    No... I'm saying that "Okay... (read between the lines here, it ain't hard...) IF this is true, IF it all pans out that this is the case.... THEN you've got some sort of a level area here"... Ifshin vs. Ayers..... Ayers is the greater problem. Ayers lit stuff, and it went booooom.

    Don't insinuate I'm okay with either situation.

    DEMOCRATIC STRATEGY: Act like no question was asked if it may shed a negative light on you to qualify it with a proper answer.




    COMMON SENSE: When a public servant ignores a question on their character, it shows their character is the question.

    Letting some random nutjobs paint your view of conservatives is no different than conservatives calling libs traitors because of creative marketing by Michael Moore or MoveOn.org.

    Why so angry?

    That is so absurd, it's almost funny. Well, it is funny because you're gonna lose.

    FWIW - I think DonnyMost's first response in here was the only sensible one.


    I'll take that as the only good answer thus far.


    Thanks. You can discuss other non-issues now.

    I have not said that I believe all conservatives or even a significant fraction of them feel that way. I am concerned that the smearing and the rhetoric being thrown out by the right could inflame a random nutjob. When they keep calling someone a Muslim and a terrorist and say they hate this country, it's going to piss off someone.

    At least you admit this is a non-issue. Thanks!

    IROC it - the more you post, the more you humiliate yourself. Stop trying to start real threads and go back to your usually scheduled stream of garbage, because in 30 days after McCain loses you will be too crushed to do it anymore.

    One more misrepresentation... no one said that in the link you provided. Just "terrorist" -your Freudian, bigoted, slip is showing.

    Thanks for reminding me why I haven't bothered over the last few weeks. Enjoy your defeat, this thread is going to make the win taste that much better. Democrats controlling the House, Senate (quite possibly filibuster proof) and the White House? Yummy indeed.

    And thanks for calling me a bigot. But I'm guessing in typical fashion, you'll say you weren't calling me a bigot, just bigoted. :rolleyes:

    Again, thanks DonnyMost for a real answer.

    Some of you could learn by the example and post according to the topic at hand.

    Define Freudian.



    It's not that you meant to... it just magically appears in your speech.

    I am insulating that you ARE okay with McCain's situation, since you're so biased to the right that you're only seeing the dirt flying off Obama's back. Either this dirt is bulls*** or McCain is just as unelectable.

    I'm worried about it too. It doesn't mean I'll go around telling conservative members on here what they should hope for for being in their current position.

    It bothers me for anyone to mention it at all. Is there good reason to bring it up on other threads?

    If McCain is equally as unelectable then neither of us have a candidate worth casting a ballot for.


    Look... both have claims against them... I'd like proof, or disproof of either.


    btw- where's your link?

    I'll take whatever bet you want to spare the world from you. It is a duty that I owe intelligent people everywhere.

    You're right. I was just pointing out to the OP that this stuff does not matter to voters (nor should it) and these distractions are not going to work in this election. I should not have been so reckless with a comment like that. I am really concerned at the direction this smear campaign could lead though.

    You don't have a candidate worth voting in if you believe in this association crap. Then again, if you're going to determine a vote based on this...well, really, it's probably better that you don't vote at all.
