A gimmick to entice the young voters?
Perhaps...

I am betting it'll be Biden.....

You have to admit he made it pretty far.

so did kerry. obama speaks tough against things, yet has yet to come out with anything substantial about how he would go about doing anything.

Most definitely. "Hey look at me, I'm important, I got a text message from Obama telling me who the VP will be."


Seems pretty lame to me.

that's precisely what it is... right along side the whole plan of accepting the nomination in Bronco's stadium, where they're planning a day long music festival before hand.
his campaign is spoon feeding the young voters, and they're eating it up

Well then Obama's people are doing a fine job.

Now if only i can tget Ron Paul to break dance for us...

wow, what a fucking gimmick.

I know plenty of my friends will be all exciting of this.

Anything that will keep us from enduring another four years of Bush is a great gimmick.

OK, Min0,

Maybe now is the time for you to start a thread on who the next VP of both parties will be.

We can even use cyber-cash or something like that.

I think Kaine is a no. He's too inexperienced and has no foreign policy experience.

That's hilarious! So what! If he's elected, the President won't either!



This is nothing more that a ploy to get phone numbers he can later call asking for a donation.

BTW.. how is this a "historic turn"?

Amen to that!

That's the whole idea, much like when Ross Perot was running for President he had a experianced war veteran as his running mate.
I will say though that most of these countries right now seem to like Obama.....unlike your boy Bush and Cheney who they all despise.

Will do.

Very true.. and that usually means something. Could you explain how Socialist Europe's opinion of Americans or it's President has any bearing on me?

See that's the problem.. this isn't a popularity contest. We're talking about the leader of our country. Do me a favor.. find out why they don't like McCain & we'll talk. (I'll give you a hint.. he's not a socialist or a coward).

Sorry, I thought you were a Bush boy.
There are ways a dealing with people without them hating you.
I get away with it all the time, just have know how to sweeten the venom you give out.

In many ways I do still like Bush. He's gone soft lately, but that's because of his unpopularity.

Don't agree with him on a lot, but he kept us safe for 8 years. People often ignore that and/or deny it.. it's a shame. He had a lot to deal with & didn't handle everything well. Easy to criticize him from the cheap seats. The Democrats are the worst offenders, but that's politics: I just wish people saw through them once in a while.

Reagan was neither a socialist nor a coward and he faced a bigger threat.....you could say he had balls of steel.

He wasn't hated, was he?

God, I wish he was still here so he could spank the dummy and donkey punch Cheney in the face.


Talk to me.

How much can it be his fault? They say Cheney has a huge influence on him.

I didn't help him when a few of his good people bailed out on him.

i would really think that what we face today is more difficult than the cold war. how many soldiers died in the cold war? yet during bush's presidency we lost thousands of civilians on US soil. Bush's presidency was much more difficult than reagans in my opinion.

during reagans time we were against the russians and communism as a whole. now everyone is so homosexually politically correct that if someone says we are against the arabs or muslims they throw a fit. it is much easier when you can paint someone as the bad guy.

I have to disagree with you on that, Russia was no joke back then and if we ever went to war with them it would have been very messy. They had more than enough weapons to do some damage to us and they knew how to use them.
Without a doubt they would have attacked US soil.

It's not always about beating the crap out of everyone, it's about using your brains to get out of a fight and get what you want.

You must have been too young to remember.

That itself was a victory.

yet during bush's presidency we lost thousands of civilians on US soil.

Need I say more.

Nope, go read a little about him. He wasn't perfect but he makes Bush Jr. seem......well Bush.

The Arab has always been there, do you remember the Iran hostage situation?

If you look at history, the russians were even more scared of a nuclear war than we were. we also had many back channels for communication with the russians. how many channels of communication do we have with the terrorists? fighting a group that does not have a country is much more difficult scenario. dont give me that too young crap.

beating the crap out of everyone? using your brains to get out of a fight? pray tell all wise one. what should we have done differently to avoid losing civilian lives on american soil? and after that what should we have done to "get what we want" by "using our brains"

The threat level (nuclear war) is greater, but the decisions were more clear cut. (and im not marginalizing the difficulty of decisions our presidents had to make during the cold war) I do not think the decision making process during the last 8 years was in any way easier than the decisions of previous presidents. I believe it was even more difficult.

and yet it was against IRAN that we could direct our anger, not arabs.

tell me, what should bush have done differently to prevent 9-11? do you really blame bush for that?

I always confuse them, still a confrontation.

I can't blame him, who really knows.

Don't take that as an insult, I get told the same about the Vietnam War.
In truth I was too young too know about it so when I was told to look into it I didn't take it as an insult.

By the way I overheard these kids mention how this was is worse than the Vietnam War and all I could do was laugh.
