How bad does it suck that your Grandma dies the day before you become President? I'm feelin' for him.

I've got a creeping-dread fear that McCain is going to pull this one out. Anybody else?

It's called "context". You might want to look into it.

Well you can thank Reagan for that mistake. It's considered a cornerstone of his "genius".

Excuse me, but I don't think you guys have factored God's Will into your election calculations, so let's not pop the champagne just yet. According to Sarah Palin the Lord will have the final say. Then again, He does work in mysterious ways and it is possible that He's still undecided.

More than anything else, McCain's "spending freeze" idea (if you could call it an idea) to me represented the say-anything-to-get-elected feature of his candidacy. It was pure pandering to mental defectives. Perhaps he was trying to pry back the Paul Ron contingent.

I'd have had to buy a gun to protect myself from Uday and Qusay.

Apparently you've forgotten about the "Asian hordes" and "the Bear" that are rearing their ugly heads on our borders and threaten our American way of life. We're one small step away from enslavement by the barbarians!

...with their new leader.

"What about Rezko? You down with that?"

I'm going to emigrate to Colombia where they appreciate a right-wing point of view.

You should get an "alpine start". Like right now.

And then he's going to croak before January.

McCain's going to win.

I like the one that goes: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Thanks for the near-incoherent marshmallow of a response. Whatever.

Glad someone said it Doug. It seems to me that today's little pissing match in Iraq may be tomorrows death struggle on the other side of the world with a large bear or worse. The dudes in Iraq will be the same ones moved over there, against the bear or Asian Hordes, saving your ass, and your loved ones asses, and your way of life so that you can flap your lips with out recourse any way you want here on this site Prole. If you want to dispatch rancor on this war, I can see it and understand it, however, today isn't tomorrow, and kicking those in the crotch who may need to be standing between you and some future unimaginable personal horror seems silly, wrong and counterproductive to me. Think it over. Take care all Considering that the American funding of the Afghan mujahudeen, Saddam Hussein, the blind ideological and material support for the State of Israel, economic shock therapy and support for a "strong man" in the former Soviet Union, unwillingness to deal diplomatically with N. Korea, the invasion and occupation of Iraq, and implementation of structural adjustment programs leading to deeper inequalities and grievances throughout the world have done more to facilitate a "future unimaginable personal horror" than any other external actor on the world stage, I'd have to say that you're full of horseshit. I've already made my feelings on "supporting the troops" crystal clear on this board: as individuals, they don't get a free pass. They are fully capable of accessing the same "intelligence" that civilians are and are free to find work accordingly. If they've been paying attention to the news since 2003, then they ought to know that "defense", "security", "honor", and the rest don't mean shit when it comes to Iraq. They're misplaced abstractions. As far as tomorrow's wars go, they've got more balls than brains if they're buying into the same old tired slogans that got them where they are now. "Asian hordes"? "The Bear"? Shame on you.

At another time in history, this was called Romanticism, which occurred in response to the Enlightenment values of rationalism, scientific realism, and empiricism. And yeah, nationalistic at its core. The German expression: Sturm und Drang But what Joe the Plumber currently represents is very mediocre in contrast. Good call. Thnx.

The Stranger makes no pretense to objectivity under the leadership of a self-proclaimed "liberal homo" and is a 2rd rate weekly in a 3rd rate city? Fox News is multi-million dollar media conglomerate beamed into millions of homes and is so pathetically self-conscious of the well-known fact that it has nary a shred of journalistic credibility left that it actually needs to market itself as "fair and balanced"? Oh.

The Stranger is biased? I'm appalled.

That would be inciting vigilantism. Republicans only.

Brothers and sisters, now that the election is over, it's time to come together in a spirit of bi-partisanship, heal as a nation, and help Obama lead as he was elected to do.

What?
