The post above and your self-reply are interesting in the way they reveal your conflicted (schizophrenic?) feelings. While you're dutifully trying to smear Obama, you're also trying to distance yourself intellectually from McCain and his pitbull Palin. Which one is the real TB?

You have a three-digit IQ. You tell me how somebody might have a set of hard-won principles that conflicts to some extent with all the viable choices in an election, but happens to conflict much worse with one of them.

As an aside, I note that the one piece of mythology that all liberals seem to share is a highly-enhanced idea of their own intellectual prowess, and a contempt for the intelligence of anyone who disagrees with them.

Someone with a three-digit IQ might notice that the liberal contempt for "Joe Sixpack" and simultaneous deification of "the working class" seem to collide like two eighteen-wheelers in a snowstorm.

Of course, that conflict is easily resolved if you assume liberals have a deep contempt for such people but just lie to them to gain political power.
