Why were you rooting for Harper? It seems you know nothing about him. As correct or as incorrect as Sinead's statement may be, your letting it change your opinion without even looking into it for yourself. It is not really know how much Bush manipulates Harper or if he does at all. Perhaps they just have similar values so it appears that way. Perhaps Harper just thinks American relations are very important. Or maybe Harper really is Bush's slave and we should be wary of him. The point is, don't let a message board tell you what to think. At least, not unless they back it up with data (which I’m sure many could).

I was right, though.

well I'm not. I'm not really into politics except that I hate Bush. I am getting more involved by the day, but I'm American, so first I should find out everything about my country first. I thought he was anti - war, so that was why I was rooting for him

how am I losing? I'm a political science major for christ sakes! It's what I do!

Perhaps your losing because you were barely here this past year. Perhaps a better question would be "Why is Lando tied with you?" And if Lando is tied with you, than can winning this award really mean all that much?

P.S I'm not putting down Lando, I'm just pointing out that little about this award makes sense. Of all the awards Lando could be nominated for, this is the last one I'd thought he'd be in. :lol:

You're very right. But I would have thought my reputation was good enough to get me this one this year.

And ya that poses another question... who voted for Lando? lol

That is a very good question. Also, I should have been paying more attention. Lando is not tied with you anymore.

Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

first off far too many people have missed my amazing diss of Sinead. It's amazing cause it's true.

Second, yesterday I was down by one. Today I'm up by one. Since it is the politics award we should have a good old fashioned French run-off between me and Taylor to determine a winner based on majority. It is the democratic way haha.
