I must've misunderstood your comment, then.

In reply to this comment by deedub81:
For the record, I never advocated sending troops into North Korea and Sudan.


In reply to this comment by NetRunner:
I do know about it, but you were talking about sending troops onto new battlegrounds in N. Korea and Sudan.

I think before we start more wars, we need to do more diplomacy and foreign aid.

The answer to both North Korea and Darfur/Sudan is China. We have a relationship with them now, let's twist their arm a little.

If we invaded Sudan, what's the mission? If we invated N. Korea, what's the mission?

Toppling the existing regime and replacing it with one of our own design?

No thanks. Been there, done that.

Just saw this comment from back in the day.

Do you not know about all the help we have provided around the world that has nothing to do with violence?

^ Can't the US do something around the world that doesn't involve the military?

It's funny... he's playing the whole thing very nicely, that had to have been before the clip of him in SNL, because, well, he's talking about as if he hadn't seen Andy yet.

It's all just a cross promotion in joke.

And it's quite funny now that he's in on it, because the original sketch was terrible, but maybe that was the whole idea.

I saw this on the thread, Deedub, and I answered you there.

You don't see the similarities between your own comments and this woman's remarks.

It's cool you can vote for it. I don't think it's a dupe. It's been sitting in my personal queue for about 4 months.

Yet another thing that pisses me off about Obama and the entire democratic party: Apparently they are extremely concerned about equality and fairness, but you get people like Nick (below) who say things like, "In Obama he wants to raise the tax to the top 10% and lower the tax for the rest. Mc Dogle here wants to raise the tax for everyone. So you want less tax for you then vote Obama." All for one and one for all? I don't think so. It sounds more like, "All for me and screw you, top 10%."

Why did you down-vote this? Was there something in it that was bias in any way?

Didn't even bother to watch it. In your mind, this proves that McCain is better than Obama so what's the fucking point?

You honest to god can not see what the Republicans have done to this country.

Well the problem is that lowering taxes doesn't solve the problem. I mean we have gotten the USA into a huge dept and it is not going to pay it self. So lowering taxes for everyone just means raising the taxes later on for everyone as well. Just because you don't want to look at the problem does not mean that it doesn't exits. Inaction is not a solution to a problem, and doing what is popular is not a solution neither. We either going to start solving the problem now or pay more later. That is my point.

In reply to this comment by deedub81:
McCain wants to raise the tax for everyone? I don't know where you're getting your information but it's wrong. McCain will lower taxes for everyone.

Obama will lower for some, raise for others.



In reply to this comment by nickreal03:
>> Obama would do an even worse job. Part of the reason the American economy

The taxation is the the problem. The problem is who you are taxing... In Obama he wants to raise the tax to the top 10% and lower the tax for the rest. Mc Dogle here wants to raise the tax for everyone. So you want less tax for you then vote Obama.

I see... well as you can tell I hadn't picked up on that... but then I also didn't claim he was... It was more that by comparision you certainly don't have to be for their to appear to be a considerable gap...

In reply to this comment by deedub81:
Hmm. My point wasn't to prove that he is fallible. My point was that he's not the smartest man on Earth. Uh, uh, uh, it was meant to be a little tongue in cheek.


Can't you see how an IQ test would hurt?




In reply to this comment by Januari:
First... you'll have to forgive me i'm new to this... Not really sure how this works...

Ok on that note... congrats on finding two clips where Obama makes an error?...

If that was your point?... you'll have to show me where i suggested that he was infallible...


I'm not sure if it's what your looking for but i have no intention of digging up foolish McCain videos... YOU were the one who stated they do a fine job of looking silly... and I am agreeing... whole heartily...


Your right an IQ test is certainly not any kind of indicator of leadership... but frankly how could it hurt?
