  1. Check the Obama thread in Crossfire if you want to see what's happening, but "winning" a state in the primary doesn't matter in the way you think an election does. In fact, you Obama peeople, just say something there, it doesn't have to be in depth. Obama is still ahead. Here are the scores: OBAMA 1520 HILLARY 1424
  2. Actually CNN called Texas for Clinton, but the reality is that who "wins" doesn't matter because a tiny percentage over or whatever is basically a tie. Hillary needed a real win like she got in Ohio across the board to get up with Obama, but she can't seem to do it. It would seem like Pennsylvania, and the late states will determine the winner. Here is the wiki on Texas' primary system: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Democratic_primary,_2008
  3. I collect hot sauce and this stuff is some of the hottest I've come across that isn't impossible to consume - though it really isn;t pleasant. This stuff, or garlic jelly makes a weird but tasty egg, bacon and cheese sammich after hangovers. I'm also big on Tabasco on most anything.
  4. And oh yeah: Obama 1,520 Clinton 1,424
  5. He's ahead in the count so that would be pretty surprising news. Where'd you hear those "rumors"? And Stereotype, for me to claim that Obama has addressed the tangled web you put forth any more than other candidates I'd be lying. If you'd like to read directly what Obama has said about his plan for action in some of countries you have mentioned here are links for you to read: http://www.barackobama.com/issues/iraq/#bring-home http://www.barackobama.com/issues/foreignpolicy/ I do welcome any examples you can find which disprove what is written within the links, I know his stance on Iran is a bit more peachy on his website than he has actually offered to pro-Israel groups: http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/281249,CST-NWS-OBAMA03.article With regards to Syria, I feel his commitment to peaceful negotiation and their involvment in managing boarder crossing militants is better than him threatening them. Bush was a saber rattling asshole which is why he hasn't resolved a single conflict; maybe it's time to try a new approach. That said I can't make claims about the finer points on the smaller diplomatic issues you want answered; I can't about Obama, or really Hillary or McCain. None of them has controlled foreign policy and none that I know of has offered the detailed plan you seem to be seeking. The insults felt by the "Muslim world" or "the Saudis" are perhaps possible outcomes but show me where they are a given. Resolving those concerns is diplomacy, and in those issues all you have portrayed is the complexities of the problems. If one candidate or any person has a perfect answer, I'd like to see it. Feel free to correct me or rebut what I've said, but I doubt I'll be writing many more paragraphs here for a while.
  6. Did I stutter? Is that a rhetorical question? GTFO
  7. I will not let any of you win. Posting here is a waste of your time.
  8. Texas isn't done but: Obama 1,451 Clinton 1,365
  9. ^That just sounds weird.
  10. 11k right now. Hmmmm. http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&userid=on-the-red-carpet
  11. What's an example of a deduction you used?
  12. Figured I'd spice it up a bit in here with some Leah Dizon. http://leahdizon.beautychicks.com/
  13. When you get woken up by a kid asking his (naked) mom for a glass of water. She wipes the sleep from her eye and responds "go upstairs and ask your dad". His dad lives upstairs.
  14. AMEN! What the fuck is all the hype about tax cuts? I paid more and got back less than I ever have before this year.
  15. And Stereotype, you haven't offered anything related to Obama aside from the same old generic criticisms. You didn't need to write a paragraph about the Middle East to try to make your point appear substantive. All of those things exist for any candidate, so your argument could be the same for any mainstream candidate running for president upbeat or not. Further your continuing argument about a "cult" is insulting, albeit a passive aggressive one. At least I have the courtesy to tell you what I think of you directly.
  16. Had you read my original post of that link, paid attention to the dates, or looked at the other candidates you would see that the no votes correspond with his and the other candidates presidential campaigns. As to his state record, you make my point about you being someone not worth focusing on because you're just looking to argue. Your point was foreign policy based, but essentially said Obama had no substance. I gave you his voting record from 1997 up through now for the positions he held. It gives you a voting record and it captures the actual work he's done to make his beliefs a reality. I am aware of his stances on Iran, but I also feel that he weighs facts and necessity more heavily than our current president. I don't fear conflict; I fear the abuse of power such as that which brought us to Iraq. Hillary voted for Iraq and the patriot act for populous reasons, McCain is a flip flopper, so I feel better about Obama than I do the other candidates on issues of conflict and war.
