    lol You just sold his statement for him...
    What, voting for a moderate conservative who leans left? I don't think thats a hard thing to do for a person with centrists views.

    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've been hoping he'd run long before he was even considered a possible candidate. Stop making excuses.

    Sure. Why not. But you missed my point... But it's OK. I'm tired of this thread.

    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.

    I didn't call any of them racists. I said that there was a portion of the audience that responded favorably when Allen went out of his way to point out and ridicule a guy who looked different than the other 99% of the people in the room.

    Put it this way: If the dude from Webb's campaign had been white, would Allen have addressed him with a nonsense word like "Macaca" or welcomed him to America?

    Aw, I thought we were having a real discussion. I'm supposed to step out of 1968 and into the pissant?

    No, I believe he meant present.

    Another reason to like Obama? He's caused all the veins in the hard-line, unswayable conservatives necks to bulge.

    If he stays this untouchable now that the shit will really be slung at him, I suspect those veins will start popping.

    Not really.

    Essentially, he established an illegal dictatorship. He ignored the constitution and enlarged the federal government.

    He did poorly.

    LOL, I'm not being militant here - I'm just curious how you can feel comfortable making such asertions. Is it becuase you're on a message board, or do you truly feel that Lincoln did a poor job as president?

    Seriously, how does it make you feel that pretty much nobody would agree with you in terms of academics or historians, aside from basically most of the world...

    Obama is just what this country needs right now. Sometimes you just need a leader who the country can believe in and bring the country back together. Does he have ALL the right ideas? No. Does he have some very good ideas? Yes. Is 4 years as a US Senator too little experience to lead a nation? Not a chance.

    Much Agreed... I think it is his race to lose.

    Republicans are skeered of Obama. They should be. Thats why they resort to trying to discredit the man by emphasising his, actually rather common middle name, and playing up that his last name rhymes with osama. Its very Kindergarten. Here, have a grahm cracker and a carton of milk, its almost centers time. Freakin' babies.
    Furthermore, how much experience did Bush have? Thats a stupid fuckin' argument.
    The problem is the right will obviously say he's to liberal, and the left will say he isn't liberal enough. They're both so far off the fuckin' charts that someone sensible freaks 'em out a little bit.

    Yeah, I've watched Sean Hanity and O'Reilly bash the guy already for no good reason other than he doesn't represent "THEIR" values or something. Republicans better choose the right time to pounce on Obama, or it will end up backfiring on them.

    Here's how I see it playing out... McCain and the other frontrunner Republicans will go on record supporting the "surge" which will fail miserably. Therefore, the Republicans are toast, as the surge will unravel and the troops will come home humiliated right before the election. That means the 08 race is between Hillary and Obama.

    Can anyone give me a justifiable reason to vote for Barak Obama, without invoking the name of anyone else?

    I think he honestly wants to bring a new style of politics to America, and get away from the bipartisan crap that has enveloped Washington ever since Clinton took the White House.

    He is young and isn't tied to a party line or a voting record. He hasn't been corrupted by Washington. He is extremely well spoken and very intelligent.

    I think he is the most honest politician I've ever heard of. He has admited to using coke and pot, and doesn't hide from that or deflect it. That speaks alot to me about his character, and lessens my skepticism about his sincerity towards a new style of politics.
