One can say that one's opinion is valid until the cows come home. one has thr right to one's opinion. If one's opinion of Obama is backed only by one's own vague, unsupported feelings of what a fine man he is, while his own actions belie that opinion, then one's opinion is not going to carry much weight with others.


Is just as true. So?<<

Bruce,

You are smarter than that. You know I have expressed no opinion similar to your support of McCain's apparent flip flopping based on your vague feeling that he would have a good reason even though he has given no such feeling.

There are a lot of reasons that I think Obama will be a better President than McCain. None of them have much to do with how fine a man he is.

I happen to agree with specific policies and proposals, most notably his pledge to actually go after Al Qaeda where they live.

I would be happy to have the discussion be on those terms, but since McCain is running for Bush term three, I don't expect such a debate from A Republican.
