Hello,
Whozit, your comments are unhelpful in the goal of establishing adult discussion and debate.
Plus it's capital, as in money.
I was very clever and am miffed that you overlooked it.

Honestly, you can't expect him to catch subtleties like that. This is the person who thinks the number one rap against Obama is "big ears", and Biden's biggest negative is "hair plugs". Obviously, Whozit has no capability for deep thought, or for anything more than the merest of superficialities.
Plus, you know... he's a troll.

Yeah, and McLame can't raise his arms...
And I note for the record that only ONE of the candidates was in prison for a long time AND was in the Navy.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Can YOU admit to as much on the other side of the coin?
Chris, you're talking to the guy that thinks military fascist dictatorships are a good idea...
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

Maybe, maybe not. One of the things you have to watch out for, especially where the Liberal ideology is concerned is that there are many very, very wealthy and extremely political individuals and institutions that support Liberal and Left-wing causes in the US. This large donation could very likely be nothing more then a few large donations given to the Obama campaign by these wealthy supporters.
Obama, as of July '08, 96% by individual donations (limit $2000) www.opensecrets.org/pres08/summary.php?cid=N00009638&cycle=2008
McCain, as of July '08. 0nly 81% by individual donations

Yanno Finn, with the internet there really is NO excuse for such half-assed thinking. Except maybe you have a half-assed brain.

I haven't seen you present any "facts" - only your opinions. You say the people on the right with money aren't "political" - but that ignores folk like oil billionaire T. Boone Pickens and his personal bankrolling of the Swift Boat crowd. There are PLENTY of rich right-wingers willing to put up their money. And there are plenty of them willing to put up their celebrity in favor of the Republicans as well.
If there don't seem to be AS many putting their support behind McCain/Palin, maybe that should tell you something about your candidates, rather than about their supporters. After all, even rich people don't like to just throw money down an empty hole.

Quote:Or more likely it says something about the nature of the Right. That they are more likely to support economic or religious agendas, rather then political ones, while the Left tends to be more likely to support political ones. This is hardly a major revelation.

So is it your stated position then that the McCain/Palin ticket don't have anything to offer on economic or religious grounds?
By the way, I'm still eagerly awaiting your "facts" in support of these opinions of yours.
And the swift-boating of Kerry last time 'round - was that economic in nature, or religious? Surely it couldn't have been... political!
