umm good fer ye

but i have t' step in t', ruin th' party, an' i feel like a bitch doin' this but..  its life

13 000 scallywags.., ye scurvey dog.  OHHH BOYYYYY, how th' hell is obama gun top that?

oh wait, no nay ne'er mind..he already has..in about every rally

u might have yer eyes closed, but obama has th' upper han' again, mccain has had t' go defnsive o'er th' past few days
real candidates o' change?  Walk the plank! truth is, McCain really wouldn't have done anythin' differently in th' last 8 years, more like,..he woulda done it worse(dern't know how that's possible, against bush but meh)

other than that, i'm happy ye had fun, an' yeh, ye can't really tell all th' hype unless ye're thar, just imagine how obama's rallies be

Soth you do realize, you described McCain more than Obama there right?

LMFAAOOOOO

was that for real though? or you were being sarcastic from the start...

phew good thing Obama does it better than McCain huh glad? 

Soth...i really wanna know, what kind of change does McCain want, he has the same views and beliefs, and on some issues, his judgement is worse than Bush

really, this is what i want you to answer, What are the things McCain would've done differently in the last 8 years, that would've made a difference for ordinary americans?

UMM LMFAO!!!!

McCain win? may i remind you, obama's leading in the electrol college vote right now, he's pulling ahead in almost all battleground polls
in some they are tied, Palin's fame is ABOLISHED
Obama's looking great on HIS turf - the economy - he's looking great, looking presidential, while McCain is spewing out hate instead of solutions
McCain's trying to use it for political reasons and trying to distance himself from Bush, and Obama countered him by going closer to Bush, and now McCain is DONE, he had to retrieve when he found out that the hate wasn't working
even his own campaign and his advisors and supporters acknowledged that McCain had a little trouble in the begining of the week

and oh are you forgeting the countless times McCain could not be heard because people were chanting obama
from diners to auto plants ... that's one case there
and don't forget that the day McCain went to the GM auto plant, after doing his switcharoo on the meaning of fundamentals saying the hard workers were the economy
he went to the GM plant to his fundamentals of the economy(the workers) the workers he apparently loves, and he god booed out, with Obama08! chants in the back and just about everyone at the plant was wearing obama shirts, obama buttons and holding up obama signs

by spreading the hate i meant, going on an angry firing streak
it's what he would've done if he was president right now..he said so himself

"fire him, fire them, fire em all"

where as Obama AND Bush took things calm and relaxed, did not rush in taking harsh decisions, took things calm and slowly and took their steps with caution analyzing their moves, and Obama sat down with top economic people (for lack of a better term) so he could get the details on the situation, details on the problems, details on all the different solutions and details on the solutions in line with his views and beliefs

McCain later retraced his steps to do exactly what bush and obama did AGAIN

You probably gained McCain more votes than leaving the sign alone and untampered with would have. This is because people are tired of the things liberal extremists like yourself are doing around this nation.

I'm tired of ideologues.

you are too extreme avogadro.  we have more than 2 parties but all other third parties are extremist in there ideals and ideology so the majority of people dont like those people.  the two primary parties are not made up of people with uniform opinions and ideas but rather a mixture of people with the same core values.  everyone supports the idea of a third party winning the vote but there is currently no third party candidate that enough people acctually like.  So either way there is going to be a situation where someone doesnt like the candidate choices.  whether there are two large parties or a huge conglomeration of small party choices.  (which we have anyway)  so people like you will never be happy with the choices.

it shocks me..when people try to portray this "good public speaker" as a bad thing...

do we not realize, that being a good speaker to could really up our diplomatic skills, and give us other options than simply just invading every country we think can do us harm...

or is talking to over-rated for the world power?

who said anything about giving them speeches...

all i'm saying is, a good public speaker, a motivational speaker, an insirational speaker, understands the impact that simple words can have
and the different diplomatic options open to you when you understand that bombs, guns, war, nukes aren't neccessary for removing possible threats..

Diplomacy can be a less costly alternative to military conflict, on condition that your motives aren't mutually exclusive with one another. For example, perhaps you have a big power emerging that threatens both of your interests, and as a result you ally yourselves to create a balance of power. Or perhaps you are facing an opponent who has equal power as you do, and an act of aggression would be a risky gamble for the both of you, and so you both agree to make concessions to please each other.

But say you have a small power with no allies and it borders a great power. Lets also say that small power is rich with natural resources. Sadly, that small power is getting owned. It has no bargaining power at all, which is necessary in diplomacy.

As for many diplomatic problems in the world that the US faces, it's in America's best interest to be aggressive.

But the left-wing idea of diplomacy goes something like this:

Leftwinger: Can't we all just get along? Come on guys, lets stop the violence.
Opponent: Sure. We'll stop *acts all friendly*
*Opponent takes advantage of the Leftwingers incompetence in order to acquire a gain at their expense.
