2008 Primaries Thread 3: The Rejecting and Denouncening

I'm no legal scholar, but that was a good Slate article, gabbs.

you beat me to the punch gabbneb. dammit.

I couldn't remember if it was Warrant who did that.

I've just never understood how the gun lobby managed to lay ahold of their "superpatriot" status. They want the ability to attack their own government, and they pay as little in taxes as possible. I'm waiting for the next generation of superpatriots, the ones who pay more in taxes than they need to.

I keep my rocket launcher in the broom closet.

the poor?

lolz

I thought a patriot loves his country? Nobody loves his government...

xp: we can't have universal healthcare, it will undermine the sense of self-sacrifice they've developed lining up in the ER.

some more activists

Obama lost a point to Bob Barr.

anyone that seriously believes the court will strike down the individual's right to bear arms is crazy. it is too late to turn back, and it won't happen, no matter what legal scholars say.

I bet Don Wiener's balls on it

SCOTUS will allow owners of firearms to abort their newborn children with a bullet to the temple.

i look forward to a hilarious "GREAT GUN CONTROL DEBATE" thread revive

i eagerly await the exciting and challenging opinions to come

anyone that seriously believes the court will strike down the individual's right to bear arms is crazy

the court has never recognized such a right. but it is expected to do so here.

Is that progressive enough for you gabbneb?

it's very activist, yes

They want the ability to attack their own government, and they pay as little in taxes as possible.

Country != government. It's true that it's pretty noteworthy that the nra has been able to convince people of that where the aclu hasn't.

Chairman Cole Comments on Issuance of False Democratic Talking Points

Despite Being Widely Discredited, Democrats Level False “100 Years” Accusation at Senator John McCain in Desperate Election Year Ploy

Washington– Today, Chairman Tom Cole made the following statement in regards to the dissemination of talking points issued by the House Democratic Caucus in advance of Gen. Petraeus’ report before Congress, which included a statement falsely accusing Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) of “promising” 100 years of war in Iraq:

“With a long and protracted primary battle brewing in the presidential contest, Democrats are justifiably worried that a John McCain candidacy could hurt their chances from the top of the ticket on down. Unfortunately for the American people, when the facts don’t meet the political goals of some Democratic leaders in the House, they resort to desperate tactics such as undermining the testimony of a widely regarded military General or distorting the words of the Republican presidential nominee. Intentionally disseminating falsehoods as ‘talking points’ in order to stem the perceived political fallout of positive news coming out of Iraq, just goes show how worried Democrats are about the upcoming elections.”

holy shit

ain't no such things as halfway crooks, they shook

they have distorted McCain's words in that instance, Blanche. He's said plenty of other stupid shit they can harp on.

I do not support McCain but if YOU think that was a racist remark. YOU ARE THE RACIST!

When you literally realize that your life depends on character and your life depends on consistency and motivating you find out that." says Bellavia "You know what politicians don't often times make the best leaders. Leaders are born, leaders are bred and I was baptized by fire and I think that I'm doing this because I believe I'm being called to serve.

The shadowy 'Other Woman' following Chelsea Clinton looks menacing. Like The Joker.

WEVE GOT SENATOR MCCAIN - MY FRIENDS THIS IS THE REAL AUDACITY OF HOPE!

This is the most inartful, silly sentence I've heard this week (aside from all of my own).

wtf @ Morbs calling me Blanche, I don't even get it

anyway we've been over this but I don't think harping on the hundred years is all that unfair. in full context the quote means McCain wants to stay in Iraq and keep fighting and staying and fighting, and then once it's safe and no American troops are getting killed we'll set up bases and stay some more.

Anyone in Washington with an interest in helping Obama get elected, please sign this petition I'm organizing and pass it on. Thank you.

I want to know if Morbius is referencing Blanche DuBois or Blanche Devereaux or some other mysterious Blanche that makes as little sense as those two

calling someone Blanche sure is sassy, though, albeit bewildering. kudos!

yah exactly - until he says how long it is ok for americans to be killed in iraq ill use 100 years as the baseline

i did tho enjoy his adoption of the mccain my friends tick

I hope saying "my friends" doesn't become a hip/ironic signifier. I'd jab my ears with an icepick.

my friends, id jab my ears with an icepick.

this is likely inevitable - good call daniel

make no mistake my friends I feel your pain

You would miss your ears my friend. lol xxp

itd be fun to go to a mccain rally w/a bunch of people MY FRIENDS and just yell my friends back at him every time he said it

ha

uh i dunno but isn't mideast regional opposition to the US going back before the iraq war based in part on our established military presence in S. Arabia? culturally, a prolonged occupation would not be comparable in purpose or effect to korea or germany etc

my friend aka the steendriver

guys, you know who else says 'my friends'? Teddy the K.
