I think that's a fair point, but we're using hindsight to judge.
Haha hindsight. It should have been obvious that the Iraq war was premised on a lie. I was against it from day 1 and on principle and not like those people who turned against it simply because shit hit the fan.
I also never bought scotch tape because of a "terror alert" and never feared that my local walmart was going to be hit by "evildoers".

WOW!!! So full of hindsight wisdom, yet the best you can do in life is bag groceries. That's quite a world you live in, bagboy. A true legend in your own mind!

If we were to go down the blasphemous road of depriving of someone the right to vote, I would suggest stripping the right to vote off of anyone who thinks W was a great president or that FOX is a fair and balanced network.
Deny those who disagree with you the right to vote. What a great idea. Thats what they do in Cuba and Venezuela. Now we have a hardcore Obama supporter suggesting it. I wonder why people call Obama and his supporters communists.

Your reading comprehension skills are zero. I suggest you reread what I said with emphasis on "blasphemous"
N.B I am not a "hardcore" Obama supporter, dumbass, I never was.

Yes you were. You saw his poll numbers then jumped off the bandwagon.
I foresaw his decline as to any bandwagons, here is what i wrote in 09/16/2008: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...136751&perpage=6&highlight=obama&pagenumber=4 Bottom of page 4

People should use their brains. We are not electing "King Leonidas" to inspire us and lead us into battle we are electing a MANAGER of the most complex enterprise in the world. So things like who loves america more, who shares "small town values", somebody's personal heroism, who can you have a beer with and other crap people think about should be disposed of quickly.
First and foremost qualification (I am not talking about natural born 35+ year old US citizen) is brain power. The person up there has to be an educated and sophisticated, otherwise he(she?) will hurt him(her)self and others. Other things come second.
Let's go through qualifications of John McCain:
Despite having a father and grandfather that turned out to be Admirals (McCain's father got as high as command of Pacific Command during Vietnam I believe) John McCain graduated FIFTH FROM THE BOTTOM from U.S Naval Academy. He only achieved the rank of Captain (not even rear admiral!)
He was involved in several crashes of airplanes (whose fault it was nobody will ever know) After his much publicized captivity in Vietnam, he returned to USA, ditched his first wife that got disfigured in a car accident and married a richer younger one (that is some achievement marrying into money!) Her money and her family influence got him started in Arizona politics and the rest is history.
John McCain has a reputation for bad temper(comes in handy when dealing with nukes!), does not send e-mail (totally computer illiterate), does not understand economy as he should, and says things like Iraq/Pakistan border. Man is old as dirt.
The bimbo he got as his running mate graduated from the awesome University of Idaho with a BS in journalism, then managed a city of 6000 people (got it burdened with millions in debt obligations) then got to be the governor of a sparsely populated state. At least she is a hockey mom! And she would be one heartbeat from the presidency.
None of this should be construed as blind support for Obama. Obama is a pompous JFK wannabe but Harvard Law>Naval Academy fifth from the bottom any day. Regardless of his arrogance he was a constitutional law professor and that counts for a lot since we have an administration that believes in imperial presidency.
If you want a taste of the McCain presidency it is very simple: 700 billion Military budget (he could try to get it to 1 trillion), horrible economy and potential confrontation with Russia/China/Venezuela/Iran or anyone that looked at him funny.
You are not going to find a flaw in my political acumen. As time progressed (January,February, March) I pointed out many times that Obama is way more likely to be another Carter than FDR.

Just something to ponder on this Women's Suffrage day.
Yes, yes, I know there's many intelligent women that are very informed
and men are better informed? Seriously??? At the college level, females now outnumber males. Some universities have greater than a 57% female to 43% male ratio. And we are not talking historically female colleges, but state and private universities.

I'm only basing this on my own experience, not statistics. Again, not a blanket statement, as I'm sure many are far more informed than me. But generally speaking give a woman a choice between reading a book like FairTax or Meltdown or Liberty & Tyranny, she'll choose a love novel.
I stand by what I said. Overall, they are less informed voters and they tend to side with security over liberty and freedom in their decisions.
