Yeah, assassination attempt definitely in the future. Course i would have thought that about Hillary too. McCain will assassinate himself. I'm not sure if Palin's pissed enough people off yet.


Yeah no kidding. I don't remember there ever being such hardcore insults and stuff tied in with politics or anything publicly. I've seen billboards and crap calling Obama a terrorist, it's wild. Some people totally absolutely hate that guy. I don't think I've heard anyone pulling that kind of stuff on McCain though. Maybe they're too focused on making pornos and snl skits about Palin? Either way, I don't care who wins. It's not like I'm going to pack-up and leave, I'll still be here.

For some reason, I don't see many KKK type groups being democrats / against republicans.

As an aside, for America it seems like politics is like a big game where you have to support your team unswervingly. It's really frustrating for someone like me to see people that hate candidate x because they're not on the right team. The way that politics polarizes people is ridiculous. I hate how everyone thinks the republicans are conservative, just as much as I hate giving my money away. They're not - they're just as fiscally liberal as anyone else out there ... just who the money is going to is different. Look at the war - money is going somewhere, and a lot of it. As I see it, the big difference between the two political parties in America are the swing issues, which usually end up being useless moral issues that the federal government shouldn't control anyways... like abortion, gay marriage, etc.

I totally agree. There's plenty of reasons to hate Obama, and none of them have to do with which party he's in. There's reasons to hate McCain, but most of those are the same reasons just not as bad as Obamas.

Barack Obama will be the first President that you're not allowed to state his full name without being labeled a bigot. Every time someone's gone on record calling him Barack Hussein Obama people cry foul. Bullshit.

Either way the winner won't make it through a term. They've already foiled two plots against Obama, and the first cheeseburger McCain eats will be the end of him. So we're left with a choice between Joe Biden, an asshole, and Sarah Palin, a bitch. A bitch I happen to agree with a lot of the time, personally, who demonstrates values I share by personal choices she's made.

You watch a lot of Sean Hannity I'm guessing. Do you think that maybe a vast majority prefer not to say his full 7 syllable name out of convenience?

I would actually bet money on Obama not being assassinated. I think people have blown this way out of proportion. Some dipshit Klansmen/Neo-Nazis vs. the Secret Service, hmmm don't know how that will turn out.

I'll bet that's what JFK thought too, before his brains ended up in his wife's lap.

Regardless of whether it is successful or not, there will be more attempts on his life. I know that if I was a professional bodyguard, I'd be searching for a new profession right about now. I am definitely not advocating assassination attempts as a way of preserving one's beliefs, nor am I hoping that such an event would take place. Human life is too valuable to smother out in the name of a cause or belief. Unfortunately, all too many people don't place that value on life, and have a very easy time extinguishing it.

meanwhile, over here in left field: Darwinism, wtf?

QFT

We have had this type for a while, and it does seem to be losing the people's trust, but idk if starting over is the best idea

Actually, most of his head wound up over the trunk of his car.

You know, assassinating Obama may be the only way he might possibly be remembered positively in history. His policies are so incredibly retarded, this country will plunge into an age of darkness that will only be remembered fondly by the most rabid mouth-frothing socialists. Like Jimmy Carter, only 10x worse. And we're still suffering effects from Jimmy Carter.

An assassination will only cause more of America to idolize him further. He's got nothing but popularity and a nice smile going for him. If you hate Obama as much as I do, the best thing is to let him finish out his term so the world can see how retarded his policies really were. And if those policies don't destroy the nation in four years (I think the possibility is at least 30%), we won't see a democrat-controlled senate, house, or white house in another 12 years.

Incidentally, I think the most likely result of an Obama win tomorrow would be that he institutionalizes the massive vote fraud he's using now. He may or may not bother covering it up - after all, it's pretty obvious right now and none of the networks have picked it up (105% of Indiana residents are registered to vote!). Any election after that will be a farce.

Im with you completely

While I agree that the illegal registration is terrible and just sad, I still expect to see a horrible turn out (less than american idol) so the polls up to this point probably dont mean anything.

He should have picked Hitlary as his running mate... Best insurance policy ever, nobody would even think about assassination.

But yeah it might actually be a good thing if he wins and serves out his term. Then when people see how bad he fucked everything up the republicans will have an easy time getting back in and can go fix everything again. And hopefully we would have a better choice than a neo-con as the republican candidate.

But really fuck Obama. I talked to someone during this FBI citizens training thing. This guy used to run background checks for the Whitehouse. He talked to the guy in charge of doing it now. Most of the guys that are in his crew are Kosher. But because of Obama's affiliations and everything he wouldn't be able to make it in... But we are about to vote him in...awesome

LostBoyz... Just remember to meet at my place for the revolution. We really do need to hit a big fucking reset button on the government. Just start over keep the constitution and take the government out of everything else, all the shit they shouldn't be involved in. Example... exactly why is it illegal to not wear a seat belt? Yes it is retarded to not wear one but illegal? At least it isn't a federal law...yet. There are so many stupid things on the books like that... The government needs to stay out of our business. But people seem to not care any more as long as they have TV and other stupid comforts they won't care.

Hahahahahahaha.

Both of you kids (LB and NP), and I'm calling you kids neglecting age because both of your stances are so completely closed-minded it's as retarded as a 4 year old child, don't realize it won't destroy the nation in four years. It usually takes just a *bit* longer than four years for policies that presidents put into place to take effect. And to be honest, it isn't like Obama can really do much more damage to this country with it in its current position. And are you seriously going to tell me McCain's policies are any better? I lol @ you if you do. The only thing I think is idiotic about Obama is his health care plan. Everything else is about even for both candidates.

Except, Obama's commercials don't suck.

Oh, and calling shady voting tactics into play with your probably favorite president ever, Bush, in office? LOLOLOL.
