I am enjoying this election.

Two crooked politicians running for the same office. One is only marginally better than the other as all you hero worshipers will soon find out.

Thanks, EB. You captured my thoughts exactly. I almost posted the same on the other thread, but the pity party was too crowded.

I gotta disagree with you about "marginally better." McCain has chosen a veep without any national or international experience, and can't even compete in a high school debate contest. You see, ignoring the question is not an option - in high school debate. That tells us that McCain's judgment lacks any judgment that can be trusted. Just one week before the financial crisis, McCain said that "our economy is strong." That's also not good judgment about our economy. When McCain stopped his campaigning, he told the country he stopped his campaign to attend to the bailout in Washington DC, but he lied, because his campaign was not stopped. That's a lie. He said he would help get the bailout passed, and he failed; republicans voted "no" by 2/3ds. He is not leadership material even for the republicans.

Now, tell us what Obama has said that are outright lies, doesn't show his leadership ability, or he lacks "experience."

Don't forget, it has to be "marginally better."

I think that McCain is slowly making a fool of himself with his evermore liberal sounding schtick. He and bimbette are soon to be memorialized as the personification of "incompetence"

Holy ****. I was just typing up a post very similar to this one.

+5 for you, right on

It's funny that you would mention that because the biggest point McCain made during the debate was to buy up all those foreclosure mortgages to help those having problems with their payments. If that isn't from the liberal's playbook, I'd presume McCain was a liberal, but he's running as a maverick republican. Nobody seems to know what that means, but they're still voting for him. They turned the wrong way in the fork of the road, and still don't realize they're lost. LOL

When it's all over ebrown, that is how many of us will look back on it because it is an incredible moment in our history. No doubt. But right now, it's got me uptight and anxious and wishing that we were voting tomorrow. The ugly side is really coming out now, thanks to Ms. Palin, and will only intensify with each speech she gives. The spin doctors and the media in general, who obviously have a whole other agenda and are willing"desperate even" to keep the fight going for dollars/ratings are totally shameless. But my husband is obsessed with it, my brother is as well, and I'm just so tired of hearing about it that I could scream.

Watching people show their ass and expose just how low they're willing to sink has never been a favorite pastime of mine. At least, not in the real world. JR Ewing on Dallas was one thing but the nastiness going on within this election is too discomforting. On several levels. Some of us are just too delicate for the rough and tumble world of politics.

But I did hear some startling news on a personal level last week and I'd like to share it"
Almost ten years ago, I used to work with this sharp and jazzy older woman. She's in her seventies now, white woman, born and raised in Decatur, Georgia. Scarlett O'Hara had nothing on this belle and of course, it goes without saying that she was raised a staunch republican, buried two husbands who were, of course, republicans, and she voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004. But George Bush has made her so sick and has disgusted her to such a degree that early on during this campaign season she snuck a peek at Barack Obama and now, she is one of his biggest and most active supporters. He's her next president and if you say no he isn't, you've got a fight on your hands, believe me.

I like that story. Just wanted to spread it around.

That's how the spin doctors earn their living; otherwise they have no jobs. They spent hours discussing "that one" with all its nonsense.

A-hem!

I agree with you, though, ebrown. I'm bracing myself for a few more bumps on this ride yet, but it's been fun so far.

Love your story, eoe.

Yeah, nice story, eoe.
Months and months ago, I promised to deliver my native state of Virginia to Obama. And Sozobe said she would do the same for her adopted state of Ohio.
We still have about four weeks to go but...it is looking good.

Yeah!... A-hem

Right on, Ebrown.
