DIBS–congrats on the Phighting Phills! They are my team at this point too.
Thanks Wasder, I’m clueless about video games but now I get it.
And IronBalls (again, not sure if there’s any point to even asking), how may I ask would you respond to my questions about McCain? Even many conservatives have been appalled by his devastating choice of Palin, which reflects a broader recklessness that is terrifying.
“i for one am not of the mind that the What has won.”
Dave–I myself am struggling with how to express the fact that I acknowledge that many things went down in some fashion or another in the manner in which he suggested while not giving credence to the twisted world view that underpins his hatred. But in the end I agree–the can’t win by definition because winning an argument means you have a defensible argument to begin with.
Ms. Muffet…I feel for you and I think we finally agree on a lot.
I feel very lucky that we live in a city and state, where it doesn’t matter that there are a few “Ironballs” out there. We’ve got Obama’s back in New York. I saw on the cnn map that a larger percentage of people support Obama in New York state than any other!
Let’s just hope more of us vote country-wide as well. It’s time to allow the educated population of this country take a turn at having a say in running the country, and not a bunch of “folks” who could possibly think Sarah Palin is a good runner up to rule what was the greatest country in the world before Bush AND CHENEY got a hold if it.
And for chrissake, IronBalls, to suggest that I am just swayed by Obama’s “good looks” etc. is just plain insulting. I think the triumph of personality over substance (people “not liking” kerry/gore enough in past elections, relative to the seemingly affable, but ultimately mean-spirited, bush) is part of the complex tragedy that led us to this debacle.
sixyearsandcounting,
You’re wrong.
Obama’s plan to raise taxes on families and businesses that make over 250k a year will cost millions of jobs and prolong The Great Depression II for years.
His promises to create hundreds of thousands of union jobs in alternative energy are totally absurd.
Emperor Obama has no clothes, but, unfortunately for this country, just like George Bush, folks won’t realize it until it’s too late.
Miss Muffett: Tybur6 is referencing a popular video game, common in Williamsburg bars called Big Buck Hunter. This and the fact that they like to wear old (vintage) clothing he thinks makes them most prepared for the lawless future that some seem to be predicting. Very dry wit and appreciated by me.
IronBalls – it might be a waste of time to engage in a debate with you, but I don’t see how you can with a straight face call Obama’s agenda “socialist” when the current administration’s policies, which McCain supported 90% of the time, have led to the greatest nationalization of the American economy ever. And our economy is *already* ruined, thanks to the disastrous rein of Bush, which again, McCain has largely supported. How will a tax increase on a very tiny percentage of our population be worse then McCain’s huge tax cuts to huge corporations? And as Obama will have repeat til he’s blue in the face, he’s also calling for major tax CUTS for 95% of Americans.
And yes, 11217 is right that there is more to life for sure than money and real estate though I do worry about the kind of government that runs this country since I want a good future for my children – for ALL children – and I find it so tragic what has happened under Bush. McCain is no maverick – he wants, in large part, more of the same. How on earth can that be good for us?
Honestly, Ironballs, I have a very difficult time imagining that ANY President could possibly do as much damage to this country (and the world) than the one who is CURRENTLY in office.
ANYTHING will be an improvement over this.
