Inexperienced, very liberal politician files papers to run for President

no he can't. and unlike us democrats who aren't hypocritical about sex yall would have too many issues with his sexual escapades.

oh and he's pro choice and same sex unions. what do you think about that.

 

Figures TJ would admire a racist, adulterer as his presidential candidate of choice.

Talk about NO CRED!

 

Sounds like he is a good choice for me. Social liberal fiscal conservatives are my favorites.

 

it's no more useful to compare obama to lincoln than it is to compare bush to lincoln, although at least in the latter case there are more similarities.

that said, i'm glad BalaCk Hussein Obama is running. he's a fascinating candidate, and his presence will certainly keep the race interesting, and hopefully result in a democratic nominee not named clinton.

 

no there are clearly those who think they are bigger than the party and the office and mccain is certainly one of them. frankly this is what many republicans feel. because until a year ago i respected mccain as well.

why would i care? i don't. i don't vote for the person i think is most likely to get to heaven. i don't vote for the basketball player i believe is most likely to get to heaven. i don't care if the president of my company is church going. thats their thing with their respective beliefs. they should perform the job they are wanting. perform it to the best of their abilities. be honest and truthful with their constituents. thats all im asking. if they want to have consensual sex in their closet thats great. i'd appreciate it if the media wouldn't report it so i could raise my kids without such moral rubbish. but i don't care if they do it.

 

rudy G is a racist?

 

Don't you think that the fact that he's pro choice and same sex unions would make it more likley that he could deliver NY to the GOP?

 

basso why do you keep calling him "black" osama?

Why don't you grow a pair of e-balls and just call him "N-gger Obama" or "Darkie Pickaninny" or something similar?

That's what you mean to imply right?

 

not when they are slimy and hate black people. oh and he can't win so it doesn't matter.

 

Ask the people of Harlem how they feel about Rudy.

 

and i'm a democrat who wants a very strict interpretation of what the federal government can do. am i going to deliver texas?

its a pipe dream that won't happen.

 

oh I have no doubt the swift boat wil come hard and fast.

 

That's news to me, could someone post some links on the subject? Maybe a seperate thread.

 

All those people you mentioned are not the President of the U.S. If the POTUS wakes up with a headache and has a bad day because some homeless guy hollered something at him, that could mean that new bill which gives more money to social welfare programs might not get passed. His actions have far more influence than anything a basketball player or a company president.

I think that a strong family structure is a necessity in any country that aspires to be great or even merely functional.

 

Democrats have Ohio locked up now... Republicans have a very uphill battle now, especially with the cluster**** in Iraq.

 

well i dont. he can't get a new bill which gives money to social welfare programs. the congress appropriates and legislates. and i probably wouldn't want to vote for someone who is so irrational. that has nothing to do with his sexual deviance or purity.

i don't think a strong family structure is necessary for the president of the united states. fdr died in the arms of his mistress. he was a pretty good president right?

 

Likewise. Of course, calling a republican fiscally conservative is quite a strech based on current trends. Fiscal conservatism - hooey. America has not seen that in decades.

I'll be really curious IF Obama gets the candidacy how "closet racism" affects his potential. I would not be surprised to see him leading in polls only to lose the actual election.

 

Obama's inexperience is a help and not a hindrance. The longer he is in the Senate the longer his voting record will be, and that can be twisted to find inconsistencies and spin that record.

In addition people don't really care about experience as a qualification as much as everyone pretends.

In the end if a candidate is likable enough, presents an image of leadership, strength fresh ideas, seems likable, and charismatic he can get elected.

It happened with Bush, Kennedy, etc. It is why if you do an issue by issue poll it often comes out that the candidate who has less in common with people's feelings on issues wins the race.

Obviously there are plenty of voters who don't fall into that category but not enough to change the outcome of the election.

While Obama is new and fresh and largely unknown people can pin whatever their own hopes our for a candidate on him. As long has he has a shorter record he can say what he believes, and won't have a record to contradict his speeches.
