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.

That's right, "undecided." 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. ...

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 |

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. 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. All I've gotten is a bunch of partisan crap, mostly anti-Bush or anti-GOP.

"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. |
