Why vote Obama?
-
I understand your confusion, Tom. The lack of reaction I referred to was from this board. Not surprising, though.
The mainstream liberal press has focused more on Palin's clothing budget that Biden's dangerous and irresponsible statements. They have the nads to call into question Palin's "experience" while completely ignoring that Obama is nothing more than an empty suit with oratory skills. Period. I am sick and tired of the press. They are a dangerous lot.
You can't be as steamed as I am.

LOL, the McCain bunch keep falling over themselves.
Meet Joe - the brother
Seems that anger is a family thing.

Does it not bother anyone but me that before coming to the US Senate, Obama had never held a public office outside of his neighborhood?
How is this relevant now?

LOL, grabbing straws again.
Obama's neighborhood has more citizens than The entire Wassila.

Here's another excellent reason to vote for Obama:

They just keep sinking lower and lower.

Another example of using parts of a dialogue to strike fear and appeal to the timid voters.
The McCain campaign is sinking fast, this type of rhetoric has plagued them from the start, yet they continue, but in fairness they really do not have anything else. They have no solutions, no winning points just negativity. Republicans are notorious for playing the person and not the issues, they try win by campaigning that their opponent is worse than them and not why they deserve the nod.
Like the guy everyone knows in the office that seeks promotion by discrediting his competition and not by hard and dilligent work. -
The 527's start the negative campaign.
The Neocons start spreading racist crap, swiftboating has begun

I think that's a pretty good ad.

The difference between the two is simple, one says something (McCain) and the other has something to say (Obama)

It's every bit as relevant as the media's claptrapping over Palin's experience. In fact, it's MORE relevant since he's running for president.

Need I explain this any further? I'm not feeling like running in rhetorical circles right now.

Ah ha, the key word being before. I overlooked that. EDIT: However, the fact remains that the "experience" thing is not being equally applied here.

Four more reasons NOT to vote for Obama:
Senator Obama's Four Tax Increases for People Earning Under $250K
And, another:
Throw Out the Constitution for Reparative Economics (eg, Reparations by Redistribution)

David,
Obviously the person who put together the second video wasn't able to follow the discussion and/or twisted the words intentionally.

Dear David,
So, you decide which way to vote on how much money you get to keep! Whatever happened to the Kennedy ideal, " Ask not what your country can do for you....". But then, what can one expect from a country that voted Bush in TWICE!!
Sorry, but as a non-American I get nightmares when I think of a McCain/Palin administration. Is money all that matters to you, or do you really believe that McCain/Palin are the best candidates?
Kind regards,
Bob -
Whatever it takes to get in power!

Of course he is going to cut taxes! He said so, didn't he?
Sorry if this has been posted before.

I Think just for fun, I will throw a little gas on this fire and see what happens. . .
this is from Chas. Krauthammer's column posted in yesterday's Washington Post:
***%(#BF0040)[The case for McCain is straightforward. The financial crisis has made us forget, or just blindly deny, how dangerous the world out there is. We have a generations-long struggle with Islamic jihadism. An apocalyptic soon-to-be-nuclear Iran. A nuclear-armed Pakistan in danger of fragmentation. A rising Russia pushing the limits of revanchism. Plus the sure-to-come Falklands-like surprise popping out of nowhere.
Who do you want answering that phone at 3 a.m.? A man who's been cramming on these issues for the past year, who's never had to make an executive decision affecting so much as a city, let alone the world? A foreign policy novice instinctively inclined to the flabbiest, most vaporous multilateralism (e.g., the Berlin Wall came down because of "a world that stands as one"), and who refers to the most deliberate act of war since Pearl Harbor as "the tragedy of 9/11," a term more appropriate for a bus accident?
Or do you want a man who is the most prepared, most knowledgeable, most serious foreign policy thinker in the United States Senate? A man who not only has the best instincts but has the honor and the courage to, yes, put country first, as when he carried the lonely fight for the surge that turned Iraq from catastrophic defeat into achievable strategic victory?
There's just no comparison. Obama's own running mate warned this week that Obama's youth and inexperience will invite a crisis -- indeed a crisis "generated" precisely to test him. Can you be serious about national security and vote on Nov. 4 to invite that test?
And how will he pass it? Well, how has he fared on the only two significant foreign policy tests he has faced since he's been in the Senate? The first was the surge. Obama failed spectacularly. He not only opposed it. He tried to denigrate it, stop it and, finally, deny its success.
The second test was Georgia, to which Obama responded instinctively with evenhanded moral equivalence, urging restraint on both sides. McCain did not have to consult his advisers to instantly identify the aggressor.]***
