We'll go, got to get a handle on whats brewing this fall. I havent had a bass since mid-July. Lets look towards the next few weekends.

TO respond to your post, I truly cannot understand my hatred for the left. I do not disagree with them on all issues. I think they have created an environement where they tell everyone how bad things are just to create a need to themselves.

BTW -
I think Palin on Gibson was pretty lame, cant beleive you guys havent jumped all over that yet. My wife and I had a few beers and watched Obama and McCain on the Service forum. I tried to watch with an open mind, but we were both in awe of how Obama never answers a single question, he goes off on these rambles which arent even connected to the question. It was almost embarrasing to watch.McCain had straight answers to every question.

I'm pretty sure BOTH sides do this.....If I'm not mistaken we are in Iraq under the same type of pretenses.

I would bet money that Palin was told to answer simple yes or no answers after she was givin a long list of possible questions with the answers yes and no attached to them..

No matter what happens, I hope and and am pretty sure that McCain and Palin will be better than Bush and Cheeny

Well actually, Jim. I thought there were some questions that she entertained that she should not have answered. There were some hypothetical propositions in that interview she just should not have committed to, simply because they are hypothetical. Any veteran politician knows that. It was like she crammed for an essay exam; her responses were ambiguous, repetitive and she seemed nervous at times. On the other hand, if there is anything that I walked away, after watching that interview, it clear that Gibson is far more knowledgeable of foreign policy than McCains VP. On the other hand Palin () needs to buy a handbook on critical argumentation.

I agree, he was quizzing and she was semi-answering...
Done with her for a while.
Waiting for a debate or for her to say something (other than name drop who she called in Georgia last week)) to talk about her again.

Done with you too..
You asked me Bidens positions.
I took time out of MY busy day to answer and you never responded

I can help you understand. You have allowed yourself to buy into the hype and propaganda.

At least you can admit you don't have all your marbles, this is a good first step.

But the Republicans do just the same using scare tactics so people don't think about the details. They completely pimped the WOT in 2002 and 2004 to win seats in Congress by making you think you were about to die.

Remember #^&#^&#^&#^& Cheney stating directly that a vote for Kerry could induce another terrorist attack?

I watched some clips and I'm quite surprised she didn't have a clue on the Bush Doctrine question. I know her foreign policy is weak but the fight against Islamic terror is the defining issue of our generation according to her campaign.

She also looked very green with her remarks on Georgia and NATO. Just because you were given a talking point doesn't mean you have the credibility to be flippantly talking about World War III
