THE CANCER KILLING PDCOM - Blow-by-Blow Coverage of Democratic Primary Race

[DarkStar]

Alan Keyes is certainly running this year, but he got in the race very late.

I'll recon it today and we can go in tomorrow.  Thread in O:MF and everything.  Should be fun.

Awaiting approval.

Danny DeVito in a fursuit 2008!

[hooplala]

Is he still alive?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Shit, does it matter?

Same.  Urgh.

[hunter s.durden]

It's been 20 hours since I registered, and no approval yet.

I'm guessing people aren't breaking down doors to join that forum, so the mods check in about once a month.

[LMNO]

Damn.

Damn damn damn.  I fucking knew it.

Relevant bits:

Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) is not concerned about the "technical definition" of a recession. Nor is he scrambling to pay for proposals to jumpstart the economy. He just knows that people across the country are struggling, and his mix of tax cuts and direct spending will give the economy a fast-acting fix, he says.

And how will he pay for the proposal?

He doesn't plan to.

"from a perspective of a one-time temporary boost, it's important for us to just get the money out."

Deficit spending.

The guy who was stringing us along with "hope" and "change" is going to use the same retarded economic strategy as Bush.

Enjoy your $300 check.  Your grandchildren will burn you in effigy.

Well, it'll end up changing the country, eventually, so its not like he is lying.

It will turn the USA from a country with a functional, if fucked up economy into a third world country.  Your children will hope that one day someone will realize how fucked up this economic plan is.

No-one ever said change was good.

VOTE OBAMA!

I don't wanna me a 'murrican no more... *sniff, sniff, cry*

Well, at least the job I have is fairly secure. I'm not likely to go unemployed when our country goes into massive economic recession. I'll probably take huge gouges in pay and benefits, but at least I'll have something. I consider that better than nothing.

But god damn if it doesn't make me want to start stabbing people with the pointy end...

Naw, look at the world stock markets, we won't be going down alone...

Anyone catch the interview he did where he praised Reagan and tried to paint himself as the Reagan Democrat?

Also, anyone catch the interview Romney did at a Staples in which he was dancing around whether or not he had a lobbyist running his campaing.  I think he has been studying at the Bill Clinton Institute of Word Parsing.

Are you serious?
The Republican candidates are expected to show how "Reagan" they are, but a Dem?

He's doing it wrong.

[Diseris]

He's doing it wrong.

-depends on the real objective surrounding his candidacy.  Could be another set-up, like John Forbes Kerry, the best guy on the democratic side that the republicans can actually beat in a general election.

John Kerry is an idiot. If he was truly the best that the Dems could throw up against Bush... then America got what it deserved because apparently we suck.
