  1. I certainly do.
    Obama certainly is not the Messiah some people make of him, but the lesser evil imho.


  2. Couldn't have said it better myself. There's stuff about him that I don't like, but even more about McCain that makes me shudder. I can't believe some of the mindset that pops up at these McCain rallies and from his supporters. (I.E., Obama is a secret Muslim, a Communist, a terrorist, an "Arab." Unbelievably sad, IMO)

    Colin Powell said something on Meet the Press today that I hope gets a lot of air. In essence he criticized the idea it would be bad IF Obama actually was Muslim. I applaud Sec. Powell for standing up for that idea.

    that's exactly what came to my mind when I saw all the fuss about him being a Muslim or not...it offended me actually...but well, it's not a perfect world, and America isn't perfect either...
  5. It's easy. Obama=Osama=Muslim=terrorist.
    That's the simple maths some parties use. They try to keep the citizens in fear. McCain uses that fear, too when he is talking about the US being under constant threat. That the new president won't have time to get used to his role in the white house...
    Disgusting.

    Have you asked every US citizen? I think it's what they call a sweeping generalisation, and something that happens far too often.
  7. I never like these childish accusations being thrown to each other, and therefore, I do not like these pre-election debates and conferences. Two grown-up men are acting like some teenagers, while one of them will be one of the most powerful man on this earth within months. Unbelievable...

    You're right about that, Harry, but still...

    I think that of a lot of politicians unfortunately. I sometimes listen to Prime Minister's Question Time on BBC radio on a Wednesday afternoon, and when you hear the childish way in which matters of state are "debated" (and I mean that in the loosest sense of the word) is positively shameful, with grown men shouting and bawling at each other and, quite frankly, acting like spoilt brats. It's shocking.

    No worries mate, that's just my perdantic personality getting the better of me. Thing is though, the use of such generalisations can cause serious harm and damage, and it's why I try and avoid them - it's the sort of thing tabloid press thrive on.

    I'm confused, Ali. Which part did you find offensive? The part about the rumors that he was a *GASP* Muslim, or Powell's comments? Just curious to know your opinion of the situation.


  12. I think their jobs are still important today, it's the 2 year campaign process that I can't stand.
