Challenge to political forum participants.
How about in the remaining days of the run for President, we do a better job of discussion than the candidates. My challenge is for all to support their candidate on their respective merits or lack thereof (if applicable).

Talk about CHANGE!

Somebody telling me what either candidate said or did yesterday as justification for one's position today does little or nothing for me.
I am still looking forward to any post that can make or support it's response without using what the candidates are saying, doing to each other.....using YOUR candidates merits to support one's position. I just don't know why that is so difficult. For starters it means not using the cannon fodder rhetoric of the media or each participants spin and dirt doctors.

By the way, I am pretty sure that at no time since I have been posting on this forum did I ever say John McCain was my man. How about another hypososis: what if a person was a Democrat and concluded they were not for Obama....because they don't like him, where he came from, what he said/says, etc....and on this forum asks why others accept what he has to offer, no questions asked...does it follow the person must be for the opposition?

Judging by the initial responses to the challenge....I accept it is for naught.
Must just be too difficult an assignment!! Kinda disappointing.....but I'll get over it in time.......(OK I am over it)
