Fear Mongerer? Obama? McCain and Cheney were fear mongerer
and they STILL ARE !
A *fear tactic* . . .What is to fear in a
bother you!
Pure hysteria, much of what you say.
I might also add, that as a casual observor, your hatred of conservatives, or as you so sweetly call them *CONS* is very evident. It's ludicrous to deny it. Anyone who does not agree with you, even when they are not of the political persuasian you accuse them of being, they are labeled and you send up a cry to the moderator and THEN you insult the moderator! LOL. You duplicity is quite obvious. Except, perhaps, to you. Let the flames begin!
I need to change tactics...
I should probably refrain from any dialogue and perhaps just correct posts that are obviously erroneous (like the one about poverty in the U.S.). Correcting factual errors on their posts would probably be a full time job. Besides I enjoy the research and learn lots!!
Thanks for reading and thanks for your comments.
Pure Class.
Adults acting like children once again. Proves my point every time.
I like what McCain said about the tactics not
allowing media to always be right on the scene and privy to knowledge they needn't have are that our enemies can retrieve the same info they feel the American public should know and anticipate our next moves. There are some things that should be kept quiet but media in this day and age seem to feel nothing is off limits. I agree with McCain on that point. As for "promising" to find bin Laden, I have only read that McCain says he knows how to find him and will follow him to the Gates of HeII to do so. Not saying he didn't promise it elsewhere, but I only read the above.
That's pure propaganda
Right down to the music that is being played in the background. Anyone can take bits and pieces of articles and flash them on the screen. Those aren't facts.
The democrates did not cause the financial crisis. Here are some real facts:
Since 1960 the nation's deficit has risen during every republican administration and dropped during every democratic administration.
The standard of living and income has improved for everyone in the country during every democratic administration since 1960, EVEN for the top 1% of the country. It has gotten worse for everyone in the country during every republican adminstration EXCEPT the top 1%.
While Nixon and Ford were in office interest rates for mortgages had ballooned to 11%-13% and many people in this country could not afford to buy a home. Carter brought those rates down so that more people in this country could afford to buy homes.
What caused this mess is not the people who were extended credit. Here is part of what caused it: Banks issued subprime mortgages to people at a rate they could initially afford but which would increase to an inflated rate after a period of time. Those banks then immediately sold those mortgages at the inflated rates to other banks. First-time home buyers were especially targeted. A lot of them didn't understand what they were getting into because it was misrepresented to them. They didn't know, for example, they could not refinance for a period of time without huge penalities. Then the market started to decline and many of those homeowners found themselves upside down on their loans and they were unable to refinance. Their interest rates had ballooned to rates they could no longer afford. As homeowners lost their homes the banks who were sold the loans at inflated prices were no longer able to collect on those loans. But the banks (and the CEOs) that initated those loans walked away with a great deal of money.
It was because of greed. And the deregulation that the republicans passed allowed it to happen.
pure supposition and
not supported by any available information.
Smear tactics?
Obama was asked this question, one of a few journalist with some integrity, as to why he allowed these women to be removed? After all, he knew it but didn't stop it. He stumbled and fumbled and fumbled and stuttered for words because he is so used to having no one ask him the hard questions, he didn't know what he should say because anything at that point would have been back peddling and he knew it.
Obama out of his own mouth, not made up stuff like you want to believe, said he had gotten himself a little 'ole Muslim liason to help smooth things over, because the last people he wants to offend are the Muslims, Heaven forbid he offends the Muslims. The heck with offending the taxpayer by insinuating they are too dumb to handle their own lives, so he'll handle it for ya by providing all your needs.
Mostly just scare tactics
...
Can you say scare tactics? sm
I knew you could.
I hope your dad's phone has caller ID and that he reports this call to the authorities and to the telephone company.
That's because it is pure hogwash.

Why don't you research the tactics and find
out what's true. If you still don't care, then that's just on you.
You are a liar, pure and simple
While parts of this may be from a court brief, they are taken wholly out of context and your entire posting is a cut and paste from a neocon website article. Time to 'fess up!
Your source of "facts" will always be totally different from the liberal board's source of facts so we are never going to agree on much of anything in general. SO therefore we cannot debate.
sounds like intimidation tactics...
I am the original poster and I stick with my original post and my opinion.
it was called as I saw it. it was 'questionable' to me and something I WILL consider when time to make that choice.
this country is full of children whose parents are too busy working or attending to their own needs. schools not only provide lunches for children anymore, they provide breakfast, and even dinners for some. more and more children are being pawned off as the responsibility of those other than the parents, babysitters, government, day care, on and on, and more and more are left to the horrors of predators, on-line, off-line, in their schools, in their playgrounds.
I was looking for some sign of what kind of mother this person is and I was not happy with what I saw, period.
no one was trying to put anyone back to barefoot and pregnant, or whatever you wrote. BUT if they wanted that it is their business.
frankly, I have always envied women who did not have to work and could stay home and raise their beautiful children. that was a luxury I never had nor did my children.
that is my opinion.
Pure trash from beginning to end.
Are you not aware how old this smear campaign is and how ineffective it has been thus far? Though it seems like a couple of lifetimes ago, I do recall it being around at least as far back as February. It was kept alive all the way up until Obama successfully clenched the nomination of his party despite the Hannity cult's diligence to make it stick. It finally faded out after their original mission had failed miserably and he emerged from the primaries on top. You can post this stupidity until the end of time but it isn't going to accomplish anything except to make you look like the ignorant, out of touch bigot that you are, marginalize the fringe that subscribes to these beliefs and make your own party look like fools.
I am a WASP American who has many more Moslem friends than Christians for reasons that would be a waste of time to explain to someone with such a narrow, tiny brain. My relationship to that community spans more than 5 decades and my life has been enriched tenfold because of it. I have traveled there, lived amongst them, married into a Moslem family, born Christian children from that union and buried a few along the way. I speak 2 of their languages, have read the Quran, their literature and appreciated their extensive historical contributions to the arts, music and the sciences.
I have lost count of how many of them I have known. I can tell you they are an intelligent, educated and spiritual people. They have family values every bit as strong as Americans and an even stronger sense of community. They take pride in humility and honor. In all those many years, never ONCE have I known a terrorist among them. I know they are out there and I know that unfortunately the politicized version of Islam is every bit as ugly as the politicized version of Chritianity.
It makes no difference whether Obama is a Christian with Moslem ties or a Moslem who has converted (which he is not). As a matter of fact, I have also known many Moslems who have converted, but Obama is not one of them. He is a remarkable human being and this country is blessed to have him as a choice for leadership in this election. What I can tell you is that the ugly, bigoted sentiments expressed here are universally repulsive to all people of faith. Today, you have made me feel ashamed to call myself a Christian.
More like a voice of scare tactics.

desperate smear tactics. nm
.
Just more scare-tactics propaganda. nm
.
More scare tactics...just in a rhyme!
Go Obama!
C'mon, GP.....maybe not scare tactics....
maybe honest concern. Just because Obama won, you think that all disappears? Of course not. Had Obama lost, would all your concerns about McCain just magically disappear? I would think, based on your posts, you could be a little more charitable about it. Your guy won. Don't expect the rest of us to embrace him immediately. We have a trust issue and it is up to him to work his way out of that. Being sniped at by his supporters does not help us in that journey. :-)
Because it's a lie, pure, plain and simple...
We do have free speech but it is wrong to make things up about people. Didn't your mom teach you that? The stuff about Palin and Bush are facts. What you put about Obama being compared to Hitler is trouble making slander and liable and hateful. I won't even respond to you anymore on this board because it gives attention to a person who doesn't deserve it. All I can say is OBAMA WON AND THAT MEANS THE MAJORITY WANTED HIM SO TOUGH NOOGIES.
I don't take pride in underhanded tactics to win

What a load of pure dung! nm

Hmmmm, pure dung? Definitely an

Sounds a bit too much like Bush's tactics.

Didn't say I agree with his tactics.....
Just noticing how poster doesn't seem to care for anyone protesting against gays.
It wouldn't matter if it were ANYONE from ANY church, poster would have a problem with that too!
I think Rev Phelps needs to do a little more Bible reading. His methods are sickening.
channel 2 reported on recruiters tactics
Channel 2 did a bit on their nightly news. I believe it was a college paper reporter who went undercover and told the recruiters he had done drugs and other things that would have disqualified him and the recruiters were salivating at the thought of signing him up and told him ways to get into the service even though. These recruiters would take a dead man if his body was still warm, for pete sake. I say, you need people in the military, check out the people in the administration, ask if their children will join for the *better good of all to bring democracy to the world*.
No scare tactics. Just pointing out that we don't live
If we don't start talking with some of these countries, and trying to find a way to get them thinking of other things to do with their artillery than aim it at us, then sooner or later, our little plastic bubble could get blown to bits. We're not invincible.
Read between the lines....pure sarcasm.....nm

Republican Mantra - Scare Tactics
You better vote for John McCain or the Boogeyman is going to get us. McCain couldn't even keep himself free from the enemy, how is he going to keep the entire United States free from them? Oh, I know, he is going to send Sarah Palin after the Boogeyman...she'll protect us!
Scare tactics!! Ohhh, be afraid, be very
afraid. You rightwingers are such wimps! Well, as Roosevelt once said and as Barack Hussein Obama repeats, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." The rightwingers have surely gotten to the skittish. I, for one, am very afraid of McPalin. Now there's reason to fear them. They have nothing to offer, just more of the same old politics and power-hungry greed. Get away from me! If you want to base your decisions on lies, then you all deserve whatever comes from McPalin, but the thing is that our country will be stuck in the mire for another four years. So big deal, McCain was shot out of the sky...so were hundreds of others, others have given their lives for this country but McCain votes against any bill that will cost anything to help them....some leader he will make. Makes me wanna puke! Country First...doubt it!!
Pure garbage. I actually think the repubs leaked that...sm
personal baloney about Sarah to gain her the sympathy vote.
I investigated this and your allegations are pure garbage. nm

Eden Pure Heater answer
We had one last year for the bedroom. It died a week after the warranty ran out. Didn't last a full winter and we only turned it on 2 hours before going to bed.
Try getting in touch with them. Couldn't find a phone number. Found the ad and wrote a letter. Never heard a thing.
Scare tactics or stern warnings.....sm
Just got to thinking about this after ExMQMT made the statements she did below about being scared. Now, I know there was an element of sarcasm in her post, and I can appreciate the dark humor of it.
However, I think people really should look at the big picture here and understand that, with all of the findings (and yes, they are documented) of Obama's associations and religious upbringing, he could very possibly be a threat to our nation in a lot of ways. When the Russians were "loaded for moose" back in the 1950s, people were warned about the danger, but a lot of them chose to call it scare tactics. Granted, Russia never blew us off the map, but knowing that they could and that they were a threat to our country made our citizens more aware that there was more to life than what was going on in their own secure back yard. Saying that Obama is a threat to us because of his associations and religious beliefs (Muslim or Wright-brand religion) is not a scare tactic to coerce people into voting for him. It is a stern warning that this man is a wolf in sheep's clothing and that we need to be aware of the implications of electing someone who is such a person.
This is brainwashed hogwash, pure and simple.
You've been lied to since the get-go; 1948, to be precise.

Scare tactics? If it was supposed to be scary....it wasn't...
it is just odd that the combination of the names worked out that way. Freaky, yes. Scary...not hardly. It it was meant to be scary it was lost on this Independent.
Pure entertainment (or possibly not) see link inside...

Thanks...glad you could see it for what it was. Star Wars, pure and simple...nm
Love that race card. Pure class. sm
This is coming from someone who trained at the gym for 2 years with a black guy. Yeah, I'm racist, all right.
Like Bill Clinton said, "they played the race card from the bottom of the deck!"
This is bulls**t. Pure and simple. But you guys LOVE the troops. News flash. SM
Recruiters are troops.
That's disgusting.
“We haven't even buried the dead yet, and they're trying to pin the untold lives and livelihoods lost on an opponent for political gain.”
There does not seem to be any cellar-bottom slime pit these conservatives won't wallow on if they can find it. It never occurs to these subhuman slugs that the outrage over poor performance by this administration - to put it mildly - is occurring because PEOPLE ARE DYING. They can't forget their own selfishness and blind leader-worship for even one week. It's truly a disgusting and, we hope, branding behavior they will never live down.
Day after day after day, people have no food, no water, no place to go, no information. They are forced to sit in the sun under armed guard while their babies and old people die. Even when they get lucky and get on a bus and get to Houston, they are turned away and told to go elsewhere.
Let's face it, conservatives, your bumbling leader and his incompetent crony appointees have made a terrible disaster umpteen times worse. Condi goes out shoe-shopping while Americans bake to death on swamped pavement. Meanwhile Bush smirks into the camera and declares we could NEVER have forseen the consequences. Please. Perhaps his worshippers are that stupid. The rest of us are not. That has nothing to do with politics - we all want those people to get the help they need. We don't want to hear stupid excuses or lectures. Help them for God's sake. Stop covering your political tail ends and blaming the victims for the government's failings. How long are you going to wait???
Yes, very disgusting.
It's a shame your lawyer was afraid to go public. My guess is he wanted to continue to work and understood how dirty politics work.
I hope, if you see any public similar examples of what happened to you, that you go public in support of the victim, since we all know how they love to Swiftboat those who expose their wrongdoings.
Disgusting
What a disgusting comment.
Disgusting!
How can Obama say that the Democratic party needs the Clinton's so badly? All they've done is given Democrats a bad name! What they need to do is kick the Clinton's out of the party and forget they ever existed! As far as Bill's behavior - doesn't surprise me - someone finally told him NO and they only way he knows how to handle it is to pout like a 3-year-old. Pathetic!!
How disgusting
Insituating that someone is racist or prejudiced simply because they say someone scares them? Grow up!
Disgusting is right...........sm
It is disgusting to me that people cannot see through Obama's platform. There will be NO ice cream!!!
Truly disgusting
I caught this either last night or the night before. It's one of those videos that you say just have to say "no, she didn't just say that did she?" For those who can't take the condescending elitist propaganda bore Keith Olberfool, Mz. Garofool's rant starts at section 3:02. I watched the first portion of the video cos I used to love him, but now it confirms why I don't watch him anymore. He spreads fear and paranoia and nothing he has to say has a shred of truth to it.
There are a lot of comments below the video that are an excellent read.
http://hotair.com/archives/2009/04/16/garofalo-outdoes-herself-tea-parties-all-about-white-power-says-d-lister/
I read a post below about some petition to sign. If anyone should be denounced it is Keith Olberman, Rachel Maddow, Anderson Cooper and anyone else who uses the derogatory term for the people who supported the tea party calling us "teabaggers". Anyone who uses that term should be fired. As I watched the two stations the other day (which was hard to do without throwing up) I have never heard so much negativity in I don't know how long, well I guess since I stopped watching them last summer.
I know they've got the lowest ratings on the air and all I say is if they keep up what they are doing I'm looking forward the the elections in 2010 when people will say enough is enough and vote out the democrats who are taking our country down. So I guess I should be happy with what they are doing. If they keep it up 2010 is going to be a great year for the republicans.
Disgusting isn't it.
The amount of money that we spend on people who aren't even citizens and yet our government keeps knocking down American citizens. Not only is it not fair but it is just downright wrong. If they want to live and work in the USA, they need to become citizens and pay their taxes, etc. Companies hiring illegals should also be fined huge bucks so they stop this BS.
