		<description>ShowsOn,

True, but it is proof that my contributions extend the debate. Your monotone of dreary anti McCain snides is hardly enlightening.

Neither is your Edward Scissorhand style.</description>

		<description>[Regardless of your passion for your cause, hundreds of anti McCain posts about the same thing. That is not an extension of the debate.]
What exactly is it you want to debate? You seem to be uncomfortable.
[Usually, he’s just trying to point out that there are two sides to every coin etc…]
Who said there wasn&#039;t?

I&#039;m yet to read on this blog a coherent case for why John McCain would make a better president in the current environment than Obama. I&#039;ve read people say that McCain is like Winston Churchill (without providing any evidence how this is the case), but most of what amounts to McCain support here is actually just incoherent attacks on Obama. For example, people saying he is a left wing extremist, or a liberal elitist.</description>

		<description>GG, this sounds familiar:

[Now you’ve resorted to packing together and whistling in the dark.

Repeating your lies of insecurity a hundred or a thousand times doesn’t make them true.

You guys posts are like the Brothers Grimm fairy tales which were designed to stop children wandering into the forest and coming to harm.

HILLARY is not a witch, she is only a politician.]

The MO has not changed at all, only the name has changed.</description>

		<description>Juliem. 

I think GG provides a fair counterpoint to what is essentially a pro-obama board. I often find myself getting rankled by what he contributes, but usually before i&#039;ve actually thought about it. Usually, he&#039;s just trying to point out that there are two sides to every coin etc...

In regards to McCain winning, it ain&#039;t likely. If he does win, it would require a massive turn-about. To produce such a turnabout Obama would have to mess up massively. I don&#039;t think McCain can really engender this mistake.</description>

		<description>JulieM,

Regardless of your passion for your cause, hundreds of anti McCain posts about the same thing. That is not an extension of the debate.

Luckily, I haven&#039;t lived in the US for 43 years and have a well developed BS detector.

Look in the mirror before you accuse others of trolling.</description>

		<description>[You seem to be quite uncomfortable.]
No. I got a new chair last week which is VERY comfortable.
[Surprise me and blog something new and interesting that extends the discussion.]
OK, but you first.</description>

		<description>GG,

Lets have you constructively put your words where they belong .... Since you are obviously barracking for McCain; would you consider contributing a guess to our informal contest?  We need your guess on electoral votes for McCain&#039;s victory and the answers to our tiebreaker questions - state that will put McCain over the top based up on the CNN count on Election night and will Obama take Missouri?

If you honestly believe in McCain, contribute please :).  We will take any McCain guesses on board, we don&#039;t discriminate.  If you can&#039;t see a path for McCain to win the election, I believe you should lurk for the rest of the campaign and not troll this board any more.

Cheers :)</description>
