Was your Canadian friend kind enough to tell you that al-Qaeda had nothing to do with Iraq anywhere near the time of the attack on US soil, that any such association was essentially fabricated from whole cloth by the Bush administration, and that your response to your friend was a non sequitur?
What will Obama "Change"? What particular "Hope" does he offer?

"As a member of the Democratic minority in the 109th Congress, he helped create legislation to control conventional weapons and to promote greater public accountability in the use of federal funds. He also made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. During the 110th Congress, he helped create legislation regarding lobbying and electoral fraud, climate change, nuclear terrorism, and care for returned U.S. military personnel. After announcing his presidential campaign in February 2007, Obama emphasized withdrawing American troops from Iraq, energy independence, decreasing the influence of lobbyists, and promoting universal health care as top national priorities."
"Obama directed Illinois Project Vote from April to October 1992, a voter registration drive with a staff of 10 and 700 volunteers that achieved its goal of registering 150,000 of 400,000 unregistered African Americans in the state, leading Crain's Chicago Business to name Obama to its 1993 list of "40 under Forty" powers to be.[23][24]"
"Obama was a founding member of the board of directors of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife, Michelle, became the founding executive director of Public Allies Chicago in early 1993.[13][27] He served on the board of directors of the Woods Fund of Chicago, which in 1985 had been the first foundation to fund Obama's DCP, from 1993â2002, and served on the board of directors of The Joyce Foundation from 1994â2002.[13] Obama served on the board of directors of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge from 1995â2002, as founding president and chairman of the board of directors from 1995â1999.[13] He also served on the board of directors of the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, the Center for Neighborhood Technology, and the Lugenia Burns Hope Center.[13]"
By "some" I mean that McCain has less diversity of experience than Obama, who has both public sector and private sector experience.
Okay. Obviously Biden feels that Obama is now ready. Not sure why you're so upset about that.
Absolutely. McCain has spent his entire career as a government worker. I don't see that as much as a positive as you do.
I have no idea what Canyonman and Pabst have said, or even who they are. I can measure objective facts, though.
Personally I feel that 75% of Internet users are wearing underwear in their mother's basement.
He didn't have to because I have never represented to him or anyone else that Saddam planned or executed 9/11.
The point I was making to my friend was not that the invasion of Iraq was justified because Saddam had anything to do with 9/11, but because Canada isn't the country certain assholes want to destroy, so piss off criticizing us for not being loved by the world, many of whose citizens would delight in Al Qaeda accomplishing their desire to destroy the US.
Did Saddam associate with and give refuge to terrorists? Absolutely. (You are willling to admit that, aren't you?). But was he a partner with bin Laden in planning and executing 9/11? I have never heard anything that would lead me to believe that.
So stop twisting your panties....Not that matters, I would also appreciate it if you could point me to a quote made by Bush or his administration that blamed Iraq for 9/11 and was stated as the reason why we were invading Iraq.
Who do you think planned and carried out 9/11?
Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:
Hey Ice. Two questions.
1. Did you blow a few bong hits before you posted?
2. In the spirit of diversity why did you move out of Chicago and into a non-black suburb?
You may notice this post went unanswered.
Too funny.
I'm a guy who unflinchingly posts the most anti-PC stuff imaginable yet I'm one of the few white guys here who lives in a majority minority neighborhood.
At one time Iceman lived in Chicago. But then like so many other bleeding heart libs he high tailed it to a place where he's miles from the nearest black guy.
I'm sure you know the type. Mostly broads. I've had dozens of conversations like this with my ex-city friends liberal wives.
Uptight MILF: Oh Pabst we really miss Chicago since we moved 35 miles away into our lilly white suburb.
Pabst: Well then why'd you leave?
MILF: It's different now that we have kids.
Pabst: Why? Your husband and me grew up in the city.
MILF: That was then. (code word then means back when Chicago was white.) Now the schools are so bad and Josh is able to walk to school without any trouble.
Pabst: Yea but if everyone keeps feeling like you then the Chicago schools won't have any white kids. It's like reverse discrimination. Besides Chicago spends the exact same on education as your suburban district plus you have easy access to culural institutions. I know you want Josh to be exposed to some diversity.
MILF: Oh our suburb is very diverse. Josh is friends with this simply adorable Thai girl who lives down the block.
Pabst then pukes up his Jack Daniels on Milfs satin blouse.
Fade to black
Why is that, do you think?
Anyone who doesn't think that was an EXTRAORDINARY (political) speech has some serious problems with tolerance and objectivity regardless of their politics! Perhaps younger generations have never experienced what it feels like to stand for something rather than fall for anything!
I was not going to vote for Obama. But tonight I found him a compelling person and I am not apt to get all mushy about politicians! But recall my fellow voters this is not a career politician! Change DOESN'T come FROM Washington it comes TO Washington. Think about that when you vote in November.
"Nothing will ever be attempted IF all objections must first be overcome!"

Why isn't Canada the country bin Laden and co want to destroy? Because it has no power whatsoever and is full of whiny citizens who have nothing better to do than watch hockey, read Daily Kos and Al Franken, and then play back seat driver of American politics on sites like this. Liberal Canadians are the tiny Chihuahua that barks annoyingly at all hours behind a large fence, cowers when the fence is open, and shits all over the place.
