QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 08:30 AM) No, and that makes my point even bigger. If people understood as a whole the irrepairable damage RSO can do with a supermajority congress, they wouldn't gravitate toward him. That's the main reason why this man isn't going to delve into details on anything (so he has plans on his website, whooo, most people aren't going to sit there and read it). Charisma alone is probably going to win him the election. I think you're being a little melodramatic about how out country will turn out with an Obama presidency. I was saying the same things in '04 about a 2nd Bush term. Granted things may happen that you may not be a fan of, not unlike what liberals just went through with GWB, but the world will continue to spin on its axis and the sun will still rise from the east.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 09:21 AM) No they won't. The "feel good" exposure is on RSO, not McCain. So what exactly is surprising here to you? Obama has been conducting a much more positive campaign than we've seen in a generation and counting on a true grass roots movement. And then add his charisma. Compare that to McCain who seems like an ordinary, run-of-the-mill guy running for president that you'd have difficulty differentiating from someone like Bob Dole or Walter Mondale (Personality-wise at least). Is there any surprise that a lot of people with little interest in politics are gravitating towards Obama?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 08:18 AM) Anti war is an "ok" reason to vote for him. Hello, McGovern. If people realized just how far left he really is, I don't think he'd have near the support he does now. I stand by my statement that there's a MAJORITY of voters that are simply enamoured by the man and doesn't have a clue what he stands for. Most people in this forum are versed enough in the issues (hell just read the board here, that keeps most people up on what's happening) to get it. I just don't think the majority of Americans are, period. They vote with emotion, not rationale, and "RSO" (Rock Star Obama) is much more of an emotional character then McCain. The whole point is that a large number of people that will vote for McCain know equally as little about him. So what else is new? This happens all the time.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 02:47 PM) Did you think his shoulder injury would cause him to never recover or something? Basically. Figure he'd be one of those guys that keeps missing time here and there because of injuries and doesn't get a good rhythm going. Thought he'd be our Rocco Baldelli.

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 03:41 PM) Until IF Linebrink comes back i think its best if....

I thought Quentin would be #7 type hitter hitting in the .250s with marginal power. I also thought our pitching would be in the bottom third in the league.

Maybe we can try to get Nolan Ryan to unretire. *sigh*

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 03:26 PM) I would like to see the Sox score about 30 runs this series and give up about 10. They're called points, not runs. At least that's what Hawk and DJ have been saying lately.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 02:19 PM) who gives a s*** if George Washington was gay? The GOP because gays will ruin America.

Freddie definitely brought out a wide range of emotions out of me. One day he would look unhittable and the next game he'd be in a jam every other inning.

Looks like Crede is getting a blow job in the photo.

God I hope Jose looks decent now that he's back.

I'm no Batman aficionado or anything but any chance the accountant at Wayne Enterprises winds up becoming Robin? He already knows Bruce is Batman and Bruce saved his life. Just a thought I had as I decomposed the movie.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 09:19 AM) OOPS! I didnt even think of looking there for a Bernie Mac thread. lol I personally think it belongs here.

Thread started in Palehose. Someone please merge the 2.

That just made me very sad. Prayers to his family.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 10:59 PM) IMAX? But of course.

Finally saw it tonight at Navy Pier. What a fantastic movie. Easily one of my top 3 action flicks of all time.

Seems like KC looks good against us and no one else.

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Aug 8, 2008 -> 09:16 PM) i liked this from FelixMantilla: Some dude said this:

Nicely stated Rex.

Edwards on the Lewinsky scandal:

Could you imagine what their kid would look like?

Is there a more unattractive person than...

This one's for my fellow liberals. A highlight real of cringe-inducing moments by McCain. Enjoy.
