Trust me I have more than a little sand :) -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 29, 2010 6:54 PM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Surprise, Surprise. Tea Party leaders prove to be dangerous AND stupid
Yeah, I would not let such a past automatically invalidate my vote for someone. What we've been through is part of who we are. Someone with a past that rocks no boats is not necessarily someone I would trust with my vote. You need a little sand to make a pearl. At this point, I am willing to even vote for someone I don't agree with politically, if I can respect the person and their integrity and honor.
