Political bashing thread
 
We should just keep all this crap in one spot rather than making new threads every time. So post all your left and right wing propaganda in this thread. Name calling, racist slurs, yo momma jokes all allowed. This is America!

Hey, pick someone who has basically ZERO experience at the job or someone who has been there-done that. Easy enough?

Yup, been there done that. Most of this is hyperbolic and I didn't verify any of it, but it just feels right and that's good enough for this thread. Actually, I did look into him finishing near the bottom of his class, 894/899. So yeah, he's been there.

Here's McCain's past in a nutshell:

* Grew up in a prominent rightwing Navy family and was indoctrinated in naval dominance of the globe
* Went to Annapolis and ranked at the very bottom of his class because he resented authority
* Went to Vietnam and crashed several planes
* Spent 6 years as a POW and "broke" under torture
* Came home and dumped the wife who raised his children while he was away and nursed him back to health on his return
* Married a much younger woman who was heir to a mobbed-up Budweiser fortune
* Worked in his in-laws' business traveling across Arizona building a base for his political career
* Used his in-laws' money to get elected to the House as an anti-abortion, "pro-family" candidate
* Worked his way up from the House to the Senate by being a loyal right-wing Republican
* As a Senator, got caught helping Charles Keating deregulate S&L's, which cost taxpayers $200 billion, and was censured by the Senate
* Promised never to do favors for lobbyists again
* Ran for President in 2000 as a reformer and won New Hampshire
* Got crushed in South Carolina after he called Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell "agents of intolerance" and they fired back with a pro-Bush smear campaign that McCain had an "illegitimate black child" - actually a dark-skinned child (Bridget) adopted from impoverished Bangladesh. Nevertheless, McCain enthusiastically supported Bush both in 2000 and 2004.
* In 2001, he opposed Bush's $1.35 trillion tax giveaway to the rich, but changed his position during the 2007 campaign.
* In 2001, he was so opposed to Bush's far-right policies that he considered becoming a Democrat, but ultimately stayed a Republican and supported Bush's far-right policies
* In 2002, he was a leading advocate for the invasion of Iraq, spent far more time on TV than any other Senator, and wrongly predicted "victory" and "success" every step of the way
* In 2004, he betrayed his friend John Kerry by refusing to defend him against Swift Boat smears
* In 2007, when a supporter asked "How do we beat the bitch," referring to Sen. Hillary Clinton, McCain laughed and called it an "excellent question."
* In 2007, with the U.S. on the brink of attacking Iran, McCain joked by singing "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Bomb Iran."
* In 2008, when caught doing favors for lobbyist Vicki Iseman and her corporate clients, lied about his actions

Sounds like the rant of a scorned woman....

John McCain could also become a cop. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...5AC0A96F958260

Obama could run a socialist country. Badly too I bet.

US would join EU as a Social Democracy..Can't wait for that. Isn't that the reason we left those people in the first place? This country needs another revolution.

A young teenage girl was about to finish her first year of college. She considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat but her father was a rather staunch Republican.

One day she was challenging her father on his beliefs and his opposition to taxes and welfare programs. He stopped her and asked her how she was doing in school.

She answered that she had a 4.0 GPA but it was really tough. She had to study all the time, never had time to go out and party. She didn't have time for a boyfriend and didn't really have many college friends because of spending all her time studying.

He asked, "How is your friend Mary." She replied that Mary was barely getting by. She had a 2.0 GPA, never studied, but was very popular on campus, went to all the parties all the time. Why she often didn't show up for classes because she was hung over.

Dad then asked his daughter why she didn't go to the Dean's office and ask why she couldn't take 1.0 off her 4.0 and give it to her friend who only had a 2.0. That way they would both have a 3.0 GPA.

The daughter angrily fired back, "That wouldn't be fair, I worked really hard for mine and Mary has done nothing".

The father slowly smiled and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party".

"When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." Thomas Jefferson

This government needs to be brought back to it's roots. A Democratic Republic.

One candidate or the other will not bring us what we need.

carl_g 06-11-2008 09:51 PM

Thomas Jefferson was a repulican :)

Kennedy 06-11-2008 10:00 PM

Actually Jefferson believed the core political value of America is representative democracy, citizens have a civic duty to aid the state and resist corruption, especially monarchism and aristocracy. :)

Come to think of it you're right. He was a man who wanted a Republic.
