here's a better face palm for ya

Both sides are puppets anyway. Right now I'm thinking no matter who gets elected, we're still going to be fucked.

Especially in the economy.

So NOW the polls have meaning since Obama is in the lead? :rolleyes:

LOL, we'll see come November. :D

Have a good one!:s4:

Obama has had this election on lock ever since McCain picked Palin. Its over

ok guys, i know im new an all and i dont really know you guys too well yet so dont flame this, but why do you guys care about this election? i mean ive gotten bad vibes from both of these decievers since their nominations. cant you see the big picture is that perpetuating this style of democracy, in which the candidates have this kind of superstar status as we hang on their words every debate waiting to hear what THEYRE going to do for our country as if somehow their little podium and rhetoric gives them more power than the other 303+ million of us? we're waiving our most important rights by sitting back and watching this like a form of entertainment

even people with my opinion that both candidates suck are still like "oh no were effed!"

hell i know for sure i could beat up an old dude by myself, and probably obama if i had a) a large stick or b) a couple friends

now think about thousands of us with guns against these select and suited few. why in the world would we ever invest so much trust into one man and then pretend that once either is elected that the situation is somehow "out of our hands?"

its not about these petty arguements or their own personal little plans for america, but the biggest of pictures that we are all supposed to be guiding america into together. plus were intelligent enough to know that policy change doesnt do shit for the way we think and live, only lifestyle change has meaningful and long-lasting effects on the direction of this giant ship we're steering. policy is like loading up our giant ship with more and more ammunition. sure, it makes us feel more secure, but in the long run the weight of it all just slows us down

He can still get his palm to his face? I keed. I keed.

No. NOW the polls have meaning as we get inside 4 weeks to the election. Polls can change quickly, so if you are very far out, it doesn't mean a whole lot. But as we get closer, the gap keeps widening in Obama's favor, and I think that has meaning.

McCain is now in panic mode because of the polls. He has started to run some very nasty irrelevant ads in order to try to strip voters off of Obama or drive down the turnout. McCain knows that it is pretty much too late to attract voters to himself, so he is going negative on Obama instead of talking positively about himself. It's always sad when the desperate candidate goes this way, and the whole camnpaign veers into mudslinging.

Well, like you say, we will see in November. I am predicting a decisive Obama victory!

wait until tonight - mad dog mccain is going to chew up obama and poop him out...then the polls will tell a different story because nobody is going to vote for mccain's dog turd...it's make or break for the maverick!

I think tonight's debate might be a bloody one. McCain is getting desperate and nsaty, so I think he might TRY to chew up Obama and poop him out, instead of stick to issues and speak positively on his own behalf. But I'm not sure if that kind of strategy would even work. At this point it is really all he has left, but it might just piss people off.

This is not a town hall meeting full of supporters where you can pull that kind of crap --- it is supposed to be all undecided independents, and those are the voters that these two are fighting over at this point. They are mostly issues voters, not open to negative campaigning. At least in the debate hall, they will not take well to cheiwing and pooping, so if McCain goes that route, and Obama stays above the fray and keeps focused on the economy, Obama will do well with them.

Of course the larger audience on TV might react differently, but I still do not think McCaion's negative style he has been using lately will make a difference in his favor. It might just hurt him more.
