You sure spend an ample amount of time countering threads over there in Austin Bert.

Like the previous poster said, tell us why Obama should be President? A simple question, no? Don't do the "he said she said" blame game. Tell us what Obama brings to the table.

Perhaps you should learn to grow a thicker skin Bert.

I'm flattered by your thread.

Good lord.

Because I've gone over it 500 times already, so doing it again I'm sure will just yield the same results.

This thread is focused on something that HASN'T been gone over yet.

As it stands.... I've not heard any real arguement from anyone on the Obama side cept "You have an issue cause he's black".

The Democrats all seem to have the same stances on the issues.... so like I said on the other thread. What is the difference between BO and HRC. The only one I saw, is he votes "present" on things instead of taking a stand, and HRC actually picks a side.

I don't think it's because he's black so much as because he's someone other than a far-right Republican headed for the White House - every single Democrat in the past 12 years has had to deal with an incredibly well-oiled GOP attack machine bent on portraying anyone slightly to the left of Benito Mussolini as a "radical leftist"

The race thing is just an added bonus, as they can play on racial fears and spin him as Malcolm X reincarnated

Not to mention an army of shamelessly robotic Hannity/Limbaugh-fed drones who can be counted on to parrot the latest far right "talking points" endlessly and in unison anywhere they can spam them.

As to why Obama is the best candidate?

Simple, he's the guy running for President who's not promising four years of "Bush Lite"

McCain, decent enough guy though he may be, is.

There are other reasons I like the guy, but frankly, that's number one, number two, number three and... well you get the picture.
