Re: The Final US Election Thread
go to www.msnbc.com and watch their coverage - much better than the BBC to be honest - as you dont have to hear about the 'American system' and the stupid talk for ignorant Brits - if you know about the US system and even just a lil bit about the political situation - much better analysis.Originally Posted by LittleGrizzly

GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

Re: The Final US Election Thread
One possible silver lining for those of us tired of living in wacky world of political correctness...
When President B. Hussein Obama is elected, will we finally stop having to hear about the black struggle?
Every American has been inundated with that singular obsession through the school system, the media, and pop culture for decades. Has the promise land been reached? Do the rest of us have to keep hearing about it?
Hopefully this election will deflate the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. I think it's high time that the mexicans got their shot at telling the world how the WASPs have kept them down and how they deserve handouts. Its only fair. Sorry Asians, you've been far to successful for that sort of tomfoolery...

I'd suspect if McCain can win... I mean, he can win, but I'm not sure that will happen.
Names, secret names
But never in my favour
But when all is said and done
It's you I love
Re: The Final US Election Thread
McCain is pulling ahead in Indiana.
Re: The Final US Election Thread
No we wont but that is a forgone conclusion anyway. I wonder if in 50 years they will be able to keep this up after the hispanics have passed them and they are the ones doing the "oppressing" It is rather sad that we allow a whole race to be kept down simply for power politics.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: The Final US Election Thread
What are your predictions for Virginia? With just a few polls in, CNN has McCain at an 11% lead. I don't think that will hold up, but I think the victory will be narrow either way.
Re: The Final US Election Thread
You know what is great my American Conservative friends? I remember vividly on these boards CR stating after 2004 how brilliant it was that every branch of govt was Republican and how thigns were changing into a new dawn of Conservative thinking.
Painful memory's are coming flooding back...
But this is a new dawn, democrats control all three powers, years of republican damage can be undone, foriegn relations can be mended, negoations can take place with foriegn powers instead of useless strongman posturing...
This could be all a bit of a posioned chalice... economy in a state and all the houses in democrat control... on the other hand i think after 8 years of bush how could it get much worse... all the powers under one party isn't a great thing but under obama i believe it will be ok...
In remembrance of our great Admin Tosa Inu, A tireless worker with the patience of a saint. As long as I live I will not forget you. Thank you for everything!
