  • Sarah Palin was very impressive today in NC
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

...impressive?...well, that means she obviously didn't have to answer any questions... :D
No she didn't answer alot of questions. The thing that was so impressive was the way she worked the crowd. She had probably never been to NC in her life. It is harder just walking in after getting off a plane going directly to a stage and being on and lighting up the room. Sen E Dole who has been in this arena for years was not as smooth as Sarah. Mayor Pat who is a 7 term Mayor running for Gov in his home state was not a s smooth. I guess the thing that really struck me was as she was on the walkway sighning autograghs she made eye contact with people and waved truly connecting. She then out of a monster area where the crowd had ascended she saw a special needs adult child. She then made eye contact with the mom and went straight to her and talked. Then she sighned something for the special needs person. You could tell it meant alot to him. That is pretty amazing that she could even make out a face in the crowd. I was on the same stage earlier and I just saw a sea of people and couldn't really make out a face.
lots of people can work crowds. unfortunately, for sarah, she's running for vice president of the united states of america. that's a job where you have to answer questions. she's shown that she can't.

Know who can work a crowd? Gallagher.

And I don't want him to be the vice president, either.
Did you post this in another thread? I am getting deja vu here. It is like my spidey senses are tingling. ^o)
Nope, first time I've said it.

Pennsylvania looks to be way out of reach. Even RCP has it has "solid Obama" and they are way conservative in calling states. They just moved Georgia from "solid McCain" to "leaning McCain". That is rediculous to even think about.

they're attempting to make it REALLY easy for the college vote this year. not only were people getting students registered (volunteers from both campaigns) for virtually the whole school year so far, early voting has started ON CAMPUS. students can vote early in the HPER (which makes it extremely easy). If this same style is repeated across college campuses nationwide, i could see the college/youth vote playing a factor.
God help us all if thats the case.
this would go against my constitutionalist's views, but sometimes I think it would be nice if only taxpayers chould vote. Of course poor people and college kids are going to vote for the socialist.......it's free money and free education. It is a little unfair when thinking about it.
Need a tissue?

Sorry to hear that they are letting people outside of your income bracket vote.
Regardless of how much money you make Brum, just a question here: Is it really fair for someone who doesn't pay into the system, gets to vote on how the tax money is spent? Makes a pretty interesting debate.........

I don't mind giving everyone over 18 the RIGHT to vote. I just wish those that exercised that right actually educated themselves and allowed themselves to make an educated opinion. There are tons of kids in college that I know that know what they are talking about and IMO have justified their right to vote. Hell, I'm not voting because I don't think I really am educated enough about either candidate to make a vote, and I'm sure I know more than most kids that would vote.

I just wish people that choose to vote come November would actually educate themselves. Look what has happened the past 8 years. Our voting population (on top of having horrible candidates) haven't been making the wisest decisions.

I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel.

So a kid who drops out of high school and pays taxes has the right to vote but a college student who, by attending, will most likely greatly multiply the taxes that he will pay in his lifetime by getting a degree, shouldn't be able to?

Puh-lease.

that's funny brum, but I know that you know what I mean. It is easy for non-tax payers to vote themselves more free money.

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.

it sure would be nice if everyone paid their fair share, which is all the more reason why we ABSOLUTELY MUST impliment TheFairTax.
