Obama sidesteps another question...Abortion

[jillian]

so why didnt he say that? as i already said, im pro choice. i want people to decide for themselves. the problem i have is with the stupid joke.

I have no issues with it. Couldn't care less. I'm far more offended by McCain's heavenward looking BS while he talks about "respect[ing] the rights of the unborn"......

The widening gap between rich and poor is a very serious topic, wouldn't you say? The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Is that something to joke about?

This from when they asked McCain what he considers rich:

McCain took a far more discursive approach to answering the question but ultimately settled on a dramatically higher figure: "I think if you're just talking about income, how about $5 million?"

The Arizona Republican quickly added that he was "sure that comment will be distorted," and his campaign said Sunday that he was joking.

Yet the $5-million level, Smith said, includes "almost nobody." Experts said that of all the households in the nation, fewer than one-tenth of 1% had an annual income of $5 million or more.

deflecting.

Get a grip, people. He probably meant he wasn't God or a scientist.

that's pretty much my take on the subject.

i guess saying obama should be clear on his positions is the same as supporting mccain

He was clear... he just didn't use the words you wanted him to.

And yes, we have a choice to make between the two.... but you're focusing on bogus garbage about Obama....

like I said... couldn't care less.... it's a non-issue. And, he was right... he said, for anyone who was listening, that he doesn't have the wisdom to answer the question....

so... like I said.......

You mean he ain't the messiah ??

no, he said deciding that wasnt in his paygrade. he should have said he didnt have the wisdom. but yeah, all im focusing on is the negative. thats right. for the past couple of months all ive done is post bad things about obama its not like ive gone after those who post lies about him or anything like that.

im amazed with how many people cant handle even a little criticism of obama.

You need to stop listening to the corporate media. I'm scared too, because I see how hard the main stream media is working for McCain too.

Obama didn't lose the debate. Where is all the talk about how much better McCain did?

In fact, the talk today is about how prepared McCain was for every question at the debate. Almost as if he was listening to Obama's answers while he was sitting in his limo.

They weren't told what the exact questions would be. Only McCain had that much prior knowledge.

And they went off topic and ambushed Obama with right wing talking points.

I didn't even see it, but I'm not noticing much bragging on the GOP's part, so Obama clearly survived it.

How you can be disappointed with Obama is beyond me.

Do you not like blacks or possible muslims? Be honest.

Otherwise, I would chalk it up to nerves. When I rushed a fraternaty, on hell night, my other pledge brothers were SURE we were all getting blackballed the night of initiation. Can you imagine? They tortured us for 2 months and then they're gonna kick us out? Rediculous. But they were soooo nervous. It think you are just nervous and buying into every GAFFE the GOP says Obama made. He made NO Gaffes. They are spinning and lying about everything that comes out of his mouth. Ignore EVERYTHING you hear from the right wingers on these boards. Go check their facts. Always wonder, "what are they leaving out of this story". And you almost always find that they are full of shit.

I would have to hear Obama's laugh, but I'm sick of people deciding over his laugh or Kerry seems like an elitist or Dean went YEAAAA!!! in a speech. How easy is it to tear someone down? Gore was feminine, so fucking what? He would have been 10 times the leader GW was. If you don't agree with that, then you are voting for McCain no matter what i say.

I love the conspiracy theories which come out when lefties are faced with the reality that their guy is going to lose, and he's going to lose because his views are anti-American.

deflecting.

Funny you mind Obama's laugh but not McCain's joke. Just thought I'd point that out.

You want an honest politician? Well I listen to both candidates and Obama is the closest thing to the truth that I've seen.

Assume all the GOP candidates except Ron Paul were lying.

Hillary was a liar. Remember she was under fire?

Edwards was having an affair.

What was Obama lying about? He has to be very careful in how he says that he thinks it should be a woman's right to choose. But all those hypocrites hear is, "pro abortion".

So you want a honest Democratic candidate to lose to a lying GOP candidate.

I am almost sure you are not a liberal/democrat. If you are, either you are one of the dummies that the liars in politics pray on. Do you think Obama is a muslim or angry black?

It shouldn't be that hard to get you to fall in line. You are no liberal. You are a mole. Fake.

I think McCain assigning rights to the unborn is much more disturbing than Obama joking that he can't define when life begins. That is what I took away from their answers.

What would it mean to our society if a fetus had the same rights as a living citizen? Could women be charged with manslaughter for going horseback riding? Reckless endangerment for being in the vicinity of a smoker?

McCain is scary.

 

[Ravi]

What was Obama lying about?

That he didn't know his pastor's views, for one.

You right wingers have what is and isn't patriotic/American all backwards.

It is unamerican to make Christianity the official religion.

it is UnAmerican to torture, spy on Americans, take habius corpus away.

You know what? The debates are coming stupid. Just watch and see what happens.

 

[AllieBaba]

You're scary, Ravi. I find it much more frightening when we afford rights to people only based upon their ability to defend themselves.

Do you think people on life support should be afforded rights? How about retarded people such as yourself? People with wall eyes and speech impediments?

did i say i didnt mind mccains joke? you love putting words in other peoples mouths. ive never said i was a liberal. im an independant. are you unable to read? let me say it again. IM NOT A LIBERAL. do i need to make it clearer for you?

 

[Ravi]

Do you think people on life support should be afforded rights? How about retarded people such as yourself? People with wall eyes and speech impediments?

How about dead people? Should we give them rights, too? How about cellular clumps in petri dishes? Sperm?

What the heck are wall eyes?

 

[AllieBaba]

You know, I didn't think it possible, but you just get more and more stupid. What nationality are you?

Nobody wants to make Christianity an official religion. That's just a scare tactic, and a transparent one.

It is not unAmerican to interrogate those who are suspected of targeting American civilians and/or American military.

If the debates are stupid, I would say it's probably because at least one of the men debating is stupid....and I'm going to make a guess that you know your darling, that socialist Obama, will not shine nor succeed, and you are trying to deflect by saying the "debates are coming stupid".

Once again....what country do you hail from, and what exactly is your motivation in trying to force a socialist president upon the American people?

fish--and fish got rights too

I don't know all of my Priests views, nor do I agree with all of them. Nor do I care about Obama's pastor in his church. You guys have nothing on Obama so you are going after people he knows? Pretty fucking weak. Are you responsible for everyone you know? If your cousin is a racist, does that make you a racist? Do you know any rapists? Are you a rapist? You may have known them for 20 years.

You are proving to be one of the dumb voters that the GOP prays on.

McCain didn't know Hagee said Catholicism was a false relgion?

I'm sure you can find a pastor like Wright in every black church. To pick on Obama for that makes you ignorant to what blacks have gone through and probably will expose you for being a tad bit racist.

Either that or the corporate media is working on you again this year. Instead of being afraid of another terrorist attack, they are scaring you into not voting for Obama, the angry black guy.

You are pathetic.
