[quote who="Draginol" reply="8" id="1902808"] For the people, by the people. It is the responsibilty of the government to serve the people. And in November when the people vote they are telling the government exactly what they feel they are responsibility for. So you may think this or that is not their responsibilty but in Nov.the people will be at least trying to tell the government what they should be responsible for. Of course what they're really saying is

[quote who="Leauki" reply="21" id="1902756"] I don't understand why not being Republican makes you into an automatic socialist. Boy, you are such an idiot. Can you read? I said Obama can be called a socialist because he proposes and promoted _socialist policies_. Is that so difficult to understand? What's the problem? What is the difficult part? What's the part you don't get? [/quote] A

Your right I am ignorant or stupid or what ever. I don't understnad why not being Republican makes you into an automatic socialist. I am stupid because I though it was an exageration. I thought America could belong to more than just devout Republicanism. I see now America should only be for Republicans and Policys, abolish the tax code, privitise the police, Let corporations do what they want. Don't worry about animals, an animal activvist just may turn out to be a neo-nazi(those damn nazis a

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="3" id="1902143"]I'll ignore that chip on your shoulder, Smoothseas, but wikipedia doesn't quite qualify as authoritative in my book. Hence my 'failure' to stumble on that link. I'll just kiss your smug ass goodnight now.[/quote] I feel bad for you if you take any thing on face value and don't do at least a little cross referencing. Thats one of the reasons wiki has source article links, so you can judge how much to believe in the in

Another qoute from Thomas Jefferson. "I hope we shall crush...In it's birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our countries." An Economic theory cannot be the same in the rural 18th century and the Corporation dominated 21st century. Your fear is justified, but your alternatives are outdated and unworkable.

Republicans torture? I seam to remember that the Republicans are those whose presidential candidate is an actual victim of torture (and I don't mean the kind of "torture" a lawyer complains about). Yeah and McCain voted for the torture bill. McCain voted to Torture POW's, if you consider imprisioned Journalists as POW's.(Not that journalists can not be terrorists, but plenty have been held with out charge, liberal ones I might add whom are more likely to diss

On Dr. Guy's reply- The language led me to believe that she was generalising. And KFC- Sorry about some those comments, probably a just little insomnia crankiness. Reading to much in to semantics, my bad. Your grandmother reminds alot of my dad though, on the opposite of the political specterum. I fairly sure he's only voting for McCain because he was in the military. -edit opps typo-

[quote who="mvaunhalen" reply="4" id="1888237"]I have a problem with your 98.5% tax cut statement. Actually what I've been able to come up with is that under Obama's plan (yes I know you said Democrat economics, but Obama is the Presidential nominee for that party) will actually only cut taxes to 80% while repealing current tax cuts for the other 20%. Actually it does appear that Obama's plan will have a larger tax cut for the poor and middle class than McCain's does. That s

Why would you try to pigeon hole all liberals as people who know nothing about anything? If your agrument was most voters regardless of ideology can't distinguish the 10 percent of truth from 90 percent of crap they hear from mainstream media and are therefore clueless, I could agree with you on that. My dad loves voting Republican, he always votes for the past 40 something years, he knows very little at the same point. I also know plenty of democrat voters who have just jumped on the hate Go

I havent had to open one these yet. The only thing I might ask is are you right clicking and choosing open with notepad or word pad?

[quote who="Daiwa" reply="5" id="1901157"] Unprecedently called for the military to be used on home soil permanatly I could swear it was Obama who said he wanted to do exactly this - create a national police force, the domestic equivalent of the US Military. And apparently you're another of the folks suckered into the myth that corporations pay taxes - they absolutely don't, they simply collect them from you and me in the form of higher prices & pass them on to the I

[quote who="Draginol" reply="1" id="1901102"] Calling him Socialist is no different then calling Bush and McCain Facist. Explain how Obama doesn't have socialistic tendancies? Obama believes that money should be taken from one individual and be given to another for no other reason than his belief that one person needs it less than another. If that isn't socialism in action, how do you define it?[/quote] Hey thats fine if you take it that way.

[quote who="Draginol" reply="25" id="1901098"] I bet Fidel Castro agrees with Bush very rarely. Does that mean you would vote for him? On the domestic side,I am not sure what Obama supporters can really argue that Bush did so badly other than not veto the spending spree congressional republicans went on.[/quote] That's idoitic. No I Wouldn't. If I think his policies hurt this country horrible, why would I vote for some whome agrees with him

[quote who="Tova7" reply="22" id="1901060"] Obama definately isnt great, but what horrible things would he do? Encourage Complete energy independance in ten years? What is scary about Obama (to me) is his socialistic tendencies. As we saw with Hoover, a few short years of such thinking and action, can take decades to undo. I think there is a place for government in our lives, but I don't believe it should be the center of it. I certainly don't think we n

Yea, and I guess the simple fact that Congress has been in the Democrats control for the last 2 years has nothing to do with what's going on either right? Oh, but only the President of the US has all the power, right? This kind of ignorant babbling is what is making Obama win. And you know what? I hope he wins, not with my help, but I hope he wins because the ignorance of the average person in this country deserve a punishment only Obama can provide. So what Congress has all

[quote who="Tova7" reply="18" id="1900931"]The fact that our choice is no longer "who is best qualified" but "who is going to screw things up slightly less" is pathetic and reflects on our two-party system I don't agree with McCain on lots of things. The whole buying mortgages issue kills me. The only thing about Obama is, he can do a whole lot of damage in four years. And I think it will take decades to recover from what he intends to do to this country.<br

http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ according to that website, made by a couple of baseball stat trackers who project players stats for the next year. Here is an excerpt from their website about their process. How is this site different from other compilations of polls like Real Clear Politics? There are several principal ways that the F

Claiming Obama or Democrats are Venezuelian, Cuban, USSR like Socialists is no different then claiming Bush, McCain, and Republicans are Nazi, Italian, and Spanish like Facists. By the way where does this whole mandate thing come from? Heck that was the main difference argued between Obama and Clinton's healthcare during the primaries. Clinton wanted a mandatory system, Obama did not. Oh The Argument he doesn't precisly deny it(even though he did, and the argument is se

Maybe a map of Earth. There could be a few good scenarios made from it. Besides who wouldn't like a Putin vs well virtally anyone match up for the world. Don't Know how long it would take to draw up a map. Food for thoughts anyways.

I usually use my points to set atleast moderate postions on 3 or 4 issues. That way as a Democrat for example I could get a war on terror boast. Or as a Republican an Economic Boast.

In fact, he will probably cut them. This reality has been trampled, twisted, turned inside out and scribbled over so many times by the McCain campaign that it is hardly recognizable amid

When I just opened up to play I ran into a weird issue. For No reason the screen continually scrolls down to bottom. I am using the 1.5 beta. It may not have been a huge issue except with randomizing options clicked the Democratic and very rich Montana, which I could barely see.

you need to look in the XML files. In this folder C:\Program Files\Stardock Games\The Political Machine 2008\Data\English\Issues open the file with notepad or something like that. Copy and paste the structure of the text from another issue. Another take on that issue for anyone else who may add that, and how I will be, would Democrats- Diplomacy and Sanction Republican's-Proxy War or War, dpending which countries.

So we got both VP picks, opinions aside. Any word Brad? I am actually lookiing foward to this prediction, considering the startling accuracy of the last.

the Acheivemnets additions sounds cool! You can't complain about additions for custom candidates either!
