SwinginSoriano Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 How can you take your business elsewhere? Walmart destroys its competition, leaving only them. Do you mean to kmart or target? If you don't like Comcast, you have Verizon. what a dramatic difference. At least there is a choice, and if their prices are not good enough the internet offers fair competition. I never get pissed off that Walmart is "ripping me off", can't say the same every time I look at my paycheck. I'm not Rich Uncle Pennybags here. And I should've been clear, Obama was against the illegal, idiotic Iraq war from the start. Sadly he has not been consistent. It's like Huckabee on immigration, well, not that bad.

Hory Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Whether or not this would be a good thing for the US is another issue, but wanting open and free trade with all nations as Paul does is not isolationist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolationism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 So I asked this in the shoutblock yesterday, but didn't get any answers. I was just wondering how the whole American election process works. What do All these Primaries mean/do? And Mo: Quimby? Are you serious? Vote Ralph ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolie Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Primary elections determine the nominations for each party. Unfortunately there are only two major parties. Right wing/republican and Left wing/democrats. This system is pathetic because both sides will try to act like the other just to grab that "undetermined vote". So basically we have robots as candidates. Every single one of them is influenced by either money from special groups or by what is politically safe. The problem with a candidate like Obama is he is what is known as fence straddler. He has no balls. He does what is "politically correct" to please opposing sides and keep a vague voting record. That's why he isn't black! He is a robot like everyone else running. He is too chicken! Some say it's all about "playing the game". Obama's posse claims that it is "unconstitutional". In reality Obama is as white as a wedding cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannyt Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Ron Paul is the only candidate, republican or democrat, that can get this country back to what the Constitution outlined. He's the only one that will lower spending and get us out of this war. But it's sad that the media can pick our candidates for us in today's society. And so far they haven't given Paul a fair shake at all. McCain can talk, but I don't believe he'll bring about any significant change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you want the entire country privatized? do you actually think corporations look out for the public good, ever? Corporations are so much more detrimental than even the current corrupt administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meteamo Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Since the governator now supports McCain, would that make him the presidator (or something like that)? And how nasty do you think the rest of the debates and campaigns will get? :shrug: BTW, aren't one of the goals of any business (or corporation) in this capitalistic society to make money? And when money is one of the motives for a business or corporation, wouldn't that at times conflict with what may be in the best interest of everyone? Just think of Exxon-Mobile for example. They make more money than some countries ... capatilism at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolie Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Clueless right. Sean O I thought you were better then that. You place his vote against the war on a pedestal. You call me racist. I do find that funny coming from a Irishman from Boston. Why don't you account for his weak voting record. You know the one Obama sidesteps. I thought you were relatively smart and could look up his "stats". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meteamo Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Let's get back on topic here ..... Will it be Quimby or Ralph? Will it be the incumbant or the Police Commish's son? I vote for Ralph. :wtg: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolie Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 WTF Sean O! YOU are the one who made a personnel attack. So don't spin this crap on me! I've backed up why I call Obama not black enough. Look at his freaking record! He has backed out of votes that would have helped his own brothers. Instead he betrayed them because a poor man locked up doesn't have voting rights. Lol WTF does Zmod have do with any of this? Btw CC720 and MarlinMY are the responsible for making the connection. If you want to ban me. Go right ahead! Don't pester me and threaten me! I back my statement earlier with evidence directly from his voting record. You've called me an ignorant racist. You cannot backup your statement. Look in the freaking mirror. Who has made the personnel attack? If you are going to call me racist then back it up. I was raised in South Central. I grew up hand in hand with black people. I can say the "N" word around them. I party with them and hang out with them. Worked a ton of lower class temp jobs out of high school and went LA trade tech where it was full of real black people. I've been harassed and picked on by the "Po"lice. So I laugh my **** off when an Irishman from Boston has has the balls to call me a racist. :rant: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You talk smack and coward out like the "Uncle Tom" candidate you support. No balls to follow up and ban me. You get butt hurt when somebody talks smack about your candidate. Obama is an "Oreo"! You gave money to the same type of devils you preach against. Hypocrite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
