I know - all this bickering is a bit of a buzz kill. At least if McCain somehow pulls this one out of the fire (which I sincerely doubt will occur) I won't be here, trying to ruin the good news for my Republican friends. In 2004, post-election, this place was full of threads started by Republicans, who were patronizingly offering advice to Democrats about how they might rebuild. That, combined with a particularly vicious insult by Bozack (what a coincidence!) questioning my patriotism despite my years of military service drove me away from this place for the better part of a year. One wonders what the Republican reaction here will be if Obama wins . . .

But then again it is Anand's sandbox so whatever, this is just my typical rant.

I get angrily PM'd every time I make a "tasteful" joke about Chinamen, or call Cindy McCain a wise and beautiful woman. All those personal messages have been from your "partisan a holes" mods. I think that your typical rant is full of shit.

Myself, lol no, for some reason I am able to hold down a job, but then again I don't go do stupid things like loading SETI online on my clients workstations....

But I know plenty of people who contract that are feeling the burn because of the Mass law...plus the coverage they get sucks.

Man I use some offensive language and don't shy away from profanity, but think about what you are saying...they slapped you down because you made racial remarks and a really degrading comment about a woman...and somehow you can find a way to bring that into the conversation here...and I thought I was fucking stupid, thanks for proving to me that there are bigger morons out there than I and some post here.

I fail to see the context here? please enlighten me...so is this a critique of Bush? the Republican party or just some typical bullshit catch phrase...last I checked Bush wasn't running here and also he wasn't the only one that Ok'd the war...and please don't go off on some tangent about intelligence and spinning info as I think we have all read it on countless occasions before. But how does any of that have to do with my point that there was never a draft and people are not forced into the military no matter how badly some would like to believe they are.

Yeah, that sucks, but I view that as either would have done it if put in office so it was a shaft job either way...

my big issue is socialized healthcare....of even worse if they use the Massachusetts model for everyone..not something I am a fan of.

My big issue is that we have yet another corrupt and opaque government like we have had, like you've supported, and like you're yet again supporting right here.

With the big government failures of the Bush administration, this argument is no longer about big govt vs. small govt. That's just a partisan duh-version for the Pubs that has long ago worn thin. What it's really about what kind of big govt you want. You are not a small government supporter if you're backing McCain in light of all this.

That would be funny if it did happen but no, I just will hope that he lives up to my expectation of sucking.

That's a wonderful sentiment. Well the guy I wanted didn't win so I hope the other guy runs this country irrevocably to the ground. That'll show 'em!

This lady had limited civic duty experience and abused her powers, both as mayor of a 6-7000 populace town and governor of a state with 600,000 residents. The fact that McCain allowed her to be chosen by his campaign brain trust is embarrassing, but the fact that they didn't anticipate this scandal is inexcusable. The vortex under McCain and company is spiraling down and down. You can hear the power flush.

I am not an optimist Vic, I don't think Obama will be any better in this regard and the only reason in my mind we don't see as much or any issues of a similar nature is because of his short time doing anything relevant....

You're right about govt and its size, I think one can be in favor of small govt and also support McCain but realize that he isn't an ideal candidate....I don't like Obama's tax plan nor do I like his stance on healthcare...other than that I don't really care, thus those two issues push me towards McCain...but the rose colored messiah worship of the big O make me like the guy even less, and honestly makes me hope he falls on his face if he gets in..nothing is that good, no matter how many people talk it up...period.

Some fine examples of chickenhawks are:

  • Harvey, this is called get a clue...he was referring to my post.

The BIG DEAL here is the Hypocrisy that the Mccain Palin Campain asserts about being ethical and that they possess higher moral character and integrity for the office of the president of the united states while questioning the other candidate about their character.

Dont assert yourselves to be the agents of reform and change and denounce others when your actions CLEARLY demonstrates that you yourself have been unethical.

Thats Hypocrisy of the highest order..


Thats the big deal ...

Is the power flush the kind where there's a little jet thing aimed perpendicular to the down hole in the bottom of the toilet. I love that, since it makes the really labored, sticky shit fly away in one or two flushes, versus three to five flushes.

You guys are really great, thinking that the Pres really has that much control....one can't hope that the country will do fine regardless of how their possible president does or appears? sorry but I am not one that thinks the Pres has that much of an impact, and I certainly think the country can do fine with him having a shitty run if he got in...the two don't have to be tied

I've always said that loyal partisanship exists solely as an expedient cover up for political corruption, and thanks for proving me right on that.

So people are supposed to ignore their own personal values in situations such as this Vic for what? a lesser of two evils scenerio...sorry, this case means little to me, I don't give one shit if she abused power to boot out her sisters ex, to me that pales in comparison to getting a socialist in the oval office, period.

Fortunately, and I mean this with all due respect, it doesn't really matter what you think or how you feel (any more than it matters what I think). The reality is that we will more than likely find out how President Obama deals with our present economic crisis, and I hope it's the right way. The situation is too calamitous to hope for him to fail. I don't know whether you're serious about wanting him to do poorly, but if you are, you're prepared to doom your children and grandchildren to a worse country in order to prove yourself right. If that's really true, you're a moron, plain and simple.

Seconded ...

I find that, although Walt Monegan's refusal to fire trooper Michael Wooten was not the sole reason he was fired by Governor Sarah Palin, it was likely a contributing factor to his termination as Commissioner of Public Safety. In spite of that, Governor Palin's firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads.
Unless there is something else more damning I think the above sums the whole thing up.

You are a tool.

Like I said, the pres cannot on their own make that big of a difference, but when they have the backing of the house and the senate...now that's a different story, so yeah I think higher taxes and socialized health care 0r mandated healthcare like MA would be a go if he makes it in.

If the democrats get 60 seats in the senate yes he can. He won't even have to Pelosi/Reid will do it for him. We know Obama will just rubber stamp it. Pelosi/Reid have to be happy as hell they get free run of the country because Obama won't stand up to them. They know any shitty bill they send will be rubber stamped.
