OT: US President (US Dom Players only)

[Bwaha]

I was listening to NPR and they said our dear congress is planing on making the Patriot Act permanent. Please call your congress person and tell them your against this. Please don't let this slide. For your children if nothing else. If we don't stand together on this issue we will truly regret it.

Yeah, you should turn down the right of an equal trial to whoever is accused of being a terrorist. And any other right you don't like.

Let me play with Godwin's Law too!

"In Germany, they came first for the Communists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist;

And then they came for the trade unionists, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist;

And then they came for the Jews, And I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew;

And then . . . they came for me . . . And by that time there was no one left to speak up."

Yeah I'm surprised to see so many Obama votes. I had a thought that it would be more even, or perhaps McCain-leaning. Very interesting so far!

Really? It's pretty much exactly what I would have predicted... I think virtually every person I've talked politics with on the dominions channel was either pro Obama (or at least anti Mcain) or didn't care at all.

I would suggest gaming in general, and probably Dominions themes in particular filters out a lot of conservative folk.

Try something else than the Dom3 forums, then.

Please people, make sure you investigate the candidates for other offices. The president is not a lawmaker, but those running for the house and senate are. The winners of these 'small' elections make up the pool of people who run for the larger national offices. I beg you, please do not allow another Sarah Palin to become a governor, a senator, or representative. Only you can prevent forest fires.

I would be happy to have Palin as my governor, senator or representative. Just as most of her constituents are.
Despite your opinion of her, prior to the start of this election campaign she had the highest sustained favorability rating of any governer in history.

If you're surprised at the poll results, then you probably didn't see the pres election thread I started a month or so ago. That certainly rattled the hornets' nest, particularly as I was supporting McCain.

Wow rabelais...

And I thought my opinion would be the most off kilter in this thread...

Bravo, you've swallowed the moveon.org lines and can puke them up at will, I'm sure we'll be much better off with a group of people who don't bother to investigate the issues, but merely parrot whatever their 'intellectual' masters tell them.

And no, I'm not a supporter of Bush or McCain and have not and will not vote for them.

My guess is you would be quick to defend people like Pelosi and Reid, not to mention Jefferson just on general principles. They must be good people because they are not republicans!!!

Sheep, as I already said.

Its odd though, I was expecting at least one person to mention Ron Paul...
