First of all, those aren't "my" hurdles. (They're self-imposed--at least most of them are).
Secondly those "hurdles" are not comprehensive. Example: Let's say the Democrats elect a WICCA witch. Is the scenario of Dems ushering forward a witch such a "hurdle" mounted by some remote FREEPER that might keep her/him from getting FREEPER votes? (Hardly)
My point is that no matter how many "hurdles" you think I've raised, there's always the chance (well, OK, likelihood), that if you were to ask me in the Summer of '08, I could present even more "hurdles" about a Dem or Independent candidate.
Are all the hurdles I could ever come up with...be it a Repub, Dem, or Indy...simply of my construction? Or could it possibly, just possibly, be the fact that we have few presidential candidates right now which don't have MASSIVE baggage issues?
This is no small issue. Why do I say that? Because I've already seen on far too many of these threads comments made by even (especially) Christians who are outright castigating the voter merely for pointing out that the candidates for EOTUS (Emperor of the US) are missing a few vital pieces of clothing.
If most of these candidates are partially to fully "nude" no matter how folks like to "play dolls" and try to "dress them up," may I suggest that I didn't have anything to do w/denuding them. [My pointing out their state of (un)dress doesn't make my finger responsible for the whole slate of affairs.]
With a strong headwind against us in '08, if we're divided going in we're toast.
Well said.
