Yanks only: Who are you voting for on Tuesday?

[AchrisK]

God damn it. When things go bad I want it noted I did not vote for the democrat.

Duly noted.

 

[Matt]

Duly noted.

How typical, ignore all the prior responses directed at you. Typical republican, you think you know everything.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

You're a fucking moron, fuck off and die.

Talk about having no class...

Don't be a fucking tool. He's not ignoring anyone, just expressing his opinion.

 

[divine_torture]

? The victory for anti-racism on the part of white people is the only bright spot that I see.
.

Agreed. At least now I can walk freely without the label of racist or biggot. Even though I voted against Obama.

 

[AchrisK]

That's FUCKING RIDICULOUS. Did you watch any of the debates? Did you see how McCain disrespected Obama almost every chance he got? Not to mention running one of the dirtiest campaigns ever? You're fucking full of shit.

What I saw was McCain trying to point out things that should matter, and attempting to keep his people in line when they said and did inappropriate things. I saw Obama do no such thing. He goes back on his word about public funding, exploit the tactic of associating McCain with Bush, seal his records, dot dot dot

EDIT: Sorry I don't type fast enough for you...

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Yeah, jeez - it's like those guys were trying to get elected President or something.

McCain was forced to defend his people when their stupidity got out of hand. He showed no class in his campaign, and that was partly why he lost. The other reason was that the American people finally realized that the only "socialism" that will go on is "redistributing the wealth" down, instead of up.

 

[skeptik]

For the record Obama is NOT the most liberal senator.

 

[divine_torture]

On top of that, Obama also agreed with about half of what McCain said, while McCain merely pointed out inconsistencies and arguable stances of Obama.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

It's called CONCESSION and is a valuable LOGICAL FORM OF ARGUMENTATION which allows you to NOT LOOK LIKE A TOTAL ASSHOLE JERK.

 

[Matt]

That was just what McCain said in his 7 state extravaganza yesterday, and obviously Chris instantly believed it to be true.

 

[AchrisK]

For the record Obama is NOT the most liberal senator.

I thought he was. If not, he has to be pretty close.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

He's been saying it for a long time, and it is false. Russ Feingold and ACTUAL SOCIALIST Bernie Sanders are both more liberal.

ack: you're not doing your research bro.

edit: actually the above is probably wrong but here's a list

National Journal: Most liberal senators, lifetime voting
1. Mark Dayton, D-Minn.
2. Paul Sarbanes, D-Md.
3. Jack Reed, D-R.I.
4. Jon Corzine, D-N.J.
5. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.
6. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.
7. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa
8. Richard Durbin, D-Ill.
9. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J.
10. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt

Also:

The first-and-fourth-most-liberal-senators argument is a common talking point by GOP operatives. The following are some examples of prominent right-winger who have misinformed audiences:

Robert Novak

Sean Hannity

Bill O'Reilly

Joe Scarborough

The Bush campaign

owned.

But after so many "concessions" it becomes questionable.

All the accusations of "socialism" really are pretty annoying. It's as if it's a mortal sin that we do anything about the fact that the top 1% of income earners in the country are making almost 20% of the country's income, and that 8% to 12% of the population can't even afford health insurance...

 

[seedofvengeance]

I'm very excited about this. I wasn't the biggest Obama supporter, but I'm usually a yellow dog democrat. While there's the possibility that Obama could run the country in to the ground, there is also the chance he fixes a lot of the problems with the country. Either way, at least there's a chance for change here, where with McCain, we were going to go the same way we've been going... which is a bad thing for those of you scoring at home.

Then there was Sarah Pailin... who just scared the shit out of me into almost full Obama support.

No argument there.

@seeds: Palin is scary, but I'd still pee in her butt. Let that be known.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Right, and McCain didn't have at least as many concessions.

Really, could you find anything more dull to argue over than who did better in the debates?

Well we're already a socialist country with all this bailout crap
