are they as good looking as lurch and dumbo themselves? that would be quite a feat. I am still waiting to see the well versed commentary and dialogue on issues. I have never in my life met a liberal with either humor or wit. oh, and how does one stay so grounded when full of this much hot air??



"I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."

I am usually wrong 90% of the time. I laud those obama supporters who realize that they are voting for a politician. the "lesser" of two evils. but it seems to be the minority on this forum sometimes. but to those who are, more power to ya.

Many people use cynicism as a defense mechanism to protect themselves from the harsh realities that we face today, it's easy to just write off everyone and not believe anything, you might be right 90% of the time, but you are bound to be wrong some of the time.

I'm for realistic optimism. The ideas he presents when you look at the numbers are impossible the only reason he is presenting them is to "give people hope" I guess he doesn't really look at the numbers either that or who knows only a few percent do either or... Hey I never said anything bad about Obama he's just not the right man for the job IMO.

At least if you vote you can voice your opinion. About 50% don't vote and the 50% that do a little over 26-28% of the total number decide who the president is.

My favorite thing about all political supporters is I only encounter them on TV, and my TV has a channel changer AND an off button
