What life experience are you talking about? Flying bombers? or being some trial lawyer? summer work at 7-11?

Hillary Clinton on the Issues

Barack Obama on the Issues

Go ahead and read both all the way through. See for yourself.

I'm not even going to take that seriously. I bet if you didn't know that I was black, you would've pulled the race card already.

And if they were the same on all issues, you wouldn't see criticisms of each candidates' supporters, would you? Not unless they hate the candidate for non-political reasons.

And I've said before I don't even like Hillary. I'm not even voting for her. I'm doing a write-in this year because the 3 candidates we have in the public eye are all pretty bad. I would just prefer Hillary over Obama if those were the only two choices. Fortunately, we can do write-in votes, so I won't have to pick between the two nominees only.

Go ahead, accuse me of having something personal against Obama. I know it's coming, so just get it over with.

Hey, you won't hear any accusations from me. Voting is something you decide with your brain. You clearly use yours. A vote is also a very personal decision, so I don't have a problem if you have something personal against Obama. You've put sincere thought into your decision, that's what counts. IMO.

By the way, who are you writing in?

Dr. Ron Paul.

I have nothing against Obama. I just don't agree with a lot of the things he says.

LOL, of course you would. It's human nature.

Well, then you've done the right thing. All of us should be choosing a candidate for that reason, and for that reason alone: Because we agree with a lot of the things he says.

Too bad there are other people who don't think so.

Yes. All of that is life experience. The quality and the quantity of Obama's compared to either Hillary's or McCain's falls short.

Aside from Clinton and McCain having more years on earth than Obama, neither of them spent years smoking pot and doing drugs trying to find themselves.

How does that differenciate you from Hillary's supporters - you both seen to be living some sort of a fantasy thinking that your candidates are somewhat still viable. The truth is Hillary and Ron Paul lost the nominating contests - if you wanna bragg about their positions and electability, just wait until the next election year.

Please tell me you're not serious.

I laughed through your whole post.
