to do with AIDS?) Do you even know anything about it? Robot, I don't think you have Clue-One.

Obama put those religious ties behind him. Hopefully SP can do the same.

quite laughable, I think
You know, Lilly, it has gotten to the point of pure ridiculousness..If I posted that the sky was blue, the neocons would say I am dissing God cause the sky is overcast today..or whatever..It has gotten so **out there** with their nasty hostile posts it is beyond belief.  LOL..I, however, can see the humor in it all because as their political beliefs and hopes crash around them, what can they do but strike out at strong democrats/liberals who believe in the complete opposite of what they have been brainwashed to believe..So sad.  Because they do not have open minds and are not able to judge things rationally and fairly, they are left to strike out at anything that represents change from what they have been told to believe..It is really quite sad and I thank the powers that be that I am a liberal democrat who has always had an open free thinking mind and has never walked in lock step with political leaders..
This is just laughable to me.
Big tycoons wallowing in money.  I'm sorry but I do believe that Obama is wallowing in money himself.  He doesn't seem to have a problem with earmark spending, he wants the government to spend more money if he is elected, and he got the second highest amount of money from FMFM.  To me....that doesn't show any change in how things are done now other than MORE government spending and we most absolutely cannot afford that. 
I just think this is laughable.

Yes....I am angry.  I'm angry at the government as a whole.  Will I be angry if Obama wins.....no.  I will be very upset though because I feel he lacks so much and his character should be investigated instead of swept under the rug. 


I'm sure there will be some people who might throw a wrench into things just so Obama would look bad.  But that goes both ways and to suggest that is just something pubs would do is ridiculous.  The democrats have been the majority in congress and they have done jack sh1t here.  They keep talking about changing things but they won't change things and actually do anything until one of their own gets in office because they surely don't want Bush to get credit for doing something good. 


Also, I do believe it will be more likely that Obama and his supporters will raise holy he11 if Obama should lose.  The race card will be thrown up into the air and I fear riots may break out.  I do believe that there are people who will strictly NOT vote for Obama because he is black, but that doesn't define everyone voting against Obama.  There are just as many people voting for Obama just because he is black and that isn't right either but it goes both ways.  Just look at those video clips of Wright and Flager talking about blacks superiority and how whitey is evil and look at all those people cheering, standing up, and agreeing with those statements.  Those are going to be the people to cause major destruction and start riots if Obama should lose and that is really scary.


We can't change what happens whatever it may be.  I just hope and pray that both sides keep a cool head and don't do anything seriously stupid. No matter what happens we still have to stick together and try to make a better country for ourselves.

This is a laughable source of

Boy, is that a laughable remark, *the
Fox News! And you claim to be unbiased! You knew you were never unbiased. Even the *regular news* have now admitted they were in favor of Obama during the campaign, as if it was not evident!
Hahaha. you are laughable. Let me know when

Where in the world did you get that I am racist? That is laughable! sm
Nowhere, no way, do you have any indication that I am racist. I am not making fun of the disabled, I am making fun of you. The disabled have a reason for the way they behave - you're just silly by choice.
This post is laughable and pitiful
First of all, the FAKE war *was* lost before bush started it - and our standing in the world is likely permanently damaged because of it. So Reid is right when he says it's LOST. PUTTING COUNTRY FIRST means not staring fake wars that HURT our economy and kill innocent citizens and good soldiers. G-d forbid the war lovers get a clue or any education about what is really going on with U.S. foreign policy.


And Reid is saying is that McBush(cain) needed to 'BACK' the bailout - so that it would pass. Without his support, a bailout won't pass. Nothing 'wingnut' about this comment.

But OBAMA is right on this one: McCain needed to show he could/can multitask -its a joke to suggest he had to suspend his campaign in this crisis - simply do both by letting his VP candidate cover the campaign anytime he PHYSICALLY needed to be in DC to vote, etc.


BOTH PARTIES are politicizing this crisis BUT THEY ARE NOT TELLING you the truth - our economy is in trouble for a LOT of reasons - and they don't want you to know all of the reasons because then you'd understand how things *really* work in the good old US.


I use your words...this response is laughable...
and in many ways...yes...pitiful.

I don't know how any American can support any politician getting up and stating that a war still going on is lost. What a slap in the face for those with their lives on the line in Iraq. He should be ashamed. He is a representative of the United States of America. You think that comment did not enhearten the terrorists were were fighting? And yes, we were fighting AL Qaeda in Iraq within 2 weeks after going in, and I am sure that in your democratic talking points world you think they were able to mount an insurgency in that short a time and were not there until we went there. Pollyanna comes to mind.

War lovers. That is such a laughable and pitiful statement, won't go there other than to say NO ONE loves war. Good grief. Were you absent when the Iraq Liberation Bill was passed? During the Clinton administration, which he signed? Saying that Saddam should be removed? Clinton a war lover too? He went into Somalia...(Clinton)...soliders died there too. Remember them dragging the bodies behind Jeeps? Perhaps if he HAD fought the war there, there would have been no 9-11 and no Iraq invasion. I would suggest doing some real research before you start fling accusations.

As to Harry Reid...the wingnut comment is one day saying you have to support it, and when McCain comes to work on it, Harry Reid says go home. THAT is a wingnut flip flop no matter HOW you look at it.

Again with the multitasking...and this is the most laughable statement of all. We have an economy on the brink of crisis, and instead of Obama wanting to be right there to actually SEE the proposal being proposed, he prefers updates on his blackberry so he can continue to campaign. And you think he made the correct prioritization of his multitasking? Campaigning instead of trying to help the failing economy? You honestly think that was the correct prioritization??

It is not a secret why we are in this mess. Google fannie mae and freddie mac and see who has been warning about this very situation for years...that would be John McCain and the Bush administration. And who blocked it...Democrats, chiefly Chris Dodd and Barney Frank...and Obama advisor James Johnson who walked away from Fannie with millions after helping run it into the ground...Franklin Raines, another Obama advisor, walked away with millions after it was determined fannie had cooked the books. Did he do a day in jail? No...he PROFITED. Chris Dodd and Barack Obama the top two recipients of fannie mae/freddie mac contributions. Come ON.

We know who had a staggeringly large direct part in this mess we find ourselves in, and to hear them on TV accusing Republicans of being to blame and not acknowledging their direct involvement in it...is the HEIGHT of hypocrisy. Sorry, but that is the truth, no matter how pitiful and laughable YOU find it.
The suspension of his campaign was laughable
What was suspended? The talking heads were out there. The campaign offices were all open. Ads still ran (too late to pull) McCain brought campaign aides with him to the White House, not Senate aides. Campaign daily note was given to reporters.


What's laughable is the notion that the pubs
This coming from the party that gave us 8 years of W.
Gore is laughable and pathetic anyway.

Obama's "Budget Cuts" Laughable

So - you think it's impressive that Obama plans to ask his department heads to cut $100,000,000 from their budgets?  Let's put aside for a moment the question of why he's asking them for cuts at all when he's the one who says that MORE government spending is the solution to our economic crisis.


Obama is crowing about this because he knows that Americans don't know how to translate "huge" numbers into percentages, and also that Americans have grown used to hearing numbers in the $trillions.  I mean - millions, billions, trillions all sound pretty much alike!   Let's prove him wrong, shall we?


If Obama were asking for $100 million to be cut from a $3.5 billion budget, it would represent 1/35th of that budget.  1/35 is about 2.86%.  So even on a $3.5 billion budget this wouldn't be much.


But wait.  Obama's budget is $3.5 TRILLION, which is 1000 times larger. (A trillion is 1000 times larger than a billion.)  Conversely, that makes $100 million a thousand times smaller of a percentage of the budget.  In other words, we're not even talking about 2.86%, but one-thousandths of 2.86%.  Here's what that looks like:   0.00286%.


In other words, if Obama made NEW cuts of $100,000,000 from his budget every day for over 300 days, he still wouldn't have even cut 1% from his budget.  So you may now be forgiven if you're underwhelmed by Obama's $100 million budget cut. 


 It's kinda like someone crowing about how they've reduced their carbon footprint by disconnecting their doorbell.  And this little object lesson showing how little $100,000,000 is compared to Mr. Obama's budget also gives you a little bit better idea just how disgustingly gargantuan his budget really is.


Me, sexist? That's laughable, being a very strong independent woman myself, but
I am afraid of a woman who has some sort of God complex and has nothing to lose.  We should all be very afraid by somebody like that!
I do not think, with all the witnesses and evidence to the contrary, that this laughable, narcissist
say to help himself---what credibility does he have at all?? The only thing I give him points for is the amount of self-delusion he has been able to create for himself, what a piece of work!
Each candidate has to have a

minimum of 15% in the opinion polls to be invited to participate in the presidential debate.  That is why it is usually just the republican nominee and democratic nominee.  I don't know that I agree with this, but if you actually look at ALL the candidates....you have so many parties who nominate a runner and most of the time you don't even hear about them.  We have Ron Paul, Bob Barr, Barry Obama, McCain and that doesn't include the green party, etc.  If they just automatically included all of them in the debate......we wouldn't get anywhere. 


Yea, that's it....he's the best candidate... we all know

another candidate
If we could get the parties (I'm also one of those not to thrilled by either candidate) to come together and choose ANOTHER candidate and vote him in we may seem some change. As it stands now, I feel like Obama is the kid running for class president in high school promising the extra days off and more soda machines and when he wins (because he's cute and popular) he won't be able to deliver. Mccain on the other hand, I believe he will try and make some changes, but he isn't going to completely revamp Washington, which is basically what we need.

We need someone who can go in with NO ties, not owing anything to anyone, and who will throw out all the dirty crooks in the congress. A no-name guy (or girl!) who is middle to lower class, smart, and bipartisan. Who has no agenda other than to fix what is wrong. I don't believe anyone can say that either of these candidates is like that.

Obama owes some people for getting where he has gotten. NO ONE climbs the ladder that quickly without a little help. And Mccain, well he's frugal, and he may not make enough change for us down here on the ladder to see the difference. And I'm sure he has people and interest groups he is particular to also.

But, instead of us all getting out, banding together, and trying to make some real change in Washington, we will just sit back and let it be politics as usual. The fact is, America is to lazy to do anything but whine and complain about how bad we've got it. But we sure aren't going to get up and fix it!

We are slowly imploding on ourselves and we don't even realize it. We look at third world countries and think "that can never happen to us" but it can and more than likely will if we continue down this road of overspending and living by the moment.


He's VP candidate.

That's why the hoopla.  Sen. Biden may have had some health issues, but he's the VP (could possibly need to step in), but Obama is young, healthy, good looking, and seems popular amongst the voters who do want to see change, and not the same old grampa running our country into the ground with the "rich" buddies getting richer. 


Biden had a problem with stuttering.  I'd much rather have Biden misspeak and accept his experience on foreign policy (especially as an MT and what we deal with) then Palin who has no idea what she's doing being a heartbeat away from the Presidency. 


Get it now?


Yes, because he is the only candidate
and we are all fellow prisoners.
Who is your top democratic candidate?
Barack Obama is who I am rooting for, but I'd like to know what democrats are thinking about the other candidates.
No enthusiasm for their candidate. sm
I am not an Obama supporter, but go ahead and post what you like about him. I am conservative, but find McCain as the nominee unacceptable.
Could it be that Candidate #5's "emissary"
was one who was bugged? Has anybody heard anything about who blew the whistle on the senate seat sale?
What does it say about a candidate's character

 


1.       Dumps his crippled wife and mother of his children to have affair with wealthy heiress, then turns around to apply for marriage license before his divorce is final. 


2.       Calls his wife C-word.


3.       While speaking at a biker's rally, volunteers his wife as a contestant in the "Miss Buffalo Chips" topless modeling contest, including it's legendary banana competition.


4.       Tries to blame his wife for the Keating 5 scandal when it becomes public.


5.       Screams at and thoroughly humiliates a young pub volunteer who set up his podium at a rally.


6.       Jokes about ape rape and killing off Iranians with cigarettes and "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb."


7.       Describes Arizona's elderly as "seizure world."


8.       Throws temper tantrums, punctuated with the casual use of the F-word. 


9.       Calls fellow senators Aholes and sh-heads. 


10.    Ignites a culture war to get elected. 


11.    Questions the patriotism of his opponent and fails to renounce his supporters who question his faith, endlessly insinuate he lies about it and portray his wife as a militant with hidden agendas to stage a socialist/Black Power takeover of the country.


12.    Embraces endorsement from a pastor who disparages Catholics, women, African Americans, Muslims and LGBT Americans, believes that Hurricane Katrina was punishment from God because "New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they were recipients of the judgment of God," announced a "slave sale" at the church to raise funds and believes that "the coming nuclear showdown with Iran is a certainty,"


13.    Overlooks the Bush-Rove campaign strategy of unleashing a landslide of racist attacks on him, including calling his own daughter an illegitimate half-black love child, turns around in 2004 to campaign for W's second term, throughout it all supported 9 out of 10 of his disastrous policies that has brought the nation to it knees and then embraces Rove as senior campaign adviser in 2008. 


14.    Stood silently by while fellow war hero/veteran John Kerry was swift-boated without mercy. 


 


Before any rebuttal ensues that would seek to deny, dodge and deflect, keep in mind that character assassination has been a benchmark of JM's campaign and of his supporters, so no whining allowed.  Finally, this is legitimate inquiry, given that 90% is striving so diligently not to be 90% and has hawked character as his main qualification for presidential leadership. 


You know your candidate....look up his earmarks...
A million to the hospital his wife works for after they nearly doubled her salary. Yep, he is against those pesky earmarks. The bridge to nowhere was a huge one. He is Washington politics as usual. There is no change there.

Yes, he is careful with his votes. Voted against the Infants Born Alive act twice. Managed, with the 130 presents, to show up for what was important to him..denying medical care for an infant who managed to survive an abortion. yeah, there's something to be real proud of.
New VP candidate allowed to appear

for 30 seconds - no talking - for news cameras with world leaders.  Now, let's hear you say she doesn't have any foreign experience -- here look at this picture.


 


What possible write-in candidate has all the necessary
exists, then why were they not nominated?
Whatever. But I think your candidate was losing
Sometimes he actually looked a little confused. Petit mal, perhaps?


McCain the best candidate
I agree
The candidate who ran from the economy...
Obama voted for the bailout and that is ALL he did. That is not running from it? He still wants to spend trillions, won't say he is willing to cut spending, and wants to RAISE taxes in an economic downturn. You can't turn around the markets by raising taxes on corporations and the so-called "rich." Common sense should tell you that.

McCain has run from nothing. All Obama does is repeat the same old vagaries and NEVER gets specific about anything, but why should he? You obviously don't care. lol.
That's easy. Because he is the best candidate

Absolutely he would not be a candidate right now. nm

Hello. Obama is not the war without end candidate.
2 + 2 = what now? The endorsement is logical and makes perfect sense. After you read it, then YOU think about it.
Sorry to hear there is no candidate who you
Better luck next time around. Seriuosly.
Oh so you are like your candidate - a cheater?
Of course, a republican would think of a way to get 200 votes in there by cheating; not uncommon in the republican party at all. 
So...you are FOR anyone asking a Presidential candidate...
a question be subject to a law enforcement background check and the findings made public? Bye bye civil rights. Unreal.
I don't think you can blame in on either candidate (sm)
It is merely by virtue of the fact that they are different races that the the hidden racism in our country has risen up to such extremes, in both directions. It has become a battle of the races. It is almost a matter of pride at this point. And pride is the root of so many bad things.
Unfortunately, neither candidate encompasses everything I believe (sm)
I can't have it both ways, whether I want to or not. I have to pick one. And I cannot pick Obama. I cannot support someone who will allow babies who have been developing for 9 months to be murdered. I don't mind giving more to welfare actually. But again, I can't have both ideals in one candidate.
Maybe you should listen to what your own candidate said about
him when he was pressed.  He said 'he is NOT a socialist, he is NOT a Marist, he IS a good man."  With that from McCain's  own mouth, looks like you could at least agree with your own candidate and get over it.
does that mean you are a puppet? or is your candidate one? nm.

2012 candidate
A possible candidate. I hope so.

Don't get too excited.... my candidate
At least my candidate wasn't buying his votes through ACORN and offering a pint of whiskey or a pack of cigarettes JUST to register to vote and to top that off folks, "we'll give you a free ride from your corner crack dealership right to the front door of the voting center; better yet, we'll even TELL you who to vote for so ya don't even have to think for yourself, since you didn't in the first place..... just let ACORN do all the work for ya you dimwitted little souls".

Is that what you meant by beating the streets? ROFL!!!!!
Which candidate meets this definition? sm
IMO neither, but I am curious to see who thinks they do. We have some Republicans calling themselves conservative, but they more closely resemble Fabian socialists.
Out of curiousity...which candidate do you support for the...
nomination?
Let's play "stump the candidate."
It was a setup. This from a Latin American who heard the interview:

Basically, McCain was getting questions about Hugo Chavez, about Evo Morales, and about Raul Castro and then when the interviewer pivoted to Spain’s José Zapatero, McCain responded with some boilerplate about his approach to Latin America being that we need to stay close to our friends and stand strong against our enemies.

Perhaps he did not know the name of the President of Spain, and when thrown out there with enemies of this country with no qualifier....I have no doubt Obama or Biden either one would have failed the "test."

Obama didn't know how many states are in this country, either...after 3 guesses. I am more comfortable with someone who can't immediately recall the name of the President of Spain than a President who doesn't know how many states are in the country he is going to govern.

Sheesh.
I meant that favors your candidate -
Need more coffee here. But I think you get the message.
It is sad that you have a candidate you cannot trust or respect!
We accept your jealousy of our candidate, who we truly believe in and unequivocally support, as the highest compliment!

It is a shame that you can't experience the incredible feeling of hope and excitement for the future of the United States, as millions of Americans do, with Barback Obama.

Vaya con dios, Barack!
race is a nonissue. But IMO he is not the best candidate.
He is impressive, but the radical associations he has, belonging to the "black theology" or so-called "social gospel" church (until it bothered his campaign), his ideas on changing healthcare, his thoughts on the life issues, etc etc DO make up my decision to go with McCain/Palin. On the church thing, IMO there is only one gospel, and its not black and its not social, its the death/burial/resurection of Christ. I imagine color will bother some, but probably very few. for the demographics record, i am white, 55 yo, living in middle USA in a town of less than 150. As far as people answering honestly, there is no reason not to on line. I think you'll get very honest answers.
