    Not at all, I think the guy is full of shit.

    However, I am tired of the Clinton brand of politics and believe a win by Obama in November would be a very good thing for the long term of this country -- not because of his policies (whatever they might be, well other than hope and change) - but because if he wins it signals the end of the Clinton-era politicians monopoly of the Democratic party and it also would force the GOP to go find some fresh, younger politicians to become the face of the party so as to challenge Obama in 2012.

    I think both parties need an enema and Obama could provide it, even if it would mean four years of fighting the policies of the most liberal president elected since FDR......

    So you're not sure of his policies but think he would be the most liberal president since FDR?
     
  4. I warned you.
    I really did.
    Looking for logic there is like looking for mukluks in the Sinai.

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt
    Harry S Truman
    Dwight David Eisenhower
    John Fitzgerald Kennedy
    Lyndon Bains Johnson
    Richard Millhouse Nixon
    George W Bush
    William Jefferson Clinton
    George HW Bush
    Barack Hussein Obama

    Usually where middle names are used is at the party conventions as in

    "The great state of Mississippsi, home of Brett Favre is pleased to cast all of its votes for the next President of the United States of America- Barack Hussein Obama."

    No, same kind of morons. I should clarify that right-wing nutjobs are not all GOPs. There are people who will vote for McCain because he's a white male. But I don't think any right-wing nutjob is making that an issue. "Vote McCain because he's white and a man!"

    But by pointedly bringing up Obama's middle name, it's saying "Don't vote for Obama. Look at his middle name!"

    Well he'd have to be given that every speech I hear from the guy -- in between the words hope and change is "I'm going to give $10 billion to......." and we all know when a politician says he is going to give money to some cause, the real meaning is -- taxpayers are going to be forced to fork up money for some cause....

    A classic example was today when he spoke in Mississippi, he was going on about hope and change and an unfair economy and said he is going to get $10 billion to bail out homeowners and stem the tide of foreclosures.......

    That goes along with the $10,000,000 he is giving to college students the $100,000,000 he is pledging to "fix" health care....

    Again, every time the guy opens his mouth he talks about change, hope and spending -- he is clearly more liberal than Hillary and Slick Willy were.....

    And exactly why are those kind of nutjobs - the white males who are voting for McCain because he is one of their own -- worse in than the left wing women nutjobs who say vote for Hillary because she is one of us or the left wing black nutjobs who say vote for Obama because he is one of ours?

    Oh that's right -- it is the SportsJournalists.com liberal mafia mantra -- "the only people who are bias are those who don't agree with us.... "

    He nailed her on this one. Absolutely nailed her.
    Her pre-emptive strike to get her to the top failed miserably.

    Kind of goes back to the point of HRC's judgement if she's willing to put someone she doesn't think is ready a heartbeat away from the presidency. Or maybe she's just being dishonest about either his qualifications or whether she'd really offer it.


    And I can't believe political debate has devolved to the point of making fun of people's names. I stopped doing that when I was 9.
