Your stereotypes are great but I'm glad you have that you have that much faith in Obama to bring about all that change. But I'm afraid I'll have to disagree w/your doomsday outlook. I hardly believe that a healthcare plan to help 50 million uninsured gain some type of health coverage (note: not free), increased education breaks for the poor and more disposable income for the masses will lead to mediocrity as you believe. Your argument is old hat as the Right wingers said the same things about clinton in 1992, but none of it came true. Instead, the economy performed wonderfully(as it usually does under Democrats) and we had one hell of a surplus until Bush came to power. I find it almost ridiculous that you think the Bush administration has done anything to help anyone in this country other than himself and his rich buddies. I hope to speak you again in 4 years when, of course, none of your fantasies come true.

Haha. Get ready for an electoral college landslide on Tuesday Sarge. No point in being bitter for the next 4 years regarding your new commander-in-chief.

"I would vote Palin and Joe the Plumber if I had the choice"
You might just get it it 2012!
Wow Sarge. Glad to see you have finally gotten over your delusions about McCain winning in 2008. The greedy ole party surely can come up w/someone better than Palin by 2012, don't you think?

I think President Bush secretly admires Obama and wishes he could openly support him like Colin Powell. Who knows? Maybe he did vote for Obama just to support a winner.

I wonder what GWB was thinking when he cast his vote. He must have hated voting for McPalin with cheese after they've been dogging him this week.

This is so true. I have a pair of red boxer-briefs my wife really likes. Everytime I wear them she has to comment on my aka-panties as she calls them. I'm thinking about going all red in 2009.

Sarge: the definition of delusional is continuing to believe something despite all evidence to the contrary. The Republicans will be lucky if the electoral college doesn't turn into a landslide. Palin is setting herself up for 2012, but she is so polarizing, the Greedy Ole Party would be smart to go with Gov. Jindal of Louisiana in 2012 and forget they ever heard of that horrible moose-hunter from Alaska. Prepare to welcome President-elect Obama!

Does this mean we can now get Christmas Cakes earlier? If so, they should be stale that much quicker.

So go sell your car, xbox and TV and pass the money out on the street if it'll make you feel better. The only person who can help a homeless person get a 9-5 job is that person themself. You obviously have never had any addictions to anything or you wouldn't sound so sanctimonious. But you just keep stoking your ego and telling yourself what a wonderful person you are.

Can you read? I asked why you don't do something to really help a homeless person other than contributing to a daily alcohol or drug binge? When is the last time you went and cut vegetables or cleaned at a homeless shelter? I'm not selfish at all. But I'm also not an idealistic, pat-myself-on-the-back fool who thinks he's making a difference in the world by giving 100 en to a homeless person.

Lieutenant: Thanks for donating to his next bottle of booze. Next time, instead of throwing him a bill, take him to your house for a shower and a meal. Then take him and buy him a used suit and shoes. Drive him to the employment agency and help him fill out a job application. Next time, try asking him if he'll come over and cut your grass or some wood for 2000 yen. 99/100 will say no thanks to every bit of that help. So why don't you get off your soapbox and high horse and quit judging others just b/c you threw a bum some loose change?

What a bunch of kooks! Why do they care so much about the scum of the earth? How about channeling energy toward building one room school buildings in Africa? or raising money for mosquito nets? There are so many needy people in the world and these idiots have a ha*d on for vicious murderers. Ridiculous!

She's not that attractive now. I'd say she'll look better 10 years from now and might actually have something interesting to say.
