Freudian slip...........sm
Should have been KOOL aid...not KOOK aid.......but then again...............
Perhaps it was a freudian slip...
Freudian slip. Meant unimpeachable source.
sm
I found a Freudian slip too - present elect Clinton (not president erect)
HA HA HA - but then if the shoe fits. HA HA HA
Huh? Is he still a prisoner?
.
Is being a prisoner of war qualification to be President?
With all due respect...Do you know how many men and women have sacrificed for this country and become prisoners of war? Do you think each and every one of them is qualified to be President of the United States because they were once held captive by the enemy? If that is all McCain has going for him, it just doesn't cut it! In my opinion, being a prisoner of war is way down at the bottom of the list of qualifications for being President of the United States. It should not even be an issue!
WHAT is GOOD about that? Especially if the prisoner is innocent.
Even the guilty ones might just confess to ANYTHING, just to stop the torture that often goes so far as to cripple a human being for life.
is it right to torture a prisoner to prove that he is innocent?..sm
More prisoners are tortured to death or drippled for life because they do not have anything to confess.
"Blue-blooded" (must be a Freudian) Americans for you are
bigots, lobbyists up to their eyeballs in subprime and condescending, cluless politicians who assess the meltdown as a mental recession and call taxpayers "whiners"?
But, of course, they are. That explains why you buy into the myth about "middle-eastern terrorists (who have killed thousands of innocents) and calling them his friends, or for that matter, home grown terrorists who are his friends."
By the way, did I miss a slur along the way? Which Middle-Eastern terrorist who has killed thousands of innocents is Obama friends with now? This is a new one on me. Please enlighten.
Not a slip - he was having brunch with OBL
Yes, you heard that correctly. I guess I should have added that because the two were having brunch that morning you could have called that "freaky".
I was and still am totally offended by the original posters remarks (see my latest post but with the name of "me") - I wrote that.
I am offended by the comparison, but people want to keep writing about it defending it. What you see as "freaky", I see as "vile and offensive". I would be equally as offended if someone made a comparison between John McCain and some horrible person. People may see the similarities (I never thought about it) but we certainly don't need to bring them up unless of course your for one side and want to plant OBL's name with Barack and Joe's so that people will somehow think the two together. And believe me, I've seen enough Youtube and read enough articles to know there are some people in this country who aren't quite "up on events" who think because the name sounds similar they must be connected somehow.
I can't tell you how upsetting this post has been. I forget where I saw this, but on some website somewhere I saw someone who was an "Obama fan" that had a picture of John McCain & some horrible person that looked similar to McCain and I think they titled it "coincidence?" I also commented on that site saying I found it offensive they would try to connect the two because they looked alike.
So when we're talking about two decent men (and some not so decent traits for both of them), but they are running for President and I don't know which I would vote for yet, I don't need any "coincidence" or "freaky" comments.
Oops - my slip it was OBL's brother - thanks for correcting me
On Sep 11, the morning of the attack, Bush Sr. meets with members of the Carlyle Group in Washington. Bin Laden's own brother was at the meeting.
Sorry about the mixup, thanks for pointing it out.
The Muslim slip-up in full context
He didn't say he made a mistake, at least not directly after speaking the phrase, but please listen to the video and decide for yourself. It has been taken out of context.

Probably because she feels as I do that
there is going to be some cookedness going on. They have already predicted that there are going to be technical difficulties. We will not even find out who won by Wednesday.
It feels to me like..........sm
the people who are participating in this (apart from the vendors....they are just there to make a buck) are preparing for the invasion of the Beatles or the Super Bowl or some other pop culture event. It just doesn't seem dignified to me, especially in light of the dignity Mr. Obama tends to project. The car covered in MLK pictures and blaring Obama speechs seems to be "whipping up the crowds." There is too much of a sense of hero-worship here for my taste.
this is what it feels like to be in the
minority.
kinda sucks huh?
Now you know how Rush feels. sm
Only he really IS deaf.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way
I have a really hard time with the religous nut bags who have their own idea of what is right or wrong. Maybe right and wrong is not the correct words. I just wish they would mind their own busness and not push their opionions/viewpoints on other people as though what they say is correct. Like one poster said years ago there was segregation... can't imagine that happening today, just like inter-racial marriage or gay marriage. What is wrong with sharing your love for another person no matter what shape, color, size or sex they are. I definitely think this needs to be changed - period! There should be no question about gay marriage. You love a person and want to get married then that's it you get married. The question is when is some politician going to stand up and do the right thing. So I say live in peace and harmony. Do not tell me how I should and should not live and I won't tell you how you should or should not live. And for pitty's sake - stop making gay marriage a political issue. It is a personal issue between two people and nobody's elses business unless they want to tell you about it. - Okay that's my rant of the day.
Wow - maybe now you know what it feels like to be a Republican
And have to fend of attacks.
How'd you like it?
LOL
Knowing how he feels
about the military, and based on what I've been hearing I believe it is ƈ years mandatory service' which would be more like community service, peace corps, that civilian corps he's trying to start, etc. Although a hitch in the military would probably also fulfill the obligation.
Feels good!
That's right...... why don't we all just teach our kids that if it "feels good" then just do it... the heck with the consequences.... just go ahead and do it!!
That's the problem now! No responsibility for their actions!
Get a CLUE!!!!
I don't know what rabid hatred feels like.
Would you please describe it to me?
What does a person who feels the war is wrong do then? sm
Sit quietly until the war is over, because attempting civil debate with people who are not trying to hear what you have to say is not working.
hmmmm....four against one....sure feels like a gang to me....lol
I really don't care to engage in dialogue with four or five people on this board whose only goal at the moment is to ridicule Sarah Palin, in every context imaginable. And not to mention, the current conservative poster on the board, which at the moment happens to be me.
So bye all....I know I've been civil and polite to everyone here.
Can you say the same?
And by the way....Sarah Palin is worth her weight in gold. Can't change my mind, no matter how much you trash her.
Carry on.....
Wonder how it feels to have your own party's analyst
Wow. Talk about condescending. Can you say party defection?
I took that as Peggy feels the economy is going to
to finally not to worry about how she will put gas in her car and how she will pay her mortage. I highly doubt Peggy is looking for a free ride. She's looking for an answer.
Again, this is all left up to interpretation of how you feel about Peggy's comment. Typical pubs will bash Peggy because they think they'll have to pay Peggy's mortgage, which is wrong.
There are already programs in place, i.e., welfare, section 8 housing, etc. Why does the government helping those in need surprise everyone at this point? I'll tell you why because the republicans have managed to smear Obama's plan and that's all they've got. The same old plans of Bush is what they have; that's it. Oh, wait they Governor Palin; yeah she's intelligent enough to fix anything with her overspending and "fixing of the books."
I don't think the good 'ole USA needs more "fixed books" to suit the suits. I'm off my soapbox now I guess.
I can't believe how many people on here honestly believe that Barack Obama is going to just let people have free gas and free homes. That's absurd.  That doesn't grow the economy.
How the World REALLY Feels About Obama
This is an excellent article. It includes pretty dramatic graphs that I wasn't able to copy and post, and I would urge anyone who is unbiased and is truly interested in giving the President-Elect a chance to succeed -- JUST A CHANCE -- click on the link and see for yourselves.
Foreign poll favours Democrat but shows hostility to US
Julian Glover
guardian.co.uk, Friday October 17 2008 00.01 BST
People around the world are pinning their hopes on Barack Obama in next month's presidential election, according to an international survey published today. It shows that America can no longer count on the friendship even of its closest neighbours and allies after eight years of the Bush presidency. Only a minority in the countries surveyed describe relations with the US as friendly.
The research, carried out by eight leading newspapers including the Guardian, finds overwhelming support for the Democratic candidate. He would win by a landslide in every country surveyed, including Britain, where he is ahead of the Republican candidate John McCain by 64% to 15%.
Support for Obama is stronger than backing for John Kerry in 2004, when the Guardian participated in a similar polling exercise. Then, the Democrat was the preferred candidate of 50% of British people.
The poll, conducted by papers including France's Le Monde, Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun, Canada's LA Presse and Mexico's Reforma, also shows that opinion of America has dropped sharply since the start of the decade. In France 75% say their view of the US has got worse or much worse since President George Bush replaced Bill Clinton in 2001; in Canada 77%; in Switzerland 86% and in Japan 62%.
People everywhere have turned to Obama. He would win by a simple majority in six of the eight countries surveyed, including Canada, where he leads McCain by 70%-14%, and Japan, where the margin is 61%-13%.
French voters are even more hostile to the Republican candidate, who gets the backing of only 5%, against 68% who hope Obama will win.
In British results, from ICM/Guardian polling, 67% of voters say their opinion of the US is worse than it was before the Bush presidency began. Only 21% say it has improved.
But the special relationship endures. People in Britain are more likely than in any of the other seven countries surveyed to say relations are friendly: 49% think this is the case, against 18% who say relations are tense and 30% who say they are neutral.
Support for an Obama presidency is strong among all types of voters in Britain - 64% want him to win. He is most popular among more prosperous voters, where he has 71% backing, and least popular among people at the bottom of the socio-economic scale, 54% of whom want him to become president.
Elsewhere, only in Poland and Mexico, both emerging democracies, is there any hesitation about the prospect of an Obama victory. In Poland he leads by 43% to 26% and in Mexico by 46% to 13%.
Many people now fear rather than warm to America. In France 25% of voters say relations with the US are tense, against 38% who say they are friendly and 39% who think they are neutral. In Japan only 16% say friendship and 19% tension, with 62% neutral. In no country does a majority think relations should be described as friendly.
Even America's two neighbouring states are sceptical of US intentions. Only 23% of Mexicans describe relations as friendly and 28% say they are tense. In Canada, which has just re-elected a Conservative minority government, voters are strongly supportive of a Democratic presidency; 43% say relations with the US are friendly and 14% tense.
The survey also finds strong opposition to any attack on Iran and - in the six countries questioned on the issue - majority support for a rapid withdrawal of US forces from Iraq.
The possibility of military intervention in Iran is opposed by a majority everywhere except in Poland and Britain.
In Britain 47% say the next president should specifically rule out an attack, against 42% who say options should be left open.
Each newspaper involved in the survey used professional polling organisations, including ICM for the Guardian in Britain. Research was carried out this month, except in Poland, where polling took place in September.
Although the methodologies used differ - which may affect exact comparisons - the scale of Obama's lead everywhere outweighs any variation in results.
Research was carried out by: La Presse, Canada (1,500 telephone sample); the Guardian, UK (1,007 telephone, October 10-12 2008); Le Temps, Switzerland (600 telephone); Le Monde, France (1,000 face to face); Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan (3,000 face to face); Reforma, Mexico (850 telephone); Le Soir, Belgium (1,007 telephone); Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland, (1,000 telephone)
q · This article was amended on Tuesday October 21 2008. A graphic showing the results of a poll on how the US is viewed around the world reversed the findings for Belgium. We stated that 39% of Belgians polled said their opinion of the US had changed for the worse since the start of the Bush presidency, and 52% said it had changed for the better. Those figures should have been the other way round.

Ogden basically feels that
censorship is unconstitutional. That was his reason for not having restrictions on certain websites in libraries and schools. However, as a parent, I do not feel comfortable knowing that people can go to porn sites in libraries where my child might see this or at school where children might pull this stuff up. If people want to look at porn on the internet, they can feel free to buy their own computer and watch it from the privacy of their home, but not where children can see. Also, I do not see why it was important to Ogden to oppose a law stating porn distributors had to verify with documentation the age of their models. Doing away with this law would make child pornography easier to do. Having a law making them prove the models age, to me, is a responsible thing to do and also will prevent underage children being used in lewd sexual acts.
I just cannot support a man who would not allow restrictions for obscene sights in public libraries and schools and not see why it is important to have laws to verify that a person is of legal age to be involved in pornography.
Seriously, pornography is intended for the privacy of our homes with adults. Not in public places or involving children whether those children be watching or actually involved in the porn.
This is not a personal attack on Obama. I honestly wouldn't like anyone if they had these views on pornography. I personally feel that all appointees should be scrutinized whether it be dem or pub. I think if we hold them to higher standards than we have, maybe we will start getting some honest people in Washington.
Not everyone who reads the Koran feels that way
and if you're going to go there you better include the Bible. I know thousands of people who interpret what the Bible says, and these are the sick ones who kill doctors who perform abortions and they blow up abortion clinics.
No difference to me. That's why I'm not involved in any organized religious group.
From Hair, Let the sun shine! It feels good.

Right! Obama only feels obliged to the Clintons...nm

Being kind to other people feels good, too.
Bigotry in the name of religion - Que lastima!
