You are totally overlooking the main part of that post, the experience is the main fact I am pushing, the nearly 25 more years of political experience over Obama is the main thing, I just do not think that the man who is a serious candidate for the presidency should joke about the fact that he was involved in recreational drugs.Quote:

Just two examples.
But to address your point, I do not like Bush, he lied to the public and started a war based on lies. Then, he mismanaged the war in Afghanistan and entered into Iraq to finish his daddy's war. Under Bushes presidency the USA has gone down the shit hole. Not saying it is all his fault, but it sure doesn't look good on him when in his 8 years the deficit has grown to nearly a half trillion and federal spending increased by nearly 40%. Plus the housing market is down and the price of food going up because of government subsidies to grow corn to make ethanol, which will never be a viable alternative energy. Then to top it off salaries are going down and the price of everything is going up, and the worth of the dollar is falling daily.
I don't vote based on party, I vote based on who would do the best job and I believe that McCain is more suited to be running the country in this time of war and economic turmoil.
Go read, this is a nice generalization but give some facts to back up your statements. I think you will find that McCain and Bush's beliefs are very different on many matters.Quote:

It is going to get very difficult to find candidates under the age of 50 that haven't smoked a joint or two especially as most if not all Presidents are college graduates.Quote:

That's a hella lot of repeating yourself.

Don't get me wrong I do smoke on the occasion and it may seem a bit hypocritical, but I just believe that the president of the USA should be held to a higher standard than the average citizen. The president should be the best of the best.Quote:

Laudable sentiments.....so GW and Bill were the best of the best? Or is this a new principle you are putting forwardQuote:

I am not saying any president has been the best of the best sometimes you just have to pick the lesser of two evils.
So, if "experience" is your main criteria I assume that Ted Kennedy would be your dream candidate.Quote:

Essentially, I reject the whole idea that being a Senator (inexperienced or no) somehow prepares you for the Presidency.
^ I concur. My computer science professor has taught for 15 years. He was/is an idiot.
Experience is often over rated.

Does it really make a difference?
Either way history is changing. We're either going to get a black male president or a woman VP. Personally, I would like it if we get the "Bush" thinkers out of office and a new fresh face in there to get our piss-poor economy back on track. I already know how McCain thinks as he's been running the state I live in for years... the only thing I really agree on is his stand on illegal immigration, but other than that... I think I'll be voting for Obama.
Yes, who the next president is, does believe it or not, make a difference.Quote:

So then, "the best of the best" = "the lesser of two evils"?

On the other hand, Obama isn't perfect. He's an intellectual. More and more I see that he can be tough though, and he also picked one of the toughest possible running mates. If something were to happen with Barack I'd feel that our country is safe for the duration of the term.
Additionally, Obama favors a stronger dollar. He wants to reverse Bush's policies that resulted in people making less money but everything costing more. McBush wants to continue those Bush policies and expand on them by giving the rich even more tax breaks that would benefit he powerful buddies very much. He is so out of touch with the little guy.
At least Obama knows what it means to make ends meet.
Yes, and he's for cheap arugula, too.Quote:

It didn't seemed to hurt Ronald Raygun who, if memory serves me right,was one of American's most beloved Presidents.Quote:

That said as the spawn of leftists, given the opportunity, I would have a very hard time ever voting for him.
But then again with that kind of lack of support in France I might be persuaded.:rolleyes:
I just have this weird feeling McCain will win, Obamas pro abortion, all the hick states will probably vote McCain just because of that, that and they won't vote for a Black guy. Sad but true.
He is down to his last couple of dozen houses non?Quote:

Palin is a bit scary actually and anybody who has flirted with supporting Pat Buchanan needs the bumps on their head felt.
Just who is scary depends on your point-of-view, Les.
Yours differs from that of most Americans.
Since McCain's campaign director has stated that this election "is not about issues", feeling "the bumps on their head" will probably be all you get.
Last night we learned- because somehow after 18 fuckin months of campaigning we apparently hadn't gotten it yet- that 40 years ago McCain was a POW and treated poorly.
What he's done since then would be "issue related", hence "not relevant".
He is however a "maverick"...Repub speak for "batshit crazy"...which should play well to the masses.
Palin has been secretly running a National Guard offensive against the Russians- who knew?- but the details are very hush-hush. Even the talking head from the campaign isn't quite sure what they are.
Since the Russkis haven't overrun the Juneau Peninsula yet however, we can only assume she's been kickin ass and takin names, so her qualifications are unquestionable.
She'll probably replace Petraeus.
Don't worry Biggles, everything is under control.
You could've left it at that. ;)Quote:
