Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

another tephlon candidate. I respect his service and sacrifice in the military, I just don't agree with his politics.

At least he has politics.
What the hell has Obama really done and for how long?
How many years in politics?
Sorry man. If I wanted a nobody in office, I would vote for myself.

If your vote for Obama is just a vote against McCain I have no problem with that. Just say it instead of pretending that Obama has a clear cut plan to save the US.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

I'll concede guys... there is a small part of me that hopes that McCain wins the election, because I think whomever is elected will be fucked... and blamed for the mess that the Bush Administration has made these past 8 years.

I understand the kind of indoctrination NLA gets living in California. When you hear the media repeating the liberal talking points every day, it starts to seep into your subconscious. I don't know how I managed to escape the indoctrination.

where do you live Lars?

Obama is an joke.
He has all these ideas, but i haven't seen one agenda on how he proposes to implement them.

Actually he has put an agenda out. He has given substantive speeches on job creation, economic development, and a little on foreign policy. For whatever reason, the press has not covered it as much as they have his more light political speeches. If you do a little looking, you can find his plans. Now, I am not saying you are going to agree with his plans, or think they are worth a damn, and that is fine, but you should know that he does in fact have them.

I'll never forget the morning after the '94 election. Many people in my office were depressed about the Dems losing Congress. Somehow it came up in conversation, and I merely said I thought it was overall a good thing. It touched off some major debates, and you can guess who won most of them.

Today many of those same folks would be quick to give Clinton credit for the economy, balancing the budget, and welfare reform. At the time, they were very critical of all programs Republican, including, yes, balancing the budget and welfare reform. I think Michael Savage is onto something when he says "Liberalism is a mental disorder."

and yes, I'm in favor of fighting against Insurance companies, Pharmacuetical companies and oil companies to put a stop to their obscene profits at the expense of our citizens.  That does not make me a socialist.

What about the ambulance chasing lawyers driving up medical and drug costs?

Let's focus on a few issues you listed.

1) Pro abortion - that's a legitimate issue, and McCain will tend to nominate supreme court justices that could overturn Roe v Wade. For me, this is a very minor issue, and arguably belongs to the states to decide

2) The environment - Obama will tend to be more against drilling and nuke plants, so this will actually drive up the cost of energy.

3) The cost of oil... See 2) above

4) Outsourcing jobs. Obama supports "insourcing" jobs to illegal Mexican workers living here in the U.S.

5) Iraq, history may show that we should have gotten out of Iraq earlier. However, it's too early to tell yet. I respect cutting and running as a legitimate position.

6) Iran, we can't let those fuckers get nukes, and if they are actively killing our soldiers in Iraq, they deserve to get bombed.

That is all...

Ok, I don't know how to do the quotes within the response thing, so I will address some of these these issues using the same numbered point by point basis as you.

Point 1 - I agree with your last sentence, however, I am not quite as sure as you are that McCain wil try to appoint very conservative judges, regardless of his claims over the last couple of days. Remember, he is for abortion in cases of rape and incest.

Point 2 - Obama actually said on meet the press the other day that if we could figure out the storage issues with nuclear waste, that he would be all for nuclear power.

Point 3 - The price of oil is going to be high regardless of who is President

Point 4 - McCain, Obama, Bush and Kennedy (now that is a motley crew) all worked together on illegal immigration. Immigration should be a non-issue in this contest considering the fact that both canidates share the same view on the issue.

Point 5 - Agreed, and I will also say that right now, I don't think there are really any good options as far as Iraq goes.

Point 6 - Agree with the first part. Somewhat agree with the second part, although at this point I don't know that we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it is the actual Iranian government that is behind the killings of our soldiers.

Yep, you guessed it! :D

NLA's listing of issues just took me back to those days, where the libs would throw out a list of issues with few facts to back them up. Often times they hadn't even thought an issue through. Maybe when you hear the local media repeat something enough times, you start to think it's a fact.

Obama's statement about supporting nukes when we figure out what to do with the waste translates to "we won't be using nukes in my lifetime." We know what to do with it: put it in very expensive, crash-proof containers, and ship them to remote deserts. One desert that comes to mind is East LA, if the definition of "remote" means not close to any U.S. citizens.

See now there you go. You ask for facts, and I give you a statement he made on national tv, and you just brush it off as politispeak.

Funny thing is, I would bet that we are probably in agreement on the subject. Nuclear power should looked at as more of a viable alternative energy source in my opinion

they know how many are registered under which party and they know how many switched parties. not too difficult to calculate. i'm surprised the republicans haven't talked more about their poor voter turnout this primary season. whenever it's brought up the conversation always turns to, "well, the would-be hillary voters will cross over and vote mccain."

br

Misinformation. Nobody in Indiana, I repeat NOBODY is registered as a Democrat or a Republican. It doesn't work that way here. You are simply registered period. The only thing they have to look at is which primary you voted in, and that's it.
