she kept it hot. |
