Yes, you are a very polite Deconstructionist Communist Progressive Liberal Left Wing Marxist asswipe.

But you are a polite one, ari.

I repeat:

Everybody on this forum can see what you are.

And it's certainly not a gentleman.

Nor a credit to any cause you may support. Like Ron Paul's.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

All eyes are on Obama now. It is "lead or die" for his campaign at this moment.

Could be he's trying to hold his party together.

If he gets a chance to go one on one with McInsane the picture may become clearer.

He has hinted at bipartisanship, even to the point of implying non-Dims in his administration.

I will be anxious to see if he expands on this at cutting time,

The Democrat party is pretty much in a civil war right now. That much we know for a fact.

If Obama is truly trying to be the "coalition" candidate, he will announce how he will deliver this.

Many people are so cynical with regards to Government right now that they don't believe it until they see it.

Obama bought himself a pass with his speech today, but the price is stepping up to the plate and being a leader. Delivering on his words begins with articulating a vision and then a plan.

Without that, he falls on his face as being an empty suit.

Thinking about some of his comments, his "My mother looked over her shoulders for ni**ers" echoes CHRIS ROCK. Is Obama going to blast Chris Rock now? I don't think so.

As time goes on and people have time to think about this speech, more "WTF?" items like that will come out.

It was his grandmother ... and he wasn't "blasting" her but was in the midst of professing his undiminished love for her.

That's the most patriotic bag of horse puckey I've ever seen handled by a Black Panther Marxist quisling Council on Foreign Relations puppet...

Yeah, it was a good speech and it seems that some people are bound and determined to overlook the fact that he is an establishment puppet just like those they rail against. ONE decent man running but he didn't get much play in the establishment media. But notice how there is no shortage of it for this guy. Obama, Clinton, McCain, all just alike other than the obvious difference of gender and color.

This lovefest by 4um members for Obama is downright laffable.

White guilt? Hardshell democrats? Naive and or without a clue?

We got sandbagged with Clinton and Bush from the same organization and now they offer up Obama and the sheep slobber all over themselves to be first in line for the slaughter.

There is, of course, a very simple way to prove your claims -- or at least to make them a lot more believable. If Ron Paul did confide his plans to you, surely you posted something about that here, or elsewhere on the Web. Or at least you must have made some mention of this breakfast meeting you claim to have had with him. You have only to point us to those earlier postings.

If, however, this thread is the first time you have mentioned Ron Paul's assurance or your breakfast meeting with him, and that only in response to my challenge, you will have to accept the fact that no one will believe you.
