Maybe you Republicans are feeling more tense this time around, seeing as you haven't got much going, and belatedly realize you didn't have much going in 2004.

A marshmallow fight. pitiful. I mean, John Kerry was pretending to be something he is not. Trying to be a centrist. Out with the hunters killing small animals and shit. Talking up his war hero smoke and mirrors instead of his anti-war cred...and so on. Kerry, like Bush is a corporate stooge...part of the great machine. Kerry and Bush were fighting for the middle. A version of the old Patty Duke show. "identical cousins...except Kerry likes the minuet and crepe suzettes" This year though...we got polar opposites. Nobody is fighting for the middle. McCain is Mr. War. Obama is Mr. anti-War. McCain is the old soldier...son of a soldier...father of a soldier. Obama is the young activist. and on and on and on about how different these two guys are. This election will be intense on the ground. Because it forces (or allows) the American public to make a real choice. WE HAVE TO MAKE A REAL CHOICE, DAVID! Isn't that cool? I think it's cool.

Actually, Obama is as white as he is black...I thought you wuz an edumacated man who kept up with details. And you certainly shouldn't be surprised that I'd vote for Obama. Especially in this primary. I'd vote for Marion Barry before I'd vote for Hillary Clinton.

I'm a registered Democrat. Locally, I generally support the Democrat party. But not nationally since they got on the Clinton/Pelosi/whatever national Dem wacko train. I like Obama for one main reason. He is not corporate/special interest funded. Which is huge. Because where the money comes from is where the influence comes from. I also like how competent Obama appears to be. It takes a lot of competence to outraise the corporate interests and the political insiders...helluva a deal. And I of course, think the Clintons are ludicrous incompetents and it amazes me that anyone would vote for their lying, dumb ass. I mean, the Clintons know that most people know that if their lips are moving, the Clintons are lying. It's a joke to them. "What lie shall we tell the people today, Bill?" If caught they just shrug their shoulders and go something like "I misspoke" and come up with a new batch of lies.

Well then, why did you vote for Bush? (Twice.) Gore and Kerry were not good candidates. As proof of that...both are still alive and well....yet in opinion polls...very few wanted them to run again in 2008. If they were good candidates...they would be today's candidate. Instead of Obama.

Posts: 1631 (05/12/08 08:28:47) takes after his mom Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Report Post	What strikes me about Hillary is that she's been trying to sell herself in whatever incarnation the focus group says she should be that week. She's the weeper, the fighter, the underdog, the forerunner, the next POTUS. You remember that movie "Big Night" where Ian Holm (Bilbo Baggins more recently) screws over Stanley Tucci's restaurant and sends him to the poor house? Tucci's character asks him loathingly, "What's are you?!?", and he replies, "I'm a business man, I'm anything I need to be at any time". The center of her personality is a one of a shapeshifter. One really gets the sense that Obama has been pretty much the same guy all along, either that's true or he's waaaaay better at it than she is....but I don't think the latter is the case. It feels that this guy is really solid under pressure and can handle the job. You beat a Clinton to get into the White House...that's qualified enough for me I say. That bit about her coming off the plane in Kosavo or wherever she was under a hail of fire was pretty much the clincher for me. This woman is a real snake in the grass. Listening to her speak grates on me almost as much as GWB; at least he's pretty good with the one-liners sometimes....I especially love that one about "Misson Accomplished". Hehe, that was a real kneeslapper.... Last Edited By: Aaron Garner 05/12/08 08:32:07. Edited 1 times.
