looking at the things she's said... do you think i could move do maine and push the paperwork through fast enough to vote for her? she seems mild reasonable sane sociable and not an egotistical fuckhead (which raises questions as to why shes going into politics), but otherwise i want to vote for this lady.
The latter. Colleen's World has a bunch of her posts as originally posted, and its version of that didn't have the bracketed part. Which, if anything, only serves to suggest that they actually are this clueless and aren't just trying to get one over on old people and technophobes.Hitchmeister said:
You have two politicians; a stuffy rich businessman who can't express emotions or sympathize with the poor, & a grown woman who knows how to have fun in the digital world. Do you vote for the robot or the human?
Republican party actually thinks that exposing how normal & down to earth the opponent is will make them NOT vote for her? It's like asking elementary school kids to chose between one substitute teacher that hates candy & another that brings a bag of it.

I think it's that the Republican party sees video gaming as shameful, don't realize how common & normal it is, & fail to see how making Colleen look fun & down to earth will only backfire in their faces, because it takes a stab at absolutely anyone who plays RPGs & shooters.Fiz_The_Toaster said:
Looked at her profile I don't think she plays that much as she is still level 85 and her item is woefully low (345), plus her activity log has been updated in almost a month. She is probably pretty causal which means on one needs to worry about her putting work over gaming. All in all this website does nothing to prove that she is unfit for office. Maybe she should watch what she puts on the Internet from now on but that is advice everyone should follow.

OT: Is everyone starting too see that the Internet is not your secrete friend that you can tell random BS too? Is everyone starting too wonder if Facebooking your-drunken-night out 20 years ago might come up as a scandal in the 2032 election for the Space Presidency? "Do you want this person greeting the Martian Ambassador (your pic vomiting into the toilet)?"
Many of Y'all still have this antiquated notion that the Internet is not the real-world. That what you say and do will stay here. This story is not the best example, she is playing a game, of-course Rouge like too stab thing, we all need a good Mr. Pointy now-an-then.
But when we start too talk about the threats, racial/homophobic slurs, idolizing violence, rape jokes, ect. and then you are surprised that Law Enforcement took the threats seriously and come knocking down your door in full riot-gear. That is the near future people, the Internet will have no more Anonymity then the local coffee house, and that is a good thing. Especially in America where we are free to say what we believe and practice any religion we want.
I welcome, and pray, for that day when people will start too learn some manners again and grow-up on the Internets. We do not need too agree, most of the time, I engage in healthy debate so that I can better understand my own views and believes.
This whole thing makes me wonder, why having so much time and resources spent on trying to tail-out the private life of a senator? on a video game no less. Keeping in mind that WoW is very addictive, this Senator seems to be doing well on her profesional live on the charge that she is able to indulge herself into WoW is something very comendable.
Not just that, the Republicans seems to be working more in her favor, lets put it like this: If they need to go back to a history of 4 years old videogames message boards in order to dig out something that may be "bad" for this Senator, again speaks volumes of how good she might be on the position she is entitled to, also knowing the Republican party's practices of they cant find nothing else, professionally speaking, then they are just waisting their time and voters time as well, by pulling out this kind of propaganda.
Disclaimer: Im not from the USA, know of the Republican practices due US legal voters personal experiences and media, used to play WoW from 2006-2011 and I got a Masters degree on Political and Law practices.

On the plus side, she's using the internet. That put her ahead of 80% of politicians.Lunar Templar said:

No offense to you or anything you support but he had 2 years of a democratic senate and a democratic house. There is no reason he could not pass what he wanted to besides the fact that even democrats disagreed with what he was about to do. Especially the "stimulus" plan that actually worsened the economy than what was projected without it. I mean, it's great he killed Osama with what he called "Cheney's private assassination squad" (according to a chain e-mail, that's about all I can find on it). He's done a lot, but a lot of good, that's for the people to decide and I personally disagree with his economic plan. I just don't agree with tripling the deficit withing the first year of your presidency with a stimulus bill that didn't work.Gearhead mk2 said:
I am a fiscal conservative but yet I'm a social liberal, I believe that gays should have a right to marry like everyone else but I also believe that there is such a thing as the "deserving poor".
really that's all they got? that is just pathetic
"Deaths per second"... so instead of doing one minute search on google they made up there own acronym. that is just lazy and stupid
for the people who are saying they will vote for her just because she plays video games; you are almost at the same level of intelligence as the person who came up with "death per second"
