reduce yourself to name-calling?
I am unsure who to vote for but one thing I know is it will be for whoever is going to make my life better.
Democrats might tax but the taxes go toward social programs, libraries, schools, afterschool programs, playgrounds, all of which are almost nonexistent where I live now since the last 8 years. Rich people walk around here like they are royalty, they pay no taxes and have no care or interest I helping those less fortunate, spare the very few who do.
the more I see on TV and the more I read on boards like these it seems to me republicans are afraid of democrats. when you see Bush sneering and snickering (many examples on youtube) he is not doing that towards democrats, he is laughing behind the backs of all the republicans who believe his lies. I think the joke is actually on the republicans more than democrats.
I have never seen such people be taken advantage of, and love it so much.
send your children off to war to die, give up all your social programs, take more out of your pocket, all so the rich people can slither around this country at their will with no responsibility toward it. that is left to the poor and the nonwhites.
I am starting to see the bigger picture here, I think Republicans do not believe in social programs because of greed, because no one should be able to make money unless you have the right skin color. Say, how many blacks in Alaska, anyway?
lets all lie down and just die for the rich republicans. here, take my money, my children, my hopes and dreams, my pride - just take it all and make sure to give me absolutely nothing back. Right on!

No debates, true...but townhall meetings are not debates....
and it is true that Barack refused all of them. I think it had to do with the format of a town hall meeting. Just my opinion...
and steal another 700 billion! Be afraid, be very afraid. nm

Be afraid.........be veerrrry afraid. n/m LOL

She will do well at the debates s/m
I believe she described herself last night as a "pit bull in lipstick." Biden is already at a disadvantage, he doesn't wear lipstick. She'll walk all over him. He is also a pit bull but they aren't on equal footing. She's a female. Enter McCain's plan to take the election.
I'm sure there will be, after the debates. nm

post debates
since your first post you have attacked liberals and liberal ideology. either you are a neocon or an unhappy liberal. either way, post positive things and I and others will respond..post debates and I and others will debate..dont come on this board and attack..
I can't wait for the debates...sm
And yeah...I agree Hillary lost her thunder when it became evident she was robbing Peter to pay Paul.
can't wait for the debates
A constitutional lawyer is pretty . . . good . . . in debates.
Correction...about 22 debates....nm
I don't see why the debates should be canceled.
They are a big deal and I would think now both of them would want us to know where they stand, how they can do under pressure, etc. Bush debated in time of war. Reagan debated in time of war.
I'm not bashing him or calling him chicken as it has been implied. I just think now is the perfect time to hear from the people who are supposed to represent us, especially considering one of them is going to be the next President. Postponing them is not going to help the economy at all, if anything it is just going to cause more speculation, which I personally am tired of - on both sides.
I wish he would extend that halting campaign thing to all of the commercials. I could certainly live with a break from all of those - on both sides. Thank God for DVR and recording everything, I can just forward them. :)
He said this during the debates - I hear him -
Obama said then that things he wanted to do would have to slow down and take a different timetable because of the economic conditions. That he knew choices would have to be made on what could go forward when.
Who's been having *nice debates* here this week?
When you people bring your rudeness to this board, it's never nice.
I'd like to hear from one liberal poster here on the LIBERAL BOARD who thinks you are nice.
That's the best suggestion I have heard yet regarding the debates. nm
NM
We will see on Friday. No teleprompters at debates. nm
.
We've been having nice debates over there this week
and I know gt enough to know she couldn't be hounded of a maximum security prison shower. I personally don't command anyone to leave unless they are childish enough to start calling people losers or other names like that.
No debates yet because neither one has been officially nominated as the candidate! nm

Debates---sara palin looks terrified!!
Alaska!!! I don't even know where Joe Biden is from and I don't care!!!
Just peeked in on the Conservative board, looking for some *nice debates*
All I saw were you guys *applause applause*-ing each other and the usual ragging on all liberals. Then I saw ONE courageous soul who attempted to debate with you, followed by the usual and customary *stay off the board* warnings to the poster.
So it seems you guys consider nice debate as ganging up and attacking posters who disagree with you.
Maybe that's the problem here. We view nice debate in two different ways.
We view it as being nice to other posters and not personally attacking those who disagree with us. We don't claim to know what they are thinking and feeling in their minds and hearts, and we find those who insist on being nasty to others very distasteful and crude. We don't LIKE to act the way that you neocons act. We'd rather be friendly and civilized. That's why you're not welcome here. It's not because of what you believe. It's because you are unable to act like decent human beings, and you don't know how to treat other people.
If I remember correctly, in the debates he said he would be happy to pay more taxes.

Oh, I am afraid I do. And please tell me sm
how you know that I am a Christian? You are ignorant beyond belief. The Israelis are furious about the Gaza pull out and rightly so. Hamas has already said it is only the beginning and Jerusalem will be next. Do you read anything at all? This is news right out of Jerusalem. You are going on what you have been spoon-fed by the media. That's too bad. And by the way, politics has nothing to do what alignment with the Jews and their plight against Hamas. You should have figured that out by now.

Palestinian Authority
greenlights terror ops
'Resistance' against Israel discussed in meeting with Hamas, Jihad

TEL AVIV – Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei and members of various Palestinian terror groups this week decided at a meeting "resistance" against Israel would continue and would be coordinated at the national level until the Jewish state evacuates "all territories," WND has learned.
Earlier this week, it was reported Qurei held a private conference in Damascus with leaders of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. According to media reports, the parties reached an agreement under which the PA would not attempt to disarm the terror groups in spite of recent U.S. and Israeli calls for the groups to be dismantled after the Gaza evacuation.
But security sources close to the meeting told WND agreements reached at the conference went one step further – it was concluded the Palestinians would continue to use "resistance" against Israel until the Jewish state leaves "all occupied territories" – code for the destruction of Israel. The resistance, the sources said, is to be coordinated between the Palestinian groups and based on the foundations of Palestinian unity.
Qurei also allegedly discussed other ways of cooperating with the terror groups after Israel's Gaza evacuation is completed, and stressed that the focus of the Palestinian struggle must be turned to the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem
Said a security source, "Just the fact alone that the PA won't disarm the terrorists is already a green light to go ahead with attacks. But there is information the idea of future attacks were discussed and encouraged."
The revelations are significant. Since Mahmoud Abbas assumed control of the Palestinian government following the death last year of PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, the P.A. has been careful not to publicly endorse terrorism.
Islamic Jihad Chairman Ramadan Shalah yesterday echoed the alleged conclusions of the Qurei meeting in an interview he gave in Arabic to Al-Jazeera.
"We reached an agreement regarding a common strategy based on the premise that the resistance was a strategic option which should not be interfered with and which had to continue on a foundation of Palestinian national unity," Shalah said.
Shalah stressed the PA had agreed not to disarm his group "as long as Palestinian land was occupied."
At a press conference held after the meeting, Musa Abu Marzuq, a member of Hamas' political office, stated, "The real battle with Israel was on the West Bank. ... We hope there will be no disagreement with the Palestinian Authority regarding the weapon of resistance, because as long as the occupation exists the weapon must exist."
The same day Hamas, Islamic Jihad and local terror groups including the Democratic Front and the Jerusalem Battalions held competing parades in which each claimed their violence drove Israel out of the Gaza Strip.
Several thousand Palestinians attended a Hamas rally in Gaza and a separate victory procession in Nablus in which Hamas flags and models of the Temple Mount were waved, and mock tanks, rockets and even houses of Jewish settlers were displayed.
Hundreds reportedly attended a rally in Khan Yunis led by the Democratic Front, and about one thousand Palestinians marched in a Jerusalem Battalions victory procession in Rafah.
Afterward, the Battalions held a press conference in which a spokesman stressed his group's determination to "do whatever it took" to liberate the "rest of our land," including kidnapping Israelis and committing "resistance attacks."
I'm afraid you won't get your wish
Conservatives will continue to defend the most defenseless including but not limited to unborn babies.
No, I am afraid I don't.
And they are afraid of a man who...
might make their lives a little easier! Obama wants to stop giving tax breaks to companies who offshore and the majority of the MTs on this board are going to vote against him. Vote against Obama and you vote against yourselves too. Obama is against offshoring. He wants to keep it in America. Yet, all you anti-Obama's call him un-American. Obviously we all have more time to sit on this board and talk politics than work. That is because we have less and less work. Where do you think our work is going? We are a dying breed. Wake-up and smell the coffee!
to be afraid of...?
C'est LA vie.
Would you say that McCain is charismatic?
Definitely not.
He is just the Republican candidate.
Kerry had the same problem, he was too rigid.
Be afraid. Be very afraid! nm

I guess they're afraid of
kids being influenced and maybe going out and doing random acts of kindness.....
Nope, afraid we can't
as long as libs wan't to dig up dirt we'll continue throwing the mud you throw from your huge pig stye right back at ya...
Why are you so afraid of the truth? You should take...
this show on the road. They would love you in Berkeley.
Not afraid of change...
It's not the change that scares me, but the fact that my money will be going to pay for someone else to have something I can barely afford for my own family. Already too much of it goes for that - think foreigners that get Medicaid to pay for all of their doctor visits. And yes, lots of legitimate claims are being denied, but do you think that's going to change when the government has thier hands in it? That's what's really scary. I don't even trust the government with the money they already get from me - what's going to happen when they get more, and more power to boot? The insurance industry needs a complete overhaul, that I agree with, but as far as letting politicians take over? I'm thinking that's not really the best plan.
Afraid to view it are you?
And it is the least of my worries what you consider trash...:)
Too afraid to show up at RNC.

No one is afraid of him because he is black....
it is a valid concern that he is a racist.
However, his far left socialism is more concerning to me than his racism.
nuttin to be afraid of.....

I think that's what O lovers are afraid of....
Of course she doesn't have the power to single handedly divide the country. She says what she believes and she is either liked or not. Some agree, some do not. I couldnt' care less what she wears or all this other nit picky garbage the O lovers have resorted to out of desperation.
A true sign of desperation is pulling out such ridiculous notions and accusations and worrying about her wardrobe. Who cares? At least her money isn't coming from terrorist organizations to help her fund her wardrobe, campaign, or anything else for that matter.
Too bad O lovers don't care where his funds are coming from. They are afraid to find out because the truth "won't set them free".
Again, I am so afraid I can't type
I meant vote against Obama. You people have got to stop scaring me with these stories of Muslims taking over the world. How will I ever sleep at night?
Afraid? You bet. I do not want change that O wants.
He keeps changing his mind. You want change? Boy are you going to get change. I am afraid a lot are going to regrete who they voted for down the road when welfare will be spreading around, electricity rates skyrocket. No more small businesses because people will be taxed over 250,000. Oh wait. It will be 200,000. Oh wait. It is 150,000 by Biden. Oh wait. Now it is 120,000. Next it will be 42,000. Gosh, cannot make up their mind. I could go on and on. The O says it is going to be difficult for us because he needs to "kill people's expecations" if he is president. HE FREAKS ME OUT. Been reading up on the GREAT DEPRESSION and about Hoover. Also been hearing reports of O's plans and he will probably put us through the biggest Great Depression in history. He will kill middle class first and then it will be welfare and the rich.
I'm afraid it went down the toilet. nm

Someone is just jealous of Mrs. M I'm afraid
xxxx
I will admit that I am afraid, because
and what he states is no different than how the Arab leaders make their speeches.
I'm afraid O doesn't know exactly what he's doing.
He's trying to do too much - if he knew what he was doing, he'd do a little at a time and see what happened. It's like he's going by the principle that if you throw enough sh**, eventually some of it will stick. He needs to slow down and think about the repurcussions of what he's doing first - that was Bush's problem - he just jumped right in and didn't think about how it would affect anyone in the end.
Not afraid of looking foolish cuz...
Things are turning around in spite of people like you who prefer to sit and stew over the fact that the Democrats won.
Sorry, but the world is moving on with or without you.
Save your advice, you might need it.
I'm not afraid that Obama will.............sm
bring about peace in the ME because by my calculations, believers will be long gone before this is accomplished or shortly thereafter. What is concerning is that the "peace" you seem to think he is capable of achieving is not going to be peace at all but rather just the beginning of 7 of the worst years this planet can even imagine. Believers don't want others to have to go through that and that is why we try to tell others about it, but some just don't care to hear it.
And for what it's worth, my life isn't miserable in the least. Uncomfortable sometimes because of economic conditions, yes, but not miserable.
No one hates Bush, most are afraid of him.sm
I am definitely a moderate conservative and libertarian,but not Republican. Love my country, freedom, liberty. I am from Colorado Springs,and everyone I know is conservative, but they do not support Bush and the USA Patriot Act.
Democrats are afraid of Palin
Democrats are so afraid of S. Pain that they sent 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers to Alaska to dig into her record and background. What they can't find they will be making up.
Here are some facts:
- Palin did not cut funding for special needs education.
- She did not demand books be banned from the library. That librarian also continued in her job through Palin's first term.
- She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party.
- She has not pushed for teaching creationlism in school.
Here's the link to the full article. You just can't make up things that are not true (however the dems are doing just that and it's really going to come back at them).

Obama not afraid to debate, that's all.
This is just another McCain gimmick, as in gas tax holiday. Politizing everything is another thing JM enjoys.
I am not afraid of McCain and he actually sacrificed
nm
I am afraid he is going to let people down, already starting.

Exactly, dynamic mentality, the one you need to be afraid of.nm

I'm afraid we will find out all too soon what "it" is.
I don't think "it" is what all his loyal supporters think "it" is.
I agree, but afraid the country

Maybe you're not afraid of your own shadow...
feel super threatend by a guy who gives hope to millions and millions of Americans. No one cares about what's in your glass but your empty rhetoric is getting to be a real drag. The reason you can't understand the worshiping is because it is a figment of your imagination, so no one else will be able to explain it to you either. The woman was not expecting a check, just relieved to see someone take office who will be representing the interests of all Americans, not just the greedy corporation CEOs and super-rich top 1%. We listen to all of his speeches and are delighted and refreshed to hear someone who shoots from the hip and tells it like it is. Hate to disappoint you, but Obama supporters are realists who recognize the mountain of poop W leaves in his wake that he will have to climb over before he can get down to the business of what he will do best....turning the country around, getting us back on track and headed into a better and brighter future. You can twist and turn his words around till the cows come home to suit whatever acidic spew you have in mind, but what you have not noticed, dear, is that you are just preaching to the choir. Nobody else is listening.
