Presidential Debate Tonight - Obama vs. McCain.... DING, DING, DING

[Bannister]

John is right, hence his awesomeness. We all tend to go towards our own biases, nobody goes their lives without being a hypocrite once and a while.

I believe the term is once in a while. You're welcome Beelzebub.

 

[woodsy]

The only VP in this race with ANY experience or actual foreign policy background.

Having a background, or experience in foreign policy is only beneficial if you know what you're doing. Being wrong all the time hardly qualifies Biden for being an expert at foreign affairs.

That just means he has had tons of chances to learn from his mistakes.

 

[ProgMatinee]

So freedom of speech only extents to what is being said...and that playing word games with Osama/Obama is worse than calling Palin "HYPE" AND burning the American flag.

 

[hoodonit00]

Very different and despite what he says below I doubt he fully graps it.



So in other words you're just a ^^^^ stirrer and looking to be a douche. Color me shocked (NOT)

The reasons you pushed any buttons is because its disrespectful on several fronts. You compare Obama to one of the worst people on the planet who killed thousands of people. I don't find playing that kind of a joke funny and my guess is the families involved wouldn't either. Maybe how you where raised its ok to do such things but not how my folks taught me to act.

He did the same damn thing I did when I posted about the kid wearing the anti-Obama shirt. He tested you guys to see if the freedom of speech went both ways, and from both Joshes post it's apparent that it doesn't.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Come on fellas, let's keep it clean. I have met Mesa aka Scott, he seems like an all right guy. So what if we have different opinions, his avatar is definitely doing what he set out for it to do...mix it up. Diff'rent strokes and all that...

 

[ProgMatinee]

In any event, "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" means that the government can't come and arrest your ass for it. It says nothing about whether civilians should or shouldn't call you out for it.

Putting the smack down on someone for burning a flag would be assault, but I've heard of a lot stupider things being the cause of assault.

I didn't say that. I said he's a hypocrite for wanting to take away someones rights but uses it to trash someone comparing them to a horrible human being. I said nothing about him not having the right to do it just that I found it totally disrespectful.

 

[woodsy]

The American public put a stop to the whole process because it was way over the top, and the republicans did control both congress and the senate - look it up.

No, the American public did not put a stop to the impeachment hearings. The decision to remove the impeached Bill Clinton was voted on in the US Senate. A 2/3 majority [or 67 Senators] was required to have Clinton removed from office. Since the Republicans only had 55 possible votes they required the help of the Democrats to remove Clinton, therefore they did not control the Senate in this instance. Of the 45 Democrat Senators not one had the moral integrity [there's a real shocker for you! ] to vote for Clinton's removal.

Feel free to take you own advice next time and "look it up"

 

[Mesa]

I didn't say that. I said he's a hypocrite for wanting to take away someones rights but uses it to trash someone comparing them to a horrible human being.

When did I say this? Now you're making stuff up.

What I said was, if someone wanted to burn the flag in my presence, I'd probably react the same way as if someone called my mother an offensive term. I'd probably go to jail for it too, but some things I won't stand for. But I never said I wanted to take away anyone's rights to exercise their freedom of speech.

Do you think the families who lost loved one on 9/11 think it's funny that Obama's pastor and friend for over 20 years, and a spiritual advisor to his campaign [before his true teachings and beliefs were finally exposed] think's that America "had it coming to them"?

Bill Clinton has no morals at all but I don't think thats just cause to impeach a guy. No offense if we go by that ole Bush should have been given the boot for some of the stuff thats gone on the last 8 years. I let god deal with the moral issues of my candidates.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Getting a BJ is minor.. Sending our country reeling into breakdown/ failure is a major issue. Hope he had fun playing war and getting rich off it. 2 Oil guys running the show.. They suck ass.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Clinton's net worth is more than Bush's.

No doubt Clinton is an immoral sleazebag, but that's not why he was impeached. He was impeached because he broke the law, and that is an impeachable offense.

You just did again. Beating someone up for something you don't like is taking their right to express that feeling. Do you really not get that?

I'm sure they didn't and I highly doubt Obama thought it was funny either. Hence why Obama drop kicked him to the curb.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

Uhhh, Clinton was impeached?..

He was one of our great Presidents IMO and I really am not a Demo or Repub..

yup

Yeah, he broke the law not wanting to tell the world he got a hummer. His wife should have been the one impeaching his sorry butt not Congress.

 

[ProgMatinee]

He was successful during his administration, but I think the world we're experiencing now is part of his legacy too, and GB1 and RR and JC....... no one administration is responsible and no one administration is in the clear.

 

[Bodie The Cursed]

I think what we are experiencing is the result of 8 years of an unpopular extemely expensive war that has no point.
