In Biden's case, I think it's pretty cool. We could use a good diplomat, you know? And what about Jim's comments? His data is based on what he's experienced so far. I tend to agree with him. * * * I find it ironic, that it seems like Obama is actually listening, and answering (go ahead, knock him for his pauses, and poke fun at his ums), and the Repubs are all like "no substance", while McCain hems and haws. Yet, he "represents". > How many of you have fretted over getting hired on a new job because you > didn't have experience on your resume, but you knew good and damn well you > could do the job because you had guts and tenacity?

People have always wanted me, for what I can do, or have done for others. And I'm a people person. I never put much store in paper. The proof is in the pudding. I've got a portfolio that wows. Screw the degree, unless it's for something fun, like philosophy, maybe. Just kidding-- degrees are fine, school is good, everyone should be furthering their education, so whatever works for you, go for it. I get the idea, but there has to be "something" besides "I'm a go getter" -- how so, ya know? > How many BILLIONAIRES and MILLIONAIRES made their money not knowing the > FIRST THING about business when they first started?

If we really wanted to see guts and tenacity, we'd of put Ron Paul in there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTIRRThOTCQ They laugh when he talks about blowback. Laugh!

FWIW, I'm rooting for Obama because I like him best. I *love* Ron Paul, but he'd be killed quicker than you can say "yup". We need a mouthpiece. A mouthpiece for the people. We the people. Who have lost our way. Yes, even if Obama gets in there, we're probably still screwed. Because it ain't really about the President. It's about us. We're apathetic about shit we shouldn't be. (He says, apathetically. ;]) McCain is fine, but he isn't pushing the right kind of change. Still better than what we got now tho, and at least, different. *shrug* We're probably screwed either way tho, like I said earlier. The problem is us. -- Love without conversation is impossible.
