I was also 18 years old thanks.

I'm getting tired of you accusing me of being a bandwagoner tex, i've been an obama supporter since september at least (when hillary was still considered the presumptive nominee). And of course this is more important than 2004. We have a MUCH BETTER CHANCE of winning this election obviously, the republicans are divided this year we can make inroads and hold the senate AND the presidency, that is huge.

John Kerry is also more similar to Hillary Clinton than Barack Obama (He voted for the war just like she did).

I am of the opinion that Obama is the most important candidate we've had come around in fifty years at least. I'm extremely interested in the Obama campaign, and it's not like I haven't made....... avatars.... about other things I was extremely interested in.

don't try to argue about it, Steel Paladine knows why you support Obama.


by the way at the time I wanted to vote for Bush too, but I was only 17 so I couldn't

crushed by a CaRRot CuSine you're like the worst human being ?

hafgsffff do you hear yourselves.

the past like twenty IMs Truth has sent me are ALL ABOUT THE ELECTION. here is a wonderful one I got the morning of Super Tuesday:

(14:55:20) DLF: YES WE CAN
(14:55:39) liquor: what
(14:55:46) DLF: YES WE CAN
(14:55:48) DLF: YES WE CAN
(14:55:56) DLF: I HAVE THE SUPER TUESDAY DISEASE

he's also had like a billion away messages exactly like this:

(15:55:27) DLF <AUTO-REPLY>: We've been asked to pause for a reality check, we've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
-Barack Obama

which is also in his sig!

let's not forget this:



Render, just, please, do not reply to me again. passive aggressive is not shit I do and this is just getting pathetic on your part because you keep following me around saying OH YOU KNOW EVERYTHING and it's just sad, don't care, if I could put you on ignore I would, etc,  thanks for listening!

but Truth here is something you do not understand; it is not apathy to not fucking jerk off over everything Obama says. I support the guy. I might even campaign for him.

you aren't a bandwagoner because you wholeheartedly support Obama (I have supported Barack Obama since 2004, a friend was supporting his Senate bid and I got interested in him), you're a bandwagoner because you are completely fucking RABID about Barack Obama. phrases like "YES WE CAN" and "CHANGE" don't mean much to most of us, because we aren't swayed by fucking propoganda phrases. and yet you are sending them to me like I am supposed to...what? unite under the cause? I support Obama already. I don't think he's a magical socialist fairy flying down to fix everything, I think he's a very good Democrat and the real difference is the fact he doesn't have a history of acquiescing to others.

this painting of Obama as some magical liberal is kind of wack, and you getting mad because you are blatantly an OBAMAMANIAC and I called you such is pretty funny.

I HOPE that the truth keeps saying YES WE CAN during 4 more years if OPbama wins the election. It would be tedious but amusing nonetheless, and it would trully become an Obamamaniac sharing good times with all his family and friends

hey guys watch out about getting too interested in the most important election of our lifetimes.

you might be accused..... of obama dick jacking.
well dawg it's clear you're like rabidly obsessed with obama and i don't even know why you're making an argument that you're not?  your last two or three avatars have been of barack obama, your member title is about barack obama, you have a fucking BARACK OBAMA QUOTE in your signiture, and apparently you just like message steel on aim saying "YES WE CAN."  i don't quite understand how this can make you anything but a crazy obama supporter.  this doesn't mean that i'd call you a bandwagoner, because i'm not sure i agree with him about that, nor does it mean that obama's a bad candidate, because he's clearly not; it just means that you're an ALARMINGLY RABID SUPPORTER of him and it's a little weird!

to put it in perspective you are like the kezay of barack obama.

also like the other two previously said, whether this election is the most important one in our lifetimes is pretty debatable.  an ethnic/female president is significant, but going beyond that, the first term of ANY of the democratic candidates would consist primarily of damage control.  how is reversing harm done by the previous administration the most important event of our lifetime?  i'd be inclined to agree that the prevention of the damage being done to begin with was more significant (gj supporting the forces of evil douglas..... no amount of votes cast for blackmen can redeem you now).  maybe if this election was coming on the heels of anything but the current administration, and maybe if anyone was introducing really crazy new ideas, i think it'd be more significant.  but as it is, none of the candidates could really be called RADICALS, and really, the gender/race thing would mean a lot more if it was happening for reasons that had more to do with a shift in society's perception and less to do with everyone wanting a change so desperately that even the notion of a female/black president isn't immediately dismissed anymore.  so yeah, i think you're probably exaggerating the importance of this event compared to other ones in the past, and you're DEFINITELY a little obsessed with obama.  i mean, getting really into some random shit is the TRUTH WE KNOW AND LOVE so i'm not especially surprised to see you calling this the DAWN OF A NEW AGE or something when it's not, or popping a boner over obama, but you have to admit that IN ESSENCE it is more of a shift in the opinions you hold than your actual personality from 2004 to now, and also that it sort of makes you look like a paulsie, except one that supports a good candidate instead of an awful one, so i guess that'd be an intelligent paulsie capable of understanding reason, but an incredibly obsessed one nonetheless!

thanks for your contribution, be sure to vote for obama or mccain then asshole

as in vote

I cant believe like just 10% of the population actively participate by voting.
I like the idea of voting not being an obligation as it is over here in argentina, but jesus christ 10% is really awful

edit: I didnt read it was 10%, just heard from someone else, but it is so impressively low I am hoping I am malinformed, J.C.

This is aggressive aggressive, what part of YOU ARE A FAGGOT sounds watered down to you


please, tell me right here why you think you have an amazing ability to psychoanalyze people and understand their TRUE MOTIVES so incredibly well that nothing they say to the contrary can make you believe otherwise. you do this shit all the time man

truth's strong support of obama is startling as hell, but what you posted was fucking ridiculous so whatever congrats on your huge success.

"steel i'm sick of you always thinkin you know everything.... even though in this case i actually agree with you and just decided to pick a fight anyway"

thanks render that's a worthy cause you got yourself there.  by the way i think the best part about your post is that in yelling at steel for acting like he always knows what everyone is doing and why, you're really just reinforcing the fact that he was more or less on the mark about you, at the very least.  he has always been like this, so it's kind of odd to me that you would suddenly decide to start taking issue with it as soon as he said something about you.  it's almost as if you... you never even gave a shit before then and just got really defensive when he implied you might have been influenced by him in some capacity (i'm render version 1.0 baby aint nobody in da world like me).  the whole thing VERYTRANSPARENT and honestly the irony of you proving that he was right by following him around everywhere telling him he is wrong (even when you actually think he is right) is just too good.

damnit steel... y... you're not right about everything... except this.... and except about me.... and except about that other thing i agreed with you on.  quit actin like you know everything.... cause you don't (except all those times where you do)

what are you talking about? I said truth's support of obama is startling BUT THEN I said steel's post was dumb shit? or did you miss this part of his post

so yeah don't accuse Truth of maybe riding bandwagons and not having the most political sense because then he'll accuse you of being...a...apathetic...

but yeah Bazookatooth the Great Mediator of Arguments you got me :(

edit: also it's fucking gross how the image you have of me is the strawman steel set up dude. also apparently it's ok for you to call him out when he's a faggot but if I do it it's not cool with you?

It was question on my exam last semester and I'm pretty sure that 60% of the voting eligible voted in the last presidential election was the answer.

Edit: oh and I get to see Obama speak tomorrow which is rad I suppose.

sorry what????  why are you saying truth's behavior is alarming, but then saying steel's post, where he called truth's behavior alarming and then called you pathetic, is dumb shit?  you don't get to agree with a post/not be able to explain what's wrong with it, and then call it fucking ridiculous, sorry!  or maybe you can explain how, despite the fact that truth is clearly obsessed and CAUGHT UP in obamamania, and despite the fact that you are clearly such a petty motherfucker that even when you basically agree with him you will come in and pick a fight (ps i like how you ignored the fact that this suddenly started up out of nowhere even though steel has a long history of acting exactly like this, always), what he posted was way way way way off the mark.

this is still true, just because he hitched his bandwagon to obama early doesn't mean he's developed political sense, it just means he hitched on early and wholesale swallows this change shit and while Obama is a good candidate he is, as Panda put it, OBAMA'S KEZAY.

yeah look at my edit

also this'll be my last post (PMs??) because derail this is annoying as hell, but is it really that hard to understand what I'm saying. saying it's startling means just that, it doesn't include a deep psychoanalytic steel analysis of WHY he supports obama, which is my whole beef

I really don't know as much about the candidates as I should. Of course, it doesn't matter, since I live in the Netherlands. The one I've read most about is Barack Obama, and he seems a very acceptable candidate.

People are saying it would really be something if Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton were to become the next president, since there haven't ever been black or female presidents before, but I personally am waiting more eagerly for the first atheist president.
Sorry, I know that this is an old post. Anyhow, this made me think, wasn't Abraham Lincoln an atheist?

No but thanks for adding another off topic post!

I'm pretty uninformed myself about the republican candidates, or rather was. I've always known a bit about McCain but I was never impressed by or cared enough about them to look the rest up.
