That would be extremely ignorant of people to do. It saddens me that your daughter was the target of horrible comments-- what people don't realize when they're doing that is that they, too, are participating in prejudice behavior. We need to teach our children that whatever way they vote, it should indeed be based in values and character-- not prejudice. Neither candidate would be impressed with Gayle Quinnell-- she does not represent the norm on either side-- thank goodness. Thanks for dropping by- please come again- Dr. Robyn Hello Joy-

We need to teach our children that whatever way they vote, it should indeed be based in values and character– not prejudice. Neither candidate would be impressed with Gayle Quinnell– she does not represent the norm on either side– thank goodness.

Let's all remember that. My daughter has worn her McCain/Palin pin to school and has horrible comments hurled out her. She's been called racist and other things. I can't imagine where these 12 and 13 year old kids are getting that. I think it is mainly from the media that sensationalizes EVERYTHING and some from their ignorant parents. It's very sad. We teach our children that we vote on values and the direction we want to see this country go. Not based on anyone's skin color.

Yes, I had the same reaction. It's very frustrating to see people get up on a soap box in front of the world and say things that are just plain wrong. Thanks so much for your support and your kind words! I'll be glad to welcome your friends over here! Dr. Robyn Hello Elizabeth!
