yeah well most folks think she has some interview issues and has difficulty speaking outside of highly choreographed events. but to each his own..

quitting right now would not be a politically viable option. but yeah she needs some work on her interview skills and needs to stop sounding like a talking point post-it gone out of control.

ok ok I made an honest effort not to jump to conclusions about your experience and gave you the benefit of the doubt about your service. but then you throw insults this way and that and you don't even know the people you're insulting. go get checked for PTSD or something cowboy. and avoid the pointless pathetic attempts at physical intimidation via the internet. jeez your making the British Army look bad. oh and also go fuck yourself mate!

I suppose you're suggesting that you ask a wild mad gunman to fight you fair and square? after all only sissies use guns right? you're joking right! have you ever been in combat? and if so (where I come from there is no shortage of guys and gals who are combat vets, so I would not at all be surprised if you said yes) but again did you see a whole lot of wrastling going on? can you catch bullets with your teeth? bottom line is that you don't bring a fist to a gunfight. if you have before and prevailed then your a badder man than I.

good post, to clarify I meant the far left and far right as extremist, I didn't know the common defin. of far left, far right.

yeah it was bad... All she really has to say is that yeah I've never been to Russia and never met russian leaders, but you know what! I know this this and that about foreign relations topics with Russia and here would be an example of what I would do as Vice-President. Instead she spews this other nonsense, probably because she has a dozen or so GOP aides leading her on and letting her be intellectually dishonest. Every election cycle I feel that America is getting more and more polarized between the left and right. However, I think that most normal people can easily agree on many important issues as long as battle lines aren't drawn. People tend to just sharpshoot and divide each other whenever something turns into a us vs. them contest. There is no room in America for a far left and far right. its destroying our nation.

yeah things changed, I came in in 96 and the ages for drinking were similiar to what you described. but now its all 21 almost everywhere.

I think the same thing, he doesn't want to go debate because naturally the debate will shift towards the economic crisis which McCain is weak on. So he deflecting the chance to lose a debate and wait until the heat is passed. If he did debate then he'll probably just barely be able to contain his rage when he is eclipsed by Obama in terms of understanding the current situation.

Thats almost commical. Not to split hairs or anything but history tells us that YOUR country......nevermind. I can understand you. Your pain. Difference is: 3rd Reich killed under false premises which is more than 60 years ago. Your country does it still nowadays. And calls it legal. wow, comparing the U.S. death penalty laws with the 3rd Reich? you can't seriously believe that?

17 and 21 but you already knew that. We don't shoot at Iraqis. In fact most of the time we get shot at, its by foreign extremists from other countries who came there specifically to fight us. Now I'm not sure about hospitably where you come from but we like to honor our guests by giving them what they came for.

exactly right!

Close Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Infantry Division, 25th Infantry Division. It's a little tough to follow if your in a different branch. no no no Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment, 25th Infantry Division. Tropic Lighting!

Dude, yes things are bad, you sound like you are suggesting anarchy or something. what is it you propose?

????? btw vote Obama/Biden 08

DUDE, you're answering your own post. take your pills next time before you jump.

Dude are you bipolar or something?

An agnostic is an atheist with a brain. not really, its someone who won't pick a hole, let alone run with it. (football analogy) (a person who can't/won't make a decision to either side) This is not necessarily bad , but christianity doesn't except undecided positions, well then, I guess they believe in the possibility of god outside a specific religious context, shit.... screw it this is a dumb topic. let go jump!...... Christians believe in God due to faith. When you get to the bottom of it, they must choose to have faith based on some deep inner conviction. Atheism is a word constructed out of a Christian world-view to define and sometimes villianize somebody different than them. But lets get real do you call a guy who doesn't eat pizza a non-pizza eater? yeah yeah there are non-drinkers but you get the point. either way I've learned that it foolish to argue about such things. People will believe what they will.....and folks should respect that. oh about the quote "There's no atheists in foxholes" that's a load of crap, don't ask me how I know...

btw, vote for SEN. Barack Obama and SEN. Joe Biden!

I was in Iraq during the surge, during the surge the violence decreased in Baghdad and spread or squirted to other areas of Iraq. And of course we use soft terms like violence, but we all know what they represent. dead folks, good and bad, some recently married, some just poor farmers.... suffering that cannot be refined. anyway as... far as the surge working I guess you could weigh it in several different methods. Violence in Baghdad is down, so i think that of course the surge successfully suppressed the violence in Baghdad. (or course its far from what any sane person would except) But what else would happen when you send more troops into any one area? of course we'll secure the shit if given enough folks, but thats the central question isn't? How many of us have to continuously rotate over there before we all individually have 3-4-5 years in Iraq and Afghanistan? Is there an end? The surge is supposed to give room for Iraq to make lasting political reconciliation. I'm not sure if that has happened or not as I am not privy to that info. But I hear most people say no. I can only speak for myself but I feel that the military specifically the Army and Marines are wondering what are we supposed to do? Someone created a huge mess and pretty much left it up to the us to figure out. Don't get me wrong.. I am not against the mission but a more important discussion should be had by those who want to talk about the war. What exactly is America's strategic objective over there? I think the answer is a little more clear in Afghanistan. But in closing I'll say that someone against the surge shouldn't be flamed. They are asking the same questions that many Soldiers want to know and as a Soldier myself I appreciate with the same sincerity any person who is for or against this conflict. sorry for the long post.

dude go jump or something... all you do is post here. Maybe you should start a blog! also please use spell check more often.

Yeah I have at least two close friends who went to Punahou. I am from Hawaii. Its a good school but most of my friend's aren't rolling in the dough, neither they or their families were well connected or rich. You may have been snowed by folks looking to reach for anything to accuse Obama of elitism, while the same folks ignore the same thing in the other candidate.

Too many in these forums will dismiss an opinion due to bad grammar, spelling or punctuation. It a shame these people are so narrow minded. Some genius' cannot talk or move properly let alone write. and by the way, You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a Pig! ok screw the bad spelling what did you mean by 6 years rushmc? I assumed you thought that presidential elections were every 6 years. That's not a small mistake.

did you read his post? its garbage..

Like? I doubt any are as stupid as saying that because you can see Russia from an island in your state you will be able to deal with Russia better. Any one can make a mistake in a speech but to be using this as a platform is idiotic. It is turly sad that you can not see this or choose not to see it. Perhaps you can show how working as a Senator from a midwestern state for 143 days gives Obama any insight into Russian matters? Because he doesn't sound like a parrot. any how many times does a VP candidate need to use "hell bent" to describe things..

dude, which mail order religious zealot skool did you buy your degree in Retardology from....
