Anubis the Jackal 77 Posted June 4, 2008 With heavy heart, I say McCain and a continuation of the Bushite dynasty. I just can't see enough change in grassroots attitudes towards non-white politicians. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TAFKAG 70 Posted June 4, 2008 The voters want change and a strong, authoritative leader. Given that the fuzzy-wuzzies and the ragheads don't like it up 'em, it's got to be Clive Dunn for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted June 4, 2008 McCain has to survive the whole campaign without saying something stupid. Frankly, I think he's just too much his own man to achieve that. I know it goes against much of what we enjoy here but I truly hope America elects a black man and he survives the whole campaign without a shot being fired.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted June 4, 2008 There are two sides to my view on politics. One side of me knows the crisis the United States is in and is fond of the solutions and the other realizes how deceptive some of these people voting are. I respect John McCain for his service and if you were locked up for "six years" by the Vietnamese, you would no doubt adapt to that "must win war" mentality, even if there really isn't a war going on. I try and see from where others stand and from where John McCain stands, I can see his deception. I really feel it's time for a Democrat to take office and wrap up our stay in Iraq. The dilution wealthy Republicans live "Example: He is 51 and she is 48" is "Wouldn't you rather have the war over there then over here? But that's bullshit. There isn't any war. The most pathetic part of it is most republicans "truly believe that" and believe it or not, that fear is McCains greatest weapon. Hypothetically Obama can say 'There is nothing to fear but fear itself" .. and that's why I don't think he will win. Some of us see "The Iraq Stay" as a barrier from terrorism (I hate that word) and I'm in doubt Obama will be able to knock down that view point. It's really comforting for the Republican who says "There isn't a draft?" "I'm safe from suicidal maniacs who die for their gods which are make believe" .. but do they ask themselves how much it costs to stay in Iraq?" No. Do they realize that Christian soldiers in the land of Allah makes young Islamic men go mad dog? No. Overall the Republican objective is to rebuild Iraq and I say "Don't paint the neighbors house when yours looks like sh*t!. All I have to say is expect high oil prices and jokes about cod fish which just aren't funny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dr Strangelove 14 Posted July 4, 2008 I've recently recieved the following email which I though I should share with you all: From: [Redacted]To: [Redacted] Subject: WHO IS BARACK OBAMA? There are many things people do not know about BARACK OBAMA. It is every American's duty to read this message and pass it along to all of their friends and loved ones. Barack Obama wears a FLAG PIN at all times. Even in the shower. Barack Obama says the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE every time he sees an American flag. He also ends every sentence by saying, "WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL." Click here for video of Obama quietly mouthing the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE in his sleep. A tape exists of Michelle Obama saying the PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE at a conference on PATRIOTISM. Every weekend, Barack and Michelle take their daughters HUNTING. Barack Obama is a PATRIOTIC AMERICAN. He has one HAND over his HEART at all times. He occasionally switches when one arm gets tired, which is almost never because he is STRONG. Barack Obama has the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE tattooed on his stomach. It's upside-down, so he can read it while doing sit-ups. There's only one artist on Barack Obama's iPod: FRANCIS SCOTT KEY. Barack Obama is a DEVOUT CHRISTIAN. His favorite book is the BIBLE, which he has memorized. His name means HE WHO LOVES JESUS in the ancient language of Aramaic. He is PROUD that Jesus was an American. Barack Obama goes to church every morning. He goes to church every afternoon. He goes to church every evening. He is IN CHURCH RIGHT NOW. Barack Obama's new airplane includes a conference room, a kitchen, and a MEGACHURCH. Barack Obama's skin is the color of AMERICAN SOIL. Barack Obama buys AMERICAN STUFF. He owns a FORD, a BASEBALL TEAM, and a COMPUTER HE BUILT HIMSELF FROM AMERICAN PARTS. He travels mostly by FORKLIFT. Barack Obama says that Americans cling to GUNS and RELIGION because they are AWESOME. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Madame Defarge 21 Posted July 4, 2008 Excellent, Dr. Strangelove, but how could they omit the little known fact that Obama was once a P.O.W. in Vietnam? All the more amazing because he was six years old at the time! While in Vietnam, his captors forced him to work outside from dawn til dusk. This resulted in a permanent tan, which led to the current rumour that he is African-American. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Strangelove 14 Posted July 5, 2008 Excellent, Dr. Strangelove, but how could they omit the little known fact that Obama was once a P.O.W. in Vietnam? ... Perhaps because he might be a Manchurian Candidate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted August 27, 2008 Not exactly hot off the presses, but allegedly Barack Obama was the target of a crack (well, amphetamines anyway) team of hillbilly wannabe assassins. Day of the Jackass The fact that one of 'em looks like Vanilla Ice, the second Cletus off of The Simpsons, and that the third, not pictured, had the last name "Adolph", suggests these may not have been the smoothest of operators.

maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted August 27, 2008 Given the mental agility of such race-hate morons I wouldn't be too worried about the security around Obama being able to stop them. But, on the subject of the next president the sheer presence of these morons does make it obvious that some racial tensions will kick off around the campaign, are probably local and disorganised. If I was black and living down the road from those idiots I'd be more worried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted August 27, 2008 Having lived in the US for many years it seems this whole "the election will be decided by race" issue is a little overblown. The vast majority of Americans who I know who will or won't vote for Obama will do so because he's a Democrat and all that comes with that (pro choice, pro gun control, make love not war, etc.), not because he's black. Sure, you get the crazies who won't vote for a black man no how no way, but they'd be unlikely to vote Democrat over Republican regardless. What would have been really interesting would have been if Colin Powell or Condi Rice had somehow been the Republican nominee. That would have caused some real consternation. And if Obama does get elected, here's predicting there is absolutely no chance he gets shot. Every trip, speech, appearance, vacation, etc. the Secret Service will have been there beforehand, and they already thought of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honez 79 Posted August 30, 2008 I was interested to read that Barack Obama used to go by "Barry" when he was a schoolboy in Indonesia. Story here. I quite like the thought that a Bazza might make US president. Should go well with Australia's Kev. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
