Kind of hard to understand but worth a listen to. The ignorance is insane.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

There are actually books being published currently which allege (in a roundabout way, because there's no evidence) that Obama is in fact trying to advance a sub-Saharan African agenda, that he's a Muslim extremist, etc. It saddens me that there are people in my country who not only buy into this stuff, but who aren't completely outraged by this sort of witch-hunting.

I dont find it sad that people buy into it.

I find it sad that people like you and I arent in the least surprised that people do believe in it.

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Definately a good point. I know a couple of people who've said something similar, and I just shake my head and call them morons. I've tried explaining how stupid that concept is, but it's done little good so far. I guess I'll just have to accept that some of my friends are idiots. :?

Aye, I find it more pathetic that this shit has gotten to the point where it's practicaly routine to hear people say such things.

And here we go again...

At least McCain did the right thing, to his credit, but check out aorund :50 into this clip to see the depressing state of mind of the American voter.

I'm not too sure I can really find the words to express my opinion properly on that.

It was some lady at a rally saying she doesn't trust Obama because, " he's an arab". McCain snatches back the microphone, and has to try to defend Obama. Morons. :bangwall:

How intriguing. McCain has actually put himself in a position where he is defending his opponent, to his own supporters, and being booed for it.

Surreal.
