Why is it (none / 0) (#60)

that you feel the need to defend every criticism of McCain with a "Well Obama does it too" response?  You don't even care if it is relevant, so long as it properly deflects the argument.

We've gone over the websitegate several times.  How bout you address this point rather than hide behind past criticisms of Obama?

No, I'm arguing with your (none / 0) (#70)

style of defense which seems to be exactly what you are projecting on others. The "defense" of criticisms of Obama's lack of experience was first to shout "Threadjack" then to insist that McCain doesn't have any experience either and then to say, never mind, that doesn't matter because he misstated history so therefore he's unqualified. But the problem with that argument is that Obama's misstated history too and if that's all it takes to be unqualified then neither one is qualified. That's where YOUR argument leads. We are just pointing it out to you, again.

  I'm not voting lesser of two evils this time, partly because I'm not sure which is which, and partly because its finally reached the stage where all "lesser-ism" is doing is promoting lies and banality from both sides. If you want to convince  us here to vote for Obama, tell us something positive about him or what he's done, don't just repeat the "McCain Bad" mantra. I get that  McCain is not what I want in a President. But Obama isn't either and at this point voting "None of the above" seems like the only rational choice to me. And I will continue to criticize whatever I feel deserves criticism, regardless of who's selling it and who thinks I should just fall in line and STFU.
