Wow, probably the most insulting things I've ever heard someone say on this board. And I've heard some insulting shit. Not to mention totally uninformed. I can only hope you're kidding. You are, you have to be.

I'm 99% sure he was being sarcastic.

i guess that's because we realize that there are over 4,000 american soldiers that won't be voting in this presidential election... because they have died in a war that the US is still involved in that we entered into based on lies and deception created by the Bush administration.

Wonder how those soldiers would vote? Guess we'll never know will we.

not to mention 1.2 million Iraqis who would probably be out protesting with these people had they not been killed.

edit: almost forgot to mention the 4.7 million displaced Iraqis.

and all the severely injured soldiers... that may not be voting due to a lack of a sound mind... or that they no longer have eyes, ears, faces, hands etc....

ah yes.

So who is it that's "crazy, wacky", getting their "panties in a twist" and calling names? Project much?

unsung · October 2008

Wow. I'm not sure if I should be honored or frightened that you spend so much time researching me. You were even able to find the one word that I spelling wrong in over 800 posts. Thank you. Since you know so much about me now can you please stop accusing me of siding with McCain?

People on here should do this much research because then they wouldn't accuse me of supporting the war in Iraq, of which I am against. I am very much against Barack Obama, and almost against McCain as much as that. Either way this country is going to be in for a rough four years.

I Wasn't really researching, just noting your hypocrisies and inconsistencies which isn't very hard to do. I have a hard time believing that was the only misspelled word in over 800 posts. Especially when you misspelled it twice and especially when you say things like "You were even able to find the one word that I spelling wrong..."

Does that count as another misspelled word, or just poor grammar? TECHNICALLY douche bag isn't spelled douchebag, it's two separate words so chalk that up as another misspelled word.

Ok, now I'm just busting your balls a little. Seriously though, I never said you were siding with McCain. I just said you were simply repeating his talking points, and that you know nothing about Obama's wife. I still stand by those statements. You even repeated some racist Rush Limbaugh talking points in another thread and people called you out on it so I'm not the only one making these suggestions. I'll leave you alone now though, I'm not here to make any enemies. Just here to discuss issues that's all.

Yes, only white people are racists, like Rush. I've never heard his show BTW and I think he is a blow-hard windbag. I much prefer Mr. Lou Dobbs. Of course people like Jesse Jackson and Rev Wright are not racists, I get it. When blacks stick up for themselves they are hailed a civil rights heroes, when whites do it they are labled racists.

What racist comment did Rush say that I quoted? on edit: I believe many black people are voting for Obama simply because of his race. He has energized them in a way that no one has before. Every black person who has publicly voiced support for a candidate has done so for Obama, hence the big surprise comment.

Your other thing that you are trying to get me on was a typo, sorry it was 213AM.

I'll talk issues all day, where do you want to start?

Kind of like polling people here.

All of the left is constantly screaming to bring the troops home, take care of the troops, etc., yet apparently the troops want the Republicans to win. How about the left put their money where their mouth is and vote Republican if they care about the troops?

"Name all the white liberals that Colin Powell has supported."

Or something along those lines. It's verbatim from Rush Limbaugh, and I think he deserves credit for it. You're just stealing his quotes from under him, and that's not nice.

And since you never answered me in the other thread, the answer is Jimmy Carter.

If you look I edited my reply. I'm not claiming that quote as my own but I do agree with him on it. It was also posted in both of the Chicago papers, that is how I saw it. Do you think it is possible someone else thought to ask that same question?

What about Jimmy Carter? Powell endorsed him to negotiate with HAMAS?

You asked what quotes you'd lifted straight from Rush. That was lifted straight from Rush. You asked for an answer and you got it.

In regards to Jimmy Carter, if you remember you asked what white liberals Colin Powell has supported for President. And the answer is Jimmy Carter when he ran for and was elected President.

unsung · October 2008

Ok so the last white liberal Powell endorsed ran about 33 years ago. Thanks for clearing that up.

I see why he hasn't endorsed any since.

Sorry if you've got egg on your face, but you asked for an answer and you got one. He's supported liberals in the past and he's doing it again. You've said you're voting third party, so I suppose you can sympathize with his feeling that the Republican Party has strayed from what attracted him to it in the first place.

And you had another post in the same thread that said

"another black person voting for Obama, what a surprise"

Something along those lines, you removed or edited it though so I can't pull the exact quote. The implication is Powell is only supporting Obama because his race, even though he gave legitimate reasons why he's supporting supporting Obama. That's directly out of the Rush Limbaugh playbook:

http://www.politico.com/blogs/jonathanmartin/1008/Limbaugh_Where_are_the_inexperienced_white_liberals_Powell_has_endorsed.html?showall

It's not just Limbaugh making that stupid argument there are others as well agreeing with him. Then when someone here actually names a liberal he supported, you dismiss it because it was 30 years ago.
Didn't Powell endorse McCain in 2000 and Bush in the 2000 general election? If he's so racist as you and others are saying, why would he endorse those white men? Another way to look at it, how many black men running for president has Powell endorsed in the past? Did he endorse Sharpton, Jackson, or Alan Keyes (a black republican) when they had their presidential campaigns? Applying your logic he would have endorsed them because of their race.

I'm not arguing, but why were the troops that were deployed to afghanistan and iraq lacking sufficient equipment?

b/c we didn't have any money for adequate protection (don't forget the bush administration CUT the military's hazardous duty pay and family separation allowance before invading iraq, too!)

that tax money was set aside for no bid contracts and then bonuses for those companies even after it was proven they committed fraud in their billing and other horrendous shit like feeding our troops spoiled meat, contaminated drinking water....

How would voting Republican HELP the troops? Help them by keeping them in Iraq longer? That's what will happen under a Republican admin. I saw a poll a couple years ago where 60-70% of troops wanted to withdrawl from Iraq. Nevermind who they are voting for, find me a recent poll of a majority of troops that want to stay.

There's plenty of reports of troops paying their own armor, at least over 12% returning with PTSD (which Cindy McCain implied was due to them not being trained properly) high numbers of troop suicide, troops coming home to homelessness, and the Walter Reed scandal, all under the Republican admin of the past 8 years. You can go to the IAVA website (Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America) and read about all these issues:

http://www.iava.org/press-center (very bottom of the page)

you can also watch this video of Paul Rieckhoff, an Iraqi vet and executive director of IAVA, speaking about John McCain's poor voting record on veteran's issues.

So how would voting for Republicans HELP the troops again?
