I'm an Obama supporter. I've given up trying to read your posts, though, as the lack of capitalization makes it near impossible with such a long piece. It's a shame, because you write well and have bothered to put this out here, but grammar was invented for a reason.
to comment on something you say you didn't read. as you've no doubt learned by now, i'm not going to alter a 20+ year "style" just because a few people don't like it. but i certainly appreciate that you care enough about my writing to criticize it even though you didn't read it! that's a real honor!!!
I tend to be a grammar fiend, but I love your style!
Keep up the writing and the hard work.
For example.. Obama is lying about his healthcare plan, which will not help around 20% of Americans.. the sickest Americans - He's now, I understand, lying about this, when even his senior economic advisor has admitted that he wont be able to cover those with pre-existing conditions - instead he forces them to buy insurance on the open market, the same situation that exists now, with the only addition that insurance companies will have to compute a price for everybody. Lets say you have diabetes and they say "we will insure you for $3000 a month" and you make $3000 a month.
How affordable is health insurance now? Hillary will CHANGE that situation by using the combined buying power and bargaining power of millions of people, both sick AND healthy.
And then he goes out and lies, trying to cover this up.
feel free to document that obama's health care plan doesn't help 20% of americans or that the 20% (as you claim) would be the sickest americans.
since, last i heard, hillary had no intention of enacting her health care plan until the seventh year of her hypothetical administration -- iow, she has no intention of enacting health care. it's a pretty rhetorical device designed to fool people...
i can't be fooled again.
Oh man. I read the first part before it became difficult to plough through the dense text. I do like your writing, although not your sarcastic response to a well meaning comment. If the style means more to you than getting your message out, go for it. I was actually trying to be helpful, but obviously you know exactly what you are doing, so best of luck.
but thanks for interpreting it that way. i understood you were trying to be helpful (again), and i recalled telling you previously (iirc) that this is my style and it's ok if you don't read it. i was actually shocked that you read it after the last exchange. if you have trouble reading this style, you should avoid my diaries. that is ok...
Well, okay. I will say that as a representative for your chosen candidate (mine as well) you could do better than to snipe at people like you just did. It makes me wonder about his supporters, and I love the guy.
Oh, I was not criticizing your writing, I did plough through enough of it to know I would like to have completed reading the article. It is just too difficult to get through that sea of dense type. You clearly put a lot into this piece and it seemed a shame.
then i do not know what criticism looks like. i didn't think it was that difficult -- i didn't put that much time into writing it, because i am actually doing real work here. others recognize that my style is, well, my style. it's not rocket science...
I don't support Obama but I give you credit for sticking to your stylistic choice. I don't think it ruins your writing at all. It was easy to read.
