FRPLG 07-16-2007, 02:23 AM This is in the Northwest which is a little bit different from the rest of the country
I am pretty dubious of the rest of this country in this regard. I tend to wonder if even Hillary has a chance in a general election. I know a lot of people I would be suprised if they voted for either simply because I don't see them voting for a woman or a black. Sad but true. I hope I am wrong, even though I wouldn't voted for either, but I strongly suspect that their race and gender are going to be bigger factors than everyone wants to believe.
saden1 07-16-2007, 02:25 AM Good points. I don't think Gore should run, I just have this feeling he and Newt will enter the fray this fall. Could be wrong though.
I think I should accept that McCain is done now so I must look elsewhere. Who would be the VP on your Obama ticket?
I think I would make a great VP therefore I should be on his ticket. No seriously, I don't know but I would get excited about Harold Ford Jr. Anyone ethical and with great character would do though.
Crazyhorse1 07-16-2007, 02:26 AM You didn't show you were right about it. You posted a link from one side, just like I (in fairness) posted a link from the other.
I don't blame him for blocking, or wanting to block, you. If I am to be perfectly candid. I think you offer nothing of value to this site. Clearly, all you want to do is constantly push your anti-Bush agenda (so much so that I think you even embarrass those who are philosophically on your side), and berate and belittle those who have the audacity to disagree with Mr. College Professor with a Master's Degree. Hopefully, as the season rolls around you will remember why this site primarily exists; to discuss the Washington Redskins. But I find it curious that you've started nearly 40 threads on multiple Redskins message boards and only two had anything to do with the Redskins.
Admittedly, I am a Republican (Moderate Republican I suppose) but I can respect healthy debate with the Mattyk's, SGG's, Dmek's, and 12thMan's of the world. Sure it can get heated and I get annoyed by what they say sometimes. A lot of times in Dmek's case (no offense D) but at least I know they want to discuss, not preach. I can't say the same for you. But this has nothing to do with your views. It's the arrogance behind the views. You're like a liberal Ann Coulter
I don't know you personally obviously, nor do I care to quite frankly. Of course, many others here feel the same I'm sure. Just as I'm sure there are those who feel that way about me. I'd like to think though that if I stopped posting on this site, something of value would be lost. I understand that I do post a lot of nonsensical stuff (and especially in the off-season) but I think that's balanced by compelling posts and threads (not to toot my own horn too loudly). Again, I can't say the same for you.
What's worse is that, as a professor you're seemingly influencing the minds of tomorrow. I can only hope that those students are smart enough to challenge you (whether to confirm you're right or prove that you're wrong), and that you're enough of a professor to allow them to challenge you.
I have higher degrees than Master's Degrees and teach graduate students. Most of them already have Master's Degrees and are too smart for me to challenge most of the time. I'm 63 and have written a number of books and have over a thousand other publications, all of which I have had to research. I basically guide others in researching and writing their own books and take matters of the mind very seriously.
I'm not writing about football now because there's nothing new going on in football, Right now, we have the untimely deaths of my ex-students and could-be students and others in Iraq, for all the wrong reasons. My method of trying to combat this is to challenge ignorance, propaganda, assumptions, phony data, and expose the lies and myths that currently infect our culture and cause death, as well as endanger our Bill of Rights and Constitution.
This particular thead has been littered by data that is not only utterly garbage but dangerous. It's my duty to challenge it.

If Hilary or Obama is nominated I would think the blue states would be behind the ticket but that's generally give. The states that really matter are Midwest states like Ohio and Michigan. That's really the rest of the country. The election comes down to those state's level or racism/sexism i guess.

Wow, you're even more arrogant than I thought. "I have higher degrees than Master's Degrees" Goodness...thank you for blessing us with your presence here.
Graduate students at community colleges?

Practically speaking though, could a Obama-Ford ticket realistically win though? Don't you think a relative novice like Obama would need someone like maybe a Joe Biden to balance out his ticket and cover a wider base?

That way of thinking did us a lot of good with Chaney as the VP. Then you have Kerry coming out now saying he should have listened to his gut feeling and shouldn't have picked Edwards.
My ideal ticket is not a realistic ticket for reasons quite obvious...lol. It would be a mistake for Biden to leave the senate for a VP position, that would be a demotion for him. I don't like the idea of picking a senator as a VP. He should probably pick a governor. Who? I don't know yet.

Yeah I hear what you're saying. What about Mark Warner?
Redskins8588 07-16-2007, 03:07 AM I think that we need to put Crazyhorse and SBF in a cage match...
jsarno 07-16-2007, 03:08 AM They don't have to do jack because Republicans have molested the nation for the past 12 years. You would like to see people get on board with the democrats but the sad truth people are going to vote against Republicans more so than vote for Democrats.
Unfortunately, you're likely right. However, Bush was not very well liked going into 2004 and he won cause the dems threw up one HORRIBLE candidate in Kerry. If they do it again, I think the republicans will stay in power. (ps- I am a registered independant in case you missed it, I am only concerned for the well being of our country, and I am huge advocate for alternative fuels and animal rights.)
By the way...12 years? How so? It's been 7 under Bush, and the previous 8 years before that was Clinton.
I actually did some volunteer work for Obama last weekend and was quite surprised how white people in general felt about him. They really liked him and I was taken aback quite a bit. It was an amazing experience really to hear what they thought about him. This is in the Northwest which is a little bit different from the rest of the country...we'll see how he does against Hilary.
That's because Obama is about as black as Brunell. What percentage african american is he anyway?
Sad thing is he won't get the proper recognition cause you know that KKK type people that live in the deep south could care less what he has to say.
I'm curious, in what way has Richardson hurt Arizona?
That really is a loaded question, and trust me when I say I am exhausted with dealing with him. But I will say these two things, 1- he bankrupted the state within the first 4 months he was in office, and 2- he ceased funding to the senior citizens who depended on it to give more funding to single mothers having more babies. I'm getting annoyed just talking about him.
