Talk is the reason Obama is where he is. He talks well. That's it. That's what he has to hang his hat on. That's why people like him.

He'd make a great preacher or motivational speaker. At least he has a future.
And McCain's reason for where he is is...?

He's a POW. Maybe you haven't heard.
Well let's put it this way folks, and I know this is (thankfully) not how it works..

If you had McCain, the POW, and Obama, the community organizer, and that's all you knew about them...which would you vote for?

Point being, I'd rather McCain have POW on his resume then what Obama has on his
This question couldn't be more pointless.

Really? I don't think anyone in the last 2 weeks has spoken from the heart. They are all reading speeches off of teleprompters that someone else wrote.

So, by this logic -- if all I knew about a theoretical Democratic candidate named Don Jones was that he was a community organizer and a Republican that was a POW but also involved in a prison torture scandal, that Republican candidate is more fit to be president?

If it came out that McCain committed atrocities in Vietnam, wouldn't that make him completely unqualified to be president, much less call himself a human being?

No, the point is clearly that while democrats may be hating on the POW crap, it's a huge part of his life..

So you've bought into the Republican notion that Obama's 16 years of service are meaningless?

Motivation is a good thing, especially when you believe in what you're preaching.
I haven't bought into anyone's notion. I guess being a state senator is nice and all. And most of his work as a U.S. Senator is running for president. When you speak well, sometimes you get places. Obviously.

16 years of "service". I guess you've bought into the liberal media.

I'm glad he believes in what he's preaching. I'd rather someone believe in what they say, even when they're wrong, than to lie. I'm just not buying what he's preaching.

Not a word.

But you buy what McCain is preaching? That he respects Obama, but it's OK if his colleagues mock him for two days straight?

Well, I'd hope he and you know...every single politician ever talk well.

What is this supposed to even mean?
Think about it, maybe you'll understand.
I think it's pretty clear. You can talk well without saying a word. Go back to last Thursday if you need a reference. It's certainly how he says it...not what he says.
