John McCain vs Barack Obama Mega-Politic-Thread of super fun awesomeness.

[Jerome Scuggs]

Grant and Hoover, while both Republican, would have had almost completely different views. Much like Earth's magnetic field, the two parties seem to reverse polarity in between the 19th and 20th centuries.

Hell, the fact that "progressive" T. Roosevelt and "laissez-faire" Hoover were both Republicans - followed by "sound money", "budget-balancing" FDR, a Democrat - should show anyone who chooses to look at these 'political labels' the real, face-value of such terms: zero. Perhaps instead of arguing over labels, you should argue over people - because with those three presidents, regardless of political affiliation or party platform, I see a fairly consistent trend of statism and interventionism that, by normal standards, goes completely against every other conception of 'Republican' or 'Democrat' I see in this thread.

But hey, I could be wrong.

He's not very confident, only $20? A wager of $1000 would maybe convince someone.

I am willing to wage you €1000 that I will still be on the internet next year.

The money in this case is really irrelevant... isn't it? After all... This is a one sided bet... if you want to call it a bet... which I don't. If I'm wrong, I'll just send $20 to Conc if he remembers to quote what I posted above next year. If i'm right, no one's gonna be around to pay me. DUH. :turned: Not that we'll all be dead or something like that. Although the possibility does exist. However, for most of us, at least for most in AmeriKa, especially those that go in opposition of the soon-to-be newly implemented system, or suspected to be in opposition, won't have time for video games. Then again, it's possible Conc could be a soulless, commie-cocksucking-kiss-ass, cowardly pussy that knowingly works for those that destroyed the Constitution and integrity of this nation. In which case, he could very well be around on the internet this time next year... but i wont. That's for sure. ...And if I am wrong, it's just gonna happen sometime later. Sooner or later, it will happen. It's inevitable.

Awesome parody of the 'wahsuupp?' commercial from 2000. Stars the original 8 guys! (election related)

Palin is going rogue!

that was a good clip

Palin is going rogue

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/...ion/index.html

"She is a diva. She takes no advice from anyone," said this McCain adviser. "She does not have any relationships of trust with any of us, her family or anyone else.

"Also, she is playing for her own future and sees herself as the next leader of the party. Remember: Divas trust only unto themselves, as they see themselves as the beginning and end of all wisdom."

I really want someone who doesn't listen to advice and looks after themselves in the white house

oh boy yup i do

EDIT-

since you're going on a roll with the cnn.com articles, i'm guessing you read ed rollins commentary. Typical of older republican voters: they admit that the McCain/Palin ticket is a bad one, yet they resign themselvse to vote for them anyway. I'm not going to go as far as the comments on the bottom of the article and say it's because of racism or someother reason beyond the fact that they just want to stick with their party- even if the ship's starting to sink.

Racism is undeniably a factor, regardless of how many people are going to say otherwise. Just like the fear of Obama being a muslim- he's not, but what if he was? What difference would that make? It doesn't mean he's going to invite Osama to stay at the white house, or try to destroy Christian values while in office.

Some people are scared of what they don't know. Ontop of that, there are alot of older voters, that grew up with the stigma associated with non-whites and had parents that raised them to hate or look down upon people that aren't Christian and White. So yes it's sad, but even though they disagree with McCain/Palin on a number of issues or don't think they should be in the white house, they're going to vote for them anyway just because of the color of Barack's skin.

Never mind that he's half-white, he looks black and that's bad enough.

Here's to hoping most old people with this type of thinking die in the next 20 years, cheers

Obama's going to win. I can't believe I'm going to see a black president in my lifetime. As a cynical teenager I always figured we'd have a WASP forever as a president. The best part is that he's going to win not because of his skin color but because of the effectiveness of his campaign and the popularity of his policies. He won this race, it wasn't a pity vote.
