		<description>&lt;em&gt;Tracy5 Says:

McCain’s foreign policy experience is light years ahead of Obama’s. McCain’s life experience in general is almost twice that of Obama’s.&lt;/em&gt;

McCain&#039;s foreign policy &quot;experience&quot; has cost more than 4000 US soldiers dead, more than 30,000 US soldiers horribly maimed, and   untold numbers of US soldiers with Post Traumatic Syndrome Disorder. For what? For Weapons of Mass Destruction? For democracy in Iraq?

No, for your oil stocks.

You don&#039;t give a rat&#039;s ass for either American soldiers or the Iraqi people.

You are the worst scum of the earth. 

Change is coming you dirtbag.</description>

		<description>tRacist, you still have given no reason that you support McCain, other than a vague notion of his experience. 

Would that be his &quot;experience&quot; of voting against his own immigration bill? 

Would that be his &quot;experience&quot; of flip-flopping several times on abortion?

Would that be his &quot;experience&quot; of corruption in the Keating 5 criminal Saving and Loan scandal?

Would that be his &quot;experience&quot; of being a serial adulterer and leaving his disabled wife for a millionaire&#039;s daughter?

Would that be his &quot;experience&quot; of abandoning his family?

Or, perhaps, tRacist, it is just his experience of being a white man.</description>

“Now tRacist, tell me why you support John W. McSame.”

He has the experience necessary to be POTUS. Obama doesn’t.&lt;/em&gt;

That&#039;s it! That&#039;s all you&#039;ve got! How pathetic!  Something tells me there is another reason you hate Barak Obama, tRacist.

&lt;em&gt;Tracy5 Says:

Things I don’t support McCain on:

Illegal immigration…he isn’t near tough enough.&lt;/em&gt;

Are you talking about one of McCain&#039;s dozens of 180 degree turn FLIP-FLOPS, when he voted against his own immigration bill?  What a freaking joke!</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Tracy5 Says: 

Then why are you supporting Obama?&lt;/em&gt;

Obama will repeal Bush&#039;s tax cuts for those making over $250,000/year.

Obama is against CAFTA and will rework NAFTA.

Obama will also pressure the World Trade Organization to enforce trade agreements and stop countries from continuing unfair government subsidies to foreign exporters and nontariff barriers on U.S. exports. 

Obama will invest $150 billion over 10 years to advance the next generation of biofuels and fuel infrastructure, accelerate the commercialization of plug-in hybrids, promote development of commercial scale renewable energy, invest in low emissions coal plants, and begin transition to a new digital electricity grid. The plan will also invest in America&#039;s highly-skilled manufacturing workforce and manufacturing centers to ensure that American workers have the skills and tools they need to pioneer the first wave of green technologies that will be in high demand throughout the world. 

Barack Obama supports doubling federal funding for basic research and changing the posture of our federal government from being one of the most anti-science administrations in American history to one that embraces science and technology.

Obama believes that workers should have the freedom to choose whether to join a union without harassment or intimidation from their employers. Obama cosponsored and is strong advocate for the Employee Free Choice Act, a bipartisan effort to assure that workers can exercise their right to organize. He will continue to fight for EFCA&#039;s passage and sign it into law. 

Obama has fought the Bush National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) efforts to strip workers of their right to organize. He is a cosponsor of legislation to overturn the NLRB&#039;s &quot;Kentucky River&quot; decisions classifying hundreds of thousands of nurses, construction, and professional workers as &quot;supervisors&quot; who are not protected by federal labor laws. 

Obama supports the right of workers to bargain collectively and strike if necessary. He will work to ban the permanent replacement of striking workers, so workers can stand up for themselves without worrying about losing their livelihoods. 

Barack Obama will raise the minimum wage, index it to inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit to make sure that full-time workers earn a living wage that allows them to raise their families and pay for basic needs. 

That is only a part of the reason I support Barak Obama over a third term for George W. Bush, should I go on?

Now tRacist, tell me why you support John W. McSame.</description>

		<description>Ah, poor Tracist. Got nothin&#039;, eh?

Tough being a lying Republican these days, since everyone now knows that Republicans are liars.

That is the crux of the Republican&#039;s problem, and why they only have support of the 25% deadenders. Once everyone knows you are a liar, only liars will believe you.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Tracy5 Says: 

Again if I were to have said “one” or “few” wouldn’t have made any difference to my argument. Explain why it made a difference to you.&lt;/em&gt;

That is your problem, and that is why you can&#039;t even tell when your Republican leaders are lying to you.  You act as if there is no difference between &quot;one attack&quot; and a &quot;wave of attacks&quot; because minimizing the violence served your purpose at the time.  That is what liars do, and that is why you continue to support the lying Republicans.

Liars of a feather stick together.</description>

You are supporting Obama…aren’t you?&lt;/em&gt;

Absolutely!  I know you aren&#039;t, are you Tracist? No, you will stick with the Republicans who have lied to you over and over again these many years.

Why is that Tracist? Could it be that you like for your Republican leaders to lie to you because you are a liar yourself? Or, is there another reason?</description>

Intent is important here and I had no intent to be deceitful.&lt;/em&gt;

Let&#039;s see. You referred to a &quot;wave of attacks&quot; as &quot;one attack&quot; in order to make it sound as if the media was in a &quot;frenzy&quot; over nothing. Now, you claim that you had no intent to do so, even though diminishing the violence was the crux of your argument, and I am supposed to believe you.

Sorry Tracist. This may be hard for a Republican like you to understand, but I am not a dumbass Republican who can be fooled over and over again by liars.</description>

Now Tracist. That reference to &lt;strong&gt;one attack was the entire premise of your argument. It wasn&#039;t a mistake.  You lied and you got caught. Just admit it for once.

		<description>&lt;em&gt;Tracy5 Says: 

The topic of the thread is the recent terrorist &lt;strong&gt;attacks&lt;/strong&gt; that happened just after al-Maliki’s claim that terrorism had been defeated in Iraq.&lt;/em&gt;

Oh, so now you finally admit that it was more than one attack?

Why were you lying when you said this yesterday?

If 25% of the US population was either dead or refugees—-do you think that should be in the news? If one in eight American children died before the age of five, would that be all right with you if that was in the news?&lt;/em&gt;

That depends. If the dead or refugee 25% of the US population were brown and black people, and if the death of one in eight American children before the age of five caused Tracist&#039;s oil stock price to go up, he would be all for it.</description>

		<description>Maybe what you think the media is doing is all in your mind.  They are reporting things that are newsworthy.  If nothing happens, it is not news.</description>
