Pshaw. "Talking good" has always been the bar for elections of any sort.
It was the same for the Greeks, it was the same before TV, etc.
Chief Justice Peabody, no?

AH made that one too easy...
So why did McCain get the nomination?
It may be straight talk, but it is notably boring.
5) Hillary message board= Spursreport
Obama message board= Spurstalk.
Anything remotely negative or controversial on the Hillary message board is immediately wiped. There is little intelligent conversation about, well, anything. It is kinda scary.
The Obama message board on the other hand is much more loosely moderated, and although they try to keep a lot of profanity out, they tolerate debate and conversation.
I haven't tried the McCain message board, if indeed he even has one, yet.
I think McCain is a pretty fair speaker.
McCain got the nomination because he isn't a mormon.
"It may be straight talk"
Holy Bull .
The Straight Talk Express and maverick are myths long ago dispelled.
Right. Conservatives = fascists.
Heard that one before ...
the market has never been higher in history.
Why I am voting Republican.
We are the United States of America.. Not the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics... Obama will lose. Republicans will come out in droves.
That's wishful thinking. If this were 1980 or 84, with a strong conservative running against effete Democratic wusses (Carter, Mon-dull), then yeah, we'd be looking at a landslide.
But this is 2008. The Democrats have nominated another milquetoast who's weak on foreign defense, whose resume consists almost entirely of lefty activism, and won't deliver Catholics or religious Democrat vote. But we don't have a strong candidate ourselves. Best case scenario, this turns out to be 1988, where the establishment Repub beats down the weak Democrat.
Worst case -- this is 1976, where the weak Democrat beats the establishment Repub.
or it could be 2004 where the most hated republican ever beats the great democrat... then republicans say no, and vote..
Seems just as valid as Liberals = Marxists.
Joe can you cite just one time that he has worked with the
Republicans. Work with other Congressmen, my foot.
He votes a yellow dog dimm-o-crap agenda all the time.
He is an empty suit with a socialist agenda. The only thing
he has going for him his is ability to deliver a speech with
a teleprompter helping him. Otherwise he can't speak one
sentence without stuttering.
Your are like the old song: "He has me under a spell".
No . How ing stupid and ignorant can you be to say some weak bull like thisSeems just as valid as Liberals = Marxists.
Maybe, except Kerry wasn't exactly a great candidate himself. He was yet another educated, erudite, lefty -- just like what Democrats always send to the general. If they had sent Clinton in 04, they might have won it.
Dumbass.
Obama passed legislation with Republican Senator Jim Talent to give gas stations a tax credit for installing E85 ethanol refueling pumps. The tax credit covers 30 percent of the costs of switching one or more traditional petroleum pumps to E85, which is an 85 percent ethanol/15 percent gasoline blend.
His first law was passed with Republican Tom Coburn, a measure to rebuild trust in government by allowing every American to go online and see how and where every dime of their tax dollars is spent.
He traveled to Russia with Republican Lugar to begin a new generation of non-proliferation efforts designed to find and secure deadly weapons around the world.
It appears you know even less about socialism vs. democracy than you do about Obama's legislation record.
At least he doesn't up WITH the help of a teleprompter
You're a ing dunce ray.
He put his name on a bill as a sponsor. That isn't working
with Republicans.
And if you keep saying nasty things about me, you are going to hurt my feelings. And I will hide your stash.
I suppose you think you live in a democracy.
I will have to compliment you on you on being bi-lingual.
You speak profane almost as good as boutons, are you
all running buddies?
Don't haggle over common hyperbole.
Here's what I understand about radical Islam: Submit to Allah or die. I prefer to live without submitting to the goddamn Tooth Fairy or any other "deity", so radical Islam must be reigned in before it spreads across the face of the planet, erasing progress and equality in the process.yeah, lets pick the dumb guy that doesn't understand the muslim and arab world.
Obama equivocates too much for me. I have no doubt that he would consider Sharia law to be "an alternative philosophy" instead of "an abomination to humanity", as it should be known.
Yeah, Russia, China, France, and Venezuela (amongst hundreds of others) have all kinds of credibility when it comes to lecturing us about how to behave.obama can restore our country's image, before the world gets fed up and unites against us.
Wondering how it looks to the rest of the world, when considering a foreign policy decision, is the last thing any nation needs to consider. "What if they don't like us??" What, are we in high school here?
We certainly need to deal with Islam, which is, as I've discussed before, is as much a political system as it is a religion. It does not play well with democracy, as our friends in Europe are figuring out now. And it's naive to think that they'll be open to our notions of freedom and human rights, and at the same time still be Moslem. It can't happen.
you could have just said you were a dumbass that thinks radical islam is a place on the map.
i have no doubt that you're an idiot. why don't you crawl back into your trailer with banjo, duct tape and plastic. you can sit this one out.Obama equivocates too much for me. I have no doubt that he would consider Sharia law to be "an alternative philosophy" instead of "an abomination to humanity", as it should be known.
boy blunder looked into putin's eyes and fell in love.Yeah, Russia, China, France, and Venezuela (amongst hundreds of others) have all kinds of credibility when it comes to lecturing us about how to behave.![]()
china is our new sugar daddy, watch your mouth.
france? good food, overall, a great vacation.
why do you care about chavez?
if not, you should go back and learn something about diplomacy.Wondering how it looks to the rest of the world, when considering a foreign policy decision, is the last thing any nation needs to consider. "What if they don't like us??" What, are we in high school here?
That seems to be a valid point. I don't see guys like Obama calling sharia what it is. To postmoderns like him, all these differing philosophies are equally valid if they give the believers meaning in life, good feelings, etc.
I'm do not believe that sharia has much of a future in the States. Americans are far too independent and tolerant to allow much of that. Its our friends in Europe, however, that could well experience an Islamic takeover, maybe within the next 2-3 decades.
I'm not saying he hasn't gotten a lot of small donations, but of course I'm not expecting Obamasuckers like yourself to admit that your hero incarnate is flawed either...
