The 2008 US Election thread

[J70]

Don't gloat too much yet boys. McCain, talk radio and Fox News are pulling out all the stops at the moment to make people over here afraid of Obama. Its wall-to-wall Ayers, Acorn, Joe the Plumber and socialistic tax policies. It may very well work.

It'll only work on those watch or listen to that propaganda and let's face it they already vote republican.

Not only has Bush possibly bankrupted the States and let the economy tank but he has probably ended the US dominance of Global issues. That is a spectacular achievement and McCain never had a prayer with that legacy around his neck.

Fear not J70, Obama has revealed he is actually Superman, sent to Earth by his father Jor El to do good.

J70 - not gloating or counting anything. Nothing would surprise me at all. I was just wondering how Tyrone's Own was feeling about Powell contracting a mental disorder.

I would consider myself an Obama supporter in the hope that he is a better man than than what we have at the minute but below is an interesting article by John Pilger on Barack Obama.

A summary of the article:  same sh1t, different shovel.

I have a strange feeling that on the day before voting, the terrorist threat status will go to the highest since 9/11 with news headline warnings of imminent attack followed by republican claims that Obama is not the man to steer the US through such a crisis!

And neglecting to point out that of course Mrs Crazy is the first person a country in crisis would turn to.

She does have the binoculars to keep America safe.

McCain asks the Russians to help fund his campaign- BBC

I bet Hannity and O'Reilly will love this. Maybe he could ask Osama for a few bob?

Turns out it was a computer...eh...error....he left his account logged on and it must have been some one else.

Did anyone watch Fox Noise this morning?

There was a former secretary of state on (his name escapes me) who was appauled at Colin Powell's decision to back Obama. He said he was most disappointed by the timing, claiming underhand tactics by the Democrats. But most disturbingly he used a sporting metaphor three times to describe these tactics - calling it, "dirty pool".

Now anyone aware of American pool will realise that dirty pool is a term used to describe a certain tactic of unsportman like play in pool whereby you don't attempt to hit a ball as it puts your opponent at a disadvantage if you don't. However the term "dirty pool" is the polite name for these tactics, it is more likely referred to in white circles as "n***er pool".

I hope Keith Olbermann picks up on this tonight and destroys him for it.

Nightly News just showed Obama has 74% lead on first time voters compared to McCains 23%  +/-3%.
