    It's not just the voting stuff.

    I claimed it wasn't an issue for Obama. And it wasn't. I claimed no specific "reputation," but the lack of an issue.

    We'll just see.

    Please try to actually read the posts before you respond to them, MC. It really helps.

    I never said he was definitely wrong. Those stories could have been pushed by the opponents. They could have been Newsweek on its own. My point is, YF made an accusation he can't support and now he refuses to admit as much.

    So you whine that they're all liars, but the thing that bothered you the most was when someone told the truth?

    It's not some outlandish "accusation." There's a 99 percent chance those stories came from opposing campaigns.

    Reputable political media don't assign reporters enterprise pieces on how much of a "wimp" someone is. Unless, most likely, it was a widely held public perception of the candidate, which would come directly from the people running against him/her.

    That's quite literally the entire point of campaigning.

    It wasn't an issue for Obama because the media made sure that absolutely nothing was an issue for Obama.

    We need to have an OOP signal, so everyone knows to stay away from the thread for a while.

    So you are all for making posters making politically-motivated accusations without evidence. Got it.

    Further proof I'm absolutely correct.

    How exactly? Never mind. I'm not interested in your fiction writing today. If you really think the media never gave Obama trouble over anything during the campaign, you are every bit as beyond help as I thought.
