how could any american vote for four more years of what we have had for the past eight years.
i am voting for obama.
question for any american who voted for gearoge bush.
are you embarrassed by your vote?
-
Plenty will vote for him though :zombiefuck: I don't think it will be enough for him to win. I will vote for obama out of the lesser of two evils rule
-
I didn't vote for Bush and I am leaning towards Obama anyways. I wouldn't be embarrassed either way, as at least I would be voting. I would be more ashamed of not voting in the first place. Both candidates are shit as usual, I can't seem to really like any politician. The annoying part is me knowing that the electoral college really is deciding this thing anyways.
-
Who gives a fuck?
The notion that democracy exists is an insult to my intelligence - I'd be embarassed to vote any way.

Why not when you can write in Bugs Bunny?

I wanted Bush to win the election back in the year 2000. Why? Because I wanted a pattern to make our history interesting, Bush Clinton Bush. Such a naive teen I was. Now it would make me an idiot if I did it as an adult. I didn't vote for him though in 2004.

A bunch of people I know are writing my name down as a Write-In Candidate. Wish me luck!! :headbang2:

Vote Spoil - it's the logical thing to do.

Probably better than either candidate. It is fun to vote for imaginary write in candidates.

I think the guy I'm dating will vote for McCain if he votes- not as a way of supporting McCain but as a way of not taking the election seriously (and because it won't make a difference). I missed my chance to register to vote; I didn't make the time (though I could have gone out of my way if I was really motivated) because I'm also preeeeetty sure it won't make a difference. My state votes for me; if Massachusetts votes for McCain I'll eat my hat.

What kind of hat, and will you be using any sauce? I doubt Mass will vote for McCain btw.

i can't take this election seriously any more: a system which allows for a fuckwad like palin even being nominated for VP is beyond ridiculous.

A few hundred people like you was all that was needed in 2000.
I'm worried now.

As if McCain wasn't bad enough we will have to deal with her when he dies in office.

I'm proud to say I voted for George Bush twice and not Gore or Kerry.
The Great President Bush has done a great job handling the mess Clintoon left him and kept people employed in spite of record fuel prices, the DOT.CON crash, hurricanes, terrorist attacks and no way in hell would I vote for the dumocrap poverty pimps who created the mortgage mess.
Obama will make the Jimmy Carter years look like the good old days, the people about 45 an younger have no clue what the good life under dumocraps is like, they are about to find out.

Bush is an idiot! Even his own party wants nothing to do with him. You are truly clueless. ::)

"Idiot" is far too nice, in my opinion.
-
bush handled katrina well? sorry, did i miss something?
(and i could say something along the same lines for most of johnny's post, but that one really made my jaw drop with incredulity). ::)
-
Bush has done more damage than Al Qaeda ever could. And god knows both have been trying their best.

Possibly.
I think that almost all the politicians, most especially the ones whose residences were in danger while they still made careerbucks off the local tax revenues, continued to ignore the scientists who warned for a generation or more about this impending catastrophe. Even the "majestic and all(NOT)powerful" National Historical Society was ignored, for some reason.
This was predicted well in advance by all the engineers whose early mentors designed the safeguards, but what is the value of New Orleans, if they are costing money instead of enticing tourism?
Seriously, sending the reserve army to the site of the disaster was constantly viewed in hindsight as "too little, too late," but at the point where a natural disaster has finally come to call, swamping a major city with collapsing levees, what else could anyone do.
Bush gets my nod for getting help there as quickly as the vehicles, loaded with supplies needed could traverse the land and air. I know a bit about hurricanes and you can not fly a heavily loaded cargo plane, let alone land one, into the aftermath of a category four or five hurricane, nor can you drive across the land for a time, without a great deal of exploration first. Hurricanes are serious, but major ones fuckking rule! Mankind's best efforts are insignificant against them.
No one could have done more. PERIOD.
(Oh, please, do!)
Found some nature love for you ... ONE bitchin' fuckin' storm comin' our way!

If I can remember correctly, this was taken In FUCKING mississippi, NOT Louisiana! Louisiana is the black part where no radio communication is possible.

OH, btw, I have come close to hating the Bush administration. I am NOT a McCainiac, but I'll be damned before I vote in the tax increases of an Obama administration.
many of his ideas are valid, but most of what Obama wants to do will fuck over all of us.
I don't know yet which is thethe worst of evils!

Only if you make more than $200,000! At least that is what his plan says.
-
Get real dude.
What plan is it that excludes us in the 160,000 range. We are fucked, if he goes forward with his plan.
We have jobs, we have paid insurance, we have food, we can afford the gas to get to work. Why should I pay for you (and I don't know anything about you, but I mean a third of the population) to not pay.

I really and truly wish your election would only affect your country. That way we could shrug and complain about the morons *we* have instead of the morons you elect but that will affect our lives even though we are not allowed a word edgewise.

FEMA functioned very well in every state but LA. because people who won't help themselves can't be helped.

Nope. Your beloved W did most of it by himself. Problem is, not only did he bankrupt YOUR country, he had a fair go with the rest of the globe.
Kiss him goodbye.

no cheating required, just learn the system and play the game to grab every advantage you can.
now stop charging everything to your business you can dream of :thumbup:
I know you have to wash the windows in your truck, but the amount of bounty & windex you claim to use looks fishy to me, are you sure some of it wasn't for personal use ? I know you have to wash your work cloths, but writing off the Tide & washing machine might be pushing it :green:

and in reality most of the socail welfare spending was already built into the system and if Jimmy Carter hadn't let Iran fall we wouldn't have had problems in the middle east for the last 30 years and there would have been no need for home land security and probably half the military spending the last 30 years.

Do you Remember 1987
Thought you might be interested in this forgotten bit of information........
It was 1987! At a lecture the other day they were playing an old news video of Lt.Col. Oliver North testifying at the Iran-Contra hearings during the Reagan Administration.
There was Ollie in front of God and country getting the third degree, but what he said was stunning!
He was being drilled by a senator; 'Did you not recently spend close to $60,000 for a home security system?'
Ollie replied, 'Yes, I did, Sir.'
The senator continued, trying to get a laugh out of the audience, 'Isn't that just a little excessive?'
'No, sir,' continued Ollie.
'No? And why not?' the senator asked.
'Because the lives of my family and I were threatened, sir.'
'Threatened? By whom?' the senator questioned.
'By a terrorist, sir' Ollie answered.
'Terrorist? What terrorist could possibly scare you that much?'
'His name is Osama bin Laden, sir' Ollie replied.
At this point the senator tried to repeat the name, but couldn't pronounce it, which most people back then probably couldn't. A couple of people laughed at the attempt. Then the senator continued. Why are you so afraid of this man?' the senator asked.
'Because, sir, he is the most evil person alive that I know of', Ollie answered.
'And what do you recommend we do about him?' asked the senator.
'Well, sir, if it was up to me, I would recommend that an assassin team be formed to eliminate him and his men from the face of the earth.'
The senator disagreed with this approach, and that was all that was shown of the clip.
By the way, that senator was Al Gore!
Also:
Terrorist pilot Mohammad Atta blew up a bus in Israel in 1986. The Israelis captured, tried and imprisoned him. As part of the Oslo agreement with the Palestinians in 1993, Israel had to agree to release so-called 'political prisoners.'
However, the Israelis would not release any with blood on their hands, The American President at the time, Bill Clinton, and his Secretary of State, Warren Christopher, 'insisted' that all prisoners be released.
Thus Mohammad Atta was freed and eventually thanked us by flying an airplane into Tower One of the World Trade Center .. This was reported by many of the American TV networks at the time that the terrorists were first identified.
It was censored in the US from all later reports.

That would be called selective memory, right?
Look what happened at the local level in per capita taxes, FFS, during the Clinton administration. Yes, the federal taxes went up a little bit, even less than the controlled inflation bill which is coming due now, but check your pocket. How much did electricity go up?

Go on believing that if you like. In reality, your view of foreign politics is like a child's. Wide-eyed and trusting, and so naive it hurts. I guess you never had to face the consequences of any of the things your heroes did.

Democracy is a scary thing. Palin is trying to get nominated for 2012 now anyway.

The PC reply is " you aren't seeing the bigger picture " that is what management uses when employee's try and tell them they are clueless.
seeing as how you can't dispute the social welfare cost where the dumocrpas making and the middle east problem was the dumocrpas making, it's evident you can only stomp your feet like a child it's Bush's fault because that is what the media brainwashed you to believe.

If I could give you and only intelligent, well informed people a vote, I would. Unfortunately, sixty to seventy percent of the public (my estimation and I am pretending to be quite gracious, here) are not deserving of the privilege to cast a vote that weighs so heavily on the future history of the entire world.
:GA:

Still think it's a shame he missed. :laugh:
I don't get this.
The old lawdog Cheney "accidentally" hit with a stray shot died about three or four days later and he had been hit by Cheney's shotgun.
... or do you mean that he would have been a faster gun than Cheney and Cheney should have been hit?
(actually, it was too late by this time - he had already balanced the strings of the GWB puppet into a dance that is still going)

I think this picture sums it up.

I think the guy I'm dating will vote for McCain if he votes- not as a way of supporting McCain but as a way of not taking the election seriously (and because it won't make a difference). I missed my chance to register to vote; I didn't make the time (though I could have gone out of my way if I was really motivated) because I'm also preeeeetty sure it won't make a difference. My state votes for me; if Massachusetts votes for McCain I'll eat my hat.
When I'm in Boston in a couple of weeks, you wanna hook up? :eyebrows:
I'll take your silence as a "No way in hell you sick bastard!" Rejection is my muse!

Bush has done more damage than Al Qaeda ever could. And god knows both have been trying their best.
and in reality it was the dumocraps who nearly bankrupted the country
Nope. Your beloved W did most of it by himself. Problem is, not only did he bankrupt YOUR country, he had a fair go with the rest of the globe.
Kiss him goodbye.
and in reality most of the socail welfare spending was already built into the system and if Jimmy Carter hadn't let Iran fall we wouldn't have had problems in the middle east for the last 30 years and there would have been no need for home land security and probably half the military spending the last 30 years.

Go on believing that if you like. In reality, your view of foreign politics is like a child's. Wide-eyed and trusting, and so naive it hurts. I guess you never had to face the consequences of any of the things your heroes did.
The PC reply is " you aren't seeing the bigger picture " that is what management uses when employee's try and tell them they are clueless.
seeing as how you can't dispute the social welfare cost where the dumocrpas making and the middle east problem was the dumocrpas making, it's evident you can only stomp your feet like a child it's Bush's fault because that is what the media brainwashed you to believe.
My first reaction was to laugh. My second to cry.
Your opinions aren't worth either.

I really and truly wish your election would only affect your country. That way we could shrug and complain about the morons *we* have instead of the morons you elect but that will affect our lives even though we are not allowed a word edgewise.
If I could give you and only intelligent, well informed people a vote, I would. Unfortunately, sixty to seventy percent of the public (my estimation and I am pretending to be quite gracious, here) are not deserving of the privilege to cast a vote that weighs so heavily on the future history of the entire world.

I'd say our figures seem to be pretty much the same.

So the rest of the world gets to pass off blame for their economic troubles on the US? I think the problems that the world is facing (along with the US) are largely due to the people themselves. We can blame the politicians, but in the end we are the ones buying things and not saving our own money.

I didn't even mention the current financial crisis--let's face it, our fat cats are just as guilty--but I do blame Bush & Co for making the world a more dangerous place to live in.
-
The world always has and always will be a dangerous place to live in. The war in Iraq would have just been replaced with another war elsewhere at another time.
-
I'm proud to say I voted for George Bush twice and not Gore or Kerry.
The Great President Bush has done a great job handling the mess Clintoon left him and kept people employed in spite of record fuel prices, the DOT.CON crash, hurricanes, terrorist attacks and no way in hell would I vote for the dumocrap poverty pimps who created the mortgage mess.
Obama will make the Jimmy Carter years look like the good old days, the people about 45 an younger have no clue what the good life under dumocraps is like, they are about to find out.

If living in a fantasy world means believing that Bush was a fucktard who ruined the economy by ballooning the deficit and started wars for spurious reasons that endangered US citizens worldwide--as well as created a police state apparatus that Joe McCarthy could have only dreamed of that spies on millions of innocent citizens--then I prefer my "fantasy" to your "reality."
Short answer: Worst. President. Ever.

Looked it up on wiki, seems to be interesting fiction.
Do you know the history of women rulers and warfare? They are not all peaceful, actually most women rulers have been just as likely (if not moreso) to engage in warfare as their male counterparts. Some quick research can find you that even with the overall small percentage of female rulers, most have engaged in war of some kind.

It is women trying to breed the violence out of humanity. They have their own society and only choose women and men who are not violent to breed. Violence is not hereditary imo. It comes from the environment and the animalistic instincts within all humans (flight vs fight).
-
I'm not impressed with either candidate, but I'm more afraid of McCain/Palin. I find it really stupid that a lot of people don't want Obama because of his name and think he's a terrorist. O_O I used to get upset when people stereotyped Americans as stupid (since I'm an American, and it felt like a shot against me), but lately I feel they're right. Instead of researching what McCain is for and what Obama is for, people are wanting Obama because he's black (which he's only half) or they don't want him because of his name...or they want to vote for McCain because Palin is hot. It's hard to find an intelligent debate lately.
I also really hate the whole 2 party system of the US. It fucking sucks having to choose the lesser of two evils every election because most people feel it's a waste of vote to vote for one of the other parties.
-

Because people are not violent by family. I don't see a family full of violent people usually. My uncle might be an violent person, but the rest of his brothers and sisters are not really violent. He just had a fucked up life, compared to the rest of his siblings. I just do not see violence being bred out of any animal totally. We have to respond to threats, no matter if they come from our species or another. You can't run away from everything.
I wouldn't want a world full of passive-aggressive types. The world would be shit, and I do not believe in truly passive people (they always have an underlying aggressiveness in them). Violence is necessary in some cases to get things done that would not have been accomplished otherwise. Sometimes people just do not respond to other tactics.

LBJ was the worst followed by carter and than clinton and seeing as how people haven't had enough pain yet obama should top all three of them.

Huh - I did a bit of research and it supported that idea, that the cycle of abuse depends on environment more than genes. I suspect that there is a genetic tendency, but the modeling of violence in the environment activates it.

Liberty magazine did a comparative study a few years back and found that, on average, Repub and Demo admins are likely to tax US citizens about the same, with the Repubs having a slight edge on taxation. (I think the Cato Institute did the same comparison with the same results.) As far as personal freedoms, I used to think the Dems respected them more, but Clinton convinced me otherwise. That's why I call a pox on both their houses.

I think the guy I'm dating will vote for McCain if he votes- not as a way of supporting McCain but as a way of not taking the election seriously (and because it won't make a difference). I missed my chance to register to vote; I didn't make the time (though I could have gone out of my way if I was really motivated) because I'm also preeeeetty sure it won't make a difference. My state votes for me; if Massachusetts votes for McCain I'll eat my hat.
that makes me sick.
of course it won't mke a difference when asshats like your bf don't take these things seriously. write buggs bunny if you have to but why vote for an evil fuckhead who has a big chance to win just for your amusement? disgusting. >:(
to be able to vote is a fucking privelege. who gets elected affects the whole globe but people in america don't even care to vote properly while the rest of the planet sits on their ass unable to help things. you know how that feels? FRUSTRATING.

I don't even know why I still bother to do research on the hypocrites next in line to put us in the crapper. It would make me feel better if I didn't take it so seriously, and just flip a fucking coin.

This is one of the reasons voting was at first restricted to those of maturity. Once, potential voters weere not allowed to register without proof of land ownership. Too bad they fucked this up, about two centuries ago.
Owning a plot of land, your OWN FUCKING LAND, changes ones perspective and encourages one to consider more thoroughly the future consequences of the high pressure political issues of the voting day.
There is much more to it than bills or hardons.

I hate all door to door people and generally ignore then knocking
Same here, but instead of ignoring them, I see their visit as an excuse to be even more rude than they are for ringinging my door bell.
I forgive the teens who are pressed into door to door panhandling though. poor little miserable bastards deserve a break if they have the guts to hammer on every fucking door trying to get to some support for an upcoming music trip or something furthering their education.
:zombiefuck:
can't help it. it's not their fault
Political supporters, though? They deserve a proper mindfuck on principle.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The Anchorage Daily News, Alaska's largest newspaper, has endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for president.
The newspaper said Sunday the Democrat "brings far more promise to the office. In a time of grave economic crisis, he displays thoughtful analysis, enlists wise counsel and operates with a cool, steady hand

I read today that Palin isn't thinking about 2008 anymore, she's looking toward 2012.
I hope she does run... she's bat-shit crazy.
:blonde:
I don't mind laughing at her, but I sure as shit don't want her running my country.

This is one of the reasons voting was at first restricted to those of maturity. Once, potential voters weere not allowed to register without proof of land ownership. Too bad they fucked this up, about two centuries ago.
Owning a plot of land, your OWN FUCKING LAND, changes ones perspective and encourages one to consider more thoroughly the future consequences of the high pressure political issues of the voting day.
There is much more to it than bills or hardons.
Kind of elitist, don't you think? "Owning" land has not changed me one bit politically.
-
Agreed. Because I travel and rent, I shouldn't have a right to vote?
Besides, I thought you didn't believe that anybody could really own land.

Yes and a gal to do it with :laugh:
If the bills where paid, then my mind would be more free to worry about other things.

It's changed me some it made me hate the government more and become more active in local politics to stave of the bloodthirsty bastards and keep them from telling me what I can do on my own land

I was responding to Randy's post. Try it sometime.

it was an ancient idea that did not work ... read history, asshole!
It was also meant as a reminder to any who have forgotten the grave responsibility we all hold at the polls.
Those who think that voting with their hormones, influenced by some fucked up state THEY have put THEMSELVES into, makes THEM more wholesome than someone, well read, up-to-the-moment-in-politics, who has spent a great deal of time and effort understanding the law and the reasons for this particular vote being critical to all of us or are somehow more involved or are more anti-elitist or are anything other than a fucking bag of idiots, then go ahead and call us, who have much more to lose than a missed wank or two, Elitist.
If informed voting makes me Elitist, then so be it. I AM elitist!
The voters who actually comprehend the issues these days are unfortunately few and people who emotionally jack-off-in-a-tissue to divine their voting strategy are not worth our time.
... this is why they had such a tough time agreeing on who should have the right to vote, early on.

I do, sometimes.
Your opinion sure as hell sounded like it generalized to others aside from Randy.
Besides, I believe people with intellectual disabilities have a right to a say over their lives just like the so-called intelligent and well-informed elite.

Projection lens feeling needy or what!?!
What opinion are you talking about? I was paraphrasing historical content for its comic value. Why are you pretending to be involved at all, anyway?!?
OK. This bit was a stretch and may have included a component or two worthy of debate in some realm, but not mine:
"There is much more to it ["it "meaning our right to vote] than bills or hardons."
Take me to task for such as this, but the rest has nothing to do with you or anything except the specifics of Randy's statement.
You don't really think that, even if I had the power, I would to restrict your right to vote do you?
:asthing:

Yes, but not without help to best guide them. Only thing elite about me is my desire :laugh: I can only talk shit, at least I can look you in the eye now, otherwise I would feel too bad to do so.

Good for you, Randy!
Eye contact can be a bitch. It was slapped into me at an early age and upon realizing that we may have a problem with this area, I swore I would not do that to my kids. I would find other ways.
They are both struggling to master this one still. My daughter is ahaed of the game, though. She is doing very well. She has something beyond NT in the empathy department and can see into people in ways that seem to baffle even her psychologist. Also she has social skills, natural ones, that my son does not have.
After seeing a long National Geographic film about the human body's hormonal responses to various things, my son stopped an interaction with a young friend to take his pulse. He wouldn't respond at all to her, until he had finished taking his pulse, because the film mentioned that when we like someone, our pulse becomes elevated and he wanted to find out if he liked her.
(another example of where we are with him as opposed to her)

QFT.

I would think, at least, self esteem is critical to that. If I herd the rest of thoughts while they tried to do what is best for them, I could make a therapy :laugh: My therapist told me about teacher or something like that, who would make it look like he was looking them in the eye. The self esteem of not letting things walk on me was enough for me. I find so many uses now for my own self, but still no voting.

I didn't get the comedy of the historical content. I really thought you were saying that it would be better if only land-owners got to vote, which seemed unusually closed-minded. I wasn't going to comment until Trigger11 said what I'd been thinking and I saw that it might not be all in my head.
At any rate, we're clearly not seeing eye to eye, but it's not that important.

Likely. Scrounging for energy at the moment, and losing ground. Don't know what will fix it except time. Apologies for stepping on your toes.

I responded to his remark, at first, in the character of those who tried to implement such restrictions, until the last line, which was back to me, again.
I probably should work on my delivery.

Sarah Palin ruined his chances of getting elected.

Holy shit! Sizzling political commentary only 7 years after the event itself. Pappy has really outdone himself today. A true political genius and expert!
Have you considered taking a job at one of the major networks? Or maybe writing a book? I'm sure you have other scintillating insight like "Ted Kennedy cost Jimmy Carter a second term", and "Ross Perot put Clinton into office". Maybe, "Democrats and Republicans really don't see eye to eye anymore"!
Amazing stuff, really. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!!

This is something that I said as soon as they announced her as McCain's running mate.
Even back then it was obvious that she would alienate moderates, or anyone with a brain.
