If I'm left between someone I know will be terrible on the issues that I find important, someone who will claim to care about them but demonstrably is either lying or weak and ineffective or LaRouche, I will refrain from voting for President in 2012. In 2008, the Green Party and the Libertarian Party both fielded candidates on the Illinois ballot for President as well as several independents. Obama has been "less than good" so far. The Democrats, what with their SuperMajority for two years, have been terrible. They've been Republican-lite at best. I see no reason why I should vote in support of that.

Not voting?

I won't vote for a terrible candidate who's done a crap job and stabbed his more liberal constituency in the back repeatedly for over 2 years by caving in to Republicans over and over and over. That Obama is inevitably better than whatever terrible candidate the Republicans will offer is not an argument in favor of perpetuating our terrible, doomed system.

99% sure I won't be voting for Obama.

Why is this a clearly important story with international interest?

LOL Rondo, get outta my poll

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) I've been listening to NPR a lot lately and its so funny, the way conservatives talk about it and what it actually is. NPR is about as neutral as you can get. Soooo much better than cable news because they don't talk about bulls***. If something isn't blatantly pro-conservative, then it must be super-liberal. They're consistently one of the best mainstream media sources out there, and the whole conservative campaign against them is a joke. But hey, O'Douche showed a couple of very heavily edited tapes showing a fundraiser maybe making some disparaging remarks about tea party people, so shut the damn thing down!

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) While I agree with you, that didn't really contribute now, did it? What else needs to be said to a claim that someone "proved" Paul is better than Rose because of "advanced statistics?"

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 03:17 PM) Apparently you do. This discussion has ben about who's the best PG in the league. Myself, J4L and few others have proven through stats and advanced stats that Chris Paul is the better player. The rest of Soxtalk, through Rose colored glasses are using the weakass excuse "I'll trust my eyes". You go trust those eyes. I'm pretty sure you guys haven't watched a Hornets game in years. And I better not hear another "Rose shoots because he has to." That's what you guys wanted when you said "Get rid of Gordon, Rose needs to be able to shoot at all times. Gordon is a chucker." Like most of you guys know what a chucker is. lol

I think transportation costs are negligible compared to labor cost differences between the two countries.

QUOTE (Tex @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 05:25 AM) I wondered how much they really could change the game itself. It's football. What could you do make the field 400 yards long and add warp speed? Throw in speed bumps? I guess I become a republican when companies get sued for being successful. Good point, Super TecmoBowl was the same game as Madden '11 except roster updates, nothing they can do because football is football right?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 10:23 AM) I don't understand why you are so obsessed with posters from other message boards. It's so simple to avoid what they are typing, and way more simple to not give a s***. Schadenfreude. It's funny.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 22, 2011 -> 10:35 AM) clearly the wsj has not seen atlas shrugged. lol

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 02:51 PM) Bernsie got pwned. Yeah, he absolutely refused to admit he was wrong about telling Terry what he did or didn't eat 15 years ago, even after they called a Waffle House in Georgia.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 02:46 PM) 1. B&B (I enjoy the humor and if you can get past the name-calling, they actually know what they are talking about usually) 2. Waddle & Silvy (Work well together and entertaining) 3. Mully & Hanley (Occasionally funny, somewhat boring, but very informative nontheless) 4. Carmen, Jurko, & Harry (Try too hard to be funny sometimes, not a good mix) 5. Danny Mac Show (I've gotten sick of Mac, just gotten too big and too full of himself IMO. Always about what he's doing or who he knows) This, pretty much. Plus B&B had a 15 minute argument over pancakes being served at Waffle House the other week. That was pretty epic.

lol love the avatar anyway more evidence we need to nationalize all multinational companies immediately! Not really but I'm not sure how developed countries handle globalization and the free movement of wealth like we have now without reducing wages and living standards to third-world levels for all but a handful of plutocrats.

QUOTE (T R U @ Apr 21, 2011 -> 03:37 AM) No s*** Why the hell don't they play more frequently The NBA playoffs stretch on for 3 months. It's ridiculous.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 20, 2011 -> 11:26 PM) Nobody ever does that, seriously. So many incorrect things are said about the pessimistic posters. It's like watching Fox News talk about Democrats.

I hate this country.
