Early on in the primary season, Senator Ted Kennedy anointed Barack Obama as the heir to brother John F. Kennedy's legacy. What a sycophantic dog and pony show that was! Since then the Husseiniacs even on Capitol Hill have been blaspheming about Obama being not just like Kennedy, but the Messiah. How dare they!
 
Sick. Arrogant. Faithless. Idolatry. Twisted. Desperate.Typical. Liberal.
 
But Alienated got me thinking: Is Barack even worthy of tying the thong of John F. Kennedy's sandals?
 
Kennedy unilaterally sent troops into a country that posed no threat to our national security. Kennedy attempted to engineer the assassination of a foreign leader, and then fomented revolution in that country. Kennedy stood up to the Russians diplomatically and militarily when we were on the brink of having nulcear missiles just 90 miles away from us.
 
Moreover, Kennedy called for a program that evevntually earmarked 5% - five percent - of our nation's gross domestic product to the military-industrial complex (READ: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo). Peaceful purposes? Really? Try demonstrating that we can build and launch some of the most powerful missiles the world has ever seen.
 
Kennedy cut taxes!
 
Reagan and the Bushes are heirs to Kennedy's legacy of governance, not Obama! If Obama promised to govern like Kennedy as I listed above, I'd still not vote for him because I know he would be lying! The way Kennedy governed is polar opposite to the way Biden, Pelosi, Reid and Obama would run this country. And they would govern the country in that order, make no mistake. Those long-time DC insiders will render Obama into nothing more than a human pencil. Yes, your changes are very nicely typed, but just read what's on the teleprompter, Barry, OK? That's what you're soooo good at! Leave policy making to the grownups.
 
Pelosi, Reid, Biden and Obama will govern this country with all the economic malaise and ineptitude of Jimmy Carter, all the courage and fortitude in the face of impending foreign danger as Neville Chamberlain, and all the tact, sensitivity discretion, class and foresight of William BJ Clinton.
 
I remember John Kennedy, Senator Obama - and take it from me: You're no John Kennedy, and neither are your collaborators.
 
Don King would have been a better VP choice.

    Obama plans to cut taxes and really the only person he's screwing are those who are really rich (I don't agree with this strategy, but the truth is it seems to work defying all logic.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_positions_of_Barack_Obama#Taxation  So your speaking on his taxes is just lies and propaganda.
     
    Obama has sworn to hunt down terrorists.  Going as far as to claim he would send troops in Pakistan with or without permission? http://www.military.com/NewsContent/0,13319,144560,00.html?ESRC=topstories.RSS
     
     
    Seriously, does Obama need to to nuke Russia now, and send assassins into N. Korea two years ago to be considered tough on terrorists?
     
    So your claiming that Obama wouldn't use the military to defend this nation comes from one of three places.  A.  Your lying.  B.  You think he's lying C. You simply haven't researched any of Obama's actual stances.
     
    I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming it's mostly C, and the rest is B.

    Come on, Sean. There is only one choice because Obama is a liberal / socialist
    Democrat ... he is lying. But we will most likely never know because the public
    is being reminded again, as they usually have to be before a presidential
    election, that politicians like Borax will say anything to get what they want.
    
    What most fail to see, as curmudgeon points out, is that the Republican 
    party today is more closely aligned with the Democrat party of JFK's day
    than the Democrat party today. Both partys have moved to the left,
    unfortunately, and the Democrat party is almost off the scale. Many party
    faithfuls (we all have them in our families) think the Democrat party still
    stands for the things it stood for in days gone by. It does not. It stands
    for abortion, perversion, globalism, socialism, atheism, on and on. The 
    Democrat party of today is more aligned with the devil than with JFK. And 
    that is a fact, Jack. According to ALIENipedia.

    The fact that Republicans and Democrats have switched bodies several times isn't really debatable.  Say what you want about gays and blacks and women being separate issues but the fact remains that really the only people who think that freedom to do what you want is somehow different based on some detail that doesn't effect them is ONLY held by oppresors.  Yeah Lincoln freed the slaves?  Who cares.
     
    The Dems do stand for freedom, freedom of choice, freedom of speech.  I wish they stood for atheism but they lack the courage to stand up like men and would still rather be sheep and it's disgusting that men would rather live as sheep than men.  I hope I'm there to see when you stand up and accept how incredible you are and stop bowing your head but I doubt it will happen. 
     
    1.  Globalism is a good thing.
    2.  Gobalism is inevitable
    3.  Despite occasionally being stupid beyond all reason because a global government means the end times in your mythology republicans have done more aid globalization via moving jobs over seas and sending money over seas to avoid taxes than Dems ever have.  You can argue that higher taxes on the rich caused such a thing but unless you want to grant Dems as a whole some kind of borderline psychic level of genuis they obviously didn't overtax Bill Gates so he would send money overseas, so their economies would grow  so the world's economics would level out and guys in India would start to live like people in the US.  Hell Lex Luthor's plots aren' that convoluted..
     
    I do hate socialism.  The question is how much socialism do you need to mix into the system to keep the poor from murdering all of us.  I know you believe that evil is genetic and that evil people are just evil, there is no reason why the poor are more likely to be involved in drug dealing or theft.  The rich are just lucky and don't have those genes.  For those of us who deal more often in reality though we recognize that there is a vested interest in the middle and upper clases in keeping the poor from hitting rock bottom.

    Didn't Obama say he would negotiate with North Korea and Iran without precondition? If that's his position, what kind of terrorist hunter would he be?
     
    Invade Pakistan? Attack a nuclear power with a substantial Pakistani population in the United States? Gee, that would result in destabilizing the entire subcontinent, causing all kinds of violence in India and economic turmoil in a region that is now on a fast-track to relative affluence.
     
    If that's Obama's policy position, I don't need to research it because on the face of it it's plainly suicidal. He's more of an idiot than I thought.
     
    As to tax policy, I'm more into creating opportunities for all than taxing one because it's "more fair" to the other. And Obama himself has stated that he would be cautious about raising taxes on anyone if it might hurt the economy. Oh, wait - raising taxes on "the wealthy" is supposed to aid in economic recovery! Why is he now tiptoeing around the issue?
     
    The truth is you don't know what Obama will do once he's in office. I submit that he will do nothing but follow Biden's lead. During this campaign, he has shifted his position on the surge, on taxation, on drilling, on Iraq. If elected, Obama will govern by poll and prove to be one of the most ineffective Presidents since Jimmy Carter.
