Madman,

You bring up good points and I don't have hard answers vindicating or condemning the man. I only know what I've read on the subject of Obama and the pin, pledge, and muslim dress issue. The issues are in my personal opinion open to interpretation based on a persons own disposition. Nothing I have read leads me personally to cast the man into such a negative light that I would dismiss him over Clinton or McCain as a candidate.

If I decide to play the "lesser of two evils" game and vote for someone, I am going to have a hard time between the dems and reps if it's Obama vs McCain. I actually think Obama has more integrity than McCain and that alone would get my vote.

I may not even vote...again... as I am still having a hard time swallowing the "vote for the lesser of two evils" pill.

I also agree with Jorge, not directly in defense of Obama, though I did defend him as I think it's a prime example of the bullshit, non-issue related campaining tactics that both parties use. The campaigning from both sides always boils down to dirty tactics and it is really getting tiring and that is why I posted the Bush images and took the defensive position for Obama.

I think any candidate is open to these types of attacks and they have absolutely nothing to do with the actual issues that need addressed in our nation. It just plain disgusts me that it always turns into this. It's like children on a schoolyard.

I know your position on McCain madman, so if it comes down to him vs Obama, what are you going to do?
