I'm talking to my friend about last night's debate. He's the type of guy who will look for any excuse to NOT vote for Obama.
Just as the analysts said on CNN and MSNBC-- McCain was effective with his base. My friend seems to think McCain was great last night. And yes, to the right wing, he hit it out of the park. Man, I wish my friend would stop watching FOX News...
More of his thoughts:
"How the hell does he plan on paying for all of his wonderful plans?"
"McCain should have continued saying "where were you 4 years ago?" Ohh? Were you even in Washington?!"

My "whining" was about the absurd level of speculation on display, which echoed of the absurd level of speculation re: Bristol having birthed down's baby, and then today we have people putting forward this California kid that wants to be a wrapper claiming to be the father and we're supposed to take this seriously... :lol
My "whining," as it were, would not have a basis in McCain bias, but bias against Enquirer level nonsense.
JayDubya said:I think Evillore just has dozens upon dozens of accounts. There's no other way to explain this many people being so irrational.
On the other hand, one account is all you need to change nearly every political thread's focus to that of your libertarian wackiness.
EviLore said:
People dogpile me and make it personal and start attacking other things I said several threads ago and namecall and attack strawmen. I don't make them do any of that.
When they do these things, I get my hackles raised and I stick up for myself.
Ordinarily I'd have gone on to do other things, but I'm home sick today.

Orange County, Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill. There was a steady stream of people out there, not too long lines though (today was the first day for early voting in Orange County). I didn't see many McCain people out, but I saw a lot of Obama/Biden people out. When I turned in my ballot the electronic counter read 532 ballots processed.

Thanks-sounds about right in terms of that 532 number. Definitely in line with everything except some of the holy cow numbers I am hearing out of Wake.

Hence my postulation!
However, there's always something to fall back on re: demographics on a forum full of videogamers and that ol' standby Churchill quote.

JayDubya: I suggest you drop the 'victim' routine, you make posts you know are going to cause a reaction given the political make-up of the GAF community and then cry foul when things escalate and you find yourself "picked on".
You are capable of debate, and generally not disruptive enough for us to worry about, so learn to drop out of threads and you'll be good & safe, if not you'll end up 'deadmeated' due to constant thread derailment.
I suggest Tea and Cookies and a good calming book, rather than further snipes.

didnt read all the replies, but, did it ever occur to you all that maybe he was referring to being asked to go to a McCain rally? He never said he was asked to go to a Obama rally as a plant. Yeeesh, way to jump the gun. That seems to be the thing about liberals now a days, making mountains out of mole hills.

I don't think I could keep down tea or cookies, and like I said, I only haven't dropped out due to being home sick and being booooooored.
But fair enough.
More feeble attempts to get the Rainbow Pudding in FFIV DS for me, then. I'm sure it's recharged by now. Cheers!

That would neither be objectively good, nor considering the audience, calming.
Sadly, Cecil Harvey is non-eligible for the Presidency, being both fictional, and from the moon.

But rilly, folks. ~98% of the population rejects libertarianism every two years on Election Day.
That means either they're not rational, which undermines a major tenet of libertarian economic thought, or
They are rational and it is in their best interest to vote Republicrat. Neither one seems like it would be terribly appealing for you.
I think the best tack in this situation is "they are probably voting in their own self-interest, but it's still unethical for them to use the state coercion to achieve their ends."
So there's this weird McCain/RNC commercial playing here that talks about Obama's "unethical" friends, it mentions Rezko and then 2 other people that even I haven't heard of, then ties him to Harry Reid and congressional liberals. It's just a really weird commercial that doesn't seem like it would be effective.
This comment was made this morning, but I wanted to respond to it:
Not necessarily. Deadlock can also lead to inaction. A simple example would be the bills Bush vetoed that had timetables for the withdrawal of Iraq. Most people want out. Most congressmen want out. The veto pen keeps us in.
Also: Look at the reforms that FDR and the congresses he had to work with passed. That government was pretty lopsided.
Of course, yo ucan also look at Bush and the republican dominated congress for six years for counter evidence.
My point is, it doesn't really matter in terms of what gets done, but how much gets done.

That gallup poll looks pretty bad for obama. I wonder if it was taken right after the debate or not. Maybe the MaCcain's performance at the debate won him over some votes.
