I find Michelle and Barack Obama's message to be overwhelmingly negative. But then, I'm among the majority in this country that are satisfied with their lives (despite what Obama tells us).

From reading some of your posts, Obama seems to be the perfect candidate for you. He'll fix your broken soul. Whether you want him to or not.


Polling data does not agree with your conclusion that the 'overwhelming majority' of Americans are satisfied with their lives. In fact, it's the exact opposite -

I too painfully agree that Obama will probably get the nomination. It is really a reflection on americas obsession with the candidate as rock star and a mistake.

You're being ungrateful. Must I remind you? Nine months ago, as I was sitting in your living room, you told me you were worried that America's obsession would turn up another actor president who previously acted on "Law and Order". The pain you're feeling today could have been a lot worse.

Your link indicates opinion on the state of the country. I specifically said that most Americans are satisfied with their lives. I don't have to 'make stuff up'. That's your tactic.

The polling questions on your link, at least on the page that comes up first, are all basically the same.

Quote:
"Generally speaking, would you say things in this country are heading in the right direction, or are they off on the wrong track


Now, that isnt asking if people are satisfied with their own lives or not, its asking about the country as a whole.

But, Obama isn't running on the idea that people aren't satisified with their personal lives, but on the fact that people aren't satisfied with the Country as a whole. So when you said Obama tells you that the majority aren't satisfied with their personal lives, it was a falsehood. Ie, you made it up.

Going around whining that "I stink, my country stinks, my culture stinks" is not healthy. No wonder liberals report lower mental health.

Funny, then, that almost 100% of those caught in morally depraved acts while sitting in office as of late have been Republicans; guess their mental health includes a whole lot of dissonance.

I understand what the truth behind the attacks against Obama is, though - you're scared, b/c you know he's going to win. That McCain can't beat him.

More fun to make fun of you scrambling for some sort of attack on Obama which will stick.

I agree, the polls I linked to don't match up to the initial proposal. But you were still making **** up; Obama isn't campaigning on people's unhappiness with their personal lives.

Lemme ask ya - are you here for any other purpose then to troll liberals? You don't write any real commentary.

You mean like this...

Quote:
Not just the affair, but the telecom legislation that he wrote on her behalf.

At first, I thought the same as you - but when I actually READ the story, it doesn't look great for McCain.

Cycloptichorn



Quote:
It can be used a few ways against him -

First, he's a serial adulterer. He married the current Mrs. McCain only a month after divorcing the first one.

Second, when he talks about his 'legislative accomplishments' this will be used as a dagger right in the heart. Who was he accomplishing things for?

Third, it has a sex angle - and we all know how well that plays.

One way or the other, not good for McCain. The Drudge link above, talking about his furious efforts to deny the story and his hiring of a lawyer, aren't good for him either; if he didn't take it seriously he wouldn't be doing such things.

Cycloptichorn


Quote:
Agreed that the lobbyist favors are the big part of the story. The sexual angle will merely seek to propagate it in the minds of readers.

Interestingly, the lobbyist firm mentioned is furiously scrubbing its' website. The pages went down one by one last night (starting with 'who we are!') and now the whole site is off-line. The lobbyist in question has lawyered up and so has McCain himself.

Not proof of guilt, but not signs of a relaxed, innocent situation either.

Cycloptichorn


There are more quotes from you, but you are the one Pointing out John McCains possible hype and hypocrisy.

So I guess we can all assume that you are afraid that McCain will win.
After all, thats the logic you are using.

Big difference between a major mistake by a candidate, and a slip of the tongue by his wife. One cuts right to the heart of the campaign, the other is immaterial.

Thanks for playin, tho

I read an interesting article in today's newspaper. It talks about the Clintons trying to win the Hispanic vote now, because they will certainly lose without them. However, when the leaders of Hispanic groups looked at the Clinton's record on helping Hispanics, they found nothing. Yes, nothing, and they want the Hispanic vote - to win.

Can the Clinton's be trusted with their 35-years of experience rhetoric?

We havent been talking about Obama's wife, but about Obama.
You must be afraid that McCain will win, because you like to point out his mistakes and flaws.

Does he scare you that much?

Obama wins 'global primary'

Elana Schor in Washington

Barack Obama today scored his 11th straight victory over Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democrat nomination after a convincing win in the "global primary" of Democrats living overseas.

Obama took 66% of the vote to 33% for Clinton after Americans living in more than 160 countries cast their presidential ballots by mail, fax, and Internet during the weeklong primary conducted by Democrats Abroad. His victory was even stronger than average in the UK, where he took 69% of the vote to Clinton's 30%.

Despite Obama's strong showing, he and Clinton will come close to splitting the delegate votes from the overseas primary. Obama won 2.5 delegates to count towards this summer's nominating convention, while Clinton won 2.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/feb/21/barackobama.hillaryclinton1

So I have a question: If he won by a 2 to 1 margin, how does he only get 2.5 delegates to Hillary's 2? Shouldn't it be 3 to 1.5?

I doubt that a half-delegate is going to really matter, but what gives? How does that work out?
