Yes, we can.

Oh, and every time GC has a negative post, I'm going to post this to counteract it:

Obama is going to win, because we won't let him lose.

I don't think I've been one to do that, but OK. I'll be sure to stop posting things I find amusing.

By the way, regardless of what happens in the election, I will not be whining or gloating. I realize that since a vast majority of this board is pro Obama, so I'm not going to ask the same of anyone else because most will be together in their disappointment or excitement, but you will probably see me disappear for a few weeks regardless of the outcome.

It means that you are worried about swiftboating and the like, and this kind of tiny crap leads up to big crap, because when the big smear comes, people buy it more if they've heard 6 or 7 hundred small smears in the last few weeks. Sorry I wasn't clear.

Yes, that's exactly what I said.

Hmm, I'm sure I have an insulting thing I can say about your candidates around here somewhere, and I can tack on that I personally don't feel this way, but hey, everyone read this.....*pulls open drawers*.....hmmm.....*riffles through folders*.....ah, yes, here are a few thousand I can use.....


Oh wait. I don't want to do that anymore.


Now, off to another thread to debate where candidates stand on an issue.




ETA - heh, I meant this thread, jeez, the action is fast here

Well....please show me the way to repentance. CP has spoken. Who am I to disagree with CP or question CP or post something CP might find offensive?

If I was so thin skinned that I couldn't listen to insults hoisted at the politicians I support I can gaurantee I would not be a participant in this forum. I am a member of a very small right leaning minority and insults and hate and spite have been thrown around with no problem in their direction, often times wishing for death and/or physical harm. However, let me quote something a candidate said that you don't think is important and I have apparently crossed some arbitrary line of acceptable behavior.

Your lectures are of no interest.
