scares me too
It is statements like below along with his blatant disregard for International Law and lack of respect for legally elected officials in soverign countries that scares the heck out of me. Throughout history, there have always been naysayers, people with blinders on who dont realize what is really going down until it is too late and it has affected them also, ergo, this statement:
*First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.*
"You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier." Describing what it's like to be governor of Texas.
(Governing Magazine 7/98)
-- From Paul Begala's "Is Our Children Learning?"
"I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree with each other, but that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator," Bush joked.

You know what scares me....
A man who wants to: 1) Turn us into a socialist society. 2) Who thinks when a baby comes out alive in a botched abortion, you can still get rid of it!!! 3) Who is "friends" with people who hate our country and what it stands for. Just these few things I mentioned ought to scare you death!!! Palin in no way, shape or form even compares to this.
What scares you?
His color or his name?
This is what scares me
His name does not draw the Muslim card, his background and history does. His being a past Muslim does. His trying to hide it does. His trying to hide the fact that our taxes are going to go up scares me. I'm always the first to argue with someone he's half white. A lot of people forget that. So forget the race thing. What scares me is how far he's trying to distance himself from his past. What scares me is he isn't being truthful (although that shouldn't scare me because the last presidential candidate that was truthful was Ronald Regan - everyone after that went downhill). What scares me is the democrats are panicking so bad they are grasping at straws and attacking for no good reason. They are saying she was for the bridge when they were for the bridge. They are saying she is not experienced when he is not experienced. They are acusing her of being everything that he is. Their words are a reflection of themselves. What I fear is having a democratic president and congress. I'm afraid my taxes will double if not more with another democratic president like the last time they did with Clinton. I'm afraid our rights are going to be dwindled away as citizens as the democrats slowly turn our country into a socialist state. I am scared our health care system will be turned into a socialist health care system and I won't have the freedom to go to whatever doctor I choose. I'm afraid that he's going to give Hillary a job doing something. I'm afraid that the 2nd ammendment will be taken away from us as we are all just lowly americans who cling to guns.
So - that is what I'm afraid of with him. Too many men have promised us this and that and never delivered. Bush and Clinton being the biggest two. I don't trust any of them.
this is what scares me
Ronald Reagan - "the most truthful President"? What in tarhooties have you been smoking?? Remember Iran-Contra and his buddy Ollie North (who was never brought to trial for his misdeeds)...Reagan one step away from being Richard Nixon? PUHLEEZE!!
what scares me the most
is that if this man could actually be voted into the office. Do people not know or do they not want to know or do they not understand we are talking socialism, then communism here? What is wrong with people? What scares me is how do we get this information out to the public? I am not finding alot of this stuff anywhere other than on this board so I know that means other people are not seeing it either. I tell this stuff to my husband, relatives and friends, and they do not know anything about it. All they know is what they see and hear on TV and radio, and wow, am I sick of the biased media. And I don't want to have to go down that road because other people didn't do the work of checking out the candidates fully.
I'm not a pub and he scares the h@ll out of me

You know what scares me?
Is that there were enough people in Minnesota that actually voted for Franken that there had to be a recount! I mean, I'm not a Dem-basher, but AL Franken? Seriously?
scares me...
and that Chavez is calling him "comrade Obama."
Obama scares me so much more
In watching him speak, I never feel secure, as if he is really just for show and no real substance. Also, to say all the things some of you say about McCain. Well, what about the people Obama has as friends in present and past? Do HIS associations and his character not matter to you? What about his comments regarding religion/guns. What about his "been to 57 states" comment? All I hear from him policy-wise is he would raise taxes (and not just on the rich!) and "provide" health insurance for every American. (we all know nothing is free in reality). Besides, no president can take total care of us and our individual needs. Our president MUST protect the country first and foremost, right? ..and as much as I am not a McCain fan, I would trust him far and above Obama on that issue.
That is one of the things that scares them most...
if they are elected it is validation that the majority of Americans still believe in God and don't mind it if someone says so. Obama professes to be a Christian and I don't see them dissecting him. Perhaps because they believe that is just another lie...?
your mentality very much scares me

Answer the question - what scares you?
If it is not his name (which always draws the MUSLIM card) - then it must be his race (he is half white, by the way). If not - ENLIGHTEN me, I am truly curious.
no, YOUR attitude is what scares sensible people.

Ron Paul scares the living daylights out of me. He is

well dubya speaks like a child and he scares the
is what counts and clearly Dubya is lacking in that department and Obama is not.
What, a strong, conservative woman scares you?

Feel just the opposite. O scares the crap out of me.nm

If his tax plan scares you, check out his Global Poverty Act. Link inside.

what in the heck
happened to the feminist movement, and/or growing up as women? why are women acting so catty (no offense meant to cats)...We are attacking a VP candidate for what she wears? As if that makes her more or less qualified, or has anything at all to do with her ability to connect with/understand the populace?, not to mention the polices. give me a break. BTW, who complains about Mr. try-to-be-a-common-man's suit being so sharp and pricey? You can't tell me that wasn't a mega-dollar suit Obama has been seen in lately -- but who cares??? Shake off the fluff of it all people and look at the character, integrity and wisdom of the candidates!!!
Heck no
I sure wouldn't. If people can't wear their shirts showing their candidates, he should not be able to dress that way, which is a blatant attempt to intimidate voters.
It is a heck of a lot different when
they are paying actors 3 million plus per movie and that is only one actor. That is just ridiculous. If these liberal actors want to help the little people so much, why don't they take a pay cut so hollywood can afford to pay the little guys who help make the movies, etc. Why should the tax payers have to pay for it? These big wigs in hollywood are making millions upon millions a year and hollywood wants MY money to create jobs. Are you friggin KIDDING ME!!!!!
Heck NO!
It is not MY responsibility to fund someone's contraceptive.......PERIOD! That's the same as my encouraging they have sex without worrying about the consequences in the first place.
And I sure as heck DO NOT want to fund contraceptive for the world! We need to worry about the unwanted children right here in our own back yards. We cannot police the world. We have private organizations that deal with many ministries and help throughout the world. PRIVATE DONATIONS are the key words here.........not forced taxpayer funding!
Heck, yes!............nm

Who the heck do you think you are...
to tell this woman that she should have carried her rapist's baby for 9 months and given birth to it? Don't you have anything more important to do than meddle in other people's lives?
Heck, they could do it for $500. I need a new TV set.

What the heck,
better just check 'am all.
What the heck does it matter to you
what happens on the conservative board. Like most liberals you feel an innate desire to police everything everywhere as you and your uppity ilk are a lot better than everyone else...You have a board, stay on it, and have your nice little liberal tea parties over here. I for one couldn't give a rat's ass what you think about the conservative board...you elitist control freaks...now can you TAKE that!
Oh heck no, I have been here since the board was all on one. sm
I just don't post much anymore.
There is not a hope in heck of ...
impeaching Bush unless we recall every single Democratic senator and representative who voted for the war. Let's get real about this. They voted for the war. READ the resolution before you start arguing. It is very clear in its message and they FULLY understood what they were voting on. If they did not, then they do not been to be in the offices they hold!! They can READ, I assume. They had the same intelligence that the President had. Democrats sat on the Intelligence Committees who were briefed by the same people who briefed the President. It is a load of unadulterated MANURE (to use the Code Pink ladies' song) to now state that they were lied to and they didn't know the truth. Well, all I can say is, they do not deserve to be in Washington as your representatives if they did NOT do the research and talk to the advisors and the military et. al. before agreeing to the resolution. Now that the going has gotten tough, the Democrats want to do what they do best, that is cut and run, no matter what happens to the Iraqi people or to the morale of our men and women in uniform, just like they did during Viet Nam. It is a travesty, it plays right into the hands of the enemy, and I would not doubt in the latest that Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Hanoi Jane, and the Pink Ladies are now starring in Al Qaeda recruitment and propaganda videos. And they should each be ashamed of that fact. But there is something seriously lacking in those people...empathy and common sense. And no one will respond to my challenge...why don't the Code Pink ladies take their cause to the real enemies of this country...the ones who took down the towers...the ones who bombed the Cole...the ones who bombed the WTC the FIRST time...the ones who downed the plane over Lockerbie...the ones who blew up the Marine barracks in Beirut....how, LVMT, can you INGORE all that loss of American life? How can THEY??? Why don't Sarandon, Robbins, Penn, all of them, get an audience with bin Laden? Tell HIM to give peace a chance...try to get his followers to IMPEACH HIM. Probably, because as Bill O'Reilly so astutely pointed out...they like their heads attached to their shoulders. They are sniveling cowards. While our men and women in the military are in harm's way ever day fighting the noble fight, we have these cowards who DARE to call themselves and their cause noble, busy undermining it as fast and as publically as they can. They do not have the common sense to be ashamed of themselves, so I will be ashamed FOR them. And if you were a patriotic American, you would be too.
Oh I don't know, you are doing a heck of a fine job...
passing off insult as intelligence. You have it down to a fine art. Verrryyy impressive. "Certainly the issues seem to be a big taboo." Well I suppose so...since I have asked you a very simple question repeatedly and you can't seem to stop with the insults long enough to answer it....lol.
As to plagiarizing...rather than do that, you just post under different monikers...to support your own argument I guess? Ahem. Ego need a little stroking there?
Hope you find some of that substantive conversation. Heaven only knows who would sit through a 20-minute dissertation hoping that at some time a point would emerge or just one little question would be answered. Good luck!
What the heck are you babbling?

GP, you tickle the heck out of me!
Save the feathers; as I remember, you can pick some of your teeth with them! I guess we could start a political cookbook, but I think I'd rather bring back the stocks!
What the heck is the PROBLEM?!
I remember in the mid 1980s, my old car died. The last thing I wanted was to incur a new monthly car payment, but I needed a car.
I went to the Chevy lot and asked to see the cheapest new car they had. They showed me a Chevy Sprint -- bare bones. (The car didn't have air conditioning and didn't even have a RADIO.) I bought it because I was desperate. (I remember my prepubescent daughter HATING me for getting it because the front passenger visor didn't have a MIRROR.)
That dang car got 50 MILES PER GALLON! I bought a radio (and a mirror for the front passenger visor), and later, my dad had air conditioning installed as a birthday present. It turned out to be the best car I ever had and was very, very cheap to purchase.
If they could manufacture a car like that 20-plus years ago, why can't they do it now? 
that makes a whole heck of a lot of
sense since isn't obama the one wanting to spend less money on our defense? I don't believe that Obama will stop any terrorist attack.
Some one please explain to me....you all blame Bush for 9/11 stating that there were warnings about planes, etc. Did they give a specific day? Which planes? So does the president take this information and land all planes and not allow air travel at all on that day? Do they evacuate all tall buildings and monuments just in case? Could 9/11 have been prevented? We all seem to know who to point the finger at but I'm sure dealing with terrorist and terrorists threats is a whole different ball game than us just sitting back and watching bad things happening and wanting to know why it wasn't stopped.
All I can say is that God forbid we have another terrorist attack, we will just have to wait and see how Obama handles it. I think it would be hard for any president to prevent some of these things, but that is just something we are going to have to see play out before we know the answer to it.
sure as heck NOT hollywood either!!!

Heck Gov - just grow some more pot!
Now that's thinkin, Lincoln!
And you are right, and I am P.O'ed as heck about that but....sm
Okay, that is one of the things in this "package" that I think is insane and absolutely STUPID and WRONG. But would I throw out so many of the good proposals in that bill because of it, things that will actually create jobs, actually help some (SOME) deserving folk not go out on the street, extend unemployment benefits because there are almost NO JOBS out there and families will need this to fall back on as they look for jobs...the $$$ that will go for elcerly, disabled, the money that will go toward strengthing out BORDERS, and lots of folk here complain about the ALIENS, well, that takes money! Stronger borders also means less drugs get in, they will still get in I know, but less will. STOP throwing out the baby with the bathwater, for God's sake. The country is starting to remind me of a bunch of little kids with ADHD hiked up on sugar, running around, taking tantrums, and wanting things NOW. What about the past 8 years as this was all in the making????
where the heck does it say that?...please see message
BT, I really like discussing with you, and respect your opinions, so please see where I was coming from because you really surprised me here, you aren't one of the "rabble-rousers!" Previous poster implied, because I had the temerity to express how I felt about Rush and anyone listening to him, the question was pointed at me "what kind of news do you watch?" and I simply replied the truth, a bit sarcastically, because she had a superior attitude, that even stupid Democrats or Independents could watch CNN, MSNBC, all the news channels, C-Span, etc., for information. where is the sentence about ANY OF THEM being garbage? Yup, when I am attacked very unfairly and words are put into my mouth, so to speak, I get a bit testy, as you do. No offense, okay, because I enjoy being able to exchange ideas with you!

What the heck is your problem?
Been seeing your () posts all over this website. You're even bashing Pugmom's DOGS.
(), you need a chill-pill.
To Guess Who/Globe? Whatever the heck your name is?
As in the words of a very famous Dr. talk-show host, "Who pi$$ed in Your Cheerios?" lol! Get a grip! Stop hiding behind the past and talk about the present. You go off too much on a tangent about history and need to talk about the present and current problems!
Go to heck! I AM open to the truth!
I am just stating my personal OPINION!!! Yes, this IS America, and I am ALLOWED to have it! She doesn't really look it there! Just like no one cares about all of the garbage that they spread about Obama, but I don't see many people defending him here! It could affect his kids also! Obviously no one here made that story up by themselves, so go to the KOS and complain to THEM for printing it, and then...
GET A LIFE!!!!!
Like heck it ain't......poster is a self-righteous

Heck, Dubya won't even help out New Orleans
.
Heck, he'll probably cut 95% of us a check....
NOT. Seriously:
The big rule is: no personal use.
As Bob Biersack from the Federal Election Commission points out, most candidates don’t have much left over to begin with. Campaigning is expensive, and “leftover” money gets used for bills and debts first, including expenses incurred while winding down an abandoned campaign or a lost political office.
Candidates do sometimes end up with surplus funds, though, particularly if they're incumbent members of Congress who decide not to run for another term. State and local governments have their own rules, but those running for federal office -- including presidential candidates -- must abide by strict FEC guidelines when it comes to their extra campaign money. They can donate an unlimited amount to a charity or political party. They can also, within limits, make contributions directly to other candidates. A campaign committee can give up to $2000 per election to each candidate. If the committee is converted into a political action committee, the limit jumps to $5000 – but to be established as a PAC, the committee would have to be in existence for six months, receive contributions from 50 donors, and make contributions to five recipients.
What candidates can’t do with leftover money is use it for personal expenses. Retiring federal lawmakers used to be able to pocket extra cash and use it for cars, vacations, clothes, pet grooming, whatever -- but that changed in 1989 with the passage of the Ethics Reform Act.
Hey...maybe he will donate it to Hillary and help her with her campaign debt. :p
To what the heck? - our country has gone nuts
This is absolute garbage (no not your message), but the fact that people will support this solely because it's Obama's plan. If Bush decided to bring terrorist to the country for "trials" all these same boards praising Obama for doing it would be cursing and cutting down Bush. Double standards! These people should be tried in their own country with an independent jury/judge from various countries. One poster below was right. We do not have enough rooms in our jail as it is. Also they are missing the point. He is not bringing just ordinary prisoners (thieves, etc), he is bringing terrorists and some of them will be released into our society. This is absolute crapola! Their lord could be caught on camera stabbing someone over and over and they'd say "oh that person probably deserved it". I am so disgusted with this country and their double standards.
what the heck's a festivus pole and what does that have to do with anything
very bizarre comment
I sure has heck do. I found out days ago
that I do not want Ogden in office.
