I Feel Like I'm Stuck

... Being old shouldn't be seen as a negative. Imagine if people decided you were too old to be a DJ for today's youth, Would you just give up and go sit at home? ...

Nobody is trying to deprive you of your right to be concerned. I was trying to assuage those concerns. You seem to be saying, "I'm worried about x", but when someone says, "don't worry about x because x isn't really all that likely", you say "it's my right to be worried about x". I'll venture to say that you're enjoying this feeling -- which is also certainly your right. Wallow in it for a while. I remember how I felt when Kerry lost, even though he wasn't my first choice. I needed to wallow in it.

So wallow a while, but when you come up for air, take a deep breath and realize that it's not as bad as you think.

I'm not wallowing in a godddam thing.... I can't be assuaged because I am truly concerned to my core.... what will make me change my mind will be if one of them gets in office and does a good job.... but I don't see it.

when there is a mature person right in the middle that would be my first choice... and I now prepare for the "what mature person in the middle" remarks

Bear, it's up to us, the people, to make sure our new president and the partly new congress does a good job for the common good. I will be watching their actions. Wanna watch them with me?

This thread should have been titled,

'My candidate lost, and I'm looking to bitch about it.'

Honestly. Grow up. The idea that Obama and McCain are essentially similar in your mind shows that you don't care about any of the actual issues at all. For you would realize that McCain is the continuation of the Bush idiocy that you've been complaining about for years along with the rest of the Dems on this board; Obama would at least be a different flavor of idiocy, at worst, and at best represents someone far more ideologically aligned with you.

I don't think they're similar at all.... and I've stated that many times... as a matter of fact I've stated many times that Obama and bush (i.e. mccain) are idealogically way apart.

Now, I've avoided any contact with you lately to keep the confrontational rhetoric at bay.... so.... put your pecker away.... no one can see it anyway.

You could use some growing up and learn to respect other people's opinions and stop ridiculing them. It makes you look like an arrogant brat.

But you feel stuck? It should be an easy choice. You've described yourself as a Democrat in the past. One of the candidates is most like the democrat. Just how poor a job do you think he's going to do, compared to the other guy?

between a doddering old grandfather who wanders around talking a lot and loading his diaper.... and a little child who wanders around talking a lot and loading his diaper. I want to go out but these are my two choices to watch my house, because for reasons best know to themselves the people who own the housesitting company decided to fire the one regular adult qualified for the job.

This sucks.

Cycloptichorn - No, it is NOT easy. There are Democrats along the entire left wing continuum. IMO, Obama is too far to the left to suit many moderate Democrats.

You're right, it's only 10:30, cjhsa hasn't even posted yet, I don't want to run out of barbs before noon...
