		<description>I really think these idiots have no clue they&#039;re being racist at all. They&#039;re so used to acting that way.

This is more about the realization and resistance to change these behaviors they&#039;ve been engaging in since birth, than anything their candidate of last resort (McCain) represents.</description>

		<description>Have we &lt;em&gt;forgotten&lt;/em&gt; when Michelle Obama introduced her husband as &quot;my baby&#039;s daddy&quot; when he won the senate seat in 2004!!!!!

Seriously...she used the term herself, and now its coming back to haunt her....&lt;strong&gt;please, get over it!&lt;/strong&gt; and check your facts!

If you want to have a leg to stand on when fighting against inappropriate language you certaintly cannot use that language yourself!</description>

		<description>Nice personal insults, you racist creep.

You &quot;love black people&quot;? Oh yeah, I&#039;m sure some of your best friends are black! Goody for you. I&#039;ll bet you even let them come in the front door, don&#039;t you? What a humanitarian. 

My calling you a racist has to do with your words HERE on this site, Prytania - and you have only yourself to blame. You said the words - you need to own them.

Posting personal insults about my appearance or my MySpace page is simply juvenile bullshit - oh, but you&#039;re very good at bullshit, right?

You have no way to refute my words - so you resort to posting ad hominem attacks. Nice going, racist. Lame. Lame. Lame.

Screw you, racist trash.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t you mean just &quot;he&#039;s black&quot;, Prytania? 

His age has nothing to do with it. His experience? More of the reichwing smoke you&#039;re trying to blow up our asses - he has more relevant experience than Chimpy, but that didn&#039;t stop you morons from voting for *him*, did it? 

Obama&#039;s got a HUGE brain and a reputation for being cool and calm under pressure. He&#039;s respected by his constituents and his collegues - and the rest of the world, for that matter. 

You&#039;re good at bullshit, and that&#039;s all. You&#039;re simply making excuses for your racism. Why don&#039;t you be honest about it? You hate black people.</description>

Mc Cain is not my candidate. He was chosen by the media and I don’t think he has the temperment for the job. His age is also a factor. I could have voted for Hillary.
________________________________________________

So I guess you will be staying home in November?  Or are you going to vote for a third party candidate?  Or are you going to keep your mind open and make your decision later?

Yes, I know it sucks when you don&#039;t like either one of the two major party candidates.  Heaven knows that&#039;s happened to me often enough.  Fortunately, I like one of them this year, and I can go into the voting booth with optimism instead of just voting for the &quot;least objectionable&quot;.</description>

His lack of experience for one missmolly. Nobody equates the low approval ratings for the Senate, which Obama is a part of. I know Mc Cain is a Senator, but he was not my candidate. Senators vote on laws and approve money. They do a few other things, poorly, and they don’t have the experience that Governor’s or the General’s have. We still don’t have any clue as to who he will name to certain cabinet posistions. He is the highest rated liberal in the Senate. He’s already said he is going to raise taxes. Zereo foreign policy experience is what scares me the most. And right now his only positive is, “Change”. I agree we need change. But in the times that we are in, and the mess that needs to be cleaned up, I do not feel that someone as inexperienced as Obama is, is the right choice. I have many friends who voted for Hillary in the primaries, and they are feeling the same thing.

OK, let&#039;s take your arguments one at a time.

1.  &quot;His lack of experience.&quot;  It&#039;s true that McCain has more years as a Senator than Obama does.  However, Obama has 12 years of experience holding elected office, which is more than Dubya had when he was elected.  Or Ronald Reagan.  Or Jimmy Carter.  Or several others.  He even has more years holding elected office than Hillary, yet Hillary spend a good portion of her campaign touting her &quot;experience&quot;.  I guess it all boils down to what &quot;experience&quot; you are looking for.

2.  &quot;Low approval ratings of the Senate.&quot;  You&#039;re going to blame Obama for that?  Hillary Clinton and John McCain are also U.S. Senators.  The Congressional approval rating as a whole is quite low, but Obama&#039;s rating among his constituents is quite high.

3.  &quot;Senators don&#039;t have the experience that Governors and Generals have.&quot;  This is true.  However, Governors don&#039;t have the experience that people who hold national office have.  And as a Senator, he already has more foreign policy experience than any Governor.

4.  &quot;He is the &#039;highest rated liberal&#039; in the Senate.&quot;  What does that mean, exactly?  That he is considered to be the &quot;most liberal&quot;?  Or he has the highest quality rating among the liberal Senators?  And who is doing this rating?  Surely he&#039;s not more liberal than Ted Kennedy, or Barbara Mikulsi, or several others I can think of.  In fact, on some issues, I wish Obama was more liberal than he is.

5.  &quot;He&#039;s already said he is going to raise taxes.&quot;  Yes -- on the richest Americans who have been benefitting by tax cuts that are bankrupting us.  Obama is merely going to restore the tax rates that were in place during the Clinton era.  And you may recall that Clinton undid the Reagan tax cuts for the rich and our economy didn&#039;t suffer.  In fact, the economy during the Clinton years was pretty good.

6.  &quot;Zero foreign policy experience is what scares me the most.&quot;  Um...Dubya came into office with less foreign policy experience than Obama has now.  That didn&#039;t scare you?  It should have.  See #3.

OK -- so who do YOU think is a better choice?  McCain?  The guy who wants to keep the situation in Iraq going on indefinitely?  The guy who wants to bomb Iran?  The guy who is so controlled by lobbyists that he flip-flops on virtually every issue?  The guy who wants to cut taxes for the rich even more than they are now AND wants to cut taxes for corporations?  They guy who thinks that the best way to deal with the health care crisis is more deregulation?  THAT guy?</description>

		<description>Pry,
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a liberal and being the &quot;most liberal&quot; is surely a bonus. 

Look at what your chimpy did to the US and the world. I&#039;m sure you know your shit, and you should chose the next President. I&#039;m sure over 85% of the public are wrong and you are right. You&#039;re a primer troll.



That&#039;s the problem with Washington; too long doing the same thing with deadly results.</description>

Question for all you Obama supporters? Why would he come out and say that, “Michelle is off-limits”? &lt;/blockquote&gt;

Um... perhaps because HE&#039;s the one running for President, not her?

And perhaps because he has some sense of gentility (awfully elitist concept, that) and some sense of decorum and expects the press and Republicans to treat a candidate&#039;s wife with some modicum of decency, even respect?

Yeah, it&#039;s a naive hope, especially given the track record of Republicans in this area, but you gotta give him credit for trying.</description>

		<description>DRxj: this troll doesn&#039;t make sense, Sen. Obama family is racially diverse, his children are white. So the troll is saying Michelle hates her kids and her husband.</description>
