I must be living on a different planet, listening to an Obama poster. What he actually said was "WE can change American and WE can change the world."

You people are scared to death of her.

I have know some people in my life who are....sm
always flying the American flag or have worn a flag pin (or a cross) on their lapel who if truth be know are dispicable human beings, not patriotic or religious in any way. It is what is in your heart and mind that matters not what you display to the rest of the world via a symbol on your lapel.
Pro-life people are very generous
Many pro-life people are involved with politics and volunteer at the crisis pregnancy center. Many open their homes to young pregnant women. I know several who have adopted or fostered special needs children.
Crisis pregnancy centers will help any woman who is pregnant or has a child with material needs. They will give her diapers, clothing, gift cards and find her a dwelling place if necessary.
Attend any pro-life meeting you will meet wonderful people there. It's not just with pregnancy they help with, they also volunteer to help elderly too.
Are you saying only religious people are pro life?
If so, you are wrong.
Do people in your real life let you speak to them that way?
I'm just wondering, because I have been nothing but respectful this evening, and in fact, had quite a nice debate with several people. You like to say that debate is welcome here, but your post just now proved that you are wrong. If you can't see the hypocrisy in your post, then it is useless to try and explain it to you.
Ummm....people whose life centers around...
martyrdom for Islam...any other regime, I might agree with you. It only takes one man to start that in motion, and in case you have not noticed, radical Islam does not care how many of its own it sacrifices for the cause. These are not rational people.
I have never in my life seen a group of people in such denial over EVERYTHING!! Get your heads out
You people deny that the dems are responsible for the housing crisis. Do some objective research!! They most certainly DID cause the crisis! You deny that the voter fraud from ACORN is a big deal, and that they are not trying to sway the election to any particular side!!! There were over 200,000 fraudulent votes in Ohio alone!! I was watching on CNN about this (the station that NEVER says anything negative towards liberals), and they were even talking about what a huge problem this is. They showed a ballot with the name of Jimmie Johns. They found the address, and it was Jimmie Johns restaurant - and there are 10s of thousands of ballots like this. And who worked for ACORN? Yup - the people's Messiah Obama. And somehow you all will find a way to minimize this and twist the facts, and probably blame me for telling this to you...
Taking revenge, killing other people, does this bring your friend back to life?..nm
There has to be another way!
Be scared. Be reeeeally scared.

I am not in your life....I am in the life of the baby...
and will continue to speak for the baby. Again, my right.
Same BS, different day to keep everyone scared.
At a time when even so called ‘respectable, unbiased’ news (organizations) MSNBC (cough cough) are covering the growing possibility of Government involvement in 9/11, on a day that Israel decides to go ahead and bomb Beirut proper, when Lamont wins on an anti-war ticket (Bush accused competing Democrats as being weak on terror), we suddenly hear of this ‘plot’ to kill thousands on airliners. What is the probability that the timing of this disclosure was carefully crafted to deter antiwar sentiment during stateside elections, create doubt about government involvement in 9/11 and foster complacency about the destruction of Lebanon?
Don't be scared...sm
“When viewing the tape of Obama’s “57-states” statement objectively, it is plain to see that he was pretty much operating on coffee fumes and airplane exhaust at that point in the campaign (early June). I wonder how well any of us could speak if we had been to all but 2 states in the union in less than as many days? His entire statement was halting and sporadic, certainly not characteristic of his normal style of speaking when he has had adequate sleep. Stop and think, just for a minute. How many times zones did he flew over, back and forth from coast to coast, and how often did he appear in 2 states on the same day? Would it have been humanly possible for him to sock away 8, 6, or even 4 consecutive hours of sleep while keeping such a schedule? His eyes were beet red and, when he stopped before he said the “7”, they actually rolled back and forth and up and down (doll’s eyes), like my own do when I have highway hypnosis. My impression was that the pause was taken because he could not even remember if he had said “50” or “40” since he was so zonked out. If he had said “40”, then the “7” would have made sense (off by one, if he had missed 2 states, or maybe he had missed 3 and 47 would have been correct), again, considering how tired he looked and sounded. Try to ignore all the pathetically desperate spin that is out there over this just for a moment and give this some real consideration. He is a human being, flesh and blood, with physical requirements (food, water, SLEEP) and limitations. Any real human being probably should be able to understand how this could have happened. One thing is for sure. It did not happen because of senility or Alzheimer’s.
To suggest that Obama does not know how many states there are in the union is absolutely absurd. He is a Harvard graduate who is running for president. He knew how many delegates he needed and he knew how many states those delegates would come from. You can make anything you want out of a statement if you take it out of its context. This just goes to show you how low his opponents are willing to stoop with their personal attack machine, especially when they are not able to effectively argue ISSUES. Has he actually exhibited the same PATTERNS that are described in the other posts about McCain (and clearly apparent)? Think about it, minus the spin, and be honest.
If you are really worried and want any real answers about whether Obama is all for show without any real substance, stop trying to find them in chat rooms, on CNN, Fox or YouTube. Clear your brain out and start from scratch. Without prejudice, start with HIS words. You can find them on his website, under issues or in his speeches. Read and listen to HIM, not his detractors. Try his books. Read some unbiased, factual biographical information (actions speak louder than words). Like the OP said, “rise above” the media. They want to put you down in the gutter and keep you there. Don’t let them.
About his past associations. How much do you really know about them? Where did you hear about it? Did you consider your sources? If you are referring to the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, you will find some of those answers in his books as well (written way before the controversy erupted on CNN and Fox). Caution. There are no direct answers. You will have to do a genuine search for them, but they are there. That, too, requires an objective read and the ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes for a few minutes…and in this case, the shoes of a young biracial, international American man, confused and seeking clarity on what it means to be black. If you give this an honest effort, you will not find the same answers that the media outlets are trying to shove down your throat. You certainly cannot get an accurate portrayal of his character from cheap, filthy gossip, innuendo and speculation. If you want a make a real assessment, eliminate the middle man and go one-on-one….then make up your mind.
If all you hear is that he would raise taxes (another tired, tired conservative battle cry), then you have not been listening. Bill Clinton did not balance the budget with astronomical tax programs. He did it with spending restraints and eliminating pork and budget bloat. If we were not bankrolling the Iraq, Afghanistan and the war on terror ($859 billion dollars so far), tax hikes would not happen at all. Diplomacy is much, much cheaper and a whole lot more effective.
Why would anyone expect the health insurance plan to be free? Question is how much would it cost, will the coverage be better or worse, will it be accessible and affordable to more or less than the now insured. Before you slam the plan, read it. He is keeping no secrets from you. You have only to look around to other developed nations and their health care systems and compare them to ours to know just how much room there is for improvement.
Ask yourself these questions. Does anybody ever really “win” a war? Have our wars made us any more safe or secure? Doesn’t avoiding war and preventing war have any appeal to you at all? Don’t you think that, in the 21st century, we just might be evolved enough to figure out some other solutions to our conflicts and threats? For example, just how much good do you think it will do to put us back into a cold war with Russia? A guy who looks into Russian eyes and sees KGB does not know how to do anything else but that. Careful what you ask for.
Because they are scared.
And it's the nature of the beast!
scared now
i am not one that can see one thing and that just turns my mind right around when it was so decided already. BUT, in this case, I dont know what to think. I am SHOCKED. I cant believe it. I wanted so bad to vote for O. I am so upset. I cannot vote for O. I just dont feel right about it as a Christian. It doesnt matter if he doesnt support these views of him. He knows it is being done and is not doing anything to correct peoples worship of him. If he is a God fearing Christian, he should be doing this first thing. That is my opinion, no one will change that. Now I am not voting. Not at all. I dont care if it is wasting my vote, voting for either one at this point is a waste. Not going. NOPE.
You are not alone, there are many more that think that way too. be scared, be very scared. nm

I believe him and I'm scared.
Anyone here ever been the recipient of Medi-Cal/Medicaid benefits? Fasten your seatbelts..
I have a lot of friends and acquaintances from Canada who migrated HERE because of inadequate health care in their own country. Months-long waiting lists for routine procedures, days on gurneys in the halls and waiting rooms of the ED, lack of anesthesia for childbirth..etc., etc. Sounds crazy but it's reality.
We have a lot to look forward to.
Wow! Now you really scared me! Is it really THAT bad?..nm

GT things everybody's scared of her
Not me. My theory is that gt is a person who doesn't have any power over anyone and comes to this board to be some kind of faux dictator. It's really pretty sad and she's almost single-handedly shut down any meaningful conversations with her hateful pukings.
I'm not scared by gt one bit. I've figured her out. She's really a very pitiful hate filled person who wouldn't have been allowed to stay on the board in the old format.
Somebody is scared! Too funny.
Maybe you should be scared, because more than likely a big scary, American-hating Democrat will be elected by all of us God-less, America-hating liberals. LOL! I know I'm scared with George I have no brain W. Bush running things, so maybe it is your turn. Liberals are not godless and do not hate America - they just have a different view than yours - gasp, how horrible right? A different view in America! Maybe you are the one that lives in the wrong country.
And how hypocritical of you to say that you grew up on welfare but don't want others to have that option! How do you know you would be either alive or healthy if it hadn't been for the welfare that took care of you? The ignorance of all of your statements astounds me, but this is America after all, and you have a right to your own opinions, obviously.
Not scared at all....even your O said not to be cocky.....see ya on....
Let's just wait till "real" people get in those booths....no polls can accurately predict the outcome, this time included.
I am running scared
Of course you are right, Obama is closet Muslim. He was been faking practicing Christianity for 20+ years, even going so far as to have his daughters baptised just to fool us. Wow, why didn't I realize it until just now.
Oh, and the Muslims really hate the Jews. I better go find an attack to live in when Obama is elected.
Thanks so much for your help in getting me to see things so much more clearly now.
Here's something for you scared folks. s/m
Here in NW Arkansas I've had the inside scoop for some time on a situation that ought to scare the living dickens out of everyone who works for a living.
I have known for some time that Don Tyson was going to come out of retirement and take over the reins of Tyson Food again. The news story broke yesterday. By the way, Don Tyson is a rabid Republican. None of the following is heresay, I know the guy.
Most of you probably find Tyson products in your local grocery. If you eat at McDonalds you eat Tyson chicken tenders.
In the farming area where I live probably 75% of the people have either worked in some facet of the chicken industry or they have retired with a fortune they made in the chicken industry. Most people contracted with Tyson to raise their chickens. Low income workers worked in the hatcheries and chicken processing plants. Not to mention the people who had good jobs in the corporate offices. Within the last several years Tyson replaced their low income workers with illegal aliens. They started building their own chicken farms and imported Mongs from (Minnesota or somewhere) to run them at much less cost than their contract growers but they are so big they didn't replace all of their growers.
What some of you call the "low lifes" worked in this chicken business, a dirty, nasty job. Some of them did this because there is nothing else they can do. They are uneducated, some are not too bright but they WORK. I know one who can't even read and write. Most of them now drive 25-30 miles to Fayetteville to work in fast food, as janitors or whatever low-paying job they can find and you see their old jalopies by the side of the road where they've either broken down or run out of gas. These "low life people" don't want handouts, they want to work. I feel sorry for them.
Now the news flash? Tyson has bought chicken processing plants in Argentina, Brazil and China because "the cost of feed is making it cost prohibitive to do business here." This is going to not only take jobs out of this country, it is going to leave many farmers who are still growing chickens (and pork) not only unemployed but with thousands of dollars in debt because of the investments they have made in chicken farming. 20 years ago it cost $100,000 for a farmer to build a commercial chicken house. I shudder to think what it costs today. The plan is to raise chickens abroad and process them and bring them home to America.
So all of you who work for a living whether you work in the chicken industry or another, had better be scared. John McCain from his own mouth proclaimed himself to be the biggest free trader ever. Free trade hasn't worked too well for Americans has it?
The inside scoop is buy Tyson stock now. Not me. I will NOT profit by costing American people their jobs.
I've changed my plean from "God Bless America" to "God Have Mercy on America."
How does this relate to the election? For one thing I don't think we need another "biggest free trader ever" in the White House.
Thanks for reporting this, but I am scared.
I know from 9/11 that Osama wanted to hurt us financially. In fact, I was waiting for a terror attack 2-3 weeks after our financial crisis to hit us in the US. Then with the elections and all, I forgot about it, but now this is brought up again. Did you hear about the Russian Nuclear Sub and had 20 deaths reported on that sub? What were they doing?
I must admit we should stock up on supplies like food, water, etc. Remember the 2000 crisis known as Y2K? I went to a lot of meetings about the Y2K. I know we are not having a Y2K problem, but it did help me to understand on what to do if power went out, food famine, money, etc.
I know all about the Palo Nuclear Power plant outside of Phoenix. In fact everything about it. Even visited the silly place. Too much knowledge actually. Care to know about it, email me. I know about the electric grid and how we could be out of power for months and how the grid is all connected to most states, except Texas may pull through it. I know why we have to have 3 day supply of water, because that is how long it will take someone to get to your neighborhood to give you more water each day in case you need it. Gosh, I even bought books about Y2K and should probably read those again because it tells you about how to handle a crisis.
Hope you live in a good neighborhood and better get to know your neighbors. You all might have to come together some time down the road during a crisis, otherwise, you could be at war with each other, stealing things, using guns and all because of fighting over things. I am thinking of worst case scenerio of course.
I think the right is scared cuz we've got em
If they don't get OVER that fear, they just might END UP with 'the runs'.
Nah, not scared. Just disappointed.
That the ignorant have elected the inexperienced and we're all gonna spend the next 4 years paying for it.
Not scared. Just disappointed.
That the uninformed have elected the inexperienced, and now we're going to have to pay for it for the next 4 years.
If I were as scared as most on this board
I would definitely invest in a bomb shelter, and go hide out until the presidency is years gone by. What a bunch of crock. Scared. You sound like a bunch of little sissy girlies, not women. Do you still have to hide behind your mother's skirts. Ohhhhh, I am so scared- (shaking going on here).
saw him on Bill Maher and he scared me!!!
Running scared? Ahhhh, don't think so
when McCain loses. The only way he will win is if they cheat - which we all know is possible - just ask Gore.
shock - blatant - scared
Picked up the emotional tone of this post. Recent study said that those who startle easily at small noises usually vote republican. Individuals who are on a more even keel usually vote democrat. Interesting to see the intertwining of theory with reality.
Scared of the map? Check out the post
and THEN wait for that election. T-minus 10 and counting.
I'm so scared I can't even type straight
I meant attic, lol!
if you want to be scared, go the the mcdonalds at walmart....nm

How pathetic. I am not scared by intelligence.

News flash for you.......their women are scared
They are afraid to even move the wrong way for fear of retribution. THey are afraid to let their daughters go to school because they fear what will happen to them on the way to school. Of course, the women will treat you with respect. The women aren't usually the problem. It's the beliefs the men have forced down their throats and those of their daughters. Don't misinterpret respect for fear, fear of doing anything that could get them beaten to death. There are some more liberal areas where beliefs are not as harsh and families are not so demanding of their women and daughters; Saudi Arabia and Iran are two of them, but even Iranian women are coming under attack again and are fearful of even crossing the street.
Like I have been told by Muslim women in this country who are no longer under the control of men from those countries, they feel such a relief and do not have to fear for their lives every day. They will tell you their sons are taught from a small age to chant verses of hate over and over again, brainwashing them. Only those that are lucky enough to be in a more liberal environment and even leave the country abroad for education purposes realize the difference in the teachings from other religions, where love is actually taught.
More scared of congress and senate than Bush.

More gutter trash, no substantiation....dems are so scared...
they have to make things up.
Cildren answering McC/Failin robocalls scared to hear
What a brilliant campaign strategy. Scaring children. Must be really proud of their candidates authorizing this lunacy.
get a life
You post once again shows you are a vile and nasty person who surmises too much about people on chat boards. You know nothing about me and you attribute too much to me. I have no control of liberal posters. I enjoy reading their posts and respond when I want to. My advice to you is get a life and stop taking postings on a tiny bulletin board so seriously. You are sounding irrational.
Life?
Well, as a practicing Jew, I believe life begins at the first breath, but I know everyone does not agree with me.
Life...
How can something that moves, has a heartbeat and brain waves not be alive? Please to explain that to me.
Life...
I never said I did not give a hoot about what you believe and I am somewhat taken aback that you accuse me when you do not even know me. I do not agree with you, no; but you are entitled to believe as you wish, and just hope that you afford me the same courtesy. So, you are saying that you are on board with abortion? It is okay because the child is not alive according to your religion...that the child has no soul until it takes its first breath? So basically taking away its chance to take that first breath by invasive surgery is not murder, because you believe the child has no soul until it breathes? I am not finding fault, I am trying to understand a different view.
life
I am not on board with abortion. Since I believe (and many Jews do too, but not all) that life begins with breath, I believe it is up to each woman to make the decision that is right for her. It is not my place to judge or condemn her choice. My family has 2 children what were very much wanted and are very much loved. I feel fortunate that I never was in a position to have to make a choice regarding my pregnancies. But, just because I didn't chose to terminate a pregnancy (for whatever reason), I certainly don't want to take that choice away from another.
Basically, (and I am not referring to you personally here) if you don't believe in abortion, don't have one, but don't push your beliefs on me or anyone else.
Nat'l Right To Life, etc.
Check some of these places if you still don't want to believe me. Plenty are out there. One search for the above (nrl.org) brought up plenty.
I'm Pro-life sm
My point is that all our tax dollars have no business being spent on bad behavior and things such as this. The mainstream media has "mainstreamed" this issue, in an attempt to minimize the subject matter a
Many people who refuse to watch FNC because they're supposedly nutty right-wingers aren't getting both sides to the story. For instance, if you go to Foxnews.com and pull up Hannity & Colmes, you'll see that the show is half liberal and half conservative. You won't find that on the others. And while you're at that site, the info regarding what Rick Warren had to say about the debate at Saddleback, and how Obama actually heard more ahead of time than McCain. Actually, it was no debate, as Obama still refuses to have a face-to-face with McCain. I guess that's presidential?
I personally prefer to know when I get my news that I get both sides of it, and the people on the network aren't afraid to put their political views out there.
It sounds like we both agree on this, so I was surprised that you asked. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough or something.
her life is obviously out of
control. A real woman attends to her responsibilities at home. Her Downs baby needs her to BE THERE and interact with her. It is not enough just to bring her into the world, she must care for her. A pregnant teenager needs her mother there to guide her through this unfortunate time in her life. Teenage pregnancy is devastating to the development of a young woman who should be preparing for her own adulthood not attending the needs of an infant. Infants of teenage mothers suffer also. Instead Mrs. Palin will be on the road campaigning for 2 months and then in the WH adjusting to her new job after that. Those sure aren't part-time activities. I don't approve of a part-time mother OR a part-time VP especially with such an elderly pres. Obama and Biden are vital individuals who have loving, stable home lives and will not be distracted from their duties.
Get a life
Duped how exactly??? They still have the ranch and are keeping the ranch. Big figgin deal.
Nothing in life is sure but............ sm
death and taxes, and Mr. Barnett very eloquently proved the latter.
A Day in the Life of a Republican
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF JOE REPUBLICAN Joe gets up at 6 a.m. and fills his coffeepot with water to prepare his morning coffee. The water is clean and good because some tree-hugging liberal fought for minimum water-quality standards. With his first swallow of coffee, he takes his daily medication. His medications are safe to take because some stupid commie liberal fought to insure their safety and that they work as advertised.
All but $10 of his medications are paid for by his employer's medical plan because *some liberal* union workers fought their employers for paid medical insurance - now Joe gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs. Joe's bacon is safe to eat because some girly-man liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packingindustry.
In the morning shower, Joe reaches for his shampoo. His bottle is properly labeled with each ingredient and its amount in the total contents because some crybaby liberal fought for his right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained.
Joe dresses, walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some environmentalist wacko liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the subway station for his government-subsidized ride to work. It saves him considerable money in parking and transportation fees because some fancy-pants liberal fought for affordable public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day. He has a good job with excellent pay, medical benefits, retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some lazy liberal union members fought and died for these working standards. Joe's employer pays these standards because Joe's employer doesn't want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or becomes unemployed, he'll get a worker compensation or unemployment check because some stupid liberal didn't think he should lose his home or go hungry because of his temporary misfortune.
It's noontime and Joe needs to make a bank deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe's deposit is federally insured by the FSLIC because some godless liberal wanted to protect Joe's money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the Great Depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae-underwritten mortgage and hisbelow-market federal student loan because some elitist liberal decided that Joe and the government would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his lifetime.
Joe is home from work. He plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the country. He gets in his car for the drive. His car is among the safest in the world because some America-hating liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. His was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers' Home Administration because bankers didn't want to make rural loans. The house didn't have electricity until some big-government liberal stuckhis nose where it didn't belong and demanded rural electrification.
He is happy to see his father, who is now retired. His father lives on Social Security and a union pension because some wine-drinking, cheese-eating liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe wouldn't have to.
Joe gets back in his car for the ride home, and turns on a radio talk show. The radio host keeps saying that liberals are bad and conservatives are good. He doesn't mention that the beloved Republicans have fought against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day.
Joe agrees: We don't need those big-government liberals ruining our lives! After all, I'm a self-made man who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have.
