[AVGWarhawk]

You ask as if I like my current president. He is simply better than the other options.

No sir..he is about the same as the other options.

I have no counterpoint to offer, nor will I.

As leftist as I come across, I have voted republican more times in my adult life.

My defense of the spinless one is not partisanship, but a fear of the far right winger choices.

Mc Cain was so moderate, why did Palin have to mess it up for him? Why? Why? Why?

I was a McCain (warhero centrist republican) shoe in until Palin came around. She makes Joe Biden look like FDR.

And how come that drone strikes etc. are suddenly a-OK now that it's not an evil Republican doing them?

Possibly because the strikes done now seem to obliterate higher value targets (Al Queda leadership. Taliban leaders, etc) than when the previous administration launched their strikes; to paraphrase Voltaire, "Sucess is the best deodorant"...

Amen to that!...

I have a rather cynical acquaintance who has this theory: the GOP leadership knew just how badly the Bush administration had screwed up the economy and they knew the worst was yet to come as a result of those failures after Bush left office; not wanting a GOP member in the White House when the Bandini hit the fan, they put a "poison pill" in the 2008 campaign in the form of Palin. Therefore, a Dem presides over the maelstrom of economic failure, the GOP gets a "free kick" in the form of having a Dem to kick around with minimal blame on themselves, and then the GOP can take back the White House just as they economy begins to come around, taking credit for the "rescue of" the economy...

I don't think this was a GOP master plan, because I don't think the GOP leadership is that smart (as evidenced by the "sterling" candidates they are fielding, so far), but, I must admit, if the idea didn't sound like something out of a political novel, it would rate some consideration...

I like the drone strikes.

It don't cost me a plane ticket to DC to attend family members funerals.

Ceremonies at Arlington are beautiful, but twice as sad for some reason...

Maybe because you know they died for rich people, and Cheneys little mercenary company.

But I am just a pinko commie pig right?

Pardon my back to back posts, but I type slow and caught this late.

But YES!

They were simply setting themselves up for 2012, and were willing to drive the country into the toilet to meet those goals.

Obama is going to win by default. Not because he is good, but because is is less harmful to the majority than the other options. Good job Repubs, no one else to blame but your extremism.

The man who says little, has more credibility than the man who says too much....Add that to the damn proverb thread, Soopaman2 said it, quote me..

Plausible theory actually...

Left wingers hate me, esp when they get owned in class

By "owned" do you mean when you do a little bubblerant and they don't reply?
Sorry to break it to ya but if you look they are probably not replying because they are either trying not to laugh too much or realised that you are a waste of time since you are blinded by ideology.

Take a step back bubbles, when you say that all the students are dumb and cannot debate your "points" or string together a coherent sentence in response does it not even enter your mind that it is you that is the one....?

A well known fact is that academia is dominated by lefties

Yes bubbles
Can you find a thing called a dictionary and look up the word "fact".
Look up the word "left" too in a political context and find the definition where it is put as "anything that is not a fruitloop wingnut conspiracy theorist"

[Stealhead]

I must admit I am a little baffled by the claim that "academia is dominated by lefties". The leanings of the facility is going to depend largely on the school.Bubblehead comes from FL so I assume that he either went to Florida State or the University Of Florida.I cant say so much about FSU but I myself attended classes at UF to finish my BA and I have several friends that attended UF for their entire post secondary education.Some of my friends are very conservative and they never once complained about the facility being a bunch of "lefties" and in my experiences the left right leaning where 50/50.

If Bubblehead dislikes lefties so much he should have done a little research into the faculty of the school/s that he attended/attends.I mean if you go to UC Berkeley and you hate lefties you are the one that looks foolish. Bubblehead should have looked at this site before enrolling http://www.yaf.org/topconservativecolleges.aspx or perhaps Bubblehead does not understand what liberal arts means.

I think either Bubblehead is overly caught up in his own leanings that he automatically sees anyone that is not as conservative as he considers correct he just labels them a leftist.Personally I think that it is good for a college or university to have a mixture in its faculty.In my experience most professors where open to discussion not opposed to it.

I dont know about others but I do not choose my friends based on their ideologies as Bubblehead does what matters to me is are they are good person are they a good friend to me not who they vote for or what their political leanings are.

That's about right. American politics is a revolving door of failed ideology that is very good at kicking out anyone who offers any tangible change.
