Says who? 'Recreate '68' aren't promising riots unless Obama gets the nomination.

Another of the many conservative wet dreams never to be fulfilled.
Blacks riot all the time, that's nothing unusual.


Quote:
It's looking like it's dream ticket time.
Sure, if you are an American hating commie.

But really, do you think Obama wants Hillary as his running mate?



Quote:
No Democratic division.
I'll believe that when I see it. Until then, 'Operation Chaos' is in full swing!



Quote:
Could it get any worse for the GOP? Almost certainly.
I don't see how, we already have a liberal candidate who isn't much better than either demo-commie candidate.



Quote:
And, more importantly, the race-baiting is old and busted nastiness.
Tell that to Obama.


Quote:
Even his critics seem to be tiring of the Wright smears.
Wright smeared himself.


Quote:
The "elitism" charge is going to be hard to play by a guy who married in to a fortune and wants to preserve tax cuts for the rich vs. the guy who just payed off of his law-school loans...
Everybody knows Obama is an elitist commie, he has made that clear.




Quote:
Groovy times, hippies.
Yes, especially in Denver!



Quote:
Barack Obama is now the most powerful force in American politics, his nomination is secured and all signs point to Democratic unity.
Obama can't beat McCain.

Well, they have.

Google McCain Izeman

It's worse than Monica, actually, because this chick lobbied McCain all night long to get special favors...



What they haven't found is a blue dress.


That said, McCain sounds more like Bush every day.

That stink will only grow as the Iraq debacle surges backward.

Good point. Once the party solidifies, and all things point to that happening, expect Obama to increase his lead.

I don't see it that way.


McCain will get all the Blue Dog democrat votes. He'll get all the Republican votes. He'll get all the white racist democrat votes. He'll get all the business owner votes.

Obama will get the black votes and the hippie votes.


McCain in a landslide!

Why do you not like Obama? Why is it that you would question me, when there are clearly people here who despise him for reasons other than politics?

Personally, I believe in moderation. This country has been skewed too far right on the spectrum since Reagan.

The imperative has not been a government that functions optimally, but a government that cuts big checks to rich people, with smaller checks down the totem..

We have a trillion dollars worth of infrastructure in this country that is decaying, we have understaffed police and firemen, and underegulated industries in nearly every sector.

We're addicted to oil, and we're not even trying to get off of it.

We're fighting wars, and building nations in places that never attacked us, and posed no imminent threat to us, spending untold hundreds of billions of dollars.

Meanwhile, under the administration's who swore to "shrink government" we've actually expanded government, and spent more money than under those who admit that they want the government to succeed.

And our debt increases every day.

What America needs is a Reagan of the left to balance ourselves.

That's why I support Obama.



Quote:

No. The best politicians give good speeches, but if you think that's all he's got, apparently you missed the part where he's beaten the clintons; something Republicans haven't done in nearly 30 years.

Quote:
What has he accomplished that you admire?
His work on ethics reform, and transparency in the senate is admirable.

But, it's his work after law school as a public advocate that is most impressive to me personally.

He graduated from an ivy league law school, and could have gone to work in more selfish pursuits, but instead used his skill to be a voice for people who needed one.

And, it is a credit to more than mere charisma that he went from a lowly advocate of the public, to one good election day away from the oval office in under two decades.

Particuarly after such a base, bombastic character as president, the country needs a leader with strong mental faculties, who understands complexities in a situation, for instance, the difference between shiites and sunnis.


Quote:
Can you even list any accomplishments?
Could you be more condescending?

What has McCain accomplished?

Could you list anything he's done in the last 30 years that really matters?

His most important work was in campaign finance laws, laws he now skirts. Some accomplishment...

So, what is it? His gift for being an influence peddler who's campaign is directed by lobbyists? Perhaps it's being such a peddler, while convincing everybody, the media included, that he is somehow above the fray, while he swaps federal land for a campaign donor?

The question of "Why does one support Obama" begs a more important question: who is stupid enough to fall for McCain, after Bush?
