There is nothing to muster because Jason, Obama has no past. He’s a nobody. He’s a celebrity that has no history, nothing significant in his voting record, nothing noteworthy in his career. No experience. Constant flip-flops and constant mistakes.

So he has no history or record BUT he has a history of flip-flops and mistakes? If you’re going to choose something to hold against him (lets never mind I disagree) I suggest that it isn’t contradictory.

Jonathan, I know I’ve said this before, but I will say it again. It is unwise to presume that anyone who isn’t stupid agrees with your views. You know (or you should) that not all political analysts will agree with you, they never agree on anything! That may make them wrong, in your view, but that does not make them stupid. Denigrating other opinions as stupid is part of what has polarized the country to such a large degree and it is part of the problem, not the solution.

And I take offense that you think I regurgitate what others have said, there is a lot of stuff I’ve said that were completely new in my other articles.

Then drop the "57 states" style of trivial nonsense and stick to the original analysis and you’ll find me much less critical even when I might disagree with you.

I mean I don’t have to just mention 57 states, I mean I know McCain has messed up 2-3 times. However, I can name you about 15 times that Barack Obama has made a gaffe, that’s a SIGNIFICANT difference no matter how much you deny it.

McCain has a significant history, he’s a war hero, he has studied history, he understands foreign policy because we know from his statements how well he has gotten to know the world through so many years in the senate. We know that he has always done whatever it takes to help the nation, because he has even crossed his own party at times to do what he thought was right. This is something that far surpasses Barack Obama’s 96% liberal party vote and his short 3 years in the Senate.

Barack Obama has a big life ahead of him, he probably will be able to run multiple times again and again, but for him to have the audacity to run against McCain and Hillary was just absurd. So far he’s been running off of luck, lots of donations and the help he gets from the media and from the internet.

someone who thinks that there are 57 states

I am wondering when anti-Obama critics will tire of using this misrepresentation.  Obama does not think there are 57 states any more than McCain thinks that Iraq borders Afghanistan.  Both of examples of unintentional mis-statements by the candidates taken out-of-context by their critics for purposes of making the candidates look bad without having to, you know, actually think or argue substantively about anything.

On the plus side, it does give comfort to the half of me that supports Obama to know that his critics are unable to muster anything more substantive than trivia based on months-old misrepresentations. But it depresses my pro-McCain half to think that so many of his supporters have nothing more than trivia based on months-old misrepresentations to use on their candidate’s behalf.

In my opinion after months of seeing this kind of tripe dominate the blogosphere, the opportunity for a real election based on substantively competing philosophies is being squandered by intellectually lazy supporters on both sides who seem incapable of any level of analysis more sophisticated than simply regurgitating the same old half-honest one-liners over and over and over and over and over and over.

And there is no statistic that says poverty increases when Republicans are in power. It’s just an assumption created by Liberal Media Agencies.

When Abortion decreases crime rate and poverty goes up, if and only if, governments don’t make up for it using social programs, funding of religious organizations that will help in orphanages and other social services, and money spent on preventing unwanted pregnancies and education for pregnancies in the first place.

Now, I am voting for John McCain unless something changes. However, I am pro-choice. But I’d rather vote for John McCain than someone who thinks that there are 57 states and stutters all the time like George W.
