It'd be fun to see an ad with those folks endorsing him.

Who cares what those elitist pricks think. Me and 60 other guys at the bar down the street signed an open letter supporting John McCain, so what's the big deal?

Who cares what those elitist pricks think.

Ummm, that'd be people who give a shit about truth and science and the future of the country mostly.

Thanx fer askin'.

Now. Who gives a fuck wot you and yer alcoholic pals think about anything?

Yer capacity fer individual and original thought simply doesn't exist.

Hell, look at Limpbow's audience.

So deluded they call themselves "ditto-heads" w/o even realising that they are essentially claiming an inability to think fer themselves.

Rethugs are anti-science the same way they are anti-equal rights, anti-womans rights, anti-enviromental etc etc ad nauseum.

Be Well.

Considering that JPW and his pals votes matter here in the States, I do. What does your Canadian vote do for us again?

More from this group supports Obama than did Gore?

What do they see in Obama that they didn't see in Gore? Gore was all about this stuff.

Perhaps many in this group thought Gore was full of shit.

Take her easy, Spud, I was kidding.

"What do they see in Obama that they didn't see in Gore? Gore was all about this stuff."

My guess would be they have greater concern over the general increase in anti-science activities over the past few years such as global warming, vaccines, evolution and stem cell research.

this is the most interesting thing i have read all day.

Obama's gonna win big. it's gonna be embarrasing for mcsame.

Speaking of dumb shit, did you guys hear palin-puss defending the idea that she is an expert on russia because alaska is so close to it. they are runnin it on cnn. if you can watch that and tell me that she is presidential material, you are whack.

I think it speaks volumes. I am with my boss on this one. I am paraphrasing (remember my boss is a lawyer) "I went to W&L, the guys that ran the law review there were smart sons of bitches, I mean really smart, much much smarter than me, can you even imagine how smart the son of a bitch who is president of the law review at Harvard is? I mean I can't even fathom how smart he is, THAT is the person I want running this country" I think if you have a smart person (Obama) running for president and 61 Nobel Prize winners are willing to put their name on a letter endorsing him shows that smart folks want a smart guy in office. Perhaps that is what we have been sadly lacking in recent years.

Nobel winners, humane society, women's groups (ALL of them?) ...

If only IQs over 100 could vote, Obama would win an unparalleled landslide.

As it is, the white trailer trash that needs to see dark skins as lesser beings ("see, there's someone worse off than me") may have some clout at the end. But just a little.

The good guys will have to take at least 40 states, however, to prevent repetitions of the 2000 and 2004 election thefts. herm

61 Nobel Prize winners, many of who work for Universities. Not much different than Mercat Mannor in my mind.

In order to fully appreciate this you have to read it like Peter Griffin on the Family Guy.

ha-hahahaha-ha, Look at me, I'm smart. I got a brain and stuff.

The Bush Administration is the most anti-science Administration we have ever had.

"Me and 60 other guys at the bar down the street signed an open letter supporting John McCain, so what's the big deal?"

Really? I would expect you rainbow flag waving patrons of the Blue Oyster to support the other party....

In case you missed it or would like it summarized, Zat's main point was that WisGod's post contained less-than-perfect spelling and grammar.

Hey, McAint graduated what, 894 out of 899?

Palin is demonstrably dim.

Go ahead and vote for the dummy and the ditz if you like; just acknowledge that you fear and suspect folks with a brain.

Just remember, the folks who are arranging the ecconomic bail wont even let McAint in the room with em.
He didnt read the proposal (3 pages) for over 4 days.

"Dim and lazy with delusions of adaquacy. I'm John McAint and I approve this message"

whale shit fellers.......I guessum that we just bout better git on beck to our double wides and look for my sexy little cousin to get here so we can screw for awhile

Im a hoping that she brings her sister with her as well since her two front teeth left matches up with my two teeth left on the sides and she is REAL PURRTY too.

Well, that and using transistors to diss multiple Physics Nobels from Bell Labs.

From the "letter":

"During the administration of George W. Bush, vital parts of our country's scientific enterprise have been damaged by stagnant or declining federal support."
* * * *

Translation: Bush hasn't given us as much funding as we would have liked. Obama probably will.

One would think that a Nobel-Prize winning scientist would be a little more circumspect about rushing to be first in line to the Obama gravy train.

It's always about money. And if they say, "it's not about the money"--it's about the money.

"Zat's main point was that WisGod's post contained less-than-perfect spelling and grammar."

I think his point was that Wisgod's post contained incredibly bad spelling and grammar.

I have to admit, as someone who makes alot of typos, I used to find it annoying. But now I enjoy Zat's reposting of others comments with the '(sic)'. I find it amusing every time now and I couldn't explain why.

Don't forget, in a nuclear war Houston gets a good hundred hits. Out in the middle of nowhere we'll have a good view of the mushroom clouds and time to drink ourselves to death before the radiation poisoning does it.

Paris for prez!

So some guys who know about lasers and electromagnetic currents think Obama will be a good president. Why should that matter? Have they ever studied economics? Do they know anything about the Constitution? Why should I give a shit what they think?

If Paris was president, she would probably have to spend less time airing her vagina out in public.

Rightiswrong wouldn't have a tiny little microscopic ephemeral clue what a physics Nobel winner might think.

When it comes to funding? I would say that it is commonsense that scientists have to consider funding. They believe in what they do so therefore naturally they will support a presidential candidate who they believe will fund they more aggressively.

Why should I give a shit what they think?

You shouldn't by ned. Stand up for your right to not be bothered by smart people.

you're right college boy. after all, no one gives a shit what you think.

Woulda been more convincing with a '(sic)' thrown in there, 101.

"Why should I give a shit what they think?"

Because under the current administration, scientific reports have been altered due to political or religious concerns, and McCain has embraced those he used to call "the agents of intolerance", so the scientists don't see much changing if the Republicans win.

Personally, I don't want government lying to me (or students) under the guise of science, or withholding certain facts just because they don't jibe with the popular religion.

FACT: 87.5 percent of DR spelling and syntax errors are committed by righties.

(FACT: 77.5 percent of all statistics are made up on the spur of the moment.)

The same folks who disparage anyone knowing more than they do, which is practically everyone, come off as peculiarly - er - challenged in my book when they try to dismiss Nobel prizes. herm

Personally, I don't want government lying to me (or students) under the guise of science, or withholding certain facts just because they don't jibe with the popular religion......

Taking that further....

I don't want our government setting economic-stifling policy as a means of paying deference to pop-culture 'science'.

I Don't want our government subsidizing inefficient and non-competitive energy sources because it 'feels right' but has no real firm scientific backing to support what said energy sources are supposed to achieve in terms of 'helping' the environment.

Resist the temptation to place scientists on some sort of unassailable pedestal. They are people, just like you, me, lawyers, accountants, etc. They have ambitions and they feel greed. They want grant money and they want to get their works published. If they feel one candidate is more sensitive to whatever 'cause' they are pushing, they will gladly support said candidate.

This board needs an ignore function.

Jeff,

I agree with all your stances. None of them, however, address the serious wrongdoing of suppressing or falsifying current scientific findings for political or religious reasons.

I think it goes without saying that nobody would support that kind of behavior.

Everyone has an agenda......everyone.

"This board needs an ignore function."

No kidding. The old Drudge board had one. It would be great to bypass Johnson's tedious manifestos and Bushlover's daily assault on the English language.

That aside, how do you feel about suppressing or falsifying scientific findings for political and/or religious reasons?

Enjoy the extirpation, moron!

61 Nobel laureates for Obama eh? Unfortunately in our one-person-one-vote system that number is dwarfed by the millions of good 'ol boys with their thumbs up their asses that are for McCain.

God is a contrarian and He is going to vote. It will surprise the world!

With God you are majority!

Many scientists who have been dringking Darwin's Koolaid has a bias against people of faith.

Macroevolution is a modern myth getting ahead in this country only because it is not tagged as religion or god.

Otherwise evidence suggests that the USA became the most powerful nation on earth even while mocking evolution.

"under the current administration, scientific reports have been altered due to political or religious concerns"

Really? When? I'm honestly just wondering.

"61 Nobel Laureates in Science Endorse Obama"

Wow, what a revaluation. That is like saying the Democrats support Obama.

""61 Nobel Laureates in Science Endorse Obama"

Wow, what a revaluation. That is like saying the Democrats support Obama."

Well that cinches it for me. If really smart people like Nobel Laureates vote Democratic, I'm voting Republican!

"61 Nobel Laureatesin Science Endorse FLOP EARS". These are the same egg heads that honored Gore. They should be called Nobel Liberals.

My my, another ignorant, retarded wankstain using transistors to diss Bell Labs employees. Good thing I have polyphasors on my irony meter.

And by the way, shit-for-brains, Gore's Nobel was the Peace Prize. These people had nothing to do with it.

Still delusional.

God talks to conservatives not liberals.

the point was these awards are for mostly liberal assholes.

~Where's Oswaldo

Bwa hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah!!1!

Dear sweet baby Jebus.

Just when you think Oozy can't say anything stupider than the tripe he's posted to date he suprises you by reaching down deep within his troubled mind and coming up with something so patently ludicrous it boggles the mind.

The Nobel committee is predisposed to give awards to Liberals?

Tell that to Henry Kissinger's Peace Prize.

Damn, yer funny.

Just so we're clear... NOT the good kind of funny.

Be Well.

~Fresno

Just cos they hear voices in their head doesn't mean they are talking to God.

The Son of Sam heard voices too, ya know.

So liberal academic elitists support a liberal presidential candidate. Geez! What a shocker?

um, okay....

"Well, that and using transistors to diss multiple Physics Nobels from Bell Labs."

"Really? When? I'm honestly just wondering."

These 61 Nobel winners and anybody they influence won't make any difference because they wouldn't be voting for a return to the Dark Ages anyway. If you were in the upper echelons of the scientific community would you be voting for a party a significant portion of whose support is proudly anti-science because it conflicts with their fundamentalism? Of course you wouldn't.

Luckily it doesn't matter. Let's face it, unless something strange happens(always possible) McThuselah -- running about like a headless chicken -- and Sassy Sarah -- waving at Putin as he flies over Alaskan airspace -- are toast anyway.

Science is not evolution and evolution is not science. The liberals do lie and are not ashame of it. They drink the koolaid of Darwin and they think they own science.

Huge irony flag for you TakeitEZ.

mentally retarded flag

Today evolution is the foundation of all biology, so basic and all-pervasive that scientists sometimes take its importance for granted. At some level every discovery in biology and medicine rests on it, in much the same way that all terrestrial vertebrates can trace their ancestry back to the first bold fishes to explore land. Each year, researchers worldwide discover enough extraordinary findings tied to evolutionary thinking to fill a book many times as thick as all of Darwin's works put together. This year's volume might start with a proposed rearrangement of the microbes at the base of the tree of life and end with the discovery of 190-million-year-old dinosaur embryos.

but earth is 6000 years old as palin's religion says...right?

Evolution is getting an unfair advantage only because it is not tagged as religion or god.

Macroevolution is a modern myth and promoted by way of dogma, lawsuits, intimidation, insults, and brazen shamelessness.

Potato was Intelligently Designed for human consumption. Bees never evolved. Man has always been man. Lucy is a shameless hoax.

Science is not evolution and evolution is not science. The USA became great even while mocking evolution. Only a shameless liar will say that one is behind in science if evolution is not embraced in all its mythology.

The Big Bang is not science. Its a clueless guess.

FF for GUS!
By the way, that gal voted for Hillary. Obama needs her vote and she says, through her drunken stupor, that it's not about his skin color.

Let me set the record straight once and for all.
Anyone who votes for McCain that is middle income. poor are just plain IGNORANT!
You are all voting against your own best interests.
Just think about it for a minute, he wears shoes that cost 300 dollars,his wife wears a dress that cost $300,000 dollars. Why sould he care about your needs?

Don't get fooled with his down home style. Believe me we need someone with some intelligence again. We have not had a government of the people for the people for 8 years please we don't want another 4 of the same. McCain's pick for VP should give you some cause to question his judgment. She is completely out of her league. Maybe she is a qualified governor of a land of Ice, but give me a break if Grandpa dies could you possibly see her as president.

UTASTAFF

Well I guess Liberal Assholes are the only intelligent people on this planet.
Where are the conservation intelletuals HUH?

Conservatives are at home counting there money and trying to think of a way they can screw their gardner out of a few dollars.

"Just think about it for a minute, he wears shoes that cost 300 dollars,his wife wears a dress that cost $300,000 dollars. Why sould he care about your needs?" - MAR

Well, if he gets low on cash maybe can turn to a couple others who "care about your needs" - Kerry and Kennedy.

Does one's prosperity somehow disqualify one from serving others and caring about your needs? Not sure I necessarily agree with you on that. Kennedy, in particular, seems to have accomplished that just fine if you like his politics.

For what it's worth, when someone calls another person ignorant that's not exactly a rallying measure. Rather than impugn others' intelligence, we should try to persuade them.

While I don't fit the profile you described in your post I do think many voters base their vote on a variety of things. Taxation is a big issue, to be sure. So are things like national defense, spending priorities, social issues, etc.

Plus there is the inherent bias built in (like with religion) due to influence from your parents. Sometimes old habits are hard to change. Calling those people ignorant isn't likely to help bring them around. (I know you weren't singling out anyone in particular)

" counting there(sic) money "

Moron flag.

Nothing like a good old self-retorting retort in the morning.

"Just think about it for a minute, he wears shoes that cost 300 dollars,his wife wears a dress that cost $300,000 dollars."

I bet you REALLY hated FDR, JFK, Gore, Kerry and all those other rich folks too...right? And you had the balls to call mcCain supporters ignorant. LOL

"Conservatives are at home counting there money and trying to think of a way they can screw their gardner out of a few dollars."

No we're not. We're at home in front of our computers enjoying the comedy posted by government school educated morons like you.

I'm generalizing about poor people that get caught up in the flag waving patriotic nonsense that John McCain tries to sell to (no fault of their own) uneducated people that keep electing presidents that are not in their best interest. Maybe ignorant was bad choice of words, but what else can you call people that blindly follow someone because he is waving the flag. I'm just as American as anyone else and obey the laws and love my country. But, remember Ben Franklin's famous words Patriotisn is the last refuge for scondrels. The GOP has always waved our flag. By the way did you noticed McCain did not have a flag on his lapel and Obama did during last nights debate. Imagine if it was the other way around. The last refuge for scondrels,

Justgettingalong

Excuse me did you mean to say Mormon or Moron?
I guess you were home schooled.

"Patriotisn is the last refuge for scondrels."

"The last refuge for scondrels,"

You keep missing the "U" in "scoundrels." It must be a bad key on your keyboard because I'm sure someone as highly educated as yourself wouldn't misspell the word. If you really are a mariachi, I recommend you take your trumpet or guitar and hit the street instead of fumbling around here on the DR.

nobel laureates endorse Obama?

big deal! that's just elitism, after all.

why should we listen to peopel who know what they're talking about? isn't it better to elect a drinking buddy? that stretegy's worked well the last few years (if you can call those "elections").

;)
