You can't elect a Presidential candidate who is a pathological liar.
You can't elect a Presidential candidate who supports a federal ban on handguns.
You can't elect a Presidential candidate who supports legalizing same sex marriage.
Thanks a lot icebergslim.
Thanks a lot geekesque.
Thanks a lot thereisnospoon.
Thanks a lot to all you Obamatons who have transformed a Presidential race which should have been a slam dunk for us into a close race which the Democrats will probably lose.
For months, the polls have shown a generic Democratic candidate beating a generic Republican candidate by double digits.
The economy is in the ditch. We are waging an unpopular war which McCain supports. McCain is closely tied to Bush, the most unpopular President in history.
Yet the polls show a close race, with McCain leading in some tracking polls. Why is that?
Because Obama is the weakest candidate the Democrats have ever nominated. Weaker than McGovern. Weaker than Dukakis. Weaker than Kerry.
Obama is inexperienced and untested. He has gotten by his entire life on his good looks, winning smile, engaging personality, and oratorical skills.
The Democrats rejected the most qualified Presidential candidate since Adlai Stevenson. Hillary would have crushed McCain. No question.
After Obama had locked up the nomination, I decided I would still vote for him, because I am a lifelong Democrat.
The turning point for me was when he came out in favor of legalizing same sex marriage. Please don't tell more Obamaton lies and claim that is not his position.
He opposes the California initiative which would outlaw same sex marriage. Due to a court decision, the status quo in California is that same sex marriage is legal. Since Obama opposes an initiative which outlaws same sex marriage, he therefore supports keeping same sex marriage legal in California.
QED.
Please do not tell me that I am not a Democrat if I oppose legalizing same sex marriage. That is precisely the position of Howard Dean, John Kerry, and John Edwards.
Even after Obama's shameless pandering to gays and lesbians, who constitute 2% of the adult population, I decided I would not vote for McCain if he chose either Romney or Lieberman as his running mate.
According to the latest news reports, he has chosen Sarah Palin, Alaska Governor and former Miss Alaska.
Sarah Palin
The Democrats are officially fucked. They have nominated a mendacious gungrabber who supports legalizing same sex marriage for President, and a pompous blowhard for Vice President.
The Republicans have nominated a genuine war hero with broad appeal to moderates and independents for President, and a stone fox for Vice President.
Thanks a lot Obamatons.
UPDATE
I would love to have a substantive discussion, but the censorious Stalinist Obamatons are troll rating all my comments into oblivion.
Are there no responsible trusted users who will unhide my comments so I can actually defend my positon?
I didn't think so.
You assholes have no answer to my diary, so you call me a concern troll, a liar, and a bigot.
You hide all my comments.
Do you understand how intellectually weak you are if you have troll rated any of my comments?
OK, I am done.
My comments are not being unhidden. You brain dead Obamatons continue to post insults, ad hominem arguments, and strawman arguments.
I have things I have to do. I will check back tomorrow and see if my comments have been unhidden. If so, I will be glad to engage in a substantive debate.
If not, I will be back on November 5, when I predict there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth on Daily Kos.
I will be back to say "I told you so, but you wouldn't listen."
