2008 USP(G)ET pt. II: counting the days to 2012 primary thread 1

Basically:

• hordes of lines from the Democrat-affiliated booths
• completely empty Republican-affiliated booths
• legions of Obama pins and t-shirts
• fewer than 20 McCain pins and t-shirts
• award-winning seed art featuring elephants shitting and pissing on the Constitution, elephants merrily dancing off of a cliff, Obama cleaning up piles of elephant shit
• an award-winning scarecrow of W holding a sign that said "MISSION BUNGLED"

HAI GUYS, they found this year's key voting demo yet again

Maxed-Out Moms: The Battleground Voting Bloc
By Karen Tumulty Wednesday, Sep. 17, 2008

Meet the woman of the year: White, high school–educated and probably on the north side of age 50, she is getting the worst of a bad economy. She's worrying about whether her daughter will be able to afford college and her father his medicine. Her husband can barely afford the gasoline it takes to get back and forth from a job he's in danger of losing — and with it, their health insurance. She's getting her hair cut less often and sometimes has to put her utility bill on her Visa. She's the woman doing the laundry at 11 p.m., because it's the first chance she's had all day to do it. So it's no surprise that she hasn't yet gotten around to settling on Barack Obama or John McCain — though how she votes may well determine the outcome of the election...

award-winning seed art featuring elephants shitting and pissing on the Constitution

goddamnit, when i went all the seed art was just girl scouts and unicorns! wtf?

getting very meta: mccain campaign lies about what mccain said and makes up things obama is "about to" say in order to cover for stupid things mccain said this morning

The Gnarls Barkley is on here, too.

them's some cute kids working the dem booths

"After the password recovery was reenabled, it took seriously 45 mins on wikipedia and google to find the info, Birthday? 15 seconds on wikipedia, zip code? well she had always been from wasilla, and it only has 2 zip codes (thanks online postal service!)

"The second was somewhat harder, the question was "where did you meet your spouse?" did some research, and apparently she had eloped with mister palin after college, if youll look on some of the screenshits [sic] that I took and other fellow anon have so graciously put on photobucket you will see the google search for "palin eloped" or some such in one of the tabs.

"I found out later though more research that they met at high school, so I did variations of that, high, high school, eventually hit on "Wasilla high" I promptly changed the password to popcorn and took a cold shower...

hacked!

i saw that bernie mac seed art at the state fair

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/18/palins-transparency-proposal-already-exists-in-dc/

why do they even let her speak? is she really this retarded and uninformed?

hahahahahaha

ps: yes

ladies and gentlemen, burt stanton

you ruined my terrible joke

A campaign spokesperson insisted that Palin was referring not to that specific proposal, but rather to "that kind of transparency in general."

Like glass, or plastic wrap.

can I call her a dumb bitch yet

general transparency you can believe in

Priceless. I thought she'd get too cocky OR too dumb.

The seed art boggles my mind. Past state fair visits swerved this in favour of 4H fashion show. Also ?!?! Ed, surrounded by Obama porn and no badge for me? Whyioughta ::shakes fist::

her retardedness is pretty generally transparent

haha

Imagine asking for transparency when you're too good to accept subpoenas. Now imagine her saying 'subpoenas' in THAT ACCENT.

YESSSSSS

tom rapidly becoming my favorite poster on this thread

malkin fans getting v. excited that the anon's dad is evidently an obama backer BUSTED!!!1!

what are you on about?

The father of the guy who h@xx0r3d Palin's email is a TN state Dem.

(or so the story goes)

I'm sure his southern democratic upbringing has everything to do with his terrifying criminal nature

The father of the guy who h@xx0r3d Palin's email is a TN state Dem.

that isn't surprising at all, who gives a shit

what are you on about?

the internet, Shakey

http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/09/obama-pulls-ahead-in-electoral-college.html

sirens ahoy

palin's "privacy" in using a secret yahoo account to conduct state busines: sacrosanct

some kid's "privacy" and that of his family after he breaks into said account: what?

http://www.thewashingtonnote.com/archives/2008/09/i_am_proud_of_b/

(did we do that already?)

pace glen greenwald, let's pause for a second to consider the republicans' attitude toward communication privacy generally.

god hannity sucks

Kuttner poked some holes in the gasbag fairly well: "You fool.. you idiot."

Kuttner is my hero

i guess "you idiot" was Hannity. next 8 years gonna suck for that dude.
