Political: Opposite day

#1 Post by cindy.wellman » Fri Sep 05, 2008 11:04 am

I've read all of the political posts, and for the most part it is fairly easy to see which candidate a poster supports. I am curious in that I would find it interesting to see if you could state something you like about the candidate who you don't normally support.

Let's see...

Obama is an American. And he is good at giving speeches. That's about it, I guess...

McCain is good at riling-up the Republican establishment.

I like that McCain looks like Wallace without Gromit.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

McCain truly wants to limit, if not eliminate, earmarks from spending bills.
Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!

That'll be $10, please.

I don't think Obama's going to sell our country totally down the river if elected.
Well, then

Gov. Palin is a very strong woman.
There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

Obama has acknowledged that the Surge worked.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I like Sarah Palin because she wears a skirt. Something Hillary never did in her campaign.

O.K. Seriously.

Barack Obama is one of the best examples of how a person can achieve their highest goals if they fully use all of the opportunities given to them.

I think Obama really loves his wife and adores his daughters. I don't think he hates Amercia, either.

I could imagine myself voting for the 2000 version of McCain against the right (or from my perspective, wrong) candidate. He did good with McCain-Feingold and he was right to oppose Bush's economic plan. I wish that version were running this year. --Bob

I enjoy listening to the way Obama delivers speeches written for him.

Sorry, Coach Bix convinced me to avoid the liquid candy.
