Seriously, what issues are you trying to debate? And where have you posited any argument that's out of the ordinary, or used credible citations? You keep insisting you want to debate something, but your posts and threads indicate you just want to bash Barack Obama.

I think you need to go debate Sarah Palin and prep us all for Thursday night.

Oh, give me a break! She's uninformed, period. And she's not supposed to be the one at the top of the ticket. One would assume she was chosen b/c her views are similar to McCain's. It would be nice if she could speak coherently, which she seems not to be able to do w/o a script.

A few points.

1) McCain being too old is just an observation after a long list of reasons why he isn't suited to succeed the village idiot as the leader of this country.

2) Race is indeed a great factor in this election because Obama is black. Many very backwards people will emerge to do their best to keep that black man from running the country. The country is racially divided with many whites still fighting the civil war. Shameful, but that's reality. Hopefully, there are enough enlightened people who can offset this backwards segment.

3) Stop what you're drinking because this is all Bush's fault. Bush has had 8 years. He's had the benefit of hindsight, more so than any previous president. Yet this village idiot LIED to commit this country to a failed war, wasting billions. George Bush and the neocons created an environment making it more likely for such economic failures to occur. They certainly didn't create solutions to prevent it from happening. They didn't put in an improved economic system. They didn't revamp the housing, lending system. They have failed the american people. Get real. Red states were all wrong. Neocons were all wrong. Now we know that and all those people who voted for Bush in '04 WERE ALL WRONG. This is why this is Obama's year. Enough of this nonsense.

4) Palin is a Lark. She's racist, cocky in her ignorance, and misguided because she is a Conservative. I don't support pompous, arrogant incompetent people. She has absolutely no business being where she is and her presence offends. Suddenly with Palin, the office of the president seems like something out of the Cartoon Network. Whatever happened to the incredible dignity, majestic ambiance, and stately power that was the office of the president and the vp? Palin is the opposite of how these positions have traditionally been viewed. She's pathetic and belongs just where she was. As the governor of a remote state that nobody hears about or gives a damn about. She should not be in the spotlight any more than that toothless, bearded mountain guy from "Deliverance." In a few weeks, she will be back there, thank God.

So your sentiments here are misguided.

Yeah, me, too - one uncle died. My father, my brother, my cousins, my uncles....they all went.

And, I can damn well say whatever I please no matter who it offends!!

The economy is based on the following:

Public Policy: Bush has basically eliminated anti trust and regulations allowing greed to to take over (government needs to protect us from ourselves)

Faith: We have lost trust in our leader and expect the worst

Government Spending: Our budget is going towards war and defense, instead of infrastructure, education and social services. This has destroyed our economy. Our trade and budget deficit is also killing us.

Bush has destroyed the economy and he has been doing so for 8 years!
