Expect all the Rev. Wright commercials to start blanketing the country this weekend. The real question is, why would a moslem care what a christian preacher had to say?

It doesn't help us either that Obama has outspent us over 51%.

Yeah it can't help that he actually has a plan for the economy and cares about the middle class either. Geesh, he sure is a ruthless unfair candidate isn't he?

 

When u tax capital gains, corps pass increase prices on to the consumer. It is economics 101.  In summation, you are hurting the long term growth of free markets by voting BO.

When u tax capital gains, teh government has moar monies for the militaries. Where is your god now, Lt. Calley?



Lol @ Borat

Fuck Joe the Plumber by the way.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

In Broward County, FL the 6th largest school district in the country (my home town), the schools organized busses to take 18 year old seniors to the polls...

What did FoxNews report:

A county that was pro-Kerry (65%) in 2004.
GOP is investigating.
Why would they do this, when the polls are open later than school hours?

Wow. FoxNews, you never let me down.

Maybe it's because 18 year olds might have trouble getting to polls, they want to instill the values of voting, or maybe because the polls in Florida are very crowded in the afternoon.

Republicans and FoxNews hate democracy.

Its no longer called voter suppression, steven, the Republicans call it "supply-side voting."  Get it straight.

We haven't seen halogamer in here since that post was immediately followed by three separate rebuttals, each one stronger than the last (if I do say so myself ). 

I also notice he's changed his sig to remove something I commented on (again).

No, now it's called trickle down liberty, only let the rich white people vote and liberty, justice, and democracy will trickle down on everybody else.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Oh well. It was probably for lack of trying. Tomorrow I go to "Poll Watcher" class. I have a five hour shift on Tuesday. Go Colorado!!!

And the latest national Gallup Poll, not that national polls mean much now. It's all down to the states.
