Obviously you need everything spelled out for you......we were discussing the ending of both irrational wars.....
I hate to be the little cloud of reality that breaks through your sunshine world, but we weren't discussing "both irrational wars." Nobody even mentioned Iraq until page 3 of this discussion when you brought it up in some bizarre attempt to link the two. I immediately separated them again. And now you are suddenly talking as if the two were linked from the beginning--now what kind of true reality would this be? But if you doubt me, please reread the thread. From. the. beginning. (you did mention spelling it out)
My opinion is based on what the average American feels towards the wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan and the domestic issues that will most certainly stop the flow of cash towards the war industry in America and elsewhere...... the economy is the #1 issue, not the war on terrorism, not world hunger even! and not what is being stated on CNN and Fox News by generals who in the near future will admit one by one what a failure their war plans were due to their moronic political leadership .....go read what people are saying, no, how bout you wait for the election!!!!!
You don't seem to want to wait for the election to make your conflated claims; why should I wait until the election to make statements backed up by the candidates themselves?
As for your Hillary comment, several before her have went to convention with less delegates and walked away with the nomination so try not to believe everything the tawkin heads around you are pontificating and pay closer attention perhaps.....
I think I hit a sore spot there. I noticed in another thread you are a fan of Ms. Clinton. Can't say I blame you; in another election I might have agreed. Nevertheless, Obama is in the lead, will have a majority of delegates on Tuesday (which should influence the superdelegates, who need a good reason to go against the flow) and time is running out, so you'll have to forgive me for making the egregious error that I believe he is much more likely to win.
you can continue to write off what I have to say but it's not making me respect what you are saying more in case you think it is.
I only wrote off what you said because you've made no effort to back it up. It's one opinion with lots of suggestions and opinions and feelings behind it--but that's it. At least when I present my side I'm making an effort to show it's not a party of one sharing my opinion. You're free to continue saying you don't believe my sources, the "tawkin heads" or anyone who doesn't agree with you. Apparently you think you succeed where the experts fail, use vague references to the "people" or the "public" and tell us the truth is out there. There's just not much of substance to hold onto, and that's why your argument (such as it is) is being written off.
And you don't have to respect my opinion even though I do generally understand and respect the alternate viewpoint that you hold. What I don't respect is your utter lack of effort in defending it.
I refuse to rehash information that supports my opinion that has been out there for quite some time.
In response I say...nah, can't be bothered.
