I agree. Making fun of someone's cancer diagnosis. That's pretty out there. I don't understand how a candidate like Obama who is running on a campaign of unity, and concern for his fellow person attracts such vitriolic supporters.

Making fun of? Are you smoking pipe? I'm just being pragmatic. You must seriously consider his running mate as well. Cheney has proven that the VP can be a serious contender...

Yeah, the things SOME of these Obama "so called supporters" say sound nothing like Obama does and what he says he stands for.

There is a way to be pragmatic, you chose to be denigrating. Perhaps a little decorum in your words would suit you. Rather than call someone decrepit you could say that you are concerned about his health.

But I'm not concerned about his health... Why must I lie and window dress practicality and reality? The man is old. The man looks sickly. The man may seen croak. Make your vote count. If you go right, choose a real fiscal conservative. Vote Ron Paul... he has aged considerably better

Moot. I am however compassionate about the millions of innocents McCain has voted to execute via occupation in Iraq... most of whom are much younger and have lived rather unfulfilled lives; however inadvertent his actions may be.

On another note:

Holy bejebus do people love to hate on a well spoken politician that inspires people and unifies if only because of his multi ethnic background. Pakistanis like him... Europe loves him and the Middle East may smoke a hookah with him. Just say no to the illumanati Anglo Saxon brotherhoood... try something different; it would be a first. So what if he doesn't have the alleged prerequisite experience of every other cronies that has bastardized executive authority. The more I here people talk about what they deem as lack of experience, the more I wanna vote for the man, just to prove the naysayers wrong when he 180s f'ed up country. But no, that won't happen because the cynics will still find some controversy.

Heaven forbid he has a better education than most... and then be elected into the senate. What a snob! HOW DARE HE!! You Obama haters are wacko... If if McCain were a solid non flip flopping candidate, the guy probably only has a couple more years before his bubbly disproportionate cheek falls off and he croaks from one of many ailments he must surely have to look that decrepit.

Bush will some day (if not already) be known as the worst president in U.S. history and he had plenty of political experience prior to the White House. So I say, where is the point of the statement 'he lacks experience'. Hell... you probably could have accomplished screwing up this economy less than Bush has.
learn your history, reading is fundamental.

Noone know anything about Obama yet they want him for President.
If he's elected we will all regret finding out his real goals.
