Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin

That ending got some people fired up..

Real solid finish, I thought. Good for him. I'm not being sarcastic here.

I think the reason the countless reincarnations of the POW story doesn't sit well is because many Americans are tired of the Iraq war and what's perceived as a hawkish, militaristic approach to foreign policy. To many, it represents more of the same and it also underlines an out of touch approach to real domestic issues Americans are facing daily. There is no doubt that people respect his sacrifice for our country, it's just that pertinent domestic issues have been neglected while fighting what some would consider an unjust war.

Shameless bump, but no one has a comment about this POW leverage rationale?

I responded but it didn't make it to the next page.

Not so much for me. I've long respected McCain for his military service and his sense of honor. I understand others want to hear about it, even celebrate it, and others need it as a narrative frame. But I know this already, and knew it long ago.

This thread is nearing a lockdown

Yup. Some posters can't control themselves.

I've been quite thoughtful. And charming.

In the midst of chaos, Sighyoung rose above the fray.
I also was a safe harbor in the midst of the maelstrom.

Yeah, I thought he said some good things here and there.

Both conventions have ended with bad country songs. Weird.

Should have watched the DNC.

I'll be honest

I'm a Republican, and I've been flipping back and forth between Vandy/SC and the RNC..

Hey, I got money on it..wanna fight about it?

BARRACUDA

[docellis]

I didn't watch a single bit of either convention.

I think McCain of 2000 would have done better. His age is showing more these days.
