gimme a break, it was a 95% white state(Iowa) that began his winning streaks in the primaries...

and this race isn't about race now..it's FINALLY about the issues, mostly the economy (thank god) and that is exactly why obama will win...

you really like making up lies, dont you? i dont think Obama is only guna win cuz he's black and i never said anything to support that.

and you're extremely small minded if you think this race isnt about race to many, many, voters.

3rd parties are unpopular because they're viewed as throwing your vote away because there is 0 chance of them winning. the two primary parties arent made of people with uniform opinions, but you dont vote for the party, you vote for the individual and theres only 2 individuals you can vote for that might make a difference. third parties are also vilified for splitting the votes and making the party that resembles them more loose. 3rd parties cant even advertise in order to gain support because supporters are limited in how much money they can use to support them and often dont make it on the ballet in most states.

McCain didnt lie when he said Obama would raise taxes on Working families. because working families is any family that has someone thats employed. so if Obama raises taxes on anything, such as capital gains taxes, he's raising taxes on working families... sure, its stated in a way to make it look bad, but its an ad for join McCain and Obama does just as bad; you gotta expect a bias...

reliability only comes after its known, experimentation in science, which is a huge part of science, is quite dangerous. and then even after experimentation, science is very dangerous, nuclear power being a prime example.

sure there are some religious people that are that stupid, but there are also people that believe in science that is that stupid.

Just as proof that science, like religion, if bent to prove a man-made point instead of used to discover truth - is just as dangerous an entity in our search for knowledge >>

Umm no. Science uses empirical proof to infer conclusions. Doesn't mean it's true, but its serves a much more practical purpose in achieving our desired outcomes than does religion. Religion is pointless in doing that.

he didnt say it was just as reliable as religion, he said just as dangerous as religion. and i think what he's saying is false, because its much larger threat to our search for knowledge then religion. for example, the largest threat to the human race is nuclear war, a creation made from trying to prove a man-made point and would end all search for knowledge.

im gonna have to agree with VNP; your sexuality is programmed into you by society. different cultures find different things attractive in a mate. one could argue that gayness is an anomaly that deprives the individual from certain happiness that could normally achieve through producing their own offspring with a loving wife and that the government has just as much place trying to rehabilitate gay people as they do psychopaths.

as for people who say McCain picked Palin to get the Hillary vote; thats just stupid. when picking a vice president, you're going to pick someone thats strong in demographics you're weak. McCain didnt pick her for one tiny group, Palin obviously polled strong against a wide range of demographics including women, and he's no more rediculous for picking a young women as Obama is for picky an old whitey.

and its hilarious how people complain about her lack of experiencing! i rather have an inexperienced women thats vp just because she's a women then an inexperienced president thats president just because he's black and a good public speaker.

or you could smuggle in the hard drives. or if you're going across the border with your laptop, just remove the harddrive ahead of time, and if they ask for your laptop, give it to them without the hard drive.

"Difficult as if I'm not mistaken unions in general are protected by the government so you would need to remove that protection from all unions before you could destroy the teacher's union and then keep it removed since as soon as they can they will start up another one.  Also teaching public school is not a fun job, I don't know many teachers who actually enjoy it, so without the perks the unions offer you will have fewer people willing to work in the public sector, opting instead for private institutions, leaving you with the people the private schools don't want and probably wanting a lot more money than they're making now."

no... all they would need to do is make a law making teacher's unions illegal...

if fewer teachers want to teach at public schools, and more want to go private, that will allow private schools to expand and multiply which is a good thing considering private schools do a much better job of teaching kids. with fewer kids and teachers, the public schools will be better off in funding, and they'll need to address the problems with their practices the makes kids and teachers gravitate towards private schools and fix them.

No I don't mind if people like sports or books. But then you pay your own money and go to a private organization. Don't force the tax payers to do it. As for books, I only said post modernism. It's idiotic nonsense that prevails in the liberal arts, but fails to respond to criticism from scientific and mathematical circles.

if it is idiotic nonsense that fauls to respond from scientific and mathematical circles, then it should be covered in school inorder to expose it for what it is.

depends on the lvl of encryption.

the irish were slaves to the british much later then the 12th century....

"If the murderer had had a gun he could have killed several people instead of just one."

the murderer could of killed several people with the knife... it wasnt his intention though, so even if he had a gun, he would of most likely only killed 1 person.
