Worst Campaign Ever?

    The ultra right wing of the Republican party is in a state of complete denial. They are claiming McCain lost because he was not conservative enough. Therefore, he lost their vote. This sounds to me like the child who has the ball, but only wants to play the game they want to play. If they do not get their way, the go home. For the past years, many of the middle of the road voters held their nose and voted for their candidates. Many qualified Republicans refused to run because of the pro-life, social conservative nonsense being espoused by the party. The ultra conservative Bush gets elected and he is dumber than dirt. The economy collapses and the ultra conservatives simply can not believe people are more concerned about their jobs or potential lack of one, than their agenda. This beatdown was a long time in coming and it is going to continue. Tony Blair went right after the middle of the road voter and you have not seen a conservative government in England since. McCain wanted to pick Lieberman, but could not. Instead he picked someone who could see Russia from her house.

    Qiao, I think all those African-Americans in your district came from Mars and Pluto. Thousands of people saw several space ships New Mexico and Nevada on election day.

      No that's not it at all, silly goose!

      You see, ACORN arrainged work-furlows for millions of felons by offering free abortions to all the gay-transgender-transexual-Muslim-military-deserter-same-sex-couples that have infiltrated our prison system.

      They were offered free houses, jobs, health care, condoms and welfare (but not vouchers for private schools) if they voted for Obama.

      And it the liberal media elite was in on it FROM THE START.

      Dang they're good!

    Yes. It was the worst campaign ever. Stupid & idiotic OBAMA loathing, OBAMA addicted, brainless media, is still working overtine to kill John Mccain, forgetting that he has already lost. OBAMA Drug addicted media & Julian get real. Wake up. Election is over. McCain & Obama called for unity. You & Racheal Madden get to your senses along with your media OBAMA addicts

    After I finished my Ph. D. in Industrial Psychology and Media, I have to conclude that President Bush has used all the Political Pshychology skills to control the masses. It expresses a deep correlation between communist tendencies of control of masses and a fascist nation. Examples are the colored alarms at airports, massive language of fear, and torture.

  • Posted By: qiao @ 11/05/2008 9:23:20 PM

    Obama ran the communist style of campaign (massive people movement, brainwash people, control media, stiring manic worship, and secret / tight internal circle ), and won. And we will see what he will do to the country besides slogans.

    Chaos McCain did indeed run an erratic, confused and chaotic campaign

    AND he selected that nightmare, ultimately evil, fundamentalist Palin!

    What is wrong with John McCain?! Perhaps it all started to go terribly wrong for him when he voted with Bush 90% of the time....it's like McCain sold his soul to the devil.

    • Posted By: vote4tom @ 11/05/2008 12:00:22 PM

      Anyone who would call this mother of five "ultimately evil" is in my estimation sick beyond repair. For a campaign that ran on change, hope, compassion, and a new direction, that is some pretty hateful stuff. I guess the wolf has appeared from beneath the sheeps clothing. Amazing!

        I think she's evil. Why? Well for ANY woman to even try to push for victims of rape to PAY for their own rape kits is disgusting in my book. She is no woman in my eyes, she's disgusting. As a survivor of rape, I deeply frown upon this sort of behaviour, ANY woman should.

          Then I guess you were symapthetic to all of the women former President Clinton abused? Or, like most blind Dems, you only believe bad things about Republicans and refuse to believe anything negative about Dems? Your outrage might garner some sympathy if you were consistent.

The election is over the best and right man won. So let's just stop with all the negative comments we have a new President now let's just move forward. Have a blessed day a

      Obama voted with Bush between 40 and 50% of the time. Most Senate votes are non-controversial ceremonial issues.

    George Soros finally got what he wanted! I have a feeling that his influence is going to extend well beyond the campaign stage. Everybody was touting what a great campaign Obama was running. But he wasn't running it. It was running him. With enough money you can buy anything. You can buy extreme order. George Soros is going to continue coddling Obama through his presidency to make him look good. He will likely be in contact with foreign leaders, buying their cooperation and easing their fears. The Democratic take over of congress was probably engineered long in advance. This also makes Obama's job easier and insulates him from the tough issues that presidents have to deal with in terms of senate battles between Republicans and Democrats. George Soros likely bought Obama an Army of advisors to answer any and all questions. Remember Soros is the financial genious that made his money off of the securities markets. He may have even had a hand in crashing the stock market to favor the Democrats just before the election. There is no way that the most unqualified presidential candidate in history got to where he did without such massive help. Some have speculated that after Obama won the Presidency, the media would turn on him and the honeymoon would be over but there is a broader agenda. Soros is buying up all of these newspapers that are endorsing Obama which is an attempt at a Socialist propaganda state. He will likely retain his control over the large media networks as well. What is the price Obama pays for having his ego stoked? An agenda that makes George Soros the grand puppet master of planet Earth!

    Let's get real people. The 40accres and a mule is a slap in the face. Obama is president bcuz we as an entire nation of people are tired of being screwed over by all of the F up in government. When Joe Blow the white guy looses his house not bcuz he lost his job or he's not paying his bills but bcuz some of the fat cats got together and had a steak and a triple malt scotch and decided they would sale his loan to some idiot who takes cart blanc and raises his mortgage to the an unpayable amount and then has the audacity to say he should have read his contract oh well. Remember nine times out of ten that was a white guy. This is not to say that all white people are bad people but it is to say watch where you point your blame stick people bcuz we are all in this together. Regardless to who is in office, BLACK WHITE ASIAN LATINO or INDIAN

      Just so you know, when a mortgage is bought (I know as mine has been bought multiple times) they do not raise the rate. It is uninformed or greedy or a slimy real estate broker who signs a mortgage with an adjustable rate. The rates go with the market and can go up few times per year. Anyone who is crazy enough to bui a house that they cannot afford on an ARM was foolish. That is why we are in this mess, we all have gotten greedy, bought more than we can afford and now we pay the price. Who really needs to wake up is US, the AMERICAN PEOPLE. We need to start SAVING MORE, Spending Less, living within our means, and NOT trying to make it rick quick, but be smart, work hard and NOT DEPEND ON THE GOVERNMENT for our financial wellbeing. Congrats to President Obama, although I disagree with him politically, I will support him and hope that he turns our economy around (BY SPENDING LESS OF OUR $$)

  • Posted By: qiao @ 11/05/2008 8:50:47 PM

    Well, Obama won because he got all those African-Americans out to vote him, perhaps they were double registered also. Our district has a small fraction of black population. However, in the election day, there appeared to have about 1/3 of black voters. I remember several previous elections, it was almost no American-Americans to show up. I have to say it was a quite strange situation, I mean, I really don't know where these people came from.

    i am a vietnam vet,i will tell you what a Hero is.i was in the army and met a young black kid from chicago his name was milton olive the 3rd. he went to nam with the 173rd airborne while on patrol he dove on a hand grenade and saved his patrol,he died and was the first black in nam to win the congressional medal of honor , for his bravery. this is a HERO! on the other hand john mcain gets shot down gets captured is beaten then signs a paper denounces the united states and he is a Hero? there was other men in prisoner of war jails and died never to sign a paper against the united states. these were HEROs. so ask yourself was john mcain a hero? bombing women and babys who were totally defense less . a hero i think not ,just a guy who got caught by the enemy and he snitced out his country and brotherers stop calling this guy a hero pleas!

    While arguably ot the worst, it left enough of a bad taste in my mouth. I felt insulted and disgusted. After a 24 hour straight hate-a-thon of anti rev. wright commercials before the election, it reminded me that they actually didn't really have anything substantive when it came to solutions. Made it very easy to press the screen for Obama/Biden.

  • Posted By: LGRPeople @ 11/05/2008 8:06:48 PM

    During this campaign I don't remember any Blacks or Hispanics or Idians or Asians getting arrested for threating to take 120 innocent lives bcuz others didn't think the way they did or the polls weren't going in our favor. Oh yeah those were 2 or 3 I'm not sure but I think that they were white american born young men, now who taught them to think that way. Was it Blacks or Hispanics or Idians or Asians I mean your guess is as good as mine.

    well hell, he didn't have the frigging Mexicans on his side, you know, the ones that turn the American flag upside down and fly that rag of their over it. He didn't have the godless Liberal media on his side. He didn't have the endorsement of the murderes, adulterers, liars and thieves like Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, the Madonnas, the Lindsay Lohans, the Paris Hiltons, the basic scum of the earth who give nothing back to it. AND most of all, he didn't pay ACORN to register all the Disney characters, many dead people, Paris Hilton's chihuahuah, and all the others that this race went to. Just a matter of time until the godless fools who voted for this character will in a sense of the word receive their reward just as those who followed Jim Jones to Gyana did as they were FORCED to drink the cyanide laced kool aid. Sound radical, you betcha, and very realistic.

    I am so happy for President Elect Obama. One thing must always be remembered though, HE DOESNT HAVE ALL THE POWER IN WASHINGTON. I would love for all of his desires for this country to come true but it is unrealistic to believe that they all will. We can only hope that congress will open their eyes and see what this country can be if Obama is allowed to make these changes.

    Congradulations to President Elect Obama! for those of you who have the audacity to continue to speak badly on another culture or not embrase the change that is well over due. Remember this, if your loved one was in a horrible accident and needed help and you had to make choice as to who would administer care to that loved one who would you chose would choose the only white bystander who had no medical knowledge or compassion, choose the black person with some medical knowledge(CPR Certified) or would you with no medical knowledge yourself not CPR Certified and risk loosing that person. What would you do, could you call Bush or McCain to help, after all look at all the help they gave to the people in New Orleans.

    He may not come when you want him but he'll be there right on time. You have to go through hard times to get the good times. Nothing is promised to anyone. What you want you have to work for it.

    I know a gal who had a Not for Obama pin on her purse and a lady tried to rip it off her purse then proceeded to harrass her through out the store until she finally had to tell her to get lost. WHO DOES THAT? We do live in America where we have the right to voice our opinions and vote for whomever we like- If that person who fought so hard for Obama, did that for the Word of God, just think where our Nation would be. It is time to change our focus to who will truly get us through this mess. Look up people -open your eyes-it is only going to get worse.

    • Posted By: HurleyOkeiffe @ 11/05/2008 7:21:02 PM

      God will get you nowhere. Last I checked, he has not protected us against terrorists, he has not punished the corrrupt CEO's on Wall Street, he hasn't stopped foreclosures, and his hand has not come down to save us from any crisis. I'm not a god hater, I'm just being honest , but hey, if you want to ask him for a $700 billion bail out - go ahead, but you will be waiting until his sons second coming....

      Maybe she was related to that McCain supporter in Michigan who refused Halloween candy if kids (not their parents, mind you) said they supported Obama.

    REDISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH IS SOCIALISM. SOCIALISM TAKES AWAY THE INCENTIVE TO WORK.
    OBAMA STANDS FOR CHANGE; THAT CHANGE IS FROM CAPITALISM TO SOCIALISM. UNDER AN OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WE WILL SEE MORE PEOPLE UNWILLING TO WORK BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY WILL GET A HANDOUT FROM THE GOVERNMENT. SMALL BUSINESSES WILL PULL BACK AND REDUCE HIRING NEW EMPLOYEES. BIG BUSINESS WILL TAKE WORK OVERSEAS IN ORDER TO KEEP MORE OF THE MONEY THEY EARN. IN THE END???.EVERYONE LOSES.
    We can't expect the American People to jump from Capitalism to Communism,
    but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of Socialism,
    until they awaken one day to find that they have Communism.'

    As a citizen of the USA I will pray for our new Presiden Barak Obama and I will pray that God gives him wisdom and disernment to govern this nation. I will also pray for the nation as a whole that we as its citizens turn back to God our Lord and Savior. I have read here today nothing but hateful and mean comments and no matter who we voted for we should always pray for our leaders. I pray that this nation and citizens turn back to God because if we don`t I believe that God will punish us.

    • Posted By: ksmacdog62 @ 11/05/2008 7:11:21 PM

      Amen. Of all the comments I've read today, your comment is the only one that makes sense. We the people of the United States of America MUST get behind our new President and give him all the support he needs. And he will need support, including (and probably most important of all) heavenly support from our Father in Heaven. I pray that President-elect Obama will seek inspiration and guidance from an all-knowing and merciful God and that our nation will turn back to God, as you have said. We are all God's children. He is no respecter of persons. He blesses those who are obedient to His commandments. He cannot and will not bless us as a nation unless and until we acknowledge His power and goodness.
