Actually that's not true. Hitler tried for a long time to throw out the people he didn't like. If you read up on when he got into power until around the summer of 1941 Hitler was looking for places to deport the Jews to. In 1940 he even considered turning Madagasgar into 'Jew Island' and putting them all there, but due to the naval superiority of the Allies he couldn't really undertake such an operation.

I'm going to pray to a breadcrumb on the floor that Obama wins. Let's see whether my breadcrumb is mightier than your god.

I can see the idealogical resemblance.

That explains Long Island.

I picked up a battle of Jack the other night too. Thought about going for something more expensive, but I figured since Obama will probably win I should hold onto my money while I still can!

I think Obama's big Gov't is a lot more "Stalin" than anything I could say or do.

Wow pretty clever cutting off the rest of my response in your reply. Typical political radical (note I didn't say Liberal as the Conservatives are just as guilty of doing this), taking peoples comments out of context to change their meaning.

It's anything but political. You poste3d that certain Americans should be kicked out of the country and all their money confiscated and I more or less said you were a moron but in a less confrontational manner.

So I am a moron for making a joke. Again just like a Radical taking a comment out of context. It was a obvious joke. Get a life.

Yeah, and a big reason why we won the war. Nearly half the scientists working on the Manhattan project were German Jews who had fled Nazi Germany in the '30s.

My GF's family lived under Stalin's occupation of their country. I've met them and seen what this did to them and their country.

Linking Obama to Stalin is not only offensive, it's incredibly ignorant and childish. Simply admit that you have no fucking clue what the nature of Stalinism is, and you might learn to tolerate yourself a little more.

Never underestimate the Dem's talent at losing an election I guess. We shall see on Tuesday.

One of the other points he made was that GWB was down to Kerry by 8 points going into Election day. Anyone know if thats true or if he's full of it?

As a hardcore republican, I've moved all my money in on Obama. Come on, let's not kid ourselves here. I've bet plenty of times against my own school's football team, so what? Go read FiveThirtyEight to see what a McCain victory would look like. It makes me laugh because its virtually impossible.

I never "linked" Obama to Stalin I simple said he is more Stalin than me based on a comment by Red Dawn. Try reading the whole thread next time.

What if more than half the nation pray to God and His Mercy for Obama to prevail?

McCain can certainly win, the Republicans have become very good at voter suppression and election manipulation. You will see a lot of 'innocent' errors causing people to not be able to vote, and damn near all of them will favor Republicans.

I think the worst thing of all about any of this is that no matter who wins today, we still have months of Bush left :(

Very True. Sad part is I don't know anyone who will admit to voting for Bush the second time.
