Remember the part where I said those on the other side would deny it. I nailed it right on the head did I not? You just did exactly what I predicted. I stand by my statement and think you only helped me make my point. Also thank you for the rant and the personal attacks on my abilities to do my job, it also helps prove the point I made. As for not having anything to say, I have worked many hours since Sunday and to be honest with you have not read through the whole thread and don't care to debate it right now because I am not up to speed on everything that has been stated. I made a reply to another post in general nothing more. When I do have time to read it all, if I have any opinion to make you will be the first to know.
Or this one...
"And when the late Tim Russert asked Obama at a Las Vegas debate about his campaign’s efforts to push the storyline that Team Clinton was stoking racial tensions, Obama said “our supporters, our staff, get overzealous. They start saying things that I would not say.â€
But, he added, “it is my responsibility to make sure that we're setting a clear tone in our campaign.â€
and further... "Obama’s penchant for publicly rebuking his staff stands in sharp contrast to his declarations about how important they are to his management strategy, as well as the all for one, one for all mentality that he encourages in them.
Addressing his campaign at his Chicago headquarters days after clinching the Democratic nomination in early June, Obama lauded his team members for working hard, setting aside their egos and not blaming each other for snafus."
Huh?
They are not as interesting as they started out being. The truth is McCain will win, and over the next four years it will be sour grapes and he stole the election, bla, bla, bla...
No you are looking in the wrong place. If you can post some documented lies Obama has told about McCain please do so.
Your response to the question made no sense.
Just curious, if you are so down on McCain how do you feel about president Bush?
My reply that you quoted was to this:

What is was saying was" No, you did not miss it. You are are looking in the wrong place to find what Obama has "ever done" because the topic was pertaining to lies tolld by McCain. Sorry I should have been more clear.
As to Bush. Fundamentally he is probably a good person but a horrific President.
Ok, to get off topic then. What has Obama ever done?

Obama makes mistakes but in all those cases he retracted or said it was a mistake, even if he only did it to try to save face, at least he admitted it was a mistake.
Obama: "I made a mistake and released all of our secrets to the enemy....My bad"
How is telling a bold faced lie about his uncle and his military events a mistake? His mistake was that he just expected the libs to believe it and didn't count on the rest of the Country to know a little about history.
Yes, beacuse it is easier to flame than debate.
