All 3 candidates have live speeches planned tonight- incoming results from the LAST (can you believe it) of the Dem primaries- it seemed a live thread was called for!
Obama sells to the true believers because of his skin color and his slogans. It makes them all giddy, feel all "progressive" to support "a black guy for President". That why he does so well with the "young dumb and full of...." crowd. Because they still mostly governed by emotion, not reason.
Strip aways the emotional appeal and really listen to the Oessiah and you realize quick there is absolutely nothing there but slogans and sound bites.
That may make the Private Jet Leftists types feel all giddy, it will not sell neeraly so well to the average worker. The gal wondering how to make her mortgage this month, or a guy worrying on how he is going to make payroll this week have much different ideas on what a President should be about. Life has long beat all such emotion based silliness out of them.
And it is still the worker bees, not the lotus eaters, who decided elections in this country.
OH!! IS THIS FUN???
BECKEL IS ABOUT TO WET HIS PANTSON FOX.
I love this stuff, Conservatives like us are screwed.
MAN. The Meltdown is FUN!
(on both sides)
can someone photoshop that sign - should say
“When can I finally tell Whitey to F### off?”
Say what you want about McCain, at least he comes off as believing what he says. And he does believe what he says. I know, I've met him. Unfortunately he thinks he's right when he is not.
Obama really says nothing substantial except he will nationalize health care. The rest is all "change blah blah blah". I was watching Obama tonight and he seems very full of himself. Stuck up.

That would be OK. I don't really care except I hope he picks someone who helps him win.

Well they all have egos that could sink a battleship - can’t really decide which one is the most self-righteous among these 3, imho.....
Good night ya all. When I let this crap get me this irritated, I know I have been at it too long
BTW, I responded to your post because I agreed with it. The “Flame On” was meant for the ones who took it without acknowledgement.
Yes, he is terrifying. Terrifying because people should be using logic when deciding how to vote (what’s best for me, my family, and the nation), he evokes an illogical, even religious, fervor. That’d be nice if he was right, but he’s wrong about damn near everything and trying to reach out to his followers is difficult, if not hopeless because they are all too sucked in because they failed to discern with logic before jumping aboard.
Scarey in a Biblical proportion way!!!
Oh my time to reconnect with God!
I wonder how all these girls will like their Burka(sp)

HE’LL promise 1.00 gas before it’s over.
