1. What, you mean a slim majority of Americans doesn't like the idea of nuclear war?
She just wants Alaska to be a refuge for the lower 48.

7. All it shows is that people respond to click polls without thinking.
"Oh, sure, we can fight the Russians, har-har, <click>. Oooh, penis enlargement!"

8. Read the NATO treaty - Cold War II
Edited on Fri Sep-12-08 04:30 AM by Sodan
As an European I don't understand Bush, McCain and Obama's position on letting Georgia (Tblisi) into NATO.

Russia sees this as aggression.

You would be at war right now if the Europeans hadn't refused to let Georgia into NATO.

You probably don't like this guy's views but here he is very accurate:

Palin shouldn't have said "Perhaps so" - she should have said "YES!"

10. They are crazy. Bush instigated this whole Georgia thing, I think he figured it was win-win.
Either Putin lets it go on the eve of the Olympics, or Putin responds and it gives McCain a chance to rattle his saber and take the focus off the economy. Either way, up with crazy!

11. Okay.
I'm just following it from the sidelines.

Could be true - there was an outrage in Russia, true.

Palin was horrible - saw a clip where she didn't know what the Bush Doctrine is..

Very confusing to follow your election.
Looking forward to the debates.
Biden (even myself :) ) could expose her ignorance.

12. The Biden-Palin debate is THE thing to watch on TV this fall.
It's going to be comical.

4. Nation. Of. DOORKNOBS.
UNbelievable.

These people DO realize that a war with Russia will mean they WILL, in all likelihood, be vaporized.


Don't they?

I mean, PLEASE say they do realize this . .. Oh GOD, I live in a nation of fucking DOORKNOBS!!!!

6. 47% "DOORKNOBS." 46.99 too many.
Edited on Fri Sep-12-08 04:27 AM by RNdaSilva
However, after seeing the response to this question at AOL, "Do you think Sarah Palin is prepared to be vice president?" ... scary.

15. Oh, take a look at THIS recent Rasmussen poll:
I . . . this is unbelievable . . . well, really it's not, considering that, again, I live in a nation of doorknobs . . .

Q. If necessary, is Palin ready to be president?

Yes 40%
No 44%
Not Sure 15%

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

Q. Who has better experience to be president, Palin or Barack Obama?

Mind you, Palin is not RUNNING for president, but the results?

Obama 49%
Palin 44%
not sure 8%

So, that makes 52% of lobotomy patients, racists, dickheads and sub-idiots.

Astounding. Absolutely Amazing and Astounding.

I used to think that the idea of the average voter having to take a test before he or she is allowed to vote was ridiculous . . . I'm actually starting to rethink that opinion when I read shit like this.

13. She totally turned on the Rapture Ready crowd. Who are the rest of these idiots?
Proof to me that some polls are seriously flawed. "Do they really think we're that stupid?"

BRING ON THE APOCALYPSE BABY!

:nuke:

14. Here is my take. Even repukes do not want a war with Russians. I hope this causes them to open their
eyes and smell the craziness and madness of McLame's choice of VP.
