i was unfortunate enough to see some debate last night, the bit where mccain did the you're a terrorist bit, which obama shot down in flames, as it were. i shouted at the telly and turned off after mccain said that that palin would be a cool president if he croaked because she knows all about disabled kids.what a total waste of space that guy is.

but she doesn't look too bad. be a love and just stand there, say nothing, look pretty for the cameras and don't touch any of the buttons.

the republicans do have some politicians who would do a decent job as president.
however, my mostly uninformed opinion is that it seems that the Republicans have backed marketable products (ex-soldier + soccer milf) rather than a more intelligent politician like Giuliani.
I can't help thinking that Simon Cowell will be deciding presidential candidates in a few years.

giuliani is a psychotic wingnut. you know what the strongest argument for his nomination was? "he fixed New York, he can fix America"
he hid behind 9/11 even worse than McCain hides behind his POW status

he manipulates the media well though. In the bit of the debate I've seen, and a few other McCain appearances, he comes across as a bumbling oaf and would surely become as sadly hilarious as George W. should he become president.
I didn't necessarily mean Giuliani would be my choice from the other possible republicans, just that he's a politician, McCain and Palin seem like they're trying hard to pretend to be politicians and failing. It might not count against them when it comes to the vote though, that's the terrifying thing.

last night was actually the first time i'd heard mccain utter a word, i made up my mind that he was a waste of space within 2-3 minutes, i just don't like the look of the guy and he talks crap, that nice obama on the other hand, he's the man.

I only saw the Palin interviews last night, with her stuff about Russia.
I was suprised about how idiotic she sounds.

I'd heard about this previously, but only on b3ta. I must look into it. Poor meese.
If I was going to kill a moose, I'd fight fair. Duct tape big sticks to my head, and fight to the death.

Either way, I want the other animal to win :)

The odds of me winning would be pretty slim, but you'd get pretty rich if I got lucky.
Edit: Woo to the pic, incidentally. It's very nice.

that he would find a cure for autism, using Palin's child which has down's.

All this red-neck rabble rousing they have been doing that Obama is a terrorist, a Muslim (*gasp*), and cries from the audience of "Kill him", may have wonderfully backfired

Nixon repeatedly shot himself in the foot during his campaigns but still got voted in.
Same for George Snr. and Jnr. to an exent. I am unable to understand the relevance of presidential campaigns in america.
The majority seem to vote for the candidate who promises to infringe the human rights of the people they don't like.

It's an unknowable monster at the end of day; I just hope for some politics not in alignment with the typical right-wing shock jocks at the end o the day; how that country has had such a huge proportion vote in that Bush mob twice now is perhaps a serious concern; I doubt our ramblings on this place can answer
I also hope the Che wearing hat brigade could fuck off as well; socialism equals nothing; Stalin's great accomplishment was being a cunt to the extreme, and didn't grasp fundamentals like we don't want to be equal to housing estate chavs, living off everybody else's taxes getting stoned, achieving nothing in life, except frequent criminal convictions

the face of leftist politics is embarrassing as well. The stereotype seems to be some sort of sandal-wearing neohippy with a pathetic sloganed t-shirt. Instead of marching and chanting in the streets about things, wouldn't it be sensible for these people to come together to form a tangible political movement?
No, it would not, because they have jobs and families to feed, and shouting about things they don't agree with is all they have time for.
I saw quite a humourous piece from Penn & Teller bullshit, where a woman went to an anti-capitalist march with a petition to "BAN DIHYDROGENOXIDE: This has been found in our children's foods, bodies, it's all around us and no-one is doing anything to protect us from it.
No-one questioned the petition, just seemed worried and disgusted, and signed. I forget how many signatures they got altogether, but it was a lot. "Lefties" seem to have a problem with water.
My point is, informed, organised leftist politics seems to be on the wain and is being replaced by idiots similar to Tommy Sheridan who see themselves as Ghandis.

left, and slightly right, with whatever the issue at hand
That Indian bloke is one of the most over rated celebrated blokes in history; his treatment of his wife on his fucked up religious beliefs was simply disgusting based on fucked up beliefs
and he then took all the medicine he denied her, cunt
