1. What a patheticly small turnout?

2. Oh, I dunno, Wiz. It kind of geometrically exceeded the number of leftist with a clue by a factor of 100 or so.

3. Meanwhile, not to be outdone and to show that we can have change because change is doing something different and we hope with the change, the Obamassiah held his own rally of Veterans for Obama.

4. Yes #3, looks like name of all of the esteemed Veterans for Obama will qualify for one of the World's thinnest books.

5. I counted 34 people max. Not exactly an overwhelming turnout.

I'll go with my original comment: pathetic!

McCain is about as dynamic as skim milk.

6. Veterans for McCain. Kinda reminds me of Jews for Hitler.....

7. Too bad for you, Unkl, that people look for actual experience and accomplishments when judging a Presidential candidate. Not just "dynamic presence"...

8.
Yeah Dan;

Too bad for me.

Too bad McCain has none of the above.

9. All Facts,

Just - wow. OK, so we now know you have zero facts. Probably don't know a single veteran, don't talk to anyone in the military, and essentially consider Republicans to be Nazis. I get it. You're an idiot.

Unkl,

OK, here's a qualification for John McCain: Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee.

So what has Obama done? What committee has he chaired? Does he even know which committee he sits on?

10. John McCain -- officially a door mat.

11. And I will ask again (this is about the fourth thread in the last week):

What are Barack Obama's qualifications to be president? What is his experience?

Funny how you democrat shills just refuse to answer that really simple question.

Unkl? "Facts"? Laszlo? Tensor? Demo Kid? Bueller? Bueller?

12. #11 Dan--based on your insight in a previous thread, and since we aren't allowed to use Obama's real middle name, I think we should dub him "Barack Chauncey Obama". A perfect fit!

13. New Obama Slogan!
"Vote for Barack Chauncey Obama and All will be well---in the garden"
Being There

14. Bill,

I love it! Barack Chauncey Obama...:)

And note that in this thread the demohacks go silent - they cannot answer the question about Chauncey's experience because he has none.

15. Dan, you're right--I think EVERYONE notices!

16. "Funny how you democrat shills just refuse to answer that really simple question."

Well, two things here:

* I am not a democrat shill. I'm a registered Republican, and identify as a conservative. If you were able to read simple, declarative English sentences, you would have noticed my critiques of current-day "Republicans" are almost always from the right. That's mostly because today's GOP has completely betrayed its principles to set up a Stalinist cult-of-personality around Mr. Bush, where any disagreement with the Dear Leader is considered prima facie evidence of no longer being conservative. This is Orwellian in the worst sense, but hey.

* Secondly, Mr. Obama's merit or lack thereof is completely irrelevant to the question of Mr. McCain's merits (or lack thereof). So, no, I haven't answered any questions about Obama because, silly me, I thought this was a thread about McCain. And my comment was about McCain.

Frankly, I think your parodistic portrayal of a functionally illiterate "ditto-head" is far more helpful to Democrats than anything I could bring myself to do. It's why I didn't get all the fuss over the New Yorker cover -- after all, Rush Limbaugh has been doing that schtick for years. As has Colbert. My guess is, the DNC pays all three of you.

17. Laszlo,

Perhaps you should remember Ronald Reagan's 11th commandment, and read his speech on compromise.

Apparently, you're one of those radical conservatives that Reagan warned us about...

You'll gladly take an Obama candidacy rather than McCain. Me, I'll take McCain any day, and work for a better candidate next time.

You don't quite get that it's essentially and either/or choice right now, do you?

18. I lived in California for a number of years, and was one handshake away from Reagan through multiple people.

His "11th Commandment" was a joke. I mean that literally -- he intended it as humor. As Jerry Ford, Dick Thornburgh, Anne Gorsuch, and Ray Donovan would be happy to tell you.

As for "either/or"... well, neither one is actually the nominee of their party yet. Though, true, McCain has as much of the stench of defeat around him as Abu Rossi does... and it may well be that both are being thrown to the wolves. ("Better him than me, I'll just run next cycle...")

Bush has been the worst disaster for the party since Hoover. McCain, Abu Rossi, and Reichert are having their small boats swamped by the backwash against Bush.

As a Republican, that gives me no pleasure. It's just the observable reality. (I know the newly ascendant anti-Christian theocrats (Matt 22:21) in the party don't like that sort of thing.)
