That is a terrible, terrible thing
How sad that you think this way. So negative.
As a worn out MT have you
gotten a little more worn out over the past 8 years? Might be time for those stuffed shirts you work for in whichever MT company to give up a few measly dollars so you wouldn't be so worn out. I understand Obama's plan perfectly. Do I expect he'll get it done? No. Would it be a good idea if he did. A resounding YES. Research the facts for yourself and stop listening to Fox.
Worn out excuse...sm
When I hear someone say, *I'd rather us be there [Iraq] than have them [terrorist] over here attacking our country,* I come to this question.
Does that really sound fair to Iraqis? Do you think Iraqis would rather us be there fighting [our] enemy in their country, which just so happen mostly showed up after we did, so that we don't have to fight them here? I'm sure Iraqis' are filled with joy that their country is at war so America does not have to fight at home. It's not a nobel policy and that's putting it as politically correct as I can for the purpose of posting here.
Seems the past six years blanket statements with no thought have become very popular. I've heard a lot of explanations why this war is a good idea, but to me that is the worst.
Trivial. Trite. Worn out.
Boring.
You have absolutely worn this childish
pathetic party of poop! When you hear something you don't like, just pretend it is an *unanswer.*
Just spewing the same worn out talking
to squat.
That's what I'm talking about! And you just made an excellent example. You may change your rhetoric, but you never change your message. Hmmmmm, that sounds kind of familiar, too, now that I think of it.
I don't dress in tshirts and worn out jeans, but...
I dress very nice and am appropriately dressed at all occasions, and I don't spend $150,000 a month, a year, and maybe even a lifetime. It is not necessary and it is wasteful! I think she can look the part without spending $150,000 and that is the bottom line - those clothes going to charity? It would have been better to take the $150,000 and given that to charity!
No, I think it is terrible. It is way too far. And
not that you were implying it, but Obama had nothing to do with this (though I have a feeling he will somehow be blamed). The people that did it are some group, which I can't remember the name of off hand. They have done this before as evidently they hacked into some Scientology accounts a while back.
yes terrible tragedy
Well, you picture me and my life all wrong. Yes, terrible disaster.. However, the ones to blame have to be pointed out and everything gone over in detail so it never happens again and so New Orleans and other cities/states at risk will get the money they should from the federal govt to protect the land and the people who live there. You can bet if this happened under a democratic president, you guys would be screaming for his head by now. However, I dont think it would have had the same devastating effects, as no democratic president is going to give tax cuts to the rich while waging a war. I have always been taught, you need to keep a little bit of money for emergencies. Bush, with all his family money, Im sure never was taught that. Just run up the bills, there is always money to pay for it all. Well, there isnt and there wasnt and the federal govt cut back on aid to all states due to Bush's extreme deficit. The people are in agony now and it will get worse before better and the rest of the country will begin to feel the pain when gas shortages start happening and gas is $8.00 or more/gallon. We probably will have other shortages also as the gulf is a major port. Then the rage will be turned to where it should be turned..to Bush.
many terrible things are done in
the name of Christianity. That doesn't make Christianity terrible.
Alcoholism is a terrible disease. sm
I wish him only the best and hope he is able to find help and solace. He is a deeply religious man. He needs to lean on that. As for the rest, having been raised in a family where alcoholism was very prevelant, I have learned to turn a blind ear to things people say when they are intoxicated. It's between him and God. He was making a film about the holocaust, so it's kind of hard to believe what he said was true. More likely alcohol and the moment talking. I know many in Hollywood are attacking him, but many are not. I wish him the best.
oops, terrible mistake, but looks like some
xx
Right. Because Obama has done such a terrible job as president....(sm)
Oh, wait....no...it can't be....the audacity of this man. He isn't even president yet, and just look at how he has changed this country. He has given people hope for a brighter future....the nerve. Things were much better when we could just torture people at will, invade who we want, pi$$ off the world, and not have to deal with those pesky civil rights. Oh, those were the days!
Keep counting.
Isnt he terrible? I tried watching too and he comes
nm
Ummm....yeah, it would be so terrible..(sm)
If we just "let it go" then we have said it is okay to torture and to break the law. We are supposed to be a nation of laws. Those laws apply to everyone, even the former administration.
You guys constantly try to justify the war in Iraq by saying that Saadam was a tyrant (which he was) and that he was committing inhumane acts on his people. We also ridiculed the Taliban for its treatment of women.
How much credibility do we really have to judge anyone else if we don't hold ourselves accountable for our OWN laws?
I hope the whole Bush bunch that came up with and ordered torture go to trial and are given the most severe sentence possible. Maybe that way when other countries look at us they can see that we mean what we say instead of having a double standard for ourselves.
Religionopathy. Terrible, debilitating disease.
'A mind is a terrible thing to waste'. - Unfortunately,
The Mind is a terrible thing to lose
thus spats out another great repub VP choice, Dan Potatoe Quayle.
Terrible debate! Jim was not direct or specific enough in his ...sm
questions and allowed too much of the same old retoric from both candidates.
The exact quote is "What a terrible thing to
have lost one's mind, or not to have a mind at all. How true that is.".....Dan Quayle If you Google Dan Quayle, there are more quotes made by him which are very funny. Amazing how Americans form their decisions to vote for these people.
and that should have read "NO MORE than being a Republican means," I am typing terrible, migra

If she is elected
What I meant is I will vote in the election but if she wins I will dis-own this country after that. If she gets in it will confirm my beliefs that the people's votes do not count. It's already starting to turn out that way. Clearly Obama is ahead right now, but I am hearing talks of the delegates deciding at the convention who will be the candidate no matter who is ahead. How fair is that??? If he is ahead by the people and the delegates how can the super delegates (who happen to all be on Hillary's side) come in and wipe out all the votes and delegate votes already casted.
Cya. And if they are elected I will still be here...
holding their feet to the fire, with my "Don't Blame Me I Didn't Vote for Them" sticker, and ready with the I told you so's. Y'all come back now...hear?
Must be so empowering to be so smug. Women who are thoughtful and intelligent...who attack another woman (Palin) like snarling dogs but would not attack one of their own? Yeah, loaded with class you thoughtful and intelligent women are. Please. Your actions bely your words.
So, if he is elected -
who is going to be running the country? If he wants to be my candidate, he needs to step up and let us see what he is made of and not let #2 take his spot. I have not yet seen a VP up front in all my years voting as I have seen with this ticket. We should be focusing on the the Presidential candidate and not the VP. I can still be swayed but I am leaning towards the Obama ticket. I need to see a strong presidential candidate - not a strong vice presidential candidate.
I already have next-to-none. If he's elected, at least
no/msg
Exactly! It's man's will that O was elected, not God's.
And it is precisely for that reason this country will suffer greatly. Mankind has been putting their human will before the will of God for centuries and this world will not be left to stand much longer because of it. THAT is God's will. And those of us who understand this are safe and secure.
We (as in probably not you) elected him....(sm)
as far as foreign affairs go to restore credibility to the US...and that's what he's doing. -- As opposed to the shrub method of trying to bully the world. Get a grip and try to catch up with the rest of us.
She's not even ready to be elected
That's how W got elected! U mean that was illegal! Huh!
Can't imagine the pubs doing anything illegal.,,,,,,,
All politicians lie to get elected.
We are all fooling ourselves if we thing otherwise. It is literally picking the lesser of two evils. The one thing that I can say is that at least McCain makes decisions. He votes instead of just voting present like Obama and when Obama actually has voted yes or no.....he has consistently said one thing and voted the exact opposite. I just do not think he has the experience or the ability to make executive decisions. I do not trust his associations and I do not have the same values as he does.
If McCain were elected and were to die, she would be...sm
a puppet president with the strings being pulled by the extreme religious right wing. That is why he was under pressure to appoint her. Now they will support McCain, tit for tat.
My advice would have been to have Colin Powell as a running mate, if he would even agree to do so, and to run on proper state of the art care for the injured troops coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan. I think that people would be able to swallow the war if they knew we didn't forget about the vets when they came home.
As I am sure if Obama is elected....
as the babies mount up dying in the closets of hospitals and we turn into a socialist state I will be very, very ill as well...but my conscience will be clear.
Could be that if O is elected, those nations

How is Obama getting elected ...sm
saying the majority of Americans don't put the country first?
Quite evident, you elected the man who
your guns and your bibles and reelected the man who called you racist rednecks.
Obama said what he had to to get elected. Now
nm
LOL! How did that woman get elected
nm
When Obama was elected
those who supported the opposition and who warned of the types of sweeping changes to come during his presidency were told not to jump to conclusions based on what he had said during the campaign, or with whom he had chosen to associate throughout his life but to ''give him a chance'' to show the American people what he would actually do. We were told that racial prejudice and sour grapes were behind our feelings and that Obama would prove himself worthy of the office. To me, in just four months he has proven the exact opposite and further demonstrated a lack of character.
I did not necessarily want McCain in office. I voted the ''NObama'' ticket because I felt McCain would be slightly less destructive to our country and because I was pretty sure he is not a marxist. Voting third party would have been a wasted vote.
Sure, had McCain been elected I would have told his opposition to give him a chance to prove his worth as well. (I believe McCain's character has already been proven; I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong.) But if he then demonstrated himself, through his words and actions, to be a screwup and/or a liar I would be posting exactly the same type of opinion.
I doubt he will be elected again.......... sm
because I doubt there will even be an election in 2012. At the rate things are going now, I can well imagine Obama invoking martial law prior to the election and making himself into a dictator. Chavez would be so proud.
The Bush was not elected song is getting old.
To truly prove you are not bitter, try not mentionig it again. It seems the left has enough problems with Bush without bringing that up. JFK was not legally elected either. Historians now know that Illinois was bought for him by papa. Life goes on. But the bitterness of carrying around a load of rage just never seems to leave.
Once either one is elected we are pretty much powerless...
to hold anyone's feet to the fire. However, the Obama adoring masses here will make excuses no matter how many mistakes he makes or how many promises he does not fulfill. Toe that party line. If you criticize him for not doing what he said he would do, you will be a lonely voice of one I'm afraid.
Yes, I will be watching McCain/Palin to see if they keep campaign promises. Because if someone does not find a way to work in a bipartisan manner, both parties are going to continue messing us over and doing what is best for their pocketbooks and political careers. They need to forget party after the election and get about the people's business. And only one candidate has said right up front he will be on them to make them do that. That is why I am voting for him.
From a national security standpoint, I think Obama is a huge, huge mistake.
That being said...yes, I will be watching.
you won't have any $ left if this commie gets elected. nm
mm
McCain is not 80. He would be if elected 2 terms (nm)

So you don't care if Obama is elected only by
voters who don't actually exist......including illegals?
I might have to if your man gets elected. Maybe we'll be co workers nm

Difference being if elected, SP will be in a position to
nm
LOL....better hurry because if Obama gets elected...
he will be after your moose gun. lol.
I am not fearful. I am resigned....he was elected.
And he is NOT "my" President yet, just like Bush was not yours. Let's be real here.
I understand that you think socialism will work. I understand that HE thinks socialism will work. Just like Che Guevara thought socialism would work, which is why he participated in the revolution which turned Cuba socialist. When he realized that it was NOT what he thought it would be, he moved on to Bolivia to participate in another revolution. The people of Venezuela have realized that all socialism got them was Hugo Chavez.
As I said, we will see how far Obama wants to go with it. The saving grace is that the senate did not get the filibuster-proof majority they wanted, so that in and of itself may rein in his socialist ambitions.
Will just have to wait and see.
O was elected the future president, so....sm
the only thing that we can do NOW is sit back and WAIT for O's actions.
But give him ROOM FOR ACTION, without criticizing every little decision.
You know, he IS the future president, time to accept it and, as Kaydie's father states, to adapt to it.
had McCain been elected, then you would be in a trance...nm
