You state that "your views on the William Ayers association with Obama is poor judgment on McCain’s part is not valid." Why do you think it is not valid? Can you explain what you mean here? Do you think that the facts in the original post are not correct or do you think my conclusion that it is unfair to criticize either candidate for being guilty by association is not valid? If so, why? You are encouraged to express your opinion here, even if you disagree, but it would be helpful to hear why you disagree and have you back it up with a logical argument. Likewise, what specifically do you object to in Obama's dealings with Tony Rezko? What do you think was improper on his part? Also, you say that you think that my views side with the democratic liberals on most items. Which views? As I've stated in many places on this site, I'm a libertarian, so in some cases I will agree with some views that the Democrats hold, some views that the Republicans hold, and some that neither party holds. For example, I'm against any government interference in the free market, against subsidies to any business or individual, believe in free trade, oppose any government benefits for illegal aliens, believe in workfare as opposed to welfare, believe in the right to own a gun, am against health care reform (as proposed by either party), believe that social security needs to be overhauled and younger workers given the right to opt out, believe in a balanced budget, believe in the absolute lowest level of taxation for all citizens, and believe that now that we are in Iraq we need to stay there until we've given the people there every opportunity to have a safe and stable country. Overall, I believe in a very limited role for the government in our lives and that the federal government should be strictly limited to the powers set forth in the Constitution. I would suspect that few liberal democrats would agree with me on most, if any, of these issues. Therefore, without further evidence on your part, I must challenge your assertion that I mostly side with the liberal democrats. I look forward to continuing our discussion here. Herb,

I am of the opinion that your views on the William Ayers association with Obama is poor judgment on McCain's part is not valid. I feel Obama should not have been associated with him. I also feel his dealings with Rezko was improper. Your views on freedomminute seems to side with the democratic liberals on most items. with that being said keep up the good work of expressing your feelings. Jay.
