*jimmylogan* MADHAT Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 5,612 Joined: Jun 11, 2008 I disagree, to a degree... Among my local (non-virtual) social group, the age is not a key factor. Yes, he's older, but Reagan was older as well, so age is not necessarily "bad."

*Lugal* Luna Sea Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 2,246 Joined: Jan 27, 2008 I had absolutely no delay at all. Walk up, sign in, vote, and out. Took me all of five minutes. I was expecting a line because of higher-than-normal turn out, and because I was getting there during the evening 'rush.' The long lines were making the news, but I don't know how representative they really were. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Nov 5, 2008, 6:20 pm

Whiskey Whiskey Runners Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 691 Joined: Sep 19, 2008 My wife and I were in and out in under 15-minutes. I wonder about these news reports of hours long lines to vote. Considering that the typical US citizen is pretty apathetic when it comes to voting, I strongly suspect that most polling locations are staffed based on "typical" voter turn out. When they get an election like this one that brings out many times the "typical" number of voters, the system breaks down. ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 5, 2008, 7:06 pm

Whiskey Whiskey Runners Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 691 Joined: Sep 19, 2008 Thanks Hula. Sometimes, just when I begin to despair, something comes along that restores my faith in my fellow citizens. I just wish we could get the typical citizen this energized about every election. ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 5, 2008, 8:01 pm

BWGunner DriveByRomance Autodueller Renegade Group: Storytellers + IP Posts: 413 Joined: Mar 22, 2008 I'm sorry, who was the anti-christ in this equation? I am an independent...and an agnostic to the point of believing that gravity is the best description of God I know. But all that aside, I think the Jewish belief in prophets is a real thing. Every generation, every culture, there's a prophet. Jesus was one. John Lennon was one. For all I know, Putin is one. But I know for sure that Obama is one. What I hope, is that he can do what he's been promising. FDR pulled it off, so sometimes I think we just may be on the right path. Welcome to the new world. Let's hope it's a good one. ......................... vet wv cont Posted Nov 5, 2008, 9:15 pm

Mad Mike the mad mad crushers Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Members Posts: 2,900 Joined: Aug 1, 2007 originally only land owners could vote to keep out the idiot factor. Unfortunately now everyone and their dog can vote (and yes acorn signed up quite a few pets as well as their owners) and we get a mass of people that vote according to looks and charm and that leads down a dangerous road.... ie castro, hitler, etc.... obama is not going to suddenly change us to communism or launch an attack to take over the world. but this opens the door for anyone to walk in smile, be liked, have little to no experience and run our country. who knows who will be next when you no longer need to be qualified to run the USA. the electoral college was designed to prevent this but could you imagine if the electoral college negated the vote saying obama isn't qualified to be president and declared mccain the winner? darthspanky's scenerio would quickly take place. I say ok listen to our other citizens regardless of why they voted for obama and give him a shot. the democrats have full control of congress and the white house. They have no excuses. I did not want obama in and there are millions who did not. but lets not be like most democrats and declare obama not our president like they did bush in 2004. If nothing changes in 2 years I will be the first to say I TOLD YOU SO. ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 11, 2008, 3:59 pm

Jety Cuddle Fiesta Darkwind Guru Badlands Truckstop Faction Group: Members Posts: 910 Joined: May 8, 2008 Mike, I disagree. Obama is much much more than a nice smile. He is many things to many people, but a lot of what he is to me is _educated_. Unlike George "even C students can be president" Bush and John "class rank 894 of 899" McCain. Obama can put a string of words together in a coherent sentence, which is more than we can say of our president of the last eight years. Obama IS a very cool cat, and he has a tremendous amount of charisma, but he is also clearly very intelligent. He makes it cool to be smart, and that is what this country needs. No more anti-intellectualism from the right. We're falling way behind in the world, and I think Obama is the most qualified to carry us forward in the direction we need to go. Also, 66 million people agree with me ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 11, 2008, 4:51 pm Last edited Nov 11, 2008, 4:55 pm by Jety

Jety Cuddle Fiesta Darkwind Guru Badlands Truckstop Faction Group: Members Posts: 910 Joined: May 8, 2008 Quote: Out side of the Military... What Government run program works? Ok: Medicare. Medicare, a government run health insurance program, is in fact one of the most streamlined and efficient health insurance programs in the country, easily beating out HMOs and private insurers. In contrast to private insurers Medicare doesn’t have to spend millions on marketing, advertising, and Washington lobbyists.  On top of that, private insurers must generate profits for their shareholders. The great Republican myth is that Democrats are for "big government". The truth of the matter is that even though Democrats push for larger social agendas, Republican presidents have spent far more money in the last 30 years than Democrat presidents. As I look at it, "I'd rather be a tax and spend Democrat than a borrow and spend Republican". For those keeping track of this sort of thing, we're now $10.64 TRILLION in debt as a country. Up from $5.73 when Bush took office. (not even including the 1 trillion we're in the process of giving away to banks) So you tell me, honestly, do you think your rightwing government has had the small footprint it promised in 2004, 2000, 1988, 1984, or 1980? ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 11, 2008, 6:23 pm Last edited Nov 11, 2008, 6:37 pm by Jety

Mad Mike the mad mad crushers Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Members Posts: 2,900 Joined: Aug 1, 2007 I said experience, not intelligence or education. I bet you could point out a few harvard graduates that have no common sense. Why compare Bush to obama? i must have missed george bush on the ballot cuz i dont remember seeing his name there. define anti-intellectualism not sure what you mean there. 50 million people do not agree with you. I am one of them. 95% of black voters voted for obama, you cannot possibly tell me that 95% of a group agree 100% ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 11, 2008, 6:42 pm
