so Parkerbink and Lair, weren't you both arguing that McCain, in the bottom of his class at the Academy but with a wealth of experience detailed in way too many other threads, is inferior to Obama because Obama's got a degree but no experience?
Also, I don't think you quite get what the Naval Academy is all about, and how it equips those that come from it. The whole institution is centered around producing leaders who will make ethical decisions under high stress. McCain then had ample time and opportunity to practice this while sitting on his ass (by choice, as to not destroy the spirit of his other POW's) in the Hanoi Hilton. Sorry to beat the drum again, but you both should know better if you indeed have so much "life experience".
And Lair, for someone who talks about how much he respects the military, you don't show that respect to one of the country's most recognizable war heroes.
I'll ask again.. what has Obama ever given up for the country?sigpic89 M3

I also think he has pulled the POW card much too much. I know he was a POW, I am sorry he was a POW and I think he should stop bringing it up.
What did Bush give up for the country?

Please continue my education, I am unworthy but hope you will understand and take pity on me.
Let me know if I can further supplement your years of experience with some education in economics so you don't come off as a clueless old fart.
Unfortunately, many Americans are mislead by the media or politicians because they don't understand economics... I guess it helps democrats though

Or was that a joke too? Are you clueless or just play it online? I've been trying to figure out the same thing with Lair too. Is he really that stupid, or just being a great troll.
It's too bad the media doesn't want to push forward numbers with context. But then again, people wouldn't listen as much if they heard things were going fine. Doom and gloom gets more viewers. OMG 25% VALUE LOST IN THE USD IN 8 YEARS!!!! I need to know more on this subject!

I have a problem with all the things McCain did AFTER the war.
You know, like when he left his crippled wife and three kids for a young, rich, blonde drug addict, and when he got caught in the middle of the Keating Savings & Loan scandal, and when he started pushing war 24/7 and huge tax cuts for the super rich.
I won't even try to document the enormous number of flip-flops he's executed since he started this run for the White House. He's flopped on EVERY SINGLE MAJOR ISSUE, and most of the minor ones. Some of the issues have seen him flop more than once. It's odd that you McCain fans crucified John Kerry for his supposed flip flops, but you think it's an excellent trait now that McSame is doing it every 5 minutes.
His VP choice should seal the deal for any sane, rational human being.
He's not what this country needs in a leader.McCain's military draft: Are you willing to bet your life?

(even though you really did needed it) you thought you knew what was up even if you had no idea about economics but still commenting on the economy because you heard it on the news and proclaimed it without understanding...

I get them from my bank account. Every time I pay $80 to fill up my car, or $4 for a gallon of milk, or $350 for the month's power bill, or watch my 401K shrink another 10%, it's an indictator that things aren't going well.
I can see it right in front of my face, so stop acting like I don't know wtf I'm talking about.McCain's military draft: Are you willing to bet your life?

This is an excerpt from Kerry's speech at the DNC. I checked and verified the flip flops he sites are correct. How do you respond to a man that is now saying his own bills and the things he voted for are wrong?
Do we want a President that calls himself irresponsible?
"I have known and been friends with John McCain for almost 22 years, but every day now I learn something new about Candidate McCain," Kerry said. "To those who still believe in the myth of a 'maverick,' instead of the reality of a politician, I say, let's compare Senator McCain to Candidate McCain. Candidate McCain now supports the very war-time tax cuts that Senator McCain once called 'irresponsible.' Candidate McCain criticizes Senator McCain's own climate change bill. Candidate McCain says he would vote against the immigration bill that Senator McCain wrote. Are you kidding me, folks? Talk about being for it before you were against it. Let me tell you, before he ever debates Barack Obama, John McCain should finish the debate with himself."
To Lair I say well said. I too while not an econ major, have lived and handled my economic situation for longer than RWH has been alive, the arrogance you present is mind boggling Bobby.
I take from the fact that you ignored my questions vis a vis do you 100% support yourself to mean the answer is no. That is ok, but how dare you say a person that has lived in the world on their own hard work does not know what is and what is not the reality of our situation is very amusing to say the least.
Reminds me of the Mark Twain quote:
"When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years."
Come back in a few years.

Min wage was also $1 in 1967... it's now $6.55, nearing $7.25.
You're a special kind of moonbat.

Have my med, dent, life, auto insurance covered. I am currently waiting on the right house to purchase, but my realtor have found me a few I've been interested in. Sorry I didn't instantly become a home owner on graduation day...
