Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin

[fulldeck]

Can't you lock this thread for a day? Even the campaigns did.

I think this is a good idea.

The very first press release the Obama campaign put out after the selection of Palin highlighted her inexperienced as she had only been a mayor of a small town and governor for two years. They quickly retracted it by the end of the day. Your statement that he said nothing before the convention is untrue.

Well we asked about 5 pages ago for proof that Obama said anything about it and no one responded. I wasn't aware of it and, as of now, only have your word to go on.

BTW, she is inexperienced.

Are there really people following this thread that don't want to?

I don't really care I guess - but I was just curious why it needed to be locked? Is everyone just super upset and I can't tell because they aren't typing in all caps or something? I thought everyone was grown up and capable of exchanging their views.

She was mocked, so she mocked back. And my comment about the mocking tone and the attacks at the RNC have very much to do with the discussion. I did not like all the attacks they made. I am tired of the attacks by both parties, but I think some people think it is of for their party to attack, but below the belt when the other party attacks. I just wish they woud talk about the issues.

Why are you making this so [expletive] difficult? Obama SAID nothing about her inexperience before the RNC. She was the first to strike when she mocked his experience. If she heard rumblings of her being inexperienced, which justifiably should have been discussed from the day she was named, she should have responded to those that were making that claim. Not by tearing down her opponent's experience. After that, why wouldn't Obama feel compelled to mock her back?

Why are you making this difficult? Her experience was called in to question, what would she have to gain by going back at the bloggers, which she also did, so she called their oponents experience in to question. Why is it ok for the Dems to question her experience, but not ok for the GOP to call his into question. Again, she attakced for political gain, what they are all doing. They are trying to get elected. I wish they all would stop whith how the other guy is wrong for the Country, and talk about why they are right for the Country.

I think the problem is that you're referring to people as "they" and "this side" and "that side" and "Dems". What I'm concerned about is what the candidates and their representatives are saying. I'm not concerned about some mythical person on a blog.

Obama (and his representatives) didn't say anything about Palin's experience. Yet Palin felt it was OK to mock Obama's experience. THAT is the problem.

But she was already mocked first. And I thought the negativity of the RNC was way over the top. Let me repeat that, way over the top.

(thought I'd save Wart the time)

Thanks for saving me the time, after all, you know what I am thinking before I do. I might as well stop posting and let you post for me.

It's got a little more heated recently. Ironically, like typical political debate, the thread seem to continually be derailed by completely ridiculous arguments that couldn't possibly mean that much to anyone. Just back and forth, seemingly, forever.

It's like a train wreck. You really don't want to look but you just can't help yourself.

thread locking = censorship
