inspired by some RIDICulous anti-obama attacks, here's my list of the 5 best (worst?) reasons not to vote for obama:
5) he couldn't get himself elected dog-catcher. if you look closely at his resume, you won't find a single dog-catcher position listed there. that's because he's never won a dog-catcher election. he's never won a dog-catcher primary!
4) he doesn't have enough experience. we should always vote for the person who has the most experience. until we're running against mccain, that is. THEN, too much experience is a bad thing.
3) in an earlier election, he got all his opponents disqualified. wow, that's terrib -- wait! can we clone this guy??
2) he's only good at great speeches and big rallies. wow, that's terrib -- wait! can we clone this guy??
1) he hasn't actually accomplished anything. you know, i don't really expect junior democratic senators under republican presidents to accomplish much. then again, getting fawning coverage from the republican-controlled media is an amazing achievement for any democrat these days.
the bottom line is that, in the scheme of things, there's barely a difference between the two policy-wise, and a HUGE difference between either of them and mccain. so my strongest position has always been to support the eventual democratic nominee over the republican nominee, period. when i voted for obama in the ct primary, i could have tossed a coin in the voting booth.
that said, i don't know who's been more persuasive since then in making my support for obama ever stronger -- the pro-obama people or the anti-obama people.
