Breaking News: Women are not idiots!

[goblin_insane]

Shockingly enough women aren't the ignorant little sheep that fall so easily for cheap pops. This is no slight or anything against Sarah Palin but boy did McCain misunderestimate the intelligence of women, the initial view to Palin pre her speech.

p.s - Romney has just been on stage and boy would I have voted for him, probably no.2 after Hillary if

DEFINITELY not idiots.

You still watching/listening? Romney was dry compared to attack-dog/9/11-monger Giuliani.

But I can't believe this crowd, which seems to be foaming at the mouth. "Drill baby drill" as their battle cry??!! Holy god this is terrifying.

I saw Giuliani alright and boy is he a muppet. He has always only been able to create three word sentences. A noun + a verb + 911. Thankfully the American public are not idiots despite what Europeans say and they demonstrated this by decimating Giuliani in the primaries.

Good lord, are there any gamers who aren't closet Republicans?

Here's the thing - no matter how moderate or fiscally conservative a Republican candidate is, they're still in thrall to the Crazies that make up their base. A Romney or McCain administration would leave all the corrupt Republican flacks in place across the Federal government and give them four more years of fucking things up.

Even if you can't stand Obama or the Dems, there's an inherent value in periodically turfing incumbents out of office (something Ireland could do with badly and something Britain will discover at the next election).

Think of it as governmental hygiene.

Nonsense. Absolute nonsense

The worst case scenario for me is an insular, xenophobic, internationally disinterested america, and the crazies on both sides of the divide will aim america in this direction.

Have you had a chance to watch any of the RNC? If McCain/Palin take over the White House, we may indeed have divided government... and an even more deeply divided people. There has been NOTHING about conciliation, working together (or even, really The Economy) put forth these last two days. There's been little in-depth recognition of international issues -- save drum-beating about Russia and "achieving victory" over terrorists. Attacks against Obama have taken far more airtime than have explanations about platform etc -- and that's been true throughout McCain's campaign. You should see the ads they've been running here.

If the Republicans win this they will have done so because they swung to the right, right toward the crazy territory that seems to be making you nervous. I can see that arc, plain as day. And I'm clearly a Democrat, but still... I

A veritable pain in the balls is what it is, and it makes it very difficult to be pro McCain right now. And you are right, it does make me worry how much influence the 'agents of intolerance' will have in a McCain administration.

The democrats are running a much more confident and controlled campaign, absolutely no doubt. And they are likely to win it at this stage unless the republicans have read the population better than we have. There is still a fear here that america is more racist than the polls are showing.

I still think McCain is the better candidate, but the Palin choice has completely taken the wind out of my sales (and was the beginning for me of all this political debate). Damn you John, why not Romney... That would have been something I would have fought for... :)

(Funny thought... How shocked would we all have been if it had been McCain/Hillary :) )

Obama-Biden

Are they trying to spell out Osama Bin Laden???

I refuse to listen to the political views of an Irishman who appears to have accidentally fallen into Happy Days:

'boy did McCain misunderestimate'
'boy would I have voted for him'
'boy is he a muppet'

Gee Fonz, what next?
