nor was it popular*

it's not a very strong point any way. the government has been for the people by the people in some strange sense. that is if you call giving the people two or three candidates to choose from, and gearing it so that certain candidates need more than the majority to win allowing the people to govern.

 

it looks to me that northerners tend to be more democratic.

 

True....and also large urban areas. A large portion of the Dems in Georgia are probably in Atlanta.

 

but you said red neck....

 

i cant remember who it was but it was YEARS before a democrat/federalist was finaly elected as pres(and back then congress didnt mean **** because the new pres was alowed to replace the whole cabinet)

 

i don't know what to say. i was going to say why your statement didn't make sense, so i posted, then i re-read it and realized that i had mis-read it, so this will be my most useless post ever

 

got to go to bed this discusion we are having will have to continue tomarrow

EDIT*** lol kas did you see your sig and member status? LMAO ***** quite tasty i hear...

 

yeah i noticed lol. i'm like the moderators punching bag now

 

Dude, believe me, there are alot of rednecks in Illinois!

 

ha. didn't that used to say 1600 posts or was I reading that wrong?

 

haha don't rub it in. i know you did it!

 

1600? oofa that's a lot...

 

lol, illinois anywhere not north or within 40 miles west/south of chicago is pretty urban. i met mike he's a cool as hell guy (even though his political views blow! jk to each his own) but he has a strong southern IL accent that i didnt think started till you got near like Hannibal and more southern Illinois/Missouri not Springfield. i learned that day. haha. i wonder if i sound like i have an accent. damn city slickers!

 

Haha....I lived in North Carolina for awhile so that might explain the accent. Yeah Eric was totally cool too- alot more laid back and mellow than his "on-line" personality- (sorry I gave that away dude). Yeah you definitely have the Chicago accent, but I'm used to it, all my friends from college were from Chicago.

 

Are you sure? Youv'e set a pretty high bar in the past. LOL

i don't know what to say. i was going to say why your statement didn't make sense, so i posted, then i re-read it and realized that i had mis-read it, and it still didnt make any since...

so whos watching the debate right now? its quite good if i might add...

Your not making sense.

 

HAHAHA! i'm serious when i need to be. i just don't have a swastika shaped medallion stuck up my ***, so i play around once in a while. most of the stupid things i say are just to humor myself (i'm not trying to cover up for when i'm just wrong. i do do that some times too. haha i said doodoo.).

i missed the debate! i was studying in another dorm. working hard.

 

whoop whoop whoop!!!!!

 

i saw it.... seriously, it was close. i think i barely give it to obama simply for the fact that McCain didnt have a good response and repeated himself instead of actually creating a new answer or a counter answer only twice.... other than that both did a good job

 

Meh.....the debate was disappointing. I thought McCain would attack him on all his of his associations (Ayers, Wright, Rezco, etc.). Obama was his usual ignorant, lying self. Since when is health insurance a "right"? Idiot.....

 

mccain lied too then.....

 

Since poor people moved to America for free health insurance and welfare! Where would the draw be if we didn't give out free money and services??

 

I don't remember McCain saying it was a right. I thought he said it was a privilege.

 

about other things is what he meant, they both "lied" a little i feel. also when it comes to kids poor or not THEN health insurance SHOULD be a right. he wasn't stating it was a right for all people like whent he mandates were brought up he said they wouldnt be implied on smal businesses but felt that children should have it because they are in need and relativley cheap to insure, which is true as long as they dont have known serious health issues. however he didnt say e WOULDN'T mandate parents about that, which could definitely be an issue in a poor family.... not sure i agreed to much with that instead maybe have a gov't sponsered health care for the kids if te parents TRUELY cant afford it.
