    Praise The Lord....It looks like Our Country is going to be Healed after all. President Obama with Hillary as His Secretary of State is a GOOD CHOICE for all. You have My Blessing Mr. Obama. I and My family are looking forward to the coming years of Your Presidency. Free At Last !!!!! The Harleyman

    Well Here it is September 8, 2008. It looks like John McCain will be Our Next President....And I was just starting to like this Obama Guy. Truth is if He can do 25% of the things He Promises to do- He would make a Good President. But He dropped the ball..... John McCain picked a Woman running Mate- A Mother of 5. I also have 5 Wonderful, Crazy Kids. And Her & John Have My Vote. I bet Obama wishes He had Hillary by his side now. To The Maverick and His Beautiful Mother of a Running Mate !!!!!!! The HarleyMan

    Yo' ............Maybe Hillary Should Run as an Independant !!!!!!! I don't know about You - But things sure are getting boring as we approach November. She should Run as a Third Candidate - And pick herself a Good Running Mate. Party On.............The HarleyMan

    This is The HarleyMan.........And Lets bring everything Up To Date Here: It's late July and Obama has yet to Pick a running Mate. It's a sure bet that He can't Win without Hillary as V.P. I like Him except I am concerned about His possible Arab or Muslim or Mid-Eastern ties. He's a Democrat....Yet He raised Campain Contributions of 52 Million Dollars in the Month of June alone. And over 280 Million the past several Month's. Much more than Hillary or John Mccain put together. So We have to Question- Who are making these Large Donations. Race to Me has nothing to do with it. Tiger Woods.....Wesley Snipes.....and Maybe Jesse Jackson wouls all make Good President's. But Who exactly is Barrack Hussein Obama ? So at This point in time I am Voting for John Mccain......He served in The Army and so did I......And Even though I am a Democrat and A Union Worker...........I am crossing Political Lines and Voting for John Mccain - A True American. I just HOPE that He is a Big improvement over Bush. Peace Out, The HarleyMan

    Every time I hear the people, especially women, put Hillary down I feel angry all over again at the Democrats who deserted her. I am trying hard to warm up to Obama, but Wexler, Eleanor Clift and all the men who complained that she reminded them of some unwanted female in their lives i don't want to vote for Obama.I never hear anyone complain about the candidate being male. It takes me back to the rotten '50s.

    Clinton, McCain and the B-word

    At a campaign event in South Carolina Monday, a female supporter asked John McCain: "How do we beat the ***?"

    If the Arizona senator objected to that particular characterization of Sen. Hillary Clinton, he didn't exactly say so.

    Instead, as the room erupted in laughter, McCain said he'd try to offer a "translation." Somebody in the audience shouted out, "I thought she was talking about my ex-wife." There was more laughter all around, and then McCain said: "That's an excellent question."

    McCain cited a recent Rasmussen poll showing him with a statistically insignificant two-point lead over Clinton, then finally got around to saying, "I respect Sen. Clinton, and I respect anyone who gets the nomination of the Democrat Party."

    And yes, as Talking Points Memo notes, that would be the same John McCain who immediately distanced himself from the comments of his own mother when she took a dig at Mitt Romney's Mormon faith

    Comment: IMPORTANT BULLETIN FOR ALL BLOGGERS ON THIS SITE:

    TO NEWSWEEK STAFF:

    This is to report that there is a FRAUD going on, on this site, in which bloggers are using the names of various bloggers (Obama supporters are most likely the culprits) who are fraudulently writing blogs that are deplorable and tagging them under other bloggers names (non-Obama supporters names). I officially reported such a fraudulent abusive use of fake postings that I just viewed on this site today that affected me personally. This is what it said in which the blogger fraudulently used my name as the poster:

    IT SAID THIS. I NEVER WROTE THIS. SO ALL OTHER POSTERS, ESPECIALLY FORMER HILLARY SUPPORTERS, BEWARE:

    Posted By: sharenews @ 06/11/2008 03:05:43

    Comment: I agree. So why do so many Obama supporters make him out to be a Messiah?

    I NEVER wrote the above comment or ANY mention of Obama being a Messiah. At this point I am ready to bring this abusive process that you are using on your site to FOX NEWS as I have done this before and they are very responsive. I have copied this report to send onto the media if I dont see a stop to the smearing of my name or others on this site moving forward!

    if you buy into the obama thing then you will have buyers remorse in 2010

    How destructive to the U.S. economy would a Barack Obama presidency be?

    An exclusive Newsmax analysis warns: There could be a very rough time ahead.

    Beneath Obama's flowery rhetoric lies a dangerous economic plan that will wreak havoc on the American economy.

    Obama plans to return to the failed policies of high taxation coupled with an expansion of government spending.

    Worse, Obama says he is absolutely committed to almost doubling the capital gains rate ??? something he will easily accomplish with a Democrat Congress.

    In the coming months ??? when investors realize that Obama will raise the cap gains rate ??? there could be a stampede of asset sales as investors rush to take their profits now to avoid Obama's doubling of the tax rates next year.

    All of these issues and more are explored in Newsmax magazine's special report "Obamanomics ??? the Coming Tax-and-Spend Nightmare," by Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund.

    This Newsmax magazine special report gives Americans the first in-depth look at the Democratic presidential candidate's likely strategies ??? and how they will affect not just the larger economy, but your personal wealth as well.

    Indeed, Obama makes no bones about his plans to go on a tax rampage. Not only would he increase the capital-gains tax rate from 15 percent to as much as 28 percent, he wants to allow the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010, which effectively raises taxes on Americans by tens of billions of dollars.

    He also wants to do away with the $102,000 FICA payroll tax cap, which means anyone making over $102,000 would pay an additional 7 percent in taxes on earned income.

    And the loan dividend tax rate George Bush implemented? Under President Obama it will be DOA!

    Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. She won the key swing states a candidate must carry in the general election. Her problem was that she didn't have the DNC in her back pocket like Obama did !!

    Her 18 million voters are doing one of three things, 1) vote McCain 2) sign up Independent or 3) write in

    • Posted By: griffin1 @ 06/06/2008 9:41:21 AM

      liar liar, don't say her 18 million supporters will do that, have you seen some supporters on the news lately they are backing Obama. So if you want to flip flop over to another party to go against everything your candidate Hillary stands for, you go do that. You are must likely a republican anyone posing as a democrat. You know that has been going on lately on these blogs, We have been warned about this. So stop trying to convince people that all Hillary supporters have your view. YOUR LYING. My chat who has thousands signed up states they will support Obama, so stop with the 18 million lie -PLEASE it wont happen, we seek change over you trying to divide the party for personal reasons. Your feeling are that hurt Hillary loss, I cant wait until tomorrow when she announces her support of the party. GOOD BYE
      OBAMA 08'

You need to be careful who you spout your crap to. You dont know me, but I've been kickin your weasel butt since grade school.

I am blight - I am anger - I am tired - I am poor - I am happy to stop you and ready to make the sacrifice to give you the insight to see inside my twisted mind. I am watching you - I am your legeon - you are now mine to own if I whimmsicaly choose to. I surround you. Dont fu*k with crazy people. You may get what you wish for. Nods to The Harleyman

        Hi Griffin,

        Don't let these idiots get to you CC has always only spread hate they know nothing else. We also as you have noted several new posters, all claiming to be Clinton supporters and all trying to turn others to vote McCaine and spreading the hate.

        Ignore them. They are probably McCaine supporters. What everyone needs to understand that voting for McCain does nothing for Clinton's cause, since their beliefs are totally opposite.

        • Posted By: griffin1 @ 06/06/2008 3:19:03 PM

          your right, I will take it easy

    • Posted By: Zig Zag @ 06/07/2008 1:27:05 AM

      Dude, that argument is so old. If you are going to drive a wedge between the Obama and Clinton supporters, you really need to get some new material from your Republican handlers.

  • Posted By: Zig Zag @ 06/07/2008 8:15:05 PM

    I have a suggestion for all the Clinton supporters who say they are going to vote for McCain. Go to the following website address for the Wall Street Journal:

    http://online.wsj.com/public/page/election2008.html?mod=2_1309

    At the top of the page, you'll see cartoon charcters of McCain and Obama along with a link that says "See An Interactive Graphic." If you click on that link you'll see a very easy to read summary on the differences between McCain and Obama on various topics. Remember, with the excpetion of health care, Clinton's polilcies are very similar to Obama's. Even on health care, Obama's policy is closer to Clinton's than McCain's.

    Try to take a moment and put aside any emotional response and read the differences for each topic. When you're finished, ask yourself objectively and without emotion who's policies you agree with more. If the answer is Obama, then try to at least keep an open mind as the campaign plays out. With emotions still high, no one expects you to endorse Obama at this point - just try to keep an open mind and focus on the policies rather than the personalities, because that is really what is most important.

    Just a suggestion.

  • Posted By: yourpissinmeoff @ 06/07/2008 2:03:57 PM

    Democrats for Mc Cain in 2008 and Hillary in 2012. You wont win with out us and just can't force us to vote for your candidate. Such is life and freedom of choice and freedom of speech. Oh did you know the Obama girl is sponsered by Go Daddy? The whole thing stinks. and the Democratic party is no longer for the people. fu2dnc

    • Posted By: Zig Zag @ 06/07/2008 3:11:12 PM

      Yeah, that makes a lot of sense - let's have the country suffer another 4 years, just like the last eight, so Hillary can be president in 2012 (which, by the way, probably wouldn't happen anyway)

      • Posted By: yourpissinmeoff @ 06/07/2008 5:32:42 PM

        Hey Nig Nag, lets make a bet. I bet the next VP will be Mc White. What have you got to loose. Let Obama pick Clinton, its better for his race for the presidency than say spike lee.... right? Am I right? I got a million of them OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FU2NIGNAGDUDE

  • Posted By: mantra888 @ 06/07/2008 4:17:29 PM

    Are we american so hypocrite that it needs an option of offering vp and be rejected in order to save face or political future. This kind of behavior is exactly what drive the world to chaos. Having both in the ticket could be a worse dance that I can forsee to have so many misteps and tumble down.

I'll take the heat. You need someone to grieve over man and I think they will provide for you. Just keep talking smack about how much you hate Hillary and Viola. Some other pissed off American will raise his or her gun to accomdate you. Then you and yours can sit by and say how if maybe everyone had just done as you demanded... we wouldn't be in this position. Cause you dude are right. I am a stupid average white person with a bad attitude and a free speech hardon like no other. You on the other hand are an educated person of color right? (how did he know!) You need a martyr. MLK street can become BHO avenue and we can have national negro apreciation day where you can be rewarded for all the hard work youve done to make this country a great place to live and blog.

You cant elect a blackman with a bullet in head..... you can't elect a blackman even after he is dead......... you stupid average white folk better watch your step instead.....OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH you cant elect a blackman with a bullet in his head.

    • Posted By: Zig Zag @ 06/07/2008 3:12:34 PM

      Well, I am sorry that your angerness and bitterness has also made you stupid.

  • Posted By: yourpissinmeoff @ 06/07/2008 2:32:30 PM

    Wow I just read some of the comments from all the pissed off Obamamaniacs. Its the *** like that that will prompt the shot heard around the world. You gutless wonders starting *** for shits sake will get a man killed for it. I dont think BHO wants you in his corner hiding behind him, but rather infront of him to take the first hit brought on by your tireless tyrades of hatred. Notice Hillary suspended her campaign and didn't quit? When the blackman hits the floor and the wall and most likely the ceiling too, she will wash the brains away and becom the president. Then all you hatefull little bastards will have a martyr that you can tell your probation officers about. LOL Like that? I got a million of them. Oh you can't vote for a blackman who is buried underground..... come on sing along with me..... Oh you can't vote for a blackman who is dead and buried underground. He started with a flag pin and flip of the finger. Killing babies and taking bribes done sealed his fate that day........... come now just the black folk........

    If you changed to republican just because Obama beat Clinton, then were you really a democrat in the first place, like it or not, he won and she lost, I was always thought it was "supposed" to be what was best for the party-but that would also explain why the democratic party has suck a hard time being in charge in the first place

  • Posted By: yorkour @ 06/07/2008 12:35:06 PM

    I am very sorry for having to change my voting to the republican party for the first time in all my years of voting
    so it doesn't matter who gets the VP spot
