Is there an offical pointless election banter thread anywhere?

I really don\'t give a shit.  I\'m an ass and I know it.  I\'ll continue to be an ass until I\'m 6 feet under!

You\'ll still be an ass when you\'re 6 feet under.

You know it!  Instead of annoying the living, I\'ll be pissing off the dead.

Maybe I am a jerk, I don\'t know.  Believe it or not, a lot of times, I know that I disagree with the mindset of most of the people on the board, and what I say will make me come across as a jerk.  But if I didn\'t say anything, then what good would this "forum" be?  I still love the music this band puts out, but maybe I\'ve run my course with the fans.  Let\'s try this one out (and I\'m not pointing any fingers at anyone)

- I\'m wrong because I speak out against drug use
- I\'m wrong because I speak out against drunk driving
- I\'m wrong because I don\'t think Synergy is the best thing since sliced cheese
- I\'m wrong because I don\'t want to hear a 30+ minute jam when I see the band
- I\'m wrong because I think Ahoy! is a song

Am I wrong for the band?  Am I not in their demographic anymore?  Maybe so, maybe not.  That has yet to be decided.

I really don\'t give a shit.  I\'m an ass and I know it.  I\'ll continue to be an ass until I\'m 6 feet under!

Take a couple of these / smoke a bowl / or see my post in Duanes "This board was never for the meek thread"

Now lets get back to politics here.

I have since retired my Vader costume.  It will live with those that were at the Baker Quad show.

I get the feeling that it\'s not a smart idea to revive the political thread, but here goes nothing.

An interesting fact: Presumptive facistic Vice Presidential Candidate Joe Biden sponsored the RAVE Act. That\'s the law that, in part, makes it legal to punish club/bar owners for holding a concert that "promotes drug use".

Now I\'m not saying this makes Obama/Biden worse than the alternative, or that you should vote based upon your ability to smoke a bowl at a Breakfast show, but considering the discussions we had on dotinfo about this law when it was passed, it\'s worth reminding everybody who sponsored it.

(For the record, it was co-sponsored by Chuck Grassley, Orrin Hatch, Joseph Lieberman, Strom Thurmond, Patrick Leahy and Richard Durbin)

I agree that I was very much agains the RAVE act at the time (and I still very much am), but in terms of the VP canditates,

AT LEAST JOE BIDEN SUPPORTS THE TEACHING OF EVOLUTION IN PUBLIC SCHOOL.

This is 2008, not 1922, the US does not need another MONKEY TRIAL!

From February:

I\'ve avoided this thread because it\'d be too time/energy consuming. Now that it seems fairly certain that we\'re looking at McCain vs. Obama, hopefully Obama will be the last man standing. I fear McCain because of our current situation and his history/family tree that gives credit to the idea that being in a war is a natural state.

Of course there are question marks with Obama, but after having trouble formulating a solid opinion on him for over a year now, I\'ve decided that I do in fact like him and where he stands on most issues and he will get my confident vote.

Of course his VP running mate will be interesting and important, and I\'ll cross my fingers for Joe Biden (although many say he\'s a possibility but not likely). I\'ve been a Biden supporter for awhile, if he ran with Obama he\'d give him the experience that everyone fears that he lacks, especially with his foreign affairs resume. (< <  anyone know how to get tildes and accents above the letter desired? I\'ve struggled with this since I was a nin~o)

:disco:

McCain was/would have been the ideal choice in 2000. The reason why he didn\'t win that nomination is because he couldn\'t win the "rebulican base" (read: evangelical right).

He probably would have been a good choice in 2004.

He is definately not the best choice in 2008, and, worst off, in order to give himself at least a chance of victory he picked, for VP, a member of the "rebulican base" who was definetly NOT the best choice (in terms of real executive crediatals; in my opinion McCains VP has as good a chance of being president as William Tylor did).

YES, the whale shark is back!
