You all seem to forget that no one goes to Washington D.C. unless someone votes for them and sends them there. We are sending the Democrats and Republicans to D.C. They are not just magically appearing there. What do you think I have been talking about for months now? We had a primary and the best we could come up with was McCain and Obama. And then they gave us Palin and Biden. I mean almost as many did not want Obama as wanted him (he barely beat Hillary). McCain pretty solidly won the Republican nomination. He is the better liked person here because he is nearest the center. He best represents the thinking of the majority of the people of this nation. As I have also been saying, all blacks voting for Obama means nothing--they always vote for the Democrat. The real difference is that independents, Reagan Democrats, many of the Hillary supporters who were cheated by Obama's supporters, and Democrats who just will not vote for a black man (they are no more racist than blacks doing the opposite) are going to vote for McCain. I am telling you, many people are not endorsing McCain, but they will vote for him. They just do not want all the bile that the politically correct "you are a racist" media will bring down on them if they say a word. I mean look at Palin. A very popular governor was buried under liberal crapola in no time. Who would want that? I am also telling you, people like Colin Powell and Oprah voting for Obama is not going to make the difference. McCain will get all the states Bush got and then some. The media always paints their "sky is falling" scenario the last days before the election, but smart voters are watching and will reject Obama and his miriad of negatives. The polls were wrong even on election day in 2004. They finally gave up on exit polls because people were voting for Bush but not saying so. I mean, good god, after all we have heard about Obama and the worst someone can say about McCain is he voted similar to most everyone in congress? ha ha ha If we all keep our heads, ignore the baloney filled accounts of the last eight years, and go vote for the best man for the job (McCain), we will not be having this conversation in six months. We will not be trying to figure out why we keep electing bad politicians. What we really need to figure out is why the two main parties keep nominating bad choices for us to pick from, which is why we are always voting for the lesser of two evils.
That's too close for comfort. Dems only need really to pick up 2 of the five toss up since the two independent Senators currently caucus with the Dems. They could potentially pick up all five but I expect Alaska to go R. with it's two. But still. To damn close.
Bite me GDog. Have you confessed that you are also Skittlecrow yet? The styles are just too similar ... cut and paste shitloads of crap. All I say is not easily found on your pro-Obama propaganda sites, where you get all your cut and paste material. I distill down what I hear day to day over the airwaves from people that have not inbibed in the Obama coolade. Be honest. Should Obama really be ahead as the polls indicate? Really, be honest. Do you really believe Obama is the better person for the job? Do you really believe Obama loves this country and has served this country as much as McCain? Do you honestly think Obama is as national security and foreign policy savy as McCain? Remember, be honest. You credibility depends on it. I keep saying the same things over and over because the truth is the truth, and people are ignoring the truth. If Obama does pull it off, I will have the pleasure, in only a few months, of pointing to many, many posts and saying I told you so. Of course, that depends on how long we have freedom of speech if (Zero)bama is elected. It always amazes me how Democrats / liberals squawk about losing their freedoms, their first amendment rights, blah blah blah, and then vote for a near communist like Obama and all the Democrats in congress that want to bring about the era of Big Brother (laws based on political correctness). Amazing indeed. Maybe I can see through it all because I did graduate from high school, and college, and have a masters degree. All the poor dupes that are listening to Obama have surely lost their higher reasoning powers, or are just blinded by their unreasonable hatred of Bush. Either way the election turns out, I win. I either get a good president (McCain) or I get to watch what Obama does to our country. I get to watch as morons keep making excuses for him as he launches his on-the-job training presidental career ... at our expense. Good job, Democrats. You have given us yet again a real winner. (That is as close as I can get to a pro-Obama statement.) And I really have no cause. We are simply in a lesser of two evils situation yet again, and John McCain is by far, b y f a r , the lesser of the two evils. I keep trying to hammer that in because people have closed their eyes and their ears, and have shut off their brains, as far as I can tell. It will be fun to watch those eys and ears pop open again, if I have to, IF Obama manages to keep the sham going for another few days.
1. No I don't think Obama has as much foreign diplomacy savvy as McCain. The thing is that I think McCain like an old dog has been trained wrong for the last thirty years and many of his ideas are irredemable. You know like Reverend Wright. He's a product of his times and he's not ever going to change but that doesn't make his POV valid today.
Obama being actually liked around the world is going to mask some of his inexperience anyway. You'll get to know (According to http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/10/20/biden-if-elected-the-world-will-test-obama-with-a-crisis/) I quoth (and have no idea why none of your right wingers didn't notice that Biden put the ball back in your court) "Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. . . .Remember I said it standing here if you don’t remember anything else I said. Watch, we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”
You don't get to talk about Democrats stripping rights. They both strip rights and the Republicans are a bigger threat to more rights. The Left is absolutely caustic to the 2nd, they aren't real good 10th. The Republicans are a threat to the 1st. It's not liberals and democrats who pass censorship laws. It wasn't Democrats that passed the Patriot Act effectively nulling the fourth. It wasn' the Democrats that opened Gitmo (and other secret bases) and by passed the 6th and 8th. Amendments. Granted if you really cared about the Constitution you'd vote Libertarian (that's Bobb Barr this year right?) but if you had to pick between the top two the only debate you could make for voting R is that without the second amendment the other nine don't matter. Course then you'd have to start defending Bill Ayers. . .and let's be honest. Cus your integrity depends on it. You could never support a man who attacked his own country, even if his own country was sending him off to die against his will.
Good to know. I was wondering whether to block you. I am what I am (education and all). I know it confuses liberals when an educated man does not agree with them, but my masters is and MS, not an MA.. Try to learn to live with it. I listen to public radio for as long as I can stand. There are usually four or five limp wristed liberals and maybe one token "conservative" like David Jerkoff. I can only stomach it for so long. I know conservative radio and TV are biased, but they are much more right on as far as I am concerned. They try much harder to tell the truth as I see it. Just as certain opinions define me as insane to you, holding the opposite opinion defines you as insane to me. Que sera sera.
The only ones I see throwing in racism is Obama and his followers. Blacks are following him for no other reason than his race, even if he is mostly caucasian. Tell me I am wrong and I will tell you that you are blind, deaf, and stupid. I think he is dishonest to pretend to be an African American. I have more American indian blood than he has black blood. I think blacks are foolish for voting for him simply for how he looks and not for what he stands for. I see that as a dangerous trend for this country. However, I do not oppose Obama for his color, race, or religion (which I think is rooted in Islam). I oppose him because of his philosophy and his lack of morals. I oppose him because he is totally inexperienced. The most impressive thing he has done is run for president, but even that is because the liberal media has made him their darling. I suspect that, true to their nature, they are building him up, forcing him on us as president, so they can then tear him down. Watch and see. I have seen it so many times before. The media did not want Reagan because they knew he was above reproach (no Monicas for him). Why do you think Democrats keep coming up with these morons every four years. It is almost laughable to watch if it were not so serious. Serious because they have come up with a total loser this time that could bring great harm to this nation considering our lunatic enemies at this point in history. All we need is a dufus like Obama, who thinks he is the messiah, with access to that little red button. God help us.
Yes, iron clad logic is hard to deal with, but you know I am right. I mean, I am never left.
