Default You can tell its election season...

The board seems almost totally polarized between interesting people for Obama and spammers for McCain.

I would not go as far as to say that I dislike Obama, but I do treat all politicians to the same scepticism no matter how populist they may be. Really, the very smooth politicians are a little scarey to me because its just so much harder to know when (not IF) they are lying.

Of course, its pretty hard not to seem like a brilliant choice when compared to McCain. I hope that there will come a day when we can be DISSAPOINTED instead of HAPPY that there is one decent choice on the ballot.

So if you like Obama, your interesting, and if you like McCain, your a spammer?

I expect more from you.

I'm still waiting for that "None of the Above" option to make its appearance on the docket.

At least you wont feel that you are throwing away your vote.

There was a guy out here who changed is legal name to Absolutely Nobody. He ran for something every election cycle. I don't know what ever happened to him, but I thought it was great.

Maybe 60 million or so nationwide.

I'll bet more people vote this time for McCain than Bush in each of the last two elections.

Do you need to be told who one those?

A therefore B

B therefore A

You should have learned that in highschool. Of course you probably went to a school that taught "intelligent design" instead of logic. Its hard to teach contradictory principles in the same class.

Well, he could have said if you like Obama you have at least 2 functioning brain cells. As opposed to, well, you get the idea...




Remarkable restraint Jim.
