McCains proposal on Monday Night Football changed my RW friends mind

[DeepBlueDem]

from McCain to Obama.

This was his email.

<snip>

Hey *******,

I realized that McCain is a crazy mofo. He is encouraging government involvement in professional sports.
I hope sports fans out there, take his comments any way possible. He wants to destroy the integrity of the game. Erasing the power from the leagues and put them in Governments hands. This is proof, that he wants to expand government. Quite frankly, the leagues have taken great steps in disciplining athletes.

P.S. I casted my vote this morning and its not for McCain. I'll come by tonight well talk more about it.

XXXXXXXXX

[yardwork]

[GalleryGod]

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. What exactly did he propose?

I missed it.

[DeepBlueDem]

5. Government involvement in Performance Enhancing Drug Testing and Discipline

[skooooo]

8. A "small government" republican.

:eyes:

They can't even keep their mouths shut when it's to their advantage.

[Lucky 13]

9. So Football should be regulated, but not the financial markets?

What a jackass

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. Wasn't this already on the table?

Of course, mentioning it on the eve of an election at a sports arena of all places was maybe not the BEST place to mention it?
:silly:
Just par for the course for the McBush campaign.............

6. No doubt Obama changed a few minds last night

He kicked McCain's ass on Monday Night Football even more than in any of the debates!

[demokatgurrl]

7. Yeah, that's real Republican

not what they've been saying all these years. :wtf:
Seems like BIG GOVT to me.

16. What did Obama say?

[Catch22Dem]

18. Needs to be a college football playoff system

Rather than BCS computer rankings. WORRRRRD to that!

[NotThisTime]

17. What did Obama say?

[writes3000]

20. Obama said if he could change one thing about sports it would be...

to have a playoff in the College Football system instead of BCS standings.

It's actually a really smart answer that a true sports enthusiast would give.

10. You know..

I think there are a lot of people out there who might be looking for an out. A way to change sides, without losing face. A way to explain to their friends that they changed opinions, apart from "I was wrong all along, stuck in my ways".

So if they can find something they can display outrage over, they can cover behind that.

And hey, thats all good with me

[Lucy Goosey]

12. Ha! Awesome.

[spanone]

13. so nothing about the 'constitution' or our 'rights' or 'war' moved him? but sports did?

good god

[JimWis]

14. Thanks for sharing that - one more vote for us. By the way -

it looks as if someone stole a slice of your pie.

[Renew Deal]

15. Funny how little things can affect people.

[bobd0]

19. Wow! The confluence of sports and politics creates a sensible voter!

I often criticize sports fans for being so well versed in sports stats yet often so ignorant regarding politics. If all it takes is McCain's proposed meddling in sports to bring fans into the fold that's fine by me.

BTW, is that pumpkin pie? Mmmmm. My favorite.

21. I don't see where he said he voted for obama. Could be Barr.
