11/2    It's been fun.  Whatever happens tonight remember that we're all
        Americans.  We all have the country's best interest at heart.  We
        simply disagree on the path to follow.  No one is evil.  No one will
        bring down civilisation.  Someone will be elected and life will go on.
        Then we can do it all over again in 4 years.  You can thank the great
        wisdom of our nation's Founding Fathers for creating a system of checks
        and balances and short election cycles to minimise any damage from
        poor voter choices.  However it turns out we still have the best
        political system ever devised.  It isn't perfect but no one's ever
        done better.
        \_ Actually, the vast majority of the civilised world wants us to
           kick Dubya out.
           \_ Majority of uncivilized world too. -- ilyas
           \_ You forgot the fact that 1/2 of the US population is
              not civilized, that they are fanatics who
              believe that global warming is a myth, that gays and
              minorities are bad, that privatizing and trusting
              the corporation is much better than trusting the
              government, that if you are not with them then you are
              against them, that talks are for pussies (Reaganism--
              spend as much as necessary to defeat the evil), that if
              you don't make a vote that helps in their cause you will
              go to hell.
              \_ I would say a lot of Dubya-voters are afraid of what kind
                 of mess Kerry will get them into.  They are thinking:
                 At least with Dubya, there has not been a 9/11 repeat.
                 Kerry the liberal will just let in all the terrorists.
           \_ As China always say, we will not let foreign influence interfere
              with domestic politics.
              \_ You're joking right?  Go google for foreign lobbying groups
                 in the US, you'll find the Saudis, the English, etc all are
                 represented way more than you'll ever be in DC.
           \_ Heh, I always think it's funny when people site this as a
              point for Kerry.
              point for Kerry.                           \_ cite

        \_ Facts don't matter to 1/3 of the voters. Emotions do.
           I'm rooting for Obama but I know McCain is going to win. Oh well.
           \_ *sad face*
           \_ If the election was held today, I think Obama would just squeak

8/21    What's the big deal with arugula anyway?  When did this become a
        talking point?  I like arugula.
        \_ Please give more context, thanks.
           \_ Apparently the McCain campaign keeps bringing this up.
              \_ if this election is won or lost on whether McCain can convince
                 Americans that Obama is a weird arugula

6/30    That Wesley Clark, class act right there.

        \_ How was Clark questioning McCain's record?  In what way was this
           "swift boating?"
           \_ It wasn't.  The right is just filled with Righteous Anger with
              nowhere to focus it.

6/3     Since no one else seems to be willing to bite, here is my case
        for Obama:
        1) He was always against the War. This shows good judgement and
        political courage. I have some sympathy for those who got swept
        up in the tide of emotion and then apologized for their mistake,
        but better to have not made the mistake in the first place.
