How is Obama Different from His Sketchy Associations?

[bluesjuke]

You don't need any list, just look at whom he surrounds himself with just as he told us to if we want to know who he is.

Yes. I do. Your paper trail is an extensive one in this forum.

Alas... I do not belong to a party. So, you appear to be mistaken regarding the circle of people who see you as a radical.

You have no idea who I am. How can you begin to know that I have never met any of your friends? You seem to live in a world of assumptions and presumptions, and it is preventing you from grasping simple truth.

Everyone is honest to a point, and then everyone lies. The Pope. Mother Teresa. Abraham Lincoln. You. Your friends. Most serious people realize that truth by the time they reach puberty.

Our politicians lie because we demand it of them. We refuse to elect anybody who will not promise us the impossible. Therefore even the most honorable and selfless of politicians must lie in order to ever reach a position wherein they can influence events. How can I blame them for doing what we require them to do?

It is solely your fault if you believe the impossible promise and then are disappointed when it remains unfulfilled. I do not suffer from that handicap. I vote based on the possible promises, not the impossible ones, and not on the fictional slurs of irrational haters.

Certainly you can not honestly fantasize for a nanosecond that anything you wrote there can be taken seriously. I do not expect you to be honest with the rest of us on this board, but I do hope for your own sake you can be honest with yourself.

I have not noticed that at all. The difference between a post that offers disagreement and one that is simply hateful does not require the savant to discern.

Certainly. I will do so in this very post. It comes in just three more sentences.

de·test [dih-test] verb

1. to feel abhorrence of; hate; dislike intensely.

There you go. You have just explicitly announced your hatred for "party hardliners." You said you needed to know people in order to hate them. I think it fair to doubt your intimacy with all the "party hardliners" in the world. Yet that doesn't keep you from detesting them.

There is another word you should look up. "Hypocrite."

I voted for him because I personally know John McCain.

Food had nothing to do with it.
