The US Presidential Race.
The Primaries are over! New thread :D
Obama v. McCain I have a fairly positive outlook on the race. But as many have said, this is the US and there is that sinking feeling that reminds me of 4 years ago. "The hard work starts here for Obama if he is to win" http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisf...selections2008 |

The Obama camp has set up a site to bring the truth about the lies the righ wing media and the republican party are spreading.

Landslide to Obama IMO. He will out organise him as he did Hillary. And the people are simply tired of bad news. /2¢

Oh I very well hope so. I can't remember the exact figures, but I know McCain has about 48 million to spend. Obama is up there in the 100's of millions.
I'm skeptical until Barack walks into that oval office. |

Obama is going to have to fight hard, and I think his first step is picking a running mate.
The republicans aren't going to have to work that hard to sledge him. They will keep calling him a terrorist, and in the hick towns, they will have people who keep raising he is black. And all of a sudden they have caught the attention of half of America. |

Make no mistake, barring some dodgy diebold shenanigans, Obama will be the next POTUS.

Obama needs some concrete policies, rather than just ranting change, being smart, a good orator, and being black (even though those four things should still be sufficient for people to vote for him instead of McCain).

Mate, feed, kill, repeat

Unless he is exposed as a nazi-terrorist-sex offender swamp monster from outer space at the last minute.
IT COULD HAPPEN |

It'll go down like this:
-terror attack -Obama was brought up as a muslim slimes -scared shitless yanks attach themselves to the nearest rabbid warmonger vowing to protect them -world shakes head |

obama may be able to beat hillary-
but no-one can beat an entrenched elite, and a system of 'checks &balances' designed to maintain the status-quo. stop expecting change to come from amerika.

Because that's the thing. If America was some tinpot dictatorship, it wouldn't be a big deal to have it run by religious loonies. Hell, you can call that the middle east (including Israel). But this is America. By far the most important country in the world (for now at least, and hopefully the foreseeable future, can only shudder at China). And it's held hostage by complete idiots, who don't even follow jesus, but claim they do it all in his name. You have to laugh to not cry. Because they're responsible for so many deaths. Both caused by their wars, and preventable deaths that wouldn't have happened if they wished to stop it. Shakespeare couldn't have come up with a better tragedy. He couldn't have come up with a better comedy either if a black man takes power with a democratic senate and house. I just really really fucking hate those cunts. Rich people who vote republican. Fine. Fair enough. But poor people, who should by all reasons vote democrat, who simply vote republican because they don't like gays, well they can burn in hell. And they will if the bible is real. Jesus don't like haters. edit:I've had a few after work as you can likely tell. But i'm gonna continue my rant. Because it's so unfathomable. I mean, how much of the new testament is about gays and abortion? Gays -, maybe 2 sections? Briefly. Abortion? None I think? Guess it comes under murder. But even that isn't covered much. It's all about love, forgiveness and acceptance. I'm not religious, but jesus was a cool dude. He's a person to aspire to be, turn the other cheek, make the freaks accepted, throw out the bankers, love they brother. The guy has some good ideas. Maybe if they were turned into a book and used for good things wouldn't be so shit. Oh wait, it was. And we corrupted it just like every other fucking thing. If by some slim chance, he really is the son of god and he's watching us currently. Not only would he support Obama. I can only imagine his disgust at the amount of fucked up shit is said in his name. Last edited by JP : 18th June 2008 at 19:21. |

What's that you say? Obama voted IN FAVOUR of the FISA Bill?
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OK, it was fun while it lasted... looks like he's just another politician. |

What, a slow news day? US Intelligence estimate says Iran is not likely to have nuclear weapon any time soon. So Iran isn't really as pressing an issue as, say, I don't know, let's take a wild guess, IRAQ.
Another smokes and mirrors to scare middle America to submission? |
