Experience is a stupid way to choose a president. Remember, when W was running, he had the most experienced group around him ever, and what did they do? Almost destroy the US.
W had no judgement, no experience, plus he is a total moron.
Obama has shown a huge amount of good judgement thus far. He came out early against the war. He hired good people for his campaign, and ran a masterful campaign.
If you have a lawsuit, you don't get a law degree. You hire a lawyer.
If you have a medical problem, you don't get a medical degree. You see a doctor.
If you need experience, you can't get it right away. You hire it. Obama has shown EXTREMELY GOOD JUDGEMENT in hiring experienced people.
He will make a great President.
He has more experience than Lincoln, about as much as JFK, about as much as Reagan, about as much as FDR, about as much as TR.
Experience is overrated. In this case, it is usually raised if you are a racist.
Obama supposedly has a corrupt friend.
Mccain is way beyond corrupt. In at least 2 cases, he has helped BILLIONAIRE developers commit MASSIVE FRAUD on the public with land swaps. In a land swap, you trade worthless shit land for high value land previously part of the public land trust.
In one case, McCain allowed this to happen with more than 8000 acres.
this is more than corrupt. This should put him in JAIL for 20-30 years. It's THEFT FROM ME.
"The women's movement is about a hell of a lot more than just Roe v. Wade. It won't die if Roe v. Wade is overturned, it will gain energy and action at a grassroots level."
Look, ASSHOLE, real feminists have been trying to support RvW for 40 years. Stupid morons like you think you can take choice for granted. Me, I don't give a shit-I'm a guy, and support choice because it is right.
Let me be very very very clear. For guys like me, if Obama goes down due to stupid bitch femimorons who love Hillary, I will NEVER support feminist causes again.
You don't support feminism, I could give a shit.
"Obama is far-left" a glib fat-headed statement made by total morons. Admittedly, Obama is left of the current center. But, no, he is NOT far-left. And if you, like indigo, are stupid enough to believe that shit about Obama being the most liberal senator today in the Senate you really are stupid, like indigo.
In point of fact, Obama is the same as Clinton left-wise. He is right in the middle of the Democratic pack. At least 10 senators are more left than him - Sanders, Feingold, Kennedy, Schumer, Brown are all more left than Obama.
So, stop with the moronic shit, please, indigo. it just makes you look stupider.
Some moron quoting Ken Blackwell, one of the real scumbags in political life today.
Why would ANYONE quote such a piece of shit as Ken Blackwell?
I don't refute Rush Limbaugh. I don't refute Ken Blackwell. I don't refute Tom Delay. I don't refute Newt Gingrich.
These people do not offer serious arguments. They offer Republican shit points. If you try to refute them, you are totally confused about the real world.
Ken Blackwell is one of the most disgusting persons in Ohio. While SoS, he BLANTANTLY manipulated the voter registration system, and has lost all credibility.
Blackwell's thesis is the stupid, moronic point that Obama is the "most liberal" senator. This is a stupid point, because it is not true. He is less liberal than Sanders, Kennedy, Feingold, Brown. Hell, even Arlen Spector is more liberal than Obama in some ways.
He is EXACTLY THE SAME as Hillary.
You support Hillary. So, if they are the same, Hillary is also the most liberal senator.
It's just a stupid point. The fact is, all democrats are very liberal on some issues and not liberal on others. That's too complicated for you, indigo, because you're a shallow, glib reactive poster.
Obama is certainly more liberal than Tom Coburn, and yet they submitted a bill this morning as co-sponsors. If Obama was that liberal, Coburn would not be on the bill with him.
"These days FOXnews got better ratings than CNN and MSNBC because people view them as more fair and balanced. And I agree. These days I have more respect for Hanity than Keith Olbermann or Chris Matthees. The network at least gives both sides of the opposing views, unlike CNN and forget MSNBC, the obama cheerleading network!
When you find yourself agreeing with Ann Coulter on some of the issues, you realize that things are not as black and white as the far-let or right-wing nuts would like us to believe."
Anyone who believes anything that Ann Coulter says is not just a total wacko moron, but is probably clinically insane. Ann Coulter is just a bomb-thrower. If you believe Hannity (not correct spelling, BTW), again, you are deranged. These are not serious people. They make political charges that are false when they are made, and the person making the points knows that they are false.
It's called "whack-a-mole". It is an argumentation strategy used by liars and false pundits. Here's the method: You make a charge which is false. The other side thinks, "I must refute that." So, they try. The charge is totally insanely stupid ("Obama is the most liberal senator") than only a really dumb person would even consider it, but if you try to respond, you lose ground. Because the right is good at bringing up stupid charges, especially if credulous, weak-minded people consider them to be worth refuting.
Ignore these idiots. You only encourage them.
