If we want a President that has experience with aliens we would want the mayor of El Paso or Los Angeles to be our next President.

 
Jamespoon [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 12:58:26 PM  
I wonder if that talking point would work with the American public, particularly the rural voters.

Every President is familiar with Aliens - once they take the oath and are briefed.

Meh. Both Bush and McCain have met with the same aliens over ninety percent of the time. We can't afford more of the same.

/I'm Somacandra and I approve this message.

 
LosinMySenses [TotalFark] 2008-09-19 01:14:48 PM  
So McCain has experience running/driving/flying into lightposts?

That would explain why he frequently crashes his planes.

Actually that man is Bill Pullman.

It's a streetlight, John. We have electricity now. They look like they are hovering, especially when it rains, because you can't see the pole.

UFO? Doesn't he mean UFIA?

*click*

Nope, he means UFO. Don't most Americans believe in UFOs?

Darconix: I saw Independence Day. If I recall, the President in that movie was the white dude. Since it turned out well for them in the end, on this issue I have to give McCain the advantage.

This may be the one time I ever agreed with you.

/Does will smith have to get a pilots license though?
//Does Joe Leiberman need to learn how to triangulate signals and download a virus to an alien space ship?

You forget the difference between that movie and McCain, one is a POW, shot down in Vietnam, the other was a Gulf War pilot, hasn't been shot down. Not to mention Pullman was alot younger than McCain

So what? It's not like he said he believed in spaceships or aliens, only that a particular phenomenon was unexplained.

He mean that those object that weren't identified and flying are, in fact, unidentified flying objects? That's quite a revelation.

Someone call John Romero.

The President didn't heroically save the earth in ID4. As I remember, it was the black guy and a jew. And the drunk crop duster.

Your point?

Hey, maybe now McCain and Kucinich can carpool to their MUFON meetings.

 
RobbieFal 2008-09-19 01:34:37 PM  
I heard that Barack Obama was born in a UFO flying over Kenya to two Muslim aliens. Therefore you should vote for McCain. DUH.

Uh, actually, the description of YHVH coming down on Mount Sinai is exactly what you'd expect a nomadic tribal group to record concerning communication with space aliens:

"Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp tremble. And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice."

And of course there is Ezekial's Wheel. And what about Jacob's Ladder too?

 
rosebud_the_sled 2008-09-19 01:38:16 PM  
I think that's just so he can have Homeland Security performing anal probes at will.

Yea, well I saw 'Airplane!'

My point? I got none, but I like to mention that movie.

No, his mother was a white Christian alien. Do your research.

 
skookum 2008-09-19 01:47:11 PM  
Again, this is yet another reason why Obama will not be elected: McCain understands the shadow government who has, in fact, made contact with other races and in fact much of our foreign and domestic policy may indeed be tailored to understandings gleaned from these contacts.

I think the thrust of the shabby little piece was that he was stating that they were not specifically military hardware.

/UFO != spaceship

I bet you're one of those people at parties who insists on explaining to everyone that the "Mona Lisa"'s real name is "La Giaconda".

Darconix: Ever stop to think that the reason that aliens haven't contacted us yet is that they're worried that your liberalism will somehow rub off on them? Look at this from their perspective: they have this great, advanced society, immense amounts of technology and wealth, and they're dealing with a race that has comparatively little. Well, they know what you libs do in such a situation with the roles reversed: you throw open the borders and basically give as much free shiat as you can to the poor. Maybe they're not ready to throw open the borders to Tomlummiac and give us all their shiat.

I still think this is the libs' fault.


If the aliens were conservatives they would have already pre-emptively destroyed us based on cooked up intelligence reports

When the aliens visited earth to seed the primordial soup, they left John McCain to monitor the evolution of life. One condition, he had to spread some unbelievable tale of Creationism.


McCain to Obama: I knew Adam. Adam was a friend of mine. You sir, are no Adam.
