The Manchurian Candidate was brainwashed into being a Communist assassin. By calling him, you're saying that he's been brainwashed and really represents the other side (whatever that is, in this day and age).

If his BS appeals to you, fine, but I tend to judge my presidential candidates a bit more solidly. It seems to me you want a liberal President so badly you gloss over the weaknesses in the candidate.

>>>I don't see how your evaluation of Obama equates to unpatriotic. It's fine for you to say you think there's no substance there. I disagree, but so what. But how does the lack of substance you perceive make him unpatriotic?

>>It doesn't, directly. But his lack of continuity on issues indicates that he puts his own election as more important than the welfare of the nation. Now, to be fair, this is not isolated to Obama.

>I don't think it's far at all to say he is more concerned with himself than the welfare of the nation. He just recognizes that he want accomplish any of the things he wants to for the nation without being elected. I am not happy with some of his recent moves toward the center, but you're right, that always happens. McCain has done the same thing, trying to play down his conservatism.

Most of the flip-flops are typical of elections, however some of them concern me like this one I posted in another thread:

I believe his most recent statement is the wiser one, but the fact that he had to do an about face concerns me. That is very dangerous in foreign relations.
