Wait, didn't McCain's brother say "I'm involved in a very important family political project" on his voice mail? He is part of the McCain campaign in a very negative way (i.e. No. VA is communist country) therefore he's fair game, even more so with his total dickishness to the 911 operator.

I don't even know how Obama's aunt being an illegal immigrant is on equal footing to the 911 call.

Re: obama informercial gameday thread
 

I don't hold Obama responsible for his aunt, or his half-brother or any one in his family. Yet, ironically, I'm being asked to hold him responsible for leading the country for the next four years.

Re: obama informercial gameday thread
 

[quote=saden1;496431]So what if his aunt is here illegally? There roughly 12 million of them. What is the expectations here? He should take responsibility for her being here illegally? He should or already does support her financial to be here? If you're going after him go after him for his illegal immigration policy in which he is for eventually giving illegal aliens residency (something McCain was for before he was against).[/quote]
I never mentioned her here illigally. I questioned the fact that Obama preaches "brother helping brother" but it seems he is not helping his own family members.

Again, how close is he to her??

I'm guessing not very.

Re: obama informercial gameday thread
 

[quote=Mattyk72;496393]How did he let this happen exactly? Is he responsible for the actions of all of his family members? Is he supposed to financially support everyone in his family? I thought you weren't in favor of socialism?

Apparently this Aunt BS is now being included in those brilliant robocalls going out. Pretty tasteless, but nothing new I guess.[/quote]

Are you saying that the MCCain camp is sending out these robocalls?

I could not find anything on their relation only that she came here 9 years ago invited by Obama and he has had comunication with her. What I first saw is that she helped raise his father but that might not make sense because of her age. Trying to do a serch really gives nothing more on her but she did attend his swearing in back in 2005.

The calls are stamped with his approval aren't they? Are you saying they aren't from the Republicans??

I was asking how you knew they where making these types of calls?

Re: obama informercial gameday thread
 

I sware if one more actor tells me who to vote for I'm gonna pop (Matthew Broderick being the latest). Now I understand why actors tend to be democrats, as being an actor or writer usually means waiting tables at some point and a party that favors welfare and handouts is definately more appealing for an industry with that type of infastructure. However I wish that someone would admit point blank that the reason these celebrities are mindlesly endorsing Democrats is because it favors their industry not because they're great political analysts and as most of you know I hate people that mindlessly endorse a party (Crazy Evangelicals for Republicans just to be fair).

I don't know maybe I'm on edge because I don't know what we're going to get from either canidate. I mean if McCain gets elected we get a hot vice president and if Obama gets elected we get the coolest president ever so on that front it's a win win.

Actors act and live their life in a false world of make believe.

i disagree. most of the stars started out working min. wage jobs, trying to catch a break. so they have literally seen both sides of the argument. who better to decide? although i don't know anyone that votes according to an endorsement

You give them way to much credit.

Re: obama informercial gameday thread
 

It's not like there all actors are Democrats, they just happen to be the most vocal.

Interesting, you call these Hollywood actors "mindless" and yet all you had to say about the candidates is "cool" and "hot." Mindless indeed.

Carlos Rogers with the quote of the year on the election, and unfortunately is probably something that shouldn't have been said:

[quote]“Hey, like a lot of people said, one president gonna stick it up your butt, the other one’s gonna stick it further in the butt, so it don’t matter, man. Whatever happens, happens. That’s something we can’t control.”[/quote]

:doh: It was a joke Saden. Maybe not a funny one, but I imagine you at least knew it was a joke.
