Are you saying that a spambot's thread with only one post has as much life as this megathread that shows so much more sentience?

Hey, don't threads themselves for the actions of their authors.

[Strife26]

When does it actually become a thread? In the authors head, while it's being written, or only when the "post thread" button is pressed?

I'd put it at the becoming of writing. Not sure where taking an outline of what one wanted in the first post would be.

All threads have a right to post, even the locked ones.

Apparently, Texas law does not allow international observers to observe their elections. And that may be in violation of federal law if our membership on the OSCE is based on a ratified treaty (I have no idea if it is or not).

Conservative groups are stepping up efforts at voter intimidation in key battleground states.

That's some scary shit. How have you not had a rash of arrests for all this voter suppression bullshit?

Because the Republicans are better at it.

Colin Powell endorses Obama.  o_o  Is Colin Powell a moderate or something?  It seems odd for a Republican to endorse a liberal president without some other reason besides being genuinely concerned that the Republican candidate is nuttier than a fruit cake.

[Karlito]

Wikipedia says he also endorsed Obama in 2008.

So not even black republicans will vote for romney? I guess he really does have 0% of the black vote.

Maybe Herman Cain (Hahahaaa! Baller Friday!) will still vote for Romney.

I think Colin Powell's endorsement is a good indicator that there are still some Republicans who can see beyond their party lines... and some Democrats, like that black woman from Massachusetts who did a big pro-Romney plug at the RNC.

[Strife26]

Yep, Colin Powell's pretty much always been that sort of guy. I mean, you can tell he's a good guy by the sheer perfect storm of candidates he'd be, yet he doesn't want to run. I spose if stuff got bad enough, he'd be a pretty good candidate for a Republican realignment.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone:

If you don't live in a swing state, you accomplish far more by voting for a third party candidate than by voting for Obama or Romney. For once, let the electoral college work in your favour, and help a third party candidate inch a wee bit closer to the point where someone might bother talking about them.

By voting for Romney or Obama, you're essentially just throwing away your vote!
