hanley smith-downs says he would respect the comments against obama if the commenters would admit there is nothing that would persuade them to vote for obama “or anyone like him.” it’s unclear what he means by “anyone like him” – race? his inexperience? his dishonesty?

i shall assume he did not mean race, because that stupidity would make the question unworthy of an answer.

i will “admit” that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that could persuade me to vote for obama. he has a lifelong history that tells me he cannot be trusted, he is lost in his own skin and stumbling around looking for an identity, and what identity he has found has come from the horrendous choices he has made in terms of friends and mentors. in addition, he has run the most dishonest campaign i have witnessed (and i’ve witnessed 4 decades of them). he has shamelessly played the race card, while pretending that his opponents are the ones doing it. he has whined when the truth was revealed (how dare someone actually record his “cling” words and report them…).

obama has received more media support than any candidate could have dreamed of. msnbc has become the all-obama network and cnn is pretty close to that. they provide hour upon hour of free air time, fawn to the nth degree, come up with the spin for him if he hasn’t provided it. yet he thinks he’s been in a tough campaign.

there is so much more, such as rezko, auchi, ayers/dohrn, the new info about money laundering, etc. but the basic answer to hanley-smith-downs is yes – there is nothing that could persuade me to vote for obama. all the posturing and speeches and spin in the world cannot cover up the truth.
