QUOTE (Soxy @ Sep 3, 2008 -> 02:24 PM) My sister has taught in Wheaton (where she is currently) and also at Hope Wall (in Aurora), and she fully supports the kids that are boycotting. After hearing her stories about the disparities just within those two suburban districts, I understand the boycott too. But I have no idea how to fix the problem. What school does your sis teach at in Wheaton?

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 11:40 PM) I'm a little too tired to think clearly but that looks like you're criticizing me, I do realize I went off track from your original post. I wasn't tryin to criticize you...hahaha....if everyone stayed on the lines of the original post or title this place would be no fun....

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 06:00 AM) I also feel hesitant to declare that I am belonging to one party in particular. Times change, leaders change, the issues at hand change, I will change. I will always vote for who represents most closely the best for me and my country. Yea, I meant to write something about that. I really just mean express your views on the world. I really like how this is shaping up, it gives a reasonable explanation at why someone disagrees with what you say in another thread.

2 MORE GAMES!!!

Ok, so I got to thinking...Why am I a Democrat? Why do I feel that this is the better party? Well I grew up in a middle class household with parents that did not goto college. My dad works in a factory and my mom works in an office at COD. I've always seen how they struggle to put me and my brother through life. Times have been good and times have been bad for their own economy. This is just a short back story, but basically the reason why I call myself a democrat, is that from the 24 years I have been on this earth the Democrats to me have shown that they are the people's party. They are the ones who don't care what you look like they treat us all equally. They work for the people to try to make theirs lives just a little bit easier everyday. They are the ones that are open to negotiation and don't respond too quickly before a judgment can be made. And most of all Democrats are the ones I can most relate myself too. They seem to be the ones that have my same outlook on life. This is not a thread to ATTACK PEOPLE, or QUESTION WHAT THEY SAY. It is merely a spot to post your own thoughts as to why you are what you are. There really should be no quoting of anyone. *Mods, if you think this is going to get too crazy delete it now. I just thought it would be very interesting to hear the reasons why people vote the way they do.

Since the thread was closed I will post this here. The best thing about McCain's pick is that it was so surprising to everybody and there is so much to talk about the lady governor from Alaska that every single news station is spending all its time on this rather than Obama's speech last night. It was a great move to announce this today. Some of the TVs at the gym were on and I noticed that MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News all were either playing the speech from today or talking about the pick. Even Oberman was talking about it, but he did try to put in as much about Obama's speech as he could.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 11:46 PM) you're not an Obama fanboy? you're not a McCain fanboy??? please you were the first to point out the "snarkyness" of this thread, but yet you make it 10 times worse... its politics, people have biases...b/c we don't agree with you doesn't mean we are attacking you

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 10:16 PM) The 'no experience' cries from Obama voters is suspect at best She has 2 years as governor and great approval ratings. not a lot of experience, but lets look at Obama... Obama pushed 'no vote' button in springfield for a while and has been in the Senate for a minute or so. Deal with it, your guy has no experience and he is the top of the ticket. I'd like to requote Balta on this one I'm not buying this whole experience bulls*** for eithier side...yea American's buy into it but its raelly not that big of a deal unless we have the fry cook from McDonalds running.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 10:01 PM) Counting on a guy that will be 72, 73, 74, 75 and 76 through his first term to not have any serious medical problems, including a stroke, or anything related to his cancer, or years of POWing while tackling the most stressful job in the world.....that's a bit of a gamble too. but he is a POW...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 10:45 PM) Link. I wonder if that counts online streaming people also, I was one of those. I did a report on tv ratings/future stuff etc...but anyway nielson does not include anything that has to do with the internet.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 10:26 PM) If "Executive experience" is the goal here, then our 2 Presidential candiates have exactly the same amount of it. thank you for addressing that

So do you think it is safe to take off the red line in my signature?

It was fun while it lasted but thank god everyone got out of here reletively early this morning....My city is back to pretty much normal. I can go out and have some drinks again, the police force is also back to normal. No more parades of riot police with 5 foot long cattle prods. Even though some of the officials are dissapointed. They thought a lot of people would stick around for the weekend and enjoy the mountains and other activities like the "Taste of Colorado" that is going on right now. Which I just walked past it but it looks like a podunk county fair compared to the real "Taste."

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) Massachusetts, home of the Kennedy's was never going to go Republican in a national election anyway. As of the 2006 election, the Republican party holds less than 13% of the seats in both legislative houses of the General Court: in the House, the balance is 141 Democratic to 19 Republican, and in the Senate, 35–5. Although Republicans held the governor's office continuously from 1991 to 2007, they have mostly been among the most liberal Republican leaders in the nation, especially William Weld (the first of four recent Republican governors). Alrighty then...thank you very much

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 07:08 PM) It's not like they liked each other to begin with. Well obviously but still...probably not good for McCain and the voters in Romney's state

I love Piano Man

If that news quote is true that is pretty rough for McCain...Romney has got to be really pissed

I said this in another thread but... watch "Jesus Camp" itwill scare the s*** out of you....yes people actually are that crazy

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 06:33 PM) I can't wait until the 1st debate. I know...McCain is going to rip Barack apart b/c Obama can only read from a teleprompter...

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 06:50 PM) It will help for with the far right. She is also for the teaching of creationism in public schools. The creationism thing should help her with the crazy evangelicals....if you want to know how f***ed up they are watch the documentary "Jesus Camp" - it scared the hell out of me, they worship pictures of George W and mold the minds of young children like the Hitler youth...
