Sorry, neither Bush nor McCain are fascists. However, Obama is a socialist.

Flag on the play! Godwin's law requires a reference to Nazis, not just fascists.
First down, replay from the comment that "Texans would rather keep the facists."

What about the bailout that Bush came up with? That sounds pretty socialist to me!

Companies supported by and propped up by the government to promote the government agenda sounds like the fascist model of business to me.

Not really. The taking over of the banks is a temporary situation until the ecomomy gets back on track. It isn't a permanent situation. Besides, the government should help out the banks since the government was the reason why the banks failed in the first place.

Very tight race in the popular vote so far. CNN has some mistakes. They've called Michigan for Obama but have McCain leading in votes there. They have already called Pennyslvania for Obama, but I think it is too early to call that one for sure. For the most part there are no big upsets yet and it looks like it is going to come down to the 5 or 6 battleground states again (man it makes me feel like the only states that matter come election time are Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, and Indiana). It seems like very election it's one of those states deciding it for us all.

I really do think we should do a popular vote and leave it at that. It would make each persons vote feel more important. The electoral college just isn't needed in the modern age of internet and mass media.
I find the Obama=Socialist argument to be a funny one. I was pretty sure he was a democrat, not a socialist. Unless the argument is that democrat=socialist, in which case it is still an exagerated generalization. Rational thought doesn't figure into politics. It is just a child beauty pagent in which each parent can only see everything right with their kid and none of their flaws. Same deal with voters and their candidate. Every negative comment about McCain is dismissed as misunderstood while every negative comment about Obama is taken without so much as a blink by the Republicans and vica versa for the Democrats.
I just want this election to be over so we can actually start working on fixing this countries problems. That said, I will gloat a bit if Obama the "socialist" wins. "snark"

No, I don't believe that all democrats are socialists. I don't think that any of the Democratic presidents of the past have been socialists. However, I do believe that Obama is a socialist.

Great, now let's all argue about fascism.
Lets not. Sorry I ever brought it up. *smacks self on back of head.*

It's all good. Now that it's over,....I can see your point.
Obama's popularity rating is going to be so bad in 4 years, that you could run Bimbo the Candy Bear against him. So, like, even if the fairness doctrine goes through the senate, it won't matter.
So he'll be a democrat version of Bush?

You really just hate Obama huh? Did he sleep with your wife or something? I look at Obama's ideas and see a lot of promise for making this country a better place. He is a smart man and a strong leader. Even if he isn't as great as I think he will be, I don't see how anyone could screw this country up worse than Dub-ya has.
Listening to some of this is like watching McCain's face in the last debate, a whole lot eye-rolling, sighing, and general disdain for Obama. If he wins this presidency, I would stake my life on the bet that he will be quite popular as a president and that this country will be a better place in 4 years than it is today.

Sitting here across the pond following the hectic race.
I don't think it's a secret that most of the rest of the world is rooting for Obama.
I also have to comment on the Obama = Socialist comment... sorry, but if you think Obama is a real socialist you obviously don't know the meaning of the word.
Does he have some ideas that would fit into a socialist model? Sure, but he has just as many that wouldn't.
Just the fact that he's not running on a universal healthcare platform disqualifies him as a pure socialist.

I agree that Obama is a smart man but where do you get he's a strong leader? What has he lead that gives you that impression? I'm not saying that he can't be a good leader but he seems very inexperienced to me.

Can someone please explain how in the world they can say someone won a state when the votes are still being counted.
example: New Mexico 9:00 pm Central time. 4% vote counted, 37% Obama, 67% McCain and the state goes to Obama??? Huh?!?! The Math doesn't add up. Am I missing something vital here? Is this Fuzzy Math, whats going on?!?!?!?

He's got 200 electorals, and California, Oregon, and Washington are gimmes.

That's not my point. It's the math I am wondering about. How we can declare a state is won by anyone with first off only 4% of the vote counted and secondly when the majority of the votes going to the person who is not winning that state. That doesn't make since. The reporters have already flubbed two hours ago by saying President Obama before they even declared Ohio.
Heathansson |
Along the same thread Mississippi 9:00 pm Central Time: 29% of the vote is in. 57% McCain 42% Obama, can't project a winner yet. I am so confused with this math.
There's prolly a gimme county or two left to chime in; like in Florida, Dade, Broward and Palm, awa Alachua are prolly blue, whereas the gold coast counties are prolly red.
