His correction is as follows: "No ma'am, [Obama's] a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues."
It should have been: "No ma'am, Nor would it matter".
He basically just told her that Obama was not an Arab, but he agreed that Arabs are bad people. He could not have embraced the racist fringe anymore than if he had donned a Hitler outfit and started goose stepping around that town hall meeting.
Lieberman might have actually been worse. He has more allegiance to Israel than the USA.
Honestly had McCain just run as McCain 2000 he would have won in 2008. That means tough on torture, not a fan of GWB and no tolerance for the nutbars that took over the GOP since.
The GOP did this all by themselves. They decided to chase the racist and far right wing votes, there are not enough of those to get the whitehouse. No conspiracy needed.
Him being a mormon, only mattered to folks who would never vote for a black president anyway.
Bullshit, if sky or any of your networks had smartend up I would be able to get their apps here in North America.
I will pay the TV tax today if you let me access iPlayer. Here that BBC? Here that Populace of the UK? You could let us foreigners pay your TV tax and have that much more funding or lower the tax on yourselves.
He lost by the time he correct the old bat that claimed obama was a muslim. Even his correct was pandering to the nutbars, the correct correction would have been "No ma'am I don't believe so, nor would that matter in the slightest".
He had lost by the time he had to correct that old lady claiming obama was a muslim. It was crystal clear then that all he had was the nutbags and racists.
Law is political. I don't think at this point the two can be separated.
I think there could be a lot of uses for this. Before that though a national ID should be considered. My preference for that would be to issue everyone passports. It would give everyone ID to vote, buy guns, etc and maybe get some folks to travel a little outside their little world.

I think it is sad, not funny.
What was once the party of Lincoln is now the party of stormfront.

She mixed them up, not I.
No, she called him an Arab.
I looked it up to double check.
I keep insisting it because it is true. One only need to remember McCain correcting that old bitty when she claimed Obama was an Arab.
I did not vote for the dems, by the way.
Which are?
Let's name some of these racists they chase after. I really can't see the Klan or the neoNazis voting for Obama.
The democrats are center right. There are no where near far left. Nor are they chasing after racists.
No, we would have the first female president instead of the first black one.
The GOP panders to racists and bigots, see the difference here? They run on hate. You can't see how that might be slightly troublesome?
Nope, my slogan is "Taxation without Representation", I think it is pretty catchy.
Now hand over the Doctor, anthor season of Sherlock, TopGear and where the heck is the next season of Luther?
Sorry I must disagree.

You mean the one that chanted "drill baby drill"?
She sold out to big oil and the Good olde boys network for her endorsement. She flip flopped and was called on it.
What is really funny is that the only GOPers that could make it to the whitehouse can't make it through the primary.
This is what the GOP gets for doubling down on the derp.
Because the leagues have a monopoly. They are specifically excluded from normal monopoly laws and as such should be limited in this and other ways.
I would rather we remove their exclusion from those laws and break them up, competition would fix this much better than regulation.
You need to give up on the conspiracies.

Hear, not here. WTF, did I just do there?

Clearly you do, else you would not have responded.
Why?
He had to ok the choice of the running mate. He failed to distance himself from GWB, nor speak ill of him in anyway.
McCain sold out and lost because of it.
This is too little too late. Forget saving these dinosaurs, I want to see them crash and burn.

In what state?
I did not have to show ID to vote. You can use other ID for most of those, but those are also government granted.
Any reason why it is not just done by scanning drivers licenses? The liquor store does that, so do many bars.
Care to elaborate?
I don't see that many enumerations that would need to be done. I think it is greatly exaggerated.
I don't think so. I think it is only that way since lawyers lack the math skills to do so.
