88, with all due respect... using a NY Times op-ed from January 25th, 2008 as evidence that the media selected the GOP candidate is whack.88 wrote: McCain was selected by the media as the Republican candidate. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/25/opinion/25fri2.html
I've no doubt that just about every nay-saying political pundit in the history of this nation has said the same thing two weeks before election, yet somehow we've survived, and will again.So it's between McCain and Obama. What a choice. Seriously. What a choice.
McCain sucks. Obama sucks.

Be nice. I tried to cover that... but yeah.BSmack wrote: The New York Times? Republican activists were swayed by the New York Times? THAT New York Times?
umm, err... yeah.What got McCain nominated was the stupid Republican winner take all primary policy that gives candidates an undue amount of momentum for winning early primaries. If they're going to have that kind of a system, they should have a one day national primary in March and be done with it. Instead, they effectively alienated their base during the primary process and now have nobody to blame but themselves for the shitty candidate and campaign they got out of the deal.
Is that the 57th state B.O. was talkin' about?3/8/08 - Guam

Your thoughts, smackaholic?
The GOP could have stood for a long drawn out primary process. All those states Obama had to campaign in during March, April, May and June have massive ground organizations that are poised to kick ass. Meanwhile, McCain sat idle while waiting until August with almost zero in the way of media attention. But hey, far be it from me to complain too loudly about the GOP shooting itself in the foot. If you guys don't want to change, then I'll concede the argument. ;)mvscal wrote:Glass houses much, douchebag?BSmack wrote:Instead, they effectively alienated their base during the primary process and now have nobody to blame but themselves for the shitty candidate and campaign they got out of the deal.
Winner take all is far superior to the back room jug fuck the Dims use. The fight is much quicker and far less destructive to party unity. It's just that McCoot is the shit candidate who emerged from the slate of other shit candidates.

Someone take a crack at exlpaining why being shot down and captured (i.e., total failure), and then tortured and humiliated for several years...somehow makes one an "expert" on military affairs? Somehow developes character? Leadership?
Clearly, McBush's behavior on being released by his benificent captors (and why shouldn't the Viet Namese have executed him? We would have--if someone had attempted to attack, say, Oklahoma City with a jet fighter bomber) has been a clear and steady record of weasel-like opportunism and outright corruption. His choice of Brood Mare is a historically shameful move, and doing so while suggesting to "shake up the Old Boys network" is astonishing. McBush is the Old Boy network. He suggests that 'Bama will initiate an "international crisis".... He and his fellow deregulating war-mongers ARE the international crisis. This bizarre Orwellian inversion of reality --learned from Lee Atwater/Rove--will apparently go on right up until 10/4 when the GOP once again attempts to steal the election.
Not this time!

Actually, the election is in October to someone who has probably voted absentee at least 7 times by now and will vote at least 7 more times between now and November 4th.88 wrote: And the election is in November, not October.

Okay, Spoor, (aka, ''mscval" "Cuda" Diogenes"), consider that the hundreds of "terrorists" we have in custody are being held without any legal recourse. No evidence of their supposed crimes has been presented. If they were caught in the U.S. actually attempting to destroy buildings, etc. (like McBush was in Hanoi), then of course they should be executed. As it was they were captured in a distant land that WE were invading! McBush was invading Viet Nam. Had Viet Nam attacked America? Had Viet Nam ever attacked anyone?mvscal wrote:Odd that we haven't executed any of the hundreds of terrorists we have in custody.

I tend to agree with this point in that its a shame that Iowa and New Hampshire, and the other early states get to decide so much. By the time the primaries got to Texas, the GOP race was over.BSmack wrote:The New York Times? Republican activists were swayed by the New York Times?
