    Don't worry, if you vote for Obama, I'll still think you're a racist :D

    So a vote for someone other than Barack means I'm a racist?

    I'd hate to live your guilt ridden lives then.




    Guilt Free in '08! McCain for POTUS!

    This is why I don't think it matters who the dems run out there, this is an anything but republicans election.

    And, I really want Obama in there, this country needs a hard left turn to balance out the far right cross we have taken across the chin for the last 8 years.

    You gotta be kidding. George W. Bush has been even less "far right" than his father on most issues.

    Beats a half-trillion dollar war with 3,900 dead (and rising), based on **** intel and a bad exit strategy: also on "our tax dime." And which is worse, ignoring the old Bin Laden or giving him a branch office with a bunch of new proteges?

    I just thought it was ironic. Alan Keyes would make Rush Limbaugh seem middle of the road.

    Alan Keyes and hillaroid should get together and have a luv child - A genetic experiment taking up the alleles of quite possibly the two most irritating creatures on the planet.

    Maybe Monsanto can patent the progeny and use it to Roundup (TM) Guantanomo prisoners out of their silence by annoying them into tortuous confession.

    This ^ is what is known as a denial of the facts, and a snowballing effect that comes from not dealing with the ORIGINAL facts...

    If Bill does his job instead of having one on the side, we never have all of these other things you act as if were 100% voluntary and concocted.

    Were there Al Q's in IRAQ? Yes. Proven fact.

    step back

    Who perpetrated the violence of 9/11/01 against the US? Al Q's. Yes. Proven Fact.

    step back

    For years on end, during the Clinton presidency, the Al Q's gained confidence in their ability to attack US targets without much response if any. Yes. Proven Fact.

    step back

    Somewhere in the midst of all of the attacks on US embassies, US military installations, US Navy ships, and even US landmarks (that would later be completely destroyed), Bill was paying more attention to a White House intern and her chubby cheeks. Yes. Proven Fact.

    step back

    Slick Willie had a history of certain things that the "right side" saw as questionable all along, but that the "left side" said "cut him a break" on... Things like affairs, strange business dealings. Yes. Proven Fact.

    step back

    Ross Perot's run for the presidency in both of Bill Clinton's runs allowed a POTUS to be elected with a mid-40's percentage of the popular vote, lowest in decades. Yes. Proven Fact.

    step back

    Republican "sheep" that fell in line tried to warn folks to vote the party line in order to keep the right people in office that would be best for National Security and stay on task. Yes. Proven Facts.

    step back

    The "right" side has been holding to basically the same values for decades on end, while the "left" has gone farther and farther away from the center... thus by default, make the "right" closer to center than the "moderates" of the left side. Yes. My opinion... but a compelling one.


    Bill said one thing that I have never disagreed with.

    "There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be fixed by what is right with America."

    I agree. And the "right" has never moved. It still works. It is still what is right, correct if you will, with America.

    If it used to look like this:
    LEFT----------CENTER----------RIGHT​

    It now looks like this:
    LEFT-----------------------------CENTER----------RIGHT​

    Blaming 9/11 on an illicit affair that happened five years earier is dumb and wrong. Especially since the Republican Congress was just as distracted abusing the Independent Counsel law, "on our tax dime."

    But somehow after four years the only thing Ken Starr could "convict" Clinton of was cheating on his wife, two years after his investigation started.

    I'm just stating facts.




    Bill Clinton was impeached.

    Getting a blowjob while married < Starting a war that shouldn't have begun in the first place. Should we go back to Reagan's presidency and place the blame on him for 9/11?

    I'm actually fine with all three, although I can see the same risks with all of them that everyone else does. Obama's the only one I "trust" to end the war, but he's just so green. He really reminds me of Carter, in that I don't think he would be anywhere near the Presidency if the incumbent wasn't so unpopular. I admire McCain's frankness, but that might make it impossibe for him to govern with a Dem Congress. Hillary's polarizing nature might actually create a Republican Congress.

    Since the question was who one would prefer, I voted in the poll...even though I don't have a vote :). I'll admit that my vote is based on somewhat limited exposure to actual debates between the candidates and possibly based on who I find the most likeable. My second choice would be McCain, I just can't stand Hillary.

    Young people like Obama because they are more idealistic, less cynical, and don't value experience(because they have less) as much as the old folk.
