Still being your usual and persistent hostile self, huh? Remind me to ignore you should we ever meet. I've never met such an arrogant person as you and I hope I never do. You say more mean-spirited and useless things here than everyone else combined. T_J is not mean; you are. He has a sense of humor; you don't. Take your member out of your hand and you can type faster....
I expressly forbid you to vote for Obama - you don't deserve to be a part of history and deserve to be left behind in its wake. YES WE CAN (except for you, giddyup, no you cannot.)
For me, this is a lot of what this election is about: Making a statement to the Republican party that they must rebuild and remake themselves or their power will be chopped down to a nub. This election isn't just about 2008, it's about making sure the GOP is a viable choice for independent voters like me in the future. This is going to surprise some people but here it is: I have NEVER EVER voted for a Dem presidential candidate. Obama will be the first. I shamefully admit to voting for Bush in 2008. (Please forgive me).
I was undecided until about two weeks ago. I voting Obama because McCain has caved in so much to the right and his party that I have no trust that he would be the one making the decisions. The Palin pick sealed the deal for me. Instead of getting someone qualified, he pandered to the religious right.
NEWSFLASH! McCain has been on the "right" side of the aisle his entire political life. Every president has been affiliated in some way or another to "the religious right." If you're new to those facts... you may want to read up on it a bit.
Give me a break! "NEWSFLASH!" In 2000, the "Maverick" known as the Straight-Talk Express blasted Religious Right icons Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as "agents of intolerance" who "were evil". He despised them and they despised him in return. In 2008, the revised John McCain kissed and hugged a successor, John Hagee, before being forced to renounce him. From 2000 to 2008, McCain's done a 100% flip-flop regarding the Religious Right worthy of a gold medal. It's sickening. "If you're new to those facts... you may want to read up on it a bit." LOL!
Okay... take 6... ...weeks off. Hugs of extreme-right characters do not a "right winger" make. Subsequent detachment from the same characters in the interests of taking a correct stand on improper verbiage and flakiness do not take you out of the "right winger" column. Maybe you need some better reasoning as to what the "right" side of the aisle is made up of, by and large. There are less "religious" things that I identify with in the GOP than there are "secular" issues I align with. Squarely, TWO issues align me to the GOP when it comes to "religion". And the GOP has way more than two issues in the party platform... major sticking points for most. Robertson? Falwell? Hagee? If they say anything extreme, I'd would hope a candidate called them on it... At least McCain did it immediately... as was not so quickly the case with Obama on Jeremiah Wright, Father Phleger and Louis Farrakhan. They both have "pandered" so let's not leave it twisted.
just shut the hell up already. TRUE INDEPENDENTS dont really give a damn what a shill repub like yourself says because at the end of the day it will always pro republican and anti-everyone else. believe it or not, REAL INDEPENDENT THINKING members of this board kinda think you're an idiot when you post garbage like this... i bet it would blow your mind to know that i voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004, and was an avid mccain supporter as recently as 2 years ago (and even touted a mccain/obama election as being "great for this country" as recently as 3 months ago!) luckily for me, i'm capable of looking beyond the shallowest arguments in determining who's most fit to run this country... hard to do, i know, but i'm sure you could do it if you really tried (maybe not). so run along to your partisan house with your warped sense of reality and your moronic one-liners, because you're an idiot.
Wow guy! Ditto for me on the bolded part except I didn't repeat my mistake on W in 2004. Great post. Agree 100% with every word you said.
It depends... Do you like Obama's far reaching plans and trust he'll attempt to carry them out, or do you like McCain's general approach to reduce spending and let businesses and the American people to sort out the major things on their own all while expenditures will still rack up large deficits.
