Now that we've seen that Barack Obama is a trembling weakling when he doesn't have a teleprompter in front of him, let's examine the character of the man.

Obama thinks his drug use was funny.

Oh, you mean like the millions of references to McCain's age! Oddly enough, you never seem to tire of that issue.

I realize that drug use is a subject that is near and dear to your heart, but you need to kick the substances and get high on excercise. It works.

high on exercise... (none / 0)
Ken is right! Come on guys we all need to get more exercise and dump the gas pump for a better greener future and to battle global warming. Exercise is the key to a healthy nation independent of foreign oil and destructive drilling at home. Exercise can equate to less gas demand (if we walked more and used our bikes more) and therefore less drilling and less profits for Exxon-Mobil.

Great idea Ken, thanks!

Oh yeah, and harmful drugs that kill people such as tobacco and alcohol are bad. Remind me again, how many people die annually of marijuana overdoses?

how to use Republicans to your advantage (none / 0)

KenTX seems to get very upset when we discuss McCain's age.  I've decided that I'm going to hit that topic very hard in the time leading up to the election and encourage others to do so too.  When America is in the midst of such important world events, do we really want a leader who might become confused and demented or die of a heart attack in the middle of a crisis?  My dad died of a sudden heart attack at age 72.  Reality and statistics are on our side to make this argument.  Plus, there are plenty of visuals to lean on.  Don't be nice about it--the Republicans aren't going to play nice, and this isn't a smear, it's the truth.

we might need two posts (none / 0)

One might be more reasonable and well-sourced on the topic of age and its associated problems like forgetfulness, risk of heart attack and stroke, etc.

And another that is pure hollow-point ammunition, with the worst pictures of McCain available.

I realize its all you've got, but this issue is starting to make you guys appear weak and desperate, and McCain appear stronger. The old guy destroyed the stupid, young, inexperienced guy this weekend. The narrative is selling itself.

you can't win either way on this.  Damned if you do, damned if you don't.  But don't fret too much, the diary is already started, with help from my friends.

The next one will be on McCain's confusion over what religion he belongs to.  It will be awesome.

You'd have to to choose that tie.

But don't let his past (and most likely current) drug use stop you from buying into all of his "ideas" hook line and sinker.  Afterall, he lied to you about it, so that makes it better.

that's a Rush tie! (none / 0)
In the early 1990s, when business people still wore ties, I owned many Rush ties. It communicated the silent message, "I'm a conservative, just like you." You would be stunned at the lack of liberals in the business world. I'm talking about the people who make decisions, not the Dilberts.

that photo was not taken in the 90's.

That photo was taken at the hight of Limbaugh's OC junkie streak.

In the 90's he was a bloated fat ass. In that picture he is all sunken in and his eyes are glazed over. I've seen that look before.

Is that tie the sign of a junkie who can afford to pay multiple doctors to write scrips for him and complain about how crack heads are in his pocket? How would you know that exercise man?

I know it's one of his ties.  It says a lot that you owned one of them, let alone "many".  And liberals in the business world, um... right?  Don't see what it has to do with this discussion, but okay.

Now back to the point.  I'll denounce and reject Obama for his adolescent drug experimentation when you denounce and reject Rush for his much more current and much longer lasting drug addiction.

You're still missing the point.

The man that forms all of your opinions is a fucking drug addict and was for years before he "owned up" to it.  He mocked other addicts while being high himself.  While Obama experimented with drugs as a teenager and in college (like most people do) AND "owned up" to it numerous times, yet you keep bringing it up like it means something.

It's an obvious race baiting move, and a particularly weak one at that.  I honestly don't even understand how you think it'll work.

why don't we compare Obama to McCain? ProfRich likes to laugh at his "little T-Rex alligator arms" that don't work well due to war injuries and torture. I expected Fred and bfaul to jump all over Rich for that one, but there was no shaking or anything. McCain has been serving his country for more than 50 years. He was a Senator when Barack was still hittin' the crack pipe.

I can't get over the alligator arms.

I got more on that.

Incidentally, it should be noted Obama never admitted to smoking crack and John McCain does have alligator arms.  Maybe they should play one on one basketball for the white house.

Anyway, I love how you pretend to take the moral high ground and then every time you get called on something you spew back "two wrongs make a right."

Its impressive.  It's what Jesus would have done.

Yeah, we all knew that (none / 0)

Ken is slandering Obama by calling him a crackhead.

McCain said his hardest choice was his "decision" to stay in the prison camp with his men.

Putting aside the apparent reality that Kissinger made this decision for him, what a piece of shit.  He thought about going?

This was a harder decision than leaving his crippled wife for some cheap trollop?

This was a harder decision than taking the Keating Five bribe?

Or the next bribe he got caught on? 

Or the third bribe?

How about his decision to support torture?

His decision to sign the "I'm a  babykiller" confession?

Apparently, all those were relative no-brainers for this shitbird.

McCain is TAINTED by lobbyist money (none / 0)

He says so himself.

"I believe there have been times where I have probably been influenced because the big donor had - buys access to my office, and we know that access is influence. And honestly, that taints us all. It taints me." 

Notice (at about 5:00) he says this was the most painful experience in his life because....

"well, of course, my integrity and honor were were under attack and I'm very pleased that Mr. Bob Bennett, who made the independent investigation recommended that John Glenn (shameless namedropping McCain--totally shameless) and I be completely dropped from the investigation.  But that doesn't mean that I uh, wasn't doing anything wrong."

"I created an appearance of impropriety..."

It's always about being misunderstood isn't it?  No real apology, just more shameless lies same as we get from the Bush Administration. The same corporate puppet masters are controlling the strings. 

Blog it out people!

Hmm... (none / 1)

Obama wants to eliminate discriminatory mandatory minimum sentences for crack, which tend to disproportionately affect black Americans. This is a good position to have, as it doesn't make sense to punish more heavily for crack possession than cocaine possession.

Obama wants to  decriminilize marijuana possession. Given that this drug is not especially habit-forming, and doesn't pose a substantially greater risk to the general public than alcohol or tobacco, to say nothing of the fact that free persons should have the right to exert control over their minds and bodies insofar as they do not affect others, this is not an outrageous position.

Hell, I'm not voting for Obama (the FISA vote was too much for me - please be understanding), but if anything, Obama's stance on these issues only burnishes his character, in my mind.

Klownzo was nobody's sock puppet. He was far too goofy.

He was just some dude who heard on the AM dial or read on the internets somewhere that a good conservative pull toy should go to "liberal" message board and inform them and decided to give it a try.

When confronted with facts he had nothing to say. Lib did a good job presenting facts (now Lib is a sock puppet, BTW).

Maybe Klownzo's world view will change because of us?
