You repeat the same silly piffle here over and over in a
variety of different ways but it all comes down to the same
thing, "American voters are stupid but if you guys actually
call them stupid they're gonna vote GOP, so take *that*,
neener, neener, neener."

The GOP has put up a crazy old warmonger who chose a category
five moron from the snake-handling wing of the Republican party
as his running mate and all you want to do is gloat because the
American voter is so goddamn stupid they'll probably get elected.

Why do you hate America so much ?

To generally quote a little-known white Mississippi Dem, Gene Taylor, we
have some 225 million adults in the US, a goodly percentage of which are
eligible for the office, and these 4 are the best we could come up
with...? (And yep, he did say specifically and emphatically "4")

Again, it's not a matter of picking the best person for the job, it's a
matter of picking from the four ya got. It has been apparent for some
time that Obama ain't nothing special - just another pol trying to get
to the show any way he can. Trust me or don't, should the "real thing"
ever come along, they'll need to be begged and pleaded with to get
within 100 miles of a modern campaign, and in the end, will probably
wind up saying, ala Bradley, Romney, etc., "oh, just **** it..."

You put "real thing" in the same sentence with "Romney"?!?

/daytripper (ahahahahahahahahahaha!)

Yes, I did, although I didn't call him (or Bradley) that. I simply used
them as references of seemingly good, qualified people who have largely
walked away from politics. Bradley was probably closer to "the real
thing," and I'm not convinced Romney is _gone_, but ??? IMO, of the
major party candidates that had a reasonable shot, Romney appeared to be
the best of the pack on the economy and world affairs. I don't know
enough about him to make a comment about his being the "real thing" or
not, but I'd say he was probably a better choice than any of the current
four.
