Hey it's cool if you say you are proud to be a liberal. That is your choice. I am proud to be a Conservative.
I doubt the outcome of any debate will change anybodys mind about their candidate anyway. For example, even if Obama has destroyed McCain in this debate, which he didn't, it still wouldn't come close to changing my mind about Obama. I would still totally disagree with his views on abortion, foreign policy, the economy, illegal immigration and personal freedoms. Although McCain is not a 'true' Conservative in my opinion, he is the best choice of the two (in my opinion) that I have to pick from. Fred Thompson was actually my choice, but hey, you can't win em all right?
Hopefully, who ever does win the election next month base his decision on what the country needs and not what his constituents want from him. I suppose that is all we can hope for right?
