THIS ongoing saga is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.

Hillary is cold lifeless demon bitch.

Obama is a muslim that will be pounded in the dirt by the Republican nominee. Not electable.

What are the democraps to do?

What an idiotic question. I reckon this one's fer you, Ampar. And you LorD1776.

Clintons have iPod´s that is for sure.

I don't have dog on this race, but just like the Super Bowl, it will be fun to watch...

Does that make my Ron Paul a TRS-80?

They're both commies!

I agree with adfkb, what a stupid question.

so Bush is what, an OLPC?

I think neither deserve the moniker of "Mac". I think hillary is a Packard-Bell and Barack Hussein Obama is an Alienware Game system. One looks looks old and dated, one looks flashy, but underneath they are essentially the same yhing.

"so Bush is what, an OLPC?"

I see him more like a calculator. Reliable and accuarate on the things you expect, but you ain't going to use it to write a novel or surf the net.

o geesh not this crap again!

PowerPhone spoiler: Giants won.

Bush is a cheap calculator with dead batteries.

Freshness: Obama = Mac OS, Clinton = Windows

Experience: Obama = Vista, Clinton = Unix

Consistency on Iraq: Obama = Consistent user interface guidelines, Clinton = brushed metal

Substance: Obama = Facebook, Clinton = LinkedIn

Integrity: Obama = Open source, Clinton = DRM

Electoral College: Mondale = Mac OS, Reagan = Windows

Ahh, I love the smell of political cynicism and wimpering conservatives in the morning.

Smells like . . . victory.

The election is already over. The idealistic (totally unrealistic) Dems have shot themselves in the foot yet again. It'll be a black guy named Barack Hussein Osama (Obama, whatever) or a shrill woman nightmare (with tremendous baggage, not to mention tremendous saddlebags) for the Dems in 2008.

Get used to this, people:

President John McCain.

It never ceases to amaze me that no mater how bad the Republican Candidate, the Democrats always run a candidate that can't win the general election (except perhaps Gore). No one who is subject to PMS should ever control nuclear weapons. That puts one candidate down. The second candidate is a first term Senator with no executive experience. There are enough red necks in this country that realistically, the chances of either to be president in our lifetimes are non existent. McCain was the Amnesty man, Romeny is trying to buy the Whitehouse and that leaves Huckabee, a middle class moderate.... Hum....

"Obama is a muslim that will be pounded in the dirt by the Republican nominee. Not electable."

Barack Obama has been a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for 20 years. Here's a link to Snopes.com, which debunks that lie.

Really Bill Clinton, there is no excuse for such a stupid statement when something like that is easily checked out.

I think this is a great way to analyze our future politicos....Shit, with all the hyperspeech about what each candidate will do for our future, it is about as good a measure as any. Hell, I will take it over the last debate.

@GOP Operative

What an appropriate handle. See my previous post: Barack Obama has been a member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago for 20 years.

BTW, CNN reports today that Obama's poll numbers have surged so he's now essentially tied with Hillary Clinton. So much for "unelectable."

So if Billary is Windows, more people use Windows, right?

Well, using something and choosing something are two very different things...

wooohooo!!1

political debate on macdailynews!

now where are those rethuglicans hiding!?

cmon out from behind your pathetically insecure/false screennames!

Obama and Clinton are both Windows Vista - lots of flash and hot air, but nothing really there. And once you get either of them you will realize how much it is really going to cost you (i.e. higher taxes).

romney is a windows me crapbox, and mccain is an amiga... ancient as hell.

My dad can beat up your dad.

@timbo,

not if he were a republican president. he would have to call up the reserves first and then keep them on tour for 15 months at a time with a stoploss order...

As this Country ran fine for nearly 200 years without an income tax, until 1913....

Watch this video to see how the Federal Reserve has ruined the US.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojwlDFSdy8I&feature=related

Any one that plans to destroy the IRS and income taxes and restore all our rights that the Patriot Acts took away....definitely has my vote.

Ron Paul is the true candidate for the People and putting their money back in their pocket! Give him a vote to show washington we are care about:

1) the $9 Trillion dollar national Debt the US owes to Foreigners
2) the unfunded liabilities totaling $60 Trillion coming due soon
3) the Federal Reserve Printing Money out of thin Air (very inflationary)
4) The US is now the bankrupt and the Most in Debt Country in the Histrory of the World?

Please ask your candidates what they are going to do about this crisis?

If this debt was called in today, the US would totally collapse. I don't hear Obama, Clinton, Huckabee, or Romney talk about this very much at all. They will continue to borrow from the Chinese and put this country further in debt.

While the chinese continues to build a massive Military from all the money they are making on imports Americans buy from China. Funding the Chinese Military is a serious mistake, especially when the US owes the most money to them!

I don't care if the candidate is liberal, or conservative...right now this country needs to act financially responsible and needs someone in office that will focus on these issues otherwise the US is ending just like the Roman Empire...in total bankruptcy!

I love how the Democratic candidates bring out the racism and misogyny in idiot conservatives. Keep it up.

Feb 04, 08 - 10:15 am Comment from: Timbo

drbryers,

I wasn't talking to you.
In fact, I was ignoring you altogether.

you can't ignore me.

Obama is like Windows Vista promising the "Wow!" but he won't really deliver. Hillary Clinton is an Apple Mac. She just works.

ENOUGH WITH THE STUPID METAPHORS!!

Especially political ones at that.

Macs may skew liberal, but don't encourage the perception. It just adds fuel in some quarters to longstanding Mac marginalization.

Macs could become the "Freedom Fries" of computing. Boycott!!!

Whatever someone's political beliefs, Macs just work better. Well at least as long as your iTunes Library file never becomes corrupted.

Kill the dumb metaphors!

That said, FYI, my *ss is the iPhone of *sses!

Stupid Story.

Obama = Mac OS X
Hillary = Mac OS 9
McCain = DOS
Romney = Vista
Huckabee = Stone Axe

jesus christ. i knew this would bring out the knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers. "obama is a muslim?" really? is that the best you've got?

You let junk through and you edit my post? How ironic, considering you began this thread in the first place by opening up the floor for political debate. I see you let all kinds of cracks about "demon bitch" and "muslim" go on, but I send something serious with a link to a youtube video and you put on the kibosh? You suck.

Here's the video.

The previous was intended for MDN. All apologies to others.

Now back to our regularly scheduled rants already in progress...

You demoterrorcrats are praying you can get Obama Hussein in office to appease all the terrorists. Hillary?? JOKE! Republicans will win this one. Hands down. drbyers = dirt bag

Feb 04, 08 - 11:11 am Comment from: Lilochris

I feel the best way to title this forum is ( Are the Democrats Apple Macs (AND) are the Republican the Windows PC's?).

Hilary has said many times she uses an iPods Video. AL Gore is uses PowerBooks/Mac Pro's, Uses iWork for his Keynote presentations, and he's on board with Apple.


Dell Supports the republican as they are a republican state. Monopolizing the PC Industry with it's PC's along with Microsoft & it's Windows operating system. Like the Republicans he go to other countries to start wars for no reasons & making a business out of the oil so we pay the high price. Just creating chaos which is what windows vista is.


President bush uses an iPod but he could even say iPod shuffle right. It sounded as though he was making fun of it. Search the video on Youtube and you'll see.

Obama is extremely inexperienced.

We have been through this already....cripes even the jokes are recycled and boring.
Slow news week?

Liberalism is a very bad sickness.

And please you buttholes, stop with the stupid comments lick Mary just cranked out. It makes you look incredible stupid and naive.

Feb 04, 08 - 11:19 am Comment from: Buster

hahahaahaaaaaaahhhhh....... lick Mary....Freudian slip

psssst...Mary....Freud ....look it up. He didn't star in American Idol.

I visited Clintons site and it looked excatly like last year's gmc.com or dodge.com. Not really appealing and not quite new

Ram+Cummins for president!

The election is already over. The idealistic (totally unrealistic) Dems have shot themselves in the foot yet again. It'll be a black guy named Barack Hussein Osama (Obama, whatever) or a shrill woman nightmare (with tremendous baggage, not to mention tremendous saddlebags) for the Dems in 2008.

Get used to this, people:

President John McCain.

Shogun. I did check out the video...and...Yes We Can!!

@Lenn

It's awesome, isn't it? I torrented the mp3 file and have it starred in my iTunes.

Even if you don't dig Obama the speech is amazing and what will.i.am did with it is obviously a labor of love.

Here's the link again along with will.i.am's story of how he conceived it.

Yes, the Hillary site feels very Windows and the Obama one feels very Mac. So also the video "yes we can" everyone is buzzing about. For a political video it feels, compared with others, very "Macish"...think outside-the-box fresh. Just my opinion.

GOP Operative:

You think posting EXACTLY the same thing twice makes your argument any stronger? It shows how weak you think your argument is that you have to repeat it!

Even worse you say:
"Get used to this, people: President John McCain."

Ha, you realize McCain is more / as liberal as Clinton or Obama?! The guy who wants illegal immigrants made into citizens and hangs around with liberals such as Giuliani and Schwarzenegger? Romney is the ONLY respectable conservative candidate for the GOP!

On a sidenote calling Obama "Osama" is so ridiculous and pathetic it makes me ashamed to be a Republican. Why don't you use your brain and beat the Democrats with valid arguments rather than immature name calling?
