I too hope mr. Obama gets the message aboout Iraq. I find it very interesting that the politicians always say that the Iraqi people “want” to take more responsibility for thier country, yet the men and women on the ground repeatedly say that this is not the case at all. Mr. Obama appears to be full of that stuff that stinks to high heaven and is usually brown. In addition to not supporting Obama anymore I no longer support any candidate and have lost all faith in our politicians.

Card Carrying Republican:

Did you know the richest politicans per capita in Washington are Democrats? Yep that’s right if you lined up the top 15 wealthiest politicians you would find that 80% of the richest are Dems.
Sad but true. Liberal philosophies dictated by rich liberals generally cause increased taxes on the middle class. The only way to prevent such a disaster is to be shrewd and study all side of the coin.

Fundamental Republican Conservatism is not a bad thing when its practiced. But when one party gains control of every branch of government bad things tend to happen and self serving greed and piggishness kicks in. In the case of any party remember this. “Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutly. If we give the keys to the White House to the democrats expect the same things from them that we got from the Republicans. “Absolute Power and absolute corruption”.

Our economy is in the shape it is in because our elected officials have deregulated everything under the sun and you now have to think for your self and survive on your own cunning and ability. That is unless you want to live under Socialism. In which case the government thinks for you and tells you what you are allowed to have and how much you are allowed to have.

I prefer to think for myself but it requires due diligence and a daily does of a lot of gloom and doom. The saddest part is that if the American public is told something long enough it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. I have heard 8 years of gloom and doom in a full fleged attempt to push the American people into this so called change that is coming.

Me I prefer to move what little I have managed to save and also all of my investments off shore so the Democratic Socialist government can’t take it from me in the name of giving to those more needy.

To White Independent:

Yes, there is something happening. It is called Socialism… You will be told what you can drive, how you can drive, who will educate your children, what they will believe in, when you can have surgery, and how much money you are worthy of earning.

That is the beginning of the wrong kind of change and a change I won’t participate in.

No matter if Obama gets elected, He will never be my President he’s been too cozy with some pretty radical elements in his past.

“The Republican candidate said that in any event, He would not allow democrats to try to destroy the United States.”

“Asked about the democrats feeling the need to destroy America, McCain replied, “I would hope that would never happen,” saying the democratic congress could impose “significant, very painful sanctions on the American people which they think could modify their behavior.”

He added, “But I have to look you in the eye and tell you that the Rebublicans of America can never allow a democratic instigated Holocaust of our freedoms, and our way of life.”

TO THE CARD CARRYING REPUBLICAN——
There is something happening when Americans who are young in age and in spirit – who have never before participated in politics – turn out in numbers we’ve never seen because they know in their hearts that this time must be different.
There is something happening when people vote not just for the party they belong to but the hopes they hold in common – that whether we are rich or poor; black or white; Latino or Asian; whether we hail from Iowa or New Hampshire, Nevada or South Carolina, we are ready to take this country in a fundamentally new direction. That is what’s happening in America right now. Change is what’s happening in America.
You can be the new majority who can lead this nation out of a long political darkness – Democrats, Independents and Republicans who are tired of the division and distraction that has clouded Washington; who know that we can disagree without being disagreeable; who understand that if we mobilize our voices to challenge the money and influence that’s stood in our way and challenge ourselves to reach for something better, there’s no problem we can’t solve – no destiny we cannot fulfill. Our new American majority can end the outrage of unaffordable, unavailable health care in our time. We can bring doctors and patients; workers and businesses, Democrats and Republicans together; and we can tell the drug and insurance industry that while they’ll get a seat at the table, they don’t get to buy every chair. Not this time. Not now.
Our new majority can end the tax breaks for corporations that ship our jobs overseas and put a middle-class tax cut into the pockets of the working Americans who deserve it.
We can stop sending our children to schools with corridors of shame and start putting them on a pathway to success. We can stop talking about how great teachers are and start rewarding them for their greatness. We can do this with our new majority.
We can harness the ingenuity of farmers and scientists; citizens and entrepreneurs to free this nation from the tyranny of oil and save our planet from a point of no return.

McCain stated today on Good Morning America that violence had escalated on the “Iraqi” and “Pakistani” border. Last I checked, these two do not share a border. McCain needs to stop trying to steal the spotlight from Obama because McCain is always the one who suffers the most for it; just one gaffe after another. We all remember McCain’s green screen moment…Sunni vs. Shia… referring to a modern day Czechoslovakia that hasn’t existed for over 15 years…and this is from the man who claims to have all of the foreign experience. Heaven help us all if this man becomes commander in chief.

What is this guy talking about??? Just because you say “MISSION ACCOMPLISHED” doesn’t make it true. Just ask Bush. I’m from Texas and I now see what the Dixie Chicks were talking about. This guy has been an embarrasment to our state and this country. Now the Republicans have the audacity to put some one with the same failed policies up for election. What is this experience that this guy has. He was pilot 40 years ago and he screwed that up…he got shot down. One of the main goals as a pilot is to keep the plane in the air and not get captured. He screwed both of those things up. This guy doesn’t even realize that Chechslovakia is no longer a country and hasn’t been for almost two decades. If elected how is he going to have the mental capacity to keep up at 71. Anything happens after 7:00 p.m. who is gonna be making the decisions? The drug addict, home wrecker Cindy?

I am now convinced that McCain truly is not really that knowledgable on foreign policy. First not knowing Shia and Sunni, who is training who, identifying Iranian extremists as Al Queda terrorists, repeating Czechoslavakia as a country, when it has not been in existance for some time. This morning on Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer, asked by Diane Sawyer whether the “the situation in Afghanistan in precarious and urgent,” McCain responded: “I think it’s serious. . . . It’s a serious situation, but there’s a lot of things we need to do. We have a lot of work to do and I’m afraid it’s a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border.” “Iraq and Pakistan do not share a border. Afghanistan and Pakistan do.” Remember he finished at the bottom five of his military class.

Hey GG -
Do you really think your class rank when you are a kid in high school or college is what defines your future capability? Also, did you know that McCain signed a pre-nup agreement before he married his wife (ie, her money does NOT become his as a result of their marriage)? Further, are you aware that Obama joined that awful, racist church because of the political advancement opportunities it would give him in the black community? Now, THAT is what I call being “handed” an opportunity. I don’t think Bush is any Einstein either, but Bush’s 2001 vacation certainly did not cause the 911 attacks. Give us a break, and stop reading the liberal brainwash. You have a mind of your own.
