    I'm not...I'm just very disappointed in the field of GOP candidates. I'm not excited about ANY of them....actually...i hate all of them. George Allen would have been great but the drive by's killed him. I really wish Santorum would run b/c I think he could win if he had money!

    Basically...I just want a committed liberal to run against a committed conservative to run. I hate the mushy bullshit guys like Obama and McCain bring to the table.
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things

    Drive-bys? The media was just being fair and objective to the people.

    Rory Fitzpatrick has a better chance of being the NHL MVP and successfully playing pick up stix with his butt cheeks than Osama Obama and the Bears winning.

    Fitting. Both the Bears and Obama suck.

    The drive-by media would never have been able to "kill" George Allen's campaign if Allen hadn't gone out of his way to ridicule a funny looking "Macaca" at a public campaign event. He chose to single out "Macaca" because he knew that doing so would appeal to a certain segment of his constituency. I'm sure that the people the remark was intended for absolutely loved it, but lots of other people didn't.

    do you HONESTLY believe that he thought he was intentionally making a racially insensitive remark? I just don't...and I think it's kind of pathetic that we've reached that point...where someone slips up (obviously it wasnt an intentiaonal racial slur) and their career is ruiend. To me, it's more disturbing that we value people who don't really offer any opions at all, and want to elect them as our next leaders.

    I doubt he had to come up with "macaca" so he wouldn't call the dude a "sand nigger", but I have no doubt in my mind that he picked out the guy who looked different from almost everybody in the room and ridiculed him for the benefit of a segment of the audience that would eat it up. He also exhorted the crowd to "welcome him to America, and the real world of Virginia". Macaca was probably already familiar with the state, being as he was born and raised there.

    I'll remember that next time you post on a public message board.

    Don't be so defensive about your crap team or that crappy celebrity politician. He certainly fits with what liberals think this country needs. He's a star!

    We get it already. Kerry just has a bad sense of timing. Allen, well, he may as well be a Klansman. Like... Ohhhh I don't know... The senior Senator from West Virginia?


    Of course that was a long time ago wasn't it... I really shouldn't bring that up now.

    I'm not a liberal and I can understand your distaste in him. If he was a conservative, I bet you'ld think he was a god. Don't make excuses for your real reasons of not liking him. Fine, you don't agree with his views, no need to tear him down only on the basis of him being likable. I would have easily voted for McCain had he not supported Bush's ass-raping of Iraq.

    Hey, we could be wrong. We think the country might benefit from an Obama campaign and possibly an Obama presidency.

    In 2000 and 2004, conservatives thought that the country needed to elect a semi-literate doofus who likes to play army with other people's sons and daughters.

    Maybe we're both wrong, who knows?

    Actually no. I don't believe in trends. I have a free mind.

    Unlike someone in Chicago that just loves this Obama fever. Catch it!

    I honestly believe you have a distorted view of the opposition. Do you really think there is a significant portion of the VA population that would "eat up" racist remarks? Do you honestly believe that racism has a home in the republican party today? Step outside 1968 and into the presant.

    Feels good being surrounded by your ilk here doesn't it. It's almost as if you were hiding in a temple. No, wait... Mosque. <sigh> That's better.

    Odds are you are right on the last part.
