In the UK, if you wrap yourself in the flag people just think you’re a tw@t. And doubly so if it’s the English flag. And as for flag rules, most people don’t even know there’s a right way up to fly it. Not that we’re not patriotic, just that flag-worship is a bit sucky.

You have witness the brilliance of Republicans: McCain was sacked!!! Republicans had no time outs in the forth with 41 (days till election) seconds to play. They are down by 10 (polls). McCain is not getting up. “What in the hell!” yelled Obama and the Dems, “He didn’t even get hit that hard!” ”Stop the tape…STOP THE DAMN TAPE!”I said.

What just happened? In football, if there is an injury on the field, even in the case where McCain’s team had no time outs, the clock stops, until the injured player is taken off the field; it buys the team, with the ball, some time to reset. Here’s what happened:

The McCain camp was sinking in the polls: the economy, McCain’s campaign managers ties to Fannie Mae as late as August 2008 (yes, last month), the Palin phenomenon fading as more Americans learn more about her. They did what anyone would do in desperation; they faked an injury on the political field of play, to stop the clock, to change the subject once more. “Reset the clock to the day following the Republican Convention,” the referee announced. (This is where Gov. Palin enters the scene last time) “They are trying to steal the game!” exclaims the Obama bench. “Look! Chris Rock is here,” Larry King said. “You damn Right Larry! What the hell is going on? Why is Bill Clinton in the Republican huddle,” said Chris. (Meanwhile back on the field). “You gotta take the sack now John” the coach said with an angry demeanor. “But, but”, said John. “TAKE THE *%# $#@^ SACK!” said the coach. “McCain is sacked again!” rang out from the press booth. “TIME OUT, TIME OUT!” yelled the Republican bench. “We don’t have any time outs left coach; we have 47 (the tide began to turn) seconds left; however, the fundamentals of our team are sound,” McCain said. “What in the hell are you talking about now John McCain? Lay your ass down! You are supposed to be injured.” said Mitt Romney. McCain has to wait on play out. (Back in the huddle just moments later) “Now Let’s recapture that Maverick, Reformer image again,” McCain said in the Republican huddle “Break!”

This is why Republicans are good a winning elections. They create suspense: Palin and now a campaign suspension ploy. Let’s see how their campaign bounces back now. Fasten Your Seat Belts!

He and I have major issues, in fact However, I have a heck of a lot more issues with the other guys.
As far as the name, I was being made fun of for the type of adult beverage I enjoy, and the nickname stuck, lol.

I respect your opinion there Froofrou (Even if I dont’ respect the goofy name ) You support a candidate, I’m guessing McCain based on your other posts, correct me if I’m wrong, but you realise, AND admit that your candidate isn’t perfect.

I also do not beleive him, but won’t publicly accuse him of lying unless I have something to back up said accusation.

I was just saying that his statement of CF no longer being an independent because he’s taken sides is kind of bogus. I consider myself an independent, that currently agrees with the Democratic party. I have also tended to agree with them in the past. However, I do not say I’m a member of their party, or of any party, because that is a dangerous statement. Too many people join a party, and always vote for that party regardless of their candidates qualifications. If the Republican party puts up a candidate I think is better than the Democratic party’s candidate, I will vote for them. Until then, I’m an independent, and I’m taking the Democratic party’s side.

It’s part of the initiation ceremony. First you have to sign your name (in blood) to the liberal contract declaring your intent to do all in your power to force people into gay marriages and make them have abortions. Next comes the ritual spitting on the Holy Bible. We end the night with rhythmic stomping on the American Flag (we have special choreographers for this part, this year we’ve asked Paula Abdul to do honors). Finally we light the whole thing on fire and make s’mores. I probably shouldn’t be telling about our secret liberal ceremonies, but hey, we’re all friends, right?

I get to be a citizen because I was born here. Deal with it. Artists and people in the service industry contribute to society. They don’t get your pension, but they contribute to society. And some (a lot, actually) of them are even *gasp* Republicans.

I like how Megabob gives a list of ‘accomplishments’ and then basically says, “ok, now it’s your turn to make up lies”.
I am not going to say what I’ve done to earn my status as a citizen because regardless of what I say you’ll call it lies.
Also, Musicians and waitresses don’t deserve their citizenship status? I suppose neither does the garbage man. You know, the guy who every day deals with the refuse of society to make your life a little easier. Or the cashier at Wal~Mart. You know, the single mom who’s fiance’ left her when she got pregnant so now she works 2 jobs just to support a 5 year old child because she’s not getting any child support from the kid’s dead beat father. Don’t dismiss someone as not earning their place in our country JUST because you don’t think their job is worthy.

Wellllll, “I cain’t sing, I cain’t dance.” I hate most people, so I would go broke waiting tables or in retail in general… don’t put much stature in college, in general, although I do have a couple of degrees and the odd continuing ed classes (but some of the dumbest people I’ve met are smart). I cannot draw, or even count. So I guess that I have not been created equal, or endowed by my Creator with any Unalienable rights.

Eddie, it does depend upon the state, and as I was reassigned around the country, I was often precluded from voting in primaries when one had to declare, I considered the cost of maintaining my independent status.

By: Charlie Foxtrot

Charlie Foxtrot — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 23:32:03 +0000

Ah, but Eddie, if you read this old post, I will tell you why I am voting for Obama this time around. Do as you will, but 1. I respect John McCain and I was very much behind him in 2000, in fact I emailed his campaign when it becane obvious that the current President would win the GOP, I urged him to go independent. However, at this point in history his campaign, in every regard represents the past and quite frankly, the past has failed. Obama may not be right, but he may. But whatever happens, he represents the future. I must commit to the future, because the past has failed us.

Precisely, I was never fond of the whole covering yourselves in symbols anyway. Or the flag laws. Sounded too much like idolatry which is supposed to be a sin yet I see tons of religious people doing it which evokes my hypocrisy gag reflex so I just avoid any kind of flag waving.

Thanks PM.. I will say this though, the generation my dad came from seemed to have a whole different take on America. I think in a lot of ways it chaffed him a bit after all that he gave for the country. But I will say this, his country gave back to him what he gave in the end.

Maybe. BOTH Roosevelts despite being deader than doorknobs look more appetizing than any of the current candidates. Especially considering one turned the US into a power in the world, and the other brought us out of a depression and ended World War II for the most part.

So what i’m saying is, we have big shoes to fill, and all we have are midgets.

Although, if you’re in an Independent, I don’t believe you can vote in the Primaries, can you? I think you’re stuck with the General Election. However, if I’m wrong, please let me know.

I don’t know about the others, but for sure the ACLU! Don’t you know that they’re the cause for 99.9999999% of the problems in the U.S.?

And before I get a tongue lashing, I was only kidding.. about the 99.9999999% anyway.. I do believe that the ACLU is the cause for a lot of the problems though.

And you guys? Musicians, waitresses, etc.. people who TALK about doing wonderful deeds but really haven’t done squat- just like Obama which is why I’ll vote for McCain.
Now go ahead and make up lies about the great things YOU’VE done.
