Cha-Chiinngggg
Hit generator!

Tech types must be smarter, forward looking and not too mired in the past.

The 60's are OVER, Hillary.
The 40's and 50's are REALLY OVER McCain!

great news!

we need a muslem president to put the country on the right path.

also, barack needs to apply the economic theory of juche.

allahu akbar (god is great)

It's pretty obvious which computer company Obama's web designer prefers.

What an Abomination! (Obamanation?)

Let the out of place political discussion commence.

Apr 14, 08 - 09:38 am Comment from: Cubert

Oh, boy. This thread is going south real quick!

Get your non-political posts in while you can.

Baba-booie, baba-booie, baba-booie!

There. I got mine in.

Didn't Billy Boy do a sleepover at Stevie's house
back when they visited Chelsea at Stanford awhile back??
Everybody bring your sleeping bags, but watch out for Billy in the middle of the night.

shouldn't it at least be: "Apple and other tech firms employees’..." though it still sounds awkward.

all you native speakers, am i wrong?

or better: "Apple's and other tech firms' employees'..."

B.Clinton: "Wanna swap wives, Steve?"

S.Jobs: "I don't do that kind of thing, Bill."

B.Clinton: "....Got anything you wanna swap?"

Trouble is that most of the tech companies are Left Coasters anyway. And it's not surprising they like Ron Paul, since he at least has logic behind his positions and looks like he might actually do what he says, instead of saying what ever he thinks would get him elected, then doing what ever he damn well pleases after he's in office (the current regimes publicly stated approach).

The question is whether the conservative south will vote actual Christian values or the phony "values issues" that has gotten them all sweaty in the past. (i.e. Nobody favors abortion. The debate is over who gets to make the choice, the individual or the religious right, using the government as their enforcer. The conservatives just want the government to make a woman's decision for her. How odd is that. They want small government, except when it forces people to follow their beliefs )

ralph from berlin,
Proper English would be, "Apple and other tech firms' employees."

Possessive for the firms, although they don't really own the employees. Well, except maybe Apple.

Oh, while we are at it, it should also be "Berlin".

And in the competition for the first ignorant, illiterate comment to be appended to this article, we have a winner...

SUDESHAN!

Watch below for more.

Wow, what a surprise. I figured they still be pullin' for Kucinich...

Just goes to show that some tech firm employees are idiots! Keep the politics off this board please! Obama Bin Ladin's face is making me nauseas!

lurker: The question is whether the conservative south will vote actual Christian values or the phony "values issues" that has gotten them all sweaty in the past.

... how about they vote neither and instead rely on modes of justification which they share with their fellow citizens.

Is it unreasonable to think that religion is a private matter (about your soul) and law is a public matter (about what people should be free to do), and that the former should not be used to decide questions about the latter?

Oh good grief.
I'm predicting this will go to 3 pages of blinkered, ignorant commentary.
Blah blah Clinton blah blah taxes blah blah moon landing was a hoax blah blah republican oil blah blah paper shredding queen blah blah blah blah on and on and on.

Socialism here we come!!

Bakla Obama, Hitlerey Clinton.
Some choice!

Mac Addict had pictures of Bush using a 20" G4 iMac in the Oval Office, so any attempt to say one party or the other is better because of what computer they use is moot.

It's already too late for the USA. We've been invaded and nobody cares. I give up. I'm glad I'm on my way out, rather than on my way in.

If you want to get rich---be a politician. Ask Slick Willy and the rest of them, repubs and dems alike.

Apple, other tech firm employees’ contributions favor Democrats over Republicans, Obama over Clinton

I would have written it as:

The political contributions made by employees of Apple and other tech firms favor Democrats over Republicans, Obama over Clinton.

Apr 14, 08 - 10:33 am Comment from: AAPLguy

In other news, employees from tech industry companies are pretty much split in the "tastes great" - "less filling" debate.

If we can survive the Republicans, we can survive the Democrats.

ralph from berlin,


Proper American would be, "Apple and dem udder guys."

@Hard Nard

But was the computer on???

@ sudershan

What's a "muslem"?

Can MacDailyNews please stay away from politics. I get enough of this crap on the TV already. Sheesh.

I'm not an American, but all I can say - I really hope that the next U.S. president is NO OTHER than Barack Obama.

sudershan we need a muslem president to put the country on the right path.

Maybe. Too bad for you that only three christians are running this time.

@cubert

but where is the possessive for apple? their employess are also meant, aren't they?

and as for berlin, we're going low and slow here in germany

Where do they get these statistics???

I work at one of those Co.s and no one asked me who I gave $$$ to.

Boo hoo!

"What's a 'muslem'?"

It's a breakfast dish made of uncooked rolled oats and fruit that you must eat five times a day.

"Too bad for you that only three christians are running this time."

Too bad for all us us. :(

Apr 14, 08 - 12:05 pm Comment from: ChrissyOne

'of' us.

Hey, speaking of, the Pope is coming today, trying to find someone that still likes him. It's getting hard to get little boys to join the church these days.

@ Ampar

And you have to bend over and put your face right in the bowl.

Apr 14, 08 - 12:15 pm Comment from: Buster

@Ampar...you are using the singluar. Muselix is plural, like one ass two astericks (also know as two Gauls)

I always vote for the Pinko-Gay candidates.

Apr 14, 08 - 12:20 pm Comment from: ChrissyOne

I'll bet they know a few asstricks.

Apr 14, 08 - 12:27 pm Comment from: Macromancer

I second what Lurker said.

ChrissyOne, I bet you know quite a few ass tricks too!

Counting down to the demands from the likes of David Horowitz and Brent Bozell that Apple and Google hire more conservatives!

Apr 14, 08 - 12:49 pm Comment from: ChrissyOne

You can't teach an old ass new tricks, but you can overload your donkey.

@ Buster

Why you gotta be hatin' on Buster, dude? Do Canadians frighten you that much?

Apr 14, 08 - 12:58 pm Comment from: ChrissyOne

That was directed at FAKE Buster, BTW.

How many people use the name?

@ Buster:

really "cool" names brings on many clones

I'm one of those bitter people of which Obama speaks, I like guns and I hate illegal immigrants. In particular, I dislike Muslim politicians like Obama and his racist preacher/advisor that despise everything Whitey has accomplished.

Not surprising that Steve Jobs is a democrat, left-winger. After all, he is from Syria, and is probably a closet Muslim like Obama.

@Bitter Man

You're joking, right?

Apr 14, 08 - 01:29 pm Comment from: ChrissyOne

No, he's just stupid.

Apr 14, 08 - 01:30 pm Comment from: makemineamac

Bitter Man, I too seriously hope you are joking. If not, might I suggest you take the available handle:

Bitter Ignorant Man

Whitey has accomplIshed a lot. You've certainly got that right.

Let's see....
