Sure...SEC is just another paranoid person trying to spread fear because of the man's name which is similar sounding to Bin Ladin.

In other words...someone's trying to be a dyck.

if McCain's middle name was Wilkes instead of Sidney..I wonder how much paranoia one could get away with spreading around

LOL. Yeah, but you keep at it, SEC, that's the important thing. Determination. It'll pay off in other ways.

Then what does your fear have to do with trying to imply to others that he IS a terrorist by calling him Osama Obama? Your explanation would make sense if you would stop trying to grasp at name-associations. It's about as clever as a 3rd grader on a playground, if you ask me. Also, it is an act of desperation because if you had good substantive arguments, you'd just stick to that instead of resorting to the antics that prepubescent boys tend to monopolize on.

There should be a ban. If you can't prove the following:

1. Obama is a Muslim
2. Obama is directly tied to Farrakhan
3. Is darker than he normally appears
4. Regularly steals other people's speeches


Those and others..if you have no evidence you shouldn't bring it up.

You obviously have me confused for someone who thinks that if McCain becomes president, then this country will change for the better.

OTOH, perhaps you're right: I'm deluded into thinking that this county isn't totally incorrigible and that our fellow citizens aren't really oblivious to the fact that our nation is in serious jeopardy until it's too late, and we're all @$$ed out because we voted for a leader that knowingly and willing placed us there and cares nothing about us or what this country stands for, as long as he's fed, clothed, and has plenty of $$ in this country.

Yeah, I'm deluded into optimistic thinking--and wouldn't trade it for all the tea in China.

LOL @ #3. Have people actually been debating this? Is it like a Michael Jackson skin-lightening accusation or something?

Whoa whoa there, Mr. Histrionics. I'm not one of those you reference above either. I wouldn't fear a McCain presidency as much as a Huckabee or RON PAUL presidency, but DC needs too much of a shake-up to keep the GOP in the White House.

My "deluded" comment was in regards to your still clinging to any shred of hope that the GOP nomination isn't locked up. Because it is. Paul is staying in for whatever continued attention he can get and his 'presidential' campaign (and funds) are surely also helping his congressional seat run ("indirectly" of course). Mr. Fiscal Conservative. Spending people's money where it has the most impact. For him. Huh. Interesting.

it was front page in one of the local papers today.
And it was more like "making" him look darker in photos.

They talked about it for 15 mins on CNN last night...to me it was a laugh riot.

I mean dayum...it's like playing on the fears of those that are racists or closet racists to darken Obama up....

fear and hate....

and then SEC with that Osama Obama bullshyte

and here I was thinking my TV needed to be adjusted.

I doubt that the delegates would be that naive enough to believe that McCain would have any real chance against Hillary or Obama

That may be true, but I can't see the delegates so willfully disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of people nationwide who voted in the primaries. McCain won the majority of the votes, that's it. Ron Paul only got around 7% or so in each state - so it is kind of delusional to think/hope that the delegates would give him the nomination

The delegates are sent to the convention as representatives of the voters, supposedly they have some moral compass that would keep them from just getting together and saying, "to he** with what the voters want, we'll just pick whoever we want."

It isn't locked up until the delegates have their say in September, and not a moment before. FWIW, I hope there is an upset at the convention and even if Paul loses, I hope he gives McCain a run for his money. With this happening I will get the pleasure of seeing the MSM eat crow and humble pie for dessert. Or they'll just be backpedalling like a mu'lova.

Paul is staying in because his supporters want him to stay in and the campaign funds are still coming in (albeit at a much slower pace). When the convention is decided or the funds and support dries up, then and only then will he concede--and not a moment before.

There's no having intelligent discourse with a zealot. Paul is a blip on the screen. He will never hold national office. KIM.
