Obama Is Winning... Thoughts?
 
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/08/us...hp&oref=slogin


Any thoughts, I have to say this is over for Hillary Clinton.

Danny Himself 01.08.2008 05:18 PM

I'm glad. It's about time the son of a Kenyan chicken farmer became US President (or at least a close contender..). Now THAT is the fucking American dream.

✌➬ 01.08.2008 05:20 PM

Results so far.

I'm really surprised (in a good way) so far, but then I was really surprised with Kevin Rudd winning the Australian election, are people getting sick of having idiots ruling the country or something?

atsonicpark 01.08.2008 09:29 PM

He's an idiot. I'd like to see Hilary in office, which may be contrary to many of my peers and the supposed "woman-hatred" thing I have going on. She's a very intelligent woman and we need her... Though.. in the end.. RUDY GUILIANI is going to fucking take this thing..

!@#$%! 01.08.2008 09:34 PM

he ain't winning at the moment in NH, hilary is up by 3%

atsonicpark 01.08.2008 09:42 PM

Yeah, she was crying on television because of the overwhelming stress of being a billionaire who has to speak for about 10 minutes a month "for the people" while spending the rest of the time with a cucumber up her ass, so everyone in our brainwashed media-manipulated society saw she was "real" and is supporting her now.

I like her, but come on. "I WASN'T SURE ABOUT HILARY BEFORE! BUT Y'KNOW WHAT? SHE SHOWED SOME REAL COMPASSION! DOING WHAT SHE DOES IS TUFF! I MEAN, SHE ATE MONICA LEWINSKY'S PUSSY JUICE OFF OF BILL CLINTON'S FAT DICK! AND SHE WAS FINE WITH THAT! I WANT HER IN THE OFFICE NOW!"

I think her crying on television shows more a sign of weakness than a sign of "compassion". I don't necassarily doubt her compassion, but if she's that emotionally fragile, don't let her near the fucking "nuke button"!!

I say all this, half-jokingly, though. Hilary is cool, I hope she wins.

sorry if i imply that you're talking out of your ass, but how is he "an idiot"?

atsonicpark 01.08.2008 09:55 PM

Okay, sorry, let me rephrase. I don't like him, I don't agree with a lot of the things he's said, I don't see him as anything special. I don't feel like writing long, detailed post about this... but let's just say I don't think he's the right man for the job. Of course, I do get all my information from wikipedia, so what do I know.........

!@#$%! 01.08.2008 09:59 PM

ha ha. yeah i have my doubts as well. but he's definitely talented. charisma aside, he was president of the harvard law review-- no small feat.

Rob Instigator 01.09.2008 10:11 AM

no one is WINNING ANYTHING right now. all that is going on, and has been for months now, is the determination of which person will run for president from each respective party.
It makes me sick that they have extended this bullshit to last nearly a year and a HALF. it costs millions of dollars to advertise and spread the word about your candidate and what this extended period is doing is making it that much easier to weed out the candidates who do not have the money to keep up the media blitz. this is unamerican as all fuck. It makes me sick.

we still have 11 fucking MONTHS of this nonsense.

Inhuman 01.09.2008 10:56 AM

Yeah, I never understood why they do that in the US electorial system. In Canada we don't have the primary elections

_slavo_ 01.09.2008 11:02 AM

Obama is the man ... I hope he'll win the whole thing, it would be pretty interesting to see how America will deal with the first Afro-American president.

And vice-versa.

Rob Instigator 01.09.2008 11:18 AM

all I know is that Obama better pick a person of color as his VP, because the US is rife with reactionary redneck assholes who would like nothing more than a chance to take down a sitting african american president. No lie.
gots to watch yr back !!!

I just want someone for president who can hold intelligent conversations, whobcan answer unscripted questions with clarity and information whop can hold more than two press conferences a year, who is not a hald retarted alcoholic whose alcoholism syndrome is plainly evident everytime he opens up his fucking blue blood mouth.

tesla69 01.09.2008 11:59 AM

blackbox.com is suggesting some voter fraud, seems like diebold was the vendor for many of the machines. People who voted or Ron Paul are saying their votes are not being recorded. Big surprise. I guess now that Ghouliani is under 10% the corporate media will dump him from their debates according to their own rules.

I heard a speech by Richardson that was just great, "As president I would do this..." and clearly listed his platform, some I liked some I didn't but he was clearly spelling out his plan vs. covert Trilateralist Obama who just talks about 'we need to change america to bring hope back' and other meaningless shite. Some girl was like "I voted for Obama because he seems to be able to inspire people to feel that change can happen" - we don't need someone who will make people feel nice we need a hard ass son of a bitch who will tackle the traitor fascists and hang them from a meat hook. I love the refrain of all the candidates both rep and dem that 'we need to fix america' they all know Bush has dry raped us raw and bleeding.

Rob Instigator 01.09.2008 02:11 PM

the question everyone should be asking themsel4evs as we get rairoaded into another false war with Iran this time is, what does Iran have to gain by inciting the US into attacking it? THE ANSWER IS NOTHING> NOTHING AT ALL.

however, who would gain by destabilizing Iran and all it's massive oil reserves? rich oil companies, their owners, and the Saudi families that run OPEC.

enjoy yr "freedom fellow americans. it is going, going, going......

the ikara cult 01.09.2008 02:16 PM

I love the other day, a few weeks after that report says Iran isnt the nuclear threat that we thought it was, they cart out some footage of SPEEDBOATS!!! AAAAARGH!!! THEYRE AS DEADLY AS EVER!!!
The Iranians have clearly taken to Bullseye*


*British gag disclaimer

Rob Instigator 01.09.2008 02:21 PM

they show fucking speedboats, fucking two or three man speedboats and claim it is members of the IRAN NAVY????

if their NAVY is speed boats why are we concerned??????????

and how can Bush call Iran a "threat to world peace" when for the past 7 years, by his own constant admission, we are in a worldwide war on terror? How can the fucking american mindless public continue to buy this bullshit???????????? what "world peace" is hhe possibly referring to?

fuckin darfur is a death zone, Siera leone is still all fucked up, Columbia and Mexico have drug lords killing people right and left and corrupting everyone from the lowly local police to the national governments, Kenya is in near civil war, strife reigns over much of southeast asia, Iraq is FUCKED (the freaking cradle of civilization man!) afganistan is fucked, and manufacturing maybe 400% more heroin than before we invaded and took out their government.

"Legalize it. My number one priority if elected," mumbled Keith Richards between nicotine-stained fingers, referring to persistent rumors that he'll run as the Ganja Party's candidate in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. "Then a Chuck Berry record in every household."

the ikara cult 01.09.2008 02:27 PM

I heard the news say the speedboats were dropping "little white boxes" into the oncoming paths of the destroyers and going "Ve are coming to get yuuuuu!" over the radio!
I watched Bush give his press conference and even he was looking like "is this the best we can do!? We're shit!"

Rob Instigator 01.09.2008 02:29 PM

the speedboats dropped what were described as small wooden boxes. The Navy said they did not pick them up because they did not know what was in them.

The Navy spokeswoman said at leats one was flying an IRANian flag, while the video shows no flags whatsoever flying bfrom the boats, not to mention that nearly every single US registered boat has a US flag flying friom it even though those boats ahve nothing to do with the US NAVY!!! any fool can get an ira nian flag and fly it from their boat! How does that imply the Iranian government is sending attack boats at the USA????????

gmku 01.09.2008 02:29 PM

Those pesky Iranians and their speedboats and little white boxes! Why, in my day, we worried about MIG fighters and Ruskie troops crossing the West German border.

This is so pathetic--reduced to chasing Iranian thrill seekers.

the US used to at least pretend that nuclear submarines were a threat, or that, as gmku said, russian MIG's or ballistic missiles. Now the us is afraid of people with pipe bombs.

gmku 01.09.2008 02:33 PM

We are so not the lean, mean fighting machine anymore. Unless you consider the Army as boot camp training for urban gang leaders lean and mean.

!@#$%! 01.09.2008 02:35 PM

if the libertarians were serious at all they'd get mayors, state legislatures, governors and congress members elected before presenting cockamamie presidential candidates with no chance to win.

Rob Instigator 01.09.2008 02:39 PM

city councilmen, school boards, and state representatives and mayors are the way to effect true change.

I am going to start a Political Action Comitee for the disenfranchised, the freaks, the weirdos, the rockers. I will get the paperwork all done. I want you all to join. politicians need to see that larg4e groups of people (voting blocks) can and will confront them on issues we care about.

this bill murray looking dude, though...



About Robert W. Milnes by me.

I've written some autobiographic material on my 4prez2008 website.


 



I believe the American voters would appreciate a VIABLE third choice for President.... Therefore I seek a woman Libertarian candidate for Vice-President to form a "hybrid" ticket. This ticket should combine the Green and Libertarian votes into one "Progressive Alliance" vote. Further by becoming more viable...



...is this a campaign ad or a personal ad...? "hybrid" viable ticket.... sounds like some sort of breeding plan....

greens are for regulation & libertarians are against it, shit makes no sense.

he's got teary eyes and a computer from 1992. wtf?

I'd go with a Green before I would a libertarian. What Libertarians don't understand is that you can't govern large groups of people without some kind of rules in place. Greens understand that, for example, to control water quality you have to have laws in place against people dumping shit in the water.
