Just HOW is Obama more qualified? Because you people think he's "smarter"? Hell, if that was all it took, Albert Einstein was smarter than Obama could ever hope to be and I'll bet even HE would argue he made a better scientist than president. In the real world people work their way up to positions of greater responsibility. Your average 16 year old has to work the drive-thru window and flip a few burgers before he becomes shift supervisor. One doesn't generally jump from sales associate to CEO. Your average new PhD in Literature of the Middle Ages doesn't step right into a tenured position and department head. I have a relatively successful chicken business but that doesn't qualify me to be President of Tyson Foods. Honestly, can even ONE Obama supporter tell me just how he's qualified to be president? There's very little experience to point to to gauge his ability as a leader. What are his accomplishments? I don't want platitudes...I want examples, specifics. I don't want to hear anything about "change", either. Putting up new wallpaper in my kitchen is "change". Rearranging my living room furniture is "change". Both are also "change I can believe in" otherwise I wouldn't have done them.
Whether I agree with him or not, John McCain has a verifiable record of accomplishments. His record not only illustrates an allegiance to and love of his country but a consistency of thought. When he does change his mind, he acknowledges said change and explains his reasons for doing so. He doesn't run to a microphone and say, "I've always said..." when he hasn't always "said" XYZ. Most of us call that a lie. Oh, and while it may be a negative to most of you idiots at the DUmp, the majority of Americans, myself included DO expect a president of this country to be patriotic. How can you serve your country if you hate what it stands for and view it's citizens with contempt? It would be like Ingrid Newkirk being hostess at Outback Steakhouse...I don't think she could enthusiastically list the days specials.
Oh, and exactly WHAT board were you on? Because I've NEVER been on any conservative message board that said science is "flipflopping". Hell, I'd like to see MORE flipflopping by global warming "scientists". New information comes out all the time and yet they staunchly (and blindly) hang on to their convictions as if they feared angering some vengeful god. Then there's the ever growing number of scientists, climatologists, etc. who debunk global warming and/or it's causes and dangers. Science involves inquiry not consensus. So far, not one of the global warming gurus is willing to have a serious discussion with those scientists who don't believe the world will end in 10 years.
The news sources you mention...when they do a negative story on your boy, you rail on and on about what liars they are. At least we're consistent in our skepticism. You loved the polls when they showed Obama 15 points ahead but now that more and more people are beginning to see what an empty suit he is, that he's more hype than hope and his numbers are going down, suddenly the pollsters all right wing shills. Anyone who can say that about Zogby with a straight face is truly insane. Intellectual honesty doesn't seem to be your strong suit and yet we're supposed to be the paranoid, stupid bumpkins clinging to our guns and God (like that's a bad thing). An interest in self-preservation and protection and a reverence for the divine have nothing to do with IQ. Frankly, I think it's rather stupid to NOT want to protect one's home and family.
Oh, and I rarely listen to Sean Hannity. I'm perfectly capable of forming my own opinion. I don't even need to belong to a hive so I can get daily reassurance that my beliefs aren't supposed to change, that there's no new talking points, and I'm including the latest PC, unoffensive phrase in my conversations.
