Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) Yes they do, at least the ones at the top of the party. Look at the tireless work of Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton after their administrations. These men (and thousands of staff/volunteers working with them) have dedicated their lives to improving the world. Are they rich? Yes, but that doesn't discredit all the good they've done.
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) What a big surprise, McCain is going to show up to the debates! I found it really awesome how almost every person that was involved with the "emergency meeting" yesterday said that John McCain almost didn't speak the entire time. Obama started it off and almost ended as well, but he decided to ask McCain what he thought. He said a few sentences that didn't make sense and that was that. It is very obvious to me that was nothing but a PR stunt. He wants it to seem like, look at me, I put "country first.". Bull shit, you put yourself first. I love that he suspended his campaign yet he was still doing multiple interviews, still taking donations and stuff running ads on tv. By suspending he just meant an attempt to get out of the first Presidential debate so he could have a few more days to try and brush up on economics. I had heard that people were urging McCain and Obama not to come because they didn't want the unneeded press coverage making it more stressful. Yet McCain insists he can make it better. The opinions are even more divided now!!! I truly hope he doesn't show tonight, that will be more landmark type shit.
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) Are the debates later today? ..and McCain's debate notes have been leaked http://www.236.com/blog/w/lee_camp/leaked_john_mccains_debate_rem_9143.php
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) Jack Cafferty Tells Us How He Really Feels About Sarah Palin video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8__aXxXPVc Jack is very cool and unafraid to speak the truth. He speaks his mind at the end and slaps down Wolfie who attempts to defend Palin...
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) Wow- he was dropping it like its hot! I was amazed that wolf tried to defend her a bit, I suspose he has to be the mutual voice though.
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) Except when he refers to the Chinese as "goons" and has to backtrack. ;p
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) The system definately is not set up for voting that way. If this fictitious bullshit of one party is better than the other is the illusion they want to pull to make the general population feel like they are on a "side" that is better than the other and shuts them up for realizing there vote will not make a fuck of a difference thats fantastic. As long as everyone is bickering and arguing over crap thats fine. Oh and "undecided" is the new black and they feel like they are the smartest most open people in the whole damn world beause they need to "get the facts" before making their decision of the two shit parties. You know what I want to be able to vote on, fucking going to war, a fucking government bail out, shit that fucking matters when it comes up. Give me a test of 100 questions that I have to get an 80% or better on to make sure I understand whats going on and soon as I pass let me go vote on the issue, no need for some dipshit to be in there voting on important shit just because they were popped out in a country. Not pre-determine that some fucktard is going to be able to make the right decision for everybody at the time of the crisis because he somehow has convinced me he is more experienced or because he is affiliated with the cool kid club I have associated myself with. Obama seems to be the more diplomatic of the two and McCain seemed very set in his ways and not open to a new way of thinking at all, unlike he has hinted at prior. At this point I am willing to risk everything and go with obama, whats the worse that can happen, he is going to make the tailspin we are in go faster, which why delay the inevitable, or he will pull us out of it. McCain is going to just keep riding that tailspin at this steady pace until we smash into rock bottom, telling us war stories the whole way down. I never thought I would say it but Obama made more sense to me.
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) LOVE IT!! That is a fantastic clip. Everyone with the SARAH! bumper stickers got to feel pretty dumb while watching that!
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) Still that was pretty minor compared to the bush doctorin fiasco. I stayed up to watch the first debate, thought it was pretty uneventful, like they said there was no knock out blow. I was expecting Obama to own him. Still it would seem the VP debates is gonna be the main event- should be a real blood bath. Infact it wouldnt susprise me if the people pulling the strings flare up some international crisis in the middle of next week to prevent another outing of the Palinstien monster.

Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) thursday night at 9 pm will be a trainwreck...i can't look away...
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) There is FAIL. And there is COMPLETE FAIL. This is COMPLETE FAIL: video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRkWebP2Q0Y
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) I like how McCain was 'escorting' her on the last interview I saw. Can't wait for Thurs. At her debate bootcamp, they have probably implanted remote controled electrodes in the pleasure & pain receptors in her brain. "OK, Sarah. We are going to ask you about fiscal responsibility again, and if you talk about excercising more often, we will zap you again."
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) I swear Sarah Palin can not answer a question. She sticks to the script. I'm curious. Do they even have internet in Alaska? They probably get yesterdays news. Alaska is such a secluded place. I think if the United States were to fail Alaska would still be okay. They're not dependent on us.
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) Christ that was painful to watch. She'd do herself some good just to stick to short responses or one word answers. She gets presented with a question, panics, then babbles. UNFIT!
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) She reads ALL of the magazines and newspapers! She is the most well read politician in the world, all must bow down to her vast knowledge on the topic of everything.
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) My favorite news outlet The Guardian had this to say about it: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/oliverb ... sarahpalin Pretty funny I thought.
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) id seen the other videos and interviews with her, you know "all of 'em" but that newspaper/magazine comment really... wow. pathetic. being that pathetic, its truly scary shes where she is.
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) She's in Alaska, which is as far away as you can get from New Jersey, which doesn't scare me one bit. ;p
Re: McCain picks Palin (and other election discussion) There a small party at my house actually for the debate. There are reasons to have a touch of fear on Palins answers, but Bidens mouth is full of verbal diarrhea just the same http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM19YOqs7hU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmRXH7RkCZQ Its gonna be some good TV!
