Who in the world would want to give birth to a child a child conceived during rape?????..nm
Again:L How many children do you have?
Dubya never went
overseas before his presidency and he did just fine, don't think?
Probably because Dubya and his crony JM are a little
Little men with big egos.
Correction, he is called DUBYA sm.
His nick name is "Dubya" not shrub. I saw a post on here the other day actually wishing him, "Happy Birthday, Mr. President". Do some of you people actually think Dubya as incompetent as he is, comes on this board to see your high school fantasies?
True and did you know it was Dubya Bush who sm
was holding up the rescue package because he didn't want any restrictions on golden parachutes for CEOs in tanked companies?????? After all is said and done he still wants them to profit.... yet health care is socialist...? This is just criminal and unconscionable.
Heck, Dubya won't even help out New Orleans
.
As are 3rd World countries, because Dubya
THAT's where the outrage belongs.
Dubya drops the "just folks" act
Buys new huge house in exclusive neighborhood alongside corp execs, where he belongs. No more clearing brush for the photographers. Sorry Dubya supporters, you were duped.
Did you ever hear dubya apologize for the crooks and...
incompetent morons he hired? NO. Heck, he wanted to appoint Harriet Myers to the supreme court. Talk about STUPID. Heckuva job brownie. Outing CIA agent. Scooter Libby. Jack Abramoff and his dastardly deeds - need I add to the list? Choke on that Kool-Aid, PLEASE!
Nope, you won't hear dubya apologize,
but that's all in the past, as are the crooks and incompetent morons Clinton surrounded himself with for eight years - no apologies there either, by the way. We're talking about Obama now and he's already appointed one tax evader and tried to appoint another, and he's only been in office two weeks! No Kool-Aid needed to see those whoppers!
I think ol' Dubya is in large part a big reason we
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 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.

O scares the heck out of me. Not because of race

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

Hot Air..........name speaks for itself
Yes, all Americans who cannot tolerate 4 more years of the same are terrified by this candidate who puts her religion above the needs of our country........and rightly so
History speaks for itself. sm
You are simply ignorant of it and I said it was ONE of the reasons, not the only reason. Still trying to twist my words and worm out that you don't know history at all! Do you EVER watch the History Channel? Read historical books, not just college course books. I am through talking to you. People who can't even admit they are wrong and try to put the onus on someone else aren't worth talking to. Besides, you are so filled with hatred, I am surprised you didn't say how ugly Bush's daughters are just to throw that in just one more time.
Record speaks for itself.
Been there, done that, and agree with OP - Cons have been grossly hypocritical about demanding dissenters leave their board, then sneaking over here to post nasty comments.
A vet speaks out about Bush

The Rant
A vet speaks out about Bush
By DOUG THOMPSON
Dec 30, 2005, 06:34
Tim Abbott is a Vietnam veteran who lives in the Southwestern Virginia town of Hillsville, a conservative, blue-collar community that tends to vote Republican and bleed red, white and blue.
But, like an increasing number of veterans, Abbott is fed up with President George W. Bush.
“Bush talks a lot about freedom, courage, transparent government and the rule of law. He talks,” Abbott says. “His speeches are carefully choreographed before audiences of his faithful -- often Christian fundamentalists or, to paraphrase Bush, Christian-fascists -- and they must sign loyalty oaths to Bush. He speaks before audience after audience of soldiers and sailors who cannot speak except as directed by the White House.”
Normally, such comments would be risky in a mountain town where Patriotism rules supreme but Abbott expressed his views this week in an op ed article for The Roanoke Times and found many people agreeing with him.
“When I think of Bush, I do not think of liberty and courage, compassion and justice. No, I think of arrogance, greed and lies,” Abbott wrote. “He is a thug, a buffoon and a coward. Not only is he incompetent, he is corrupt.”
In normal times, these would be fighting words and Abbott would do well to avoid lunch at the Hillsville Diner, the Main Street eatery where the locals gather to discuss politics. But George W. Bush’s times are not normal times and Abbott is greeted warmly on the streets of Hillsville.
“In his Mission Accomplished foray, (Bush) wore a military uniform, something no president has done since Washington, and Washington only wore the uniform to quell a rebellion,” Abbott says. “Around the world he has replaced the Soviet Gulag with the Bush Gulag, where men may be tortured.”
Abbott’s comments come when this web site revealed that the Pentagon has ordered soldiers home from Iraq for holiday leave to give pro-war interviews to their hometown newspapers and television station. This does not surprise a veteran who learned about military duplicity in Vietnam.
“Others before whom he speaks may ask no questions. He runs from journalists, as we have seen in China, even on those rare occasions that he speaks before them,” Abbott says of Bush. “Even worse, he has paid journalists to say good things about him and his policies. He also produces propaganda from government offices that he offers as news reports. And any protests against his policies are diverted well away from his sight and hearing.”
In recent weeks, I’ve spoken with dozens of vets of Vietnam, Desert Storm and the present invasion of Iraq and most speak with anger towards Bush and his policies.
Soldiers serve under a code of honor, something they say Bush lacks.
“Bush is of a kind with the dictators; a strutting, sanctimonious buffoon who talks democracy but acts like Saddam Hussein,” Abbott says. “Bush might differ in degree from Hussein, not having been in power as long, but in behavior, with torture and the corruption of government, they are of a kind.
“While al-Qaida is an enemy of the values and principles of the United States and Western civilization and must be confronted, it can do no more than kill people and destroy property.
“Bush can subvert our principles and institutions. He is the greater enemy.”

actually what you name your children speaks
What about the lady that named her daughter Emer Gency because that's the sign she saw going into the hospital? Sure this may be folklore but if you are an MT you know like I do people make really poor choices when it comes to naming thier kids and I would never elect one of those braniacs VP!!!
Geez. Well this speaks for itself. nm

No one said he speaks for all the Jews
don't ass-u-me.
It's funny, you say you get Christianity "shoved" down your throat everywhere, but everywhere I go I get sex, violence, and other "worldly" things that I find disgraceful shoved down mine. I'm expected to sit by and just accept all that without saying anything, but you (and others who think your way) should be allowed to say that we have to get out of everything but our homes and churches? Do you not see the double standard? Those of us who want to live the Christian life can't even go into the mall without seeing sex ads and innuendos about cheating, and lately I can't walk through a store without hearing someone using filthy language left and right. But I should just put up with it, right?
That is good. I look forward to seeing how she speaks and...sm
how knowledgable she is when answering unscripted questions or delivering a speech.
Your ignorance speaks for itself. Can;t stoop low enough

The Bible speaks of all this but seeing it happen

I most certainly do not turn off the TV every time he speaks
I listen carefully to every word he says, same as I do Obama. Thus far all I have heard from McCain is that "that one" is lying about. I would PREFER to hear what he proposes. I am perfectly capable of listening to Obama and deciding for myself without McCain's ( or Palin's) input.
The lack of one pretty much speaks for itself...

McCain's low profile on this speaks volumes.

McCain: What you are speaks so loud, I cannot hear
what you are saying.
The bimb* comment speaks volumes....
tell me....why would you vote in the same party who are to blame for this financial crisis through horrible, self-serving decision making?
That frightens me more than this answer.
What you are speaks so loudly I cannot hear what you are saying McCain
I could never vote for this kind of person "my friends" - no one is perfect and especially politicians, but there is a limit to what I am going to believe.

From U.S. Veteran Dispatch
McCain's Divorce
Before John McCain's tour of duty in Vietnam, he married Carol Shepp, a model from Philadelphia. On his 23rd bombing mission over North Vietnam in 1967, McCain was shot down and captured.
While he was imprisoned, Carol was in an auto wreck (1969), thrown through her car's windshield and left seriously injured. Despite her injures, she refused to allow her POW husband to be notified about her condition, fearing that such news would not be good for him while he was being held prisoner.
When McCain returned to the United States in 1973 after more than five years as a prisoner of war, he found his wife was a different person. The accident "left her 4 inches shorter and on crutches, and she had gained a good deal of weight."
Yearning to make the grade of admiral, McCain enrolled in the National War College at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. and underwent physical therapy in order to fly again. The Navy excused his permanent disabilities and reinstated him to flight status, effectively positioning him for promotion.
In his book, The Nightingale's Song, Robert Timberg chronicled McCain's post-Vietnam military assignments and some of his "adulterous" behavior leading to his divorce from Carol and marriage to Cindy Hensley.
Timberg wrote, "in the fall of 1974, McCain was transferred to Jacksonville as the executive officer of Replacement Air Group 174, the long-sought flying billet at last a reality. A few months later, he assumed command of the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. The assignment was controversial, some calling it favoritism, a sop to the famous son of a famous father and grandfather [both were Navy admirals], since he had not first commanded a squadron, the usual career path."
While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander McCain used his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with subordinates and "engage in extra-marital affairs." Such behavior was a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rules against adultery and fraternization with subordinates..
Timberg wrote, "Off duty, usually on routine cross-country flights to Yuma and El Centro, John started carousing and running around with women. To make matters worse, some of the women with whom he was linked by rumor were subordinates . . . At the time the rumors were so widespread that, true or not, they became part of McCain's persona, impossible not to take note of."
In 1979 at a military reception in Honolulu, McCain met Cindy Hensley, an attractive 25-year-old woman from a very wealthy politically-connected Arizona family. Cindy's father, Jim, founded the Hensley and Company, the nation's third-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor.
McCain described their first meeting, "She was lovely, intelligent and charming, 17 years my junior but poised and confident. I monopolized her attention the entire time, taking care to prevent anyone else from intruding on our conversation. When it came time to leave the party, I persuaded her to join me for drinks at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. By the evening's end, I was in love."
While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 -- just a month after dumping Carol and securing a divorce. The newlyweds honeymooned in Hawaii.
McCain followed his young, millionairess wife back to Arizona where her father helped catapult McCain into politics,
Today, Cindy Hensley McCain is chairwoman of Hensley's board of directors. Hensley and Company financial reports show assets worth a minimum of $28 million for the McCains..............As he says.....character counts.......
This little blurb speaks volumes about Obama (sm)
Indeed, if Obama had had his way, all American combat troops would have been withdrawn from Iraq by March 2008, which would have led to civil war and genocide; an unprecedented victory for al-Qaeda and Islamic jihadists; and a boon to Iran.
This speaks volumes about the character of the man who would be president
Saying you "ain't" a republican speaks volumes.
:p
Frankly, don't we all cringe when the other party speaks?
But that's because we anticipate the content is not going to be what we want to hear.
Bush's speeches made me cringe for other reasons - like I was embarrassed we had such an obvious moron as a leader, and the rest of the world could appreciate our sterling judgement. We might as well posted a billboard that says - we elected the stupidest guy we could get so the powers behind the throne will have an easy time of it. Nothing fake about HIM - he was sincerely, honestly stupid, and proud of it.
