The 2008 US Presidential Election Thread

[RedWingFan]

Unless you and your cousins are planning on voting multiple times, don't hold your breath. Or on the other hand, go ahead..
... It only hurts for a short time, and then it's over.......

Don't worry, the left wing group ACORN has already assured that lots of voters have been registered several times so they can vote multiple times.

Don't worry that's 'alot' different than hanging chads, or disenfranchised seniors getting turned away at the polls.

Seriously, you see nothing wrong with changing election law prior to voting day from three displaced corners counting as a vote, and changing it to looking for a dimple or mark? That'd be like the Bills filing a suit with the NFL to have the goalposts widened by 5 ft after Norwood missed that kick in SB25. You see nothing wrong with that of course right?

How is that changing rules? Court cases are BASED on intent. If there is a dimple on a voting card, doesn't that tell you intent? How is that changing rules?

Because the rule at the time voting took place was 3 dislodged edges of a chad. That was the rule. The Florida state court changed it to try to get a different result.
Who's to say someone didn't put the pin in for a candidate and thought about punching it and decided not to? They tried to force that vote by assuming they intended to punch it, no?

I can't believe you are being so obtuse!

If there are no other marks on any other choice....but there is a dimple, or 1, 2, or 3 dislodged edges....that must've been the choice intended. Am I missing something here?!

Didn't Tim Robbins get in trouble for saying that to the Warden? Better watch it dude.

Love that movie. It's getting released on BluRay on Dec. 2nd and I'm buying. Best King movie ever!!!!

Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption was a short story.......the movie was more Durabont's, than King's....

[Rick]

I'm with you on what you say, I'm just not going to say anything about who's going to win because I'm a dyed in the wool jinx.

(Sam Kinnison) Say it!!!! SAY IT!!!!!!

That dude was off the chain.

[RedWingFan]

Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption was a short story.......the movie was more Durabont's, than King's....

Yeah, I know. I read it way before the movie came out. The book was confusing as hell to me because it was told in the 3rd person. The movie was pretty faithful to the book though. Robbins and Freeman were great though. Can't believe it was so overlooked because of that stupid Forrest Gump.

Fits perfectly with your political leanings.

Did he say that? I refused to sit through the stupid thing again.

No that is a Democrat specialty, as is evidenced by ACORN getting raided in some 13 states, with more to come in the next few days.

[S2M]

Problem with politicians is that they embrace the law only and when it benefits them.....at any other time they couldn't care less.

[Rick]

What a great thing that was. Aledo rocks. Thanks for posting this FF.

"I truly hope other countries do not judge all Americans by the lunatics in this clip"

it seems you judge a whole party on a few "lunatics".

Must be seen to be believed.

I haven't posted here in a very long time, and ordinarily this would be the last thread in which I would choose to post. I cannot, however, remain silent after viewing this despicable clip. I was perched on the fence until this evening - now my vote will most assuredly go to Obama/Biden. I truly hope other countries do not judge all Americans by the lunatics in this clip.

They will. The BBC has been interjecting the word Racism into most of its article this last week.

[conversationpc]

Hysterical.

OMG

Can't account for all the idiots in the world.

This is a testament to the uninformed electorate in this country. On both sides. (...."Obama is an Arab....")
Really really embarassing how dumb Americans can be
LOL

Reminds me of Jay Leno's bit where he asks questions that most Americans SHOULD know like "What countries border the U.S." and they answer stuff like "Ummm...China and Russia?".

Technically, Russia is a correct answer.

My intent was to show that Russia does not directly border the U.S. like Mexico & Canada do.

[treetopovskaya]

it's like the pot calling the kettle black.

here on this forum i have to say the dems take the cake when it comes to hatred.

uh, ya think? 1/2 the country is Republican so don't lump everyone together John

Wrong again. There are more Democrats than Republicans and that number is growing.

It sure is. The inner cities are getting filled with more and more trash. That's the democratic base. Always has been.

Right. Unlike the racist assholes that call themselves republicans.

Tinkerbell is back!!!

Suck my dick. Oh wait, you're a republican, you'd probably like it, then bitch about it.

Nah, Democrats are nowhere near as hateful or nasty as Republicans are.

The Dems have been just as bad. Obama, in fact, attended a rally at the Daily Kos convention. The Daily Kos regularly has the nastiest stuff ever posted there.

But you can see it from Sarah's house. Just a band of water between Alaska and Russia, dear.

Nope, none there....
But when Alaskans wake up they go outside to see if there are any Russians outside, and if there are, they tell them, SHOO......

Another McCain rally

[treetopovskaya]

BULL TO THE SHIT!!!

where is the proof?

TNC will find it. I saw it as well on many sites. Cindy almost walked off the campaign. He did call her a ****.

It comes from Cliff Schecter's book...but no one else is rushing to back the asshat up.

Come off it Dean...if you want to hold the moral high ground and say people shouldn't be taking it to Obama the way they are then you have to say the same about when they take it to McCain.

I am not taking anything to McCain. Don't need to! He called his OWN WIFE the c word. he is doing enough damage for Obama not to even mention his name!

[The_Noble_Cause]

What message board doesn't, Dave?
Please don't fall for O'Reilly's spin about that.
I don't even read the KOS.

[Rick]

Come on November 5th. I can't wait for all of this shit to be over with.

[Rick]

Come on November 5th. I can't wait for all of this shit to be over with.

Grab some popcorn guy...21 days from tomorrow... 3 weeks exactly!

If there were any way, I'd like to just beam myself to the 5th. As with most of these elections, they just drag on and on.

It is weird though that he let himself be filmed here and than later tries to cover it up. I'm not so sure about this one being a republican.

http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=Bky2SGrmC ... re=related

[treetopovskaya]

you do realize anyone can attend these rallies... you do get that right?

that means these people could be dems just trying to smear the mccain/palin campaign. anyway... a few whack jobs don't speak for everyone... and if you or anyone else here or irl say they do you are no better. that's how i see it.

Oh boy, this is pretty ugly:
