It is just unfortunate that a lot of the disrespect comes from not just the right, but from some Dems and people supporting O/B's reelection bid.

The Senator has not done anything to Obama or Biden. Just saying that if your a Democrat whose last name isn't Clinton, Obama, Biden, or even Kennedy, it is hard for people to take notice. Case in point Uncle Ted's memorial service. The most speech anticipations were for Biden and McCain. Till this day folks aren't even aware of Kerry's close relationship with Kennedy.

Not or never pulling for anyone to fail, just making an observation because a lot of things have changed since 08, technology and expressing one's self is one of them. People like the Senator should be respected, not degraded for trying to help turn the country and the world around.

Caught a little bit of Obama's rally and he is doing an excellent job of waking people up. He and all Dems need to keep the heat on the GOP. So far, they are doing good.

Your thoughts are excellent. Said enough in this thread, so will leave so I won't cause anymore trouble.

Peace.
