NASA To Make Big Announcement On May 14th 1PM
PastaJoe replied to Steely Dan's topic in Off the Wall Archives
The internet porn industry should partially finance NASA to thank them for enabling their business to flourish. -
Not hot, she seems like the athletic type chick who would rather run 5 miles than fool around. Alot of prep time to get her primed. Somewhat adrogenous.

Obama's going to drop out next Tuesday after another defeat, this time in Kentucky? It would be pretty embarrassing if Obama loses by double digits even after getting the Edwards endorsement. It makes sense that he would want to get out to avoid the additional embarrassment of losing in Puerto Rico which would once again show his weakness with Hispanics.
-
The difference of course is that I'm willing to state that I'm for Clinton, instead of playing the charade the media is of acting like they aren't supporting Obama while repeatedly giving him positive spin and making excuses for his mistakes in judgement. I can't vote for McCain because he's wrong on policies. The Democrats are right on policies, so I'll have to vote for whoever the nominee is, even if he's not the best choice.

She never said she agreed that Florida and Michigan shouldn't count. The quote that people like Olbermann keep misinterpreting is that she said that those states wouldn't count, which was a correct statement of fact, but not an endorsement of the rule. But the media infer that it means she agreed, when she didn't. Doesn't Obama say "words matter". I can say the Patriots won't face futher punishment for cheating, but that doesn't mean I think they shouldn't.

The Democrat primary/caucus process doesn't represent the will of the majority, as I explained. If it did then the person with the most votes would get all the delegates for that state. The current process reminds me of the Communist saying, "all people are equal, but some people are more equal than others".

The aliens were eaten by the dinosaurs, that's how humans were able to live at the same time as them, the dinosaurs had something else to eat. Unless the supernova is sending some deadly radiation or astroids our way that justifies why the Mayan calender ends in 2012, it seems like this conference was overhyped. -
The point is that they accuse Clinton of making race an issue, but they are the ones who are constantly talking about it. While some blacks may not vote for Clinton, they won't vote for McCain either. But as you said there are more Clinton supporters who won't vote for Obama but will vote for McCain, so the net total difference in lost/crossover votes favors Clinton.

He had a tv ad (I saw it replayed on MSNBC) where he said he never met Obama and was not endorsed by Obama.

I have repeatedly said the Democrat nomination process is seriously flawed and doesn't reflect the true will of the majority. The caucus process has time constraints that prevent many working people from participating. The rules such as in Texas that give more delegates to certain districts than others of similar voter size because that district voted Democrat in the past unfairly gives more weight to some votes than others. Allowing non-Democrats to vote distorts the will of people who stood up and registered as Democrat. You shouldn't have a say in a club you're not willing to join. The Democrats should have a primary process that mirrors the general election where the person with the most popular votes in a state gets all that state's delegates.

I'd say it doesn't bode well for Obama if candidates have to publicly disavow being connected to or endorsed by him, as Childers did.

Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews are two of the most obvious pro-Obama people in the media. They are constantly talking him up while talking her down. The look of disappointment on their faces last night was laughable. Terry McAliffe challenged Matthews about how the media keeps saying Clinton should quit and that it's over, and he denied saying anything like it, while every night he's talking about how there's no way she can win the nomination and what's her motivation if she can't win. And it's the media that keeps bringing up the race issue, and then they blame it on Clinton when she talks about an AP story that said what Matthews is attributing to her. On all the networks, they repeatedly show the statistics of how many blacks and whites are voting for each, and about how the blacks will revolt if Clinton gets the nomination. But they're not talking about race.

Can't claim credit for that (I suspect it's some handout for kids, maybe at a zoo, not the implied reference). In other news, Mayor Ray Nagin of N.O. has endorsed Obama. I guess he wants a chocolate White House.

That's the kind of attitude that will cause an elitist candidate to lose the swing states. There's alot more of those folk then there are black voters.

"According to the police report, the female witness told police she yelled at the younger Hardy to stop fighting when he pulled out a black gun. The woman said Hardy then left." When did they start making ethnic-specific firearms? Can it only be used on blacks, or are only blacks allowed to buy it? Maybe he's trying to send a message to the coaching staff that there's a limit to what he'll put up with from authority figures.

Where is the Dem Congress "Fix Social Security"
PastaJoe replied to stuckincincy's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Social Security is such a 3rd-rail political issue that the only way it ever gets resolved is through a bipartisan commission that then can propose changes without it being politicized. -

Rev Wright is more like the Glenn Close character; Obama used him to get what he wanted (connections in the black community in Chicago), then tried to dump him when his true feelings became known, but Wright wasn't willing to go quietly into the night and acted like a lover scorned.

Most of the aid we would be sending them was probably made in China anyways, so why not cut out the middleman and let them keep what they would be shipping to us.

Some people in Syracuse can't stand the Bills because the are the featured team on CBS games, and if they like another AFC team it prevents them from seeing them, especially the Jets. Teams I root against outside AFC East: NFL: Giants, Cowboys, Steelers, Colts, Broncos. NHL: Maple Leafs, Senators, Canadiens, Bruins, Flyers, Islanders, Hurricanes, Red Wings, Flames, Stars. MLB: Yankees, Red Sox, Dodgers, Rangers. NBA: Lakers, Celtics. College: Notre Dame, North Carolina, Duke, UCLA.

I think young Locke knew what items to choose, but intentionally picked the wrong one because for whatever reason (scared, sensed evil), he didn't want to be identified as the chosen one.

Yes. He's not for universal healthcare, Hillary and Edwards are. Now we vote based on who's more interesting? What's Sanjaya doing, maybe you could vote for him. Yeah, because only people from poor backgrounds can help other poor. Good thing Roosevelt only had 4 terms, that rich snob did nothing for the poor and unemployed. This is the most laughable statement.

I had a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan that was fine, never had transmission problems, and anything else was covered by my bumper to bumper extended warranty. Traded it in last year for a used Chrysler certified 2006 Town and Country, and have yet to have to take it in for any work after 30k miles.
