    I meant they would toss the expanded universe and everything else out the window. If it added one viewer they would toss out all the previous movies.

    What exactly is wrong with the midi-chlorians?

    That it ties jediness to some inherited trait?

    I mean the GOP today is the party of bigots. It needs to die and be replaced by another party.

    Each individual may not be a bigot, but that the audience the party focuses on serving.

    The comparison is Samsung's most popular single smartphone vs Apples most popular single smartphone. For last quarter that means the SGS3 outsold the 4S. Both of those are their respective companies most popular products.

    Making Anakin/Vader a whiny bitch ruined the first 3. It ruined the entire character, just as making Han shoot second ruined that character.
    Science can explain a lot and not ruin it, poor writing however can ruin any movie.

    Disney will only go further in making sure these movies have no real conflict and that the characters are all two dimensional set pieces. I expect JarJar to be back in a big way.

    You are supremely ignorant on the foundations of libertarianism. Most likely due to ignorance of anarchism.

    They are indeed fiscal conservatives and socially liberal. Their candidates however tend not to follow up on that latter one.

    Of course they are going to ignore the expanded universe. Those are what star wars fans care about, which is not what the studios want. They will dumb down any series to make sure anyone can watch it.

    First we got the abortions that were episodes 1,2 and 3 then they decided to make the worst Indiana Jones and now 3 more garbage movies.

    Why can't they find a new series to make?

    Compare their models to what was out at the time.
    They were under-specced, overpriced and late to ship.

    So far the best plan for something like this would be to buy a bunch of Nexus Phones and put your own OS on them.

    So your solution is to deprive them of due process and their lives.

    The constitution will thankfully not allow that.

    Can we kill you the next time you drive slightly tired? Or answer your cell phone while driving?

    Your solution would cause more harm than the issue it claims to solve. It is also immoral to such an extreme I cannot express it.

    Libertarianism in the US is based on a very liberal school of though that of the Anarchist Libertarians| left anarchism. The idea that capitalists have taken this mantle is unfair to real anarchists, but also fitting in that they have taken some of the tenants.

    Only if define "great things worth having" as wealth and a good deal of that coming from destruction. Like Bain capital did when it destroyed healthy companies, or turned smaller ventures into walking corpses of debt and sold them on the stock market.

    Greed is killing our healthcare industry. Capitalism was unchained and nearly killed our banking system.

    You can say the same thing about McCain. Had he run in 2008 as the McCain of years past he would have easily won. The republican primiaries and the GOP itself prevent that. The primaries demand fringe rightwing talk and the GOP will saddle any moderate with a fringe right wing VP.

    I wonder if they will continue giving away elections like this.

    The racial biases of the parties flopped 50 years ago. Read about the southern strategy.

    Republicans who oppose gay marriage are depriving people of a civil right. Nothing makes that right.

    Republicans who oppose abortion also want to limit womens rights. Nothing makes that right.

    Republicans claim to be about freedom, then focus on limiting it.

    Yes, several slashdotters did. Who are normal folks, compare to the repubicans that have had both their politicians and media personalities make those sort of claims.

    Do you see the enourmous difference?
    Republicans want to limit the rights of homosexuals, how is that just a different view of government? Was apartheid just a different view of government?

    You were a republican, that party does not want you or barry goldwater or the sane version of McCain anymore. You need a new party.

    If your are counting on more conservative you are guaranteed to lose. Romney shift to the center after the primaries is the only thing that gave him a chance. You desire for a fringe rightwing candidate is about as likely as my desire for the Greens to win.

    Mr.Jindal might have a chance if no volcanoes get in the way.

    Laughing at the rage of bigots and hate mongers is good for the country. That is healing the wounds they created. We cannot work towards unity with those who do not want it. They hate us, they curse us to their imagined hell and pray that their gods strike us down.

    I am no democrat, did not vote for Obama, but I sure am glad to see this country moving away from hate.

    So the "War on Women" is not part of this?
    Care to remember all the Republican Rape statements made this election? Or their voice on the radio calling people sluts?

    Or the way they court the far christian and nationalist fringe?

    Only a 10 point difference? That is a fucking landslide compared to the average. What do you think the point difference was for others not in the old white fundie demograpic?
