I'll be in IRC explaining why Obama can't win.Follow

#77 Mar 10 2008 at 5:43 PM Rating: Good
Okay Gbaji, here you go. Three reasons why I support Barack Obama:

1). He's dreamy. Let's face it, we're in tumultuous times, especially concerning foreign relations. I am convinced that Obama's handsome visage, winning smile, and sizzling physique will cause Europe to shut their flapping mouths, disarm nuclear weapons in Korea, and bring the fanatic Muslim terrorists to their knees.

2). He makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I love hearing all about his message of hope, it makes me feel better about myself for voting Kerry in 2004.

3). My mother likes Obama. My mother is ten times the Obama supporter I am, and has even been making campaign phone calls to Latino voters in vital states such as California and Texas. I do whatever my mother tells me to, because she's an angry, scary Cuban woman.

So, there you have it.

For the same reason you think asking is good enough for people to answer you. Because I asked. I don't care about "apples to apples", I'm asking you a question: Can you come up with three things you legitimately and sincerely like about Obama as a potential president?



Are you just dense today?

I didn't say I support Obama for president. You do see how that's significant, right? If you and some friends are thinking of where to go for dinner, and one insists that you go to a specific restaurant, it would be perfectly reasonable for you to ask that person why, right? If that person refused, you wouldn't take their suggestion that seriously, would you? If the person just pointed at a menu available there, you might still ask "Ok. But why there and not at some other place?".


And if in the midst of this discussion, someone else wanders by and insists that you must list off three things that *you* like about the restaurant that the other person is pushing, you'd think they'd totally gone off their rocker, right?


Yes. I think you would. How about the person who holds a position be expected to support/explain it? Is that so much?


It's like a freaking koolaide drinkers convention in here...

No, I just asked a question. I'm sorry that you think you're somehow immune to being asked questions or think that people may only ask questions that fit within your special contextual framework but... well... I asked you a question.

You're welcome to just say "No" or something if you'd like. You're not really required to go on long hissy fits to avoid answering it.

Is it very bright in that glass house? I'm going to guess 'not enough'.

Gbaji, responding to anything with only one word?!?!!!

That's a sign of the apocalypse, right there.

Lol. You guys have been dancing around this for almost a page now. I just find it funny that anyone would be so sure of her political choice and so utterly unwilling to actually state why she made that choice. Downright bizarre really...


I know you think you're doing some sort of chivalric "rescue" here Joph, but does this sort of childish tactic really work for you? I hope to god you don't pull that crap on your son. He'll be in therapy for most of his life...


I can just see it:

Joph Jr: Dad? Can I have a cookie?
Joph: Well son. Only if you can tell me three reasons why I shouldn't give you a cookie...
Joph Jr: Huh!? /cry

Can you enumerate three logical reasons you support McCain?

Note the fourth word in the previous sentence.

I gave my reasons for supporting Obama long ago.

You're so afraid to give my question a straight answer that you'll bend yourself in all sorts of ways. I'll tell you what --- you're so hung up on the "But the CONTEXT!!" angle that I'll start a brand new thread. Then you won't have that excuse to cling to, okay?

Smash is in the category of "people who most want universal health care", right?


"Wants?" Not really. I wanted it when I was 18. When I was 20 it was apparent to me, and anyone not living in some delusional fantasy world that it was unavoidable. Since then, I've basically wanted us to start moving towards it incrementally so that it didn't cause a catastrophic shock to the economy when we did get to it. Unfortunately, the .001% of the population who have a direct self interest in the current system were easily able to dupe a majority of the population with baseless fear, as usual, so now it'll cripple us economically one way or the other within the next 50 years. I'm sure there are people who benefit from the destruction of the middle classes, but I don't count myself among them. You, by the way, ARE the middle class, so let me assure you that you aren't among them, either.

Well, it really comes down to this, gbaji. It's not that I am unwilling to explain why I have chosen Obama as my candidate of choice; it's that I am unwilling to explain it to you. Does that make sense now that I have said it as plainly as possible?
