First, he told Blitz that he can't endorse McCain.
Then, Blitz asked him which one he prefers, of the 2 Demos. RP said that he picks Obama because he's slightly better which is EXACTLY what I've been saying for quite a while.
The hysteria here, and on other forums, over the possibility of Obama's election is stunning.
I must agree. I never would have dreamed that this election season would brought this kind of divisiveness to 4um. Can't say I've avoided partaking it it either, albeit somewhat indirectly.
The insincerity of the Obama protesters is palpable ... the hyper protest arises from one and only one reality ... and it ain't "elitism".
The people to object to some preference to Obama over the other two also seem to claim that all 3 candidates are the same. That's not too bad but then they get rather hotheaded about it and some start flinging the "commie" and "white guilt" term around.
I mean, if they really are all the same, what difference does it make? One of the 3 will win.

the issue is this. we all thought we were united on the two party fraud and that partaking in it by supporting one of the establishment selections was an endorsement and acknowledgment to them that we want more of the same. we've found out that's not the case. that's what's caused the dissention.

Christine, may I re-remind you that Ron Paul was running for the GOP (one of the two parties) nomination?
Re-reminder now issued, I shall re-state that I have not decided if I am going to vote for Obama in November or for a 'third party' candidate. However, in the Demo race, I believe that Obama deserves everyone's full support because Hillary has to be eliminated from the race.
These being said, I don't think that we should be 'united' on anything. Interesting discussions emerge when people disagree and, sometimes, good insights are revealed. When everyone agrees... it is unlikely that anything new or interesting comes out of that agreement.

Yes. the eevil men behind the curtain gathered .... and one genius suggested that they "select" an obscure black man from from inner city Chicago. All present leaped to their feet in cheers! The deal was done!
If this BS palaver prevails, I'm going into bridge selling immediately after the election.

I think that's a valid position to take. But I don't see anything wrong with preferring one of the three over the other two. The question and answer are innocent enough since we will get one of those three!.
And answering that question certainly does not justify labels of "commie" and "gun-grabber" as have been hurled at me. It's certainly ironic that there's more passion in my adversaries than in me, since my adversaries claim all three are the same.
