I'm voting for Obama because, even if he doesn't follow through, he's the only person promising positive change for America.
--Monica, Arizona, commenting on Gerard Baker's...
Obama: is America ready for this dangerous leftwinger?
What is truly frightening about Obama is not so much the man himself; every Republican in possession of a frontal lobe knows the man is dangerous. No, what's truly frightening is the number of mind-numbed robots that cheer him, swoon in his presence, and vote for him.
And Monica from Arizona inspires in me no confidence in the intellectual prowess of the Liberalism.
None whatsoever.

Unless you offer some specific, measurable/observable reasoning, you just sound like a conspiracy theorist.
I'll take every stupid, ignorant and disaffected Republican vote I can get. But it's going to happen because we have figured y'all out!

"Although I really know very little about his plans for American foreign policy, I am certain that he is the right choice for president."
--Bob Lynch, Mississippi
"What does this all mean? Is it all rhetoric? Of course it is. And while specific policy points are important and positions matter - so does this feeling of change."

Yeah, okay, but.... where's the beef? You're betting on a man dressed in a cow suit, hoping for burgers on the other side of the chute!
"Yes we Can!"
Can what? He can't even offer specifics in his slogans.
"I am for Obama, among other reasons, precisely because he has less exprience."
"I have a dream that one day..."
King was short on specifics in many of his speeches. I'd take him in a heartbeat with NO details over a candidate that I didn't trust with a HUGE number of plans.
Bush I had a plan, remember? "No new taxes." W Bush had a plan, he was going to go in and take out Saddam and we'd be welcomed as heroes and it'd all be over in 5 weeks.
What's a plan worth if it's not a good plan or if it's not followed through on?
Don't knock inspiring people. Jesus had few plans, too.
Of course, Jesus would never get elected today, either. He'd be swiftboated and outed as a commie and a terrorist sympathizer.
I ask again: HOW is he dangerous? Where's YOUR beef?
Not at all. He'd be rejected because He's an absolutist. He doesn't quibble over right and wrong. Libs would NEVER go for that!
What are we to make of that?
I suspect perhaps because we are more gracious and are not willing to call into question the faith of every schmoe who doesn't agree with us, therefore we don't care about right and wrong. Perhaps you'd feel more comfortable - more at home - if we told you that you're blaspheming Jesus and you're evil and hellbound? Sorta like Sunday morning at home?
I'll pass.
Marshall and Eric, you are my brothers in Christ.
Peace, God's Peace.
But, I'm pretty sure I'm not a "typical" Obama supporter. Ha! Let's see. White guy. Serious redneck tendencies. Former conservative Dem turned moderate-lib in the face of insanity on the far right. Former traditional Southern Baptist (as opposed to right-wing fundamentalist Southern Baptist), and latecomer to mainline Christianity, not a lifer. Oh, and unlike many of Obamas peps, I am not a recent enemy of the Republican Party. On that, I AM a lifer. Conservative Dems and your basic garden-variety Repubs have an awful lot in common, but one thing the Dems have given a crap about since 1932, and the GOP only sheds crocodile tears for when they're on camera, is the POOR and otherwise disaffected.
No Dan. To be more precise, we insist you have a problem identifying right and wrong.

"Anything goes"? Hardly. More like "EVERYTHING GOES" that is manmade, cultural, tradition for tradition's sake, or based on a stubborn literal reading of Sacred Scripture that DESERVES better treatment -- goes, OUT it goes.
As for the GOP: Repubs care, all right -- for the wrong things. And that's a matter of conscience upon which we obviously disagree.
You believe in fantasy.
