You are an obvious troll, and my only reply to your bleating is:

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA

He is really doing well overseas isn't he? Meanwhile Grampa McDepends is firing more of his staffers, demonstrating that all his experience only made him stupider, and has become totally unhinged that Maliki actually prefers

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA's

sensible and well-consider plan to leave Iraq.

Over the last 28 years, we have learned two things:

1) Everything that Reagan and other repukeliscum morons said is wrong. Reagan said we did not need high CAFE standards, and now the Japs are destroying our car industry. He took out the solar panels, and now solar is what we need. Conservatism has demonstrated that it is intellectually bankrupt and just a con game to steal all of the money from our grandchildren.

2) Everything that Carter said was right. He opposed the Soviets in Afghanistan, and did a great job. Reagan gave missiles to our enemies in Iran, and created the terrible state there. Then Reagan and Rumsfeld gave poison gas to Saddam and he used it to kill the Kurds. Reagan was wrong about everything and Carter was right about everything.

But you, being a conservaturd, are too stupid to admit the truth. 30 years after Carter/Reagan, the path to Reagan has been a disaster, and the path away from Carter's ideas has taken us the wrong direction.

You are correct to a degree. However, here is the common situation:

1) Person self-identifies as Democrat

2) Person indicates opposition to Obama

3) Person says that they have never voted in 40 years for a Republican, but they will vote for McCain.

Well, at that point, my TROLL-DAR fires off. Any person who is a faithful democrat for 40 years simply could not vote for McCain. It's simply not possible. They must be a troll.

Hey, great piece. I am also a grad of the University of Illinois - GO YOU ILLINI!! I will be taking my twins to U of I in 1 month to start their university experience there. I really enjoyed my time at the U of I, but my attorney has advised that I limit the specifics of exactly what I really enjoyed. I also have not discussed these specifics with my kids. Time for that later, on my deathbed I think.

Good piece about reasoning with your friend. The problem, of course, is that politics is often not a reasoning exercize. That is why the PUMA trolls are such assholes.

The movie was, like many comic book movies, a huge mess of blowing up of stuff. While the scene of the big truck was really really cool, the whole notion of one set of bombs being rigged after another just became annoying. I am addicted to logic, a problem with comic-book movies I know, but aren't people just a teensy bit confused by how two ferries could be rigged with about 100 barrels filled with liquid gasoline and fuses? Doesn't this strain something?

On the more supportive side, I thought that the Joker was played with a fiendish and anarchic zeal that I found simply amazing. He is the movie. Too bad he passed.

What's wonderful is that Hillary's huge debt will stop her from running ever again. She will never be able to raise money because the huge debt will act as a total bar. If you give money, she will have to service the debt. Although she thinks that raising money is easy, it is not unless you look viable.

She will never be POTUS. Good.

Well, I've taken the Pledge.

"I pledge to NEVER VOTE FOR ANY WOMAN FOR POTUS if Obama is not elected."

Most of these people are just racists. They don't support Obama because they don't want a president who is a "mud person" or whatever their racist nazi ideology says. If these trolls were Democrats, they are probably Florida DINO democrats.

Yeah? Then why didn't she win?

She didn't win because 1) she's not a good campaigner 2) she hired idiots 3) she didn't plan.

The closest thing to running the country is running a good campaign. Obama ran a much better campaign, won more delegates, and won the primary.

You guys are deluded. CLINTON LOST. YOU BACKED A LOSER.

Today, June 20, we are seeing the race coming to an end. Obama has been endorsed by the creature of the Republicans, Maliki. He is having a wonderfully successful trip. Everytime McCain opens his mouth, his false teeth fall out, and he is revealed as a craven bully.

The train is leaving the station. The Obama Express is on the tracks, and November is right around the corner.

You Hillary supporters must put on your Big Girl Panties, and act like Big Girls. You know, at the end of the soccer game, everyone shakes hands and says "good game!! Good game!!!" It's time to get with the program.

When the train leaves the station, it will not be back. If you are on the platform, you either get on for the next 4 years, or you and your issues are in the dust.

Big girls act like adults. Little whining bitches do not.

Which are you?

WOoooooo-0oooo-ooooo - ALL ABOARD THE OBAMA EXPRESS !!!
