Okay, so it's okay for McCain to have ambition, but not Obama?

[New Majority]

The words of John McCain before a VFW group recently:

“Behind all of these claims and positions by Senator Obama lies the ambition to be president."

McCain's words in his book "Worth the Fighting For":

"I didn't decide to run for president to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be president because it had become my ambition to be president. . . . In truth, I'd had the ambition for a long time."

Okay...so this teaches us what????

[Kace]

I'm voting for Barr. :rockon:

[Produce man]

That they're both ambitious to president, I would think.

Duh...:rolleyes:

[New Majority]

Duh...:rolleyes:

Like always Produce:frustrated: Man...you miss the point...

[Produce man]

Like always Produce:frustrated: Man...you miss the point...No, I know what you were implying, you just don't have a valid point.

Pretty lame spin, actually.

[New Majority]

No, I know what you were implying, you just don't have a valid point.

Pretty lame spin, actually.

And what am I implying...oh:rolleyes: great and honorable Nostradamus?

[s'news]

Ron Paul!

Damn right! :rockon:

Now if only others would. :(

This is assuming Republicans give a crap what the Republican think.

Guys like Produce Man don't pay attention to Republicans. His identity revolves around being an anti-Democrat, not a conservative.

Therefore, he doesn't understand the idea that McCain could be guilty of anything other than running against the guy he's voting against.

Sure, McCain attacked Obama for, "ambition", then defined himself the same way. But it doesn't really matter to guys who vote Republican.

Notice how Republicans stopped being conservative years ago, and guys like Produce didn't blink? That's because he never really cared.


Laz? Same way. He claims he doesn't really know who he's voting for, but the trail of bad voting habits, combined with the fact that Laz never really defended his vote for Bush, tells me he will vote for McCain, then never mention it again once he leaves the booth.

[Mr. Rugen]

Your momma's okay to have ambition.

Yes. I burned that guy.

Sure, McCain attacked Obama for, "celebrity", then defined himself the same way. But it doesn't really matter to guys who vote Democrat.

Notice how democrats stopped being conservative years ago, and guys like Buckpasser didn't blink? That's because he never really cared.

Post fixed.

Irony's a b!tch, huh?

[buckpasser]

You couldn't even get your lame attempt at defense correct.

Notice how you failed to change the second line, leaving, "Republicans", in the sentence.

"Guys like Buckpasser don't pay attention to Republicans"???


You can't even get a lame comeback right. Is it any wonder why you are treated like Medialne's pinata?

[Produce man]

I'd rather be getting beat up than pointed at and laughed at...and you're both, bucky.:(

Edit: I also noticed you completely dodged my point. Nice touch. You serve your masters well.

I love this new name Po'Boy has earned: "Medialine's pinata"
I'm surprised Dyckerson didn't come up with it first!

Jeezus -- who's Po'Boy tryin' to fool?? Dyckerson alone beats Po'Boy black-n-blue with his witty words, and laughs at him mercilessly while making the rest of us laugh too...24/7/365.

I don't vote in a booth. But that's okay. You're clearly ignorant about a great many things. You might as well be consistent.

Diplomat is a guy who suffers from low self-esteem.


I feel sorry for him.

That's why he can't answer questions about what he thinks. Instead, he's filled 16 thousand posts with whines, cries, and pouts about everyone he hates.

I go back to the post where Diplomat defined the source of his political identity:




Diplomat defines himself as good by defining other people down. CLASSIC case of low self-esteem.

That's why Diplomat always finds a Medialiner to, "go after" in his posts. He's defining others down so he can bump up his own self-worth.

It's not just Medialiners who Diplomat will define down so he can define himself up. As seen in his own post, he'll dog his own family members.

That's why Diplomat has his, "list".


Laz? Same way. He claims he doesn't really know who he's voting for, but the trail of bad voting habits, combined with the fact that Laz never really defended his vote for Bush, tells me he will vote for McCain, then never mention it again once he leaves the booth.

So I guess you're now defining me down. I'm sorry about your low self esteem.

[buckpasser]

It's the whole fake, "oh I don't know who I'll vote for" thing you pretend to deal with, Laz.

Your latest ruse comes after seven and a half years where you never came out and defended Bush.

Come to think of it, you never really defend yourself. Your posts, like Dip, Clever, and Produce's, always revolve around someone else.

And that inability to defend your actions, combined with the fact that you don't find yourself worthy enough to believe someone could value your opinion, is a clear indication of someone hiding the truth from others, and himself.

[Kace]

Lazlo's a good guy, man. :(

I've actually been able to have a halfway decent chit-chat with him about considering Barr instead of the media candidate guys. I don't know if he's won over yet, but at least he (as well as a few others I've talked with both online and off) are actually starting to take a look at him now. If he's truly predisposed, I'm thinkin' he wouldn't care too much about even looking in the direction of other candidates with, "I wonder if I like this person instead?"

I'm sure you mean well and all, Buckpasser but please leave Lazlo alone. :(

[Lazlo Toth]

Your latest muse comes after seven and a half years where I never came out and defended any Democrat or myself for that matter.

Come to think of it, I never really defend myself. My posts always focus on Dip, Clever, and Produce, and they always revolve around someone else.

And that inability to defend my actions, combined with the fact that I don't find myself worthy enough to believe someone could value my opinion, is a clear indication of someone hiding the truth from others, and himself.

Occasionally it is a valuable tool for illuminating the ironically self condemning.

And this is a webboard. Our mere presence means we've already sunk as low as we can go.

It is an idiotic thing to do. Nothing "valuable" about it at all, except to satarize the poster who originally did it.

Those who do this are childish and shouldn't be taken seriously.

I never have any fear you won't take me seriously, especially when I'm joking.

You want to be as disrepected and ill-regarded as Produce Man? Fine with me.

Then why do you even bother? It makes no sense for you to be spending as much time here as you do and say it "makes no difference". The two don't add up.

No, sir. Just the irony involved in P-boy's premise for calling out Pro.

You could post 859,000 times a year, live in your mom's tool shed, and collect belly button lint and still have more of a life than Produce.

Your constant political bickering indicates you do indeed give a rat's ass; therefore using your logic, you have no life.
