17. Nope not this again truth of the matter

Tue Oct 9, 2012, 01:26 PM

Oct 2012

Look I have no problem with anyone who has a different view point then me. We could agree to disagree on any subject and I would be fine. I'm not here to armstrong a person into believing one thing. I'm here to speak from the heart. I actually have something at risk if Obama loses because of what has happen in my life this election has a great meaning to me. I'm one of those effected by pre-existing condition.

The problem I have is you play the victim every time. Can't you say something nice about the President. Come on I dare you to say something nice. Forget the Debate that changes thursday it's old news. Say something nice that the President has done I think it will help you or are you going to play the victim the whole way through thursday debate then declare that debate a fail before it even finishes?
