The 2008 US Presidential Election Thread

hockey rules! the coolest game on earth! }=C))

I just watched Francona piss away the Sox' season by bringing in that 57-year-old loser knucklehead Timlin to lose the game against the Rays (nice ball-strike calls, BTW, umps - do you do Bar Mitzvahs too?). There was hockey tonight?

Listen up Sir 7 she knows what she speaks of.
I'll bury these political threads yet I will.

[7 Wishes]

I LOVE hockey.

I just don't watch it when the Sox are still alive.

Francona took care of that tonight, though.

I love those throngs of cheering Devil Rays' "fans".

WHERE THE HELL were they LAST YEAR when they drew 4,200 a game? There's only one thing worse than a bandwagon fan, and that's a Philly fan.

palin was not the one who wrote the program. it's been in effect since 1915, and is voted on every 2 years. alaskans just renewed the program for another 2 years. as governor she is supposed to approve what the voters want. remember this is not a complete extinction of wolves, it is a controlling of the population by a select number of hunters. the $150 bounty is to offset fuel costs of the hunters, and was suspended last year.

nothing in there about paws.

I found this article on the web. To be fair, it's probably slanted like everything else is. It's virtually impossible to read anything objective, about politics, ANYWHERE. I will say this...If there is a shred of truth to this, Palin is one sick fucking broad! Even if she's killing small kittens, that's not the reason I loathe her. She's simply incompetent and too stupid to be in politics. Considering that politicians aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, it's a sad commentary that Puppet Palin doesn't have the intellect to put a single, independent thought together!

Palin expanded the program to reward untrained citizens for killing wolves. She offered a $150 incentive in taxpayer money to hunters who, after they'd killed a wolf, hacked off the front left leg of the animal as proof. Yes, you read that right. The aerial shooters land their planes and helicopters, walk up to the wolves and hack off the front left paw to receive $150 in taxpayer money for each one turned in!

Okay, I came across another story about the wolf bounty. I suspect this story actually is true. This article was published in early 2007...long before anyone outside of Alaska even knew who Palin was!

live from melodicrock... it's saturday night! }:CP

what are we all doing here anyway?

*stamps L's on everyone's forehead*

}L:C)

Sadly, it's now Sunday and guess who's still here? Oh well, this weekend hasn't been a total loss. Woke up at 7am to feed and poop the dog, then walked 12 miles. Later I'll clean my apartment, watch a load of movies, eat lunch and walk four more miles. In between, I'll gab online with my girlfriends and eat dinner. Round about 9pm I'll have my it's almost Monday gotta go to work panic attack.... HAPPY SUNDAY ALLL!!

[Enigma869]

Woke up at 7am, then walked 12 miles.

Holy shit! I don't like to drive 12 miles And did I read that correctly...you're actually going to walk another 4 miles? Who walks 16 miles in one day? I don't think a mailman even comes close to half of that. You must be in the best shape of any human being on the planet! How long does it take to walk 12 miles, just in case I ever decide to buy a new pair of sneakers, and sell the car

2 and a half to 3 hours. Yep, I walked 12 miles. Where I live there's several great walking neighborhoods close by. I workout anywhere from 5 to 7 days a week. With the cost of gas and such I tend to stay home weekends. Can't watch TV all the time, so I turn on my MP3 player and go.

I meant to say I took the dog out to poo. I dog and house sit for people.

Hey, you'd be amazed at the amount of weight you can lose just from walkng. I've lost 30 pounds in the past 6 months. I do lots of of cardio and some weights.

Well, a couple of points here...First and foremost, I would expect any human being walking 16 miles in a week (let alone in one day) would shred a ton of weight! Hell, you could be on a diet of nothing but Crisco, and still lose the lbs. walking that much As for me, I think I like Oreos too much, and football even more, to be motivated to get off my duff and go walk three towns away from where I live

Yeah, she's a horror. Wolf in she's clothing. Yuck.

Just heard she got boo'd at a sports arena today. Deserves it. Slimebucket, classless. and out of her league. So glad so few people can't see through the lowlife tactics of the Republican ticket.

And Palin can return to her backwoods hole-in-the-wall where killing is sport.

Thank goodness just a few more weeks and she'll be GONE!!

[Saint John]

Hey, you'd be amazed at the amount of weight you can lose just from walkng.

Yeah...none.

You can also lose a lot of weight by eating right...know what I mean?

[7 Wishes]

It would appear her popularity is waning somewhat.

I take back everything I've said about Philly fans. I love you all, and I hope the Phillies win (as long as they're not playing the Sox).

You're calling her classless and then you say things like the above? Unbelievable.

Yeah, I thought "classless" was exceedingly mild.
Guess you'd rather comment on me than on the election???

[Lula]

i think some people are scared it's going to be mccain/palin! the more scared they get the nastier they get. not only that but obama is not killing them in the polls... no "landslide" & that just pisses people off! woohoo! }=C))

Hi Wendy, I am back from my trip. Just to let you know in politics, a 7,9, 11 point lead, as are being shown, is in fact a blowout, rout, landslide whatever you want to call it. It is a slaughter and will only get worse.

you know what... palin is just a normal person... not perfect. i don't agree with everything she stands for but i find her a breath of fresh air & the gal has some balls. if i were her i think i would have packed it in already. you would find me in a corner crying somewhere. she is tough!

She is a filthy conniving lying bitch. The facts and history back that up. McCain picked her for one reason, Wendy. A gimmick to upstage Obama's momentum coming out of Denver and the fact she has a Y chromosome. Come on now, you have to know this. You cannot really think the old Man even vetted her more than 30 minutes...he looked at her, saw the "R" next to her name and said, "ok."

nobody's talking about palin guest starring on snl at the end of the month. }:C)

I would rather see Tina Fey as Sarah Palin than Sarah Palin. I would vote for Fey before I would Pailn.

[Lula]

Ol Sarah aint too bright. Had that idiot walked out there in a Flyers Jersey, they may not have bood so loudly.

I love the Flyers and Philly fans. I love how Sarah Palin drops the puck on a new season in Philly, and the Rangers go out drop 4 goals on the Flyers in the 1st period. Nice move there Philadelphia.

[peridactyl]

Love this::

[scarygirl]

Hey, you'd be amazed at the amount of weight you can lose just from walkng.

I weigh about ten pounds less than I did in charlotte. You can lose weight walking, but you need to do strength training too.

Ummm...You called her a "horror", "wolf in she's clothing" and where she's from is apparently a "backwoods hole-in-the-wall.

HEY, class has never been the language or concern of the Right during the past years of Republican domination, Hannitization--could anyone be any more stupid, and did you see him fawn over Palin like he couldn't wait to lick her face??????---,
Rush Limbaugh vilification and all things ugly (I mean, Fox News, REALLY, is a complete JOKE!)

Liberals have been putting up with unremitting exaggeration and scapegoating for YEARS.
Now it will be eight years of Democratic rule, and I hate to tell you but Liberal revenge may be uncomfortable.... It's not the usual liberal tendency ( kumbayah) and Obama is too good (and smart) a man to voice the pent-up anger engendered by the nastiness of the Right over so many years, but I don't mind...

sorry if it is uncomfortable....(oops, my liberal niceness leaking out...)

[conversationpc]

She is a filthy conniving lying bitch. The facts and history back that up.

I could just swear that you're talking about Hillary.
