		<description>On second thoughts, you&#039;re right Beau, I concede. Life it too short for this. I should have argued more coherently.

Goodbye.</description>

		<description>I ain&#039;t going nowhere.

I hope I am wrong about the undecided voters, I really do, a lot depends on them. I actually found this article which gives me hope that Ali is right:

http://www.tampabay.com/news/politics/state/article818181.ece            

I&#039;ll apologies to CJ, no problem. Sorry.

That article also gave me hope that all Hillary supporters are not as, erm, passionate, as Ali.

As for as my being licked goes. I said a dumb thing, so that means Palin is a good candidate for the presidency, Obama is a shady backstabbing inarticulate crook and the Republican party, who have proven themselves to be disastrous on just about every front over the past 8 years deserves our votes?

I&#039;ll concede to losing the debate if someone will just speak some sense to me. Why did CJ &amp; Petitedove become Republicans when the Republican party lost its moral center and became a mouthpiece for the religious right? And what is the psychology of these Hillary women who can drop all Hillary stood for just because Hillary herself is not doing the standing? I&#039;m off point, I know, I am rubbish at debating, but these are the questions that keep me posting. If someone will answer them for me, make me understand, I&#039;ll go outside, I promise.</description>

		<description>Rephrase it? I&#039;d retract it. Then maybe apologise. But I wouldn&#039;t have said it in the first place.

Cretin old son you have been royally licked. Despite the marital tag-team approach, you&#039;ve been hung out to dry. Not even your most ardent admirer (and I count myself among them) should tell you otherwise.

Get out of the house, chuck a ball around a little bit, take some photos... your race is run, sir.</description>

		<description>Okay, I&#039;ll rephrase that a little. Many of them clearly are. And if racist is too strong a term, let&#039;s just say their uneasiness has a lot to do with Barack&#039;s perceived &#039;otherness.&#039;</description>

&#039;The Ã¢â‚¬Å“undecidedsÃ¢â‚¬Â in this race clearly are racists.&#039;

LOL. That is so absurd.</description>

		<description>I am so shocked and upset by you people. Intelligent well meaning people voting for McCain/Palin with all there is at stake in this election. It is beyond my comprehension.

The &quot;undecideds&quot; in this race clearly are racists. Nobody in their right mind could dispute that if Obama were white, he&#039;d be way up in the polls. Or that those menacing ads of McCains have no racial subtext. Even Hillary used his race with her - &quot;he&#039;s not a closet Muslim, as far as I know.&quot; I shouldn&#039;t have accused CJ of being racist I&#039;ll admit, he gave no provocation for this. I was a bit mad when I wrote that comment and wasn&#039;t thinking straight.

I didn&#039;t send that link to back up my position. Just to show McCain&#039;s latest sleazy ad. He has no chance if he&#039;s talking about the issues, so he&#039;s back to demonizing Obama. Obama, like every other candidate in history, has a few skeletons in his closet. So what? Why aren&#039;t you banging on about the Keating Five or friggin&#039; troopergate if this is the kind of thing you care about? Obama&#039;s murky past just isn&#039;t that murky, I have checked, I have researched, (thank you CJ, I performed my due diligence), and my conclusion? His past just isn&#039;t that murky.

He wasn&#039;t playing cricket when he got Alice Palmer taken off the ticket, I&#039;ll grant you that. It was a bit sly. But it was also within the rules. There were allegedly a lot of false signatures on those ballots, so what he did wasn&#039;t necessarily even that questionable. All other accusations against him relate to shady acquaintances from his past. Nothing damning has ever been proved, it&#039;s all a load of hearsay. Well I have had shady acquaintances in my past, and guess what? I am not shady. Who the hell hasn&#039;t? Certainly not his opponents. 

I don&#039;t provide evidence because it is fruitless. If I sit here and google for a few hours I&#039;ll no doubt find lots of links to back up my position. You can find evidence to back up any position. I can&#039;t be bothered playing that game, life is too short. One thing is for certain though, nobody has been able to provide me with any links to convincing evidence against him. 

Palin? You think it&#039;s okay for her to be president as early as next January? You think that because the best candidate with the best policies and an actual vision for the future of this country has the usual skeletons in his closet we should vote for Bush 2 and Bush in drag? Please, somebody help me, I am losing my mind here?

By saying I am attacking Palin&#039;s appearance you are suggesting I am being sexist. I said I hated her false smile; I have been saying that about Bush for 8 years. So if you must make leaps like this, please suggest I am a misanthrope, not a misogynist.

One last thing I should clarify. I can see how it might get a bit annoying, my calling Palin an idiot over and over and never justifying this insult. Let me try and define idiot as I use the term. Here&#039;s an example:

Biblical literalist = Idiot

There you go. If you need anything else, let me know and I&#039;ll try and come up with some more examples. I am not referring to her IQ. There are no doubt plenty of psychotics with very high IQs. Though if Sarah Palin&#039;s is 150+ I&#039;d still happily eat my hat.</description>

		<description>I find it interesting that the two people who are critical/skeptical of Obama provide facts and arguments to back up their points and the people who support Obama offer vague descriptions, links to articles that don&#039;t support their point views, and right out ad hominem attack, (CJ is a racist!). 

BTW the article you link about the Mcain ad, just proves that Obama is associated with three corrupt people, instead of four in Chicago! That&#039;s a huge difference. /sarcasm. 

Although I&#039;m not as articulate as CJ, I am also a former Democrat. I will vote for Mcain and I find Obama to be an empty  suit (at best), who doesn&#039;t even speak well. Have you heard him speak off the cuff? He tends to use a lot of &quot;uhs&quot; and often sounds befuddled. Not that it matters....just keep in mind that Bush isn&#039;t the only one who has problems speaking publicly,
Despite what you think of Palin she leads from the center and knows how to work with the Democrats. I can understand you don&#039;t like her policies and that&#039;s all there is to your argument, that and nasty comments about her appearance. If it was proved to you that she had the IQ of 150 you would still call her an idiot.</description>

		<description>If this new ad of McCain&#039;s works:

http://newsblogs.chicagotribune.com/clout_st/2008/09/mccain-ad-takes.html

You could get what you seem to want. 4 more years of total misery for the entire nation, maybe even WW3, and another shot for Hillary. A politician with enough corruption in her past to fill entire books.

Perhaps it will please you to know that I&#039;d vote for her in 2012. Her policies are very much like Obama&#039;s after all. And I don&#039;t care what sex a candidate is.</description>

		<description>OMG, that&#039;s so funny. I call Obama the democrat&#039;s version of Bush. He sure knows how to steal an election;)

I would have loved Lieberman as a VP choice, too. Unfortunately, he doesn&#039;t have the &quot;presence&quot; to compete with someone like Obama. Palin does. And we know how Americans vote - personality.</description>
