Can I ask what crimes Ayers has been convicted of?

I'm thinking more along the lines of the Hardy Boyz.

A kind of parliamentary system who's chief executive is really nothing more than a figurehead. Putting one man in charge of the largest military in the world is just dumb.

Well isn't that kind of the risk they assumed when they made the pick? Remember everybody saying this was going to either make or break the election for McCain. Of course the McCain camp could've done a better job assessing the risk if they knew jack s*** about her (it took the left-wing blogs about 24 hours to scrape up enough dirt on her to force a public announcement). But who would replace her? If you kick her off and put in Pawlenty or Romney that wouldn't generate much buzz in the base and talk about alienating the woman vote. It's a screwed up situation for them, keep Palin and just hope the bleeding stops or just save some of the parties image and try not to lose damn near all of their seats in Congress?

Awww snap somebody read their HuffPost this morning! I dont think they'll drop her unless the corruption really starts to seep through. Like Stevens throws her under the bus to save his own ass or Troopergate goes nuclear. This family issue stuff wont do it even if there is sex involved.

When it happened to McGovern it slaughtered any chance he ever had.

Wealth -> Arrogance -> Apathy -> 2008

Let's be honest, anybody who cares about the issues has their mind made up by now. The rest of the campaign will be dictated by gotcha bulls*** so if the other side wants to play this game I'm down. This is why democracy is a failed concept.

This will be gone tomorrow morning, so all you night-owls will at least get a little bit of a laugh: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...endid=244796355 Thats the daddy.

No, I've convinced them it would be racist if they ban me.

Thanks! I'm not sure if that will actually work against some right-wing nutjobs elsewhere, but I'll try.

I dont think you have any idea what it's been like being a Barack Obama supporter since about March. The Whitey Tape, Rev. Wright, birth certificates, Ayers... its a never ending stream of smear from the right. The Democrats fight back a little for all of 36 hours and not only do they get huge results, but an absolute trail of tears flowing from the land of the Right.

Can I get a link to that?

McCain's been up to these dirty tricks all summer, Obama has ways of getting this out.

This is pretty much Tom Eagleton II.

Well I wasn't here for it, but I heard it was in a parking lot. Unrelated music news: Arcade Fire are supposedly working on a documentary about the whole Neon Bible experience. I really like the Arcade Fire, so this is pretty much some of the greatest news ever.

Not in this country. If they postpone the convention at all we'll never hear the end of how humanitarian John McCain is. One way or another Hurricane Gustav is going to get politicized to death.

I blame the Google.

Buy real estate on the Mississippi Delta guys, its a f***ing boom town!

Democracy wont work unless we viciously attack each other until vultues pick at our rotting corpses. Be prepared, I dont know read a book in print or something... I know how you Libertarians get about those internets.

Some other time, I've been drinking and am about to leave. Believe me, I would love to spend some time trashing Capitalism!

Were just putting it off because there's bound to be a clash between a Libertarian (or at least thats what I think DrunkBomber is) and a Socialist if they're within such close proximity. But please, in the future dont bring communism into the discussion at all. You wouldn't call Norway or Sweden communist countries would you?

19 years old. But there's a real reason I am a Socialist: By taxing the rich more and providing the middle and lower class with necessities like the aforementioned food, water and shelter you broaden the middle class significantly. A larger middle class creates a much stronger consumer base which as anybody with common sense knows is good for an economy. All Capitalism does is polarize rich and poor until the gap becomes unsustainable. The last time this happened was the late 20's, and this country went through a massive liberal revolution to get ourselves out of that mess.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather have the government take care of my needs than somebody looking to brand and package something as intrinsically necessary as water for a profit. Sometimes I wonder what Capitalism has done to us as a people, have we become so comfortable with a profit driven society that we just accept it that people are deprived of things like food and shelter because some multi-billionaire needs his pockets lined?
