Then, by all means, I am glad to be a troll.

Now, dat, rite, dar is your problem…

The 19 Muslims responsible for 9/11 is another conspiracy theory.

Right, he could move 130,000 men and women and all their accompanying gear in 6 months. That would be 21,667 soldiers a month or 722 a day. Not possible. And don’t forget the equal number of contractors who will have to be removed. I don’t think that our contractors will want to be left behind at the mercy of the Iraqi’s, who they have been abusing for 7 years. So, double all the numbers and you will see that it is quite impossible to get our people out of there in 6 months.

Obama came up with the 16 months because that was the amount of time the Generals told him it would take to safely and responsibly move our soldiers out of Iraq.

So Nader was for allowing Osama and those who did us harm to just walk away with no consequences. I didn’t know that about Nader. Now I have a good reason to not respect him.

Works for me.

You know Kay, in your own way you are turning into a troll. Fortunately most people here are way too smart to throw away their vote on anyone, much less Cynthia McKinney. If you choose to throw away your vote and help ensure that we have another four years of Republican rule, I guess that’s your right. Between your 911 conspiracy theories and your incessant posts trying to convince us that Obama is a fake and McKinney will some how save us, I have consigned you to troll status.

In other words, we do not recognize Iraq as a sovereign nation. They are now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican party.

Unfortunately for Bush and Company, Barack Obama has no intention of continuing to occupy Iraq against the will of the people.

“Obama: 16 months, but willing to reconsider more time if commanders on the ground want it

McCain: 100 years.

Which do you prefer?”

Ahh…But Obama cannot be trusted to keep his word. He’s “post partisan” remember? Apparently post partisan translates to willing to compromise on anything/everything. I wouldn’t expect this to be any different. We’re screwed no matter who wins in November. Obama has no core principles. He runs from confrontations and will be weak and ineffective president. The perfect embodiment of our current Democratic Congress. McCain isn’t a wimp but he is a Republican and as such we can expect bad ideas poor ideas badly executed. Nader is an egotistical fraud who spends as much time raising money from the corporate interests he so despises as any politician. He runs because he knows he won’t be elected. If he ever was elected, he’d shoot himself. The last thing he wants is to be President.

gummich: Libertarian candiates always poll higher than what they eventually get. Check your history and you will see Libertarian candiates usually ending up at about 0.25% of the vote, as most of their backers in the polls actually end up voting Republican.

Except this year the Republican candidate is widely disliked by conservatives and libertarians alike. If you’d like to cite some numbers comparing pre-election vs. election numbers for the Libertarians, please do so.

54. You asked a question. I’ll provide an answer. Nader is currently polling at 6% and momentum is clearly growing (he qualified in two more states today). Once he gets to 10%, he’ll be invited to take part in the Google/YouTube debates. Won’t a three way debate including a true progressive be more meaningful than a two way debate with two flip-floppers (McCain and Obama) racing for the middle? Once it becomes a true three way race, anything can happen, and the progressive voice will finally be heard. Here are your choices on getting out of Iraq:

According to the Zogby poll more recent than the CNN poll, Nader is pulling 2%. Barr, on the other hand, is pulling 6%. So, assuming your scenario plays out, there will be a four-way debate.

It will never be a “three way race” because neither Nader or Barr has a chance in hell of being elected. We may see Nader’s massive ego drain votes from the Democratic candidate and, thanks to people like you, McCain elected — unless Barr continues to pull votes from the Republican side.
