Someone please explain to me how intelligent, educated people can be voting for this doofus (ie my mother. She thinks my sister and I are ignorant and ‘not getting all the facts’ because we watch Fox News.)

Hope.

What argument does he have left for the Presidency — his deep executive and foreign-policy experience?

TEH JUDGEMENT !, ED…TEH JUDGEMENT !

That and his historic candidacy. After all, if you don’t support him you’re a RAAAAAAAAAAACIST !

On the other hand, my devoutly Catholic grandmother refuses to believe my mom when she brings up the BAIPA issue. Good luck changing an 87 yr old’s mind.

My mother in law was willing to listen and I managed to change her mind. I just wish there were more people interested and open minded enough to listen.

All we’ll be getting is a figurehead for Soros and the Left wing to implement policy. He’s been bought and paid for…

Try not to feel too bad. My mom is “voting against McCain” becasue of a picture she once saw of him sneering. She could never vote for someone who sneered like that?!?!?!

My best friend’s mom is voting for Obama because she hates Bush so much and McCain is just like Bush. Again:?!?!?

There’s not too much left of Barry’s platform, is there? Uh, he’s still pro-abortion, doesn’t want drill anywhere, uh, I’m thinking…what’s left?

I have no idea what specifics O! plans to accomplish, but I know these things:
1. they will cost a lot of money;
2. the money will come by increasing taxes; and
3. O! will run all of his ideas by his BFF’s in Europe (after Michelle Ma Belle approves them, of course) before foisting them on us

O!’s vision for us is to model the U.S. economy and social mores after Europe.

But even before the credit market meltdown, we faced (and still face) an entitlement program meltdown of even larger dimensions. Neither candidate has adequately addressed that, but at least John McCain acknowledges its existence and its size.

If Obama nationalizes health care, quality of care will decline and availability of lifesaving care will be reduced, which will result in a much higher mortality rate, particularly among Senior Citizens.

So, you see, the solution to the “entitlement program meltdown” is contained in Obama’s solution to the healthcare crisis. What could be simpler?

Once the US healthcare system has really hit the skids and average US Life Expectancy is down to 67 years or so, Social Security will start running at a surplus! It’s sheer genius!

I wonder what the liberals would say if they have to get gas and it is at 10+ a gallon and they are driving the old POS subaru around. I bet they would be screaming for drilling then too.

Yo! You dissin’ the official State Car of Colorado, the only State where the bike one owns is worth more than their car…?

He gave a speech.

Sheeesh

Doesn’t that account for anything?

“I wanted a middle class tax cut, but we just can’t afford it.”

At least he waited until he was in office before he reneged on his promise.

How anyone supports this imbecile is beyond me. Even further , I cannot fathom on how he waffled on the economy and blamed Bush/ McCain in opposition to all available facts (both past and during the course of last week), yet he gets a big poll bump.

Since when does saying “nobody knows what to do”, waffling and voting “present” amount to leadership, instill confidence and garner support?

BTW- can someone fill me in on why the media was reporting every five minutes that Obama is stronger on economic issues while he has been without any discernible plan… ever… and his record is shit? Better-why do people actually listen?
