what the FUCK is a precondition? Is that a condition before a condition?

strong english skills just to rip on mccain.

precondition = something that must come before or is necessary to a subsequent result; condition: a precondition for a promotion.

Who decides what these preconditions are? The Department of Redundancy Department?

I don't believe a spending freeze is in order. That will hurt the real infrastructure of the government.. That would further lead to a systemic crisis.

doesn't this assume that Iran wants to meet with us? what the hell on earth would they come to the united states for?

It's like a police officer telling a drug dealer, "take out your trash or I wont even consider meeting with you".

I can see McCain now, "take apart your Nucular weapons or we will not meet with you".

Iran: what? You're the one that want's something from me. I'm the one that sets the preconditions.

Re: Debate #1 Thread

lol that whole speal about "precondition" was hilarious to me.. its obvious mccain has no idea what a "precondition" is.

also, one thing i just remembered, Obama only referred to McCain as "John" and McCain only referred to Obama as "Obama" not Barack.

i know that pretty minimalistic, but i dont call anyone by their last name... only their first.

Oh wait, I get it. Obama's thinking about KFC, 'cuz he's black, and black people like fried chicken. Ah, the wit. Good one, shosh.

I'm done playing "cultural sensitivity police" with you, dude. I don't know that I've ever actually called you a racist, but if I have, it's because I think you probably are a racist. Maybe you're not, though, maybe you're just incredibly ignorant. Hard for me to know for sure. Hell, the more likely scenario is that it's both.

I do know this, though -- when I see people like yourself that use the N-word freely the way you've used it in the past and offer this racially-tinged "humor," I can either sit back and say nothing and be part of the problem, or I can speak up. It obviously doesn't shut you up, but hopefully it helps to spread the message more broadly that not everyone agrees with that shit, and that intolerance doesn't move us in the right direction.

I know enough about your political ideology to know that there are plenty of legitimate areas of disagreement that you probably have with Obama from a policy standpoint. 19 months into the campaign, though, and you still look at Obama as "the black guy." That's kinda sad.

For the record, I do get that this little picture here is not exactly a scene out of Mississippi Burning, but it still fundamentally stems from a really antiquated mindset. It is that mindset that I feel compelled to speak out against. Having said my peace, though, I'm done -- it's not my job to respond to every post you make.
