I don’t think being “America’s hottest half black man” counts as experience.

Fixed that fer ya, buddy. NOW it makes sense.

When people are convinced that Obama is an unpatriotic… terrorist…traitor…Arab…Muslim…Marxist…Socialist…anti-white racist nigger(hypocrisy at its finest)…ummmm…that’s hate in my book.

I may be wrong but I don’t think he’s any of those things. Wait a minute, he IS a socialist; that is undeniable.

I believe he is a carefully groomed Product of the Chicago Machine. The most liberal senator in the US Senate. A smart guy. A smart, smooth talkin’ guy. A smart, smooth talkin’ guy who stands against almost everything I do politically. A smart, smooth talkin’ guy who stands against almost everything I do politically who will attempt to transform the USA into a European styled nanny state.

Oh…and “America’s hottest half black man”…that was bad taste…lol. You can do better than that,push.

But, no. There are more sycophants gushing over his “hotness” than there are red-blooded American males gushing over Palin’s.

Some idiots even support him in a feeble attempt for self atonement for America’s racist past and for no other reason.

You can bash Obama all you want, and I’d probably agree with you on 70-80% of it, but it doesn’t change the fact that Palin is woefully underqualified, far worse than he is. And her selection puts the lie to McCain’s pretenses about experience and “country first.”[/quote]

Actually, I consider her at least as qualified as Obama. How is she “far” less qualified?

She has more “qualifications” than Obama has. We’ve gone over this ad nauseum here. He has NO experience other than being a campaigner. None. 16 months in the Senate is unequivocally comparative to NO experience for POTUS. This is not debatable by rational people.[/quote]

The only experience that matters for the president is being the president. Anything else is just an apples to oranges comparison.

And anyway, shes a woman. You really want a woman to be president?

Obama speaks authoritatively. He speaks with great insight into the challenges we’re facing of a military and political and economic nature. And he is surrounding himself, I’m confident, with people who’ll be able to give him the expertise that he, at the moment, does not have.

And so I have watched an individual who has intellectual vigor and who dives deeply into issues and approaches issues with a very, very steady hand. And so I’m confident that he will be ready to take on these challenges on January 21st.

I disagree. I think the Left loves Sarah Palin. Except for “igniting the base”-most of whom would have voted for McCain anyway- she has helped sway “the undecideds” towards the Democrats. But, it’s not only Independents, but some notable dyed-in-the-wool Conservatives who have trepidations about her, such as George Wills, Christopher Buckley and, now, Colin Powell.

Now the Left, of which I am a part, has many ideological differences with Palin. However, those critical and/or defecting Republicans named above have another problem with her. They can’t take her seriously based on her lack of experience and/or intellectual depth.

She is attractive, she was a good sport to go on SNL like she did, hell, she MAY even be a nice lady, her designer eyeglasses are the shiz. I could go on and on saying nice things about Sarah Palin, for the same reasons that members of the football team who just won 60-0 can praise their opponents’ defense.

So, when I look at all of this and I think back to my Army career, we’ve got two individuals, either one of them could be a good president. But which is the president that we need now? Which is the individual that serves the needs of the nation for the next period of time?

And I come to the conclusion that because of his ability to inspire, because of the inclusive nature of his campaign, because he is reaching out all across America, because of who he is and his rhetorical abilities–and we have to take that into account–as well as his substance–he has both style and substance–he has met the standard of being a successful president, being an exceptional president.

I think he is a transformational figure. He is a new generation coming into the world–onto the world stage, onto the American stage, and for that reason I’ll be voting for Senator Barack Obama.

Many feel just as you do. They lack the “intellectual vigor” to “dive deeply into the issues”. They just latch on to his charisma like moths to a light bulb; they don’t know why they’re just doing it, just that it seems like the thing to do.

Welcome to the Lemming Club. Have a nice flight.[/quote]

Umm…your analogy is the nature of politics in whole.

If I had only had that in mind, I could have done this six, eight, 10 months ago. I really have been going back and forth between somebody I have the highest respect and regard for, John McCain, and somebody I was getting to know, Barack Obama. And it was only in the last couple of months that I settled on this. And I can’t deny that it will be a historic event for an African-American to become president. And should that happen, all Americans should be proud–not just African-Americans, but all Americans–that we have reached this point in our national history where such a thing could happen. It will also not only electrify our country, I think it’ll electrify the world.

After reading your posts for some time now, I have to say, you are the biggest douchebag in the political forum (and thats saying a lot considering your competition). Misguided obama nuthugging at its worst.

dude…anything counts these days. Explain to me how Obama, McCain, or Biden make any sense at all.

do we even know she’s the hottest? I have yet to see a good picture of her ass. She does seem to have sizable sweater meat though.

Sure, sure. Forget about their policies. Then again, both leave a lot to be desired substantively. So maybe you’re not all that far off the mark.

Still, it’s a bad idea to vote for president based on perceived charisma and/or perceived likeability. Aside from false promises of conservatism, a lot of people made the mistake of voting for Dubya because he came across as the ‘every man’ and a relateable figure. He proved to be far too much the ‘every man’ and hopelessly lost when dealing with the complexities a president must face.

McCain and Obama are both very inferior in my opinion. But they do have a fundamentally different approach to governance. You should pick the one you can most reconcile yourself to.

Same thing with Palin. She talks a good game and is likeable. But scratch the surface, and it’s beyond being unqualified. Her record is not even that of fiscal conservative. I don’t have time or desire to get in an argument about her with people on here again. Or of a competent executive manager.

But I know why I don’t like her. The left doesn’t like her because of her social policies and because they think she’s stupid. I don’t necessarily agree. I don’t like her because I think she’s unqualified and not a true fiscal conservative. And that her record in Wasila and Alaska reflects poorly on her. Not being a big fan of many of her social policies either, there’s nothing left that’s redeemable.

Every lib woman I’ve seen looks like they’ve been run over by a pizza delivery guy in a big truck. Think Nancy Pelosi. No wonder they hate Sarah — she’s a reproach on their empty lives, dead souls, and ugly faces.

I was quoting Alaska Magazine from the link.

I can tell you this. She’s hotter than Tina Fey.

Colin Powell

Gentlemen, the words you are arguing so vociferously against, your angst and anger, should be directed at this man, not I. I simply cut and pasted it from the link I had on the other thread. …but it was funny as hell to hear your wailing.

Very true.
