Now remember this one?
Sometimes it's funny how off the mark we can be. Reading back, I actually said I would vote for him if nominated. I am not at all 100% sure anymore. What I can say with certainty is that he will win.

P.S.: People call B. Hussein Obama a Muslim because he is a Muslim, Bad. Or at least he was. And now claims he no longer is. A politician would never tell a lie now, would he? ;)
I see you've been reading those junk emails Sid is peddling again.
Obama is a Christian, just like many American's.
There is a reason we are 21st century America and not 20th century fascist Germany.

[QUOTE=Sidney]Some one changed my word! On YouTube, I have seen Musliah say that he is a Muslim![/QUOTE] That is my entire point. Religion has nothing to do with it. Leiberman is a Jew, Romney is a Mormon, McCain is a self proclaimed Judeo-Christian believer and Obama is a Christian. None of that really matters.
What matters is their vision for the country and how many Americans share their vision.

I just happened to find this on a solar message board LDK, thought it was interesting reading. I know the part about the church he attended is marginal at best. Again just thought it was interesting reading.
Palin. I'm a bit confused, let me get this straight. 5-Oct.-08 11:08 am.
-If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic and different.
- Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers: a quintessential American story.
- If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
- Name your kids Willow, Trig, and Track: you're a maverick.
- Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
- Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating: you're well grounded.
- If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
- If your total resume is: local weather girl (sports caster) 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with fewer than 7,000 people, 1.5 years as the governor of a state with 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.
- If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.
- If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a Christian.
- If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
- If while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant, you're very responsible.
- If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't represent America's.
- If your husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DUI conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
- OK, much clearer now!
Today the first hearing with Richard Fuld (ceo of Lehman) in the "House oversight committe", this bastard tried to get away with having suffered with the stock price of Lehman, but in the end he had to admit having put away 200 or 300 million in cash. Just hope that this is the beginning to something similar in the early 2000s (Worldcom, Enron etc) Skilling of Enron, in similar position to Fuld, got 26 years in prison.
He admitted to $300 Million, though people are saying it is closer to $ 450 Million. He was also handing out millions in bonuses to the execs just days before they went belly up.
But he did say he felt " really " bad about everything that happened.

Repeating every lame rumor and getting your news from u-tube, Billy g€raham's outfit and political pundits. You are far better than this. Just write in every post---I HATE OBAMA--and skip the rationalizations. You are not a right winger nor a neo conservative. Let's face it--you just don't like anything about Obama.
That is your right. Don't sink to the level of Palin. Just tell us your personal feelings.
The Republicans have known forever that if the presidential race is based on issues I. E. Economy etc. they will lose.
If the presidential race is based on Obama, his personality, history and qualifications, they will win.
I don't think the Republicans could find a better spokesperson to plant doubts about Obama than Palin.
It is incredible that the presidential race is still in doubt. This should be a Democratic year.
The wild card is Obama. Unfortunately for the Democrats, Obama, unlike Palin, is not perceived to be a very likeable person.
In doubt to whom?
Some wishful thinking Republicans?
Have you seen the polls? Obama has had a sustained and widening lead for the past two weeks, the longest stretch in the entire presidential race. The Repub's were hoping the vice presidential debate would tweak the numbers in their favor. Some in fact were waiting for today's poll results to come out.
And they have, and Obama has a widening lead in almost all battle ground states.

The republicans now are pulling out and conceding a few battle ground states. This is a full scale retreat.

[QUOTE=Sidney]Written by Jerry Teasley of Pine Mountain, GA former Banker.[/QUOTE]Sidney -I like you and respect you - but strongly disagree with your politics.
It is time the USA moved to the left with a real dose of socialism.
I hope - it is only a hope at the moment - that Obama becomes a sort Roosevelt and introduces a new deal.
1. The USA needs to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan asap.
2. The USA badly needs to introduce a universal healthcare system. Why is ok for every other country and not the USA? Americans spend alot more on healthcare and are less healthy than other wealthy nations. Americans accept government susidising the education system but not the health care system. Bizarre. In the USA you have people going bankrupt because of healthcare costs. Incredible.
3. The USA needs to spend big on infrastructure. Bridges are falling down.
3. The USA needs to subsidise housing. The caravan parks are full. Are you not ashamed at the number of homeless people living on the streets?
4. The USA needs to increase income taxes (particularly on high incomes) and on capital gains. The gap between the rich and the poor is growing and must be reversed.
5. Anybody who thinks you can deal with the real issues without running a budget deficit that well exceeds a Trillion dollars is dreaming.
[QUOTE=InArgentina]DH please lift your game. This is a pitiful contribution.[/QUOTE]Your sister wears Army boots. You are just cherry-picking off one thing I said a long time ago. I agree with a lot of what you say in your more recent post except for the idea that increasing the deficit is good, and also subsidizing housing is not a good idea. The homeless problem stems from other, more structural issues. Nowhere ever has government involvement in housing produced good results.
Going to Dick Morris for objective reliable information is about the same as going to gov Palin. He is closely related to the same brain trust the brought you such concepts as.
-Freedom fries.
-The swiftboaters.
-The 2000 survey: would your feelings about john mccain change if you became aware that he had a love child with a black woman.
-Colin powell lying to the united nationas is good public policy.
It's ok to dislike or even hate obama or clinton of ronald regan. Dick Morris is a political spin master and not a reliable souce of information. Verify with fact check who catch both sides in the untruths, half truths and spinning leads into horse shit--and both sides do it. Make your voting decisions on whatever basis you chose, but try to have some legitimate basis even "I just hate the guy" is superior to blindly following spinmasters.
Dick Morris is a worthless whoare. In fact, he probably doesn't believe in much of what he has to say. Like many talking heads, he is most interested in making inflammatory and controversial statements so that he keeps his face and name prominently displayed in the media. By doing so, he has more chance of selling a book, making a speech and making money. It is his pathetic little niche. He's a snake oil salesman.
[QUOTE=InArgentina] It is time the USA moved to the left with a real dose of socialism. [/quote] Sounds like a great campaign slogan for Obama, at least it would be honest.
[QUOTE=InArgentina]I hope - it is only a hope at the moment - that Obama becomes a sort Roosevelt and introduces a new deal. [/quote] He ’s got a “New Deal ” but I doubt most Americans will liken it to Roosevelt.
[QUOTE=InArgentina]1. The USA needs to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan asap. [/quote]Funny last I heard Obama is saying we need more troops in Afghanistan.
[QUOTE=InArgentina]2. The USA badly needs to introduce a universal healthcare system. Why is ok for every other country and not the USA? Americans spend alot more on healthcare and are less healthy than other wealthy nations. Americans accept government susidising the education system but not the health care system. Bizarre. In the USA you have people going bankrupt because of healthcare costs. Incredible. [/quote]In the countries I've visited that have free health care, people with money will not use the free system, what does that tell you?
[QUOTE=InArgentina]3. The USA needs to spend big on infrastructure. Bridges are falling down. [/quote]I only remember one bridge on I-35W in Minnesota collapsing, but perhaps we should give less to foreign countries that don ’t like us anyway and spend that money on “infrastructure.”
[QUOTE=InArgentina]3. The USA needs to subsidise housing. The caravan parks are full. Are you not ashamed at the number of homeless people living on the streets? [/quote]“Caravan parks ” interesting term and not one I would normally expect to hear an American say? Anyway we already have subsidized housing; Have you not heard of HUD programs?
[QUOTE=InArgentina]4. The USA needs to increase income taxes (particularly on high incomes) and on capital gains. The gap between the rich and the poor is growing and must be reversed. [/quote]To all my friends, foes, and acquaintances who think we need to raise taxes especially those who take advantage of the living in a foreign country exemption; please feel free to send extra money to the United States Treasury, they will be happy to receive it, and rest assured you are not required to take advantage of the living in a foreign country exemption.
Also remember paying more taxes is the “patriotic thing to do ”!
So come on boys dig deep, but please keep your hands out of my pockets.
[QUOTE=InArgentina] 5. Anybody who thinks you can deal with the real issues without running a budget deficit that well exceeds a Trillion dollars is dreaming. [/QUOTE]You can if you stop wasteful spending and handouts to the undeserving, but then that really would be dreaming!

Apparently some people (and specifically those who are educated enough to read books and can afford $25 bucks) are interested in what Morris has to say.

FYI, they're all whoares on both sides of the spectrum.
[QUOTE=InArgentina]It is time the USA moved to the left with a real dose of socialism.[/QUOTE]This statement reveals a deep ignorance of the history, values and institutions of the USA. Setting aside the issue of whether or not socialism is good or bad, it's simply not part of the American character in any meaningful way.
A more reasoned prescription would take this into account.
"How do you tell a communist? It's someone who reads Marx and Lenin."
"And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin."
Ronald Reagan
[QUOTE=Jackson]FYI, they're all whoares on both sides of the spectrum.[/QUOTE]BTW. Reagan was a talking head who neither read nor understood Marx.

I thought Reagan got a lot of his economic policies from Marx. I'm just not sure if it was Chico or Zeppo.
[QUOTE=Dickhead]I thought Reagan got a lot of his economic policies from Marx. I'm just not sure if it was Chico or Zeppo.[/QUOTE]I thought George Bush was the president you most hated?
I love the way Ronnie's name still pisses the liberals off. It is hard to run against his record. It's like he said "Facts are a stubborn thing"
Hate's a strong word but yeah, Bush II was / is worse than Reagan. Bush I vs. Reagan, I dunno. Call it a draw. Now Nixon was almost pure evil. Nixon vs Bush II for most hated? Can't say. Not sure. Nixon was smarter though. Bush II is just so mediocre in every regard. At least Bush I could play baseball. Bush II just could not pour piss out of a shoe if you wrote instructions on the heel. Scary fucking stupid and so listens to really dangerous people. Reagan was just sort of a benign dumb ass kind of like Walt Disney.
Ronnie never lost the common touch and I truly believe that he had a good heart. I read is diaries while president. I disagreed with his economic policies and thoughts on regulatory issues --like not regulating the savings and loans.
W is a pawn of his neoconservative handlers and must keep the alliance with the religious right. W has done heavy damage. My feeling about W are like sid's about Obama. Not really Bush, but his handlers disgust me. I wish that W was taking counsel from his dad. The neoconservatives have a radical agenda and have produced radical results.
Bush I or Poppy is the only one of the three that did not radically increase government debt while cutting services. I voted for him the first time.
I gotta say, Bush did a hell of a job in his eight years in office. Historians, looking back, will judge him as one of the most honest, foresighted, courageous leaders ever. They will look back on his legacy and see that he's made the world a safer place, improved the domestic economy, positively impacted the environment, and made huge inroads in problems such as poverty and teen-age pregnancy.
Historians will also look back at his adept handling of domestic crises such as Hurricane Katrina, the banking situation, and above all the war in Iraq, and they will say, "What an intelligent, innovative, and resourceful leader. Yes, he stole an entire election but that should be overlooked in light of his tremendous subsequent achievements."
Yep, that's pretty much what they will probably say.
And W's brother Don almost was criminally charged during the aftermath of the savings and loan crisis.
The Republican party has been taken over by the far right wing and lost it's balance.
We can credit George Bush with having successfully protected the USA from terrorist attacks for 2,586 consecutive days since 9/11 while simultaneously having beaten Al Qaeda to a pulp.
Bob: His name wasn't Don. You mean Neil. Motherfucker should still be in prison for that shit. "Silverado" if you want to actually research it and get it right. Of course, I'm well aware that actually researching facts and getting things right are low priorities for the average Republican.
Now on to Jackson's post,.
Jax, I'm not going to audit your math but Clinton was president for (365 x 8) = 2920 + 2 leap years = 2922 days and nobody really fucked with us. And a bunch of banks did not fail, and he did not send many of our youths to be slaughtered.
I've known you for a long time now, and we seldom agree, and we don't see eye to eye, but can you honestly say that the US is in better shape now than it was when w took office?
Others are encouraged to weigh in as well. Look at where you were on Jan. 20, 2001 and tell me you are better off now.
[QUOTE=Jackson]We can credit George Bush with having successfully protected the USA from terrorist attacks for 2,586 consecutive days since 9/11 while simultaneously having beaten Al Qaeda to a pulp.[/QUOTE]The first terrorist attack was in 1993. That means it was almost 9 years (3285 days) before there was another terrorist attack, so we can thank Bill Clinton for keeping us safe most of that time and he did it without invading another country. If anyone really believes that ALL attacks can be prevented ALL THE TIME, especially in this day and age in a country with nearly open borders, they are delusional.
This is the only thing you repeatedly fall back regarding any REMOTE possibility of a positive to this idiot's presidency. And a large part of that is because it is obviously very difficult to attack us-even when we were not invading other countries 'to fight them there, rather than here'.
I guess you haven't kept in touch but Al Qaeda is very much alive and well, and adding new recruits in Pakistan.
Damn, you sure live in an incredible fantasy world-wish we could all live there and be out-of-touch with reality.
