Democrats could have a worse candidate....

The only thing I watch on CN anymore is Venture Brothers, and that season's over this coming Sunday night.

[Derrick]

But season 4 is being made right now.

[B E C K]

I've never watched a reality show because I don't like to see people being humiliated.   I've never seen Jerry Springer.

Yeah, but some people have it coming and I love seeing that.  I burned myself out on Jerry years and years ago but I'll still catch the occasional episode.  Nothing like the rallying cry of "sit down, whore!"  The last time I saw it, they actually had puppets reacting to shit.  It was hilarious.

I watched a little bit this morning.  They had a security guard with the lower half of his body missing.  Can't imagine how good of a security guard he'd be.

If Obama picks Biden for VP, I think the republicans have this. If McCain picks Romney... then ditto. If the RNC were smart, they'd pick some ultra conservative to point to his succession.

I can't risk the notion of whomping some sense into Eddie's mom and brother with a folding chair seeming too much like a good idea because of TV hypnosis.  It's already crossed my mind a few times.

I don't see Obama getting help from any of those in the pool unless it's Hillary, but I think both would rather die than share a ticket.  I would imagine that he'd be better served with a more moderate veep than those being touted, as I don't think running a partisan leftist for President with a more established partisan leftist will do much to help his campaign.  I'd laugh my ass off if it turns out that former yet now non-Democrat Joe Lieberman gets the nod...it'd widen the ticket's appeal by a light year to cut into the moderate vote that McCain's angling for, and it'd give a big middle-finger to establishment party politics.

McCain OTOH would benefit from a conservative to shore up the base, but rumors keep roiling over him picking a pro-choice moderate.  Romney would be better than Tom Ridge, particularly due to his economic acumen.  But he and McCain share similar weaknesses in that they're known for rolling on issues and having a light social record.  And adding a cult member to the ticket won't suit us fundies who already aren't solidly on the McCain bandwagon.  I'm thinking Huckabee's looking really good to them right now, as are several of the other Republican governors like Pawlenty and Palin (the female appeal of whom might help sway Hillary supporters as well as middle-aged male chauvinist pigs). 

It boils down to this irrefutable fact: this election will be an up-or-down referendum on Obama.  He might as well put out "I Believe in Barry Obama" signs, because it's going to come down to whether people like and trust him or not.  Either you foolishly believe in the "change Change CHANGE" mantra and that he'll stop the business-as-usual, Washingtonian, institutionalized politics of the present, or you're scared of him turning us red and decide to vote for the perceived lesser evil.  The vice-presidential nominee is immaterial at this point.

I'm getting sick of the McCane ads against Obama that show him with a stupid grin on his face, his upper teeth sticking out like a donkey. What better way to show the world your opponent isn't right for the job than making him look like a retarded black man.

Racist ads FTW.

That would be the guy who walks on his hands, right? I've always wondered how he goes to the bathroom if his ass and man organs are missing. Hell, it looks like everything below the belt is missing, including his bladder.

[ChelseySuzie]

Maybe he poops out his skin like a worm does.  Or do they eat through their skin...?

Of course, that's it!  Racism. 

You should look into becoming a paid PMSNBC contributor.

[Derrick]

As opposed to Fox News.

What the fuck are you talking about?  Of course you want to show unflattering images of your opponent, and no matter what kind of image you have of Obama he'll always be black in said image.  God damn I wish you were in some of my classes in college.  You'd say something retarded like that and then I'd stand up and call you out for being retarded in a rich smooth baritone voice, every girl in there would cream her panties at my perceived intellectual prowess and willingness to instigate confrontation.

[Rodent of Unusual Size]

As opposed to Fox News.

I thought about recommending them, but figured he'd be more at home with DNC-TV.

[Derrick]

You don't even want to start... but then yeah MSNBC is as much DNC as Fox is RNC.

[Rama]

I'm just basking in the glow of the most racist douche bag here playing the race card.

It's like canned sunshine. 

[Bernie AKA]

Actually, Obama pokes fun at the way he looks himself all the time.  And if someone is thinking, "Hell, no,  ain't goan' vote fer that ole jug-eared buck-tooth nigger!", it's not going to be because of anything McCain says or does - that decision was made long before either McCain or Obama announced their intentions.  Probably before anyone had really heard of Obama.

[Rodent of Unusual Size]

I personally don't care if people vote against him because they're racists or not...so long as they vote against him.

[Derrick]

I enjoy how people still say they know nothing about Obama... just fess up that you hate him because he's Liberal, or black, or a shill for the DNC and basically the Democrat George W. Bush.

[Rodent of Unusual Size]

Without any bias, we have access to both his Illinois legislative and Congressional voting records, he's made plenty of speeches, and we know who he hangs out with.  So what else is there to find out about him?  All it amounts to is a bunch of a-holes with the right to vote but are too lazy to make an informed one.

[Derrick]

McCain wins, all the shit Biden talked about him... they'll paint them as incompatible.

[B E C K]

I disliked Obama the minute the word "change" came out of his mouth.

Actually, Obama pokes fun at the way he looks himself all the time.  And if someone is thinking, "Hell, no,  ain't goan' vote fer that ole jug-eared buck-tooth nigger!"

[Bernie AKA]

The GOP convention should be a hoot....

McCain opposes drilling in that protected land, (ANWAR) and some committee members said they would rather bring him around on the issue once he's in the White House. "He's not there yet," said delegate Jeff Grossman of Oregon. "Prudence would dictate that we leave the text as it is until our candidate catches up with us."

Sounds kind of like "Oh, I'll change him once we get married!" 

[Rodent of Unusual Size]

I don't trust McCain not to buttkiss the Democrats the whole time he's in office, which is why I will not vote for him.

Same with me and Obama.
