Post by: Emily on June 04, 2008, 10:30:19 AM: I would like to hear what the FOT think about an Obama/Hillary ticket.

I have mixed views. On the one hand she has a lot of support, and she's really smart. On the other hand it would be sort of like weird and creepy.

I voted against it, anyway, because I always click "check unread posts" so boards are pretty much meaningless to me. By this same reasoning, I could just as easily have voted for it, of course.

Post by: iAmBaronVonTito on June 04, 2008, 10:48:50 AM: i would vote for it, but i see how messy it gets discussing mundane topics. not good. and people, in general, take politics pretty seriously.

so i say bring it to FOTchan and let us sling mud at each other there. no hard feelings.

I agree - take it to Bartertown.

I think Obama's a plant by the Mufti of Arrakis, that Hillary killed Vince Foster with her bare hands, and that McCain is a manchurian candidate ready to push the earth into a punji pit.

And I personally demand a forum in which to express these opinions!

Post by: John Junk 2.0 on June 04, 2008, 01:03:50 PM: I just voted "yay" but I don't even know why. If it becomes a bunch of arguments about how the dems should strategize and also a bunch of arguments about who's more victimized, Obama in his blackness or Hillary in her womanness, that'd be annoying, but then again I could just not read it. My personal opinion is people shouldn't worry so much about their party's strategizing and just shut up and vote already.
