I disagree - I don't think anywhere would be safe. She's already been found guilty on one count of abuse of power and last I heard there was another case pending.

Granted there would be a way out though - impeachment.

I think we're pretty much screwed either way. BHO is going to pussyfy (is that a word) the country in the world's eyes, totally screw the budget with his socialist economic ideas, and try to completely disarm us all. McAncient isn't a whole lot better.

I've tried everything I can to get as many people to vote independent, but I guess it just wasn't enough. Too many of the sheep over here forget there are more than just two political parties...

Since "pussyfy" is not a term I recognise, I have no idea what you mean by it but suspect that it doesn't mean that you think that Obama will be good for you.

I have to say that I find it very hard to believe that Obama is going to do more damage to the US economy than has already been done under eight years of GWB - and you never know, you might even find that Socialism isn't as bad as you think - not that it is ever likely to happen in the USA.

Perhaps most people think that since an independent vote is a waste of time anyhow, they will stay at home instead?

Yeah I disagree with you, Darrin. I think if you actually read over his economic plan you'd see that it actually makes a lot of sense.

And as far is him showing signs of pussyism, I couldn't disagree with you more. When the man gets up and speaks in front of a crowd, he's inspiring. He exudes leadership and makes you feel like someone intelligent is about to step in and take command. It's about time someone with a brain and foresight was about to take his seat in the oval office and not a bumbling idiot like we have now that makes you feel ashamed every time you see him representing our country. If anything, he's the pussy acting out of fear whenever he uses military action. That's his answer to everything. It takes a real man, a real leader to think of other options. And I don't think Obama is stupid enough to completely disarm this country. Make sure you separate your facts with your rumors.

Meh, I had a big old post typed out, but I hate discussing politics. So I'll leave you all with this thought :

If pro is the opposite of con, what does that say about "progress"?


[EDIT] When I said, "disarm us all" I meant in the 2nd amendment sense, not militarily.

It takes more than a President to change the Constitution, the 2nd amendment will be there a lot longer than we are on this planet. Using that as an excuse not to vote for someone really makes no sense.

I am a left wing pinko liberal and given the chance i would support the democrats, but there is just something about Obama i just don't like.

I still am not counting out McCain, when push comes to shove, voters tend to **** out of the tough choices. McCain is the easy choice, i still wouldn't rule out the fact that obama is black playing a hindering role. Sure in public people will say they will vote him, 'cause it sounds like the right thing to do. But when it comes to it, i just don't know.

Although McCain screwed up picking Pailin. She was picked to try get the women vote, and that is the vote she managed to alienate. A Texan i know who will be voting isn't sure about voting McCain because of Pailin, and Texans are pretty much all Republicans. lol Though if it was Hilary Vs McCain i'd be making sure my missus had her postal vote in, but because it is McCain and Obama i aint bothered, and she doesn't give a toss anyway lol

Yeah, there's undoubtedly skeletons in the Obama family closet, and his family itself seems to have stirred up a bit of controversy.

I certainly think it'll be a fair deal closer than pollsters suggest. The vast majority of US voters vote the same way every time regardless, but as you've shown, some do change sides. The young vote also seems to be a bit of an unknown - there's a lot more registered this time but will they actually vote?

They will come out in their droves and swing it for Obama I reckon.

I think I'll be just saying, "**** it, we're out of here!!" and move back to Canada. Better medical, better job prospects and I won't have to deal with either of the losers on the ballot.

Wait.... what?
