What this means is that the Bloc party which has mandated that Quebec be given special status in the constitution and in the past, voted to seperate from Canada could put their elected officials in cabinet positions which would heavily favour Quebec's interests. Most folks from Quebec aren't interested in seperating anymore so the Bloc needs to keep themselves relevant. This means using tax dollars to pay for special projects directed solely to Quebec.

The Liberals have, in the past, ushered into policy oil and gax taxation policies that have devasted oil rich provinces like Alberta.

Well, let me start off with this. I think John McCain is a very good man. He's really intelligent and his concession speech was very gracious and honorable. My step-grandfather served under his father in the navy. He's met John McCain himself a few times and really respects him.

I do wonder what might have happened if McCain had chosen a more moderate Republican like himself. It was said he picked Palin to bring in the conservative vote, but I think he lost more than he gained by doing that, including everyone in my office and most democrats I know who thought he was a reasonable guy and good candidate. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (livinks35) http://antilocal-83.com/sreply/71410 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 10:45:47 PST http://antilocal-83.com/reply/71409/t/Intelligent-Political-Debate.html#reply-71409

I also am not a HUGE Obama fan. I like him, I think he has the ability to do great things for the country, but I am not 100% confident that he is actually will. I am hoping, and I will support him along the way, but I will absolutely bitch and complain as much as I have been the past eight years if he fucks up. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (mklovesdanger) http://antilocal-83.com/sreply/71408 Fri, 07 Nov 2008 00:39:22 PST http://antilocal-83.com/reply/71398/t/Intelligent-Political-Debate.html#reply-71398 feeds@kickapps.com (alibubbalicious) http://antilocal-83.com/sreply/71398 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:20:03 PST http://antilocal-83.com/reply/71395/t/Intelligent-Political-Debate.html#reply-71395 feeds@kickapps.com (laney895) http://antilocal-83.com/sreply/71395 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 23:11:28 PST http://antilocal-83.com/reply/71342/t/Intelligent-Political-Debate.html#reply-71342
And, agree totally with you, Allie. People need inspiration and hope right now. I think it's astounding how he was able to get so many people involved in what was happening and want to get out and vote, and campaign. Obama is a very smart man and he likely knows what his limitations are and will put people around him who have the knowledge he doesn't. He picked the perfect VP in Joe Biden, someone who had what he didn't have, years in Washington and experience with foreign affairs.

We also can't just say, "ok Obama, we've elected you, now go and fix it."... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (livinks35) http://antilocal-83.com/sreply/71342 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 11:31:33 PST http://antilocal-83.com/reply/71330/t/Intelligent-Political-Debate.html#reply-71330

i don't think it's fair to compare the responses to the respective elections of george w. bush (or, at least his re-election) and that of barack obama on the same level. though i agree that many people on the left were absurdly critical of bush, causing the valid concerns of many to lost with the abyss of "he looks like a monkey"-type commentaries, i do think that americans have every right to be unhappy with him as a president. he not only made many mistakes, but he not once did he try to fix these mistakes that were so clear to everyone else, including members of his own party. there's a reason he wasn't on the campaign trail. it was valid for liberals to be in an uproar when he was re-elected (i will not say the same thing for his election the first time--everyone deserves a chance.)

Iowa voted to eliminate wording that referred to anyone identified as an "idiot or insane person" as prohibited from voting. The measure would change the language to read "a person adjudged mentally incompetent to vote." That was our excitement. Seriously, I want to know who voted against it.

Ok, so by now I'm sure most of us have at least chosen the candidate we're pulling for to win the primaries for each respective party. You may even think you know who you're planning to vote for in the election in 2008. I'm curious to see whether who you think your pick is matches up to who the candidate calculators tell you your pick should be.

I took both of these quizzes and was slightly surprised to find that who I think I want to vote for did not come out as my top choice in either. Post your results from the quiz (if you're comfortable doing so) and let us know whether that matches up with who you're backing.
