    I refrain from supporting Obama mostly because of his fans.

    To be clear I am laughing at the sign in the top right.

    The way I see it is, do I want to be associated with stupid, evil, fundamentalist republicans, or stupid, reactionary, pretentious democrats? Even though the latter is just as fucking retarded, at least they're not effectively stormtroopers commanded by Emperor Palpatine. Because McCaine reminds me of emperor palpatine.

    Where would Karl Rove fit, in that analogy?

    You know that dude standing the barrel of the death star's planet destroying cannon? The one with the silly hat who hits the button?

    That's him.

    I, too am voting for McCain because an old lady in a picture does not understand how ironic her sign is.

    Try again Bibble.

    Ron Paul is the true call.

    are you fucking serious

    No, I am not supporting McCain either. I just get all uneasy about Obama and how quickly his followers accept so much of what he says.

    its cool that you rate candidates based on their supporters instead of the person actually running for office, good on you

    Until the day when we live in an absolute, direct democracy this will be a totally flawed viewpoint. Followers really just represent a numerical necessity, since the average person doesn't give two fucks about anything outside of a presidential election, if they've even summoned the initiative for that.

    This election is really like the exact opposite as 04, for me

    I really hated both candidates in 2004. Kerry was terrible and even halfway in everyone knew how inept Bush was.

    This time around I really rather like both candidates, though that may be because I'm hoping if McCain wins he will suddenly revert to the '00 McCain I fell in love with.

    Yeah, really. I would not mind '00 McCain at all as president. But I think he's too far gone now.

    Ayup. My feelings towards McCain were, at best, mildly venomous prior to him picking Palin, but that choice has totally cemented my hatred for him and his campaign.

    Actually the biggest thing I have about Obama is he seems to promise too much and wants a drastically bigger government.

    Nah it was way before that. Even back in like 06 you could tell he'd strayed pretty far off the straight talk express. You could tell very early on he was going to put his hat in the ring in 08 when he stopped being the party renegade.

    So that advertisement is a blatant fabrication? There's gotta be some sort of reality they're basing that "comprehensive sexual education" line on, or else I am just going to be totally disillusioned.

    Basically call for education for students k-12 to include how to look our for sexual predators and what to do if somebody touches you in the wrong place. "Comprehensive" came from the fact the rest of the bill talks about teaching HIV-AIDS prevention to Kids Middle School and above. So the plan enacts a change in sex education from K to 12th grade.

    Also, Obama supported it, didn't sponsor it. And it also didn't ultimately pass.

    Oh, wow. Not only is that incredibly dishonest, it's pathetic - they're really grasping at fucking straws over in the McCain camp.

    The worst thing is, though, I bet it's incredibly goddamn effective. I'm sure there are shitholes everywhere worried about how we might elect a pederast now.

    kindergarten starts at like 5 or 6 or something. I learned to read before I went to school but I don't really know how it happened, I kinda taught myself.

    you'd think I'd be some supergenius but my smart kid days ended before I even went to school.
