But hey, if you feel you need to lie about it now to save face, go right ahead, it's what you usually do.

Curse and yell at eachother all you want. Doesn't add up to jack squat, except to put this board in the gutter. The FACT is that McCain-Palin is leading Obama-Biden now. McCain made up all the deficit from Obama's prior lead, and now he's pulling out ahead. And ahead he will stay,'cause Sarah's just getting warmed up.

So Finn, what are the "facts" that I'm ignoring? I pride myself on not ignoring data, even uncomfortable data.
Partway into Bill Clinton's term... when he pushed so hard for NAFTA... I realized he was going to sell us down the river to the corporate masters. But Bush? He was even more rapacious than Clinton, which is why we are where we are today: in an economic meltdown.
Long before 9-11... after the Cole and embassy bombings... I realized that it was just a matter of time before we experienced an attack on our soil. And yanno what? IMHO we're STILL vulnerable.
After listening to the technical folks... the UNMOVIC staff, the nuclear geeks at Oak Ridge testing the aluminum tubing and all that... I realized that Saddam did NOT have WMD.
When the exit polls in six hotly contested electronic-voting states experienced an unprecedented a statistically impossible 6-10% swing, and the profs who know such things say
the only factor they can't rule out is FRAUD, then I pay attention, especially because the essential problem (as detailed by Black Box Voting) has not been fixed.
It is a sad fact that racism is alive and well in the USA. Not the lynch-mob form of racism... a more quiet and polite form.
I'm a scientist. but more than that I try to be a realist. I don't believe in plugging my ears and humming loudly if somebody brings me FACTS (not poinion, not ideology... FACTS) that counter my ideas.
I'm not ignoring the fact that McCain-Palin have a base. IMHO 40% of Americans are bat-shit crazy. They believe so strongly in ... whatever they believe in... that they not only ignore the plain evidence of their senses they see and hear things that aren't even there. (What's the difference between a six-foot rabbit and the Virgin Mary on a pancake except that one will fetch you $15000 on eBay and the other might get you thorazine? We have a system of socially-accepted craziness, isall. ) They might even win. But so far, I haven't heard anything from McCain-Palin that warrants my vote. Have you? Then bring it here.

Any idea, no matter how much you may agree with it, can be radicalized and employed as an excuse for violence. There is no such thing as a righteous or untouchable philosophy, and when you start thinking that there is, you have become an extremist.- Finn Mac Cumhal

Quote:It’s my stated position that a McCain/Palin ticket does not appeal to the Far Right, as much as Obama/Biden appeals to the Far Left.

So is it your stated position then that the McCain/Palin ticket don't have anything to offer on economic or religious grounds?

Well, on one hand we have one of the most popular Democratic candidates since Kennedy and one with a vastly superior fund raising ability to any they've found in the last fifty years.
On the other "the pathetic candidates the GOP has offered" who are now up by about 4-10pts depending on your favorite poll.
Imagine what the GOP could do with good candidates...I mean if it takes the most money they've ever had and the most appealing candidate they've ever had to bring the race just close...the Democrats really have no business in the White House.

After Palin speech, Obama has record $10 million day
Posted: 08:50 PM ET
(CNN) – Barack Obama's campaign for president has raised $10 million since Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin spoke Wednesday night, the campaign announced, calling it a "one-day record."
All that money will be of great comfort AFTER her loses the election.

Hero...the tide has turned in a big way. Obama is sinking fast, so you gotta expect the lefties to go beserk. Sit back and enjoy; but every now and then remind them that Sarah Palin is the one they went after, and she'll be the one that defeats them.
