Re: I encourage anyone planning on voting in the US elections this November to watch no conventions. Praziquantel Send a noteboard - 27/08/2012 11:43:07 PM
Of course, many of us have already made up our minds, but we should always strive to be informed about the issues and the perspectives.

Well in that case, it's probably better not to tune in in the first place. These conventions are mostly fluff and rah-rah with little to put forward about issues that matter.
That was pretty much all I wanted to say on that subject for now.

Thanks for keeping it brief :)

You're not properly using a "Re:" tag if you are changing the subject line. *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 12:42:13 AM 276 Views
It is convenient though, and concise. Joel - 28/08/2012 02:10:52 AM 745 Views
I had to do it to fit the 100 character limit *NM* Praziquantel - 28/08/2012 03:58:32 AM 333 Views
Unless you're Roh. *NM* Legolas - 28/08/2012 09:56:01 PM 315 Views
I'm not sure why the rules of the English language wouldn't apply to her in particular. *NM* Tom - 29/08/2012 02:05:39 AM 319 Views
Because I miss her posts, I guess. Legolas - 29/08/2012 09:20:23 PM 594 Views
One can't say "regarding" unless one has referred to something first. Tom - 30/08/2012 09:00:16 PM 558 Views
God already decided the GOP convention should be cut short. No arguing with deities. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 12:03:30 AM 369 Views
Would you still say that if Obama were struck by lightning? *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 12:42:40 AM 242 Views
Assuming he survived, I'd probably make the same joke, yes. TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 01:28:44 AM 598 Views
No, no, they "prayed away the spray." Joel - 28/08/2012 02:09:02 AM 603 Views
I may need to see if there is an online stream. Joel - 28/08/2012 12:34:07 AM 692 Views
The party platform is generally stated, though. Tom - 28/08/2012 12:44:04 AM 578 Views
Yes, but past conventions also decided it; now it is just reiterated and marketed (or downplayed.) Joel - 28/08/2012 01:54:08 AM 692 Views
I sometimes watch bits and pieces Larry - 28/08/2012 01:03:04 AM 640 Views
Ive decided to vote for Satan. Aisha - 28/08/2012 02:42:09 AM 655 Views
Glad to see you joining the Republican fold! *NM* Tom - 28/08/2012 01:23:55 PM 294 Views

*NM* Avendesora - 30/08/2012 09:48:47 PM 320 Views
Well, yeah; most of us are, but which one...? Joel - 29/08/2012 11:24:09 PM 636 Views
What else do we need to know? Obama was a disaster for 4 years, everything got worse..... Anonymous2000 - 28/08/2012 04:57:21 AM 624 Views
You are right. The Green Party is clearly the sensible choice. *NM* Stephen - 28/08/2012 08:10:26 PM 326 Views
Who??? *NM* everynametaken - 29/08/2012 05:02:27 AM 335 Views
I may have been joking when I said that. *NM* Stephen - 29/08/2012 10:47:27 AM 369 Views
*NM* everynametaken - 30/08/2012 05:43:10 AM 342 Views
The incumbent administration being deemed a 4-year disaster didn't help Kerry defeat Bush. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 09:28:03 PM 339 Views
But that was all in foreign policy. The economy was doing pretty well back then. Tom - 29/08/2012 02:04:13 AM 630 Views
+1 - the ecomony in 2004 was kicking butt and lead to GWB's reelection, *NM* Anonymous2000 - 29/08/2012 05:05:12 AM 339 Views
Only by comparison to the rest of Bushs presidency. Joel - 29/08/2012 09:53:20 AM 688 Views
You're actually blaming Bush for 9/11 now? Isaac - 30/08/2012 04:22:05 AM 609 Views
It is the Richard Clarke criticism. Joel - 30/08/2012 01:08:39 PM 669 Views
He also blames Bush for a Clinton dot-com bubble bursting. Tom - 30/08/2012 09:04:38 PM 567 Views
Question: Joel - 30/08/2012 11:04:35 PM 737 Views
You are so delusional it is a waste of time to discuss the matter further. Tom - 30/08/2012 11:12:42 PM 561 Views
Those sophisticated pets.com investors were driving the Dow at some point? Joel - 30/08/2012 11:32:11 PM 714 Views

I think you're trying to get me to vote "neither." nossy - 28/08/2012 03:08:07 PM 690 Views
"None of the Above!" ~ Monty Brewster *NM* TaskmasterJack - 28/08/2012 09:28:33 PM 337 Views
Ideally, I'm trying to just get as many people as possible to not vote Obama. Tom - 29/08/2012 02:04:57 AM 543 Views
Conventions won't do that. nossy - 29/08/2012 07:56:22 PM 587 Views
See, you're not taking it far enough. callandor1000 - 03/09/2012 04:03:40 AM 647 Views
Fox News (!) on Ryan's speech last night. ironclad - 30/08/2012 09:09:43 AM 651 Views
Fox News or a token liberal at Fox News? snoopcester - 30/08/2012 09:23:22 AM 772 Views
While I expect it's the latter, I can't help but hope the media will call the RNC out on their lies. Ghavrel - 30/08/2012 11:00:20 AM 647 Views
They are doing so, but it does not matter. Joel - 30/08/2012 03:26:47 PM 827 Views
Part of the problem is that trust in media is an all time low and the earned that random thoughts - 30/08/2012 04:49:23 PM 678 Views
Much of it is Reagans old PR man creating Fox News to falsely convince people media is untrustworthy Joel - 30/08/2012 07:35:19 PM 737 Views
Lies is a strong word. If the RNC lies, Obama is postively burning through his pants wardrobe. Tom - 30/08/2012 10:04:39 PM 604 Views
The cancer thing was absurd, yes. *NM* Ghavrel - 31/08/2012 12:45:33 AM 278 Views
I am confused about so many things concerning this election. callandor1000 - 03/09/2012 03:53:35 AM 604 Views
