Just remember .........payback is a !
I caucused for Hilary tonight.. I came across some rude obama folks... I wanted to remind them that they still needed my vote for thier guyto be Pres.. but if they were to stupid to figure that out maybe they shouldn't be voting..
I am leading towards McCain if Obama wins...
same here or may just not vote at all in this election
You're voting for McCain because a couple of Obama supporters were rude to you?
Pathetic.
Maye I trust McCain more than Obama? Possible?
I saw your other thread and asked you for your reasoning. You said you liked McCain. Fine.
But what is wrong with Obama that he is less trustworthy than McCain?
Uh, he's been busted in a big lie?
Since the beginning of the Dem race my underlying thought about Obama was of his inexperience.. I think very highly of him but I think he would have been beter off being somone's VP candidate... I trust Mcain's judgement as opposed to Obama's..now I would feel completely different if a hard core right winger were the GOP nominee..As I said I would rather have a republican lite president and dem controlled congress. It's not good for the country when one party controls all three branches..
So has McCain. Several times.
Listen, I am genuinely curious to learn about GGA's reasoning. Considering that I am in the reverse position (would for McCain if Hilary is the nominee), I want to know what is behind his reasoning. It's genuinely the first I have heard of someone switching to McCain if Obama became the nominee. I've heard of plenty who would do as I do and plenty who would switch from McCain to Obama, but this is a first.
So I am a genuinely curious. Therefore, I would appreciate to not observe any partisan hackry from you, sir.
Thank you for your response.
I think the primary reason why I support Clinton is that I trust her judgement more than I trust McCain's judgement...of course if she wins the presidency then the dems would control all three branches... back to square one..I am really torn about this whole process
Although, I must say that traditionally the government has worked best when the Presidency is controlled by a Democrat and the Congress controlled by a Republican. In terms of fiscal responsibility and balancing budgets I mean. We've run up deficits every Republican presidency since Reagan. I consider Reagan to be the death of the old fiscal conservative Republican party. His was the birth of the Moral Majority crap that runs against the very fiber of a libertarian at heart. And that was when I was wee little kid. Sad.
See there in lies the problem. That Obama commercial perfectly addressed this. What good is all the experience in the world if you don't have good judgement to go along with it. She has made misjudgements before. So has Obama. So has McCain. Experience means diddly squat when they all make similar mistakes. It's each candidate's ability to accept that mistake as a true mistake that differentiates these candidates from our current president. So, there is at least hope in that aspect, right?
As long as McCain follows prudent fiscal policy and reduces the deficit, I have no qualms. I am just too weary that these last 8 years he has shown a willingness to tow the party line above his better judgement. That is my fear with McCain.
My god, what a president McCain would have made in 2000! Before he got brainwashed by the ing Moral Majority and the neo-cons. They beat the Old GOP out of him.
So you agree with her "judgment" on the only significant foreign policy decision she's ever been involved with...the authorization of the Iraq war.
Like every other democrat who voted for the war she trusted bush and what he told her. she has since said she wouldn't do it again if asked..anything else?
Yes. Pretty much the only good thing about her, she understands the nature of the war and the stakes.
So because other Democrats were (and still are) political cowards it ok? Perhaps it's was her "years of experience" that gave here a pass to actually read through the intelligence report before voting.
So are you inferring that Obama is 100% perfect? Are we going to now look for a candidate that is 100% right all of the time? I guess Democrats are cowards now for voting for the war..speaking of experience what is obama's exactly? Since you brought it up I assume you can provide some of Obama's..are you one of those fainters?
I didn't vote for Obama based on experience. I voted for him based on character and judgement. You are the one who has to explain Hillary Clinton's "experience" to me. 8 years as a Senator + 8 years as Bill's wife does not equal Joe Biden, or Chris Dodd, or even Bill Richardson.So are you inferring that Obama is 100% perfect? Are we going to now look for a candidate that is 100% right all of the time? I guess Democrats are cowards now for voting for the war..
I voted for Clinton based on her character and judgement.. she is 60 yrs old and by that alone she has 12 more years of life experience.. she is tough and disciplined. she is a leader.. so is McCain...
I see. Everyone who votes for Obama is a fainter.
If you wanna go ad hominem...
Are you one of those Clinton racists?http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_p...d-clinton.aspx
I just noticed something really interesting from that CNN exit poll I mentioned below. One question asked if the candidate's gender was important. 17% said yes, and of them, Clinton won 57-43. So voters who wanted a female candidate outnumbered those who did not. Another question asked if the candidate's race was important. 20% said yes, and of those, Clinton again won 57-43. So voters who did not want a black candidate outnumbered those who did. Race and gender both seemed to cut in Clinton's favor -- which may not be a shock, since whites and females outnumbered blacks and males.
In both questions, voters who did not care about race or gender split evenly. Clinton's winning margin -- assuming the exits hold up, and it is close enough that maybe it won't -- came from the pro-female, anti-black (or, I guess, anti-male, pro-white) vote.

So it's all about age? So skip Clinton all together and vote McCain.
btw, just out of curiosity, are you of the Baby Boomer generation?
Tough? Yes.
Disciplined? Not apparent in her campaign so far...
