Unfortunately, I fear that this won't be the only one of these we hear about. I suspect that it will only get worse after he wins the election....  [Read More]

Am I the only one that got this from this thread? <snip> Does that come in wallpaper-size too? 1280x800 perhaps? @topic: the hoops one has to go through to question the authenticity of Obama's birth certificate can be applied to anyone. If we...  [Read More]

Pretty busy day today, so I just now got around to listening to the endorsement itself. I think the rationale behind Powell's decision was delivered with a good mix of sensitivity and candor. I'm not sure how much of an impact his endorsement will ha...  [Read More]

:lol: Just found this quote: Considering that the children he mentions in your quote can't vote, I'm going to have to assume that he's targeting young adults. Presumably Obama doesn't jump to the conclusion that young people that play video games are...  [Read More]

Have his actions over the past 20+ years been a ruse of some sort?Which begs the question: which actions? I hope the argument is not that he has some pristine record that is just now being tarnished. His reputation for being hot tempered, for persona...  [Read More]

Possession by demons or having one's strings pulled doesn't sound like accountability. The argument sounds as though something other than McCain is responsible for McCain's actions. I'm simply pointing out that this isn't true (and it sounds as thoug...  [Read More]

I agree with you, Tommycat. I said to Achilles last night that it's like McCain has been possessed by a reactionary demon, or that someone else is pulling his strings. Someone that apparently wants him to lose.I really wish I understood the compulsio...  [Read More]

At the risk of derailing the thread before it even gets its legs underneath it, I will argue here as I have argued elsewhere (http://lucasforums.com/showthread.php?p=2539524) that there is a huge difference between McCain's negative ads and Obama's &...  [Read More]

I've heard some analysts say that McCain's "maverick" theme risks damaging his party by transmitting that while he's a technically a Republican, he's also somehow better or above Republicans. By putting himself above the party, other Republ...  [Read More]

OK, thanks for clarifying that for me. I don't like the nastiness that's heating up in this campaign and it is so wrong, but I don't want decent people who are behaving appropriately getting lumped in with the bad unintentionally.No problem. I probab...  [Read More]

Both candidates are concerned about voters right now. Obama's afraid that if his supporters assume the best and stay home without voting (assuming that he doesn't need their vote to win), he risks losing the election. McCain knows that if his voters...  [Read More]

Right. Hillary brought it up. Everyone looked. Everyone except right-wing nutjobs saw that there was nothing and after seeing that it was nothing let it go. So your argument that it's somehow "just now" being picked up is patently false....  [Read More]
