A freeper on my veterans' board said that Obama cannot beat McCain because...
"when Obama supporters were asked to name one thing that Obama has accomplished, they couldn't come up with anything."

I replied, "Jesus H. Christ -- George Bush got elected. What the fuck had he ever done before he got elected? Play solitaire on his computer in the Governor's office?"

These people will grasp at anything...no matter how fucking stupid it is.

1. didn't you hear driver
today's talking point is the "heartbreaking sadness" ALL the Clinton supporters are feeling now and WILL be feeling all over again in November because (THEY say) Obama is unelectable. They are SO sensitive...

2. When people get pissed enough
they will vote for change. McCain is just Bush 44.

4. I would suspect
that the average McCain supporter wouldn't be able to name one thing McCain did either if they were asked outright to do so.

13. Maybe those vets supported McCain over Bush in 2000
and they still do

McCain has strong military support, he sacrificed as much as one can short of dying, he is a hero.

Played against the mentor of Obama, (and it will in the GE) it is a not much of a choice at all, more like a given they will vote McCain, regardless of party affiliation.

He has 2 sons serving now in Iraq.

I know several dem vets that are voting for McCain.
