There are many forums where that type of thing would be appropriate. This is not one of them.

Maybe my initial reaction was too harsh, it's just that I'm shocked that my previous post was deemed offensive by someone so quickly. What offended you? My brief statement of support for Obama (most likely) or the last 3 paragraphs and significantly more time spent talking about the importance of educating the electorate and encouraging them to make their own decisions? It's not like we live in a country ruled by Philosopher Kings.

By the way, I'm not the only person to briefly advocate for a particular candidate. Read the last bit of post #3 in this thread.
