A homeless thug now registered to vote comments: “They picked me up. They seen me walkin’ around. So day said, ‘You wanna vote?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll vote.’ (laughs) Day said, ‘We’ll take you anywhere you want.’ I said, ‘Dat’s cool’…If day say ’sign the ballot,’ just give ‘em and do exactly what they want you to do.’ I mean, hey, dis is America, you know?”

is it "day" or "they"? make up yr racist little mind

I guess this is kind of the same thing as how I feel about wingnuts.

Except more racist.

ireland speaks english (sort of) and has a very low tax rate for businesses who locate there. london has a very low tax rate on financiers so when obama says you need to be taxed more, think london. oil industry executives, dubai has no tax if you locate there and obama wants to institute special taxes. leave hollywood and microsoft execs and google execs and george soros to pay for all the thug thizzle a body can stand.

^^ lol at this comment

"critically failing industry, move your businesses to another country and leave two less failing industries and a billionaire in this one"

lol @ GOP version of 'im moving to another country if x is elected'

Whoa, John McCain fanfic contest at barrylutz.com, whoa!

my mom says she's moving to the boonies of Ireland (verbatim) if Obama wins. Never mind she's never had a passport in her life nor has any documented work history since the eighties. I'm sure Ireland will be all "Begorrah! :-D" when my mom calls the embassy.

I should mention my mom is batshit crazy.

omg (nsfw pic)

the weirdest part is that mom says the person whose wisdom most influenced her decision was Larry Elder

Cwzen u evil fuck

I do apologise

What's the debate thread?

The Lysergic Acid Diethylamidiotic Joe Biden & Sarah Palin VP Presidential Debate thread in the 2 zero zero 8 (2008 party over oops)

+ New silentreader See Profile I'm a Fan of silentreader I'm a fan of this user permalink

I love the talent and intelligence of the Obama/Biden ticket, but nothing won me over more than how these two men treat their families. It is my firm belief that anyone who can hold their families in the proper priority, who can openly display love with one's wife and children as both Barack and Joe have displayed, who show respect to others despite fundamental differences is the right ticket to lead this country. I can say without a doubt that if they were republicans, I would still vote for them - for that reason. Their respect for life and humanity is evident in how they treat their families and I feel that they would both approach the awesome responsibility of the office of POTUS and VPOTUS with as much respect as they approach their roles as husbands and dads. I trust my family's future in their hands - because of how they treat their own. These are good, decent, smart, loving people and I hope that America rises to the occassion this November.

probably talked about already hahaha

The New Yorker's official endorsement.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. famously said of Franklin Roosevelt that he had a "second-class intellect, but a first-class temperament." Obama has shown that he is a man of limited experience, questionable convictions, deeply troubling associations (Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezko) and an alarming lack of self- definition -- do you really know who he is and what he believes? Nonetheless, he's got both a first-class intellect and a first-class temperament. That will likely be enough to make him president.

Is that Krauthammer?

yah

an alarming lack of self- definition -- do you really know who he is and what he believes?

how the fuck are they still pushing this

No mention of last night's debate in his article. The debate = a wash.

It was filed before the debate.

Well, at least I read it on the WaPo's site around 11 pm.

wow hoops, i mean if you don't chalk his response up to not listening to the question he really sounds diabolical in that clip.

deeply troubling associations (Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezko)

i get why this line is pushed for propagand-ish purposes but i dont believe that conservative 'thinkers' are genuinely worried about any of these aside from Wright - they must realize how little Ayers and Rezko have actually been involved w/ Obama's worldview, right??

They are not genuinely worried about any of them.

i believe they genuinely find jeremiah wright's beliefs to be 'radical' and are genuinely concerned that behind obama's calm persona he secretly harbors some of those 'radical' beliefs, and i believe this genuinely concerns them.

if gwb had gone to david duke's church (NOT MAKING A CASE OF EQUIVALENCE HERE) then we would be rightly concerned, and i think GOPers probably see Wright's worldview to be as equally radical (no matter how ludicrous that is)

play for Maine an indication that the best they can do is try to break a tie?

outlier? CNN poll earlier in the week had Obama up 12

Yeah, that's gotta be an outlier. The breakout for the Twin Cities has Obama only up by 3 (47-44), which seems wrong.

Meghan O'Rourke OTM

The breakout for the Twin Cities has Obama only up by 3 (47-44), which seems wrong.

Obama has performed worse there than anywhere else throughout SUSA's polling. their definition includes the burbs, which are Republican.

ha, I wonder if Palin's accent alone is worth a couple of points in Minnesota. She sounds exactly like my aunts (all of whom are DFLers tho btw).

I would think the more she sounds like you the more of an insult it becomes

I don't think it's very common for someone who has a heavy accent or dialect to ever be comfortable with it, especially women.

People avoid tape recorders more than they avoid mirrors.

So, ergo, someone who share's Palin's accent might be turned off from her.

I only wish I had Bill Clinton's accent, but he was raised in the southern part of the state while I was raised by Yankee puppets on "Sesame Street".

so

how come the "John McCain isn't a maverick, he's a sidekick" line didn't get picked up as a stump line? That's one of the few lines I really remember from the DNC.

Any body check out Sean Quinn's remarks on Missouri on 538 today?
