I'm not having any of the blame McCain crap that some on the right are doing. there is no current Republican that could have done substantially better than what McCain did.

who else gets booed at their own rally? remember that happened to McCain that one time when he had to take the mike away from that nutty lady who was saying something about Arab or terrorist, I'm not sure which. he had to reprimand his own people and say look we're not going there. that kinda shows you the character of the man.

I don't have the same opinion of Obama. he has not been forthcoming and imo not suitable for the job. however i'm not the kind that hopes for all kinds of bad things to happen now just to prove that i was right about him. I wouldn't mind being wrong about him, but at the same time I'm not optimistic about our future.

If McCain was a Democrat you would have voted against him too. Sorry dude, but your opinion is so clouded in Republican devotion your view of Obama could not possibly be positive.

You should be proud that YOUR state senator has risen to the highest post in all of the world. His ascension mirrors that of the GREATEST President ever... right down to the state affiliation.

Yes I know, and I was wrong. I made the call for McCain in January, a lot transpired since then that I never could have imagined. I stuck with him to the end, not being a big believer in poll accuracy. turns out they were.

The Wall-Street-Gone-Wild-Bush-Cheney-Economic-Meltdown was the final nail in McCain's coffin.


Hell, the dem's could've thrown a DaHoss9698-Morty ticket out there and still prevailed in this election cycle. lol

Do ya have the midnight shift at the turnpike? God I hope not.

Mortimer 11-05-2008 12:08 PM

So far down even your Petey ending threads won't save his sorry behind.

you assume way too much. your hypothetical assumption that I would vote against McCain if he were a Democrat leaves out who the Republican would be running against him. I would have no trouble voting for McCain as a Democrat if say the Republican nominee were Huckabee. I would have voted for Hillary Clinton before Huckabee. Obama vs. Huckabee would have left me no choice but to blow my brains out.

Rooting for the home team is not my style in politics. I'm in it for the principles, not to get free stuff or to say "hey, our local guy won". Are you proud of all politicians from your neck of the woods irrespective of their policies?

SportyFans....I have come to find that all know-it-nones like to throw out innocuous blabs and then say..."lol."



You know they are cheap speed when you see that.

HELLS no. I'm a New Yorker through and through but the red tape in this state has really got me hot and bothered lately. I didn't even get to vote because of it. http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=28

I understand your discounting of Huckabee. He was too right for even the most conservative Republicans. Where does Obama fall down from a policy perspective for you? Don't tell me taxes... because I'm 100% sure you don't make enough money to have it hurt you (as do 98% of the population).

So you know, for full disclosure, I was a Hillary supporter but I would have voted for Obama (if given the chance)- the decision being made when Palin was selected as McCain's VP (which HAD to be taken into account given his age and health). McCain on a standalone basis, while I disagree with his anti-gambling policies and military stance, he'd have been a fine leader of this great country. If it was Edwards vs. McCain, McCain would have gotten my vote. Financially, he'd have made more sense for me. But Obama really reminds me of what I've read about Lincoln. Please do your best to stand behind him and not take a radical right stance against that the world is over.

Comparing Lincoln to Obama is like comparing a Ferrari to a Volkswagon

If you lived in Lincoln's time you would have been plotting his assassination.
