Despite what I think of Obama, I do agree that he has an extraordinary way of speaking.

He may not have a whole lot new to say (then again, try to name many politicians who do), but he has a way with words.

Do you know what he's going to discuss specifically?


not really sure....  I'm more interested in the history of it.. than any substance...  we all know that campaigns... left or right.. are about style.. not substance.


Unfortunately it has come to that point. I'm all about substance myself, and I want to actually find a candidate who is concerned about the same issues that I am. Ouch

However, substance seems to be a word that's completely incompatible with the word "politician". LOL

Just make sure you can actually back up your arguments instead of making fun of people for their opinions and then just stating your own. AngryAngry



I think that says it all.  Pot calling the kettle black. 

Well if you want to believe that the earth is flat or the sun revolves around the earth, go right ahead, but frankly that does make you worthy of ridicule.


You want to argue it with me? Sure. I can back it up. I'd be glad to discuss it with you either here or through private message if you really want to know how I can back up my opinions. Stern%20Smile

Feel free to PM me or quote my post and I'd be glad to elucidate anything for you.

You can make you case here.  Not entirely sure why you didn't in your reply. Stern%20SmileConfusedSleepySleepySleepy

Wow. An impressive, intellectual response to my argument. It's obvious you didn't pay attention to anything I said. Come back when you feel like engaging in an actual conversation.

Wait a second here. David presented all of that argument, Finnforest doesn't respond at all, and then David makes a true statement... so David is the one starting sh*t? Stern%20Smile

ClapClapClap Good job Alex. Thanks.

I'm just siding with a person who is getting unjustly insulted.

I think it's gotten completely ridiculous that people have stopped using logic and are going to turn to name-calling instead of actually calling out debates on me if they want to have an intellectual conversation.

If you want to post your opinion, be my guest. But if you're going to imply that your opinion is better than someone else's, without any objective backup, then it's ridiculous. I've never implied that. Stern%20Smile

Those were my exact words. Confused

Is there anything you actually want to start to debate with me or are you going to continue to make an idiot out of yourself? Stern%20Smile

Quote I'd like to thank Bird for giving me a few laughs this evening too.  Clap  Oh, wait, you actually believe what you're saying...errrr...nevermind. Confused


That does it. I've had enough. You guys are incredibly rude to my friend here, who I happen to highly agree with. I extremely dislike Obama, I think he's a horrible, cheap, rotten, manipulative, racist person, and I'm entitled to my opinion without everyone else on PA making fun of me (or my friend). Stern%20Smile

All you guys do is try to insult other people and make them look bad because you don't agree with their opinions, yet all you do in response is give YOUR opinions back. I've yet to see hardly anything objective in this thread at all.

Even if I didn't agree with birdwithteeth, does that give you guys the right to be uncivil about it? Confused

All of you people disgust me. I'm heavily disappointed. Ouch


Now, if someone wants to actually heathily debate here with my friend and me, I'd be glad to take you on. Just make sure you can actually back up your arguments instead of making fun of people for their opinions and then just stating your own. AngryAngry


Isn't someone entitled to a belief without getting sh*t on? Angry

No offense Micky and I am not a McCain supporter but anyone who spent time in a Vietnamese POW camp I think certainly knows what real day struggles and fears are even better than most Americans.  Wink 
 
Politicians by nature are commitment phobic.  i have a hard time to believing what either one says because as we all know as they as they get into office they do whatever they want and that is not necessarily what we voted for. I know I am just shouting into the wind but I am actually really tired of electing Presidents on the basis of what legislation they are going to bring to the table.  Isn't that the job of Senator and Representatives through party platforms?

Actually, the next president will get the chance, most likely, to appoint a couple of Supreme Court Justices.  That actually makes a big difference.  If we get Obama, it may swing the Court mildly to the left.  But if we get McCain, watch out, we could have a very far right Court.  Scary thought.  Keep that in mind when you cast your ballot or before you decide not to cast a ballot.
