i'm gonna go with kerry. it appears that dean is falling out of favor with the party, and edwards won't win in new hampshire, as he's not liberal enough.
clark's good, but he won't win new hampshire either, and if he does, i'll be very surprised.
anyways, i'm for kerry...
Santo
01-20-2004, 10:10 PM
I'm voting Kerry too. Although I think I may be more partial to Edwards-doesn't look like he's gonna win.
dopefish
01-20-2004, 11:25 PM
I'm for Clark though I wouldn't be against Kerry or Edwards. But I definately don't want Dean. Never liked the guy from the very start.
It's possible Clark could win in New Hamshire... But time will tell.

I want Clark or Kerry and Dean is losing popularity fast. Then again I would vote for a bottle of White-Out before I voted for George Bush again.

Agreed. The only problem I see with Clark is that if he's the democratic canadate, he may have a much tougher time then say Kerry would against Bush.

Dean was the frontrunner long before Iowa, but seemed to lose quite a bit of momentum. All the better for Kerry and Edwards.

Boondock Saint
01-23-2004, 08:32 AM
well, good luck b/c last night was the last one. now you need to do your own research. and debates aren't ever the way to go anyway. the moderators all think they're cool shit, and then they don't let the candidates answer fully...
anyways, yeah...no more debates.
Silliw 2
01-23-2004, 09:50 AM
Prof, did you vote Bush in 2000?
Dean has the heart...but I'm not sure if he would be right for the job. Then again, Pres is more or less a puppet anyway. It's the administration.
Anyone else hear Deans speech where he screeched/roared/farted/made that weird noise. the press won't let the man be, lol.
Boondock Saint
01-23-2004, 11:51 AM
yeah, i heard that speech. whatever, i don't much like dean. i don't dislike him a lot, but he's not the best choice...and i think what the professor meant is that he'd vote for anyone else before he ALLOWS bush to get re-elected.
...unless of course he's a newly formed liberal, in which case, good choice!
but, he's too sure of liberalism to be that...so i'm going with my first option...now, let's see if he answers and if i'm right...
Professor Go
01-23-2004, 12:01 PM
Silliw, I voted for Gore that year, and I remember specifically the night Bush was announced the *absolute* winner, my heart just dropped into my stomach - I could not believe a man with no debate skills and such a disgusting record on pollution, executions and drug/alcohol abuse in the past could not only have gotten that far, but have WON against candidates much smarter and better for the job. It floored me.
So this year, I only hope the American public realizes exactly where we are in the world, what we're doing and how we are presenting ourselves in a global forum and votes for a candidate that will get us the hell out of this war and back to domestic issues like education (and no not Bush's "Leave Children in Poor Schools Behind" agenda) and the economy.
HMPH!
Boondock Saint
01-23-2004, 12:19 PM
amen to all of that. people say gore's boring, but you know what? he knows his shit, and that's a LOT more than anyone can say for bush. in fact, many of his supporters think it's "cute" how he's always bumbling around and all that stupid crap. man, if it were a democrat they'd call it incompetence. either way, i'd see it as stupid.
Santo
01-23-2004, 12:43 PM
The problem with Gore was he was too much like a robot. Trust me, I'd much rather have Gore in the white house than Bush, but personally I don't think either are ideal presidents.
Professor Go
01-23-2004, 12:45 PM
I agree Gore really needed to loosen up, and when they tried to make him seem hip or something unlike a robot with constipation, it just made him look even worse.
Clinton though.. that was a guy you could love. And apparently have sex with.
Boondock Saint
01-23-2004, 03:15 PM
man, if our country could do as good right now as under clinton...i'd give pretty much anything. i just can't believe it's actually this bad. have you guys seen the 'bush in 30 seconds' ads at moveon.org? they're actually really good...you should check them out.
David85
01-23-2004, 03:28 PM
I rather run the country, I prob could do a better job.
But coming from Mass I most ask one question...
WHY IN THE NAME OF EVERYTHING LIVING DO YOU WACKOS FREAKIN LIKE KERRY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
and....
WHY DID YOU START LIKING HIM ON SATURDAY?!?!?!?!?!?!
WHAT MADE YOU CHANGE YOUR MINDS ABOUT HIM?!?!?!?!
Boondock Saint
01-23-2004, 03:42 PM
i always picked him over dean and edwards. i never changed my mind about him.
what i think kerry is able to do is actually deliver on his economic plans, and if he can get the economy under some realm of control, then that's reason enough for me to like him. he also lends credibility to the democratic party. the GOP can't target him as unpatriotic...he's a veteran and has served several senate terms. he's everything the GOP will hate to run against, and if he can hold sway with the veterans vote, then we've got them as well, especially if he points out how bush has made cuts to military pay, veterans' benefits, etc. over the course of the past year.
David85
01-23-2004, 03:54 PM
Don't pull that "veteran" shit on me. As soon as he came back from the war he dropped out and started to protest against it.
Kerry's nuymbers last week were like 7-15% then he wins it out of no where and based on nothing. I poll done in Mass shows that we, the people from his home state, don't want him as president.
Santo
01-23-2004, 04:05 PM
I actually think it's pretty cool that he came home and protested the war. Just showed that he's far from afraid of showing his political viewpoint, and that he'll fight for a cause.
David85
01-23-2004, 04:13 PM

How can you crap on Kerry for actually standing up for what he believes in? At least he's not a flag-waving patriotic sheep pushing for war because the President thinks it's right.
David85
01-23-2004, 04:40 PM
Oh I'm sorry I don't like Kerry, who I know more than any of you. He doesn't burn flags, no, but he voted yes on the war, and then stood with that for a while, then said no, then yes, then no. He flip flops as much as Dean.
Santo
01-23-2004, 04:55 PM
No offense but that's quite an arrogant thing to say. How do you know you know more about Kerry than any of us?
As for going back and forth on supported the war, so did most americans. I, myself at times supported the war like I think just about everybody else did. Bush presented us with an array of (false) information and pretty much got the support of everybody.
Professor Go
01-23-2004, 05:05 PM
Damn skippy - good point Santo.. I mean can you really say Bush hasn't done the same? Bush has flip-flopped on justifying the war since the beginning.. here's some quotes from Shrub and Co.
"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction...to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us."
Well that's a bit scary isn't it? Of course none have been found.
""the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas"
Holy crap.. THOUSANDS OF TONS? Well, of course this rumor was debunked by his own staff.
Remember when he said Iraq was trying to get chmicals and agents from Africa to build his own nuclear weapons that he could use within a year?
I mean it's this constant barrage of wrong information followed by different justifications .. Bush is not innocent of flip-flopping, or for that matter, flat out lying.
Boondock Saint
01-23-2004, 05:21 PM
goddam right. kerry thought vietnam was wrong. hell, he was there, so why should you tell him he's wrong when he was over there and that's why he thought it was wrong? were you in vietnam?
bush sucks, plain and simple, and i'd elect a goddam piece of cellophane before i let him back in office.
Santo
01-23-2004, 05:29 PM
Exactly. Which I think is just more justification of why he should win out.
David85
01-23-2004, 06:41 PM
See, this is the problem with today. People vote for the other side just because they hate the other side more. Everyone hates Bush ands why not, he wants to spend 1.5 billion to "save" marriage, the whole alien thing, the BS space thing, basicly pissing off everyone that isn't reglinious. They everything he says is "God is on our side", isn't that what the terrorist say?
I'm not going to vote, everyone running are dumbasses and none should be presidents.

Brilliant. Simply brilliant Professor.
Should probally mention that Bush visited my Home state of Arizona yesterday to talk to students at a community collee, and have a casual Mexican dinner with some local sports moguls (although i think he came here to kiss Arizonas ass, seeing as though he barely won it in 2000). I wish somebody dropped the hot fajita in his lap. Now makes me wonder whos going to win these next few primaries.

I'd rather see an N-Gage in office instead of Bush.
The funny thing is about his "No Child is Left Behind" policy is that almost no teachers support it. My Mom is a teacher and apparently everyone will retire when the law comes fully into effect. How will this help the American Education system?!? The only hope is that a Democrat wins the election and he can get rid of the No Child Left Behind crap when it comes back to be re-approved.
I checked out some of the ads on www.moveon.org awhile back and alot of them are hilarious. It's just too bad that they won't be able to show the winning one on CBS. CBS refuses to air it:. Here's why:
--
"Dear friend,
During this year's Super Bowl, you'll see ads sponsored by beer companies, tobacco companies, and the Bush White House. But you won't see the winning ad in MoveOn.org Voter Fund's Bush in 30 Seconds ad contest. CBS refuses to air it.
Meanwhile, the White House and Congressional Republicans are on the verge of signing into law a deal which Senator John McCain (R-AZ) says is custom-tailored for CBS and Fox, allowing the two networks to grow much bigger. CBS lobbied hard for this rule change; MoveOn.org members across the country lobbied against it; and now the MoveOn.org ad has been rejected while the White House ad will be played. It looks an awful lot like CBS is playing politics with the right to free speech.
Of course, this is bigger than just the MoveOn.org Voter Fund. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) submitted an ad that was also rejected. We need to let CBS know that this practice of arbitrarily turning down ads that may be "controversial" – especially if they're controversial simply because they take on the President – just isn't right.
To watch the ad that CBS won't air and sign the petition to CBS to run these ads, go to:
http://www.moveon.org/cbs/ad/
MoveOn.org will deliver the petition by email directly to CBS headquarters.
Thanks."

This is an ad they want to air during the Super Bowl. For those of you who did not realize, the Super Bowl is THE MOST WATCHED TELEVISION EVENT IN THE WORLD. That means world-wide people(including our troops who will certainly be viewing it) can watch it. Do you really think it is appropriate to have a commercial bashing our leader during an airing of a staple in American culture? That would make it anti-propaganda, as in it would hurt our moral while boasting our enemies'.
Showing us so divided on such a LARGE international scale makes us look weak, something we don't need during this time of terrorism (which is now more present than ever IMO). Air the commercial any other time, just keep it out of the Super Bowl
David85
01-23-2004, 11:25 PM
Well the Super Bowl isn't that much watched, hell American Idol last year beat it.
Boondock Saint
01-24-2004, 10:17 AM
i do believe it's something that needs to be seen, no matter who's watching. you know why? b/c the country IS actually that divided. it's not like a huge secret we're keeping from the rest of the world. they know exactly what's going on here. but, taking ads and not allowing them to be shown is a form of censorship, and i say that if cbs is going to allow you to see 'anti-drug' commercials and whatnot that the gov't itself puts out and pays for, then they could at least show other political views.
to think that it's going to make the country look bad is perhaps the stupidest idea anyone's ever had. the country already looks bad, and we're not fooling anyone by trying to put a happy face on a situation that everyone in the world KNOWS is shit. so, white guy, you'd better come up with a solution quick...like, i don't know, invading the entire world.

How appropriate is it to watch commercials where women turn into dancing whores for beer? I'm not sure you realize it but like Boon said, we are already divided, this country is NOT unanimous on what needs to be done and how they feel about the president and his war. If anything the Superbowl is the best time to have non-violent dissent be present.. what a disgusting thought that all sides of the issue can't be portrayed in the media because it would make the country "look" bad.

People who watch the super bowl ads develop their own ideas of how our entire country is. If they see an anti bush ad they are going to believe our entire country hates him and we were ALL against the war. Thats bullshit. That is eliminating the voice of half of our population. You hate the guy, good for you, but half of our country doesnt, what about them. By airing this thing it shows that our entire country hates the man, which isnt true. On the other hand, by not showing it, it says nothing and leaves the politics out of a sporting event
Are you fine with half of the country's opinion being ignored as long as yours is showed? And please dont be a smart ass and point out the election, that is just how our system works
And, like i said, by airing said ad it does insinuate that it is the consensus of the entire nation. So when the soldiers around the world watch the Super Bowl they will be thinking no one is for OUR leader and they are dieing in vain
David85
01-24-2004, 06:32 PM
By not showing it it says a lot. I hate both beer and cheerleaders and they still show those ads. What about the majority of the people in the USA that don't like either one of them? You're eliminating more than half the population!

yeah, b/c no one knows that network television SELLS ad space for MONEY, rather than the channels/citizens putting on whatever they want to...really good argument there.

01-25-2004, 08:45 AM
yeah...bush is synonomous with with fourth of july, so we all have to respect him on that day. it's like saying that 9/11 is a holy day now and that we all must sit in front of the tv in awe of the time the great uniter helped our nation through it's biggest trial. but seriously, why does it have to be better? what the HELL does that have to do with whether or not an organization wants to pay $3 million to have a commercial on the super bowl? i think that you're just making things up to make yourself look like not a moron, white guy. you know what i wish was better? people's outlook on things. instead of jackasses like you going, 'the democrats aren't any better than bush, so i'm gonna vote for bush because i guess i like the guy' we need more people going, 'you know what? bush is an idiot. not only is he an idiot, but the things that he's done good for the country are minimal. i know i'm a republican, but even i can see the error of my own ways.' see, this thing isn't an anti-republican thing, it's not even really an anti-bush thing...it's a "hey, we're tired of our economy/internat'l relations/the war/veterans rights/etc." sucking type thing. i mean, if you don't notice how things are completely worse right now, in a republican and a democrat sense, then you're not putting much thought into it. even john mccain says the president's f*cking up on the goddam daily show, and then says that he's going to support him for re-election. jesus christ! and he's a really good guy. i wish he'd WON against bush, i'd vote for him. do you know why? b/c he knows what "policy" even means. b/c he might know how to do SOMETHING/ANYTHING that even remotely deals with international relations. you know my main gripe with bush's international policy? there isn't one! that's the problem with it. maybe he should've done some travelling before he became president (you know, like to...anywhere at all) and maybe he could've seen that we live in a world where the US isn't the only country. but no...he didn't. regardless, why does any of that have to do with whether or not an advertisement, political or not, can be shown during the goddam super bowl? it's f*cking TELEVISION! if people put that much stock into tv, then we're f*cked anyway.

01-25-2004, 10:32 AM
Good post Boondock. Personally I think we need to state exactly why we have certain views and back it up with cold hard facts. Simply saying "the war sucks" okay, you think the war sucks. But WHY? And not only why does it suck, but try to think from the opposite point of view (the republicans). A good argument is only one that examines both ends of the spectrum.
Shoxx
01-25-2004, 10:39 AM
I voted Kerry. It seems like he'd be the best choice. Rev. Sharpton would be alright for a candidate, but, he'd need to work a lot on his political skills. Kinda like Arnold did.
And I think Kerry has a good chance of beating Bush this time around, too. Let us hope Lieberman doesn't get it, because if he wins the election, we might as well say goodbye to M rated videogames.

Very good. He gets very annoying going after the videogame business.

I was under the impression he was in Iowa. But eitherway, he's still gonna drop out soon, he's a smart man but definitely not fit to be president.

I dont hate Bush. i have NEVER said i like the man, all i have done is said i dont disagree with everything hes done. I guess if im not a bush-basher i am automatically a war mongaring republican. Alright. Atleast i am capable of taking alternative views. Atleast I havent been sitting, waiting patiently to jump on bush the instant he made a mistake ever since his election. I am not one of those people who have held some sort of self-righteous agenda since inauguration. It seems like I am in the minority when i can accept when he makes a mistake as well as when he does well.

Hey! Dont take Iowa for granted! Once the Armageddon arives, corn will become the new currency. Kind of like how pez dispensers would have become the new form of money if that Y2k thing wasnt a hoax

White Guy I don't think you're a warmongering anything, but I do think your idea that we shouldn't broadcast anti-politician advertisements during one of the most watched tv shows in the world simply because it would "make us look bad" is amazingly silly.
I can give Bush credit when he does right - I was surprised when he raised the budget to fight AIDS here and in 3rd world countries.. and then I was disgusted when the funds seem to have not gone through and suddenly it's not a priority. Then I was glad to see he was taking an interest in education with his "Leave no Child Behind" theme.. and then I saw that schools won't be able to afford the changes, leaving teachers without jobs and schools closing because they don't have the financial means to live up to Bush's standards.
It's like he goes out of his way to piss people off.. drilling in wildlife reserves?? Making gay marriage illegal forever? Holy shit, it's like this man has totally lost any compromise when dealing with his liberal political counterparts..
Eh... I guess he just pisses me off and I don't see any reason why the ad shouldn't run. Or how such a moron could be president.

there would never be any truth in that. the only way i'd miss bush is if that asshole jerry falwell was president...and that'd never happen.

well, that was the worst possible candidate for me wanting bush...actually, i'd probably still not want bush, but be willing to put up with him again...

I seriously cannot picture him with his eyes open for some reason. I just see him squinting under those huge eyebrows of his. Plus, he's skrawny. Very superficial i suppose, but a strong leader must stimulate the subconscience

whats silly about it? most people already know that Bush is an idiot. Now we want to go and make a commercial admitting that we're idiots. that makes no sense. like when your accused of stealing the last pork chop do you say "it wasnt me! it was aaunt zelda!" or "yes i took the pork chop."? you cover your ass until the bad stuff ends.

prime timer, before you want to talk about things that make no sense, take a look at your argument. first, in order for your argument to be true, there has to be a 100% concensus of americans that bush is wrong, which there isn't. second, it doesn't matter, b/c it's a f*cking television commercial...is anyone else not getting this? networks SELL space...the people who made the commercial want to PAY for it. they're not hijacking the ad time or anything...isn't it the PUBLIC airwaves? meaning that ANYTHING the PUBLIC has to say should be allowed to air on it?
i don't know...maybe i'm just too logical to get bogged down in patriotism and all this other shit.
i vote we have a monarchy instead of a democracy.....oh... wait....
wrong thread......

You should have made "shit" to be in bold print... that would kick arse.
