You're the one that wanted us to explain things the way we would to a four-year-old.

Is I being too mean? Did I hurt you're widdle feewings?

This could help McCain.

He is going to the Buffalo Chip...

Yes, Kerry was not pro-active enough, IMO.

I haven't really heard a clear message from McCain, and I find his record on women's issues to be appalling.

It's how I talk to adults that act like four-year-olds.

I thought Bear had made it clear via his other posts that race is a factor.


of course it's a factor..... both with those who denigrate and support him..... did you think race wouldn't be a factor with the first viable black candidate in American History.... or had Hillary won did you think gender would not be an factor?

Bear--

Race is a factor in your decision not to support him?

Really? What I do with adults like that... or with anyone I find distasteful is just ignore them unless they address me directly. You should try it.

no, and nowhere have I ever stated anything like that lash, as you should damn well know.

But because it's not a deciding factor for me doesn't mean I don't recognize that it exists. Just because I'm willing to say it out loud doesn't mean it reflects my personal beliefs or actions.

Just saw this -- yikes. During the latest campaign shakeup, a lot of Rove people joined the McCain campaign and there was speculation about what that would mean. I don't know if this is about the Rove people or what, but it's very much the sort of muddled, weird Obama-bashing McGentrix is talking about:

Comparing Obama to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears? OK...

show me an example of where I've personally attacked someone since I took two weeks off and then returned.

Not answered in kind.... but initiated a personal attack. You can't.

between Obama's plan to provide tax rebates to American families while creating a renewable energy economy in America that frees us from our dependence on foreign oil, and Senator McCain's plan to continue the same failed energy policies by handing out nearly $4 billion in tax breaks to oil companies while investing almost nothing in the new energy sources that represent our future."


This is a steaming load of BS. Promise them cake and feed them pig **** seems to be the message of the day from the Obama camp. There is no way that he could ever live up to that crap.

Nice assertion, but the fact is that these are the plans which have been presented.

This is where I was puzzled. I initially questioned why a Hillary supporter couldn't easily turn that support toward Obama---and then, between DrewDad's and your responses, I guess you can see how I could be confused.

With no details of how to carry them out or idea how to even begin. At least McCain deals in the present with an eye on the future. Solving today's problems before worrying about tomorrows. Obama is an idealist, McCain a realist. Obama's plan as stated here is doomed for failure.

Also, this constant whir in the background about "the same failed energy policies"... exactly what failed energy policies are they referring to?

Your reputation cannot be whitewashed in a mere two weeks. Inconvenient, that.

The policies which have led to our current energy crisis, obviously. The Bush-McCain policies. The ones where renewable energy gets almost no money spent on it, while big oil gets big tax breaks and investments.

I would point out that McCain's economic plans have no relation whatsoever to McCain's claims of what his economic plan does; it's another message control problem.

Tax Rebates??
I thought the dems were opposed to tax rebates?
After all,even the wealthy pay energy taxes, so they will get the rebate also, correct?

And exactly what is a "renewable energy economy"?
How does he propose to do that?

Why not? If it means they are putting wind and solar units on their house, why not give them a rebate?

It's an economy which is not based upon oil, but upon domestic energy production from renewable sources. We achieve that by spending the money to make it happen, instead of frittering it away on wars over oil.
