Bush was the biggest mistake the American voters have ever made and we will be regreting it for generations to come.
Jr and the Devil (Bush & Cheney) are a detriment to The United States and our Constitution
To be sure the signers of the Declaration of Independence represented the enfranchised classes of Englishmen, but they also knew the difference between a republic and a kingdom and they understood the significance of a government based on a written consititution. Writing under a pseudonym in the Boston Gazette in 1774, John Adams both asserted the English origins of the new republic and its aspiration to something different when he famously quoted the English republican theorist James Harrington's call for an "Empire Of Laws And Not Of Men," strategically substituting the word "government" for Harrington's "empire." We have in the last seven years seen a sustained and often successful effort to replace that government of laws with something closer to the royal prerogative against which Harrington wrote in 1656.
As I look at and read your post I do see some resemblance of sense in your distorted view of the world in which you believe that as most people who live the tainted life of a right wing conservative deeply rooted in the Hamilton faction, that the invasion/occupation was not a lie made up to protect the Us Oil Industries interest in the Middle East.
A fool to be made in his own skin is by his own hand. You are just a trumpeter for antiquated ideals that have seen there day. We have been played as pawns as well as you have for to long. Some people just don't get it.
It is us The American people who are the agents of change and Barack Obama is the best that we have in that effort to get it. Get It? Well I doubt it!

You can''t have Change without sacrafice- what are you willing to sacrafice? Obama wants your soul. MCCAIN wants REAL CHANGE without the sacrafice of taxing you. Which do you prefer?

Obama wantto reutrn the Soul of this country that has been dripped dry by the Bush Klan. Obama will not be "TAXING" me, or more than 85% of Americans, we don't make that much money...duh.
McCain wants "REAL WAR FOR OIL" and more "REAL DEAD AMERICAN CHILDREN" McCain wants MORE WAR YEARS and MORE BBUSH POLICIES....which do you prefer?-
Posted By: RetiredMarine @ 07/07/2008 8:10:55 PM
Our country has never been a socialist country. How can we be returning to something that we never intended to be in the first place. Bush hasn't drained the soul, McCain doesn't want our children dead. Your tired rhetoric is nothing but fear mongering.
YOU WILL BE TAXED - don't fool yourself there. You may not think you make much money now, but when the wealthy are robbed of their works, they become poor, or at least you become "equivalent" with them. Now you are the rich... it is a vicious circle. The soviets did the same thing. They went to socialism, took farm land away from the land owners and gave it to the "poor". When the poor didn't produce food the same way their predecessors did, the land was taken away from them. Then they were complaining that the state took from them (yet never complained when it was taken from someone else to be given to them). This type of system is a vicious circle where the only winners are government officials who are corrupt and "exempt" from such decisions.
One you allow a government to reign over you, you start to slowly lose everything - including your freedom-
Posted By: NewsWkDickG @ 07/07/2008 9:46:33 PM
You really miss the point. The only winners for the last eight years have been Special Interests and a select few (including Bush, Cheney and group who now look to really get pay back after leaving office, Bush has even bragged about it) all while the majority are given only apathy, subterfuge and the costs. You are right that we don't need big government but we sure do need an honest government sincerely interested in the people - that is the change we really need. Not more of the same with McCain.
-
Posted By: RetiredMarine @ 07/08/2008 11:29:37 AM
Agreed - we need honest government. This is where the US people need to hold our congressmen and senators accountable. They are supposed to represent us, not special interest groups. Yes special interest groups are the only winners, the rest of us lost out for example on cost of fuel because some fool thinks an animal will be distrubed if a pipe line exists in its area... It isn't the President who is to blame (Democrat or republican), it is our other elected officials who have let us down. That is where the focus should be. During the past 8 years, if you want to look honestly, it has been a battle from congress stopping progress. They have not liked Bush from the beginning and have fought at every turn. They add pork (both parties) in order to get things passed that otherwise couldn't stand on their own merits. It is not the President in these day to day problems, it is congress. When we hold them accountable and scrutinize their votes on issues, then maybe honesty will start to return. If the representative is NOT representing us, we should get him/her out of office. Whether it be the next vote, or if we don't want them screwing things up more - there should be a way to remove them from office earlier (like impeachment). After all, how many times does congress call for impeachment of a president at the drop of a hat? The same should apply towards them. They are actually the biggest problem in America. When we realize their failure instead of blaming a President, then we can start taking control of our country back.
-
Posted By: NewsWkDickG @ 07/08/2008 1:00:52 PM
Again well said but lacking in an honest presentation of the facts. For six of the last eight years Bush had a loyal majority in the congress and got away with a whole lot. Even now the Democratic majority is too narrow to override the President's vetoes. The President and the Republican Party are very definitely the blame for so much of what has transpired and always with the benefit to Special Interests and a select few. To try to minimize all of that is much like the deception they continually try to sell.

The issue flip-flopping will pale in comparison to Obama's "close 20 year relationship" with a bigot named Reverand Wright. And the good reverand's "close relationship" with one of America's biggest racists, Louis Farrakhan. Attention people: Birds of a Feather. And most of America is starting to figure it out. Especially Hillary fans and Jewish voters. Remember, this is the same nation that re-elected a very unpopular George Bush only 3 1/2 years ago during an unpopular war. McCain will win this election.

I've noticed several posted comments that exhibit strong support for John McCain without demonstrating any objectivity. I feel I can say that because what they depend on is simply name calling and irrational character assassination of Barack Obama while also trying to create an unjustified superior image of John McCain. They can be very crude or more subtle and may even exhibit some level of knowledge but always fail to deal with reality. They are very persistent and show an irrational bias that seems more committed than just being an average voter who has made a conscious decision, more like someone who is affiliated, which is a possibility that would explain the lack of objectivity. It is usual that they will only address the over all picture with sweeping accusations of Obama and similarly unmerited general credits for McCain, freely excusing the War in Iraq and other discredits as single issues of no/little importance. They want to talk about Barak???s supposed limited experience and McCain???s military and vaster senate experience as if those items had far more weight than reality justifies. They purposely neglect addressing the many issues that have been so important over the last eight years and that have shown the Bush-Cheney administration completely focused, with the strong and full support of the Republican party (including John McCain), on solely providing benefit to Special Interests and a select few (who return support and considerations) while arrogantly giving the majority apathy, subterfuge and the costs. They use blanket accusations like Democrats raise taxes, have give away programs and are big government who over spends but again they neglect reality in not admitting that, even without considering the war, that the Bush administration has out spent, including more 'pork', than any previous administration, has drastically neglected improving infrastructure and has failed numerous times, like with the Katrina fiasco, while always benefiting the same few.

Appears Hussein is a man of character, after all. I just picked up this thank you letter due to be released across the country, to all his supporters. I apologize for all my negative comments. He may well be the Messiah...........
My fellow Americans:
As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor's relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change.
I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush's youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.
I would also like to thank the Kennedy's for coming out in support of me. There's a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy killed a female employee with whom he was having an extra marital affair and who was pregnant with his child. And I'm not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively.
And I'd like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.
Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement, but because I make people feel good.
Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt. I say things that sound meaningful, but don't really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.
Americans are tired of thinking. It's time to shut down the brain and open up the heart. So when you go to vote, remember don't think, just do. And do it for me.
Thank You.
Barack Hussein Obama,
NOBAMA!!!-

Continued From Above:
To that effect, and even though there are many who come close, I can't name another presidential-quality politician who's shown himself to be better suited to achieve these broad goals. Despite how we feel about individual issues like FISA or NAFTA, I think most of us with liberal or progressive tendencies can agree that we have a candidate here who is going to succeed on these challenges, while potentially forming a long-range coalition of support that could one day result in a purely progressive netroots candidate.
Those of us who have been strapped into this dark ride -- arms and legs locked into the tram, following these crimes and scandals and unconstitutional measures for too long... we've been damaged a little. We've been round-house kicked in the throat once too often. Sometimes by members of our own party. So it makes sense when some of us express shock or disillusionment at the actions of a politician regardless of their party affiliation. Besides, there's nothing wrong with criticizing the friendlies (though we're told that, politically, it might be wiser to keep our powder dry until after Senator McBush is soundly defeated). But what has served to keep me sane during these last weeks -- or saner -- has been the broad-stroke recollection of why, irrespective of the finer points, I decided to back this guy named Barack Obama for president in the first place.
If we're able to deliver the mandate he'll require in November -- which means a solid electoral college victory and expectations-defying down-ballot victories -- Senator Obama will help to vindicate our long-suffering, dark ride generation and, thusly, our time in American history -- a time that seems to be so perfectly summarized in thumbnail-form by this current Summer of Awful. If we can keep our attention focused on the big ideas that attracted us to the senator in the first place, he will make us proud.-
Posted By: Concerned Ctzn @ 07/07/2008 6:55:18 PM
Well said, but as a moderate (who leans to the right), I couldn't disagree with you more!
Please BO supporters open your eyes! This guy will say everything and anything to get your votes. I know that I joke around a lot, sometimes too much. But electing our next President is no joke!! Sorry for being so blunt here, but I'm starting to see this guy like a chronic abusive husband that keeps telling his wife over and over again that I do whatever it takes to make things right. This guy is unbelievable! So sly he scares me.
I try not to talk about and/or push religion on anyone, but please Lord, let the truth be known! This guy is not who he claims or seems to be.
I'm pretty much of the same opinion of a lot of other folks her: I do not think for a second that JM's a saint, but he's a far better choice than BO in terms of his centrist backround and overall experience.
May God bless "OUR" WORLD!!!-

In other cases, they are notable for their collaboration with Obama in controversial or unethical activities. In all cases, they offer a window into Barack Obama's values and priorities.

OK, here we go AGAIN...
After BARELY passing the Naval Academy, McCain's shows his LACK of desire to TRULY serve his country by crashing 5 fighter planes in his BRIEF 20hrs of combat before being shot down. Upon his capture McCain immediately and with such "bravery" announced his father was an Admiral, knowing they would not harm him if he was 'important", and according to the 2 American commanders who were in the same camp at the same time as McCain, NO AMERICANS WERE TORTURED in that camp...including McCian. The VC had a very special feeling for McCain and special name to go along with that feeling, he was called "SONG BIRD" because as soon as he was captured he began to sing.
Then some years later at the begining of his "political career" he stood before American POWs in Az and SWORE he would NEVER use his "ststus" for political gain...lol, yeah he really held up that deal.
Than came the 80's (not his age) and the "Keating 5" you can google that one, to se McCain's part in the scandal.
and the list goes on...
His involvement with Hagee, his involvement with Cheney, his conection to almost EVERYTHING BUSH, his 100yrs of WAR FOR OIL, his complete ignorance on the economy, his silly gas tax scam that would have cost hundreds thoussands of US jobs, and we still would have paid...he still clings to that one.
There is plenty more he has such a LONG record...of CORRUPTION and FLIP FLOPPING, but just with what I have posted here...you need more?

ObamaramaPandering:
In politics, pandering is when Obama portrays views to fit in line with a certain crowd of voters (Jewish, blue collar, NRA, etc.) in an attempt to impress, when often, these are not the candidate's true beliefs. Obama many times may engage in pandering out of desperation if he is has certain segments of voters not flocking to his special Kool-aid drinking cult groups or when he starts to lose ground on certain issues, proposed plans, etc. Sometimes this can happen twice in the same day about the same topic depending on how different the audience is that he is pandering to.-

Comment: Barack Obama had the right as a U.S. Senator to go to look at Iraq. He did not. Then, one of his big vote getters was a promise to get us the hell out of Iraq. Now, nominated, he plans to go to Iraq to see if he needs to change his mind. I voted for him principally because he promised to get us the hell out of there. If he goes there and comes back to endorse staying there, then I reserve the right to flush my Obama vote down the toilet.
HERES PROOF THAT THE OBAMA MESSIAH IS FALLING APART!-
Posted By: sharenews @ 07/06/2008 2:10:25 AM
Yeah, and the main reason for Obama getting his skinny but over to Iraq is due to McCain saying: Nah, nah ....nah, nah, nah. You have only been there once Obama , over 900+ days back with no talk of going over to Iraq to check out the real deal of where things stand by talking to the generals/leaders on the ground out there fighting this war on terrorism. Now Obama is going to Iraq. Well, thank you Mr. McCain for getting Obama to rise to the ocassion to find out first hand what conditions are over in Iraq. And oh, yeah, and thank you for giving me (Obama) for getting my little loophole in now given I might actually find out that a pullout in exactly 16 mos may be too rash a timeline (but at least tooting that steadfast timeline got me the democratic nomination). Geesh..

This tired over used flip-flop charge worked so well for the GOP in the last election, they just drug it back out and started using it again. It is a tactic people, and so many are falling for it just like before. Sen. Obama is not flipping he is simply being logical and intelligent. Why in the world would we want him to freeze his thinking on any given subject, simply because he had an idea or a plan once and it sounded good to him so he will just hold fast to it while ignoring new information that may require adopting a new plan or adjusting the one he has. If I am not mistaken, our current President prone to this kind of thinking and look what it has done for us!

We could wait a lifetime for a skeleton key presidential nominee to come along who flawlessly interfaces with each of our pet issues, and, consequently, we'd probably die a politically disappointed and overly cynical death.
What attracted me to Senator Obama's candidacy wasn't that he was going to evolve into some kind of liberal messiah who I would agree with all the time. He never really made any promises of that sort, and it was clear -- especially to Kucinich and Edwards supporters -- that Senator Obama wasn't entirely in line with what are generally considered to be netroots or progressive causes. Rather, he's always been the pragmatic liberal whose every slogan and statement -- often employing the collective pronoun "we" -- seeks common ground between deep blue and blood red. He's the liberal who this week, while simultaneously reaching out to evangelical voters, issued an unequivocal statement of opposition against any constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage. That's textbook Obama.
After I read the letter of support he sent to the Alice B. Toklas LGBT Democratic Club, I remembered why I chose to support the senator's campaign -- and why it evolved into an enthusiasm for a politician that I've never quite experienced in my adult life. So why then...? In the simplest terms possible, choosing to support Senator Obama has never been about issues, but rather, it's always been about, 1) electing a thoughtful, smart president we can reference with pride -- a president who won't flatly embarrass us every damn day, and 2) electing a president who can inspire and negotiate the necessary support he'll need to roll back the darkness of the Bush years.

UH-OHHHHHH.....Sounds like a GOP implosion......
Conservatives to battle McCain over platform!
Activists don???t want his views on warming, stem cells, other issues adopted!
Washington Post
updated 12:21 a.m. ET, Mon., July. 7, 2008
"Conservative activists are preparing to do battle with allies of Sen. John McCain in advance of September's Republican National Convention, hoping to prevent his views on global warming, immigration, stem cell research and campaign finance from becoming enshrined in the party's official declaration of principles.
McCain has not yet signaled the changes he plans to make in the GOP platform, but many conservatives say they fear wholesale revisions could emerge as candidate McCain seeks to put his stamp on a document that currently reflects the policies and principles of President Bush. "

Not only will he lose, but ol' McC won't have a "political" home after November.
BTW, has anyone seen the Electoral Map? Obama leading 238 to 163.....OUCH!!!!!

Well, well, well if it's not retardmarryanne, confused citizen, willneverVETOobama, what a sad bunch of sheep, where is your shepard, CornHiolyO? For you are still lead astray...
NO, repeat NO, none of the 25,000 pieces of weapons, ammunittion, and explossives were from IRAN!!! NOT ONE!!! Now even though the US weapons EXPERT inspectors said NONE were from Iran and teh "press conference" was canceled immediately, you still have the likes of Judas Lieberman, Jon Kyle, john McCain, George Bush, LYING TO YOU!!! And like good little sheep you eat what ever you are fed.
McCain is a JOKE! If he wants to end the "debate" abouthis experience, OPEN THE FILE! Sweet little "SONG BIRD" let's have a look at your 32 propaganda films, or maybe the 5 crashed fighter panes, how about just a look at your "grade point average" whle in the Naval Academy..hmmm?
If you are NOT asking people to die for NO GOOD REASON...like OIL! It matters NOT if you have "served", if you are just in your cause, and you seek advice of true military leaders, LEGAL, HONESTY, and GOOD choices can be made...If you are a stuborn a$$, people die, over 4500 so far.
What exactly do you THINK or imagine you are "protecting anybody from?..the brown boogeymen? give me a break.
I'm fine without you protecting me from YOUR PHOBIAS...ok, alllrighty then.
McCain is the biggest flip flopper and overall loser there is, search "McCain v. McCain on YouTube, it spans years weeks days, hours, and minutes...he flips on himself in11 minutes, he does NOT know what a Kurd is, he is confused by sunni and shia, who will he kill there? Hopefull teh right "brown guys". He's too coinfused better go into Iran,yeah that's the trick. If Bush starts another WAR just wo win the election, it will be the END OF McCain as we know him, please, (if wecould only do it without killing more of our children)bring it on you f@$king dick, GW are you ALL truly so DESRERATE, you would go to a THIRD WARjust to try and win four more years of BUSH? YOU SICK F@#KS!
McCain teh flip flopping NON-HERO! 08 or 80 you choose lol-
Posted By: RetiredMarine @ 07/03/2008 2:57:34 PM
Hardly a brain davidson.... well well, back at it huh? Lets talk flip flopping shall we... Obama can't keep his policies straight for a week without flip flopping yet you complain that McCain changed after years and world situations changed. I like the way you will leave Obama out of your rants in an attempt to divert the truth. Same old HD.... You mention deaths... again that has been addressed before. Why is it you aren't outraged about your buddy Clinton doing nothing - which between the terrorist attacks during his administration, and 9-11 which resulted due to our inaction, cause more deaths than this entire war. Why do those deaths not count for something in your rants? Either way, people have died. At least the ones in the military knew what they were getting into. War for OIL? that same rhetoric is beyond stupid and pathetic. If it were a war for oil, do you think we would be paying this much? How do you explain the oil contracts going to countries who didn't liberate Iraq from a tyrant and didn't put money into their country? Yep, same tired crap. Only consistent oil blame could go to Gore and his democrat followers who at one time made the comment that the government should artificially inflate the cost of oil so it cost $5 a gallon for gas. Well your global warming hero and his cronies seem to almost have hit their goal.
There are so many counters to your stupidity it is mind boggling. I don't care much for McCain, but Obama is much worse - this idiot wants to change our entire American way of life into that adopted by socialist countries. And he has mindless idiots like you touting his horn. If you want that... denounce your citizenship and move to a different country where these policies are already in place and leave us freedom loving people alone.-
Posted By: loriw @ 07/03/2008 7:33:31 PM
I agree with you RetiredMarine. This week they were talking on the news about how( now that gas is so expensive) the demand is down and they expect the prices to come down in response. Supply and demand is still the biggest driver of the gas/oil prices.
I talked to yet another soldier yesterday, asked him if he felt we should pull our troops out. He had been to Iraq so I felt he was qualified to give and opinion. He said if we pull out before we have accomplished what we went to accomplish then those soldiers who died have died in vain. I have yet to talk to one person who has been to Iraq that disagrees. Sadly more people are concerned about the economy than the war (and yes, I know there is a relationship there) but I think too many Americans are imposing there personal anti-war opinions on our military and not listening to those who are there and have been there. I don't want to see any of our soldiers lose their lives, I have a son-in-law there and I want him to get home safely. But I also recognize that this is a voluntary military and these people volunteered because they wanted to. My son-in-law volunteered as soon as he was 18 and it was because of 9/11 that he did enlist.
So, folks, my suggestion is that you talk to more people who have served over in Iraq before making judgements on prematurely pulling our troops back home. Write letters or e-mails with the troops serving. Get their opinions. I heard that CNN had a blog for troops to weigh in on this subject but when I went to their blogs I couldn't find it. I hope it exists because every one talks about the troops but few are talking to the troops. I think their opinions on this subject count more than ours. I hope they are being supplied with ballots to vote in the election in November.-
Posted By: HDavidson @ 07/04/2008 2:50:31 AM
Lori your so full of sh!t, let me show you what I mean...
A yeah I like talked to ALL of the troops over in Iraq and they all want to end this WAR FOR OIL, no seriously I just talked to them yesterday and that's what they said. They said they don't understand WHY BUSH and MCCAIN do not want to go after Bin Laden, except that BIN LADEN is a friend of the BUSH family.
AND YES!!! I believe gas prices are still out of control, why would any of the OIL COMPANIES including the ones BUSH"S DAD OWNS, lower their prices, because they care?...give me a break, they are gonna make their money and keep making their money until the wells run dry...literally...god you sheeple are blind.
SEACAT ZAPATA!!! google it, bush owned off the coast of KUWAIT, where was that first gulf war?
NEXT....-
Posted By: HDavidson @ 07/04/2008 3:03:43 AM
Oh and Lori, soldiers are ALWAYS under a "GAG" order, they can not speak out, under fear of punishment. Some may, but mostly what you will hear is the same tired TALKING POINTS, why do you think soldiers were banned from YouTube and such, they were showing what BUSH/McCain do not want us to see...the TRUTH.
My Brother-inlaw is a Warrant Offider in the Marines and has served 5 tours so far, he has a slightly diffenert view than those "soldiers" you speak to have, as does my son, home now but expected to return soon, and my two cousins, both seriously injured in this conflict, 1 Marine, 1 Army(paratrooper).
So stop with the bogus qualifier statements, if YOU have your OWN oppinion, based on some provable facts, please enlighten us, otherwise, leave it to the big kids to play the game, ok ;)-
Posted By: loriw @ 07/04/2008 2:10:15 PM
Sorry that you feel that my comments are somehow less valuable then mine. Last I checked this is a country which respects free speech and that is what these blogs are all about. As for the "gag order" you spoke about....the soldiers i have spoken to seemed forthcoming and sincere, I simply ask the question "do you think we should pull out of Iraq?" and they seemed to give me honest answers. BTW. My son-in-law is in the Green Zone so I too have a vested interest in this war.

Lori, don't pay any attention to HD. He is intolerant of other ideas than his own (sounds kind of a socialist/communist/fascist attitude now doesn't it). At any rate, he blabs off what he has no idea about. I too have been there, I have lost friends there, and not a one of us has ever had a "gag order" on us as he likes to state. Nor does anyone I know who has been there think we should pull out. HD makes comments as if to try to make you believe he is some authority on the subject. These are the continuous examples of lies you will get from people so far left that they have no sense of right or wrong oi even reality. Just ignore him

Clinton let him get away? So he should have killed the Saudi Prince who private jet was there at the same time (i think yes he should have) but that is why the MILITARY not Clinton did not strike when they had the chance...idiot, I feel like your fricken history teacher, your so full of TALKING POINTS you can tell your head from mccain's a$$.
You trying to use the old well with age comes knowledge bs? McCain does NOT know what a KURD is, he is still coonfused by suinni/shia, and can't stop contradicting himself, even within a 11minute time span on 1 TV show, LIVE! He is truly a FISH OUT OF WATER, You desperate, whinning babies can try all you like, we are NOT budging, WE back our candidate, and we will see him through to VICTORY!!!
I see you still choose NOT to read the Bergner report...SHEEP! Yout to loriSHEEPlY, educate yourself by REALLY trying not just going to FOX NOISE and Douche Limbaugh, or shut the F up.
Enough TALKING POINTS, McCain is MORE WAR YEARS and he will completely finish that which BUSH has started over the last 8yrs, our economy DEAD our children DEAD, everything this country ever stood for GONE, thanks to your crying daddy's boy SONG BIRD McCain.

HD - I just love it when you post because your rantings continue to show to the world your own desperation and lack of intelligence. I like the "history teacher" thing by the way... that is a good laugh. At any rate, your continuation of not really coming up with anything intelligent to say, and constant name calling against those whose opinion differs from you only serves to show everyone your ignorance.... so keep it up. I won't even address your "historical inaccuracies" because it would do no good. It is quite obvious that you haven't been out in the world, you have only been paying attention to what you are told on the TV. Maybe try watching ALL media channels for your news. You blast at Fox and regurgitate the Communist News Network (CNN) as if it were the gospel. Come off your drug induced coma and pay attention to world events. You are so easily steered by what the media agenda wants to tell you. Maybe instead of lashing out at those whose opinion differs from yours by name calling, try stating facts to support your beliefs. That is at least respectable. The way you act towards people with different ideas is exactly what I see constantly by democrats ... intolerance. (Yet another reason for my searing hatred of party politics)

Did you know McCain has had 4 different campaign managers? McCain just can't get it right. He keeps changing managers, as if it is their fault that he can not succeed. Fact is, McCain is NOT a good candidate.
After his first run at the Presidency when he got swift boated by Bush, his manager John Weaver got McCain to play "Maverick" and cross party lines to become a NeoLiberal. McCain almost changed parties and became a Democrat and Kerry's running mate, but at the 11th hour he switched horses again and hired Terry Nelson to manage him. Nelson is a strong GOP establishmentarianist, and got McCain to throw himself behind Bush, with promises of the GOP giving him the 2008 nomination. But Nelson didn't last, because the strategy failed. The right wing was suspicious of McCain because McCain voted against abortion, for gay rights and for gun control during his "maverick" phase. They didn't know if they could trust him. Also, Nelson spent money hand over fist, nearly bankrupting McCain's campaign. So he replaced him with Rick Davis, who was at the helm for the past year. Davis is a fiscal conservative, made McCain sell that expensive big bus, and made McCain mind his manners and act polite in public. But now, Davis has been fired too. Why? Because McCain is getting desperate, and the gloves are coming off. His new manager is Steve Schmidt, a Rove disciple and former Rove employee. McCain has also hired Nicole Wallace and Greg Jenkins to head his "Communications Team." Nic and Greg are also former Rove employees, masters of the art of swift boat smear campaigns. McCain going to let the Rove bulldogs off the leash. Look out, America, this is going to get ugly.
My prediction: the 20% of America that is made up of ignorant jingoists will be cheering to see Rove's bloody tactics. But you know what? They were all going to vote for McCain anyway. The rest of America will be so disgusted by the hatchet work of the NeoCons that they will vote AGAINST McCain.
The "last resort" tactic of the GOP to win this election will be to bomb Iran, starting another war. Mark my words, if McCain is not doing well in September, Bush will bomb Iran. He is already setting the stage for this, by saying that Iran has nuclear weapons, even thought inspections by the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency have both found NO EVIDENCE of nuclear weapons. REMIND YOU OF ANYTHING? It's the fake "weapons of mass destruction" all over again.
Did you know that on June 26, Bush, very quietly, declared a state of National Emergency? During a National Emergency the President can DECLARE WAR without waiting for the approval of Congress.
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2008/06/20080626-4.html
It is going to be a very bumpy ride, America, so hold on, and DON'T LET BUSH AND ROVE STEAL ANOTHER ELECTION. I wouldn't mind so much if they were good for the economy, but let's face it, they are destroying America.-

It becomes our business because that is what he/she claims to be to show "credibility" to his/her posts.
Personally I think Nins has some business (Nins claims to have 2 businesses) that would benefit or profit from something that Sen. Obama is promoting. Can't figure out exactly what yet.
So it goes to motive....if Nins is a plant he/she is paid by someone to promote an agenda.-

WOW! what a statement, some busines that would benefit from Obama winning...LMAO...that everybody in this country, exceptmaybe the BUSH CLAN, they might be a little bummed...lol.
I agree with Nin, it's about keeping people like Retardmarryanne in check, countering every TALKING POINT with oh I don;t know, FACTS!!!
You see Bush/McCain supporters are not the only ones feeling "desperation", theirs is just different.
Our "desperation" is for somebody, intelligent, dignified, and mature, to take hold and begin to build this nation to what has always been meant to be, that is what we are desperate for. The nice thing is, that time is now, and OBAMA is the one for the job. Not the lessor of two evils as some would like to paint it, but the right person for the job.
So sit back, as it is you who are now the "minority", reflect on why you TRULY feel the way you do about Obama or McCain for that matter, search your feelings and come to terms with who you are, do thatand all will be well for you, do it not, and suffer like Retardmarryanne, confused citizen, CornHolyO, etc...-

Obama is the one for the job? You mean the one who has had a whole three years in the Senate? The one who has never served in the military? The one who sat for how many years in a racist church, listening to racist remarks from the pulpit, and writing his own racist remarks in "Audacity"?

Hi Pia, Well, Id usually say that of course it is none of anyones business. And it probably still isn???t. But when someone (Nins) offers up some personal information (e.g. her being a doctor, CEO/owns two businesses, etc.) in her posts (and in other re-posts) to bloggers who have interacted with her on this site, it does stir up some curiosity about what she blogs / how much she blogs, given the personal info some regular bloggers are aware of from her own posts. But yeah, I for one do not really need to know any details . . .just chalk it up to curiosity, at least on my part with Nins.
PS: I agree about more power to her to be able to own 2 businesses and being a doctor. A definitely significant accomplishment (bigger than anything Obama has accomplished,???ohhhhhhhh, I didn???t mean that. I just have this Obama supporter sitting behind me right now in a recliner watching me respond to your statement. LMAO.

Nins, you're such a paid, left-wing spin-doctor it's not even funny anymore. The truth is "W" has been itching and secretly pushing for military action against Iran long before McCain secured the GOP Nomination. For reasons none of us little people will ever be privy to. Legacy? For Israel? For Oil? Quest for more stability in the M.E.? Who knows? Bottom line is I really don't think the Bushies wanted John to win the GOP nom. So don't suggest or imply that JM is somehow conspiring with W to attack Iran. Now he may agree with a strike/attack, for legitimate reasons that are unknown to us, but that doesn't automatically mean he's gets his jollies over wars.
Again, I really don't think that the Bushies particularly like Mc. If you recall, from the very beginning (even before) the primaries started W--even the First Lady--were touting Hills as the most qualified candidate to be our next CIC. Huh? A Repub saying good things about a Dem. Go figure! I've been saying this for months, picking our next Prez has nothing to do with party affiliation. The Corporate Elitist (aka Geo-Elitist) pick the "Chosen One" long in advance and believe it or not, Hills was the Chosen One.
Only this time something went wrong, as much as the C-Machine tried to manipulate and/or electioneer the Dem Prime, she was just too polarizing for the masses. BUT! More importantly, they underestimated KID FOX from Harvard. (Side note: Sorry Hill supporters, but IMHO that's what happen)
THE MASTER PLAN:
The young, naive and inexperienced Kid from Harvard was simply brought up from the FARM LEAGUE to beef up College Bound and African-American voter registration.
That, combined with Hill bringing in record numbers of new women voters was supposed to lock-up the Dem Nom for Hill and ultimately the W.H. Well, once the liberal media fell in love with BO the rest is history.
Obviously this is the Dems year. OR AT LEAST THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE THINKS SO!
To my dismay, the mainstream media's blatant involvement in the ELECTIONEERING GAME for BO (incl rigged and/or bias polls) is very powerful indeed. The only real chance that McCain has is that "We The People" (the masses) speak up! AND SPEAK UP AND/OR VOTE IN RECORD NUMBERS!
The SILENT MAJORITY can't take anything for granted this time around. We need to send a LOUD & CLEAR MESSAGE to the Electorate that our voices cannot be quelled. In other words, if this election ends up being close (even if Mc's has a slight edge) the electorate will crown BO the winner no, ifs ands, or buts. Remember 2000?
SO UNLESS YOU'RE AN AVID BO SUPPORTER, I'D SUGGEST THAT WE---SILENT MAJORITY---GET OUT AND VOTE IN RECORD NUMBERS, OTHERWISE BO HAS THE ELECTION WRAPPED UP!
MAY THE TRUTH BE KNOWN! GOD BLESS OUR WORLD!!!-

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!
While suturing a cut on the hand of a Texas Rancher whose hand had been caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually, the topic got around to Obama and his bid for the presidency.
The old rancher said, Well, ya know, Obama is a "post turtle."
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked, "What is a post turtle?"
The old rancher said, When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a "post turtle."
The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain.
"You know he didn't get up there by himself, he sure as heck doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he is up there and you just wonder what kind of an idiot put him there in the first place.-

As an ex-Marine myself (which is a misnomer as once a Marine always a Marine) I'll give some advice - check John McCain 2003 v John McCain 2008 and check John McCain before and after the financial scandal that sent an AZ governor to prison and almost caught McCain. Better order more flip-flops and be ready to call them McCains.

The one thing i love on these blogs is the humor and creativity.
Willnotvoteobama, i haven't always agreed with you but i do hope you have a fun and SAFE holiday with your Marine buddies and family. Please tell your Marine buddies "thank you for your service to our country" for me.
