That's right, "undecided." I don't feel either of these guys has a
large, clear and objective advantage over the other, and frankly, anyone
who claims that one or the other does is blindly partisan. Yep, I think
you and the rest of the Obamanics are just as blindly partisan,
uninformed, and wrong about this as the McCainiacs, demonstrated
repeatedly by your claims that Obama is SO much "better" of a choice
than McCain (or even Palin). I can understand someone leaning one way
or the other, indeed having chosen already, but to claim that one is
leaps and bounds ahead of the other? Hardly. If a neutral third party
stepped in and enacted completely what either of the these two promise
as they have promised, the US economy would be so ****ed up it would
take many years to recover. Obama impresses me as little more than
wannabe, cut-rate Bill Clinton (and no, that's in no way a compliment).
And McCain has said so much in an attempt to get elected that I'm not
sure the guy he once was is still even there and Palin doesn't exactly
give me the warm and fuzzies.

... I will say that I don't completely trust Obama's
motives, but McCain appears to have gone completely "pol." ...


What is that supposed to mean, you don't trust Obama's "motives" ?


Well, for one, he never answers a question, even easy, obvious ones,
just like a cut-rate, punk-ass Clinton. Of course, that alone doesn't
disqualify him from office IMO, but it means that I don't completely
trust him or his motives. I suspect, but am not 100% convinced, that he
nothing but a power-grasping little **** whose first and primary REAL
interest in all of this is Obama, goaded on by his bitch of a wife,
whose primary interest is herself...again, ala the Clintons.

HTH,

Right before the second "townhall" debate it was explained that
the onstage audience consisted of "undecided" voters. My response
was, "What bar or asylum did they scrape these idiots out of ?"
My wife simply said, "Morons".


Ah, so anyone who has decided to support McCain isn't a "moron" or
"idiot" in your view. Well, in my view, anyone who has decided firmly
on either of these guys is too blindly partisan and/or ill-informed to
merit much consideration. There is simply too much "wrong" with both of
them to support an objective stance of one being vastly "better" a
choice than the other. Hell, I've politely asked repeatedly and stated
plainly that if anyone could convince me that Obama is even half of what
is claimed, I'd vote for him. All I've gotten is a bunch of partisan
crap, mostly anti-Bush or anti-GOP. So I'll repeat: Give me your sales
pitch on Obama - _on Obama_ - hell, you don't have to convince me he's
the second coming, the "real deal," or anything else, well, impossible,
just convince me he's even marginally the better candidate, and like I
said, he can have my vote.

Sounds like "Mississippi Code" to me.


If that's what you want to call it. Here's the translation:

And as far as Mississippi, Chuck Taylor, a Dem Congressman from S. Miss.
who has plenty of cross-party and cross-racial support (he's white)
isn't supporting Obama. And no, he's not vulnerable in the least - he
could hold Obama rallies on the beach every day and he'd be safe. Hell,
he'd probably get some white Republicans voting for Obama. But he has
pointedly _not supported_ him. And as far as racism, from what I can
tell, the bulk of Obama's black support is based solely upon his race.
That's no different from folks who won't vote for him based on his race.

Would anyone be calling McCain a racist if Obama was white...?

HTH,
R

Total piffle and pure, unadulterated nonsense.

Obama and McCain disagree on virtually every major issue facing
this country in the foreseeable future. Anybody who hasn't figured
that out by now has been living in oblivion.

There is simply too much "wrong" with both of
them to support an objective stance of one being vastly "better" a
choice than the other. Hell, I've politely asked repeatedly and stated
plainly that if anyone could convince me that Obama is even half of what
is claimed, I'd vote for him.


LOL !! The day you vote for Obama I'll hop a train to Hamburg and
go on a date with The Loon.

crap, mostly anti-Bush or anti-GOP. So I'll repeat: Give me your sales

Forget Obama. Look at the issues and decide who is going to assemble
the better administration to address those issues in ways with which
you can agree.

"Undecided" in this context means a struggle to decide between McCain and
Barr or some other third party.

Oh, yeah, right - you're just trying to use me as an excuse...


"Undecided" in this context means a struggle to decide between McCain and
Barr or some other third party.


Thus proving neither of you has the slightest clue about that of which
of speak...granted, if I had to pick one, right now, today, it would be
McCain, but it certainly wouldn't leave me feeling at ease with the
choice - I'd do it more to balance the loony, out-for-themselves Dems,
like Pelosi, Reid, and Schumer (Frank is a loon, too, but from what I
know about him, he's at least an honorable one...) than any other single
reason. OTOH, Obama winning wouldn't "upset" me terribly, either, esp.
if the Dems don't get a walk-through Congress. As to the economy,
taxes, Federal spending and other Fed income-outgo issues, taking each
at their word, they're both as full of **** as Christmas geese and
neither has the slightest clue about how to "fix" the situation. As to
abortion, it is the biggest red herring in politics - it's not going to
get banned, nor should it be, unless and until science says "life"
begins at some point before birth. I don't think it would be possible
to find even 2 people that would make it to the SC that would get near
it - it isn't a Federal legal issue and it has nothing whatsoever to do
with the Constitution.

As to Barr, etc., not even on my radar screen as far as voting for
him/them.
