2008 USP(G)ET pt. II: counting the days to 2012 primary thread 1

Can you point to a political party labelled conservative which is fundamentally different in tenet, ideology or gut instinct from 'US right-wingers' ? I'm having a hard time working out who these lovely fluffy conservatives are. Unless you're confusing 'conservative' with 'moderate', or 'centrist'?

Uh?

I believe most European "conservative" parties are very "different in tenet, ideology or gut instinct from 'US right-wingers'". About in the same place as US Democrats I guess, so probably you'd call them "centrist" or even "leftist"...?

err, parents'

cuuuuuuuuuuuuute dog

Bookmarks, yeah, except when you want to find something from a few weeks ago. Which is kinda lame, but comes up more often than you'd think!

wtf why is dominos.com asking me if I'm a Democrat or a Republican? Will the wrong answer get me a spunk pizza?

Why are you ordering Dominos?

It is my God-given right as an American to be fucking lazy and order a sub-par pizza from a place I know takes cards.

Fair enough.

I worked there for five years and can't even smell Dominos anymore without turning my stomach.

fox sports saying the crowd reaction was mixed but that things "went well" for palin at the Flyers game

bloggers saying she got mad booed

Video plz.

Oh wait, found it:

sounds more like they're playing the new Hair Police album at her

I couldn't pick up boos (the sound is fried), but I saw the Obama/Biden signs behind her.

it sounds like they were playing music very very loud to drown out boos but you can def. hear cheers when she drops the puck

We'll probably have to wait for on-site videoclips.

yes, i'm confident the audio will be much more clear on those

use bookmarks u wusses

I do, and that's the problem...if you want to find a post that was from only minutes before your last bookmark you have to open the thread completely.

A bit clearer:

that doesn't sound like a very friendly crowd to me.

I could definitely hear the boos that time.

You can kind of tell from the pitch that they're booing.

lol they are playing music so loud

this is exactly the reason btw that I have a hard time believing she will be on SNL; she will definitely get booed and I can't imagine that her handlers would put her in such an awkward position.

SNL's off this week, right? No telling how much worse it would be for her in a week's time.

whether it's toughness or just monomaniacal fixation is a matter of opinion, i guess, but omg, who can walk out into a crescendo of booing hostility and not acknowledge it at all? rigid smile, cute little wave, back straight... pageant people are ruthless, i hear.

for a second i tried to imagine the scene if barack obama dropped the green flag at talladega, but then, that would be a really stupid thing to do, wouldn't it?

what were they thinking? why send her to philadelphia at all?

Because it is in Pennsylvania.

not the pennsylvania they're going to get!

although tv yeah yeah of course.

there is no pennsylvania theyre going to get

She would probably have had better luck at a Penguins game.

this thread crashed my iphone!

regarding the flyerz: don't forget that stadiums can crank in cheering noise /tinfoilhat

"The only way John is going to salvage the election at this point is if he does something drastic: if I were him I'd pledge that I was only going to serve one term, that I would put all my focus on fixing the economy and not worry about making hard decisions for the sake of reelection. Americans might see right through it as another hail mary, but I think it's the only shot he's got left."

you can't vote me out of office, i quit!
