We finally go political on this week’s podcast, as Emma and Andrew debate the strong and weak points of the presidential candidates while I (Will) sit and moderate.
It’s a longer one this week, but it’s a good one.
As always, here are some tasty links and stuff:
•Interview with Mike Huckabee from men.style.com: I have to warn you, this site is probably biased against the guy. This is where the quote that got people up in arms originated, however: "You have to have a basic family structure. There’s never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived." A lot of people took this as him saying "Gay people are a threat to our civilization."
•According to Wikipedia, Iowa contains 2,926,324 people. Not sure what that means in terms of an election, but hey. I looked it up.
•When Emma said Obama is a "green" candidate and I said the youth would like that, I think we were talking about different greens.
•"I Got a Crush ... On Obama" By Obama Girl: What? Crazy video on YouTube. Favorite line: "You can Barack me tonight."
•"Escape from Polygamy": Yes, this is biased against the Fundamentalist Mormon Faith, but it’s one of my favorite articles I’ve ever read online. It also includes a brief summary of the difference between Fundamentalist Mormons and Mormons like Mitt Romney.
•A picture of Mitt Romney: Because we said he looks a lot like a president already.
•Andrew mentioned a lot of stuff about Hillary and why people might not like her. I don’t like her based on the fact that I find her unlikable, so I’m not going to bother looking up all the stuff he mentioned. Let it be known that there are a LOT of "skeletons" in Hillary’s closet.
•A picture of Hillary Clinton: Because I said she looked scary.
•John McCain says Iraq is totally cool and that you could walk through some neighborhoods and be fine. To put his money where his mouth was, he took a stroll through an Iraqi market ... escorted by 100 soldiers, three Blackhawks and two Apache gunships.
•John McCain IED joke on "The Daily Show" clip
•John Edwards is a faggot: According to Ann Coulter. I think she’s scarier-looking than Hillary.
•I won’t look for the statistic on how many babies Ron Paul has delivered because I’m sure his propaganda would love to tell you for me.
Whew! Enjoy.
