I can't agree, we've had a trained chimp in there for the past 8 years almost with Cheney as his handler, and I don't think he's made most people happy, not even a little bit.
That's kind of an insult to chimps....

I've seen a trained chimp. My bet is on him being able to say 'nuclear' properly before Bush could. Money's still on Chimp '08.

I WISH I had the intelligence, drive, and work ethic to get into Yale and Harvard Business School, to own a baseball team and climb my way up the political ladder, to get elected President, not once but twice. Even with a family name behind me it would have taken a great deal more of those things than I had.

I saw some interesting political bumper stickers today...

Eddie, you'll be excited to know that I saw "McSame" and "NObama."

A lawyer in my building has one that says "Powered by McCain."

And then I saw one that said "Everytime you vote McCain, a kitten dies."

LOL.

You make me feel old. I was graduating college that year.:yikes:

[RANT]
As for the name calling and all (McPain, McSame, McBush, Obrack, Buttcrack Osama, Barack Yomama, etc.),
I'm all for bashing each others candidate. Attack their record, the policies. Make up stuff that they did. I don't care. That's all politics as usual. The name calling just drives me batshit crazy for some reason. It's childish and beneath each and everyone of us who have progressed beyond the 4th grade. These men and women have risen to a point in their lives where we at least owe them the dignity of calling them by their name. I've listened to people say "Shrub" and "Chimp" for President Bush for 8 years. I heard people calling President Clinton names for 8 years previous to that. Have we, as a society, not matured to the point where we can make our displeasure known while at least giving people basic human dignity and respect? To me, calling someone a goofy name says that you have no other argument against them so you resorted to name calling.

I'm not holier than anybody. I'm guilty of it, too and I kick myself when I catch me doing it. Whoever wins will be my president. I may not agree with his policies. I may even join in protests calling for policy changes. I won't, however, make it a habbit of dehumanizing him by giving him a cartoonish name.

Feel free to disagree. I've got thick skin.

FWIW, I voted my conscience this morning, splitting my ticket all over the place amongst R's, D's and I's.
:hail: I dont particularly like McCain, but to make fun of him and call him names is distasteful.

And seeing all these Mcs is making me hungry for a McMuffin. D@mn it.

So I didn't see the thread, because I admit I am to lazy to read through all, but I did scan. I have to agree with Eddie though... calling eachothers candidates isn't going to change (most) people's minds. It may influence the slightest bit, but its not going to change anyone's minds. It sounds a bit I don't know, childish to me.
I do have to say though, that I'the American elections are much better than the German ones. The rallies and debates ect. are much more exciting that here.
I heard that Georgia's ballot was HUGE!??
