Yanks only: Who are you voting for on Tuesday?

[AchrisK]

Lemme guess, you would have supported a "do nothing" approach

It just kinda sucks that responsible people like myself who bought a house I could afford has to pay for unwise people who bought beyond their means. But I guess that's the new world order. Take from the "rich" and give to the "poor".

Nice outcome. Congrats to America (and the world) that Sarah Palin can now go and crawl back under the rock from whence she came.

She'll be back!

Did I just read that?

Please tell me you don't think that's what the bailout boils down to.

She's not going to crawl back under anything for a while. Sorry for your luck.

I think she's running for Prez in 2012

Nah, the bailout is actually good in a sense because people will finally learn how to save money and NOT PUT ALL THEIR EGGS IN ONE BASKET FUCKING MORONS

 

[seedofvengeance]

Yeah.. that'll work.
@Pailin running for prez.

 

[Satanstoenail]

Except ur bedsheets amirite

Sorry for your luck.

She will lose.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Yeah, I'm sure the Dems would be happy with her running for President as much as she wants.

 

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

She'll get fucking massacred coming off this presidency tbh.

Well, it's US who is paying this bailout money, right? Taxpayers. I know I heard about plans to rescue all kinds of homeowners who might loose the houses they bought but couldn't afford. I will not be be receiving any assistance in that regard. I know that isn't all it is limited to.

 

[Cythraul]

Y'know, if there is going to be stuff like income taxes and 'redistribution of wealth' and whatnot I'd rather it benefit people who actually need it. The funny thing about a lot of modern "conservatives" is they talk a good game about small government to drum up support but then conveniently forget about it when it suits their agenda, e.g. when it suits their chickenhawk foreign policy agenda, pork barrel spending, multi-billion dollar bailouts, and violations of basic civil liberties. Fuck them. They can take their "conservative" ideals and shove them up their asses.

edit: And I'm glad that I can look forward to at least four years of not having to listen to that cunt Sarah Palin spew anymore horseshit.

I'm pretty sure the main idea behind the bailout was getting banks to continue making loans so that we don't see nearly every fucking business in the country grind to a halt. Which is kinda important.

Taxpayers get screwed either way, but the amount of assraping that would occur from businesses not being able to get loans most likely outweighs whatever tax money is going into the bailout.

It's not the method of execution that is staggeringly expensive. It's the appeals process that raises costs. Even those convicted of a capital crime have the right to appeal the decision. The appeals process makes certain that innocent people aren't executed. Without this process we would see an increasing number of innocent people convicted and executed for crimes they didn't commit.

Exactly... but anyways even though the Appeals process is suppose to prevent any innocent person from wrongly getting the Death Penalty.. i believe some throughout the Death Penalty's history have been wrongly convicted and executed.. and some probably are sitting on Death Row right now totally innocent... alot of them? Probably not... but 1 innocent person executed or awaiting execution is 1 too many... the Death Penalty allows too much for human error... at least life imprisonment gives an innocent person a chance... this more then anything else imo is more then enough reason to abolish the Death Penalty...

As for Vihris, Cythraul and others who addressed me... I been out all day working and came home to vote and only just now read the responses... Doden, Cookie and others pretty much said what I would of said so no need for me to repeat their words... I will say :

"It's better that 10 guilty men go free then 1 innocent man be wrongly convicted (and executed)"

Oops there goes those cute slogans of mine again...

 

[seedofvengeance]

Cythraul, you're striving to new heights on the awesome scale... the fish and now this.

Obama's speech was quite spectacular. The end of that speech about progress was quite moving. Considering he didn't release the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, I'm starting to feel even better about this.

Agreed totally on your whole statement...

plz?

 

[Hubster]

Okay we were lagged... McCain just got dry raped and Obama's victory speech was fucking awesome.

 

[AchrisK]

"It's better that 10 guilty men go free then 1 innocent man be wrongly convicted (and executed)"

...and if those 10 guilty men go kill more innocent people, what does the equation say?

I'm not trying to argue, just saying...

 

[Alter]

Obama won. Oh, yesh.

 

[Valerie]

Obama won. Oh, yesh.

Let's celebrate by getting shitfaced and listening to Interpol.
