and when exactly in this thread did i say that they were different? that's right, never.

you speak so derogatively of McCain's ambition like it's a terrible thing. the point of entering an election is to win....and during that period all politicians change their positions many times and pander to certain groups in order to pick up votes. (yes, even your candidate does that)

McCain has been a member of congress for 26 years now, and there were many many occasions when he broke ranks with his own party or leaders of his party and took an opposing stance on an issue. Obama on the other hand was first elected to congress in 2004. As of today he hasn't even served 4 years yet, not one stinkin' term. And how many of those 4 years have been spent running for president?

By any stretch of the imagination he has almost no real experience, yet you want someone like that deciding domestic and foreign policy for the nation? Because he was against the war in Iraq first? That's it? When did he reach across the aisle to work with Republicans, and what gives you hope that he will in the future, because he says so? McCain's actual deeds have proved his willingness to work with the other side.

the only thing different about your candidate is the color of his skin. that fact alone almost makes me want to vote for him. unfortunately, everything else about him is the same old bullshit, so i must repectfully decline. and i certainly don't harbor any ODS.

that's good enough for me.

it was the most significant foreign policy decision in a generation - only one candidate had the foresight and the judgement to see it for the fiasco that it would become. moreover, the other candidate continues to defend and support what has become the greatest policy failure of the Bush administration. the choice is obvious.

you are certainly entitled to your opinions, but that's all they are, opinions.

only time will reveal whether the results were worth the effort. and even if history eventually proves that Bush was correct, those with BDS will never give him any credit.

ok, you might have to clarify on this BDS business..

I guess it is going to have to be 'brain dead' something?

Bush Derangement Syndrome...it's an attempt to categorize people who do not approve of the many well-documented failures and excesses of the Bush administration as somehow not in full possession of their faculties. based on Bush's approval rating, BDS apparently afflicts about 71% of the country. conversely, one could also ask the 29% who approve of Bush's performance what medication they are taking...

multi · 06-09-08, 08:31 PM

ahh.. excuse my ignorance... I should of looked up the urban dictionary

Well anyway.. McCain certainly seems as 'brain dead' as Bush is
watching McCain's speech the other night had me thinking that they had him on some sort of psych drugs or that he was already dead and what everybody was watching was actually a robot in the skin of a dead man..

what ever it was it didn't look right... creepy in fact.

Krauthammer defined Bush Derangement Syndrome as "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency — nay — the very existence of George W. Bush".

we're talking about the same thing - it's just a question of degree.
