I'm no racist, shit if Obama had my Libertarian views I'd vote for him in a second but I work at the republican headquarters and you would fucking die if you heard the shit I do! Racism is still alive, I assure you. Maybe not like it was in the 60's and before but guess what? All you need is ONE, count em' ONE lunatic with a rifle. Or any other means to kill someone with for that matter.

I bow out..... Im not touching this anymore. But I stick to my main point. regardless of political beliefs, there is a real statistical chance of John McCain dying from natural causes while in office if elected to the white house.

Yes, yes there is.

But there is also a good chance that Obama will too.

So it's a good point either way.

this is true, however i firmly believe secret service is there for a good reason these days and lessons must have been learned from past incidents.

i mean if in 2008/2009 with all the scrutiny and security and intel we got, such a thing actually happens, then i donno what to say.

I seriously can't imagine why anyone would feel safe with Palin as president. Am I seeing things in some sort of alternate reality? I hope so, cause the Palin I've been seeing is more of a puppet then they could have ever hoped Bush to be.

Bush 2.0

It's pretty obvious to me that Mccain has a far greater chance of dying sooner then Obama. That would leave Palin as the president, what a joke the US would be then, it would be an absolute farce. Obama brings about positive liberty and he's gonna bring the change to rejuvinate the greatness for which the US originally stoof for. He's going to help more people then Mccain will, 95% infact. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. Just want to add i can't stand all these borderline racist allegations and falsities that are being spewed. It just shows what foul people there still are in the underbelly.

No obviously you don't just because something is more probable doesn't make it a fact that it will happen. There is always a chance for something. The chance the world won't end tomorrow are high, but what about the day it really does end? It is always possible and debating on chance is foolish. Better to debate about things that are a little more concrete.

thats the whole point of statistics, it gives you a better idea

if I said you have a 75% of dying tomorrow

you can say anything can happen and its chance bla bla bla
but fact would be that 3 times out of 4 you would die

to deny any claims that aren't concrete is like saying lets drop everything we can possibly talk about a lot of politics is abstract anyway

statistics are very useful in helping us make decisions about abstract ideas and concepts

I am not denying anything. I agree there is a chance McCain can die in presidency just like there is for Obama, but for that to a major factor in my vote is ridiculous. I am not a person for chance. I believe that everything that happens was meant to happen and that no matter the chance it will happen.
