Wow...I completely disagree. If there was another attack, it'd open the door to Obama who can show proof that the Reps can't protect us and their policy isn't working.

I doubt it. During attacks, people tend to rally behind their country and their country's leader blindly, believing this to be true patriotism. The repubs will argue that in this time of crisis we can't afford to switch the party in charge, dumb people will be scared and vote for McCain... tah fucking da.

Who is this jackass on Hardball that proclaims that calling McCain the true flip-flopper is "preposterous" and is now spinning that Obama is somehow the evil flip-flopper?

The cross-eyed dude? That guy is hilarious.

"Obama's position doesn't matter, what matters is he broke the trust of the voter with campaign finance!"

"McCain is not flip-flopping, he's taking the better position!"

The problem is simply that most people don't understand what terrorism really is.
Click to expand...
It is a form of diplomacy used by the forces of evil, such as Osama Bin Laden, Fidel Castro, Saddam Hussein, Barack Hussein, and Kim Jong-Il, in which evil brown, black, or yellow people target good white folk civilian persons with unprovoked acts of violence, using unconventional methods such as: suiciding by ramming a plane into a skyscraper, suiciding by blowing yourself up in a crowded market place, or suiciding by setting off a super germ device that gives everyone in a five thousand mile radius a combination of SARS, Anthrax, and the bird flu. The immediate goals of such attacks are to terrorize the American people, and the ultimate goal is complete destruction of America. Why? Because those terrorists hate our freedom.

Duh.


Unlike those terrorist people, Americans have always been civil in their acts against world powers. Americans such as The Sons of Liberty are to be commended for their acts of civil disobedience in tarring and feathering british tax collectors, making sure that the tar war hot enough to burn them to death.



In conclusion, the terrorists hate our freedom, and they are much more barbaric than America ever has been or could think of being.

I'm pretty slackjawed that McCain is getting indignant about the public finance issue, since during the primaries he specifically broke the laws that he helped write by accepting a loan that used his promise of getting public financing as collateral, then opting out of the system.

You know, the thing that annoys me right now watching the "news" is that the right-wing media is spending their time slandering Obama at every turn, that now the left-wing media has to spend time debunking all their bullshit instead of talking about real issues.

It's an ugly cycle.

That is much, much more important than any of the BS the news is talking about right now. *huge* conflict of interest, and central to the arguments of both campaigns. But nope, no coverage. :\

You're gonna get in dutch with your other friends, SD, but welcome back.

Whatever happened to natural gas? I remember hearing once that we had enough domestic natural gas to meet our power needs for 100 years. An industry claim, yes, but cars can be retrofitted or manufactured to run on natural gas (many of the local buses run on it), it's clean(er?), and it's not imported. Yet, I don't ever hear it mentioned in the energy debate.

I know my house uses it and it's a whole lot cheaper than oil, why people would use oil for their homes I don't know.

Well he talked about the seal a lot (which is idiotic you'd have to admit, way too presumptuous) though now he's attacking his decision to eschew public financing (which I personally agreed with Obama on, though he shouldn't have agreed to McCain's proposal from the beginning).

This is what cracks me up about the seal, which just looked bad.

Look at the third symbol. But it's ok for them to do it:p

Thankee. I don't get the fuss though, candidates are always saying "when I'm President" and such, I thought it was just expected. I think Obama should accept public funding, my understanding is that it doesn't mean he can't spend his money, just limits what he can do with it, right? That should be alright
