"Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."

My dad and I had a good laugh+cry at that one when we heard it

I've got a feature on my myspace page called the chimp-o-matic. Every time you go to my page it displays a different dumb-ass quote by bush. Great fun.

[Optimus Prime]

So you've discovered INFINITY!?!?!?!!? :eek:

Einstein would be proud.

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

It never seems to run out of quotes. infinity indeed.

Grant was very, very bad. Hoover gets more blame than he deserves but he was a crook as well.

No comment on Johnson?

[Optimus Prime]

Sorry.

Johnson.....he had the misfortune of following Lincoln...but he was pretty incompetent to put it lightly. He also hurt the Civil Rights movement and almost always sided with the White South in his administration.

He did purchase Alaska though...the second greatest land purchase in United States History after the Louisiana Purchase.

Which Bush now wants to screw up with drillling.

As does McCain. The sad thing is we are all to blame for this current crisis. The Energy Crisis of the 70's should have taught us to start developing alternate sources of energy. Unfortunately, America didn't start paying even comparable rates for gas until a few years ago. We're screwed now.

Dubya wants to ride a horse from the White House (I didn't know there were authentic cowboys from New England by the way ) and invade Canada on his way to drilling up Alaska.

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetard.

Want to get your liberal anger up? Watch the documentary Who Killed The Electric Car. It's about how we could have electric cars that go 300 miles on one charge right now, but they got killed by the oil and car companies. Pisses me off.

Seen it.

I want to go :zanth: all over them when I see it.

We SHOULD invade Canada, but we should let them keep Quebec. And Texas.

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

They could form their own country, Canxas. Not to be confused with cankles, which are found primarily in Ohio.

To this question and poll. I've no idea.

Perhaps i should read up on what each one has said they will do and how, then how it in turn will effect America, and in turn the world. But i find myself strangely uninterested as if the whole thing is just some new bizarre American esq type comedy with lots of the usual pauses and catchprazes that become the funniest part , but then in the end the actors end up as destitute cocaine addicts who no ones ever heard of.

Basically, if they are like normal politicians then whatever they say is bollocks and when in the white house or whatever seat of power said politician is in they will be controlled anyhow.

So its pretty irrelevant.

But if i had to vote it will be Obama cos he wears nice suits.

See, Humanity, apparently Welsh for Fickle.

Obama has now went back on his word and rejected federal funding for campaign spending. He had pledged last fall to use federal funding if he won the nomination. It was instituted to insure a level playing field and to reduce runaway spending on campaign funds. The federal amount is about $84million and McCain has agreed to it, though he may backtrack now if he believes he can get more from private donors. The report suggested Obama is expecting to pull in over $200million, so that would be a large disparity if McCain stuck to federal funding.

True story. Of course he changed his mind. He'd be stupid not to. He can put adds and campaign in any state now. McCain isn't even supported that well by his own party.....like I said...unless Obama just chokes this election is his to lose.

[Terez]

Yeah, most of us that are voting for Obama aren't actually upset about it, Pal.

[Optimus Prime]

And most republicans are only mad because their candidate can't raise any money to compete

Ah.....the joy of politics.

To be fair, he did go back on his word to use it.

I don't think there should be any federal money given to these chuckleheads, frankly. Happy Obama isn't going to use it, as long as the statute of equal time is adhered to, then there shouldn't be an issue.

[paladin]

its more of an issue of haves and have nots, especially when a 3rd party candidate is involved. a green party or libertarian candidate could never hope to raise that much money, so instead they provide the federal funding system to insure a level playing field. but the current law allows you to opt out of it, which i think still involves some unfairness in insuring a level playing field. he who has the most money has the most chance for success. its the nature of the world
