I know these e-mails are in jest (sort of), but I have to say this one last thing before Election Day.

Regardless of what happens on Tuesday, if you truly, in your heart, believe this totally baseless nonsensical "Obama is a socialist" scare tactic, you're a ****ing dipshit moron assholeface and you're far too stupid to be engaging in political discussion. There's criticism and then there's complete and utter hysteria.

That's it. I'm done. Carry on giving inexplicable credence to the ignorant hate monger du jour (J the P, Palin, etc.).

you're right. the sky is falling mentality from either side, when talking about the opposition, is absolutely ridiculous.
and i also saw a headline yesterday that said 23% of texans think obama is a muslim. those emails can be so attractive to some.

They're having a field day with this birth certificate nonsense.

I used to have a lot of respect for McCain. What we've seen out of him in the last few weeks has been disgraceful at best.

I'm a lurker on PA because I'd probably get tossed by that pschotic moderator if I ever posted, but that is truly a scary place. I don't mind hearing the other view points and arguing a bit, but man...those guys make Rush Limbaugh look like Jimmy Carter.

He's trying to pick out n' collect the white trash( just like kids gunna be isolating chocolate from hard candy, tonite.) His campaign is counting on there being a lot of white trash in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

i read about the birth certificate conspiracy a few weeks ago--apparently a guy even filed suit over it...ridiculous!

geeker2 · #8 10-31-2008, 02:02 PM

Geeez..let's not forget the radical left (that would be msnbc) was claiming that McCain could not be President for a similar reason.

KOOKS on all sides!

like bob, i lurk there all the time.

the limbaugh dittoheads only want to chatter among themselves.

that's okay with me. the more they reinforce each other's retarded opinions, the less likely they ever come up with anything that connects outside the looney bin.

Haven't heard much about the candidates taste in music, but unnamed sources say Sarah has a favorite music video:

O.K., here's some comedy for the Conservatives on here. This is from OBA himself. He writes me all the time.

"I want you to be there with me on Election Night when the results come in.

We're planning a big event that will include tens of thousands of supporters in Grant Park in downtown Chicago.

We're saving some of the best seats in the house for 5 people who have given to the campaign before -- and who decide to make a donation one last time before Sunday at midnight.

If you're selected, you can bring a guest, and we'll fly you in and put you up in a hotel for the night. You'll go backstage at the big event and -- no matter what happens -- you'll have a front row seat to history as we celebrate the supporters who got us over the finish line.

Any donation counts -- whatever you can afford. Show your support at this crucial time with a donation of $25 or more, and you could join me on Election Night:" -OBA

Never talk politics with friends or relatives. Why can't we all just get along?

what caused you to lose respect for McCain? he has said nothing about BO's birth certificate authenticity.

The fact that he's more interested in trying to disparage Obama, instead of convincing people why he should be president?

He, and the rest of his supporters have completely lost it. I can understand desperation, but come on already.

I think he tolerates nutjobs way too much. This plumber guy said a vote for Obama would be a vote for the the end of Israel. After that, how can Johnboy put that guy at the podium of his rally? That's bizarre.

But Johnboy said that the Plumber is his role model. This is like 2 days after the Plumber said a vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Israel.

I think part of the problem is people disagree about exactly what being socialist, or having a socialist government, actually is.

So what do you call the latest Government financial intervention?
What do you call the IMF?
What do you call the FDIC?

What do you call Government's heavily subsidizing people building right on Fault lines and on hurricane coasts?

What do you call the government subsidizing health care?
What do you call Social Security?

Help me out here.

These three were responses to problems that pure capitalism caused. You can not show me a country where pure capitalism ever worked. It has the same flaws that show up each time it is tried. The only thing that will ever work is the right amount of capitalism mixed with the right amount of shared risk and responsibility(Socialism.) For instance, any road that you drive on (without paying a toll for) is a bit of Socialism. The fire department is a bit of shared risk(Socialism.) Our National Defense is a form of shared risk(Socialism.) When these hillbillies get their trailers destroyed by twisters, what happens? They take the Gov't aid they would have surely voted against ever being available to anyone. That is a form of shared risk in response to a natural tragedy. All these things you despise came about because your way was tried, and it failed. With Pure Capitalism, one of the givens is that there will always be severe poverty. Try it. You will see. I will win the bet. We have had some level of Socialism for a quite some time. We are brainwashed to say we don't, but we do. We are civilized because of it.
