Damn it!

I wasn't, actually. I just use what I hear, I don't research politics. Typically because I hate political debates. In my school, nothing annoys me more than kids who are super-involed in politics. I can't enjoy my lunch when I have three kids pissing and moaning about the economy and Obama. I love when they say "My dad says.." or something like that, it just shows me that they are all brain washed by there parents to think the same way as them.

I sit at a different table now so I can enjoy a politics-free meal.

I agree with you. Politics are a very touchy subject that can turn the best of friends into the worst of enemies. And 90% of people can't get a point across in a political debate without resorting to insults.

Well, then you should hate me. I'm trying to become a political scientist.

Abortions are a little sad (image not being born) but isn't there this constitution thing that says we can do what we please because it is our right? If Palin was like this, I could image McCain had similair views, so I wasn't a huge fan of his. Thanks Obama for being undecided, you f*cking fifth wheel.

Anyway, if someone disagrees, I'm not looking to debate these facts, I'm just sharing my headache.

I didn't like her either (mostly because she struck me as being one of those stuck-up, airheaded, bitchy prom queen types), but I still would have preferred her to Biden. Between a pro-RKBAer and the dude who wrote the AWB, the choice is a no-brainer.

Meh, you don't bring up politics around me often so I don't hate you.

I guess it is a no-brainer on choices, but everyone wanted change. So far the only change I've seen is those rip off pennies with Obama stickers being sold for $19.95 on TV.

I have terrible impulse control when it comes to political debates. I'm in way too many Facebook groups where I argue with people about various issues (under my real name, no less!)

As far as change goes, I'm not as worried about Obama's foreign policy stances as many of the neo-conservatives seem to be. Besides rhetoric and symbolic gestures towards his most hippy-ish/leftist supporters, I don't expect him to be all that different from Bush in the later years of his administration. It's mostly his economic policies that worry me.
