[quote who="Texas Wahine" reply="15" id="1911670"]My apologies if your grandmother is completely sharp-witted at 90 and lives for debate. I know some older people are mean and do try to start arguments or upset people, but I generally think it's better to let them have their way, LOL, rather than try to sort things out and upset them more. I really *was* picturing having this conversation with my Gran-Gran (she's not a Democrat, but she does get stuck on certain topics

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="13" id="1905549"] how do you get that figure? puerto rico, guam, what other territories? For awhile there, I thought you were actually paying some attention to this election campaign, Jack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws[/quote] Oh man I completely forgot about. Thanks for the video, gave me a nice laugh. but wouldn't be 60? He said he visted 57 with one left to go and he wasn't allowed to vist Alaska and Hawaii

The McCain guy has been pretty good to. He could have a little better writing though.

that number is now up to 94.9% chance of victory. A few dubious polls have North Dakota and West Virginia in Obama's favor. http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ http://www.electoral-vote.com/

Most corporations who own our politicians don't want people to make informed decisions, in fact the want americans to focus on things like britney spears. Most corporations don't want people to vote. America should have a system where every one is automatically registered at the age of eighteen like in other countries. Also, as Thomas Jefferson wanted there should be compulsory voting. Right now America has about 54% of the population voting, while places like Australia(95%), Malta(94%), and

[quote who="Dashingprince" reply="3" id="1905282"] Britains national debt is 43%. USA is 61%. I knew you would come up with some sort of anti English stats. The national debt of the UK is small, the recommendation in the EU is not to exceed 60%, the UK is well within that. The government webpage showed that the USA average wage was indeed $38,000 and the UK's $42,000, with the UK working less hours per week. The big mac non

to clarify the actual qoute is "We are no longer just a christian nation" which changes the meaning heavily. Other than the semantics, I agree. The fundamentlists in any religion have a tendency to represent every thing completely opposite of what their religion does represent.

Hey Zubaz, or others who are running the candidate share program. I just tried submitting to candidates, I am not sure if they went through. they are- Democrat- Arugala Elitist and Republican- Christian Cowboy. thanks, great set up guys.

I did a few searches and the only thing I could find was various reports about caucasus between Obama and Clinton. Both sides repeadtly claiming that supporters of both candidates were being "unruly". Nothing offensive though. McCain is one the political untouchables becasuse of the myth he built up around him self. I mean how many times has he reminded of his 2 years of torture and five years in captivity. At least enough to make almost forget the 600 who came home with him. And enough to fo

It has so far been absolutely excellent. We even managed to have fewer wars than before in Europe. [/quote] <

[quote who="Zoologist03" reply="6" id="1904625"] Damned if he does and damned it he doesn't, right? Rather, damned for starting it in the first place. Whoever thought up the campaign position, "LOL OBAMA IZ A TERRORIST AND A A-RAB" needs to be slapped in the fucking face. To go straight to Godwin's Law...how many candidates were accused of being Nazis during the WWII era and did people send out chain letters attributing them to the antichrist?

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="6" id="1904346"] Smoothseascomment 80 you may find out real quick after the election how wrong you were when the pink slips start coming around and the small businesses fold up because they can't keep up with the tax burden. It doesn't matter who is elected....Its almost guarateed that the economy will suffer for almost 2 more years regardless of changes in tax policy. You are right to a point.&n

playing devil's advocate here is a factcheck.org article on McCain's flight history Q: Did McCain crash five planes? Did he cause the 1967 Forrestal fire? <

A closer look at the life and career of John McCain reveals a disturbing record of recklessness and dishonesty. At Fort McNair, an army base located along the Potomac River in the nation's capital, a chance reunion takes place one day between two former POWs. It's the spring of 1974, and Navy commander John Sidney McCain III has returned home from the experience in Hanoi that, according to legend, transformed him from a callow and reck

I do not think republicans chose McCain. Many Republicans were apprehensive this year, thanks to the Bush Adminstration, about running. I think the Republicans best shot all along, Romney, is a good example. He cut his losses early. With everyone dropping out, only McCain(the make-believe maverick), Huckabee(To the right of the Bush Adminstration socially), and Ron Paul(a libertarian in disguise) were left. McCain had an easy walk in to the convention.

I don't really care if a bunch of people I have never met believe or don't believe I read. A book you may like is Jennifer Government, It is a satire. Go to your local book store a read a few chapters if you wish. I have question though do you believe all or most progressives are socialists? If not, what specific examples of Obama's policies lead you to believe he is a socialist? I don't care what other peoples opinions are of other people. Becuase Socialists like Obama, I do

[quote who="Leauki" reply="25" id="1903308"] Obama - supports socialist policies - is supported by foreign and domestic socialist politicians (and fascist politicians) - can be called a socialist because of his support for socialist policies - "socialist" is not an insult McCain (and Bush) - does NOT support fascist policies - is being CONDEMNED by foreign and domestic fascist politicians
