Must be a Republican. <br><br>There is a reason why such a good chunk of Barack Obama’s supporters are younger and college educated. And... there is also a reason why McCain supporters are primarily old and du…well, shall we say, not-so-much.<br><br>TO THE FUTURE!!! THE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN. GET OUT OF OUR WAY!<br><br>Keep your spirit. I live right outside of Washington and people here are excited about Barack. No McCain/Palin or Palin/McCain ticket could ever draw up this kind of response. <br><br>My friends and I are working hard (for free) for Barack Obama, registering voters, canvassing, phone banking, and just plain gettin' the word out.

However, you could have saved yourself a lot of time if you would have looked up "empire" in the dictionary. Or read a history book. <br><br>There is a very basic distinction to be made between an "empire" and the current US deployment. The Roman, British, Mughal, French, etc. empires would not have left if asked. Unless you are seriously suggesting that the US runs Germany, South Korea, the UK, the Phillipines, Iceland, etc.? If you believe this you need to stop wasting so much time typing and spend more time learning. <br><br>Your analogy to an "American Empire" is fundamentally flawed.<br><br>You fail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
