>>Liberals always find a conversation "fruitless" when other people disagree or challenge their opinions.<<

Tell that to Chris Buckley. :-)

Sorry, Dad, I'm Voting for Obama
Chris Buckley:

...John McCain has changed. He said, famously, apropos the Republican debacle post-1994, “We came to Washington to change it, and Washington changed us.” This campaign has changed John McCain. It has made him inauthentic. A once-first class temperament has become irascible and snarly; his positions change, and lack coherence; he makes unrealistic promises, such as balancing the federal budget “by the end of my first term.” Who, really, believes that? Then there was the self-dramatizing and feckless suspension of his campaign over the financial crisis. His ninth-inning attack ads are mean-spirited and pointless. And finally, not to belabor it, there was the Palin nomination. What on earth can he have been thinking?

And btw, I'm amused that you think I'm a 'liberal', whatever that means these days.

I'll be happily voting for David Cameron's Conservative Party at the next election. I've even got money on his winning.

But of course you probably think he's a pinko.

Pompous enough for you ?

Here's dangerous pomposity from BO:

Obama admitted staff members met with controversial Muslim activist groups including CAIR and an imam in early Sept. His campaign has already acknowledged the meeting and said 'it was a mistake.' How many voters will say 'it was a mistake' within months of voting for Barack Hussein Obama? From NBC:
