Upholding real American values, those practiced by the founding fathers, constitution etc.?"His name was Ron Paul and the republican party was too chicken-shit to nominate him. He would have fared the best chance against Obama and would have made the debate a true intellectual experience. Fuck..they got what they want..Ron Paul is slightly more sane Ross Pero. Walking past a Ron Paul rally is enough reason not to vote for him; what's the old adage? Birds of a feather flock together? Huckabee was the answer for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubalcain Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 The WW3 thread was a prediction on challenges the Obama administration will face and the end result of those challenges based on his advisory staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birds of a feather flock together? Huckabee was the answer for me.He would have been an excellent choice. I'm glad this campaign is over. I'm glad the Senate is not filibuster proof (fell shy of 60 dems), there are checks and balances in place. Obama will only be able to do so much before the Senate stops anything odd.

larryo108 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I think this race came down to more who did you want for VP...Since both of them will probably die in office.So... Palin or Biden. Kind of a no brainier.That's a good idea. Pick a PRESIDENT with 0 experience, because the more qualified candidate picked a VP with less experience. For me the choice was made on issues and not because of who he picked. I would rather a VP get OTJ training than the leader of the free fucking world. Granted if McCain had kicked the bucket, Palin would have been in, but Obama is in no matter what now.And, frankly I can't believe the amount of ignorant comments I've seen on this site about this election. You all drive Volvos, common now, you're supposed to be intellectuals. In the past I've voted either way, democratic, republican, but what I can't stand is people believing all of the BS they've been fed these last few months. It seems that the republican party is in a very difficult spot right now. What happened to the intellectual republican? Upholding real American values, those practiced by the founding fathers, constitution etc.? It seems that now the republican party caters to the Bible belt. And what have we learned from history that mixing church and state has taught us? Right now, I'm proud to be an American. I haven't said that in a long time. We should be very proud of ourselves - we made an incredible statement to the world with this election. In a way, I think we've 'redeemed' ourselves in the eyes of many other nations. The young people have spoken, and I think we chose a damn fine president last night.Now I have to go to class,cheers,That's the problem. The young people who have very little clue about the real world elected the president. That and all of the black people who came out to vote for a black candidate. Call me racist. But all I heard last night was people being interviewed who were more concerned about voting for a black man because of the color of his skin and not his stance on the issues, which flip flop like crazy. I keep hearing that it was a priviledge and the Civil Rights fight, blah, blah, blah. I am by no means diminishing the dispicable acts that occurred in the 60's. But all have had the right to vote since 1965. Where have they been for the past 43 years. Didn't want to vote because it was white people running. But I am called racist for thinking this. Whatever. I am so over it.Anyone who knows me knows that I am the furthest thing from a racist there is, but I am sick and tired of the race card being played when it is convenient for you. I have no problem voting for a black man. I would have loved to vote for Colin Powell. I just didn't want to vote for this black man.thats exactly what happened to me. i made my choice very early, was totally happy, drank the wine and then the VP choices came out. boom it was over. had to make a decision i wasn't prepared for.Sorry to hear that Mike. Yup, we successfully voted into office a man with almost 0 morals according to his voting record. Hooray America. I'm just SOOO proud to be an American right now.Couldn't have put it any better myself. Thank God there are some sane ones left around here.Ron Paul is slightly more sane Ross Pero. Walking past a Ron Paul rally is enough reason not to vote for him; what's the old adage? Birds of a feather flock together? Huckabee was the answer for me.I liked Huckabee.

I'm just SOOO proud to be an American right now.+1 with a caveat:The country's probably not going to fall apart, it's not the end of days... But I'm disappointed in the American people. They think that it's all over now and forget that this place is a Republic, not a Democracy. It's not all over... you have to continually participate to make it work. Write to representatives, keep in touch with government from the lowest levels and on up, etc. When the people are silent by and large, the only voices in Washington become the lobbyists.

Pops Racer Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 What happened to "the content of his character not the color of his skin "? MLK says we fail. History has been made. We elected the first Hawaiian to be Prez. And he's as white as he is black.It's the nuts in Congress and Senate that scare me not Obama. Until he appoints the loons to courts.I say again: Al Franken? WTF! Minnesota should secede to Canadia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryo108 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I say again: Al Franken? WTF! Minnesota should secede to CanadiaI saw that too. What the hell is he gonna do? Sit in a room with Obama and a mirror and say, "I'm good enough. I'm smart enough. And dog gone it, people like me."But seriously, that's the same state that elected Jesse "the Body" Ventura as their governor, so are you THAT surprised.

MikeG Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 I say again: Al Franken? WTF! Minnesota should secede to Canadianot so quick... the AP retracted on calling the state for Franken this morning. Apparently, Coleman won this morning by 571 votes, but that small of a number calls for a mandatory recount, according to MN state law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
