I don't like either candidate so no whining about the bias in this question.

Update:

AJ, I have not seen this question asked on here, if it has, missed it, as for the question, look at the BIG BOLD letters at the top.

Update 2:

Prof. b, you are on the right track, but the last statement is true, knowing that how would you answer this question? Seems everyone else would like to take this question and turn it around on me, but no one has even come close to the essence of this question. Oh and R.M, I haven't lived in Selma for 8 years. My trolling days are now far East of there.

    Where is that Selma troll when ya need 'em?

    Where ever you grow up it is advised that you not include 'drug user' in you description as Obama used in his.

    For 'community organizer', all his functions were to establish help for the 'under privileged'. 80% of all welfare goes to the 'BLUE' area of a State and 19% goes to the 'RED' area of a State.

    Obama's formal title was "senior lecturer," but the University of Chicago Law School says he "served as a professor" and was "regarded as" a professor but did not have the position of 'Constitutional Law Professor'.

    Most of Obama's positions have called for a suggestion.

    Most of Palin's positions have called for a decision.

    It is not surprising that Obama and his wife went into public service as most LIBERALS do. It is estimated that 72% of all Federal, State and Local employee's are Democrats. Democrats seem to point out that the daughter of Palin will have a child conceived out of wedlock but fail to mention that the mother of Obama was not married when he was born. The democrats protect their own; JFKs afairs were not reported until after his death, Senator Edward Kennedy would have been 'charged' with vehicular manslaughter, a felony, if he had been a republican in his State. As to family, you need to include the brother of Obama that lives on $2.00 a week.

    I think you have a good grasp of facts over bulls***. The duplicity of the McCain camp is astounding and shameful. I had respect for him as a Senator in most part for his aggressive stance against pork barrel spending but, by then bringing in one of the worst offenders completely negates any previous good he may have done!!! Palin ,before her vp offer, went on record saying Hillary Clinton should never say the media was attacking her because of her gender, that her "whining" was bad for women??!!! Huh-is this the woman who her whole team has been WHINING that she has been attacked only because she is a woman!!!! The whole situation from McCain's side is dishonest and duplicitous. He would do well to rid himself of this vp. and call a do-over. This obvious pandering and association with a co-candidate of low moral character and limited intelligence marks his decision making as dismal at best.

    I know! people are insane to even compare these two to each other. They diminish everything The Obamas have done, like it's just nothing. I just can't imagine how you can even compare someone who is a Harvard Grduate, worked for a law firm, work with her community and now is mother to her 2 beautiful kids with a brilliant husband who is just amazing in almost all he's done to another who went to 5 colleges in 5 years just to get a diploma in journalism, 5 kids and still having them at 44 y/o, with a husband that is simply afraid to stand up in front of a camera to talk because all he knows is fishing! Crazy.

    You are right in the listing of every comparison that you made. If you were a logical person you can only reach one logical conclusion.

    Some Americans would rather follow McCain to the gates of hell (where Bin Ladin isn't); to economic destruction and war with Russia than follow Obama down a path to global respect, financial stability and national advancement.

    The sad thing is that Republicans condemn and insult Democrats while disregarding the total lack of integrity of the idiots they vote for. Why would they even bother to try to put down others when they are so blatantly SAD! They're just a flock of sheep.

    i think that Neutrogena Shampoo, (anti-residue formulation) does the superb job. be conscious that in the time of case your hair is very processed, employing this could make your hair sense dry quickly. i could advise employing this shampoo for 2 weeks or so, and then going back to regardless of shampoo you in many circumstances use.

    those are called facts,

    republicans don't read or listen to fact, all they know are talking points, party lines and party lies.

    it does no good to cloud their little heads with those pesky facts,
