I've decided that the Democrats have a fatal flaw. They assume that Americans are intelligent, as a whole. They assume Americans will listen to facts, and pay attention to issues. They're wrong. And for that reason, just might lose this election. Americans, as a whole, are sound bite morons.

there is also an odd phenomenon where people will hear people say something enough times, they'll repeat it as fact, accept it
Reply
John Madden, the football guy? He actually has a masters in education, and claims that repetition is the main way people learn
so when a larger than life figure like Rush says liberal this and liberal that for 20 years, suddenly liberal is a dirty word, and used as an insult here
Its some kind of conditioning
I hope the majority of Americans are not morons, but I can see how you reached that conclusion
Voter turnout alone is not a good indication
I actually think that Obama will get in-he's a much more appealing candidate-INFINITELY so, than Kerry.
So, for many reasons, if McCain wins I will be really shocked and have to conclude as you have, that critical thinking has become as rare as clean air-

ah see, you've set up a conundrum by thinking you're a critical thinker
Reply
what if you're NOT a critical thinker? If you're not a critical thinker, how would you think it out well enough to reach that conclusion?
just playing, you are quite likable and reasonable from what I've read here recently
some would say there is not a whole lot that can prepare one for leading the free world
some point at governorship or long Senate time, but is that really the same thing?
I am not reassured by McCain's agedness and experience as a Senator, especially since his decline the last few years in anything resembling straight talk or stalwartness
you want a stalwart free-thinking maverick?
Ron Paul not only crossed party lines to vote AGAINST the war in Iraq, he voted against funding it as well
I'm not a fan of either guy, uh, either, but McCain's longer experience is littered with scandal and liability and recent flip-flopping, so that's why I would pick the less experienced candidate-that and I'm not sure there IS appropriate experience for the big chair[not that I would know much about the inner-workings of government, just that a governor or senator is definitely not a president] -

Hiring McCain on experience is like hiring a typewriter repairman because your hard drive crashed. McCain promises that he can faithfully extend the policies that have dug is into this hole. The world has changed significantly and what we need is someone who can recognize that old rules about borders, trade, and economics have changed and therefore we as a country need to adapt. Does anyone know of a company that still makes typewriters? McBush's experience is no longer relevent. We need a leader who understands the new world.

The problems of yesterday are the same as the problems of today. Technology has changed , but human problems have not. Obama is a child and is not ready, maybe in 10 to 15 years. He has no way of knowing how to make the hard choices that a real leader has to make.

True, McCain has about 22 years senatorial experience (MINUS 62% absences.) Still, that's more than Obama. Are you pleased with the state of the union today? Are things better today than 22 years ago because of McCain? Are your Constitutional freedoms more secure? McCain's 22 years of influence and all the baggage he has accumulated (lies and flip-flops, immorality, pro-amnesty, pandering, etc) represents the best argument I can think of to THROW THE BUM OUT!

McCain was flatly REJECTED in 2000. I'm dying to know: what great things has he (or his party) done since then that would make me want to elect him now? -

Yes but what kind of experience? If you ask most Americans they are tired of the way things work in Washington. I'm looking to Obama's lack of experience in these ways to help us change them. Now this may come back to bite us in the backside, but considering what has been going on for the last 7 years alone I'm willing to take that chance.

I agree, unfortunately one of these men will have to be the next president, unless someone can mount a real good write in campaign.
Reply
I don't know why anyone would want this job, it is a tremendous amount of pressure and you are under constant scrutiny by the other party always looking for an edge. As president you don't make the laws, all you can do is stop them. But it doesn't matter because you are the one that always gets the blame.
Obama has no experience that I can tell. It is easy to vote to give away the store when it is not yours, it is tough to not.

If i had any facts to listen to I would gladly listen. Obama won't be specific on any of his plans and won't do Town Halls with McCain so that seems very sneaky to me. Like he is hiding his agenda from us.

My research shows me that he is a commie loving Socialist with poor judgement in friends and mentors.-

We know for a fact that McCain VOTED for the Iraqi war, and he bears the responsibility for more than 4000 of our bravest losing their lives. He has also voted against benefits for vets.

Where is his conscience?
Let us also not forget that he is the one who was tortured in North Vietnamese prison, and was speaking with enough bravada that he will not accept torture in any form -
Until he had a private meeting with Cheney. Nobody knows for sure what happened during that meeting, but when McCain came out he was a subdued and sullen sorry a*s who mumbled that waterboarding was OK.
We all can speculate and guess. My guess is that Cheney had something on McCain and he tiold hi that he would use it. Some foprm of political blackmail, maybe?
Who knows. The only thing I remember is the ashen face of this paper tiger trying to lose himself in the crowd!
A very, very disturbing event, indeed! -
