If the president cannot change the constitution, did it cross your 'mind' that the VP cannot change the constitution?
If it makes no difference to you that hussien doesn't support the constitution 100% then why do you care if Palin knows the 1st ammendment?
Knowledge of the Constitution would prove that a candidate has at least a modicum of intelligence, that's why it's important.
And another thing, why is it that you constantly refer to Obama as "hussien"? First, you're spelling it wrong. It's Hussein. Second, there's clearly no reason to do so unless you're intending the effect of casting him in a negative light by pointing out his Muslim sounding name.

Yet it is these same people who mindlessly claim that George Bush violates the constitution with 'his' patriot act.
I think these people are more than a little bit confused.
Just because Bush is incapable of changing the Constitution doesn't mean he isn't capable of violating it! How stupid are you? Are you actually under the impression that the Patriot Act is in the Constitution?

He can't.
But it is the president who appoints supreme court justices.
Were you aware of that ?
And it's not the Supreme Court justices that approve amendments to the Constitution, it's Congress. The Supreme Court merely interprets the wording of the document.
Were you aware of that?

Since when can the President unilaterally change the Constitution?
Barack's going to break into the national hall of records and scribble new amendments in crayon and then white out the second amendment.

How pathetic is this? He's my starting TE on my fantasy team due to the injury to LJ Smith. Not that he's any fuggin hero either.
My recieving corps leaves something to be desired. Eddie Royal is my number one WR this week. I'm scrambling to get Avery but it's going to cost me some cash.
I've got Eddie Royal on my team too. I drafted him in the second to last round and couldn't be happier about it. But I've also got Santonio Holmes and Matt Jones who have both gotten into trouble with the law this year, and I have them backed up with Kevin Walter (actually doing very well). My WR is situation is sketchy at best.

Some people on this board have said he is nothing more than a very good #2. What do you think now?
Those are just idiots who assume that a wide receiver who is shorter than average could never be a number 1. They apparently have never heard of Steve Smith or Santana Moss. Evans has always been one of the more potent deep threats in the NFL and over the last two games I think he has been proving himself capable of being a valuable possession receiver at times as well.
Frankly it's nice to see a player receive a sizeable chunk of cash and then start earning the money right away.

King of the Hill is awful. I have no idea how it lasted as long as it did
It's Fox, they saved King of the Hill but cancelled Arrested Development. I wouldn't put anything past them.

I didn't defend Palin, in fact I cannot because I'm not aware of her comment on the 1st ammendment.
Where did you see me defend Palin or Palin's knowledge?
Not only would I not support any candidate that doesn't know the constitution inside and out, I would not support any candidate who has any intention other than to uphold every iota of the constitution.
That rules out obama.
He has openly stated his willingness, possibly his agenda, to change the constitution.
What I did was point out the hypocracy of people who have thier noses up their messiah's azz.
Let me ask you these questions
1.When you criticize Fox for who they endorse are you suggesting that hussien obama is an astute candidate ?
If so how do you justify supporting a candidate who isn't aware of how many states there are?
2. In your opinion ,which is worse a candidate who you claim doesn't know the constitution or a candidate who openly states his willingness and a possible desire to change the constitution?
3. We don't know exactly what obama has in mind when he refers to his willingness to change the constitution of the United States, because he doesn't disclose it.
We DO know that he supports measures to interfere with the right to bear arms.
That is in violation of the constitution.
Can you tell us if YOU are aware of that, and can YOU tell us which ammendment it violates?
4. If you are ok with violating the constitution then why is it so important to you for a VP candidate to know the constitution?
That seems hypocritical to me.
So could you explain that to us, if that is in fact your position.
Ummm, actually bub, the Constitution gets changed all the time. They're called amendments. 17 amendments have been added to the Constitution since the Bill of Rights was written. So a candidate "who openly states his willingness and a possible desire to change the constitution" is not a big deal at all. But inform me, how exactly does Obama plan to alter the Constitution? He's made no statements about it that I'm aware of.

Barack wins by about 6% in the popular vote, which will translate to an absolute landslide in the electoral. I say he gets 355 votes.

Finally!
What an awful show King of the Hill was. I'll admit I only watched it maybe 5 times, but I can't ever remember even chuckling once. Good riddance. Unfortunately, American Dad blows too.
-
Absolutely none of the above. Most of the female sportscasters look way too masculine(Hannah Storm). Got they're jobs cause they know someone up top.
Or because they are good at sports broadcasting?

he didnt get much action until 2nd half after shockey went down. and he made several important catches in the suer bowl ... something that defies the rule of thumb for rookies taking forever to learn the "pro" game. it was the calibar of his play that afforded gmen the ability to dump shockey in offseason
I'm not disagreeing with you that he impressed some people last year, but he's only got 118 yards so far this season and we're just about half way done. The fact that the NYG were considering the Gonzales deal means that the team isn't exactly sold on him yet.
-
still dont understand why it takes so long to make transition to pros. if all you do is study football how hard is it? that there are several players at every position that have made a contribution as rookies proves it can be done ... colston WR, Rothlesber QB, peterson RB, willis LB, Boss TE, etc etc ... i just think maybe the success stories worked harder than others. it can be done
If I'm not mistaken, Kevin Boss had about 10 receptions during his rookie campaign and isn't exactly lighting up the scoreboard this year.

I'm still waiting for the anti-Whitner people to come out of the woodwork on this thread.

Man, I wish I could have grasped that advice when I was younger. Unfortunately, when I was younger, you were a stupid !@#$ and I was smarter than anyone who tried to teach me anything. I knew all and you knew jack shiit.
Damn shame. Waste of time on my side. Instead of thinking I was smarter, I could have spent the time learning how to be smarter.
Noted and I do appreciate the advice. The young certainly have much to learn from those who have seen and done more. Isaac Newton once said "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulder of giants."
But would you at least concede the point that maybe, just maybe, the young have something to teach the old as well? Like I said, different perspectives entirely. There is always more to learn.

He says many different things ,whatever the situation calls for. Plain and simple Obama is a fraud by thet I mean a creation of the media , that should be obvious.
All politicians are creations of the media, at least to some extent. If Obama is a fraud for that reason, then McCain is a fraud as well. A candidate would NEVER survive a presidential race (or any other race for that matter) without the help of the media.

Your comments about your vast life experience (you're 19 for god's sake and my TV's older than you) and about how Cornell isn't Ithaca and your snobbery about Cornell shows your lack of maturity (I am not saying immature because you just haven't lived enough yet. ). Don't make broad , sweeping statements, because you just haven't experienced enough life yet.
Why didn't you say you did charity work overseas instead of just saying that you traveled around?
I never said I "just travelled around", I believe that at one point I listed the countries I've been to but didn't get into specifics. I've never felt the need to flaunt it, but since you called me out and painted me as some privileged son of wealth, I felt the need to correct you.
And ok, I'm being a snob. I'm aware of that and I realize it probably makes me look like a pretty big douchebag. But please take a look in the mirror if you want to criticize me making broad, sweeping statements. How many people on this board stereotype liberals, conservates, Dems, Repubs, with broad sweeping statements?
When has one lived enough life to have their own opinion? Yes, with age comes wisdom. But with youth, there is a unique, unfiltered, and valuable outlook on life that one loses with the hardships of aging. The young are more often idealists, and while impractical, the viewpoint of an idealist provides a benchmark for what society should and could become.
There are stark differences between the young and the old. We view life through completely different lenses and both perspectives are worthwhile. That's my take, anyway.

somebody is taking himself a bit too seriously at age 20.

princeton? probably
stanford? yes

Get over yourself.
No.
And are you saying that what I said is untrue? The best universities in America engender the most influential people, that's not opinion, that's fact.
-
Get over it .You are indeed anal retentive. You were not even a teenager when it happened , or a very young one. You should join the military to get a perspective on life . Talking to other snot nosed college students only gives you an idea on winning at beer pong. The issue isnt being exploited on either side of the fence , it was real. And while we are at it shove your ageism.
Of course it was real! That doesn't mean politicians aren't exploiting it for their own gain. When you hear a politician say something alike to "Vote for me because I'll vote to increase national security and make sure we don't experience another 9/11", he doesn't really give a flying f*ck about you or your family and friends, he's just trying to get elected. That's called exploitation.
Oh and all of us "snot noses" up here at Cornell will be the most among the most influential people in the country and the world soon enough. They say be nice to the nerds, because they will some day be your boss and oh isn't it true?
By the way, do you know what anal retentive means? Because you are using it entirely out of context here.

From what I gather, he's a Sophomore at Cornell and got to travel with or because of his rich parents. That's his life experience so far.
My parents aren't rich. They're a meteorologist and an accountant who make about $100,000 a year combined, which I believes puts us at middle class. I'm putting myself through college because we don't get much financial aid and I also work 15 hours a week in a deli. I've gotten to travel because my parents saved money very well and I joined groups performing charity work abroad.
And I don't know why you all seem to hold my going to Cornell with a negative connotation. Are you just jealous? In fact, I'd venture to say that you hold college students in low regard in general. Worried that I'll be your boss some day?

Ya those Ivy league voters are to dumb to vote with their brains.
Stanford isn't Ivy League...

I mean seriously, about 3,000 people were murdered that day right? Well about 100,000 people have been murdered in the US since then, but do we hear about reducing the crime rate? No, we just hear about how we're going to prevent another 9/11 and how if we vote for *insert opposing candidate here*, we're not paying enough respect to the victims of 9/11 and blah blah blah 9/11 blah blah blah 9/11.
9/11, it happened, get over it.
-
Healing process? People get on with their lives, or they don't. What sort of misguided government-sponsored "healing process" is the next president supposed to implement?
God, I'm tired of hearing about 9/11. Both sides of the fence exploit the issue so much and I am just sick and tired of it. It was 7 years ago people, time to move on.
The Middle Class is Now $120,000 and Under!!!

Oh yea? How's that?
