Obama (please read this thread before assumptions of this thread)

Anyways back to topic. Barrack Saddam Hussein Obama Bin Laden.

If you're gonna be like that, what about John Wilkes Booth McSame?

See? We can do it with him too. Except John is even more common, so there's probably a lot more jackasses named John. A name is just a name, it means nothing.

i hate how people do that.
the name doesn't matter. saddam hussein wasn't a tyrant when obama was born, nor was bin laden. even if they were, does it really matter? just makes them less electable due to the idiot 12% of americans who think he's muslim.

[Corey]

It wouldn't matter if he was born when anybody was a tyrant, Hussein is a common name, and Obama is his last name so nobody even picked it. It wouldn't matter if he was a muslim either, nobody said you have to be Catholic/Protestant to be president, religion is supposed to be kept separate from the state.

i completely agree. the problem is, most people are too narrow-minded about politics and hate politicians for non-political reasons.

Theres nothing wrong with letting a politician's religion influence your voting stance towards him.

[Delta 07]

well, in the u.s. we take religion in to account in to voting, or at least a lot of us do. I really dont care about a persons religion as long as they dont favor there religion over an other religion.

[Scarecrow63]

It wouldn't make sense to not favor your religion over someone elses.....

[siegfried1]

I think he means to be completely bias towards yours over all the others

[Dr. Knickers]

Here's a nice comparison.

[Meyer]

and how much of that is actually true and not your own opinions?

[s-t-n]

very little. i was sad enough to read the whole thing

[Slornie]

Ok, here are a few points from Dr. Nick's list:

So Palin was Mayor of a town, big deal.  It only had 5000 inhabitants.  Obama's experience as a "community organiser" was much more varied, and involved far larger communities.

Exactly what foreign experience does Alaska's borders give Palin?  Relations would be determined at national level by the President.  Plus she's only travelled outside the States twice in her life.

Palin's record for earmarks isnt exactly good either.  She was excellent at obtaining such funding for Alaska, and originally supported the so called "Bridge to Nowhere".  Then, when federal support was drying up, she changed her mind and persuaded them to scrap the project and give her the $400m in grants to spend at her discretion.

u forgot palin's beliefs on abortions- she doesnt believe those pregnant from rape should be allowed to have them
her views on global warming- it doesnt exist
and evolution- what?

any change palin brings will be even further to the right than bush, he brought plenty of change too...

i support whoever the most moderate canidate turns out to be, but McCain/Palin are going far right while Obama/Biden are leaning alot closer to the center

[siegfried1]

I'm only supporting obama/biden because they're closer to the left wing(the best wing) than the stupid republicans.

better be communist than be fascist.

[siegfried1]

Uh-huh.  Communism leads to anarchy and fascicm is closer to capitalism.  Anyways, i favor it because it makes more sense to me personally than anarchy and the corporations owning everything.

[Slornie]

I mean, if senior Republicans are saying she has no foreign policy experience, and would be a liability..

[Meyer]

in democracy, many have fun
in dictatorship, one has fun
in communism, no one has fun

remeber that.

[Scarecrow63]

lol, poor communists

[vadereclipse]

TBH, most communist states there have been (russia, china, cuba, north korea) which were big in media were not true communist states.
russia-leaders, as far as stalin and Khruschev were more of autocrats than communists.
in N.korea, much the same.
Castro was a nationalist, which is not communist, as a communist must break down national borders and bring people together.
china's becoming less and less communist.
so while communism should ideally be "no one has fun", most communist states, past and present, are closer to dictatorships in conduct of rule.
