Big Brother: Final vote 4th Nov 2008

[eek.]

After reading through the reams of gossip laden bitchy threads in here I suddenly realised that party policy is actually almost irrelevant nowadays.

Modern society seems to concentrate almost exclusively on the personalities.

What we have now is four housemates and their families all staying in the Big Brother house, John Sarah Barack and Joe, and the final eviction vote is 4th November.

:drink:


GL to all

[eek.]

Well this one survived.
Going to bounce it weekly untill intelligent discourse or November 4th comes first.

Hey eek - this country ain't normal - the election started two years ago for a four year term and has built in crescendo ever since. It started with the policies and has devolved into personality as it always does in this modern sound bite era.

Everyone knows that McCain is slightly left of center while Obama is far left.

Everyone knows that McCain is a Washington insider and a bit of a maverick.

Everyone knows that Obama has no experience worth mentioning, but his good buddies from the Democrat Chicago political machine and in the Senate will tell him what to do.

Everyone also knows that the entry of Sarah Palin into the race has energized the right and has taken the wind out of the left wings sails. All of the dirt and the name calling the left does on Palin strengthens the right wings determination while it drives more and more of the undecided center into the right wing camp.

Finally, as you can tell by the popularity of this board, that politics in the US is more of a sport than it is anything else.

What a crazy way to run a country.

Could Obama campaign about the issues for once instead of everything being about "hope, change, more of the same, that's not real change" one liners?

If you actually listen to the guys policies, you see he will vastly increase gov. spending and taxes with all kinds of waste and that he knows nothing about foreign policy. He is so damn clueless it isn't even funny. He says one thing, then his campaign tells him what to say 3 days later and it usually mirrors Mccain or even Bush.

I’ve noticed a change in tone here. The Dems would tout BO in the beginning. He was new, he had a message. Hope and Change sounded good. He was articulate, above the fray. Then his message got old because he couldn’t explain it. People on the fence started to wonder what hope, what change. Still no explanation. Now the board is filled with the Dems in denial, whistling past the grave yard, so to speak. It’s all McCain this and Palin that. BO is hardly mentioned by his own supporters unless it’s in a defensive mode. Defense wins games not elections.
