This may seem odd coming from someone as conservative as me, but after just watching the debate I think it is clear that McCain has dug himself to deep a hole, and now...he cannot dig himself out of it, so Ladies and Gentlemen it is to my deep regret that I announce the next President of the United States Barack Obama.
Obama was not great, but McCain wasn't any better, and honestly Tom Brokaw screwed the whole town hall setting up, and asked them questions that we knew the answers to. The two best questions were: "What would you do if Israel was attacked by Iran," and "What don't you know, or still need to learn?" The rest of the questions were like turning on broken record players. It was the same shit from both sides. Obama saying : McCain and President Bush...and McCain saying: "government spending, and Senator Obama doesn't understand."
I think Obama will do bad things for this country, but hopefully he won't fuck it up too bad.
I'm still going to the McCain headquarters this weekend to make calls to try and get people to vote, because it is serving a cause greater than myself...actually I just want community service...
What did you think?
Might as well inagurate Obama right now....
i agree with the town hall thing being screwed up. same ol' same ol. didnt learn anything new. I support Obama and I started feeling ashamed at some of his shots at McCain. No really good question. a bunch of non sequitors from mccain as well. obama's definitely going to be the next president, but i really hope he knows what he's doing, not just what he's saying.
I'm still waiting for the American people to wake up and say enough is enough.
How anyone can vote for one of these two clowns without feeling a sense of shame and/or guilt is beyond me.
It's a sad truth, but it does look like Obama has the upper hand in this election. Like you said, we can only hope now that he actually knows what he's doing and won't screw us over too bad. But who knows, maybe he will turn out to be an amazing president, and if he does, I can accept that.
"I'm still waiting for the American people to wake up and say enough is enough.Agreed, its even worse that some people in America still think their nation is a democracy.

wow the best question was "what would you do if iran attacked isreal?" are you serious. Isreal is one of our greatest allies. tell me, why wouldn't we help them?
"wow the best question was "what would you do if iran attacked isreal?" are you serious. Isreal is one of our greatest allies. tell me, why wouldn't we help them?"Because they deserve to get their ass kicked for unlawfully occupying a country that is not theirs?
"lamegame621 said:Sadly yes, America is a theocracy - the fact that the religion of the potential POTUS is even asked is disgraceful - the fact that it makes a difference to how people will vote is beyond a joke"i dont understand why we're loyally attached to Israel as a nation. Whatever, i guess."One word:
Christianity
(no not looking to start a fight. It's just a fact)"
"fresh2deafbill said:You mean the tracts of land seceded to a people who don't belong in a nation who just keep grabbing at more of what Israel didn't have to give them?"wow the best question was "what would you do if iran attacked isreal?" are you serious.

"This is generally considered a games website.You still didnt answer my question and even hid my post because you had no reply to it. Yes this is a games site, but this thread is unrelated again. So please, tell me which aspect of my post you thought was ridiculous and was a conspiracy, im still waiting.
Look at your most recent posts, It's all conspiracy theories and things about the government.

"wow the best question was "what would you do if iran attacked isreal?" are you serious. Isreal is one of our greatest allies. tell me, why wouldn't we help them?"Oh Christ, Israel is youe best ally? The best way i would describe those criminals is vampires. Israel leeches off the United States people, The US sends billions and billions of dollar in "aid" to help the Jews cleanse the Gaza strip and kill innocent Palestinians. You cant be serious...
Unfortunately the US-Zionist lobby doesnt have a choice but to help them...

You dont find no coincidences with whats happening right now and increased flow of money to Israel?
"No. Then again, you're just pointing at numbers to try and prove your (incorrect) point, so I don't know what you're trying to prove exactly. Once again, you know jack shit about Israel, and have no idea what you're talking about, so instead of making a fool of yourself I would just back off.You dont find no coincidences with whats happening right now and increased flow of money to Israel?"
you cannot really fuck the country up more then Bush did, right when it starts going to hell bush checks out!
"serbsta said:Lmao, calm the fuck down... dude, i think you need a nice long day at the spa.

We urge you to take immediate action to end U.S. support of Israel's unlawful policies. According to an investigative report by the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz, based on government ministry budgets, Israel spends about NIS 2.5 billion a year ($550 million) for the non-military aspects of settlement maintenance and expansion. Furthermore, the Knesset has projected that Israel will spend about $3.4 billion in total on construction of the wall, 80% of which is inside the occupied West Bank.
I dont get what else about my post was completely false. I know im not providing enough proof here by the way, just trying to explain what im thinking.
"serbsta said:Ok ive stated everything that i think 'i know' up until know, tell me what you know about this and how it goes against my WHOLE statement i made earlier.

"Really? Wow, ok then since im completely wrong i would honestly like to hear at least a bit about your experiences, that would be pretty interesting."Which ones? Getting rocks thrown at my head, getting shot at (that only happened once), or being thrown out of restaurants and shops and menaced in streets. Both sides did that to me, personally. I may be more partial to the Israelis, but the monkeys from both sides fling the same shit, although most of the people who do that are in the minority. The thing that disturbs me about the Palestinian ideology is that they don't want to accept that they can live in "their" country although it won't be called Palestine, even though plenty of them do already. Most of the time, when it came to conflicts not involving myself, the Palestinians instigated (wrongly), and the Israelis responded waaay too harshly (wrongly). Basically, it's not something anywhere near as clear cut as "Israel is totally killin the Palestinians" or anything close to that.
That's a general synopsis of what I think you were looking for in terms of information, although I'm trying to watch Futurama as I write this, so I'm not really paying attention to how well it's written.

Get a clue, then come back to the forums, thank-you."No nation which is run on a monetary based system can ever be a democracy, you can say what you want.
