OK, we have about 5 debates going on about the presidential elections, and two things are really coming out of it all:

One: We have some sharp divisions in this group as far as opinions go.

Two: On November 4th, either McCain or Obama will be elected president.

My question: With the various viewpoints, what will we do.

To those on the right (middle right, far right, etc) - what will you do if Barack Obama becomes president?

To those on the left (middle left, far left, etc) - what will you do if John McCain becomes president?

To all: What can we do to gain some unity in our country.

Note that, no matter what, there will be politicians, judges, reporters, bloggers, etc., who will make waves long after the election (saying this, people are still ranting about the 2000 elections).

But it is up to the individuals at the grass roots to make unity. So the question: How can we get there?

Wow! A lot happened while I was gone! Can I get in on that red-pen party? I want a big, thick sharpie.

Oh hell yeah! I thought you were bringing the beers!

Hmmm. I don't drink beer. Not only can't I stand the taste, but it's not worth the calories. I'd rather have chocolate. Am I still invited? Everyone else can drink beer and I'll just use the big red pen on behalf of all involved [bwg].

Yeah, I forgot that beers and other carbonated drinks will probably be a big no-no for me very soon anyway. As I think it is for bandsters in general.

Chocolate is fantastic! Or if you want to stay away from the whole calorie thing, bring the male stripper. :cursing:

Ahhh, no can do. My wonderful husband only strips for me :rolleyes2:. {sigh} I can bring some diet root beer and low-fat ice cream and make root beer floats. Does that work?

I would offer to bring some of my liberal friends, but . . . I don't have any.

Who's Lulu? If she's fun, that's all that matters. And it wouldn't be anything to anything... no politics involved. Just straight thinking and slashing stupid spending. That pretty much spans any side. :rolleyes2:

Awww, fair 'nuff. Wouldn't really know what to do with a male stripper anyway. Just never seen one. It's like Bigfoot -- I HEAR they exist, but I have yet to experience it myself. :hurray:

I can do the low-fat/diet root beer float! Sounds wonderful! Ever had a Skinny Cow? They're FANTASTIC!

I suspect the reverse is also true. I hear a lot of them are gay :rolleyes2:

Yeah, I'd be a lot more successful with my weight loss if I stayed away from chocolate, ice cream, and Skinny Cows.

Luluc - at goal, on LBT, liberal.

Gadget - you don't have any liberal friends? I'm shocked!! :rolleyes2: I actually have friends on both side of the aisle. A friend of mine tries her best to change my voting mind but it just hasn't happened.

Yeah, I dunno. Lulu makes me think of Victoria Beckham. :rolleyes2:

I have liberal friends. I think. Wait, I'm sure of it. One... I think. :hurray:

I have liberal acquaintances and family members, but when I'm choosing who I want to spend my precious spare time with, I don't choose to hang out with liberals. I'd tell you why, but you'd be offended.

tad late to the comparisson, shouldn't have cut all my hair SNT, hun???

change of avtr time....

VB hates food * exercise - i dig both.

i have EVERY political spectrum in my set of family / friends - be boring otherwise; not much can change my mind - but i enjoy my MIL trying.

For me, other than message boards, I don't talk politics with anybody. They could be any form or fashion and I wouldn't really know or care.

My boss, I know, is liberal, and I only know this because she came bounding in and singing about how she just voted for Obama. :rolleyes2: She has tried to pull me into conversations about who I will vote for, and I just won't go there.
