This whole thread is absolutley absurd, politics isn't about playing nice and praising the other guy, Obama is trash and deserves to be treated as such until he does more than be black.

He's being "un-black" at the moment.  He's also running away from his more extreme positions. He's trying to please you, and yet you scorn his advances.

McCain took a very courageous stand on Lebanon when it was unpopular to do so within his own party, defying Reagan in the process.

All right...

Obama is great at getting his message across to the people of my demographic (18-29); he is an astounding public speaker, and I'm sure he's a pretty interesting fellow to talk to. I'd love to sit down and just chat with him and maybe have a beer or two.

I think he did a great job as a community organizer and I like how Jesse Jackson has criticized his campaign...Obama gets major respect from me there.

McCain decided to stay in a POW camp because he knew it would be good for his career, so I guess I'll give him credit for thinking ahead.

Well this thread was fun but failed. Apparently if some people think the opposing candidate is trash they won't even try to hide it(this goes for both sides), so I guess if anyone wants to have a real argument just try and ignore all of this.

Mccain was my favorite politican from about 2000-3/18/2003. He has always been a fighter against government waste and I love how he tries to reform Washington. Without all this war business who knows who I would vote for.

I switched parties and voted for McCain in 2000 because I sincerely believed he represented a direction for the Republican Party of integrity and social libertarianism which I didn't agree with overall, but which I respected more than I did Bush's policies, and felt would be good for the country given that we have a two-party system. I respect him for his innate resistance to being handled and his desire to say what's on his mind (and here I refrain from qualifying that in a way that would insult him).

I'm not sure I can say anything about McCain that I haven't already said.

He is and always will be one of my heroes.  He's one of the bravest men alive and every time I see his crippled arms, I get choked up...because (I know you'll make fun over this but I don't care) he did that for me.  And for you.  Our veterans are treasures and should be treated as such.

With regard to his politics, well -- all I can say is that I hope the real John McCain is the maverick who ran for President in 2000 and for whom I was prepared to cross party lines.  Thus far, I'm not seeing anyone resembling that.

As to Bob Barr -- he was great in "Borat".   ::: runs :::

Now that this is over:

Sarah Palin...hmm...Sarah Palin is...well...

Give me a minute:

She is genuinely proud of her humble roots and has managed to come quite far, much further than you would expect for someone who has a husband who works up at the North Slope.  She's tenacious and, with a little lot of seasoning, could be a fixture of American politics for the next decade.

I really liked his executive order repealing Executive Order 13233.
