    Hey obamamohammeds...got some good news...it's not ya'lls fault....you are all victims.....it's a sickness....

    Psychiatrist Confirms: Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder
    As a clinical and forensic psychiatrist, Lyle Rossiter has treated over 1,500 patients and examined over 2,700 civil and criminal cases. Turning his hand to political psychopathology, the author of The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness, has diagnosed an alarming percentage of the population as suffering from the grotesque form of mental derangement known by some as moonbattery.

    Among Rossiter's observations:

    Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded. Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave.
    A social scientist who understands human nature will not dismiss the vital roles of free choice, voluntary cooperation and moral integrity ??? as liberals do. A political leader who understands human nature will not ignore individual differences in talent, drive, personal appeal and work ethic, and then try to impose economic and social equality on the population ??? as liberals do. And a legislator who understands human nature will not create an environment of rules which over-regulates and over-taxes the nation's citizens, corrupts their character and reduces them to wards of the state ??? as liberals do.
    The roots of liberalism ??? and its associated madness ??? can be clearly identified by understanding how children develop from infancy to adulthood and how distorted development produces the irrational beliefs of the liberal mind. When the modern liberal mind whines about imaginary victims, rages against imaginary villains and seeks above all else to run the lives of persons competent to run their own lives, the neurosis of the liberal mind becomes painfully obvious.
    Basically liberalism is a willful failure to mature beyond adolescence that can have catastrophic consequences for society. With luck, the official diagnosis of this disease by a mental health professional will facilitate the search for a cure.

    NOBAMA!!!

    Wanna see those jobs keep goin overseas? Keep watchin the country drain it's resources on a war we should have never have gotten into? See the rich keep gettin richer from all of this subterfuge...all in the name of God?...Then vote for McCain-Palin. We're so stretched now we couldn't even step in to support the 2nd biggest contributor to the Iraq war..Georgia. Yeah,..and the Russians know it. Obamma offers a fresh start. I'm sick of hearing the right wing dogma of compaisons to Carter, etc....and that's why after 21 years as a registered GOP voter, I changed to the Democrats. No they'e not perfect, and many of the issues I disagree with them. But I'm tired of the "BIG BUSINESS SOCIALISM" that Bush & Chenny have given us. Blue Dog Democrats will decide this race like it or not. I just wish people like Rush Limbaugh would replay the commentary he made about McCain in the year 2000. Just another big mouthed coward hiding behind his golden,(brass),microphone. It's time we get back to some common sense in our approach to the issues. Time nor space doesn't permit me to fully express my opinion. However, I'll end by saying that I normally support the Green party candidate and will this year if the polls on the day prior to election day show a big slide one way or the other. Otherwise, I'm supporting Obamma! It's time to really clean house....And let the chips fall where they may!!!

    Perhaps it is time to realize not everyone has the liberal agenda that makes Sarah Palen's value system questionable to them. I suggest that instead of acting stunned by Sarah's positions on some issues you need to review your own survey which says that 43% WAS THE MAJORITY POSITION ON ABORTION, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND !! You just don't get it that the majority of americans don't hold those elitist positions!!

    I'm white and live in an upper middle class neighborhood in an upper class community. My wife and I and our three adult children are all voting for Obama-Biden. No one has called or polled us. I don't think that the accuracy of these polls can really be all that great. You can get any result that you want by calling certain demographic areas that are know to vote in a certain pattern.

      Never just assume you know what the women will do.
      We do have enough power to corrupt the vote now.
      The idea that Hillary will have to face the femicidal mountain again in the next run,really bothers many of us

      Talk is Palin 2008
      for Clinton 2012

      The Congress is Dem and no one really has much power over them.
      The male ego may have to go through some growing pains for equality to set in.

      I myself was hesitant, but when Michelle Obama did not appear at ground zero, it was so disrespectful, and so un Presidential of her, that the other woman didn't look so bad.

      • Posted By: elizabethpaige @ 09/14/2008 1:15:27 AM

        Get a brain.

        The visit to Ground Zero was soley for the purpose of paying solemn tribute to the victims of September 11, 2001.

        Mayor Bloomberg did not bring his wife. Sen Obama did not bring his wife. Sen. McCain brought his wife solely for a 'political photo op."

        And you fell for it.

        How on earth can you as a woman seriously vote for Palin?! You say you are a Hillary fan, well Hillary is the complete OPPOSITE of Palin! Hillary is pro choice, Palin is against abortion regardless of the reason, i.e. rape, incest. This woman is Dark Cheney in a skirt! I am also a white woman and I would never consider voting for Palin. She has also been shown to be a liar, starting with her acceptance speech! this re

    Us Palin supporters are not stupid. We know a savvy, tough lady when we see one. Contrary to your belief, this election is more comprehensive than the issues. Our perception is that with this girl, McCain has given himself the credibility that we were waiting for.

      Palin is disgusting because she hunts? Are you from this planet?
      If you eat fish, beef, chicken, eggs, lamb, or pork, you are a complete and utter hypocrite.
      Are we supposed to live on carrotts?
      I'd call you an imbecile but it's not nice.
      Palin is a plain human being, just like the rest of us.
      She and McCain will win easily.

        I don't recall Sarah Palin eating wolf or bear. I am an Alaskan myself. Been here for all my life. The reason aerial wolf and bear hunting started here was because people blamed the lack of caribou and moose herds on wolves and bears. Instead of being scientific, finding evidence and doing a full investigation on the matter those people in my government killed wolves and bears...they didn't even do anythign with the remains. No fur clothing items, or saving the meat. It was cruel slaughter based off of a whimsical thought that 'Oh, maybe it's the wolves and bears killing the caribou. Instead of rationalizing this through an investigation, I'm just going to blame it on them anyway.' I can't forgive Sarah Palin for endorsing this procedure to eliminate the wildlife of Alaska. she has the same logic with the poles melting. She claims that the scientific investigation associated with it as a fraud and is suing those responsible for it. What kind of VP is so blinded by her own narcissistic ego, (and I'm not exaggerating) and rules like Bloody Mary in that she gets rid of anything and anyone that doesn't give her a slighest inkling or interest or helps her? She is so very, very, cruel.

    Men pay close attention! McCain is leading BHO substantially in all men polls. There has to be a valid reason for this. Most men realize who is the strongest leader. Most men do not want a weak individual running our country. Join the majority of the men and support McCain the true leader with a proven history, not a community organizer who only has experience running his campaign.

    • Posted By: Pupster @ 09/14/2008 9:23:38 PM

      McCain is so feeble. If he wasn't so cranky, I'd want to help him cross the street.

    When he returned from Vietnam and saw his former beauty queen wife who was disfigured in an auto accident, he left her for a 25 year younger rich woman. An opportunist then and now, he's found another young woman to help him look good! Watch out Palin...he'll dump you if he lives another 10 years!

    It is a known fact that African countries that participate in human trafficing, an issue that Unicef has been fighting to stop for years, falsify documents everyday. It would be nothing for them to falsify this man's birth certificate.
    He needs to be scrutinized. I don't not trust him and it has nothing to do with his race. I would vote for Colin Powell in a New York minute to take on the Presidency of the United States. He is confident, qualifeid, poised and experienced. Colin Powell would make a wonderful African American President. :)

    Obama didn't pick Biden over Hillary because of Biden's foreign policy experience. Hillary scores just as well as Biden with the public on foreign policy and a whole lot better on many other issues. The truth is that he didn't want to share the stage on this "history making" election. He wanted to be the history maker and didn't want any competition. Now, because of his all too fragile ego and arrogance, we may have that history making election after all -- the first female Vice President. I think political science classes are going to be talking about Obama's colossal mistake in passing over Hillary for the next fifty years

      Also, I am not anti-abortion, but I CAN not deny another person their option to making a decision for themselves. How could any woman make that decision for another woman? If you don't believe in abortion don't have one, but allow others to make that decision for themselves.

    I see that Obama has reported another 66 million in fund raising in August. Funny, everybody in this economy according to Obama is suffering under 8 years of Bush. Where is all of the money coming from if everybody is suffering? I wonder if some of it is coming illegally from overseas? We already know that Obama has won the election in Europe and I wonder if some Islamic "charities" might involved ala Al Queda? I just have a hard time believing these totals if as Obama states everybody is out of work and suffering under Bush's "failed leadership". Does anybody else ask the same question?

Instead of picking an issue, you insult the intregrity of any who disagree with you. If you're canidate is so great, why is he trailing in fund raising, why does he mimic Obama's messages of change and reform. Your party is incapable of being the reformers, your party is the problem. Carrying on another 4 years of Bush policies is not the answer. Enough of the lies and insults. I'm proud to support Obama.

    • Posted By: earlrural @ 09/14/2008 7:53:43 PM

      People like me are donating for the first time because we don't want to see another 4 years of the same crap the Republicans have created. I give 25 or 50 dollars every month and In October I will be giving at least $100 to make sure the door to the White House is blocked from McCain and Palin. I have never donated to a campaign in my life until this year. Enough of Bush, and no McCain, who has voted with Bush 90% of the time. Enough of the politics of personal destruction and fear. I am a American who is fed up with the shredding of the constitution by an Autocrat and do not want to see this power that the adminstration has gathered through fear and intimidation passed onto another Republican. If you want real reform, vote for Obama, not McBush.

  • Posted By: Iron Horse @ 09/14/2008 9:16:34 PM

    If you love America and want to see her succeed you vote Mc Cain Palin.
    If you want the change her to a socialist welfare state you vote obama and we can
    be taken over by China or some other radical country.
    =================
    Can you please stop this Republican culture of fear mongering and hate mongering? Why would Democrats ever want a socialist government? The governing styles between Republicans and Democrats do differ, but not on a scale as to bring a radical change like socialism to America. America spent almost all of the 20th century fighting socialism/communism, and the people more opposed to China and trade agreements are not Republicans but Democrats.
    Republicans have not done anything to fulfill their small-government principle, which is cutting pending (under Bush, spending rose significantly and our economy is not in the best shape right now), and the taxes the GOP cut will no doubt benefit mega-millionaires more than ordinary citizens. The social programs we have right now were created by Democrats, not Republicans, as a result of the Great Depression and President Hoover's disregard for the suffering of the people.
    So, stop the hate machine and close your fear factory and outsource it to China.

    Reality Bites..Huh

    Karl Rove has said the same thing....The Electoral Map, favors Obama [248] all he Needs is [270] and he wins, something you Mccain Addicts and John Mccain himself have Over Looked !!

    CNN) -- Sen. John McCain has inched ahead of Sen. Barack Obama in national polls, but the Democratic candidate holds a steady lead in the most recent Electoral College estimates.

    In national surveys, McCain leads by 2 points, 47 percent to 45 percent, according to CNN's poll of polls released Monday night.

    In the Electoral College standings, the most recent survey shows 243 electoral votes either safely in Obama's column or leaning his way. At this point, McCain can claim only 189.

    Many of the state polls used to determine the Electoral College standings, however, were conducted before the conventions.

    Monday marked the first time McCain passed Obama in CNN's poll of polls. Watch how the race has tightened »

    On Saturday, Obama was up by 3 in the poll of polls. That lead shrank to just 1 point Sunday before disappearing Monday.

    In the most recent survey, 8 percent of respondents said they were still unsure about who they were going to vote for.

    The poll of polls is an average of five surveys: CNN (September 5-7), ABC/Washington Post (September 5-7), CBS (September 5-7), Gallup (September 5-7) and Diageo/Hotline (September 5-7). The poll of polls does not have a sampling error.

    The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Monday shows McCain and Obama tied at 48 percent.

    The poll, which was conducted Friday through Sunday, carries a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. It was based on 1,022 telephone interviews.

    Republicans are hoping that if McCain can close the popular vote gap, he can also make gains in the electoral gap. The Electoral College will ultimately decide who takes over the White House.

    Although polls across the country are open on one day, the election is not a national poll but a series of 51 state-level elections that decide the members of the Electoral College.

    Technically, voters aren't choosing a candidate but a slate of electors who have pledged to vote for that candidate when the Electoral College meets.

    With 538 electors up for grabs, the candidate with more than half -- 270 -- wins the presidency. The number of electors from each state equals the number of senators and representatives the state sends to Congress

    How long will GW Bush kill the US. Gas price shot up because of Ike. In 1996 Bill Clinton had same situation. He open he reserve and balance out everything. Bush say it will take years for that to make impact. Maybe "W" really don't give a dam. His idea of middle class american income is $200,000 a year. McCain has the same plan!

Enough ???the real silent majority, Americans who respect and actually practice Christian values will not accept McCain and the religious bigot he has chosen as his vice-presidential candidate.

  • Posted By: Hopeful2008 @ 09/14/2008 9:10:00 PM

    Have the American people had enough of Bush yet? You would think that 8 years would be enough, but if they put McCain in there, it will another 4 years of Bush tactics. The middle class and lower class people have seen nothing but higher taxes and no releif; while the high class or people with money, get all the tax breaks, pay less money and come out smelling like a rose. For all of you women that want Palin in there, you need to wise up before its too late. Most are mad at Obama for not putting Hilary as his VP, so you have changed parties just to get a woman in office. That's bad, what does that say about you? I will vote for Obama and pray that God will open your eyes before it is too late and we end up suffering another 4 years of Bush policies. Obama will give us some fresh blood and get us out of some of the messes Bush got us into. Look what happened at the Olympics because Bush/we owe China so much money. They (China) put 12 & 13 years olds in, when the legal age for compention is 16, all due to the U.S. owing them money. What a shame that is has come down to this. What else has Bush done to compromise the U.S.? Please, vote Obama and change the tide of events, if not for yourself, then for your children and grandchlidren.

    Women voters in the U.S. are dumb; they vote without knowing what they are voting for. They go for appeal
    and the B.S. that is spewed out to them by the McLame team - if McLame wins the election, they will be getting
    the same laughed at raw deal, of the same of the last 8 years including the fact that the U.S.A. has gone down in respect, ridicule and trust worldwide. That Palin has no substance; she's referred to as the classless redneck. White man has lot it; it's time for REAL CHANGE!!!
