I was definitely joking, but I didn’t even bother to put a snark tag on it. This guy’s entire comment was about the empty suit that is Obama and his campaign, then for the last line, he used an Obama campaign talking point. It is obvious to me, even if it isn’t to anyone else.

I suppose it takes all kinds to make the world go round, but it certainly doesn’t look like a banning offense to me.

He says what we all know…O is an empty suit full of empty promises but all the media reports is the show.

I know this is truly cynical but really is anyone noticing the Obama campaign in one year of time has managed to say nothing. His opponents have but have been unable to break through the media’s protective coverage. While cracks have appeared in the hull of USS Obama. It could still make port into the White House.

He says that if we have noticed (and we have) Obama has said nothing but we have not been able to break through the veneer of hope/change. Even though his poll numbers are slipping, he could still win this thing.

He is sailing right pass the iceberg this national convention is for him. Could you imagine 4 days of Hope and Change in the most flowery language possible. It would be like a 100 word essay stretch out to make a 1000 word essay. It would come painfully obivious all Obama has to offer is just words for the next four years.

The convention has pratfalls for an Obama campaign as focused attention may cause people to recognize the emptiness of the affair. All four days are going to be empty sloganeering of hopey changey, stretching what should be a sentence into a campaign. Ronsboy believes this is the iceburg aspect of the convention, people might notice.

My prediction is we open with the Obama’s biography. The next few days the Clintons take a self absorb moment to toot their horns. Press will wonder about the ramifications–will Democrats be able to unify. Then out to Invesco Field to learn “Obama is the one we are waiting for (HOPE) and now is the moment we start the CHANGE to heal the world.”

This is just a summary of the activities of convention that we know is coming.

WHAM-BAM!! Nothing said but it did seem historical.

Reiterates the convention is going to sound historical, but BO is still just an empty suit.

PS McCain is BUSH’s third term.

The line that is causing the consternation. He is saying that this will be the other big theme of the convention. Mr. Historical HopeyChangey slams McCain as McSame.

All this is just my translation of ronsboy’s comment. And I’m not a sockpuppet, so I won’t sign it in blood.

McCain has been a huge critic of the administration on many issues key to conservatives, whether it was the handling of the war in Iraq, pork-barrel spending and earmark, or giving out tax cuts while not cutting spending. Sen. McCain will not be a 3rd Bush term. Yes there will be some similarities (anti-abortion, strong national security influence, low taxes, etc.), but that is the conservative way. There will be differences on how they go about obtaining those goals, with Sen. McCain being more responsible to Americans (fiscal responsibility, engaging allies more, strengthening treaties, and putting more pressure on beligerent nations like Russia). I would love for you to explain how McCain is going to be a 3rd Bush term, because that is a loaded comment that broods much resentment in a large portion of our population and yet you have no ground to stand on with it.</p> I am confused RonsBoy as to how you can just trhow out a critical statement as that and yet not back it up with anything definitive.
