"Now I guess, if you are a complete moron and have very poor comprehension skills.."


Don't worry about it, but what part of "I know how to do it" don't you understand?

Oh, I get it! You are using the KO technique to willfully misinterpret the statement.

I don't blame you. McCain thinks any Hillary voter who would switch allegiances over Palin is stupid, stupid because Palin stands for the opposite of just about everything Hillary stands for. Stupid because the worst thing Hillary voters could do to Hillary's chances and the Presidency, not to mention her legacy and America, is to vote for McCain because of Palin. That said, I understand there still may be a lot of frustration. It was a hard fought battle. Obama will make good. He already has shown good faith in spotlighting the Clintons at the convention. He will continue to do so. McCain, on the other hand

"You think KO is reality? Great. Good luck with that. I'm not going to argue any further, if that's what you think is reality, no point in going on."

You were not able to put the lie to what Olbermann said, or more accurately what he quoted McCain as saying. You can argue that everything that Olbermann says must be false by decree. Seems like killing the messenger to me. I believe you should take a closer look at the truth of the message itself.

It's useless trying to convince some people. They love Bush and believe everything he says. I don't believe anything Bush has ever said.

"No counter-terrorism measures during eight years in office????? Hhhmmmm....that would be Bill Clinton."

Um, Bush was 20% through his term after receiving multiple warnings, both general and as specific as a big fat memo about al Qaeda about to strike. One of those warnings was by CIA Director Tenet who told the Bushies that the number one threat on the Clinton threat list was al Qaeda. What did Bush do? Nothing. In fact, when Tenet told the Bushies about the number one threat being al Qaeda they couldn't care less - all they wanted to talk about was the number 8 threat - Iraq. It's all documented friend. It would be a hoot if it weren't so sad.

By the way, it looks like you are somehow trying to shirk blame for all the Bush failures on Clinton. That's a little old. Literally!

"It's useless trying to convince some people. They love Bush and believe everything he says. I don't believe anything Bush has ever said."

It's very helpful for other undecided voters to see the debate. If can't just stop again at the rah rah rah let's vote for the guy we'd be more comfortable having a beer with. We just can't afford another four more years of Bush McCain. The Republicans need to be sent a message - America demands more from you. And it's time to give the Democrats a chance. America did just fine under them last time, in fact a heck of a lot better than under Bush.

The terrorist attacks that occurred during Clinton's 8 years with no counter-terrorism measures, friend.

1993 World Trade Center bombing
1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia
1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia
1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa
2000 bombing of the USS Cole

Uh huh. Keep trying to blame Clinton. He caught the guy who was responsible for bombing the World Trade Center on his watch. He caught the Oklahoma City bomber. And he would never, never, never have sat on his hands the way Bush did before 9/11 despite all the warning signs. And he would never, never, never have gotten so distracted in getting the guy who blew up the World Trade Center on his watch.

By the way, there's one recent President I guarantee both you and I agree was not bad. Ronald Reagan. What did he do when terrorists in the Middle East blew no less than 241 of America's finest to smithereens? Get the heck out. Our Republican Party used to understand that you can't fight every battle, and we are not appointed by G-d to go on a Crusade to rid the world of evil, to intervene in every foreign policy morass we can find.

"American peacekeeping forces in Beirut, a part of a multinational force (MNF) during the Lebanese Civil War who had been earlier deployed by Reagan, were attacked on October 23, 1983. The Beirut barracks bombing resulted in the deaths of 241 American servicemen by suicide bombers. Reagan called the attack "despicable", pledged to keep a military force in Lebanon, and planned to target the Sheik Abdullah barracks in Baalbek, Lebanon, training ground for Hezbollah fighters, but the mission was later aborted. On February 7, 1984, President Reagan ordered the Marines to begin withdrawal from Lebanon."

Right, whatever. KO, no lies.. total truth.. no spin at all. Like I said, good luck with that.
