QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 27, 2008 -> 03:37 AM) Ya know, i got to thinking. My analogy might be a little "touchy" given what happened to joe Bidden, but let me try and put this in a little bit of a human perspective... Delegates are like a husband or wife. you give your time, money, and commitment to get one single person elected to be president of the united states. you are picked as a delegate because you are loyal. Then one day... the love of your life dies tragically in a car accident. It's sad. It's really really hard. You loved her. But, you have to move on. But how? In time, you might meet a new person and get married. but it's never the same as your first love. that is an awful analogy.

What a season for Gavin. So glad to blow them out tonight!

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 11:19 PM) You guys just totally overreacted to some joke Paris Hilton ad. But hey, I'm done giving the Dems advice. Go with the 'McCain = Hitler' thing for all I care. The last candidate who failed with a shallow attack strategy? Goracle 2000. He just looked like a jackass. The one ad, Messiah ad, Blaming Obama for the Oil prices ad, the william ayers ad... yeah, we went crazy over one (racially toned) ad.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 04:57 PM) I agree. She was a really effective campaign asset until then., and then the Jeremiah Wright thing broke out not too long after that so she started laying low. especially in Iowa and such I remember reading one of the democratic candidates was in a library to have a town hall the same time as Michelle Obama, and everyone went to see her.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:08 PM) The worst call I have seen him make was sending BA on Paulie's 9th inning single a few days ago...but look how that turned out honestly, it was a 3-2 pitch with 2 outs, how in the world wasn't BA rounding third way before then

this is not a response to you directly but that would've been funny if he guilt tripped america into electing Obama because of his cancer.

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:50 PM) I don't want to stop the cheerleading, and I know I may catch flak for this, but I was very disappointed with that speech. His speech was standard convention boilerplate. I wanted something that only Kennedy could deliver. You have an icon of the party speaking at (in his words) his last convention, everyone waiting to hear from him. And he said nothing memorable. This is not to question that the moment was emotional. But because of that, his speech had a unique potential to affect a fractured party and the campaign itself. It feels like a missed opportunity. I could see it that way, but, he didn't even know if he was going to be able to speak, and to speak with fire and urgency while having a brain tumor killing him at the time was pretty special. And his urging that he'd be there fighting when Obama became president.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 03:41 PM) It's been proven at least three times in the last 30 years that economic prosperity in this country happens more when the top income earners pay less in taxes, and it's no accident. Now, here comes the cynical bunch of you "libs" that say it can't possibly work (LAUGHER CURVE LOLERZ!!), but the results show otherwise - investments that these "ricj people" make come back around to actually help the lower wage earners by new jobs, etc. It's pretty hard to argue with actual results and not some theory of why it can't work. jesus man it was a joke that's why the smiley face was at the end of it. Anyways, I don't think any of us has ever said or ever will say it can't possibly work, more that for the last 8 years the tax cuts haven't brought in greater revenue so they've been unaccounted for. So unless McCain is going to detail anything he's going to cut or decide whether he believes in supply side or balancing the budget, I don't see how we're supposed to take him credibly.. Because his laughable, "well, we're going to win the war, so that's 30 billion right there" stuff isn't real.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 01:53 PM) Americans would rather pay less in taxes doesn't mean they don't want other Americans to pay more though

THANK YOU BELTRE

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) You get into a fight, by far he lands the majority of the clean shots. Bloodies your lip and puts a bunch of lumps on your face. You land one helluva shot and break his jaw. Who won the fight? The nigerian man who sweeps in to take the girls.

this affects my political vote.

if my wallet's not on me it's because I lost it. So that's why I take it everywhere. except running I guess but even then I know it's in my jeans.

I didn't like the walkmen live, but if you like their new album, shot I guess.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 08:20 PM) So, it's ok for ahb to be childish and stupid, but not the RNC? Got it. actually, yeah. You'd like to see a huge organization and presidential candidate show a little bit more maturity than an over the top poster on a baseball message board. Well, I'd like to see. I know I have high standards though.

Wonderful speech by Michele "uppity black (muslim?) woman who hates america" Obama.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 12:20 AM) I said nothing of the party website. I fail to see your point. let me re-create a day on soxtalk: ahb2008: I can't believe this RNC would do this this is childish and stupid responder : oh well you do it all the time how are you complaining blah blah Clearly the difference is one is talking about a political party or media organization or political player with huge audiences and scopes, and one writes on a message board.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 06:44 PM) Um, by most accounts, based on his LIMITED voting record, he's pretty damn far left. one account.

what did you write the speech on?

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 11:21 PM) 99.9 percent of Sox fans thought the Sox would be 1.5 games out of first right now. during the first half of that game i was certainly worried the wheels were falling off.

It's so much easier to love AJ than it is to hate him. Everyone should join in.

but I have to say, man it is soooo frustrating seeing our infield play so poorly. OC is just driving me crazy. We played so fundamentally poor today.

what a win. How huge!
