One might argue that lacking a sense of humor could "eat you up inside"

Oh! A pathetic and stupid choice?

A graduate of Columbia and Harvard University, president of the Harvard Law Review, Constitutional Law Professor, US Senator, husband and father? My dear, you may disagree with him politically, but pathetic and stupid he is not.

His ELOQUENCE (as you say) is a welcome change from our our current President and his chosen successors of McCain and Palin. Electing Fascists is something Republicans do quite well, you have us beat there, dear.

LOL. And don't forget all of the stories they've posted from the National Enquirer! All of the sexist names they've called Sarah Palin (and Hillary Clinton), all of the ageisms against McCain, etc. That's why I'm enjoying their righteous indignation so much! It's soooooo hypocritical. (Or, as another poster said, Hypercritical. I like that!)

I never claimed you called anyone a hater.
I simply said that I don't know enough, or care, to hate you.

I can only speak for myself. I post what I find is credible. Case in point- I totally ignored a thread about McCain collaborating with his Vietnamese captives. I couldn't find any credible reporting on that, so I didn't discuss it.

The link is not 'just' anti-Obama. It is filled with racist, hateful images. If that's what you're counting on to win the White House and keep the Bush legacy going another 4 years- well, that's pathetic.

Did I call OBAMA pathetic and stupid? Nope. Guess you can't understand argumentation. I called the choice stupid -- and it is. He is NOT equipped to handle the office without ANY sort of chief executive experience. If America was prospering and we weren't at war, I might be willing to give him a chance. At THIS TIME? Heck, no. That's reckless.

Btw, since you're so impressed with the Ivy League, apparently, I should remind you that Bush is a Yale grad. The stamp on the sheepskin doesn't mean much in the real world.

I can't give you any more rep just now...

This thread is extremely illustrative of the cultural divide that exists in this country. Elitists vs. Joe six Pack. The McCain campaign is really playing on that.

Sweetie, what possible evidence do you have that Obama would be assasinated?

It is statistically probable that McCain will die sooner than a younger man. I don't wish it on him or anyone else. That's all I have to say on that, darling.

No, you co-opted MY response to someone who accused us of hate, saying it spoke for you, implying that I accused you of hate. Perhaps you need to think and reason before typing "ditto."
