You’re welcome and thank you, too.

I don’t know enough about Romney and nothing about Hunter to even voice an opinion. I like reading here because I’ve learned quite a bit, read articles I never would have seen, etc. I know just enough about boards/posting/the internet to know it’s dangerous but there’s a tiny part of me that still believes it’s not all bad (re disagreeable posters, unpleasant people, etc.). Hell, I have a personal stalker (kills me to even admit it, sorta takes the wind out of my toughness) and it carried over into my real life because I was a stupid adult that knew nothing about the internet and its dangers. It’s something that will hang over my head my entire life and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it. It’s like the terrorists (not as severe of course, just making a comparison to the helplessness, and I hate helplessness). I reacted and got screwed. I trusted and got screwed and it’s all my fault. I never imagined that an online stalker would carry over into my real life and threaten, or what I know in my gut to be a real threat, so I try not to tick anyone off. It’s something that will hang over my head for the rest of my life so they won. Again, per your comment about aligning with the rudy or whomever supporters, and again, I only have good thoughts about this site so far but I’ve read a few threads that do get personal. It’s something I will never understand. I’m probably a moron for continually posting when I have to be extra careful since I put my family in danger by my stupidity - fortunately, I own a gun and know how to use it. It sucks not knowing one’s enemy and though I compare it to what our world is like now, I know my danger is minor compared to what our troops face daily.

Off the tangent now :), I do equate his words and actions as real leadership. Despite what I feel about his stand on gun control (just found out because of here) and his abortion stand. Personally, I don’t understand how anyone could support abortion/murder but that’s just me. I don’t see what he did during 9-11 as just feeling. He acted. He lead. Bush said a lot of words, from the heart and mind imo and acted on them and still does. Bush lead this country during 9-11 and afterward. He’s leading it now but the feel good sentiment of half the country left his side. I’m still on his side. I’m still on Rudy’s side when it comes to 9-11 and his ability as mayor of NYC. His leadship and actions as mayor and during 9-11 is something I can’t argue with. I hate his abortion opinion but I hate what a lot of people think and feel about it. I hate his gun control (my opinion, gun control only works on those that follow the law anyway and means nothing to criminals).

He was a true leader during 9-11 because he motivated (me anyway)and spoke about not surrendering, he was there in the World Trade Center as chaos ensued as he should have been as the Mayor. He attended all those funerals and it didn’t come off to me as just a publicity shot like so many in politics during that time. None of this means I’ll vote for him in the primary. Just like the guts of it all comes out during the ads with all of them and their facade crumples, the debates and what they respond to on the spot shows the cracks, we’ll see it about all of them or what the MSM wants us to see.

Like my mom always said, and moms are always right - lol, think with your head, feel with your heart, but go with your gut.

I’m not in tune with any of the repub candidates yet. I’m sure one will stick out or hit me eventually, or at least I hope one does. I need to know more about all of them. I know way too much about the dem frontrunners and possible candidates and none are to my liking at all.
