Sarah Palin needs to go far away

[Boris Godunov]

If you are bringing up the PUMAs, than you have to also bring up the conservatives who did not want to vote for McCain.

I already did when I said that Palin did get base support for McCain, you ******.

Real accurate poll there. 10 point gap for Obama.

And once again we see you're so mind-numbingly stupid that you can't tell the difference between a polling aggregate and a single poll. ****ing hell.

Reagan, now there's a landslide.

I guess now would be a good time to remind you that Reagan's popular vote % in 1980 was only 50.7%, while Obama's was 52.9% (the largest for a non-incumbent party candidate since Eisenhower in 1952).

[Boris Godunov]

How stupid was it to put in a dude that would leave the country in dept for the next 100 years?

Yes, it was incredibly stupid for people to vote for Bush. Glad we agree.

But, but, but.

Popular vote doesn't matter. All that matters is the electoral college...

[Ben Kenobi]

Ben, you are forbidden to use "we" in reference to U.S. politics until you move here and naturalize.

"We" referring to Bush-supporters. Did you miss the crap that got flung at us every single thread about how Gore 'really won the election'? Please.

[Boris Godunov]

Sort of like Bush's landslide in '00?

No, not in anyway like Bush's electoral college showing, considering he eked out a 271-266 win. Can you not tell the difference between a 3% margin and a 68% margin?

Popular votes do matter, and the 'Obamaslide' was 6 percent. Big whoop.

Holy ****, you can't even do math.

52.9%-45.7% = 7.2%. Not 6.

But, but, but.

Not an argument I ever made.

[Ben Kenobi]

BTW, I didn't specify Reagan in '80. You seem to have assumed I referred to that election in particular.

Do you anticipate a true Reaganesque 'Obamaslide' in '12?

[Asher]

How stupid was it to put in a dude that would leave the country in dept for the next 100 years?

George W Bush? I'd never vote for him.

[Dinner]

I would like to start a petition to send Ben back to Canada. He should be their problem.

[Ben Kenobi]

Yeah, these public services are so awesome here.

[Elok]

Not an argument I ever made.

Wow, you gave him the benefit of the doubt, assuming he was being sarcastic/mocking your view. I just figured he was completely reversing his position within twelve or so posts, which would be outrageous but probably not unprecedented.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Please, Ben does that like 15 times in a debate. He's like the "1984" of Apolyton (we've always been at war with East Asia!).

[Ben Kenobi]

Wow, you gave him the benefit of the doubt, assuming he was being sarcastic/mocking your view. I just figured he was completely reversing his position within twelve or so posts, which would be outrageous but probably not unprecedented.

He was right, I was being sarcastic. Why do folks make me out to be dour? I'm not. Boris at least gets it.

I'm also not really taking this argument all that seriously. People here seem to be treating it like the ten commandments. Etched on stone for all time. I guess it fits the meme that "Ben is just an idiot". I'm only too happy to play around. Do you think I sincerely *care* about what Poly thinks of me? I have fun being the ogre on here.

[a.kitman]
