Neither Obama nor Clinton will win the election without Florida and Michigan. It's too close for them to win without them. But Florida and Michigans delegates were barred from attending the convention for moving their primaries early. So neither canidate campaigned there. So now there going to have to have another election. And there isn't money for it. I saw Howard Dean talk about it, and he said, 'we can't pay for it. Our moneys going to fighting McCain.' What?!
Mind might change when McCain drafts both of us for his 100 year war. People didn't think it matttered in 2000, stayed home, and we lost nobel peace prize winning Al Gore to captain cheerleader George Bush.
first i hear that a draft will happen, i'm heading over to the Air Force department on campus and signing up to become an officer.
You never know with that kooky bastard. Gets tortured for 6 years, he'll probably go senile in the middle of his term and try to bomb Cambodia to get the Viet cong.
jesus, thank god I'm obviously unfit for service. worse comes to worse, I'll just do what Lou Reed did to avoid the draft: walk into the draft office nodding on downers and tell them that I can't wait to get a gun so I can shoot someone, doesn't matter on which side.
but you have to admit McCain did a decent Beach Boys cover. I haven't been so overjoyed when a politician broke into song since 'Let The Mighty Eagle Soar'.
Hahahahahaha. Yeah. Socially, McCain is better then the recent crop of hyper conservatives which have gotten the GOP nod. Which means he might be more accepted by the general populace. But the real hardcore right hates him because he hasn't like publicily supported people who blow up abortion clinics, or whatever the hell those hardcore fundies want. Which is why I think Obamas so much of a better canidate because he'll have so much better of a chance of ripping away the middle class from McCains senile ass. I don't think Clinton can do as well in a general election, and we might get that crazy asshole.
florida and michigan obviously pulled those stunts on purpous, just so they could pull the strings later on. Obama will take the nomination, and then go on to beat Mccain by a 3-1 margin.
So now Nobel Prize-winning Gore has his hands washed of Iraq! Clinton spent a decade periodically bombing Iraq's infrastructure along with the collateral damage and Gore thought it wasn't enough. Now he's just a green. How convenient.
Ugh. I am so sick of hearing about these idiots. McCain won't win, ok? Not like it matters who does. If the draft is coming back, it's coming back whether McCain is elected or not.
Ok. Now that Pressed Rat's arrived, I can safely leave this thread and keep my above-all-debate presumptuousness...lol.
I love how he throws in the "Nobel Prize-winning," as if that makes Gore any less the charlatan that he is.
Better then ignoring any sign of rational political debate and wash your hands of all responsibility because shadowy figures control all thought. Rat, the only critique you ever bring is that we should abandon all hope and pack up for Fiji. That's fine, but why do you insist on spamming up others political discourse with it. We all know you think we're fucked. Thanks.
who cares anyway? we're collectively fucked in the sphere of politics as all others. you know it's true.
