Nice video! Thanks!

You are correct about Obama’s confusion, but your conclusion (I presume an appeal to reason?) is misplaced. Obama is popular because people , when confronted with the irrational, don’t always respond rationally. If they find a part of the message attractive, some are perfectly capable of suspending disbelief in order to pursue their “hope” of realizing that limited promise, despite the fact that everything else says “it ain’t gonna happen.”

I think the only way to combat that, as I said in a post to another thread, is to get them to realize that what they think is desirable really isn’t. Trying to reason with irrational people is may make you feel good, but it’s wasted on them.

But nice try, anyway. And, who knows, you may actually reach some of them.

And just a heads up, it shows your Messiah’s flip-flopping in all its glory.

Without further ado, Arthur: this one’s for you:

Libtards like “Arthur” sold their souls to the devil years ago and don’t regret it one bit.

Yet another ‘discussion’ of the ‘issues’ right Mike?

As for ‘flip-flop(s)’, a completely subjective term which seems a favorite the truly lazy and incurious, let’s take a moment for the late, unlamented Richard Milhouse Nixon:

“Circumstances change…”

“Arthur” and the Obamatons don’t care if their annointed one flip flops. They don’t care if he backtracks on every single issue they claim is so important and constantly complain about when it’s Bush talking about it.

The ONLY thing they care about is naked political power. They have corrupted themselves with hate for anything and anyone witn an (R) after their name.

Libtards like “Arthur” sold their souls to the devil years ago and don’t regret it one bit.

He *does* flip-flop. Granted, it’s a characteristic of every politician, and I’m not denying that McCain hasn’t done it either, but it’s pretty much common knowledge by now that Obama does it as a convenient political tactic, to get the central voters. You can’t deny what’s fact, and not reading about it will definitely not make it any less true.

Cognitive dissonance is the phrase which comes to mind.

One useful strategy I’ve adopted:

Stop reading a piece whenever ‘flip flop’ or any variation thereof occurs.

One can avoid great steaming piles of intellectual dishonesty that way.

When I personally confronted McCain with some of his views that upset the conservative base he didn’t try to weasel around it. In fact, he was very direct and said that he thought his positions were the right ones to take on these issues and he stood by that decision. And he said if that bothers you so much, then don’t vote for him.

And I didn’t in the primary. But I did admire McCain’s willingness to give me “straight talk” especially as the event occurred at a time when nearly everyone thought his campaign was dead.

Obama doesn’t have McCain’s moral and intellectual courage. Have you ever heard him tell one of his supporters who doesn’t like his flip flops not to vote for him?

On the other hand McCain has decades of crossing the aisle and making his base mad as hell, because of his principals. If he believes in it he does it. Consequences from his base be damned. While I disagree with him on much, this character trait is something I respect highly in both Bush and McCain.

Saying you respect McCain for sticking to his principles sounds as stupid as saying you respect Bill Clinton for his marital fidelity.

The only issues he hasn’t fully compromised on is immigration reform and gun rights. And he spends a lot more time talking to La Raza than the NRA…
