i hate when people use such generalized languages as 'my liberal friends'... why must always be the dichotomy of liberal vs. conservative and how is it that you can blatantly declare anything liberal as wrong or immoral? that rhetoric reeks of the sort of fundamentalism that we decry so passionatly in the middle east. wtf yo!?

The modern non-conformist: a Conservative.

Yeah vote for McCain and websites like DA will be closed down for good.
And what is wrong with effeminate men? Plenty are fighting for us in Iran right now.
LOL

Effeminate? He never struck me as such, and even if he did, I don't think it'd reveal much of his political ideas. There's a lot of marge between Jackson and him! And Jackon is far beyond any human criterion by now, you can't use our earthly adjectives on the man.

I'm absolutely alright with being against Obama, or anyone elsem but you got to have better reasons than him being "effeminate", which I can't see myself! Point that out to me (what makes him effeminate), and then point out to me in what ways that would be bad. Please!

Then, if you're still answering my comment, give me some good reasons not to vote for Obama (I can't vote anyway, I'm Swiss), so that I can actually know what to argue against him. I don't think that "Don't vote for him! He's effeminate" would convince anyone.

As to people voting for him if he were white, he IS white! He's just as white as he is black, even though everyone apparently believes that half black half white is fully black. Quite possibly, he may get the "black vote", but that isn't a big vote in the country, as African-Americans are about 9% of the population. It's not enough to win, and I don't think the rest care much about his colour. Clinton would have won if people truly cared more for physical features than political ideas, as there are more women than black people in America.

This post is in no way against you, I just am really curious about those things I ask you about. Thank you for your time!

Is McCain that scary?

If it was only for his color I would consider voting for him. Alas, his personality and views are the unfortunate addition that doesn't let me.

Here's the deal. We need to get out of Iraq.
Too much money, too many lives, and what is the real purpose and payoff....
Big Oil is taking control of production in Iraq for the first time in 30 years.
And the price of gas is rising, so what was gained by that?


What's so scary about a democratic president? Even if he is not a caucasian?
Half the stuff clinton passed, like NAFTA, is being supported by the Bush Admin.
anyway. We need to change course and stop making Exxon-Mobil, Walmart, the TSA,
and all the leaches that are feasting off 911 and thewar-on-terror our masters.

I know liberals seem unrealistic to most conservatives, but what could be more unrealistic
than voting for the same party that is screwing us now?

You got me wrong! Nothing is scary about a democratic president, not even his colour or anything (and just pointing out that makes me feel stupid, can't wait for the day nobody cares about that trivial stuff anymore...).

I was just surprised that you said McCain would shut down sites like dA, because McCain doesn't sound very energetic to me, or very charismatic. I know it's only his public persona, but whenever he's on, I feel I need vitamin C.

I quite agree with being against the big lobbies, which I truly hate, and that was the one big positive thing about Obama - that, or so I heard, he didn't take money from such companies, so he could lead without that sort of industrial pressure.

I'm neither a conservative or a liberal, I'm not even American, but I'm interested in that whole thing. As to getting out of Iraq now, I honestly believe it'd be a mistake, unless we manage to get the UN to get in there (which would be best, but I am not very hopeful for that...). Leaving now would create another Afghanistan like it did after in the late 80's, and that'd give power to the Talibans, and we know what happens next. Whether or not Iraq should have been invaded is a different question, which I don't address here, but I think that now that the mess is on, we shouldn't leave until some sort of stability is back. I don't know why it takes so long for Iraq to have its own army, though.

If I were American and able to vote, I honestly don't know who to vote for. None of the candidates please me. I do hope that Obama is as positive as he seems to be, but I feel that's too good to be true. I don't know. That said, I think McCain doesn't stand a lot of chance against Obama.

And yeah, I know Clinton was more rightwing than commonly believed. Even Ann Coulter supported her against McCain. I think none of the parties has an edge now; they're all trying to get as many voters as possible, rather than a contrasting politic, or so I feel.

I hope I didn't bore you with my comment.
