i don't personally care who the president is -- i hope they don't suck too much but whatever. i do care about my money tho, and i've put my money on mccain. ohio and florida, that's where this comes down to. obama is not a man for those states.

many hillary supporters have been polled showing a move to mccain rather than barak. barak is a far left minority candidate without a very clear platform. it comes down to ohio and florida, nearly all the other states are determined no matter who the candidates are. barak is weak in ohio and florida, mccain is strong there. i've made my bets, and we'll see how this all plays out.

in terms of the presidential election i don't see how barak can beat mccain. as it always does it will all come down to florida and ohio. barak is weak in both of these places. mccain is a war hero and barak is a young charmer thin on the big issues. couple that with how weak barak was vs clinton in those states and how his wife will hurt his image as a true american. barak is very very strong with blacks, young urban voters, college kids, and the odd issues candidate. those are all people the republicans didn't have a shot with in the first place. i could see him getting a huge turnout in mass, ca, wisconsin, but losing ohio, florida, and thus the election.

yup. we have our biases and preferences, it's just that simple. it (race issues) gets treated like even mentioning it is a horrible unconscionable thing to do. some voters would prefer a white candidate, some prefer a black candidate. we've know this forever is it really such a bad thing?

people have racial preferences, the same we they have preferences for everything else. the idea that people will ever be color blind is foolish. while race will obviously be an issue, religion (the pracher for obama) and age (mccain is a bit old, obama is a bit young) will be bigger issues. hoping that race isn't an issue as an attempt to say what is wrong with the world is just too PC.

you're 12 and haven't heard of sarcasm. it's the only possibility.

that's on hbo right?

alone??!!? he had george mutha effin wilson beside him. and what about greer, king, and kiwanuka? i can name all of those players off the top of my head. sure they might not be "nfl quality" and are one roster move away from "being out of football", but on these boards those guys are equal to, nay, BETTER THAN clements who is getting 80 million a year (more i think, there's bonuses and stuff, it's complicated). less than 1 (zero actually) corners in the nfl are worth more than league minimum. you win with o line, not with any other position.

with NE in our division and our horrible pass d last year you think the best corner in the draft doesn't fit a need. But ... oh wait ... you said corners don't help pass D. i forgot, the drugs. well good luck with that!

lott = best ever. there is a whole lot of elite room before you get to the best ever. also JUST LIKE YOUR SUPER FAVORITE POSITION O LINE much of the good stuff secondary players do goes unnoticed. not getting thrown at is the highest compliment to a cover guy.

farkas was played by a canadian. true story.

AND WE SHOULD SCREAM ABOUT IT!!! ANIMALS!!!11

THOSE BASTARDS!!!! how dare they

people without skills for a worthy job have not lost a worthy job, they've lost a sh1tty job that is better done overseas. since you agree with that (as per the part of your post i bolded) do you have something to say about america's trade with china that might be considered negative?

all that matters is stats, or in the case of guys like bob sanders being loved in the media. ow every non lineman is a write off. db's are totally replacable, none have ever made a real contribution to a pro football team. back up left tackles are worth the 11th over all pick tho. oh, and dbs don't help the pass d

they can get new jobs. and the vast majority have (you read the comment about low unemployment right?). things that can be done cheaper and better in another place should be done cheaper and better in another place. not really that complicated.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm, nafta = bad because of the chrony capitalism and regulations involved. trade is a GOOD thing, to the extend that nafta bolsters trade that is good. trade with china is a good thing for america, products are much much cheaper because of it. we also have a luxo market (where regular goods, bags, coffee, phones, you name it) are luxurized (not a word) because people have so much disposable income. those goods are getting backed off of with the current economic downturn, but walmart and such are selling MORE goods as americans swtich back downmarket. this is interesting because it used to be people would do without and companies would really feel a pinch, but now it is more of a case of people just not blowing as much on the same goods. so ross perot was kinda right that nafta had bad things about it, but the trade itself is awesome. also it's not like america has high unemployment by any stretch. sub 5% even in today's state. america doesn't need most of the jobs that get exported. having china scramble to be america's cheap goods producer is good.

they are fine being here. it's the paying for stuff that's bad!

hahahah I DON'T WANT TO HIT AN INNOCENT BILLS FAN, BUT I WILL IF I HAVE TOO!!!!11 *PATS ARE KNOWN FOR SPYING, WE CAN'T LET ONE OF THEM GET IN HERE!!!

rj did play better than jp, with a lesser line as well. jp suffers from injuries and frequent sacks, just like rj did. jp is also a turnover machine and for the longest time would put up less than 100 yards more often than not, and rj never lost his job due to bad play, but only due to injury. jp loses out to bad play a bunch.

i missed that! he didn't mention that not spending every draft pick on a lineman or having more than 1 corner on your team was idiotic, so didn't check for anything else!!

you're not.... a pats* fan... are you? *slowl drifts into chest kick stance*

www.dictionary.com + irony = :>

if they go down, and bellycheat gets trashed, i am going to be so happy it will be insane. i will be throwing spinning back kicks into the faces and chests of known or suspected pats fans all damn day!!

if the problem is money the solution isn't necessarily education bill. while it is true (and i've banged that drum) that university educations are largely required for decent paying jobs in this country, student loans subsidizing more and more graduates just extend that problem. there are too many good places to live and get ahead in america for there to be a caste system in place. americans might have to move to get ahead, but that's a small price to pay if you really want it.
