Mccain..

Im listening to him talk right now on the tube...

Iran is the issue and he sounds exactly like bush did before we went into Iraq. How the %$%$%$%$ could we possibly deal with Iran when we can hardly deal with Iraq??

If he is voted in, I am moving to mars.

Can't have Iran disrupting the oil flow after Exxon/BP takes over Iraq's oil reserves.

The other choices are at least talking more about fixing our problems here at home and not trying to address problems on the other side of the planet.

Let's hope they follow through with those promises and not get snatched up in the rhetoric of the moment.

The biggest promise is to change course away from Bush's iraq train wreck. Sometimes vague is good.

Something really frightening from the Scott McClellen interview on Russert yesterday.

In 2004 when Russert asked Bush if he felt the Iraq war was an elective choice, Bush seemed to fumble the response.

Afterwords McClellen remarked that Bush has ask him what Russert was getting at by that question. As in he didn't really get it...

Either Obama or McCain would be a tremendous intellectual improvement over where we are today.

Drawing is not one of my strong points. however, having a BFA in fine arts, Id wager to guess I can out draw you any day.

Not only do I wear a skirt I am a certified art fag in the eyes of the typical alpha male. In the eyes of a woman I am fabio.

That's a little childish don't you think. You have no idea what the NRA stands for.You sound like a Hollywood Idiot. Obama is a joke. you know it. I know it and the rest of the world knows it. He is a preacher and you are a sheep

So I can't help myself, what precisely is he preaching?

The rest of the world thinks he's a joke? Show us proof? The real world? Or the buckman snowglobe world?

If you're going to make bold statements such as this at least have the ability to back it up.

So sorry, but I am no sheep. Infact I am anything but a sheep. The more i think about it, those who need to join large orginizations like the NRA are actually sheep. I am a sea gull. Watch out or I will poop on you.

Who is the bigger fool?

The warrior who Kills to solve a dispute

The diplomat who negotiates to solve a dispute

Arguing implies you made a contrary statement.
Spence and I formulated a question.
you ignored it.
ipso facto, we win

Thats the answer I thought I'd get.
You made a stupid statement about Americans becoming Muslims because Obama might win the election, and then you sit back and call us fools instead of addressing what you said, and what we asked in response to your question.

Just the type of thought out, intelligent response I'd expect from a gun-toting right winger.

Group hugs would go nicely with the group reach arounds happening in this thread.

Wait, that we want perm bases in Iraq is a "secret plan"

Hasn't this been the MO from day one?

If you don't believe me, go read the neocon manifesto from the PNAC that's to blame for Bush's entire foreign policy. I'd link to their website but it's been suspended
