You both have certainly demonstrated your knowledge and verboseness on a wide range of political issues surrounding this upcoming Presidential race. I appreciate many of the points of view that you both have expressed and agree with some and disagree with others, and I have tried to explain my opinions. We are all obviously very interested in the outcome of this Presidential election, but come on... really now. I have been called O.C. (primarily by my wife), but you guys are taking the cake on this... As my teenage neice would say: "get a life...."
Do you really think you are going to change anyone's mind here?
I really tend to doubt it. I dare say that most of us have already made up our minds of who we are going to vote for and why...
I wish I had the free time that you two apparently have to spend on researching, articulating and typing to generate this obsessive, adnauseam posting on obscure things that probably don't have a real bearing on the important issues that are most important to most of the voters. I guess you just like to "stir up the pot" and see what happens. That can be interesting for awhile but gets old very quickly.
It is almost as if you are trying to win an argument that cannot and will not be won here in this format. Certainly not in a forum comprised of BMW owner's and aficionados. Just cast your vote on Nov. 4th and wait with the rest of us to see what the results are.
I would hope that even though the Republican and Democrat Presidential campaigns are both now going to an even lower/dirtier level on their television and mailer ad campaigns for the last 4 weeks of the campaign, that it will not be a parallel situation in this forum. I'd like to think that we are all respectful of each other, so as to not turn our posts into a silly WWF-like contact sport remarks that degrades into name-calling sarcasm and cynicism, let alone down-right misleading statements or lies. If that is your intention or idea of fun then you are missing my point entirely.
So, on behalf of anyone and everyone else in this forum who shares my sentiments, I respectfully request that you guys "lighten up", take a breath and go for a long drive in your BMW (I assume you both have BMW's.....?), out in the fresh air with some nice pleasant scenery, away from your computer and Internet. It is amazing what it will do for your perspective and tolerance of other people's opinions. Remember, we may not agree on many things but it does get a bit tiresome to listen to (or read), opinions that evolve into obsessive and unyielding rants.
My thoughts and opinion,

Thanks for your thoughts and I appreciate your concern for my well being. I assure you life is good and I'm quite the jovial guy living life to its fullest. I work out every day, I have hobbies like high fidelity music, oil painting, piano and photography.I keep up on the issues. I have a wonderful family consisting of a wife I've been with since we were 15 years old which is 27 years to date. We have a wonderful 2 year old as seen in my avatar. I have a wonderful job in the medical sales field which pays me enough commission to afford a very flexible work schedule.
My issue with Ayres has to do with his background and his very radical ideology. He likes Obama and even announced his campaign coming out party in his home. The foundation he has provided millions to push his radical agenda on school kids which Obama helped organize and run. Ayres has no apologies for his past and in fact still holds the same radical beliefs. Instead of working with bombs he now works with dollars but his agenda has not changed. Obama was very much a part of his activities as seen in his participation in Ayres foundation.
Now Obama wants to be the President of the United States and does not want anyone to know about or talk about his past and present associations. Look at his patterns not just Ayres. Rev. Wright and other show who Obama chooses to associate with and though he is one of the most Liberal Senators in his short time his history revels more about his radical beliefs. He's been able to move to the Left to get elected but I fear his real agenda will ultimately harm America.
If you and others feel comfortable ignoring this side of Obama then go ahead. Eric does not seem to care that Ayres used bombs because he believes you should be able to do anything illegal or not to change the direction of America. I'm betting that Eric is in the minority. Those of you who say Ayres and Wright don't matter make me worry even more.
Good day...I'm off to do a couple of hours worth of work and then do my part to stimulate the economy by shopping for some new toys.
