Well I think posting a thread demanding people justify their support for a candidate shouldn't excuse you from justifying your own.

Given that your style seems to be - if I say something, you can say the same thing as long as you change the names.

Of course you could go back to your previous MO - of throwing this stuff out there and then refusing to participate because "you get paid for your opinions" and because you "don't think that this board provides a useful forum for debate".

being the poster to retaliate with a competing thread after the original is posted ... well ... my 4 month old boys will face this type of situation in another 5 years ...

You beat me to it...

Neither are lawyers. That in itself is a great start.

Wow. I'm simply shocked that "Paul" knows how to actually start his own thread. I thought he just existed in these forums to comment on threads posted by others.....mostly in a negative way unfortunately.

Having said that, I'm disappointed that he chose to start a thread whose sole purpose is to mock.

All the ####### that's here is what everyone else spews, so it seems pretty accurate to me.

Won't bother justifying Sarah Palin because she's a complete joke.

McCain

- long time Senator

- Veteran

- didn't use his father (the Admiral) to get him out of POW camp. This alone speaks of his character.

- never a 'community organizer'

Palin

- former mayor

- current governor

- more qualified than the Dems presidential candidate

Let's see your posts over in the Obama thread.

He does have a long and easily looked at record. He is well known and viewpoints can be honestly known as unlike the other candidate McCain has put action and not just words.

You can be sure he certainly wastes (rather, uses) no brain cells when he posts.

Well... their father will school them well as far as that goes, if past performance is anything to go by.

VW isn't interested in a discussion - she has said has much on numerous occasions. Unless that was bull$hit of course. I suspect its a card she plays when she doesn't want to play her own game.

But again Kaydee - I'm not doing anything that you yourself have not done - and many times over.

You mean... your argument style is fair and reasonable when you use it, but not when I do?

Wow

ok....so I'm not exactly a fan of Obama and Biden, but I'm also not excited by McCain and Palin. I am however prepared for an attack on this one..... maybe it is just DC, but Obama supporters here seem to share their IQ with their shoe size. There were the people who claimed that if "whites" didn't vote for Obama, it meant they were racist. There were also the two young adults walking through my neighborhood pulling down McCain posters to be replaced by Obama ones (they clearly didn't account for the possibility that the homeowners might just remove them - duh). And finally, the woman in Giant (pikey foodstore) who had gone to the trouble of having a t-shirt printed that said...."Obama & BIEDEN 2008". I just have nothing in common with these people (thankfully). Its like watching something on tv where you feel embarrassed just by watching.
