  1. I think the main issue is the "not in my backyard" argument. Who wants a nuclear plant or an oil refinery built in their neighborhood. And the questionable government oversight of industries lately makes the public nervous about whether they would be built according to guidelines.
  2. Because the wives aren't voting on this poll.
  3. Anybody from either side who votes for their candidate primarily because of their ethnicity is a racist. I don't buy the excuse that blacks voting for a black candidate because he's black isn't racist because of historical oppression. If they do that, they're discriminating against the non-black. It applies both ways. That doesn't mean all blacks voting for Obama are racist, or all whites voting for McCain are racist. But the one's voting primarily because of race are.
  4. They're treating the first one like a Mulligan, and restarting
  5. Pulp Fiction John Travolta Samuel L. Jackson Uma Thurman Bruce Willis Harvey Keitel Tim Roth Amanda Plummer Maria de Medeiros Ving Rhames Eric Stoltz Rosanna Arquette Christopher Walken
  6. The first Hulk was good until the final Nick Nolte transformation into something that isn't even in the comic and didn't make sense. It would have been better if they had the Abomination in that picture for the final fight.
  7. The policies are more important than the candidate. I have to support the person who's more likely to enact the policies I want, even if they're not my first choice.
  8. I never supported Obama in the primaries.
  9. It's ironic that a poll on racism offers Oriental as an option, which is an offensive term to Asians.
  10. Unfortunately, Dick Cheney felt the need to act before 9/11, but just needed an excuse.
  11. And the people from Michigan were just passing through and uncommitted about where they were going, but they were counted as going to Obama's rally.
  12. A guy says to a bartender, "I know a guy with one leg named Pete". Bartender says, "What does he call his other leg?". A guy walking on the beach sees a woman with no arms or legs lying there crying. He asks "What's wrong?". She says, "I'm upset that I've never been kissed". So he bends down and kisses her. She starts crying even more. "Now what's wrong?", he asks. She says, "I've never been f###ed". So the guy picks her up, tosses her into the ocean, and yells, "There, you're f###ed now!".
  13. Nobody uses wood hockey sticks anymore, they're all composite. Blame major league baseball.
  14. Sorry but we're in Syracuse. And I'd have to charge $10 to cover gas. But he even said he wouldn't mind using a manual push mower like my mother has.
  15. For the amount of lawn that's being cut, and the fact they're in the neighborhood anyways, it's a bit high. Get some other estimates for comparison. Any teens in the area who'd do it? I pay my son $5 to cut the front and back of our house.
  16. Burqa King - Have it the Mullah's way, or else Taco Bomb - Run for the border, quickly Krispy Kurd Donuts Little Mullah's Pizza - Allah, Allah
  17. I said I would give up when she did, but I'd stick with her until she made the decision. I took my bumper sticker off my car this morning.
  18. Because I know you all care............ Dear Joseph, I wanted you to be one of the first to know: on Saturday, I will hold an event in Washington D.C. to thank everyone who has supported my campaign. Over the course of the last 16 months, I have been privileged and touched to witness the incredible dedication and sacrifice of so many people working for our campaign. Every minute you put into helping us win, every dollar you gave to keep up the fight meant more to me than I can ever possibly tell you. On Saturday, I will extend my congratulations to Senator Obama and my support for his candidacy. This has been a long and hard-fought campaign, but as I have always said, my differences with Senator Obama are small compared to the differences we have with Senator McCain and the Republicans. I have said throughout the campaign that I would strongly support Senator Obama if he were the Democratic Party's nominee, and I intend to deliver on that promise. When I decided to run for president, I knew exactly why I was getting into this race: to work hard every day for the millions of Americans who need a voice in the White House. I made you -- and everyone who supported me -- a promise: to stand up for our shared values and to never back down. I'm going to keep that promise today, tomorrow, and for the rest of my life. I will be speaking on Saturday about how together we can rally the party behind Senator Obama. The stakes are too high and the task before us too important to do otherwise. I know as I continue my lifelong work for a stronger America and a better world, I will turn to you for the support, the strength, and the commitment that you have shown me in the past 16 months. And I will always keep faith with the issues and causes that are important to you. In the past few days, you have shown that support once again with hundreds of thousands of messages to the campaign, and again, I am touched by your thoughtfulness and kindness. I can never possibly express my gratitude, so let me say simply, thank you. Sincerely, Hillary Rodham Clinton
  19. Once Obama appeared to have a viable chance, it turned into Obamamania. It began in Iowa, not near the end. And everything about Hillary this week has been negative; why doesn't she get out, why didn't she acknowledge him as the winner, what does she want, she's hurting the party. Just because she got coverage doesn't mean it was positive. They wanted her out of the way as much as the Obama supporters. Now even if she endorses him, the questions will be, what deal did she cut, will she campaign vigorously for him, why did she wait so long, will she undermine him so he loses. I know you don't like her, but get real about the media coverage.
  20. I don't see how it could be allowed to occur or continue if a President Obama wanted to end it. It would have to be a treaty that was voted on by the Congress, and I've heard Democrats in the Senate say they would never agree to it. A president can't make an agreement without the consent of the Congress that ties the hands of the next president.
  21. I'm not asking that they pick my candidate. I just don't want them favoring any candidate. I realize that some of the networks aren't objective, but unfortunately there are people out there who will believe whatever they say without considering the other side of the issue. I watch FoxNews to get their slant as well as MSNBC and CNN's slant. But many people just watch the stations that repeat what they want to hear.
  22. If they had ruled in favor of the sports leagues, I would have gone back to my original method of running my fantasy football league. I used the statistics printed in the USAToday and calculated the scores and standings in an Excel spreadsheet that I would send out to the league members.
  23. They must be taking a cue from Iraq where the ethnic neighborhoods have been divided with large barriers. Instead of spreading democracy to Iraq, we're importing segregation from Iraq.
  24. Imagine the outrage if the roles were reversed, and Hillary didn't include Obama on the ticket. Obama supporters would be crying over racism and how he earned his place on the ticket. Party leaders would be pushing her to pick him for the sake of party unity.
  25. They can do what they want, but they should be honest and not pretend to be objective. Just yesterday Pat Buchanan challenged "tinglely leg" Chris Matthews that he and many in the media favored Obama over Clinton, and Matthews took offense and dismissed it as Republican talking points. Anyone who's watched Matthews and Olbermann know they want Obama, but they deny it when confronted.
