pink Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) My dad emailed me (he is a real moderate, votes both ways regularly) that he'd rather vote for Bush again than vote for Obama. I have not had a chance to talk to him about it yet, but what exactly is the mortal flaw with Obama besides being a little young and fairly new to national politics? he's realted to cheney. http://celestina.newsvine.com/_news/2007/02/13/566354-digging-dirt-on-obama Edited February 11, 2008 by pink Quote
Mal_Con Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Nothin wrong with Obama that I know of, racists will not vote for him buth they wouldn't vote for Hillary either. Interesting to see the GOP turned on the huckster and stopped counting when they thought he might win and the Mittster took Maine, talk about dead men walking! Quote
pink Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 the racist, you make it sound like all republicans are racist. Quote
marylou Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 My dad votes republican sometimes, but I don't think there's a racist bone in his body. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Anyone who needs to sink that level of profanity in a fairly civil discussion like this one only shows their own character. No one is attacking you two or calling names. you've openly admitted to doing far worse than name-calling on a bullshit internet forum dedicated to flame wars. what you did actually fucking matters.

Mal_Con Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 I was speaking of who would not vote for Obama and white racists are in that group, although they are not all of the GOP though they make a significant portion in most southern and many northern states. This has been the case since Nixon adopted the "southern strategy". Quote
Dechristo Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 You may not know that there are African-Americans who would not vote for a black candidate. And, the South is predominantly Democrat, traditionally. Quote

Mal_Con Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 The South was solidly D. until 1948 when Truman moved to integrate the military. The Dixicrats then formed and Strom Thurman took most of the South. They turned to R. after Nixon noted the Success of Wallace and needed help when his administration started crumbling using code words of "law and Order" and "States Rights" to attract the former Dixicrats. What few racist white D.s left usually vote R. The D. party in the south is predominatly Black. Quote
marylou Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 you've openly admitted to doing far worse than name-calling on a bullshit internet forum dedicated to flame wars. what you did actually fucking matters. Yes, crossing parties in the primary is pretty much baby-raping by any other name. Quote
Doug Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 My dad emailed me (he is a real moderate, votes both ways regularly) that he'd rather vote for Bush again than vote for Obama. I have not had a chance to talk to him about it yet, but what exactly is the mortal flaw with Obama besides being a little young and fairly new to national politics? A lot of people are screaming for change, but when it comes down to it they may be more afraid of the impending change than they are of staying the course. Quote
archenemy Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Reading this thread makes me happy that I am a morally inferior person. But its always a bummer to find out people's votes don't really count. Depressing. Quote
olyclimber Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 I will Vote for Colin Powel in the primary and I will vote the Only Reasonable party for in the General election, the GOP. I WILL NOT VOTE SOCIALIST! You guy lost to the war, or did you forget that? Yes, I think it will be McCain, and yes, as McCain moves to the center it will push Billery or the Obama-nation to the left. Thus insuing another 4 years of repubican mandates! Obama can NOT win. The first Black president with be a republican. http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5g5iG-pbWi7Ea1rXRYpjWh5hmzQuQ Quote
mattp Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 Hey KK: here's your man - the chair of Washington's Republican party - on election morality: Like any sport worth its salt, in politics you have adversaries, opponents, enemies. Our enemies are loudmouth leftists and shiftless deadbeats. To win the election, we have to keep as many of these people away from the polls as possible. Now your average leftist loudmouth is a committed individual and can almost never be persuaded to ignore his constitutional rights. The deadbeats, however, are a different matter entirely. Years of interminable welfare checks and free government services have made these modern-day sloths even more lazy. They will vote on election day, if it isn’t much of a bother. But even the slightest inconvenience can keep them from the polling place. Many of the most successful anti-deadbeat voter techniques (poll taxes, sound beatings, etc.) that conservatives have used in the past have been outlawed by busybody judges. The only means of persuasion left available to us are Acts of God, who we know is exclusively on our side. I’m talking about seriously inclement weather. I want Biblical floods and pestilence. I will settle for rain, sweet rain. The deadbeats won’t even go out in the rain for their welfare checks (they send one of their social workers to pick it up). There’s no way they’ll vote if it’s raining. check it out Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 OMG! A BLOGGER ON THE INTERNET! IT MUST BE TRUE! Quote
olyclimber Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 Is a college newspaper (the UW Daily) better than a blog? OMG I READ IT IN INK IT MUST BE TRUE. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I ONLY READ CROOKS AND LIARS. IT IS THE ULTIMATE SOURCE OF INFO! Quote
olyclimber Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 the truth hurts you, doesn't it? Quote
olyclimber Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 but facts are easily dismissed with a wave of the fingers, so no worries Quote
olyclimber Posted February 12, 2008 Author Posted February 12, 2008 uh...so you're saying that dipshit didn't write that in the UW Daily? Its a fact. FACT. EAT IT! FACT. Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 what the fuck does that prove? who cares what someone wrote in the daily? damn you're being dense. just because you pull up some random shit doesn't make some grand point for your "side". my main point on this thread was that it's total bullshit to vote in the primary for a party you do not support in order to sabotage the process, and no "example" of fraud, stupidity, or misbehavior changes that FACT. now go lick sack Quote
