^Ahh, but in a multi-party system you would have people who you tolerated because of similar views and similar hatred towards other more evil parties. Not to mention the parties that you pretended to tolerate because of similar hatred towards other parties, but deep down truly hated just as much.

why don't we just go to a one-party system? those work really well historically.

I think once the Democrats take control of the House, Senate and kill off a few of those conservative Justices and Obama takes office we can make some major changes. First, starting with a life term for Obama.
Second, enslaving all Republicans.

Step 1. Take away everyone's gun.
Step 2. Enslave all Republicans. Or Try Step 1 again.

In all seriousness, I don't think any conservative justices will be stepping down anytime soon. Stevens(88) and Ginsburg(75) will probably be the next to go. Scalia's the only old conservative justice, and he doesn't seem to be losing the fire.

How do you guys feel about the bailout after finding out that banks don't intend to use it to give loans at all, but rather just to shore up their own financial situation? http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/29/opinion/29wed1.html?ex=1383019200&en=4ea7a2b52d6a314c&ei=5124

While Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama “has tried to push his origins into the background, his ‘Islamic roots’ have won him a place in many Arabs’ hearts.”
That’s the observation of Iranian-born commentator Amir Taheri, whose column in Tuesday’s New York Post notes that many Arabs and other Muslims see Obama as “one of them.”
They see that Obama has Arabic-Islamic first and middle names: Barack means “blessed” and Hussein means “beautiful.” His last name is Swahili, an East African language based on Arabic, Taheri writes. His sister is named Oumah, Arabic for “the community of the faithful;” his daughter Malia bears the name of a daughter of the noted Caliph Othman; and his father and stepfather were both Muslims.
Although Taheri did not note it, Obama was raised partially as a Muslim when he lived in Indonesia with his mother and stepfather. While there, he studied at two schools and was registered at both as a Muslim student.
As such he received Islamic religious instruction, studied the Koran, and prayed with other students. He did attend mosque, albeit infrequently, with his stepfather.
Obama’s religious upbringing after Indonesia is somewhat of a mystery until his late 20s. At that point, Obama says he converted to Christianity after meeting the Rev. Jeremiah Wright in Chicago.
Still, Obama has maintained strong support from American Muslims, including Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam movement. Farrakhan has endorsed Obama and has called him the “messiah.”
These factors have made Obama a big hit in the Arab world, where he has received wide praise, including:
The Syrian regime has indicated its preference for Obama. Buthaina Shaaban, an adviser to President Bashar al-Assad, has written: “The change suggested by Obama is essential not only for the U.S. but for the entire human family.”
Libyan leader Muammar al-Qaddafi called Obama “a Muslim” and said: “All the people in the Arab and Muslim world and in Africa applauded this man. They welcome him and prayed for his success,” although Qaddafi also expressed criticism of Obama’s comments on the future of Jerusalem.
Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said this year: “We like Mr. Obama and we hope that he will win the election.”
Hezbollah’s second in command, Sheik Naim al-Kassim, urged Americans to vote for Obama as a step toward peace with Islam, and pro-Hezbollah columnist Amal Saad-Ghorayeb said there is “no doubt Arabs should welcome an Obama presidency,” according to Taheri.
In Saudi Arabia, commentator Hussein Shobokshi wrote that an Obama presidency “would mark an important moral transformation in the superpower and is a healthy indicator of the long-awaited improvement in the international arena.”
Some columnists also have noted Obama’s close ties to several Palestinian radicals, including Columbia University Prof. Rashid Khalidi — former communications director for the Palestinian Liberation Organization — and another Palestinian political activist, the late Edward Said.

What is your point, hutchins?
(Or rather, what is the point of you copying and pasting someone else's point?)

i wasn't aware of any of that hutchins. i'll be sure to vote against obama because his parents chose for him to go to a muslim school. because after all, anybody who isn't a white christian is probably a terrorist and couldn't lead their way out of a paper bag, let alone a whole country.
I'm sure that came from a reliable source such as Fox News.

Interesting. So, if I see you as a racist right wing nut job, it's true, right?

No, I didn't get that info from Fox News. However you might want to look at this.
http://pewresearch.org/pubs/1001/campaign-media
Here are the findings from the Project for Excellence in Journalism.
"Press treatment of Obama has been somewhat more positive than negative, but not markedly so."
"But coverage of McCain has been heavily unfavorable"
So while you attack Fox News for being overly favorable for McCain, which is inaccurate, you forget to mention that the media as a whole has been favorable to Obama. Fox News has been equally negative on both of the candidates 40% negative for both.

You're either dumb or racist yourself. I happen to have plenty of African American friends and all of them would agree that I am far from racist. I am a conservative... Big Deal! That doesn't make me a racist.

If you had any black friends you would know not to call them 'African American' friends, hutchins.
