Reply #141: Ah yes, that piece allows me to place you

While I found it to be very light on substance and heavy on ill found opinions (" I see the real Obama" & body language just for starters) - at least it seems to mark you as somebody that was supporting the more progressive candidates at the outset. SO WAS I. The choices are now Hillary, Obama, and McCain. I have thrown in with Obama but really don't see much of a policy difference between him and Hillary. Backing Hillary in the GE would be easy for me. But when it comes to McCain - his continued backing of the Bush economic and foreign policies make it clear to me that he must be defeated by whom ever the Democratic candidate is. I'm sorry that you can not agree with the Democratic platform enough to see that. Certainly it would be nice to have a more progressive leader than either Hillary or Obama, but if wishes were fishes........ Well, you get the point. I didn't get what I wanted and nor did you - now it's time to deal with what we do have. I find your ongoing tirade to be very impractical and counter productive. I also find your speculative assumptions and your belief that you can some how "see" Obama for what he is (while everybody else some how can not) to make you many of the things that you seem to like to castigate (and do so with out substantive backing of these opinions) Obama for being. It appears to me that you have allowed emotions to get the best of you (often the case here - and often displayed in the form of profanity) and lost sight of what a president McCain would actually mean for this nation. I hope you open your eyes to this soon.

In the mean time might I suggest that back away from words like "egotistic", "phony" and reference to kool-aid drinkers. They discredit your opinions and make you look immature (that is, of course, just my opinion - though I'm sure it is shared by many that would like to see a more civil and substantive debate going on).
