You obviously need to talk more about race, and possibly get some re-education, to overcome your "typical white person" attitude toward His Momentousness' achievement. > I'm not happy with some of McCain's positions either, though. Who is? Really: Can anyone name one person who actually likes the guy? His being tortured by the Viet Cong is sad and impressive, and his career as a warrior is excellent, and all that at least gives him one important point above both Clintons and Bush II, not to mention the Obamessiah; but his career as a politician has been mediocre and he appears to be stuck having to pretend to be a Republican all the time, which he's obviously not comfortable doing in front of his Democrat "friends." Really, if one of them has "bipartisan" street cred, it ain't Obama... > > Obama's resume is too thin and he's been changing his mind on things > that > matter to me.

It is like he doesn't care about the future, only winning. Bingo! "If they bring a knife to the fight, we'll bring a gun..."

In general both of them have embarrassingly thin resumes for the job--Obama's being, as you have observed, barely a post-it note. At least Hillary can say where/when hers was shredded, and what she did with those FBI files, too. :) > I wasn't ready to commit to > an > inexperienced dream-talker for the presidency. Actually that describes the last two presidents, Clinton I and Bush II. We sure don't need a third at this point. If there is any consolation in McCain, it's that he doesn't have any ideas in his head, let alone grandiose ones. He knows a little something about war and peace. But fundamentally he just wants to be called "Mr. President" and call everybody "my friend". - Bob > > Kristyne _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
