I suspect Obama will be elected. And I predict Obama will fall on his face.
I'm not choosing sides. I just think it's funny how far left people are on here when in reality....left, right....it's all the same. It's all government...more than we need and it will keep getting bigger no matter who is elected.
I love and respect Eddie Vedder.....but even his opinions don't sway my opinions; like I suspect is the reason a lot of people on here are speaking out for Obama. 90% of you have no idea what he stands for or how he plans to "change" Washington. Just more sheep in the pasture.
No more than the Maverick will, that's why I'd rather see McCain in office to try and fix the major problems facing this country.
Obama is gauranteed to be the next President without my help but it matters none whose in office cause it's a total up hill battle to clean up the mess this current administration has created.

do they really need to get permission if they're just playing a song?
Well the band and it's writers own the rights and they may not want it played there the RNC could have a problem.
If the RNC played PJ song and PJ didn't want their songs played as to show they maybe supporting the RNC, they could face some legal problems.

In a situation like this, I don't know. When there is some dissent from the artist/band, it might just be a symbolic gesture. Or maybe there are some legal implications. I dunno.
Oh fuck now they're playing Don't Stop Believin'. There goes the next three weeks of my life, which will now be spent trying to erase that song from my head.
sarah and mrs McCain both have interest with special needs kids.
I’m one of those kids all grown up.
I hear McCain say ‘cut government spending’
To me that means cut programs I use and need. And no, I’m not on Social Security. I’m talking about other programs.
Why would he do that with being close to special needs kids himself?
I don't trust a word Palin says.
Palin Slashed Funding for Teen Moms
Not many pregnant teens are as privileged as Bristol Palin. And for those who are not, Sarah Palin made things a little harder a few months ago when she used a line-item veto to cut funding for a transitional home for teen moms in Alaska.
According to the Washington Post:
After the legislature passed a spending bill in April, Palin went through the measure reducing and eliminating funds for programs she opposed. Inking her initials on the legislation -- "SP" -- Palin reduced funding for Covenant House Alaska by more than 20 percent, cutting funds from $5 million to $3.9 million. Covenant House is a mix of programs and shelters for troubled youths, including Passage House, which is a transitional home for teenage mothers.
According to Passage House's Web site, its purpose is to provide "young mothers a place to live with their babies for up to eighteen months while they gain the necessary skills and resources to change their lives" and help teen moms "become productive, successful, independent adults who create and provide a stable environment for themselves and their families."
(It certainly doesn't sound like the teen moms were joyriding in Cadillacs on the government's dime, but you never know.)
In classic "compassionate" conservative fashion, Palin opposes programs that teach girls how not to get pregnant, lobbies against their right to decide whether to have a child, then kills social programs that exist to cushion the impact of those policies. She then has the gall to trot out her own pregnant daughter as a symbol for "family values."
In a situation like this, I don't know. When there is some dissent from the artist/band, it might just be a symbolic gesture. Or maybe there are some legal implications. I dunno.
Oh fuck now they're playing Don't Stop Believin'. There goes the next three weeks of my life, which will now be spent trying to erase that song from my head.
JOURNEY lives on man. Next song by them will be *FAITHFULLY* and I do love that song.

worst part about all this is that i actually like McCain as a person. just dont dig on his politics.
but this has been a farce ! fear mongers ! hipocracy ! and flat out fibbing ! lol.
I can't hate McCain. I just don't agree with him always.. He's actually pretty liberal, that's why he choose Palin, to pull in more conservatives. I think at one point he considered having a democrat as vice president.. If McCain wins, it won't be the end of the world for me, besides my disagreeance with Iraq. It will be baby steps better than Bush/Cheney.

agreed.
he should learn how to argue proper intellectual and thought-provoking arguments, such as saying that the "war" in Iraq is "over", and suggesting that violence will be lower as a result of it.
