Anyway, I'm not going to even bother addressing your claim that if you're conservative from an isolated part of the world, you're stupid.
Wait, what the fuck am I doing responding to your post at all?

You didn't address what I said at all. You just changed the subject. Anyway, the point is, when the stock market crashed, Franklin Roosevelt got on the television.

Would you like to see all the types of senor McCain misquotes? I didn't think so. I am sure you know, McCain has made all sorts of misquotes, lies, and meaningless scrutiny.

Your point is relevant and is not very meaningful since your party is known for misquotes and lying.

Oh don't worry. I know about all of McCain's gaffs, because 99% of major media outlets discuss them at length. Yet, I see no coverage of Obama or Biden gaffs on anything except Fox NEws (which is highly unfortunate, since Fox News is 99% rubbish).

My point isn't irrelevant. I doubt you knew Biden ever said that because you've been spoon-fed nothing but propaganda from the magic picture box in your living room. Interestingly, Biden hasn't been interviewed much at all by these stations, who are too busy ripping into Palin to give Biden an actual tough interview. Bear in mind0, I hate Palin. But the idea that Biden is better than her? Laughable. Biden is just as bad, if not worse, than Palin at answering questions.

If I am being spoon-fed propaganda, how is it that I actually watch the canidates debate rather than the on News coverage of it? Palin is simply a pawn to be pranced around in a fashion to get attention, as you have said, Joe Biden does not really appear on news coverage for interviews, except for all of these.

If you would like to have a "tough" interview, he has to go to Fox News, the only place that is critical of him. I really think it would be great for a politician to go to a place where everone hates him/her. Most Newscasts support Joe Biden. Therefore, most don't wouldn't mock someone they support. They mock Palin because of their low opinion of her and usually the stupid shit she says. Do an interview yourself if you want one so bad.

I formed a conclusion long ago that Biden was superior to Palin in almost all instances.


News coverage=Story, News shows such as Countdown= Opinion.

I like how Obama said that we need to pull out of Iraq and reducing spending on our military, but also said that we should have military forces in all 60 countries that Al Quieda is active in. So instead of being active in two countries, being active in 60 will reduce the cost...

We already have troops in many, many countries. Ask Cellardoor6 about what countries we have troops in, because he's more learned on it than me.

I looked it up and despite being in the debates Ross Perot still lost. No one really cares about third parties and a third party has never won in history.

Abe Lincoln was third party at the time! : )

BS. The Whigs collapsed in 1856, and Lincoln was elected in 1860. The Republicans were the second biggest political party at the time. The Republicans had already run a previous time, in 1856, with Fremont, who got second place. He may have been the first Republican to win, but the Republicans were still one of the two major parties at the time, they just hadn't won yet. Learn your history.

Well I think the VP debate was a dissapointment for people that wanted to see Palin crash and burn.
She did not win but she did okay.
She constantly changed subject and looked nervous when she said McCain would give a $5,000 doller tax credit for famalies to get health insurance then Biden said that most health insurance costs $12,000/

It is only going to get worse for her and if she can't handle it now she shouldn't be running, also if you are to call someone a liar it is best to provide sources to back up your claims.

What point am I missing? He said Lincoln was third party at the time, which wasn't true. And speaking of "missing the point", explain how I need to "calm down". What did I say that implied I was in any way emotionally enraged?

Yah, Lincoln was the first Republican president, I said that. Doesn't prove anything. Sorry for double post, I hit "post it" too early.

McCain is doing WAY better than he did last time.

This time it seems that (at least thus far) it's Obama who is incapable of answering questions without being vague, and it's McCain that is driving the points more forcefully.


Yay, Obama won. Let's thank his supporters:
-The compliant mainstream media for their pro-Obama propaganda.
-Black Panthers for their intimidation of voters.

Minutes later from where I'm watching it. They're both equal. Although I'm glad I'm not among the audience down there. Everytime I hear "My friends" I want to punch him in the throat.

Agreed... at the beginning anyway. I think Obama has started to rebound a little bit... but it's probably not enough to swing the polls.

Bearing in mind that I don't have a favorite horse in this race, swing what polls? You mean the ones that are already showing he's going to win?
