  OK, I'm a Sap, I Admit It

  senorplain you can't help it can you? LOL...

  (Guilty.)

  why did you respond to me if you really didn't want to feed me? LOL...

  (I'm in a bad mood, and when I am, I like to amuse myself by debating half-wits just to get my ire up. It's an unfortunate character flaw, I admit, like when I tune in Rush just to get annoyed.)

  Seriously, I am waiting for your arguments against mine but I am not holding your breath. You have none, ad hominem is the easiest way out for a cultist.

  (If you're going to call out people for sloppy spelling and grammar, seems you lose your argument if you don't respond in kind. The phrase is "I'm not holding MY breath." Just sayin.)

  As to your arguments, what, that you think that blacks only vote for black candidates? That can be shown to be demonstrably untrue. (Where was all the support for Al Sharpton four years ago?)

  So what's left of your argument? That if Obama were white, he wouldn't have won? I guess we'll never know, but I doubt it. Edwards isn't a fair comparison, because he was somewhat tainted goods from 2004 and he couldn't come close to Obama in terms of connecting ground-roots support or in fund-raising. Plus, his speeches, while good, didn't have nearly the hair-raising effect as Obama's. I just think based on previous campaigns that a white Obama, same campaign, same policies, same ability to inspire (whether you personally choose to buy into it or not is irrelevant), routs Clinton. JMHO.

  And if you're so superior to us "cultists," Ahab (look it up; you're smart), at least have the courtesy to address me by my proper fake name.
