I voted for Bush, Sr once. Clinton twice, and Bush, Jr. twice. I voted against Reagan the first time, because he scared hell out of me.

Just wondering since you said you almost certainly vote for the a veteran. Bush wasn't, but Kerry was.

Where do you get that last part? The "old folks think president is a young man's job"?

You must talk to different old folks than I do.

I agree somewhat about the lack of experience part, though.

Funny how people attack Obama for going to a black liberation church for 20 years but still think he's a Muslim. I predict it won't stick just like the Republicans couldn't get the anti-Catholic message to stick to Kennedy.

The problem is that it already IS sticking. The Dems have to get that stick off.

The problem is that, for many of the closet prejudiced, Obama is just the wrong color. They continually search for reasons to make it appear that it is about something else, but that is what it boils down to IMHO.

edit...just reread that while looking at the context of Imran's last post. Just to be clear...they are unrelated to each other and I certainly didn't mean to imply anything about any poster here...simply the public in general.

The Reverend Tarbaby is an interesting case. It's the left that can't stop talking about him. Admittedly, it might have been kicked off by the right, but the left is now carrying the ball.

I'm sure there are people who do believe the whisper campaign but I'm wondering how many of them are actually people who weren't automatically going to vote for the Republican nominee in any event. That would be an interesting poll though I honestly don't know were to even begin looking for such data.

That's just not my experience. Talk radio and Fox are the only ones still beating that dead horse and if we want to do guilt by association or seven degrees of removal then McCain has his own wacky preacher problems.

Is he McCain's spiritual mentor or friend of 20 years?

It's all part of an on going, abet disorganized, smear campaign occurring over the internet and on right leaning media.

Some of the recent smear attempts include:

Claiming Obama is secretly Hindu - http://shatteredparadigm.blogspot.co...ack-obama.html

Claiming there is a secret video of Obama's wife calling white people names - http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/La...a_whitey_video

Claiming there is a secret video of Obama's wife and Louis Farrakhan sitting together calling white people racial names - http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/06...ake-on-whitey/

Claims that Obama secretly supports Muslim terrorist organizations - http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archi...k_hussein.html

Claims that Obama is secretly a sex offender who likes to rape white girls - http://wonkette.com/politics/barack-...der-228812.php


Of course it's all lies and BS but that doesn't stop the smear machine. I think most people know it's all BS and it is mainly the die hard Republican partisans (the Bush 30% if you will) who are writing and consuming this nonsense.

With the sole exception of Debbie Schlussel's site, those are all left wing sites. The Hillary Clinton for president on Larry Johnson's site should be a dead giveaway.

Did you see the parody site before it got changed?

[DinoDoc]

Was it funny?

I thought so, also they rickrolled everyone who clicked on any link.
