I don't assume without data. Life expectancy for American men is 77.6 years, says the CDC, using numbers from 2003. mebmd.com

You presume, quite sweepingly, as to whom my heroes are.

Really? When did I call y'all "haters" or is this coming from a liberal persecution complex?

By all means. I don't post hate site links, though.

If you haven't noticed, your fellow Dems spread all kinds of vicious lies and rumors about McCain and Palin. And I didn't see any lies and rumors I was spreading. I posted a link to a site that is anti-Obama. There are lots of things we don't like about Obama. we don't have to resort to rumors and lies.

And while I am sure that similar ones exist with regards to McCain, I am glad that I can justify voting against him without lowering myself to the level of the OP.
Me thinks your response was hateful towards the OP

-2 points for being a hypercrite

Maybe it's a "hate site link" to you because you are for Obama. To me it's called TRUTH. I don't see anything on there that is not true. If you do, what proof do you have?

Then explain why you posted a whack job web site which contains content that falls within the legal definition of hate speech.

Sorry, hon, but you're still assuming unless you can point to "data" that states the vast majority of American men live to be exactly 77.6 years. Besides that, I would venture, from history, that Obama has a greater chance of being assassinated than McCain would have of dying during his first term. You don't mention that, though.

Oh give me a break! After all the silly, ridiculous, outrageous things you Dems have posted on this board you are going to tell me my link is a "less than legitimate source"? And the Huffington Post is a legitimate source?

Please tell me that was a star wars reference.
That's what I took it as - had a decent chuckle.
