THE LIBERAL THREAD #3- No Debate Please

[marybet]

I think we should all say we will only vote for Obama. The polls show that more Obama people will still vote for Clinton than Clinton people will vote for Obama and I think Hillary will use that argument with the Super Delegates.
So we all need to start lying to the pollsters.

It looks as if McSame is going to use the elitist strategy on Obama. When asked on Today about his failure to get the NC republicans to stop that ad, he said well Obama needs to apologize for his elitist remarks about guns, religion and bitter people. This is somehow taking the high road?

Well, he came off as the hero for saying he's agains the ad, but still gets to reap the benefits of the ad being shown.

We need some state Democratic parties to start running attack ads against him, have whichever Dem gets the nomination to say they are against it, and then have the ad show anyway. We can all play that game...

I love the one the DNC is running on CNN. It's the famous "are you better off now" question sprinkled with quotes showing how McCain simply can't see the reality of what Americans are facing.

Would never vote for McCain against either of these candidates. However...I'm still up in the air as to whether I'd mark that box next to Hillary's name. Would just feel too much like I was endorsing the way she would have to have gotten the nomination.

In the end, I'm not too concerned about the odds of either of us having to hold our noses this go 'round, but I have a feeling that if Hill somehow pulls off the nomination, you'd be on board. LuvDuke and her spool of 130 lbs test will see to that, I'm sure!

McCain was asked point blank on the Today Show, after seeing that ad, if Americans were better off and he flatly said, "no." This guy is the king of all flip floppers to be sure. Does anyone have any idea what he's going to say next?

And I'm bringing the beverage to dull the pain....

 

[MassJester]

I could see myself voting for McCain.

Of course, I'd have to be forced at gunpoint, but the never the less I can picture the circumstance.

The differences between Obama and Clinton are so small when put up against the chasm between either of them and the re-run candidate that I will cheerfully vote Democrat even if my choice doesn't win the primary.

As for Cons being thinkers rather than feelers--that works for me--I've generally found them to be an unfeeling lot. A "me first, and shaft everyone else" collection of political philosophies completely incompatible with Christian ethics. I say we concede the point.

I'm more interested in the dichotomy between the large percentage of religious folks on the Right and the idea that "feeling" that others deserve help is a bad thing. I had been having an increasingly difficult time in the last few years reconciling what I was taught in church every week from what I saw the Republican party doing-which was one of the reasons I left. I kept hearing the verse from Matthew's Gospel about "whatsoever you do to the least of My brethren, you do unto Me". To me, that meant when I said that someone doesn't deserve help, or deserves to be tortured or doesn't deserve the same rights that I have-I was saying that to Jesus.

I know that many here aren't believers and I don't mean to offend by posting the above-I just don't know any other way to explain my thought process on the whole "feeling for others" thing.

I wouldn't stay up late trying to reconcile hypocrisy.

I am with you 100% and never thought I would say it..Her use of Osama Bin Laden in her campaign ad reeked of Bush and Co and I am really repulsed.

 

[LoraJ]

Yup.
