I would say 70% of our youth are pretty stupid and can't think worth crap. Anyone who isn't able to see through Obama's bullshit from the beginning are either stupid or delusional.
Yeah, yeah, bleat on American society hater, bleat on. You obviously don't have any children. Even my 17 year old is taking an interest in the candidate's and the way the country is headed.
TV journalism it's not about investigation or objectivity but sound bytes - and if there's no story then making something out of nothing. The information on the political blogs and what is on TV are completely different. The media journalists are doing their jobs - i.e. the networks are owned by big corporations who benefit from current Republican economic policies - and it's much easier to report about what someone is wearing than truly examining the cause of our country's current economic and other woes.
Mindless, manipulated spouters of conventional wisdom" equals savviness. And, as has been made perfectly clear, nothing trumps that."They simultaneously and openly fret that they're being unfair to Republicans and too biased towards Obama. McCain complaining, to reporters no less, that the media was focusing too much on Obama last week should be the prime example of this.
McCain had been goading Obama for months, challenging his national security credentials -So he goes to Iraq and other countries. So when it turned out to be a success - McCain and the GOP look like jealous, bitter 7th graders who are no longer at the cool kids lunchtable.
The Paris, Brittny ads-only make it look that much worse for the GOP. The latest McCain/Rove offensive plainly appeals to a traditional racist fear: uppity, aggressive black men are coming for our daughters. The press, being irresponsible, and having peculiar standards for what is newsworthy (if someone, somewhere, said it, it's news) always whips These slanders into an intoxicating brew of malice. Lurid references to starlets, blondes, anorexia, etc., are already stoking resentment, suspicion, and hatred. They rely on these tactics because they bring results. I hear a lamb bleating, They are so out of touch with what is going on, that they still consider Paris/Brittny current "hip" news. It's not Obama's fault that he's a popular, charismatic. He didn't give himself any "Messianic" labels like you people & media toads like Tucker Carlson likes to assert every chance he gets.
Indeed it's very laughable all of the labels: "elitist", "arrogance", all of the tired cliches of past elections are being used against a man who grew up in a single-parent home, lived in various countries, worked his way up (not married into it), had loans to pay off.
While McCain is married to a beer heiress. Has $500 shoes, him and his wife's enormous credit card debts ($750K); not paying their property taxes in California; what she spends on clothes - in other words they are part of the country club set. Both come from upper middle class or higher backgrounds. Yet McCain is a man of the people - a "hero." He's the only war veteran I've seen who calls himself a hero, courageous. Yet he's not "arrogant" & "elitist".
It appears both he and the GOP don't even really know the meanings of the words they use to label Obama - making their intellect & insecurity all the more visible.
I wasn't expecting much out of you Obama haters & the GOP - but I was expecting better than "nanny-nanny-poo-poo".
My apologies for the remarks earlier... I got a bit carried away.
You honestly think the majority of American youth is capable of making decisions about the country? The democratic primary was the biggest popularity contest. They were not talking about policies at all, it was about personality. Clinton obviously has more experience than Obama. Obama ran on the fact that he is someone "above the politics", which he clearly isn't as shown from his recent behavior.
I would much rather have the government do nothing (deadlocked between congress vs. president), and have the states pick up the slack. If the democratic party is so great, they would've ended the Iraq war. They would've beaten Bush in the last 2 elections. The Democratic party doesn't stand for anything, and that's why they have lost two elections in a row to Bush. People don't like freebies for the unproductive members of the society. People see it as "us against them" because the country is so different from cities to rural areas. I want a moderate president who is able to see both sides, understand people's difficulties and make the best decision, and Obama is clearly too far to the left to care what rural people have to say. I have lived in San Francisco, inner city, mind you, and now I reside in College Station, TX, possibly one of the most conservative college towns in the USA. We need compromises, and not just to satisfy the demands of one side.
In any case, anyone is better than Bush. I think an Obama presidency with a democratic majority of congress is the worst thing that could happen to this country after 8 years (6 years of unchecked government) of GWB's presidency. I don't support McCain enthusiastically (maybe I would if he were running like how he was back in 2000), but Obama is clearly the more evil one.
