OK, I'm kinda dumb so I want to make sure I got this right. Obama supporters good, McCain supporters bad. I guess now I know why liberals think their views on issues are much more nuanced and complicated than conservatives.

I don't know CIndy's situation, but I hope she will be fine. Frankly I don't think any of these things matter as much as policy, which is something Obama has centered on better than his competitors. He compares policy, and rarely jumps on something unrelated to policy. This way we really see the differences in the candidates without the mask of unimportant information like lies and smear. I wish both candidates good health, and I think they both truly want the best for america. I simply think Obama better fits my idea of what is best.

Each campaign has its fanatics. I wish Cindy McCain well in her recovery. The media and people pay too much attention to the nit-picky things and focus on the real issues.

2Adam29, a great comment with a degree of truth to it. Keep up the good work.

I think it will make a difference come election time.

Generally people are tired of the same old mud slinging politics.
So the high road for dems includes a blogsite (Daily Kos, that hosted a debate no less) accusing Cindy of faking injury to get painkillers? So thats what the high road looks like for Dems. Now I know.

The poster was making direct reference to a thread posted here when Obama was injured (that I linked earlier in the thread), if you bothered reading it all the way through, you would get it.

The only "presidential candidate" I ever mocked for an injury was Stephen Colbert who hurt himself skipping around his desk.

Sounds like how the unpoplular kids in high school get together to buck each other up by saying how "evil" the popular kids are.

Also, if you want to see a load of hateful crap, look at old posts on demunderground or the dailykos when Tony Snow died. Awwwwwwe...you libs are indeed so evolved and caring. What a load.
Thank you! Now let them go get another glass of koolaide.
