4. Very true
These people act like they are dating and they are playing hard to get.

They definately are not feminists and they should drop that pretense.

7. Personally anyone willing to kiss my ass
Doesn't deserve to be President.

I'm very happy with Senator Obama and will continue to volunteer very hard for him.

15. What part do you have wrong?
The statement: "what else do i need to know"

That's exactly like the mindless Bush supporters. All that's important to them is that Bush is the Repub candidate. They don't give a shit about anything else but MY TEAM! Who cares about the issues, he's on MY TEAM!...

22. No
Because, for instance, we could have Joe Lieberman running as the Democratic candidate against, say, Rush Limbaugh. In that scenario Lieberman too would be the "best candidate".

Being the "best candidate" doesn't mean jack with respect to the issues.

28. Of course it does.
If there are two viable candidates and one is better on the issues than the other, then he (or she) is therefore "the best candidate"

26. What more?
Just not sounding like a mindless robot like some simplistic Repub....that's the only point I am making. I am not making any point against Obama.

23. right
not like he hasn't written a couple of books outlining his political philosophy and then endured the most gruelling primary with one of the most talented fields defeating one of the strongest political machines in American history.


That whole process did nothing to reveal in exquisite detail what and how he thinks in excruciating detail.


We are now in a General Election season. We have gone through the process and now we are going to either elect Obama and McCain.

If you still don't have enough information to give an unqualified endorsement get the fuck out of the way while the rest of us try and rest real political power from a system that is going to do everything to stop us.

18. Let's see...
taught constitutional law.

Harvard, not Yale.

Correct side on Iraq.

Not a single policy I disagree with.

Ran a kickass primary campaign and is continuing to kick ass in the General.

A progressive Democrat with the smarts to hold strategic centrist points in order to achieve a landslide mandate.

Has every indication that he has the potential to change the world for the better.

Is raising 2 incredible, well-adjusted daughters who obviously love him tremendously.

Aside from being relatively young, (which I think is a real strength), the guy is almost too good to be true. :shrug:
