“OH” and Benj, It isn’t gotcha so much as what cha got? Why would I want it, and what good is it. But I wouldn’t call it gotcha. What it is, is democracy calling a club a club, and not a bat. What it is calling a duck a duck, and not a swan. What it is, is calling a quack a quack and not Beethoven.

“Oh” hasn’t even attempted to run a business, hasn’t taken a stab at paying a wage for productive salable effort. What has he produced? What has he run, how big was the payroll? For what major state, city or even corporation has he been the executive?

NONE. He has not been tested by time, by pressure, or under fire. Heck he hasn’t even been taken to court. We do not know how good or bad he’ll be. We don’t even know if we want him. All the variables answered by experience are left unanswered. What the heck is the guy even doing in the race? All we know is that he talks very enthusiastically, he begs most effectively, and he is personable. No where in his books in his lectures or in his speeches do we get a clue as to how he will do under the microscope. No where is there a history to allow us to judge his judgment, but the lesser acts of his lifetime. Alas, “OH”s words and your projection of their possible meanings do not lend credibility to “OH” nor am i about to grant to you title as judge of my thoughts nor “OH”s qualifications.

Sitting in that church pew for twenty years does say something definite, meeting Ghadaffi and working with Farrakhan involved actions that allow us to judge the formation of his opinions and involve creeds of faiths that mock his profession of religiosity. The deeds of his associates say much about the man that “OH” is, and what ideals he keeps for company and in his bed.

Even if I agreed with his philosophy, he has not proven himself to be ready. Why is he in the race? You must be humoring us, there is no other possible logical answer to such dark folly. My conclusion is simple, you all must be barking MAD.
