[Vision2020] A Plea to Saundra Lund

Mon Oct 27 15:03:03 PDT 2008

Hi Sunil,

I agree with you, however . . . 

If Roger thinks an acceptable distinction is adulthood vs childhood
associations, then he should rightly start discussing McCain's unsavory
and/or unethical adult associations.  Lord knows there's enough there to
keep us all busy for a very long time  J

And, perhaps we should all be discussing McCain's adult behavior no matter
how long ago it was.  Given his adult age, there's a heck of a lot there
McCain would rather not have dug up . . . again.

Of course, I prefer to focus on issues, but if that's the game Roger wants
to play, then I'm sure we can trust that he'll start in on McCain.

Otherwise, his complaints about Obama's adult associations are empty.

nothing.

I disagree completely, Roger.  It's malarkey to make an issue out of it now,
given that Obama's association with Ayers is completely removed from the
activities that lead to people labeling Ayers a 'terrorist.'  

If they were planning the present-day bombing of buildings, then it would be
an issue.
