I sure hope so...this closet is a little scary, too!

Where did I ever say I don't post under other monikers?  

Taiga is the name I have used on the Medquist board for just about as long as this board has been in existence.  I had always thought it wise to keep a political persona separate from a work persona but with all these accusations of fraud and "untruthfulness" I will no longer be using Teddy and will stick to Taiga from now on with any posting I do on the MTStars board. 

Actually my original moniker on the political board, going back several years, even back to when both libs and cons were put together under one grouping was "Observer."  When you began posting as "Observer" I switched to Teddy for obvious reasons.  So in the end, there really are more than one of us elitist, snobbish jerks out there!!

You know, the same could be said about religion --- which is just another "choice."  As in keep your sermons to yourself.  Maybe I don't want my children exposed to fanatics who believe in a nonexistent being, but you guys just keep on preaching.  The ironic thing about your post is that religion itself is a choice.  It is a choice to believe.  So, you think everyone else should abide by what you choose to believe -- as opposed to how they choose to live.  Quite a double standard you have there. 

I am not enthralled with her as well.  I see her as someone who straddles both sides of the fence, or as you aptly put it, a closet Republican. I had a high opinion of her, but it seemed to me that when Bush's popularity was at an all time high she bent with the wind to include her vote on Iraq. Iraq had been so closely monitored for so many years and under such scrutity there was no way Iraq had any undetected weapons of mass destruction.  That woman was in the White House for 8 years and had to know that was not the case, yet she went right along with it as it was the politically popular thing to do at the time.  I lost my respect for her after that. The exciting thing is that there are so many candidates out there now. I also like Chris Dodd, but I don't think he has too much of a chance. Anyway the debates will be coming and the voters will have a good variety of candidates to listen to and field out.

I wonder if the Catholic *terror group* was being spied on before or after this became public.  You know how truth and light are with the Bush crowd:  If you expose the truth about their actions, you WILL Plamegated, Swiftboated or just generally trampled on.

This just further proves that if you're not evangelical and born again, you may as well hang it up because you simply don't count as an American any more.  You don't belong either here on earth or in heaven as far as they're concerned.

They act more like the antichrist than people who follow the teachings of someone who was LOVING and TOLERANT, like Jesus.

Have you checked out your McSaint as thoroughly?  What about his hair-trigger temper for example?  Have you watched the video of his exchange with the mother of the Vet still MIA in the congressional hearing?  Not exactly a kindly man. What about the Palin investigation that the results of that investigation won't be released until after the election?

Could it be that if the majority of the people intend to vote for Obama (or against McCain) that the majority agree that McCain does not need to be in the White House?

I personally find McCain just as scary, if not more so, than Obama.

Bush has done a LOT of work on this during his administration (which isn't over yet) when he could have been doing things like securing our borders.  This is one of the reasons people are frightened of him and don't trust him.

I'm glad this is coming to the surface now so that Obama doesn't get blamed for all this later -- if there IS a "later."

I will not vote republican for multiple reasons going back to the Reagun administration and I think Palin is a joke. It's like Dubya trying to put Harriett Myers on the supreme court - WHAT!!!!!  Lies? Lets talk about lies. Like being led into a war with no end in sight due to LIES. Our children being slaughtered in that country for nothing - except maybe oil. Tax cuts? I don't know about you, but I'm not in the upper 10% tax bracket, so I didn't reap any benefits from the so-called "tax breaks." Lets not forget the worst deficit this country has ever seen all due to Dubya's reckless spending. And never, never, never forget Katrina. That was genocide. Let's toss in Bill Clinton's "sexual misconduct." Hmmm.....I don't want anyone in my bedroom. That was Hillary's problem - not the country's. But we have Foley playing footsie with the congressional pages, whatshisname and his wide stance in airport bathrooms and don't forget that religious nut who was good buddies with Dubya and visited the white house on occasion that was snorting meth and having sex with a male prostitute. How's that for family values????? No child left behind? What a crock. We have been manipulated over and over by the current administration as well as by the media. They swallowed the Kool-Aid, too; until Katrina. It took that disaster to open their eyes, but they seem to have closed again. We have the patriot act, no habeas corpus and if the republicans get in again, they will line up the supreme court with their right-wing fanatics who think that everyone should abide by their MORAL rules. You cannot legislate morality. And anyone with half a brain would realize that abstinence does not WORK. Palin's daughter for example. Take away birth control, take away abortion - who's going to pay for all of these kids? The republicans aren't going to fund any programs to help them. Lets just step back 50 years and start all over again. My God! Wake up!  You'll find more babies in dumpsters and illegal abortions will wend their way back into society creating more misery and death. I value my rights. I value the right to decide what is best for me. I don't think it is the right of our government to determine the outcome of my life. I guess it does take 8 years to ruin a country. Look how divisive everyone is. Voting republican is voting against your own best interests. The trickle down theory DOES NOT WORK. You will not benefit from any of these proposals - they are proposed to keep big corporations and greed on the upswing. My parents retired with good pensions - will you? My parents had great insurance that paid the WHOLE bill - do you? My mother made more money when she retired (20 years ago) than I do currently. Wages have not gone up. Gas has gone up. Groceries have gone up. The cost of living has gone up as well as insurance policies, medications. Corporate America treats its employees like slaves. There is no compassion - just greed. Vote republican and you will fall on your own sword. Bill Maher said it best "Americans are stupid and are getting stupider; they deserve the leader they elect." I am praying Obama who graduated from Harvard due to his own sweat and hard work gets elected. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth and he knows what it is like to be on the ugly end of the stick. 

so many people stand by Barrack Obama.  When you actually stop to look at the whole picture....it shows that Barrack Obama is not the type of person that we can trust to be the president of our country. 

His associations with Ayers and Rev. Wright is enough to call into question his character and those aren't the only two questionable associations.  His dealings with ACORN.  The idea that he spent money for education not focusing on testing but focusing or pushing radical ideas into education. 

Now he is being audited for some of the contributions he received (which I'm sure will be swept under the rug just like every thing else).  The fact that people were encouraging people to vote an absentee ballet in Ohio and bringing people in by the bus loads....this opens up the question of voter fraud. 

I do not feel comfortable with someone so extreme left as Obama.  We need someone closer to the middle.  How are they going to reach over the aisle when he is so extreme left? 

His attending Rev. Wright's church for 20 years, being married by him, baptisting his children, refusing to denouce him until his party made him denounce him.....just shows me that he is a racist and truly believes what Rev. Wright preaches. 

As for him leading our country....his government programs will not work.  We have no money for it.  He plans to end the war in Iraq to pay for his government programs, but he knows we can't just pull out of Iraq and now there is trouble brewing in Pakistan.  What will Obama do if we have to fight over in Pakistan?  His plans just will not work and no one will listen to that.  All they hear is change.  A promise that Obama cannot keep. 

In his four years in the senate, he has asks for billions of dollars worth of earmarks.  He received the second highest amount of money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. I see no change coming from what he has done during his seat in the senate. 

How can people support a man like this?  I beg you all to look at the big picture.  Stop listening to what you hear on TV and actually dig in and do the research.  If people would take their blinders off and listen to more than just the promise of change, they would realize that Barrack Obama has a very sketchy political history and associations with scary individuals and associations with ACORN that bullied people into getting bad loans...which is also what helped lead to this economic meltdown. 

Taxes will go up with Obama in office and that includes the middle class as well.  His government programs will cost so much that the cost of these programs will not be paid for by higher taxes to the rich alone.  It isn't feasible.

God help us all if Obama becomes the next President of the USA.  I cringe at the very thought.

There are so many fun things to do here, why risk it in Mexico?  No thank you!
