McCain has edge over Democrats

[Pinocchio Liberal 268]

Oh, you believe the president works in isolation and all the decisions are his alone do you? What planet are you on?

Decisions, after all is said and done lay at the feet of the president.

Strangely that rationale doesn't seem to apply when determining the ultimate responsibilty for starting a war.

Whats obviously missing here is the equal condemnation of ALL who voted for it. I can say one thing is that Bush is standing by his decision while the libs who voted for it and now are flaming the anti war cry are running for the high ground. This shows alot about these folks.

Number 6, why did you bring in this deflection at this point?

What happened to the 'chosen one'?

McCain will lead Obama down the road of inexperience. By bringing up things Obama knows nothing about.

Obama may be young and also might not have as much experience as McCain...but McCain is just too old period, I don't hate the guy though...

That's my view also. If he got in - I think he'd be a single-term only.

You had better hope your employer doesnt use this same attitude in about 30 years. I can see how pissed off you would be if your boss let you go for the reasons you are suggesting here. My god man!

Not really. Its a high-stress, high-profile position. The man is 72. Whether his health will last the term of office has to be a consideration - on some level at least.

So is being in a POW camp for five years. I beleive whole heartedly in the fact that age brings wisdom. The "too old period" wasnt used in that context. It was used in a way that age is somehow a bad thing,plain and simple. The same case can be made for "too young" also.

Actually you don't know in what context I meant that...I do not think that age is a bad thing "plain and simple"..I also agree that with age brings wisdom..I think my grandfather who is 98 and a war hero is the smartest and most wonderful person I know but now is too old to do alot of things...That's just keeping it real...man

" Too old period" I dont know what context you meant? Its obvious what you meant and the fact is, your attempt to wiggle out of it shows this.

I am not trying to "wiggle" out of anything...lol...I didn't renig on what I say.... he is TOO OLD MY OPINON...Not saying he doesn't have great experience.

You mentioned nothing about opinion! You said PERIOD! wiggle wiggle.

Except Obama. Who was against it from the beginning. As were many members of the public - not just in this country

Ultimate responsibility lies with the C&C, regardless of what your underlings did. And especially when the Prez took an idea that had been floating around and turned it into a national policy.

I couldn't resist.

What do you think that I am writing...someone elses opinion...Period meaning end of sentence..Would it make a difference if I said He's too old. ?

he can say that all he wants, bottom line he wasn't a Senator then so he COULDN'T VOTE ON IT.

No, but he did run for statewide office in Illinois on an anti-war platform at a time when the Democratic party establishment (that includes the witch) was in bed with GWB.

Indeed. His position is pretty established on that score.

How can anyone say "I can't wait to see [candidate x] fail" at this point? I mean, it's not even spring yet. How can you hate any of the candidates?

McCain is slimier and dirtier than most people know, and a lot more conservative than some people want to believe, IMO. But Jeez, I don't hate the guy!

And if Hillary gets the nom, I'm ready to back her up. I want Obama, but if it doesn't work out that way, the minute Hillary gets the nom, I'm forgetting all that and supporting her.

Seriously, especially when the alternative, if you're a supporter of Clinton, is handing the Republicans the Supreme Court.

It's very early (Obama was outpolling McCain a couple days ago), and it depends on what the election ends up being 'about.' and who the VPs are. McCain is weak on anything that isn't foreign policy; he just doesn't care about it all that much, and it it shows in interviews. Obama is stronger on domestic policy and if he picks up a strong VP candidate, and the economy continues to tank, it'll be the Dems election, easily.

Do you think Bill Richardson would help? He's great on foreign policy but he's also "ethnic" and I'm afraid that would turn some people off. Dunno.

If he chose Richardson as his VP candidate, I might actually vote for him.

What a naive idiot:

McCain questioned whether Obama was aware of the al Qaeda base. Obama's response was: "There was no such thing as al Qaeda in Iraq until George Bush and John McCain decided to invade Iraq."

Well he isn't really wrong to say this. That group didn't have a strong prescence in the country until the war created a power vacuum.

Just like I said, McCain leading Obama down the road of inexperience. McCain's gonna pwn this poor guy!
