@mercator I’ve lost hope because most people can’t say what’s good about their side’s ideas, they can only insult the other side. I’m talking about people like, well, you. Thanks for helping illustrate my point! Although, your earth map projection IS the best one around. Good job on that.
@wonder6oy:
Barack’s campaign was very clear about the issues he stands for. Maybe you just don’t agree with them. that could be.
Someone could spell them out for you.. But what stopped you from doing the research yourself if you wanted to know so badly.
However, you might think that “he’s a great speaker” and “everyone else loves him” aren’t good selling points.
But i think the way he has motived people is a very good quality for a president.
After all, an hopefull and inspired country will be able to do a lot more then a country without it.
He’s going to be the president now anyway, and he can’t posibly do any worse then Bush did.
So just give him a chance.
@Bully:
Hey – maybe you can help me out! You see, I DID research (heavily) to discover those “issues he stands for”, and aside from pandering, playing politics, and furthering his career, I really couldn’t find anything of substance.
And I DO think that ““he’s a great speaker” and “everyone else loves him” are VERY good selling points (Lord knows we need it), just not by themselves!
You know what’s crazy? Since his very brief verifiable history shows him to be a fluttering windsock in a changing political climate, my greatest hope for our country right now is that he continues to live up to that unstable but charming reputation and drop many of his frightening economic and social ideas in favor of alternate policies that wont leave our country in ruins. By all accounts, this scenario actually seems somewhat likely.
And are you kidding? He can ABSOLUTELY do worse than Bush! I too certainly have my issues with the man, but this whole “everything wrong with America is because of Bush” mentality is a view completely removed from reality.
@wonder6oy: Obama is intelligent, has the sense to pick good advisors, cares about the nation and the people who make it a nation (that’s us, the middle class mostly), and was endorsed by at least four senior *Republican* statesmen, including Colin Powell, who served as Bush’s Secretary of State (as logn as he could stomach it, I believe). Furthermore, Obama is young enough to survive 8 years in the White House (barring nutjobs deciding they didn’t like the results of the election and taking matters into their own hands, like George Lincoln Rockwell would have done if he’d ever though of it, and if he hadn’t been a sniveling little coward), so we can expect some continuity when he manages to get Congress to back projects that last longer than a couple of weeks.
I’m glad he won, and even happier that the Republicans lost. The GOP has done more economic harm to America in the past 8 years than the Axis did in World War Two; and the GOP is supposed to be on “our” side!
He might do worse than Bush; anything is possible. But it would take some serious and obvious effort to do that. What we don’t need is four more years of Bush, and that’s what McCain and Trailer Trash Barbie would have given us.
That’s another thing I’m truly sick of…
namecalling.
I can see mountains from my house. That doesn’t make me an expert geologist.
