eat a dick buddy.

i laughed at him because that topic alone has been discussed on here MANY times. do i need to state any facts again? why waste my time. just like every other political thread on here, people have their own opinions so why are you getting so bent out of shape? btw, what you wrote is bad karma which will come back to you in due time. good luck with that.

why do u think obama is such a joke?

Palin scares the shit out of me to be honest...i do think mccain could do a good job at running the country, but he seems to have his head barried in saying everything that is wrong with obamas platform, rather then saying what is right with his.

i do honestly think that mccain has i high chance of dying in his 4 years of office by natural causes, and do u really want palin to have palin at the head of the ship??

even though i dont live in america i personally wouldnt want that dumdum with the nuclear codes.

i am sure she can do alot of positive work behind the sceans, but as a leader of the 'free world'...i think not...

comments?

hell no. Palin scares the shit out of me too bro. If you ever watched her debate with Biden, 90% of the time she changed the subject and talked about what a damn Maverick McCain is.

She has been the Governor of my state for two years...in that time she has accomplished the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act (AGIA) for a natural gas pipeline..something other people had been saying they would do for 18 years or something insane.

She is a self-made woman, who didn't stand on her husband's shoulders, and use his reputation and clout to get where she is (a la Hillary), and has had the highest approval rating of her states constituents among any Governor in the country.

She is a woman of action. And we need someone who can be decisive...Obama has proven he can't be by his senate voting record alone. He also plans to do idiotic things economically...coal will be all but bankrupt under his plan, meaning electricity will skyrocket (thanks for helping with the energy problem, Barry). All I hear when he talks is "CHANGE", but he hasn't actually said how he'll change things.

And nationalized healthcare is a horrible idea, not to pick on you guys, but...look at Canada.

She's not a "dumdum", she was notified same-day that McCain wanted her on the ticket with him, so naturally it takes some time to adjust to the new environment.
Give her a year and she'll surprise you all, I promise...That's what she did here.

rain make traffic bad, so I took backroads to get to school. There were some obama sign people just goin crazy at one corner, but I hit a puddle and splashed them (a sincere accident). If I had a bit more of a cold heart, I wish I splashed them while hollerin for McCain.

You fail to refute anything I've said with facts about your savior, Obama...please make an intelligent statement, or don't bother making one at all. Just more proof that the people voting for Barack Hussein Obama don't even know why they are doing it.

Yay for listening to the liberal media instead of actually getting off you ass and doing some research into the candidates and the policies and plans they have.

There are a lot of opinions that don't deserve the dignity of a rebuttal...

Krugman wrote a good piece for the times on people like this:

Why the bold on Hussein?  Does it have some sort of significance i've missed out on?

is there some sub article d section 37 in the constitution that says people who have a middle name Hussein aren't allowed to be the president?

They way you made "Hussein" bold leads me to believe you actually think somebody's NAME has relevance in their ability to govern. It also tells me you're probably a racist egomaniac fuck. If you're basing your vote on ethnicity, please go find the nearest bridge and make good use of it.

O RLY?

Cute.

Don't presume to tell me what I believe...I would vote for a black president just as fast as I'd vote for a woman president.

I will not, however...vote for this man, because he isn't fit to lead. He refuses to say the pledge of allegiance, or wear an american flag pin or anything of the like....this is really the guy you want as the commander-in-chief of this country? Really?

The world is in the midst of an economic crisis, and the country is in the midst of a war that has gone on longer than World War II. And you're basing your vote on whether someone wore a pin on their lapel.

That, sir, is why you are an idiot.

Good thing you made sure to elaborate that his middle name happens to be hussein. that's a completely legitimate reason why he shouldn't be president. did you know obama rhymes with osama? shoulda thrown that in there.

listen, you may be sick of hearing the word change thrown out a lot, but frankly just as many of us are sick of people bitching about the liberal media. go and do something about it then. the opposite of liberal media is fox news, and you don't hear anybody raving about them.

HES UNAMERICAN.
FUCK ACTUAL VALUES
HE DOESNT WEAR A FLAG PIN!!!!
nothing says american like a stupod fucking pin. when did he refuse to say the pledge?

Hes not fit to lead.... been addressed so many times.
Palin was an executive, true. she was also an executive for a state of how many? Not even a million? A state that in no way demonstrates how america works. then theres the fact that she STILL cant tell you what the vice president does. STILL.
Obama meanwhile has state and us senate experience.

Unfortunatly...NS isn't a credible source, and even if it were, as you just stated, they are opinions only.


Not one of you has argued Obama's senate record, or his energy or national healthcare plan, or really any of the issues, but if you'll resort to name-calling, I don't mind calling Obama by his real, full name.

Alright J.D.


Then please tell me which part of Obama's plans to fix those things you like best...because he's already told us that he plans on ruining the coal industry, and driving energy costs even higher. His pullout plan for the war isn't of any consequence because we've already got one, it can't happen tomorrow though, that would be a huge fail.

Until him, I'd never heard a politician, much less a presidential candidate actually say be wanted to destroy a part of the US economy.

So do I, that's why I did it, I knew someone would freak about him being called his full name, and it happened.

You still haven't made any sort of comment on the actual issues...so now I'm the one waiting...

I (i know this was addressed to JD but im throwing in my 2 cents)
Like his healthcare plan
I like his tax plan
I like his energy. Noone ever said that no longer polluting a shitload was gonna be cheap.
I like the fact that he is more critical of the war, as opposed to Palin and McCain, mccain who loves the war and palin who thinks god sent us there.
I like that he doesnt blindly support israel
I like that he actually wants to talk, not just wave a big stick. DIPLOMACY what a concept

See, just that quote right there is evidence that you don't do this "research" you're whining about, you just regurgitate talking points. The quote this particular talking point comes from refers to the fact that dirty coal plants tend to violate so many environmental regulations that owing to fines, they can't possibly be profitable. Humorously, in 2005 McCain co-sponsored a bill that had the exact same purpose. Which is fine... it just reveals the hypocrisy of these knee-jerk reactionary lee-atwater style political smears.

What do I like about Obama's plans? I like that he's found a fair middle ground between national health care A La Hillary (which America is too stubborn to accept), and a fully privatized system which involves dying people fighting to get their insurance companies to cover them and leaves millions of people without coverage praying they don't get hurt.

I'm also pretty impressed by his focus on infrastructure down there... the electrical grid in many parts of the country is woefully out of date, you'd think you were in rural China or something. It's vulnerable to attack, should another one happen, and isn't up to par in terms of transporting the products of alternative energy sources intranationally.

That's a good thing. In a country that's fallen to shit and is the most hated place on the entire planet, anybody thinking that they're doing the right thing by supporting it, is a failure. After everything the USA has fucked up in the past decade, you still think the next person to lead should support that bullshit? By wearing a pin? Ha. I guess the fact that you like America so much proves that you'd like to see it get even worse (believe it or not, it's possible).
I'd like to know when the last time you said the pledge of allegiance was...

Ok, what about his healthcare plan do you like?
Ditto to the tax plan?

Ummm, show me where McCain loves the war?
Of course he doesn't support Israel...he was raised Muslim.
Bush has been talking with Leaders in Iraq about the war and pulling back for months...and Bush didn't have this idea, and the regime change in Iraq was official US policy before Bush ever made it into Office...a guy named "Clinton" made that policy...but we never acknowledge that do we?

I think everyone has the right to healthcare. and he his trying to achieve that without the full on socialized medicine of Hilary.
I believe that the rich SHOULD pay higher taxes. they are making more, they should pull more weight.
Fuck you your a moron, clearly every muslim hates israel. no he doesnt BLINDLY support israel since they do a fantastic job of fucking over the palestinians.
Didnt see clinton invading did you....
Clearly bush is trying to pull out.. hence the surge.
Mccain, all he talks about is victory there, something that really isnt obtainable.
