July 8, 200818 yr Author McCain - Temper Obama - Scary I was kinda surprised that temper wasn't among some of the top responses for McCain. Certainly, the right-wing scare machine has made some inroads in painting Obama as someone to be feared. I believe viewing Obama as a boogeyman is without basis.
July 8, 200818 yr I was kinda surprised that temper wasn't among some of the top responses for McCain. Certainly, the right-wing scare machine has made some inroads in painting Obama as someone to be feared. I believe viewing Obama as a boogeyman is without basis. But I'm not listening to any right-wing scare machine - I'm listening to RK's gut and my gut tells me that something just isn't right with this man and therefore, he scares me.

Have you been able to discern, to any degree, what it might be that concerns you about BHO? Mom is kind of the same way, but she can't really give me an answer. Surely you don't think he means to do harm to the country. I know mom doesn't trust him for some reason. I still think some of it has to do with the loss of her beloved Hillary. I still hope to convince her to vote Democratic in the fall. I think I'll win her over. In the meantime, if you can determine what it is that just isn't right about Barack, please let me know before Nov. I'll trust your gut before I would GWB's because his gut feelings have ruined us.
July 8, 200818 yr Author What scares the mathman is not Barack Hussein Obama but the voting public. Here were two of the top ten responses for Obama in the poll: 6. His race (6%) 10. Muslim (3%)

I made this statement when the nation elected "W" - "we will be at war within 6 months of him entering the white house." I don't know why I knew that but my gut just told me this. Why do I feel like I do about Obama? First off - it has nothing to do with Hillary. Yes, I wanted Hillary to win the nomination but she's a big girl and she understands that it wasn't her time. Obama is smart, he's worked hard to get to where he's at now, if it wasn't for his ears he'd be a good looking kid:D but there is something about him that just gives me the willies. Do I know what it is, yes, but am I willling to say it right now, no. Perhaps I will be more comfortable in what I feel later but right now I'm not. I opened up a copy of MrRk's Time magazine a few month ago and there was this picture of Obama and his wife right after they knew they had the nomination wrapped up. The look in their eyes and the look on their faces just gave me the chills and not in a good way.
July 8, 200818 yr First words I thought of- "Fresh" for Obama, and, due to math's constant jokes, unfortunately for McCain I thought "Old"
July 8, 200818 yr Author First words I thought of- "Fresh" for Obama, and, due to math's constant jokes, unfortunately for McCain I thought "Old" :lol: You and about 1 in 5 of those polled. It is, however, all jokes aside, a problem for him.
July 8, 200818 yr [/b] :lol: You and about 1 in 5 of those polled. It is, however, all jokes aside, a problem for him. It shouldn't be. I'd much rather have someone experienced than a complete rookie and Obama is a rookie in every sense of the word.
July 8, 200818 yr Obama = Arsenic McCain = Strycnine Choose your poison. (I was tempted to put McCain = Old Lace)
July 8, 200818 yr Author McCain = Leader Obama = Corrupt Chicago Political Machine Would that have been your label when you were lambasting him a year or two ago?
July 8, 200818 yr Author Obama = Arsenic McCain = Strycnine Choose your poison. (I was tempted to put McCain = Old Lace) As soon as I saw Arsenic, I was going to post that. Great, great line!
July 8, 200818 yr Author It shouldn't be. I'd much rather have someone experienced than a complete rookie and Obama is a rookie in every sense of the word. From a voter's perspective, his age certainly can be a negative. That's why his Veep choice is more important than most have been. Experience can certainly be seen as a positive, but also as a negative(Washingington insider, etc...).
July 8, 200818 yr Would that have been your label when you were lambasting him a year or two ago?I'm talking about his military leadership. You think you can refute that?
