what, to you, makes a good judge?
__________________i don't think you dislike Obama. i did think you were playing off of Deep's Obama hysterics, and i felt that the comparison to Kennedy was well off the mark. i do appreciate your clarification, and the NIMBY phenomenon is well documented, whether it's oil wells or windmills. i'm sure McCain wouldn't want to have oil wells obscuring the view from his various properties in Southern California. i don't think Obama's church seeks any of the financed, political influence that Dobson et al were given by Bush. one crazy preacher does not make a church. |

It amazes me that you think so, to be quite honest. There have been some terrible legal decisions made by this SCOTUS. I'm not even talking about just the really obviously bad (See: Alito), but the recent Kennedy-penned beauty on child rapists and capital punishment was, frankly heinous. Deserving of a C on a law school final.

I certainly don't dislike Obama. Did you not see the post in here where I said I was 55% leaning to voting for McCain this week and a couple of weeks back I was 53% leaning to voting for Obama. I expect my opinion will change before November. If the GOP had control of the Senate and House. I would be at 85% + leaning to Obama. At least Diemen was written that he thinks I don't hate Obama, you seem to be putting forth complete nonsense. Please do a search of this thread and re-read my posts objectively. To mention concerns or ask questions about the likely next President is not attacking. If there is a specific post that you believe is in error, please quote it. |

because i'm the only person who thinks you've been over-the-top in nearly all your Obama-related posts? anitram wrote something quite eloquent to you in another post, and given that i need to get home, i'll just quote that. [q]eep what really bugs me is that your over the top, histrionic reactions to just about every single thing about Obama makes me really just want to skip over your posts. Because they read like a hell of a lot of outrage for the sake of being outraged and little substance to boot.[/q] if you'd like, i can pull out several dozen over-the-top posts after i watch Michael Phelps clean up tonight. |

do you want to derail this thread with petty misrepresentations?

I did reply to her Quote:
here is the link http://forum.interference.com/f199/u...186940-23.html I have posted what could be considered "pro" and "con" things about most of the candidates pulling "selective quotes" will verify that. Some Obama supporters seem to be sensitive to anything that questions anything but full on support. |

And to think, after six years of you and I being in this forum, I am being accused of feeding off of you. LOL MY how the world changes when there is a void of dissent in the forum. If a few more of the right leave, you will be the right. HAHA ![]() |

I can't think of a single Obama supporter on this forum that "seem to be sensitive to anything that questions anything but full on support."
well, maybe one. . .maybe. But that's all. I think those supporting Obama on this forum may sometimes be misunderstood. I, for one, while always having liked Obama am nowhere near is rabid in my support as some might think. |

I did not imply "all' or say "most" or 'many'. I only said 'some'. As for you sir, you are the "poster person" for rational, level headed thinking and proper forum decorum. |

And you're just assuming that I don't give much thought to decisions that I agree with. I agreed with the DC gun ban decision's reasoning and gave it a lot of thought. I approach this from a legal reasoning POV not from the actual end result POV. And from there, this SCOTUS has often been terrible. Alito in particular is appalling. |

Alito is my least favorite and it was pathetic watching his confirmation hearing. I am glad we have a new Senate that will not let a nominee like him get by again. |

That got settled a few pages back.
And "some" have been trying to kill (figuratively) the messenger, ever since.. Quote:

it's already been derailed. and there are many culprits. but the answer is no, not particularly. Quote:
no, deep, just insane questions that are unhinged. every last Obama supporter in here has criticized some aspect of his candidacy. i know it makes it easier to paint everyone with the same brush, but that's simply not the case, nor has it ever been. and the more left field your objects are, the more it seems like there is one thing about this candidate that is an issue for you. |

oh come on. this is not about dissent. this is about putting forth good or bad arguments. this is about leveling good or bad criticisms. it pains me to see formerly thoughtful posters resorting to whining because they haven't taken the time to think through their posts and feeling put upon because people are going to call them out on their poorly constructed arguments. dissent is always tolerated, bad thinking is not. or is it now that we have to treat everyone in what the right would once have called "PC" -- that we have to give equal time and respect and light stroking and encouragement to all points of view, regardless of their basis in fact or adherence to rules of logic. it doesn't matter what you say, it just matters if you say it! |

[q]Obama really does not offer anything[/q]
this would be a good example of a poor argument. you've offered nothing but an article that highlights differences in the two candidates, yet you dismiss the content of the article for an judgment that has nothing to back it up. how does doubling auto efficiency standards and requiring power companies to vastly increase alternative sources of energy amount to "not offer[ing] anything" especially in comparison to the science fair-like offer of $300m for an electric car? how else am i to take your dismissal? |

Obama supports a large tariff on sugarcane-based ethanol, a tariff which may be illegal under WTO rules, depending on where you look. He also supports big subsidies for the much less efficient corn-based producers...the multinational corporations from his neck of the woods. At the same time, our prices for staple foods and corn-fed beef continue to spike. McCain is in favor of dropping the tariff on sugarcane-based ethanol, and dropping the subsidies that go to wasteful corn-based ethanol.
