Rylan, we're not smearing anyone and your points do speak for themselves. They just don't say what you think they say...
If we were mis-representing the facts or making them up (NYTimes) that would be smear. Showing that Obama has an amazingly high "Present" voting tendency is not smearing. It's posting the truth.
I'm all for everyone "growing up". That includes the way you post Rylan. You frequently post completely fictional information and try to make us believe it is true.
Your points do speak for themselves. The lack of any truth behind so many of them convinces me more than ever that Obama's entire candidacy is a sham. If you're posting the best arguments for Obama the left wing blogs can come up with God help us all.
I've repeatedly tried to have "grown up" conversations with you Rylan. In good faith I ALWAYS post my sources, use multiple sources, and usually use liberal sources so as to remove any doubt as to the writer's bias.
A Grown up debate is healthy and worthwhile. This continual "hit and run" nonsense has to go, however. Research your topics from credible sources, then post and let's discuss them.
You're a smart guy Rylan, but you don't appear to be thinking for yourself. This last round of "A present vote is a yes vote" was just silly.
what is is 136 out of over 4000 votes...amounts to a very low % of only about 3%
Second, this is not a defense of Jay-Z... but the soundtrack is an interpretation of the movie... If you follow the tracks on the cd it tells a story... and is loosly based on the movie and drug culture.
Here are some other lyrics of another song "Fallin"
But there's a price for overdoing it
Doin' it this big'll put you on the map
Stick-up kids is out some tax
Plus the FBI Boys with the cameras in the back, D---!
I know I shouldnt've did that
I know it's gon' come right back
I know it's gon' destroy everything I made
It's probably gon' get ya boy sent away
But this game I play, ain't no way to fix it
It's inevitable -
Now you're
(FALLING)
When you should've scaled back,
Now you're
(FALLING)
Right into they lap
Falling, they applaud and they screamin' at the screen
"----, you
[hr]
up! " like your favorite movie scene
Godfather, Goodfellas, Scarface, Casino
You seen what that last run did to DeNiro
When he can't beat the odds, can't cheat the cards
Can't blow too hard, life's a deck of cards
Now you're tumbling, it's humbling, you're falling, you're mumbling
Under your breath like you knew this day was coming
(FALLING)
Now let's pray that arm candy
That you left your Ex- for stay 'down' and come in handy
Cause come January, it gets cold
When the letters start to slow, when your commissary's low
When your lawyer screams "Appeal! " only thinkin' bout a bill
When your chances are nil, ----, gravity's I'll...
I know I shouldnt've did that
I know it's gon' come right back
I know it's gon' destroy everything I made
It's probably gon' get ya boy sent away
