No red flags there.

Hmmm. Sort of selective red flags, aren't they? What will you do if it turns out to be true? What if McCain turns out to be a brainwashed Manchurian Candidate and you have to realize that you voted to turn our country over to hime? I don't KNOW that he is but I'm just sayin'.......

I would say the hardliners on both sides are pretty scary.
Actually, yes. They are both mobs. I accidentally went to a liberal forum and I was slashed left and right by the Obama supporters.

No point in arguing with these. . . um. . . folks. JMO.

My red flags for McCain are his age and health. He may not last long.

It's true. We libs run toward the sarcastic, and can be right snots in our replies, but we don't usually talk about killing one another (or anybody else). The Conservative Reich seems to be a rather violent bunch. We poke fun, cut up, accuse candidates of being stupid or even dangerous...but we don't hope they'll die. (We suspect McCain will and fear it on the now-off chance that he should be elected, for obvious reasons...but it's sure sh * te nobody's wishing it.)

For instance, on the subject of abortion, there has been a lot of back-and-forth and a tremendous amount of passion. But only from the right will you hear, "Oh yeah? Well you should have BEEN an abortion." (Yes, that was said directly to me right here on this forum, which is why it stands out for me.)

I do see a good deal more violence, and tolerance for violence, in the right than the left.

Probably the oddest part of all is that the right will often make up, from their own violent ideas, things that they say we do or want. "Oh, if terrorists struck and Americans were killed, Dems would be CHEERING!" Um, no...and what the hell makes you think such a thing? It's a little bizarre.

Oh you should read what the liberals say in YouTube if McCain wins. (chilling/scary)

"At that, Palin supporters turned on reporters in the press area, waving thunder sticks and shouting abuse. Others hurled obscenities at a camera crew. One Palin supporter shouted a racial epithet at an African American sound man for a network and told him, "Sit down, boy.""

Gotta love 'em.

Well then...we already KNOW that Sara has ties to a sessionist party. They curse America and urge Alaskans to renounce their alliegience to our country. And we KNOW that Sara spend more time talking about Alaska then she ever spends talking about the UNITED States. So maybe she is a secret sessionit who has been put in place to break apart the union and give Alaska independence. Who knows? It could be true. Can you prove it isn't? She certainly has VERY close personal ties to this party that hates America.
