Lets not get carried away. The results of the past 4 days would benefit any party that is not currently in power in the White House. It has little if anything to do with Obama/Biden or their plans for the future.
you're right -- John McCain is as much to blame for this crisis as any member of the Republican party in Congress. this is why he is falling in the polls. voters are looking at his record and the record of the Republican party, and they are comparing it to the record and proposals of the Democrats and Obama, and the poll numbers are shifting correspondingly.
On multiple occasions you discussed that Obama and the Democrats were going to crush the Republicans in November 2008.
When Obama won the nomination and bounced to a lead of 6 points in the gallup poll, you claimed that McCain would NEVER get within 6 points of Obama for the rest of the election.
If you really believe that Obama is going to win by a Tsunami like margin, thats ok. I'm just saying I have yet to see it. If Bush was as bad a President as you claim him to be, there should indeed be a Tsunami.
you know what STING? you need to grow up. you need to stop putting words in people's mouths and you need to stop twisting thoughts, speculation, and theories into fist-shaking declarations. i speculated that it was indeed possible that there was going to be a Democratic landslide in the fall. it is indeed *very* likely that the Democrats are going to win many more Republican seats. and it is indeed likely that Obama will win, and that Obama will win by a comfortable margin.
but you know what i just did there? i'll give you a hint -- it was what i did when the election first began and we were tossing around ideas. i said it was LIKELY that certain things would happen. that's called a qualifier.
i never "claimed" anything. i said it was LIKELY that McCain might never get within 5 points. i said other things were LIKELY, based on information at the time.
if you want to spin old posts that contain guesses and speculation and turn them into whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better, you just go ahead and do so. it's only going to add to the consensus that, 1) you're dishonest, and 2) you're every bit the troll that most people who ignore you already think you are.
if you do this again, if you take speculation on my part from months ago and twist it so that you can pretend that it's some kind of passionate argument that's entirely different from what i originally said and then use that as some sort of jumping off point into a line of thought that you wish had been put forward, then i am going to put you on my Ignore List.
Again, if people really felt the same way you do about Bush, the Republicans, the last 8 years, that its this once in a century disaster, there would not be any need to have an election.
have you taken note of the fact that John McCain doesn't mention Bush by name? not even in his acceptance speech? that bush *literally* phoned in a speech to the RNC? that McCain is touting "change" from Bush? that McCain considered running with Kerry in '04? that the only reason he's alive in the polls is because he has thrown Bush under the bus? that Bush struggles to get to 30% on a good day? that the Democrats made historic gains in 2006 and are posed to increase their margins in the House and Senate in 2008?
it's not my opinion that Bush and the Republicans have been a disaster. it is the opinion of over 70% of the American people. and history.
The reality though, is despite all of these outlandish claims, Obama/Biden might be returning to their Senate jobs for several years on November 5th.
yes, they might. but i have yet to say anything "outlandish." what's "outlandish" is how you twist everything so that you can respond to the statements you wish were made because you need them to be made for your statements to have any semblance of coherence.
