    so ... how many think at least 50% of the American audience is already watching old Tivo'd episodes of Dancing with the Stars by now?

  • This is incredibly frustrating. Very passive aggressive responses. "Maybe Arizona..." Just fucking say it. Grow a pair. Say what you mean.

    I've decided that I refuse to vote for any grown man who can't say what he means. I think that's a new key criterion for me. If you can't say, "hey, McCain/Obama is wrong about this. He's lying to you. Here's why." Or, "Obama/McCain is a shady fucking dude and here's why I think so..." doesn't get to be the President.

    Also, next person to say "that's a fundamental difference between me and ______," has to take a five minute time out and consult a thesaurus.

    Here's what I don't like about Obama's health plan:

    "If you already have health coverage, you can keep yours ..."

    Well, thanks. I get mine through my company. You think my company is going to continue to pay for health benefits when the government is giving it away for free?

    Uh, no. They are going to see it as a prime way to cut costs, and out it goes.

    So I'm going to end up with some crappy government plan wherein I get to wait in line for six days in order to get my massive head wound sewn up. But, hey, it's free!

    And yes comrade, you will get your head wound sewn up at the People's Hospital, by a Dr. that went to the People's college, who makes just as much as the janitor in the People's hospital.

    Socialism doesn't work, as the saying goes "it spreads misery equally".

    Kids spread all sorts of Socialist/Communist propaganda at my school. Have they no idea that it doesn't work? I know we got our problems with our government, but our system is still better then anything socialist.

    Can any name me a TRUE socialist Government that works? Big Government is a bad idea no matter how you cut it.

    But thats my 2 cents...not worth much.

    Watching people's heads getting cut off on Youtube will make you ill as well. Maybe they will stop if we give them a big hug?

    McCain saying he stood up to Reagan about Lebanon where we lost 300 only highlights that he DIDN'T stand up to Bush on Iraq where we've lost close to 5,000 (not to mention the 1M Iraqis)
