Evilbore's Presidential Election Thread --Its the Final COUNTDOWN Ba da ba baaaa

Just read Ganhyun's follow-up to that, which I might have to nominate for the most, um, Advertently Revealing Post.

yesterday, an suv passed me on the highway.  in its rear window was painted "NO!bama.  dim-wits!"  encircled in mccain stickers.

i lol'd but since i was driving i couldn't get a pic

[TakingBackSunday]

After coming back from Burn After Reading, my friend and I were behind this Lexus that had, like everything you could think of for a bumper sticker.

Nobama
McCain 08
Drill ANWR
"I'd rather keep my money, thanks!"
"Jesus isn't black" <----I shit you not.

[Eric P]

bumper stickers on a lexus?

that's cheesy.

[Ganhyun]

Obama's career preceding joining the Senate was very different from Palin's.  Looking at it as two years as a governor vs two years as a senator is just dumb.

community organizer. So much more experience.

 

That was in the 80s dipfuck, he followed that up with being a Constitutional law professor, civil rights attorney, and more importantly, 7 years as a state congressman.

Also, Palin's problem isn't experience, it's qualification. SHE DOESN'T KNOW SHIT. Reading Obama's 4 year old book is enough to demonstrate how intelligent and knowledgeable and QUALIFIED he is, Palin can't string a sentence together about our country's most vague issues.

Also, sinc when is the life of service of a community organizer not something to be respected? Isn't the existence of these sorts of people required under the hands-off Republican style of government? Aren't they America's heroes, and teen preggers the villains?

Hmm, way to not keep reading the thread and see my next post where I admit that both sides used this trick on each other. Also, I myself never said I was against community organizations, in fact I believe I admitted backing them? Way to read fucktwit.

Edit: My post:

But I agree, community fundraisers-etc are good things and shouldn't be attacked.

[Ganhyun]

Those two votes I disagree with. Parents should know if little Suzie is knocked up and trying to get out of it.

I would like to submit this entry for Most Inadvertently Revealing Statement by a Conservative for the month of September.

so what am I inadvertantly revealing here? I'd like to know, lol.

Edit nm.

mandark is strongly against the mixing of the sentences.

he's a good old fashion noun verb guy.

if you mix the sentences you get inbreeding so you'll get things like fragments or even worse...run ons.

now you'll see some people say that those are ok.  that there's nothing wrong with "alternative" sentence structure.  however, they know in their hearts that just isn't the truth.  and sometimes, just sometimes, it can even kill a man.

like david foster wallace.  pride of the "sentence mixers" who hung himself this past week.

tragic, i know.  but i think everyone in this thread knows he'd be alive today if he would have just kept his sentences pure and american.

Alrighty... Universal Healthcare. The repubs I talk to (and even some centrist Democrats) are all opposed to this... saying stuff like "it failed in Britain, people are waiting on lines for months just to be treated"... blah blah. I like the sound of UHC but I am hoping it won't be pie-in-the-sky dreaming and will hurt someone like me (employed upper middle class).

[Eric P]

i like universal health care you can opt out of or the possibility of tiered coverage based on the desired amount you want to put in but at a base level provides coverage for everything to everyone.

paying for it is the trick, but really if what i've read about the widespread ability for corporations to not pay any taxes whatsoever is true, perhaps we should look into that.

also, capital gains tax and fuck yes to the estate tax.  death tax my ass.

[Beardo]

Universal healthcare is a joke. Would you let a company have a monopoly on it? Then why give the government a monopoly on it? "bububububut the government doesn't work for a profit, healthcare shouldn't be for a profit!!!!!"

[Eric P]

democratic govts are designed to act in the people's best interests
for-profit companies are designed to act in the company's interests

[Van Cruncheon]

more specifically, in the shareholders' single-minded interests

"increased profits" has never translated into "a healthy, long-lived public" -- EVER

[Beardo]

democratic govts are designed to act in the people's best interests
for-profit companies are designed to act in the company's interests

North Korea is called "Democratic People's Republic of Korea," Do they act in the people's best interest? An exaggeration for sure, but my point is that they do not always act in the people's best interest. What about the war in Iraq that the left hates so much. I could argue that the war was in your best interest because our president was elected!


On the other hand, if you have private healthcare you have a choice. Dont like company X? Move you company Y? I know that taking some responsible for yourself is hard for most liberals, but it's in your own interest.

And why are profits a dirty word? Profits mean a company is doing something that the public approves of. Of corse a company will do what's in their own interest everyone does. Thats human nature.

"increased profits" has never translated into "a healthy, long-lived public" -- EVER"

So your business strategy is to not increase profits? Interesting idea. I'll email my business professor and see what he thinks about it.

[Van Cruncheon]

you DO understand that eric p said "designed", not "implemented".

private healthcare doesn't work if people can't afford it. government healthcare redistributes the cost to the wealthy, which is awesome -- the rich can easily afford to support society with little or no impact to their manner of living.

no, profits mean the company is doing something the shareholders' largely approve of. note that the shareholders are a very tiny segment of the public, and even then, many disapprove if the price is environmental damage or the exploitation of workers.

republicans: so very dumb

Do you buy gas? If yes than you are supporting their product. Ohhhhhh how evil of Exxon to want to sell you something. Perhaps you should move to Venezuela where Chavez can give it to you. Isnt that what you liberals want? Free shit from the government.

The only people who cant afford healthcare are poor people who dont work hard enough.

Your are wrong. If company X is making money someone has to be giving it to them. That means that their product has been approved by he buyer. A company cannot stay in business unless they have enough support i.e. buyers.

[TakingBackSunday]

I honestly can't believe such arrogance and stupidity exists in this country.

How the fuck am I supposed to get where I need to be with my car without buying gas?  I have no other alternative: I have to drive to my hometown almost every single weekend.  Try that on a bike.  Or walking.  Or cut off your dick, I don't care.

We buy the gas because we HAVE to buy gas, not because we approve of the "great business choices" they're making.  I honestly can't believe you said that, now I KNOW you're a fucking moron.

[Beardo]

I cannot understand why liberals complain about Gas prices. Go to liberal heaven (Europe) and see how much gas is there. We have it pretty darn good hear. Not to mention that most economists agree it was a fluke when gas was $.90 a gallon back in the late 90s.

[TakingBackSunday]

Republicans:  Fuck your complaining, it's all in your head!  See!  Gas prices are actually pretty good!

You are dumb, fact.

Gas is like any other commodity. You have to EARN it. I know its a foreign concept to people who think that Gas is some kind of right guaranteed to us.

Republicans:  Fuck your complaining, it's all in your head!  See!  Gas prices are actually pretty good!

Ok then what do you propose to do about gas prices? I cannot wait to hear this one.

[TakingBackSunday]

We earn it, but you know where that extra $2/gallon could go towards?  Food.  Or wait, nevermind, that's raised in price too.  How about health care.  OH WAIT

I'm not sure if "dumb" is the correct descriptor, but this need to rely on exaggeration is certainly entertaining, in a sitcom sort of way. And if exaggeration doesn't bite, try baseline mockery (irrespective of whether or not there is an actual base for mockery or not, or whether or not it could possibly be applied to the mocking party itself). Their "points" can't be reasonably validated, so fuck reason, and reasonable examples. The Playground argumentative and analytical system, a valid choice for political debate in 2008!

Either you happily pay exorbitant prices for gas, or you're a pinko.


Cameras will be placed at all pumps to check for smiles; a good declaration of, "Boy, paying for this feels good, I earned this money!" is always helpful in speeding up the process.

When I was first hired it was less than 7, somewhere around 6.70 or something and this was in like November of last year and they didn't change it to 7 when the minimum went up until like June of this year.

Well, isn't that wrong? Why should the state regulate this? The private sector is supposedly fit to be trusted with supplying a good healthcare system, but it can't be trusted with regulating itself based on the peoples interest?

after his interview on The View and his people and vp being assailed on every network im sure its getting annoying. I especially get pissed when he blames his dirty campaign on obama for not wanting to do things his way. Town Hall is a horrible way to campaign since it does nothing but tie the hands of BOTH sides in terms of where they can appear.

Oh wait, your such a dumfuck distinguished mentally-challenged fellow that you can't undertsand that.
