    In all fairness I think if there were a porno based on Obama's Mama In Sexy Pajamas it would probably be ok to post about that.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Some people think of Dolo as a lonely voice of dissent.

    In theory I agree with rock, but in practice... this is not a news outlet, it's soulstrut. 99% of people posting here and all of the moderators want Barack to be elected. I don't think there is any responsibility on the part of this messageboard to provide an unbiased platform for political discourse. However, to deny the fact that there is a double standard is pretty naive.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121There is a serious difference between "political discourse" and the kind of mentally deficient shit-throwing that Dolo engages in on the reg. Unfortunately in a country where Bill O'Reilly and his ilk rule the roost, and the political atmosphere is utterly polluted with this bizarre "all points of view have validity" attitude, there are those who'll line up to defend Dolo in the cause of "fairness".

  • LaserWolfLaserWolf Portland Oregon 11,517 Posts
    An anonymous poster sent me the link that Dolo had posted.b,121b,121I'm not sure what the fuss was about. b,121b,121Porn - good.b,121Records - good. b,121Conspiracy theories - good. b,121b,121I know everyone IDed the Nat King Cole, but what about the Stan Kenton. b,121b,121Did anyone think it was humorous that the genealogist's research took him to a porn site where he found the photos?b,121b,121I guess no one found any of it funny because the thread was deleted.

    Not really related to this thread, but i just wanted to add that while he has my support and vote, I am once again saddened by the fact that both candidates, and especially Obama, have pandered to the AARP vote. I realize, this helps him in Florida, which is a very important state, but his platform on Social Security ensures that he will likely not do shit to fix the problem.b,121b,121When the elderly vote you into office, it takes a brave politician to tell them that you are going to have to take food off their plate in order for the grandchildren to eat.b,121b,121a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/21/AR2008102102252.html" target="_blank"1http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/21/AR2008102102252.htmlb,121b,121/font1
    Quote:/font1h,121b,121There are three basic ways of reducing the costs of Social Security and Medicare: increase eligibility ages; trim benefits; and require recipients to pay more for their Medicare benefits (higher premiums, co-payments or deductibles). In his talk, Obama effectively rejected all three.b,121b,121h,121
    font class="post"1b,121b,121b,121Obama's view on this and ethanol subsidies are the 2 main areas where he and I diverge. Both make little economic sense, but make perfect political sense.

    jleee, I only just skimmed that article, but can't a lot of the social security issue be addressed by raising the cap on taxable income? I'm pretty sure I heard Obama dance around this a bit, while being sure to stick to his 250k+ pledge. b,121b,121Anyway, this shit about his moms is so f*cking foul. Banworthy for dolo, slap worthy (at least) for whoever started that shit in the first place.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121perhaps, but Obama is really throwing all his eggs in one basket with that goal. He usually is pretty pragmatic about complex issues, so I am not sure why he is so against the possibilities of increasing the age of receivership (for able bodied persons), lowering benefits (assuming it can be done without putting elderly at grave risk) or requesting more up-front costs where possible.b,121b,121I realize none of these would be preferred, especially for the elderly, but banking solely on raising taxes to fix this problem seems like a rather narrow way to get ourselves out of this mess.
