But what does Obama have a deep knowledge of?

College hoops maybe.

All kidding aside. And im not ashamed to say that i lean to the left in most instances. But Paulenti (sp) and his comments about abortion are scary. Saying that not even in cases of rape should it be allowed. I know that during these type of debates its all about rah rah for your party but damn dude. Do you seriously think that having such a hard line on that subject will go over in a national election? Not a straw pole with a bunch of cow tippers. If Bachman made a statement like that i would at least respect her a bit since she has a VAGINA.

And who needs the EPA. I love my mercury and PCB's they never hurt anyone. I am always looking at more ways to add just a little more smog on those hot as a bastard days when they issue health warnings to the old and people with breathing problems. But hey, if it makes corporations more profitable it must be a good idea. Lower their taxes, relax environmental protections, maybe we can have air like beijing.

On the environment, and im just thinking on fisherman's terms. Lets take away regulations on pesticides so farms can be more profitable. The runoff heads to the Chesapeake and screws up the water more than it is now. Even lower spawning success of our beloved stripers. That would equal more time on S-B in the political forum, a place a rarely visit.

Rob no need to be ashamed of leaning left, everyone is entitled
to their opinion based on what is important to them.
Most important thing in the end is what's best for America and our
way of life. Extremes on either side are not good for the country,imho.

Like Slip said in the other tread what we need now is a Great Leader.
I don't see one anywhere on either side, but who knows.

Rob, you still making plugs? I remember you showing me your first
and it was a beaut.

Great leaders don't just show up with a "I'm destined to be a great leader" placard draped across their chest.....the current occupant is not anything resembling a leader and he's the most expensive, most overhyped candidate in history.....he's better at starting and fanning fires than putting them out(community organizer).....the opposition will fight it out and even then, there are no guarantees because unforseen future events will determine the "quality" of their leadership skills, it's foolish to do what the dems do each time they've crowned a saviour and build them up as the greatest, smartest most desirable ever....before they've ever been tested in any meaningful way, Obama had no leadership skills to begin with...hasn't developed any and won't.....every election season it's the same freaking thing...the republicans are boring and stupid....the dems are all brilliant policy wonks and masterdebaters, even Al Sharpton.....it's very early in the process

That's exactly why i said, " but who knows."

Some are born with the capacity to be great leaders and some
are made through adversity.
What we have now in office, is neither.

It's a litmus test.

Not a straw pole with a bunch of cow tippers.

Hey, speaking as an Iowan first and a Rhode Islander second I resent that remark. You have no idea how hard it is to actually tip a cow.

If Bachman made a statement like that i would at least respect her a bit since she has a VAGINA.

Seeing that word all in CAPS makes me think it would look good on the side of a ship.

Yes, corporations have a great track record of what's in the interest of the general population. Let them police themselves, hey shouldn't they more than anyone know what pollution looks like?

As for the EPA, let the states do it. With all these rivers, aquifers, wind currents crossing their borders etc... they're ideally positioned to regulate pollution, most of which I'D NOTE THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE!
