Chew on that homie.


You just said you can't vote.

But I am a part of the Republican club so technically I am a registered Republican.

Maybe not to vote, but yea.

I figured, but still I thought I'd ask for reasons listed above.

Considering his confederate affinity, no way it would have been Webb.

No, you have to register to be a registered Republican. Hence the word register. Are you a convicted felon? A foreign national? I see your rebuttal to my assertions has gone from "am not" to "you're a racist." Nice. It wouldn't be the first time an Obama supporter has insisted everyone who doesn't vote for him are racists. Keep doing it. White people love to hear that.

You randomly said something about Indians and 7-11 that really didn't flow that well in your post. Add that to you being white and an "artist" in Cali and yet republican, I was just connecting the dots presented to me...

You could have Googled Joe Biden, who I was talking about, Indians and 7-11 as it appears Pacino and jerseyhoya did. If you think artists or California Republicans are racist I hate to think what you'd think of real conservatives. We're a bunch of RINOS.

i'm just saying that the percentage of 'artists' in Cali that are liberal is more likely than not incredibly high.

Ah, so ones that aren't are probably racist. That makes perfect sense now. Thanks for clarifying.

He doesn't reassure the Obamacans who ran to him for change.

So you don't need to get your own party's votes, but you need to....'get', or at least not-not-get, your own party's votes.

I'd love to hear Tim Robbins' Bob Roberts deliver that explanation.

So in your mind Lieberman would make great McCainian sense. I can' believe the candidate turned down your offer to run his campaign
Yes, but in a double utley you can put your utley on top they other guy's utley, and you're the winner. (Swish)

Today's electoral-vote.com results: Obama 269, McCain 256, Tie 13.

Which means that if it came out like that, and McCain won VA, we'd go to the House of Representatives. And wouldn't that be fun. (insert vomiting icon)

I'm starting to think the most important thing about the Democratic convention is whether it wins some new supporters in Colorado, which right now is a jump-ball with McCain leading within the MOE.

It turns out I was mistaken. Joe Biden has no problem distorting and misrepresenting John McCain's record. If this is the way he treats a long time friend I hate to see how he treats people he doesn't like. I did wish I could live in the really cool country he talked about where George Bush and John McCain were co-Presidents instead of the President completely ignoring McCain on Iraq for four years until he finally got the message.

It really bugs me when McCain's stands or record is distorted, but the thing is that when you're supporting a guy you notice every time they misrepresent your guy and dismiss it when your guy does it. I guess when people repeat something inaccurate as fact to me I get too worked up. Factcheck and Politifact notice when both guys do it. Granted they are pretty much the only ones. The major news media is either disinterested or too lazy to call the candidates on it. The truth is that John McCain isn't running a respectful campaign and Barack Obama is doing the same kind of politics that have been done for years. It's disappointing because I believe that both of these guys weren't the type of people who would do this.

I'm sure people will dismiss it as politics as usual and how you win but I don't want to win an election because my guy misled the public slightly better than the other guy did. Sadly enough that appears to be happening.

Why are you surprised? Did you think these guys operate in a vaccum or control all this stuff? If you are the guy and you REALLY want to win, are you going to NOT do something your advisors say you need to do to win? I'm ripped all the time for my so-called naive and or idealistic stances and wanting people like candidates to operate by a higher moral standard. Is that what you want from these two? And why would you expect that in this country and this time?
