[Rant] How the fu*k can the election be where it is and how can there be any "undecided"??
First I'm Canadian
Second Ok yes I know what the answer is I'm not actually looking for a real reply but **** these last 8 years have been SURREAL!!!
Again how the **** can the US electorate still be fairly evenly balanced on this issue?? I mean lets just forget Obama entirely for the sake of this argument. Behind door number 1 we have Obama. Behind door number 2 we have a man representing the party that destroyed the world! WAKE UP PEOPLE we aren't talking about a presidency that raised taxes a bit too much here, spent a bit too much here. We are talking about a presidency that broke just about every ****ing rule in the book of democracy. Lied about getting into a war that killed thousands of innocents, check. Signed away fundamental inalienable freedoms (the very freedoms they said the terrorists hate us for), check. Set the country back socially decades, check. Collaborated with big oil companies and other special interest groups to help the rich and **** over the poor, check. Used 9/11 to emotionally manipulate the US and the world to do their bidding, check. Sat idly by while one of their own cities was raised to the group by a natural disaster, while at the same time giving orders to raise someone else's cities to the ground in another country, check. Accelerated the destruction of the environment exactly at a time when world consensus was coming to a head to do something significant for it, check. Through lack of action and a culture of ultimate greed brought world financial markets crashing in a scene we haven't seen since the great depression, check. Saddled this generation, the next, and god knows maybe the next after that with enough debt and global political unrest for 10 presidencies to deal with, check.
Given this shit list it's hard to conceive that anyone would be left in that camp, instead we have them neck and neck! The dems should be able to elect just about any Joe Blow they could think of choosing for a candidate. Instead we have the opposite, the repugs have Joe Blow (and miss Joe Blow) and the dems have one of the most eloquent orators, leaders, in a generation or more. And STILL it's neck and neck (or close too).

2. Well a lot of the undecideds are code for racists.
These are people who cannot fathom having an African American as their President. Hopefully, they will be equally disgusted with John McCain and just stay home on election day.

3. It takes a while for the electoral college...
...to catch up with changes in the polls.
The electoral vote 'score' is tabulated by recent state polls. Sometimes
state polls don't come out as frequently as national polls, and it takes
longer for those numbers to move.
Also--yes, the national polls are close, but not everyone is politically nutty
like us. As difficult as it is to believe, most people are not paying that
much attention to politics. They may hear the top soundbytes, but they're not
swimming in the deep end--like we are. Many people just aren't that interested.
As the election draws near, people will become more engaged. The number of
'undecideds' will steadily decrease.
...and of course--Obama will win!

5. Just to list a few, in no particular order...
--Corporate Media, with FUX leading the pack. They pit us against each other--"tune in for BOTH sides!"
--Manipulation of the masses via 9/11.
--The rise of mega-churches.
--No true opposition party.
--$4.00/gallon gasoline and Americans not willing to give up behemoth vehicles (or "lifestyle")
--The dumbing down of the masses (I channel-jockeyed cable TV this evening and thought my head would explode).
--God, guns, gays and abortion.
--Racism.
Sigh.

10. I cannot get my mind around the concept of being unable to choose between
the future and the past, hope and despair, promise and disappointment, honesty and hypocrisy, intelligence and stupidity, life and death. I guess I will never understand the kind of mentality that cannot distinguish between these choices and know which one is better.

Which means you have nothing to say about it, you canuck cocksucker..... :loser: :loser:

I can't wait until Wednesday, November 5th. I don't think the Little Goons will live.

**** you, cowardly canuck from a meaningless POS country. You would all be speaking Russian if it wasn't for the USA.
The only words you are entitled to say to or about the USA is (daily): "Thank you very much USA for what freedoms I do have and have not taken way from myself."
That's it, nothing more. And thanks for continuing to be the USA'S tree storage facility.

With very, very few exceptions I don't give a flying **** what a Canadian says.

Hey Canuck :foff: :drama: !

Behind door number 2 we have a man representing the party that destroyed the world!
Damn....how'd I miss that? The whole world was destroyed? Must have happened while I was asleep. They sure fixed it back up quick, looks just the same out there to me!

I noticed this morning some of the leaves on my trees are turning a yellow color. This never happened on Clinton's watch.

The leftist have screwed up Canada and now they want to screw up the USA. I certainly hope all the left leaning US hippo-critters move to Canada. I beleieve there's still room for more decline in Canada.

You filthy traitor. No matter how screwed up this country is or who's fault it is, it's none of Canada's ****ing business and you should be telling that asshat that, not agreeing with him. :bird:

Don't these yahoos understand that most people are pretty happy with their lives? Happy people tend to be apathetic to the whole politcal process. They don't trust anyone that runs for office, and would rather spend their time doing something more meaningful (like working, raising families, etc).
