You reply to almost all of my posts, wether they are directed towards you or not.

This is P&N and if you search my posts (I promise I'll not call it stalking) you'll find I reply to trollish posts related to the candidate I'm supporting.

Or maybe you are referring to our back and forth in the 'gay marriage' thread? While I'm not gay or stalking you I totally disagree with your bigoted fundie views. I also disagree with your hypocritical bigoted sig which goes back to what I said above. Anyway, nice sig hypocrite.

There really wasnt a back and forth in the gay marriage thread. There was you calling me a bigot every post until I gave up.

Probably talking about your "elitist" picture. From my talks with conservatives, they are some of the most close-minded people I have ever met.
It's either one-way or the high-way (criticizing war policy as one example). And get this - they're PROUD of that kind of thinking. One roommate I had, from Florida, held his nose high in the air b/c he supported Bush while no one else in the apartment did. I consider that elitism - being proud simply b/c you hold a minority opinion.

I also find it funny that people accuse Obama of the elitist label when Dubya himself (for all his verbal misgivings) went to Ivory Tower schools Yale AND Harvard. The elitist label is what I would call a clear indicator of media sources: Rush.

From other forums, I constantly hear people strongly criticizing Obama, while going "whoa" when they hear criticism of McCain. Then conveniently admit "oh he's not my candidate".

Calling Obama an elitist is bigoted?

You know what? I want the President to be smarter than me. I want him to be an intellectual. I want him to have spent every night in the library reading up on politics, history, economics, and philosophy. Since when did "being a guy I can share a beer with" become the key qualification for the most important, most powerful position in the free world? How well did that work out for us the last 8 years?

mccain is looking more and more like a sickly beat up sacrificial lamb that has been staked out in the middle of the pasture for the wolves to come get so the rest of the flock can quietly follow their neocon sheperds back into the dark dank forests from whence they came.

I watched McCain's speech.
I use to like the guy.
Now he looks like a snake oil salesman.
I wouldn?t buy a used car from him, let alone consider giving my vote.

But, I once liked him.
His nose just got a little too brown via GW.
Second thought, make that way too brown. Literally!

McCain's entire campaign staff should be fired.

All his speeches feel like they're held at nursing homes. He draws crowds that couldn't fill a Denny's on Sunday morning.

The reason the crowd doesn't know when to clap, cheer or boo, is because McCain's delivery is robotic. I think the cancer surgery removed some of his ability to deliver facial expressions. He'll deliver a fiery line with a blank stare then follow it up with a smile, and everyone in the crowd can't figure out whether to react or stare.

No... Doubt... I felt the same way... At first I'm like where is the fat chubby cheeks? Then I guess they waxed or taped them up... He looked totally different ....

Also, felt the Smiles are so scripted (robotic) ... Once he smiled like he was waiting for his supporters to cheer ... but I think it even confused him when he didn't get anyone clapping it was really pathetic ... Sigh..... Almost felt sorry for him a little tiny bit...

His image is still too old and I think he already 'LOST'.... It should be a slam dunk for the Dems this go around and if somehow he wins then most likely we know our voting system is corrupt and rigged...

Those "fat, chubby cheeks" are only on one side of his face, and are a direct result of removal of some facial muscles from a cancer operation a few years back. Show some class-we are electing a President, not a male model/TV news anchor. If that was the case, Romney had the role nailed and should be the GOP nominee.

I think what we saw was a campaign flopping around for direction, McCain trying to redefine himself. What Obama needs to do, over and over again from now to the election is to define McCain and keep slamming that definition (in addition to promoting his own merits). "Third Bush term" and "100 years in Iraq" (ie, McCain's fantasy of making USA a colonial power) are the major ways to go.

Every time he opens his mouth he's a joke. Like in Jordan when he didn't know the diff between Sunni/Shiites, yet then brazenly claims he's more "experienced" in foreign policy than Obama. Rofl.

Your name suits you well after that one. I dont know what that had at all to do with my post.

Anyways, if you want a guy that encompases all you just suggested, you're out of luck this fall.

I knew your comment had no substance. Thanks for playing.

:roll: Whatever. Go back to hiding your bigotry behind your beliefs.

With your line of reasoning, aren't you just as, if not more bigoted for hating me for believing something other than what you believe?

Not to get in the middle of a slapfight, but the whole "if you hate bigots then you're a bigot" argument is a pretty crappy one.

Bigot : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

No pissing contest, just trying to denfend myself from outright slander because I hold a different view on something completely unrelated to this thread.

Robor is trolling this thread because he hates that I'm against Gay Marriage.
