It was a joke...I think butterflynet posted the exact same sentence a few days/weeks prior to your posting.



This is what I said in response to a previous post of yours when you were complaining about Obama's supporters on A2K and the influence they were having on who you would vote for.


Quote:
You are allowing the way two posters express themselves on an anonymous internet message board to effect your vote for the next president of the United States.


I then went on to partially agree with you. If you equate that with Roxxxanne's insulting question about morons, then I'll have to apologize to you.


I know. I wasn't being very kind to morons.

That can be said about a lot of people. Do many of us really trust or believe politicians? Are anyone's motives really pure? (speaking of politicians here). No point in dumping on just one couple.


They seem worse then most... Bill's plethora of shady deals don't help

Canada has had its share of shady dealer politicos which is why I don't believe there are more than a handful of honest politicians. I'm sure we can find something in almost everybody's past that can be labelled shady. The Clintons merely belong to a large club.

Hopefully you are willing to ask for better, willing to reward better, by giving the honest ones you find your vote even if you don't like all of their ideas. We know who the Clinton's are, I don't care how good her policy statements are, I want a decent human as my countries leader if I can find one. I have no idea if Obama is an upstanding person or not, but he might be, so he gets my vote.

After losing so badly last night, Hillary should drop out now.

It's my observation that Hillary will march it out all the way to Denver. Actually I don't mind because I think this kind of thing promotes more interest and will likely increase voter turnout for the election in Nov. I could be wrong.

My prediction is that she will lose Texas.

If this happens I think she will be out by the middle of March. At this point there will be a whole lot of political and financial pressure for her to let up.

I agree; right now it looks like it is clearly between Obama and McCain; however; I hope he don't get complacent with Ohio and Texas still to go. McCain either thinks Obama has got it or he is hoping to turn people off Obama because he is going after Obama now with Hillary's own words. Hillary can't beat McCain and I hope those in Texas and Ohio realize that. What is this thing between Blacks and Latinos? (are those the right terms?)

Clinton Turns to Ohio, Texas for Last Stand; Obama Eyeing McCain

[In the election to know how the other side is thinking you got to wade through stuff you would rather not.]

I think your right.
The down side of that is that she could fracture the dem party so badly that it either turns off voters in the general election, or sends them over to McCains side.

Not sure what any of it means but as i read the papers this morning I noted that Obama beat Hillary far more decidedly that McCain beat Huckabe (who seems to be considered a dead horse) which appears to indicate that there is more dissatisfaction among the republicans than among the democrats.

I seriously doubt it, McCain has shown that he will just carry on things just like they are now and people want change.

Media Narrative Vaults Obama into Frontrunner Slot

Media Narrative Vaults Obama into Frontrunner Slot

After weeks of focusing on the prospect of a deadlocked race with no end in sight, the media narrative for the Democratic presidential race shifted dramatically last week, anointing a definite frontrunner and an underdog.

The strange thing is that had the states won and lost been reversed, Hillary would have been declared the winner long ago.

I thought it strange Clinton is pushing her credentials to be commander in chief. I looked up both her and Obama's committee memberships in the Senate for ones I thought might be CinC related

Clinton: Armed Services Committee
Obama: Homeland Security, Veterans' Affairs, Foreign Relations

I don't see where Clinton is coming from on this one.

BTW we are voting for a president, not a commander-in-chief, a term that was rarely evoked until recent times.

Better check again Rox. Bush with a republican congress could start a war any place he wanted to. What makes you think a democratic president with a democratic congress wont be able to do the same?

What if, in Texas, she wins the most votes but Obama the most delegates? With the convoluted system they have in place there, which favours Obama in some structural ways, thats not at all impossible. Wouldnt that make for some awkward talking points on both sides? :wink:
