I'm all about Obama (I bought an Obama shirt tonight, actually). I really like his plan to provide rehabilitation and job training for prisoners. Here's a funny thing though...I find it distressing that celebrities (P. Diddy for example) have to go to such great lengths to try to get young adults to vote. For me, the first thing I did when I turned 18 was register to vote. Is my generation really so apathetic that celebs and other powerful people have to push us to vote?

I say all the ones that generally don't vote have to vote for Ron Paul. We'd be fighting a battle we know we cannot win; that's a powerful message. Plus, there's the chance that so many people vote for this battle we cannot win that we might in fact do.

I'd vote for the unabomer, but I don't like his ideas of primitivism.

ugh.. i really cant stand any of the candidates right now..
and all i've been hearing about is McCain, Romney and Obama and Hillary. Where the hell did everyone else go? and now, Romney is out..so what, that's Huckabee, McCain and Paul left, but you can probably garuantee that we wont hear anything from Paul even though those are the last 3 Rep. left.
if huckabee wins, i'm moving to another country, because he will most likely be just as bad as Bush.

Obama and McCain are the only two sane people running. Hillary is an ice bitch who thinks she knows best. If she gets elected, my skinhead friend and I are going to Canada; just warning the Canadians.

I wanted Edwards to win, but he fucking dropped out!
I bet he just realized that Americans are being stupid and had no chance against a fucking woman and a black man.

Last time I checked and my info could be dated, he wanted to start shit with Pakistan. That's just what we need a grid lock in Iraq and Afghanistan with a fresh new war in Pakistan. Sounds capital.

They have some great shirts in Dublin with O'Bama on them.

This article today is yet another reminder of why not to vote for Clinton...

Clinton not ready to release tax returns

http://news.**********/s/ap/20080212...nmPRSyH1Ss0NUE

WASHINGTON - Resisting calls from Barack Obama to release her income tax returns, Hillary Rodham Clinton said Monday she would only do so if she secures the Democratic presidential nomination and contended her rival had been less than candid about his relationship with major campaign contributors.

In a televised interview Monday with Politico.com and local television station WJLA, Sen. Clinton said her financial holdings had been disclosed in her Senate ethics filings and that she had liquidated all her assets when she became a presidential candidate so her investments would not present a conflict of interest.

After the former first lady acknowledged she had lent her campaign $5 million in personal funds, Sen. Obama suggested she release her tax records as he has done to give voters a better accounting of where her money comes from...


Saying you won't tell who exactly your in bed with until your sure you will win an election/nomination is like saying, yeah I'm guilty of bad stuff, but can't tell you until after the voters vote, because they will be angry if they find out who I am getting paid off by'.

Also note in that article she harps on about Obama's housing fiasco. He bought a house, some businessman bought the adjacent lot - not much of a scandal, but the Clintons are on every news outlet preaching about this and trying to claim it's a scandal.

If people REALLY want to read about a property scandal, they just need to Google WHITEWATER and see what her and her husband were into there. Sure, they beat the charges, but everyone else they partnered with got arrested and went to prison. Also note, everyone else who got arrested later died of suspicious causes.

Thats not a joke - seriously, all the Clintons former business partners all died suddenly in a matter of a couple years after this all happened. Kind of ironic that the only people who could tie them to the scandal all died.

I used to defend Mormons to a certain extent, but Romney seriously soured me on the LDS church. What an unbelievable fucking asshole.

Since we informed, reasoned voters tend to have all our careful consideration undone by a larger majority who do everything from flipping a coin to closing their eyes and dropping their finger anywhere on the touch screen...I give you...

THE STAR WARS GUIDE TO THE CANDIDATES!!

Choose you which candidate, young Jedi ??
Darth McCain?
Princess Leia Orbama of Alderaan, Illinois?
Obi-ron Paul-obi?
Hillando Clintrissian?
