On CNN in the 'America Rocks the Vote' segment an obvious Mac user ask the most important question of all...'Mac or PC?' Rev. Sharpton and Ms. Braun use Mac, Leiberman uses Wireless PDA and the rest use PC. Nether of those 3 will win so a Mac Whitehouse is not gonna happen.

It could always be a republican one

Misanthrope · Nov 4, 2003, 06:38 PM

14 out of 8 democrats are flaming morons.

::maroma:: · Nov 4, 2003, 06:52 PM

Hah! I think it's cool that someone asked that question. I bet it was the first time any of those dorks had heard that one before. Their minds were probably racing.."OMG! What should I say?? What would be the best thing to say here??"

GW doesn't have the mental capacity to use a Mac. Even if it is the most user friendly OS on the planet.

It seems Leiberman took himself out of the loop.

I do believe there is a picture of him back when he was running Texas with a Wallstreet PowerBook on his desk behind him...

"Sharpton uses a mac???"
I think what he meant to say was...
"Sharpton uses a computer???"
I dont think that character has the mentalcapacity to use a scientifici calculator to add up the tip at whatever buffet he eats at, let alone to use a computer.

I was making a statement. Don't get me started on republicans.

itistoday · Nov 4, 2003, 07:59 PM

9 out of 10 people are complete morons. And 80% of statistics are bullshit.

Yea, I think you got a point there.

Axo1ot1 · Nov 4, 2003, 09:26 PM

I don't know about you guys, but I think Sharpton, despite some of his sillier characteristics, has really been bringing it on the issues lately. I think it would be kinda cool to have someone like him as president. Way better than the boring political scene these days. (No, Schwarzenegger is a moron and an anomaly). At least Sharpton can say just what he believes and do it in an interesting way, unlike the scripted bullshit that pours from the power-hungry mouths of most of the other candidates.

DAMN RIGHT

...but I still like Kucinich...too bad he doesn't have a chance.

Shaddim · Nov 4, 2003, 09:45 PM

What this country needs is a person of vision, a person of ideas, aperson like...

Mr Wooly himself!

An iMac on every desk!

NYCFarmboy · Nov 4, 2003, 09:56 PM

Well...wow..Al Sharpton and I have something in common.

Hmmmm..I wonder what his screen name is on here?

Right, because we'll have a dictator. Witty and winking

Kilbey · Nov 5, 2003, 11:19 AM

WHY ISN'T THIS IN THE POLITICS LOUGE?!?!?

Slightly on topic:

Didn't Gore switch from a Mac user to a Windows user while he was VP?

Now that he is on Apple's board, I bet he's still a windows user.

Spheric Harlot · Nov 5, 2003, 11:50 AM

I've been meaning to ask:

What's a "democrate"?

One that's returned to the store and sold at a discount?

GFitzy · Nov 5, 2003, 12:43 PM

Moseley Braun a MAC ??

I don't think so . . . .

from the transcript:

"MOSELEY BRAUN: Macs or PCs? I'll answer. I like them--my son has a Mac, he loves it. I use a PC. "

continuing . . . .

"MODERATOR: The question was actually to all of you. So, Governor Dean, Mac or PC?

DEAN: PC. PC.

LIEBERMAN: Handheld wireless. That's what I have.

(LAUGHTER)

MODERATOR: Somehow I knew you were going to say that.

<what the hell does that mean??>

SHARPTON: Mac.

KUCINICH: PC.

(APPLAUSE)

SHARPTON: A politically correct Mac.

<you go Rev!>

KUCINICH: PC."

Sharpton is like a breath of fresh air, those phoneys don't know what to do with him! I love watching them squirm when he points out their faults, ala Dean and the Stars & Bars comment

"sounds more like Stonewall Jackson than Jessie Jackson!"

and he went on speaking to Dean

"Most poor Southern whites don't wear a Confederate flag, and you ought not try to stereotype that."

Only 2 in 10 Republicans on MacNN uses a Mac.

I wonder how they find this place?*

No George Bush does not use a Mac.

GWB: I guess I'm not supposed to be talking about brands, but since Michael Dell is my good friend and Dell is a Texas company, I'm the owner of a Dell computer. I use it mainly for a couple of things. One, e-mail. I stay in touch with my family via e-mail. I've got a private address that I'd say maybe 50 people have with whom I communicate on a regular basis. I'm on my e-mail nearly every day. My mother and I were e-mailing the other day as a matter of fact. My father and I e-mail each other quite frequently. My brother Jeb, who is the governor of Florida, is a prolific e-mailer, and I hear from him quite often. I use the Internet for, well, I'm a rancher and I'm on a Web site that's got Doppler radar available at a touch, so I can see whether or not it's raining on my ranch. I know that sounds kind of weird, but nevertheless when you own the land and it's dry, it's interesting to watch weather patterns and whether or not they're going to affect my ranch.

He uses Dell.

That PowerBook behind him isn't his apparently.
