I know that this presidential race is already fraught with trivialities and nuance but I cannot help but look at McCain and wonder, “Is this guy still alive?”. I don’t mean any disrespect to the man, and I appreciate the times where he’s stood out from the crowd and blazed his own trail. Kudos. Kudos on your defense of human rights in rejecting the use of water-boarding as an interrogation technique.
This all aside, tell me that this man is NOT being animated via electro-shock neural-puppetry…observe exhibit the first…

The man is 71 years old. He’s made it this far for Christs sake. I say we cut him some slack.
January 29th, 2008 at 11:18 am
I say slack or not, he’s still in rouge shape. Who’s to say he’d survive the presidency even for a single term due to his frail state.
Of course death is but a doorway, time but a window, he’ll be back.

If surviving the presidency is that much a concern I’d say you’d need to lump Obama in with McCain then. Shit, in fact, Obama may have worse odds of surviving if elected. Lol.

McCain’s a meat popsicle

Do you really think that Obama has those kinds of problems to look forward to? The only difference between him and, say Bush, in having such problems is that lunatic fringe white people would be against him because of his ethnicity. That’s just one more group in a large collection of groups that would like to bag a president, I would guess. A sitting United States President has a lot of enemies these days, sadly.
January 29th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Yes I do think Obama would have those kinds of problems to look forward to.
All it takes is one of those lunatic fringe whites to take him out. Same with Lincoln, JFK, MLK, Malcolm, and RFK.
All it takes is one or several committed crazies. History has shown us that on multiple occasions.

Obama is the antichrist, you know. I read it on the Internet, so it must be true.
January 29th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
lol
On that note, I think I should clarify.
From Wikipedia.com – Just to get the record straight:
“Obama was born in Honolulu to a Kenyan father and an American mother. He lived most of his early life in the Pacific island U.S. state of Hawaii. From ages six to ten, he lived in Jakarta, Indonesia. A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, Obama worked as a community organizer, university lecturer, and civil rights lawyer before running for public office. He served in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2004.”
He’s not from the middle-east, he’s not a muslim (though his dad is/was), and he’s not born of a jackal. Last time I checked, you can still legally be President when you’re muslim, maybe not if you’re born of a jackal. I’ll have to look that up. lol

“maybe not if you’re born of a jackal”…lol
I agree with R/S that there’s the very real possibility that he’ll be a big target as President…and there’s plenty of crazy fucks out there.
January 29th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
…But does he have ‘666′ tatooed on his asshole?
January 29th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
… and I agree also that he will be a target. It is unfortunate, because he’s a great man and I’ll be voting for him, but they best step up the Secret Service for him.
January 29th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
LOL, if he’s the antichrist, then all you need to do is flip up his tail and inspect that O-ring, post-Challenger style.
January 29th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
And get that brotha some running shoes…
