Sorry, no no... You can't spin and run.
What propraganda? My reasons come straight from the horse's mouth. Besides, who else is posting propaganda? One person stands against the Obama and you deem it "a lot?"
Who/What is a credible source of information?
"Thinking that properly inflated tires will conserve all the oil we desperately need from off shore drilling."
----------
... I can't believe people are still using this argument. It was Bush's own administration who said that we would save much oil by doing this. NASCAR even promotes the idea. Even McCain conceded the point which you can easily find on Youtube. The drill debate is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion. Most people who really understand this issue think its a good idea. Calling for drilling is purely political.
"Saying there should be a civilian security force just as powerful and well funded as the military."
----------
Hmmm... Not quite sure about this one. But I remember a similar video with McCain saying something very similar(or the same).
"Believing there are 57 States in this country."
----------
You can't seriously believe this. No credible news organization even mentioned it. Why? because it was a simple mistake. Like when McCain said talked about Czechoslovakia this year when that country has not existed since 1993.
"Lets not forget his use of racial slurs such as "typical white person"
----------
Again, no credible new organization went after him over this statement? Why? Because understood the context and realized what he meant.
"Refusal to cover his heart with his hand during the National Anthem"
----------
Another falsehood. Snopes.com debunked that long ago. And again, no credible new organization mentioned it. Oh and it wasn't the National Anthem. It was singing "God Bless America" which people don't generally put their hand on their hearts.
"Calling a racist-as-they-come-pastor, Jeremiah Wright, his "mentor" of twenty years"
----------
I agree for the most part. McCain has some seedy pastors in his pocket as well. Religion and politics do not mix.
"Having a wife that has not been proud of her country until now."
----------
Another ridiculous smear. Only people who went after this was the ultra right-wing. Most reasonable people knew what she meant.
The Democrats leave me no other choice: John McCain by default.
----------
That's what 3rd parties are for.
Again, I by no means support Obama. If someone would put out some falsehoods about McCain, I would defend him as well.
The only candidate I am leaning towards is Bob Barr. If he convinces me that he is past his neocon-ish ways, his vote is mine.
Oh and as far as credible websites? There are plenty. Most are bias one way or the other but you can always compare and contrast. Factcheck.org and Politifact.com are pretty good. Even Snopes.com, a not ordinarily political website, debunked most of your "facts" (and anti-McCain smears as well).
I don't intend on responding to your reply. Nothing against you or your views. I really see no point in discussing politics online or otherwise. I already feel as though I have wasted time and words. People generally already have a solid opinion and rarely stray from it. That goes for myself as well.
P.S. Just because you got these "facts" in the email, doesn't mean they are true. Research is your friend.
