Confronted with the classic conspiracy-thinking of a poster who proposes that Obama’s father might have been Frank Davis, Wretch doesn’t suggest the poster needs his head examined – might lose an acolyte (as per the insight of Habu) – Wretch oh-so-gently gives the notion credence (twice) in the course of oh-so-gently steering folks in a slightly more rational conspiratorial direction – i.e. the Ayers Connection.

Wretchard, Benj objected that you didn’t spank that question of “Oh”s parentage harder.

It is your garden party, You can’t please everyone, so, you got to please yourself.
Nat-in-nad-da-da,

The reformer to pick up from the last thread ought to have some reforming credentials. So where “Oh” can point to one (prison reform and video taping of confessions bill), significant item in his state run, McCain and Palin both have made a career of standing up for what was right. McCain’s evolution from Keating five to writing a bill to reform fanniemac and fredamae, is genuine and shows how close to being swallowed up by the lobbists he came. I have visions of Job as I read McCain’s history. He is honest, he has been tested, and even if you don’t like what he stands for he is willing to at least listen to your side.
A reformer that can get things done, as in delivering maybe 60 of 64 republican votes on the Tarp issue of the buyout package alone. What did “Oh” do, according to Biden he warned about the trouble with Fredamae and Farquar in 2004. I wouldn’t know about that, I was looking for the citation and could not find it, perhaps the Senator got confused about it like he did with all the other statements he made.
