Did you not go to that site?

Have you scoped around in other forums about any of this?

Of COURSE it could have.

i've said that we'll never know, because the elections are too close.

But the bottom line remains the same:

If other countries think Obama is going to win, why aren't they HELPING? Why are they worried?

As his popularity goes up

our economy goes down.

Now, if that doesn't make sense, or appear logical, i just don't know...

Sarah Palin on the Issues

And the other nominees are on the lefthand column. Enjoy WendyCal, the non-biased spot I use for political positions.

Yeah, you've made that pretty clear.

Causation does not mean correlation. My cat puked today and I procrastinated my homework. Does that mean every time my cat pukes I will procrastinate my homework? Obama, right now, has NOTHING to do with our failing economy besides the fact that he is one of the 100 senators. And if you say he himself has ruined the economy as a senator my brain will explode. Then I guess McCain has too.

When have i said that i think Palin is all that??? i've said i'll vote for the lesser of two evils, if i remember correctly.

So, let me get this straight ~ if a website will publish all of the issues, and where the politicos stand on them, you will make a decision based on those, for want of a better word, promises???

Man. That place can't even be bothered to proofread. (What a shock.)

But more to the point ~ when have you ever known of a politician to be able to actually DELIVER on what they've 'promised?'

Wow, too bad you didn't see fit to include the whole thing, the actual concept, but hey! Concepts and abstract thinking are for fools, right?

Well, yeah, partially. Their stance on issues are pretty damn important. If they weren't we could put any economics major into office and everyone would be happy.

Roosevelt and Clinton came to mind without much thought. Nixon delivered on most of his too.

The above post speaks to you, also.

McCain, himself, hasn't ruined it, (that's what y'all don't seem to get), but didn't you see or read my post about this? About how a senator/congressman can't do much when thte houses are weighted to one side, and the senator/congressman is on the other.

How did McCain vote? What was important to him? Was he there, or absent, or just giving a 'present' vote?

You have no idea, do you?

THAT's what i'm trying to get at. You have no idea of where McCain stands, BASED ON HIS ACTIONS.

You also have no idea of where Obama stands, based on his actions, since his 'actions' have been pretty well non-existent.

And while you go try to find something that he did, that wasn't funded/colaborated on/or devised by any suspect folks, i'll go to the bathroom, again.

You do realize this is all public record, right?

I am not saying where Obama or McCain stand in that point. I am saying that you can't blame Obama for the failing economy because his popularity is rising.
