If Redskins win, GWB wins! Yikes!
 

Saw on CNN this morning that since 1933 the incumbent wins the White House when the Skins win the week of the election.

I almost want to go buy a Packers jersey now! :silly:

Hot Topic! Hot Topic!!! Somebody Push the [url="http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=nfl&id=1910795"]Red Button!!![/url]

I love Smoot!

I don't agree with who he supports but at least he has an honest and rational reason for voting a certain way and he is standing up for what he believes. This guy is absolutly my favorite Skin right now. I wish we had more athletes who would be so straight foward and honest.

If Redskins win, GWB wins! Yikes! screw that!! I allways route for the skins to win even if it helps the election it's just a mith!!

!!!!! GO SKINS !!!!!

I want to meet the people who go around finding these odd statistics and tell other people.

Streaks are meant to be broken, after all one of the mother of all streaks just ended with the Red Sox winning the series, so there's hope!

Go 'Skins and Go Kerry!

Amen!

Knowing how a lot things have gotten heated on the Warpath recently, Do we REALLY want to start this discussion???

Hopefully the streak will continue with a Redskins win.

This topic was started a week ago in the Parking Lot.

They say things happen in threes. These two streaks( Sox and Skins) plus another could be broken this year.

Love the Skins, but can't take the chance of another 4 years of Dumbya.

If the streak is to be believed, I have to say that I'd be willing to shoulder another loss in order to avoid another 4 years!

This statistic has been in discussion on the ExtremeSkins board for a while, and really it just leads to nastiness.

I root for the Skins regardless. I will also be voting for Bush, but I respect those that are voting for Kerry. I dont think we should start a political debate here because at the root of it, politics is a very divisive force, and nothing good will come of it.

Bush or Kerry- Exercise your right to vote, regardless.

amen BrunellFan, I too will be voting for President Bush!!

Well said BrunellFan

I don't mix my politics and my sports. I'm voting the way I always have, and I'm routing for the Redskins the way I have for the past 20 years.

Its time for this curse to end as well....I'd like to see the skins win, but with Taylor out as well (see below), it is starting to look rather bleak. Wishful thinking, but maybe this'll be the time the skins offense bails us out. On the political front, it's looking good for the Dems.
From the post:
Taylor did not report to Redskins practice today. Coach Joe Gibbs said this afternoon that Taylor is not expected to play on Sunday.

The Redskins, who hadn't been able to contact Taylor this morning, said they will eventually put out a release detailing a response.

"It sounds like last night we had a problem with Sean," Gibbs said. "We're right now still trying to get all the information. To me, it sounds like it's serious and so when we get all the information and we'll kind of talk over the game plan here of what we should do. And then we'll put out a release and tell everybody what we're going to do. That's kind of where we are."

wow...i really hope that was all a joke

ALL, no, some, yes

i guess some peeps never learn

Wow, that's funny. My whole family, which has a long tradition of Military service, all changed over to vote for Kerry because of Bush sending a couple family members to war, and taking away some of the funding from the GI Bill.

cool

I hate to be the one to break it to you and your family but in case you haven't watched the debates...Kerry voted to invade Iraq then voted to not fund the troops that were deployed...If your family is switching to vote for Kerry because you have family members that were sent to war, then why did your family join the military? Soldiers train for one thing..war...
My family is actually in the exact opposite situation, my father whom has never voted republican in his life is voting for Bush because he refers to the alternative as a used car salesman..he is gonna tell you anything you want to get your vote..

BUUUUUUUUUUUsh all the way baby!

Daesal you really have to get your fact's straight on the military, and who fund's and support's them, according to poles 75% of the military is voting for Bush! That's why PA gov. fast eddie rendell is trying to disinfranchise their vote in PA because over sea's ballot's may arrive late when a simple extension of 2 week's would easily allow our military a say in who their commander and chief is, oh yea PA did send some of the ballot's out late, of coarse he was all for an extension a couple of months ago when he thought it was going to help keep Nader off the Ballot, which is one reason why some of the ballot's were late getting out to begin with, not counting military votes is the ultimate slap in the face to our troop's! COMPLETE GARBAGE!

By the way take a good look at who has voted consistantly against funding our military and cutting it, I will give you a hint it ain't the right. I could go on and on but I really don't think it would do any good.

I am not superstitious but if thing's hold true put your money on the skin's, if thing's don't hold true hide your money cause Kerry will be on his way to take it.

Its a strange stat that goes back to 1933, but this is also the year the Sox came back from 0-3 and won their 1st WS since 1918. The Pistons beat the "all-star" Lakers team and did it by winning all 3 home games in the 2-3-2 format. No team had ever won all 3 home games since the format was introduced in the 80s.

This is the year of throwing stats, records, and polls out the window.

kerry has voted against every single military spending bill since he first joined congress... he's also planning on enlarging the military (which should be done, contractors are too expensive), but that was something he just started saying recently and hasn't gone along with his record or military poverty...

not trying to start flames or anything, but this is a pretty important point to consider when you say kerry is pro military...

vote for your guy, root for the skins and either hope the record stays or goes...
no need to play with your allegiances...

he voted for the war because the bush administration swore that there were WMD's when they had no idea, they lied...its not like he changed his mind for no reason

Lord have mercy...I want to comment but I'm resisting temptation.

if by reason you mean opinion polls, then you're absolutely right ;)

<ducks>

[QUOTE=saden1]Lord have mercy...I want to comment but I'm resisting temptation.[/QUOTE]

I know the feeling

hey if someone makes a comment like that, then i am going to respond...

Yep in my football pool I picked the Packers, hoping to reverse that curse! Go Kerry!!!!

Absofreekinlutly!

Of coarse Kerry also stated that Iraq had WMD's, and so long as Sadam was in power he was a threat to the US, but that was before he felt he had to take an adversarial role in an attempt to become president, hey screw the troop's, screw the safety of America, and to hell with truth and honesty, John Kerry want's to be president, everything else is secondary.

Dearest Scott,

It is a fact that the Bush administration wanted to go to war with Iraq from the very beginning of their term. They beefed up all of the BS before the war and had everybody quaking in their boots, just scared of what a threat Sadam was, and how he was "tied to al-quada"(he wasn't). Kerry and others voted to give W the AUTH to go to war as a means to threaten Iraq into complying with the weapons inspectors. NOT for a Pre-emptive strike against a sovereign nation. We turned our back on the UN and about 98 % of the rest of the world.

So, bush sent our troops to die for oil basically. Now we the taxpayers of America shoulder the burden of paying for the unjust war, and this war has been one big recruiting opportunity for terrorists around the world.

Bush and Kerry are both nothing more than fat-cat politicians. They all speak out of both sides of their mouths to get what they want. More power. It's truly sad that these are the best two guys the system could come up with to run for our friggin' PRESIDENT. Sad sad sad

It's like dave wanstedt deciding between jay fiedler or a j feely.

Suggestions impugning Kerry's record on military voting seriously misconstrue the facts. In fact, Kerry (as an actual combat veteran) has been a sedulous supporter of the military, voting repeatedly to increase combat pay. The argument that his voting against the 87 billion dollar aid package evinces his ambivalence towards the military distorts the issue; Kerry was voting against the shameful way that the Bush administration conducted the post-war reconstruction plan, doling out no-bid contracts to friends and cronies (see the ongoing investigation into Halliburton's 7 billion dollar reconstruction contract if you are unfamiliar), not the troops themselves.

Bush's record, on the other hand, is more troubling. He willingilly sent troops into combat without adequate body armor, and banned the media from showing their coffins as they returned home. When democrats in the House introduced a provision to provide the troops with adequate equipment through rescinding Bush's tax cut to the top 1 percent, our president led the charge to defang it.

He voted to cut combat pay from 225 dollars to 150, reduce the family seperation allowance from 250 to 100, and he vetoed a measure to increase the reward for those killed in combat from 6,000 to 12,000 dollars.

It is a known fact that the US is well behind Europe in military pay, and Bush has done nothing to change this. In fact, the number of soldiers on food stamps has doubled under Bush's watch from Clinton levels.

While both candidates are for defense, the difference is that Kerry is for soldiers and that Bush is for contractors. And let's not even get into his shifting, mendacious justifications for war, which is a whole 'nother topic.

Oh yeah, let's go skins

Word! djnemo65, you're right on. This admin is SO wrong on SO many levels

DGN and D15, Boy's you couldn't be more convoluted in your thinking, but that is why the left lies as they do they never underestimate the ignorance of there constituency, here's just a little tidbit of the hypocrisy of the left and rest assured there's plenty more!
