  1. So vote 3rd party. Theres bad stuff to say about McCain, as he (like the other two) are typical politicians. McCain loves to talk about balancing the budget, but the numbers don't add up. McCain positions himself as in the middle, but he votes overwhelmingly with the Republicans (as much as any other hardcore Republican). Barak [sic] believes that he can put some states into play that otherwise wouldn't be. I'll believe it when I see it, though. So is McCain. The push within the GOP to hope/support Hillary is to extend the election. The longer it goes on, the better it is for the Republicans. BTW, read this. Look at all of the current polling, and it becomes pretty clear that Clinton is the tougher candidate for McCain than Obama.
  2. O RLY... its funny you think that, as its up to the superdelegates to force this race to end.
  3. In LSI fashion...
  4. I understand your overall point, but I did think it was amusing that you seemingly managed to blame illegal immigration for increasing tuition costs. Here in Texas, we have had one of the largest (if not the largest) tuition increases in the country recently. My tuition shot wayyy up from when I was a freshman to when I graduated in December. Here, the Texas legislature first decided to slash the amount of funds they were giving to the institutions, including UT, and then set the tuition rates higher. Then, they decided to slash the funds even more, but also to deregulate tuition, allowing the UT board of regents to set tuition prices. As a result, all of the costs that were previously going to tax payers were now going directly to the students. This could be a good thing (making the people who actually use the service pay for it rather than all tax payers in the state pay for it), but taxation levels within the state didn't go down - they just put that money to other uses.
  5. As if the system being broke is mostly due to that.
  6. lol, Bill found a way to tie this back to immigration.
  7. I don't think McCain should renounce either actually, I just thought you were trying to stretch the same logic to McCain that I used with Obama.
  8. You don't see any difference between an enemy endorsing you and a citizen endorsing you?
  9. Which raises another question: Should he even acknowledge Hamas by renouncing the endorsement? Doing so would validate that Hamas might have some effect on the American campaign, and provide them with more power than if he just ignores it...
  10. Fascinating that you keep knocking the Dems for their superdelegates without talking about the Republican ones. And even still, the political parties are PRIVATE entities. As such, they can make the rules however they damned well please. I would have thought a hard-core Republican supporter could appreciate that.
  11. It strengthens her only shot in hell (the argument that she'd be a better candidate than Obama, and that he couldn't win). The Democrats will likely ignore that argument for other reasons (even if it is the correct one), but it is helping her.
  12. http://www.dvdshrink.org/ DVD Shrink is still actively being developed (and has support for DVDs that DVD Decrypter can no longer remove the encryption from). It also will shrink the DVDs to a single layer.
  13. Really? Moving Indiana from a deadlock to whats looking like a Clinton victory, and NC from being down 20 points to being down 7 points or so isn't making up any ground?
  14. So, one single poll, which covers the entire US (frankly useless) indicates anything? (By the way, the other two polls released today both had McCain on top)
  15. At least with the moldy one you know what you are getting.
  16. Great! So now we've established that your reply didn't actually reply to the post you quoted.
  17. Which is a result of him not being in politics for all that long.
  18. No need, look at his campaign tactics.
  19. Keep on thinkin Obama is somehow different.
  20. Everything I know about this situation makes me think the cops were indeed justified, but the idea that the public shouldn't look at the cops in this situation (who are paid by their tax dollars and charged to protect them) with scrutiny unless they've been a cop themselves is wrong. Should people not do the same to politicians, judges, sports players, etc? A much better argument is AD's, which is to not look judgmentally at it without all of the information involved.
  21. What kind of grass is it?
  22. Gotcha. I'd actually prefer her over Obama. He wants to raise taxes more than Hilldog does, and I'd rather have a politician that admits they're a politician than one who doesn't.
