The 2008 US Presidential Election Thread

[Trailblazer]

Poor Trailblazer; the minute you posted that you were going to vote for Obama, you came into the cross-hairs of all the mean-spirited conservatives on this board.

Not a problem, friend. Although it did remind me why I don't come here anymore!

"because of the hateful insensitive thing that was said in direct relation to my life and the few attacks that were personal and insulting."

sympathize with palin? why?

for real? have i been hateful? insensitive? forgive me, but she is running for public office and has put herself in the position to be vetted- fully. she has lied, she is indirectly inciting hatred towards barack obama and i just don't see her as an advocate for children with special needs when she slices the state budget for the special olympics. if that is hateful to you i apologize, it is not my intent. just when someone is a public servant their life/policy becomes public knowledge and is therefore up for scrutiny.

michelle obama was asked what she thought of the mccain rallies... she replied that she doesn't watch those... that they need to remain focused on their campaign & issues. EXACTY! so why the hell do people expect mccain to stop & address these idiots? he did btw.

When you two dopes are done feeling sorry for yourselves shoot me a PM. I'm too nauseated right now to stay in this thread. All of this vomit inducing self-victimization is grotesque. Call Obama. Maybe he'll send you a check for getting picked on. Pussies.

Hey! Men have feelings, too!

[fredinator]

Why in the world would this "pussy" shoot you a PM? In that one sentence, you called me a pussy, dope and victim, you overwrought, verbal gatling gun shooter, unsympathetic, cold-hearted, too-tall Greek, lol.

Showing some backbone. Better.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Regardless of who wins I'll be fine. There's no substitute for hard work and Republicans thrive with either party in office. It just kills me to see the rich get penalized for being successful. I bet Barack Osama (yes, that was intentional) jacks their rate back up to 39%, which is just fucking criminal. And I don't want butt-fuckers getting married and fags adopting kids.

DAN, read your own little sig thing.

no no no... not you lula... maybe dean... with the name calling. for sure the media.

fine... don't like the woman but the personal attacks go too far... especially when it's geared towards her children.

palin or her family do not post here, the remark about baby palin having down syndrome will not hit them, however

To hell with everyone else I guess.

Dan, I don't disagree with your beliefs. But the U.S. will have the lowest tax rate for the top 5% earners than the rest of the world, and it will still be lower than it was under Reagan.

[fredinator]

Leave Lula alone, RWF. You're just mean.

I couldn't agree more...I have a special needs child, as well.

So, in keeping with that spirit, it's only fair to ask the Right to stop slandering Obama. Also, toning down the racism and assassination plots at McCain rallies would help the Republican cause, too.

[fredinator]

There are lots of posters on here with special needs children.

DAN, read your own little sig thing.

I don't hate anyone.

Thanks girls. Appointment is 7am this morning. I've been trying to prepare myself for the worst case scenario since we first got the ankle issue diagnosis during his 6 month ultrasound. Been almost 2 years and I don't think I'm there yet. The doc says they can save his foot. They'd just have to fuse his foot to his tibia. But that would leave him w/ zero movement of his ankle. Could cause future knee and hip problems, and would require multiple lengthening surgeries on his tibia regardless.

Regardless, 39% is just absurd.

OMG, RWF. I had no idea.

God bless your little one, you, and your family. I will be awake long before 7:00 am and he will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry.

Thanks man. I know there are people a lot worse off than we are. We're blessed it's only his ankle. As we were leaving the hospital the last time. We were walking past the same prep room where they gave my son the gas to put him to sleep for his MRI. We overheard 2 doctors saying "another infant, brain scan, looking for tumors." It was really an eye-opener.

What a cutie! It is nice to have a face to put with the prayers. Will be keeping all of this in prayer as well as your whole family.

Hang in there.

Your little boy (as well as you and your wife) is in my thoughts and prayers this morning, RWF.

Prayers and good wishes to you for your son.
