I think anyone would "struggle" to tell us WHAT, as a legislator, Obama has accomplished.>>>>
Reply
Let's look at just a few things Obama 'tried' to do. You remember the changes to the bankrupcy bill the CONS pushed through for their big money pals? Of course you do. Well Democrats tried to get some amendments in that bill to pass. They didn't. Here's two of them;
1. Amendment 16: Would have protected the homes of those serving in Iraq from bill collectors. You do know that not being able to work, cause you're in Iraq, you can't pay your bills....right? Well, johnny voted NO. Obama voted yes.
2. Amendment 17: Would have protected the elderly from losing their homes to bankruptcy. You know, the elderly who have their savings wiped out from illness? Johnny voted NO. Obama voted yes.
Then johnny voted for cloture. That shut down the discussions. Can't have Americans know what he and his CON pals were doing.
So, there you have just two of johnny boys accomplishments. What a fine man you choose to back. Now you'll have to excuse me, while i vomit.-

'scathing' is what that's called, I think
Reply
and you didn't even mention the most puzzling thing of all: McCain's anti-veteran voting record
what the hell is that? like some example of projected self-loathing?
I'm no political expert, but I sniffed out immediately that Obama had a pretty clean record, deduced it from the nature the rhetoric against him.
Imagine if Obama went hardcore negative on McCain? Instead of showing him in an ad with Paris bemoaning celebrity, an ad with McCain split-screen with Edwards saying 'some things people do [dramatic political ad pause] cross all party lines' . Or referencing the veteran vote thing. Or the flip-flops and misspeak. Or the Keating Five [didn't they have a hit song called 'last train to Clarksville' or something? and did McCain play keyboard or just BASE.
But Barack's camp seems to be rankin on Johnny only for the Big Oil campaign moneys, I haven't seen other Obama ads of a 'negative' attack-y nature
----
here is a very weird you tube clip of a confused McCain, it takes him an unusually long time to recognize his own wife as he goes thru the robotic glad-handing process...just an odd bit of strangeness that struck me

I've decided that the Democrats have a fatal flaw. They assume that Americans are intelligent, as a whole. They assume Americans will listen to facts, and pay attention to issues. They're wrong. And for that reason, just might lose this election. Americans, as a whole, are sound bite morons.

there is also an odd phenomenon where people will hear people say something enough times, they'll repeat it as fact, accept it
Reply
John Madden, the football guy? He actually has a masters in education, and claims that repetition is the main way people learn
so when a larger than life figure like Rush says liberal this and liberal that for 20 years, suddenly liberal is a dirty word, and used as an insult here
Its some kind of conditioning
I hope the majority of Americans are not morons, but I can see how you reached that conclusion
Voter turnout alone is not a good indication
I actually think that Obama will get in-he's a much more appealing candidate-INFINITELY so, than Kerry.
So, for many reasons, if McCain wins I will be really shocked and have to conclude as you have, that critical thinking has become as rare as clean air-

ah see, you've set up a conundrum by thinking you're a critical thinker
Reply
what if you're NOT a critical thinker? If you're not a critical thinker, how would you think it out well enough to reach that conclusion?
just playing, you are quite likable and reasonable from what I've read here recently
some would say there is not a whole lot that can prepare one for leading the free world
some point at governorship or long Senate time, but is that really the same thing?
I am not reassured by McCain's agedness and experience as a Senator, especially since his decline the last few years in anything resembling straight talk or stalwartness
you want a stalwart free-thinking maverick?
Ron Paul not only crossed party lines to vote AGAINST the war in Iraq, he voted against funding it as well
I'm not a fan of either guy, uh, either, but McCain's longer experience is littered with scandal and liability and recent flip-flopping, so that's why I would pick the less experienced candidate-that and I'm not sure there IS appropriate experience for the big chair[not that I would know much about the inner-workings of government, just that a governor or senator is definitely not a president] -

Hiring McCain on experience is like hiring a typewriter repairman because your hard drive crashed. McCain promises that he can faithfully extend the policies that have dug is into this hole. The world has changed significantly and what we need is someone who can recognize that old rules about borders, trade, and economics have changed and therefore we as a country need to adapt. Does anyone know of a company that still makes typewriters? McBush's experience is no longer relevent. We need a leader who understands the new world.

The problems of yesterday are the same as the problems of today. Technology has changed , but human problems have not. Obama is a child and is not ready, maybe in 10 to 15 years. He has no way of knowing how to make the hard choices that a real leader has to make.

True, McCain has about 22 years senatorial experience (MINUS 62% absences.) Still, that's more than Obama. Are you pleased with the state of the union today? Are things better today than 22 years ago because of McCain? Are your Constitutional freedoms more secure? McCain's 22 years of influence and all the baggage he has accumulated (lies and flip-flops, immorality, pro-amnesty, pandering, etc) represents the best argument I can think of to THROW THE BUM OUT!
Reply
McCain was flatly REJECTED in 2000. I'm dying to know: what great things has he (or his party) done since then that would make me want to elect him now? -

Yes but what kind of experience? If you ask most Americans they are tired of the way things work in Washington. I'm looking to Obama's lack of experience in these ways to help us change them. Now this may come back to bite us in the backside, but considering what has been going on for the last 7 years alone I'm willing to take that chance.

I agree, unfortunately one of these men will have to be the next president, unless someone can mount a real good write in campaign.
Reply
I don't know why anyone would want this job, it is a tremendous amount of pressure and you are under constant scrutiny by the other party always looking for an edge. As president you don't make the laws, all you can do is stop them. But it doesn't matter because you are the one that always gets the blame.
Obama has no experience that I can tell. It is easy to vote to give away the store when it is not yours, it is tough to not.

If i had any facts to listen to I would gladly listen. Obama won't be specific on any of his plans and won't do Town Halls with McCain so that seems very sneaky to me. Like he is hiding his agenda from us.
Reply
My research shows me that he is a commie loving Socialist with poor judgement in friends and mentors.-

We know for a fact that McCain VOTED for the Iraqi war, and he bears the responsibility for more than 4000 of our bravest losing their lives. He has also voted against benefits for vets.
Reply
Where is his conscience?
Let us also not forget that he is the one who was tortured in North Vietnamese prison, and was speaking with enough bravada that he will not accept torture in any form -
Until he had a private meeting with Cheney. Nobody knows for sure what happened during that meeting, but when McCain came out he was a subdued and sullen sorry a*s who mumbled that waterboarding was OK.
We all can speculate and guess. My guess is that Cheney had something on McCain and he tiold hi that he would use it. Some foprm of political blackmail, maybe?
Who knows. The only thing I remember is the ashen face of this paper tiger trying to lose himself in the crowd!
A very, very disturbing event, indeed! -

Here's a newsflash for you: Obama and McCain ARE NOT the only two people in the race! When you learn how to read and develop some comprehension skills, start over. I never wrote, or even hinted, that I "choose to back" the warmongering, adulterous, lying McShame and he has nothing whatsoever to do with my comments -- neither do Democrats, CONS, "johnny boys [sic] accomplishments," nor how anyone voted. In point of fact, McShame is Congress' most absent senator and Obama frequently votes, "present." As senators, they're both pathetic. Your typical liberal response is to attack someone (me) based on your perception of reality which you obtained from thin air.

1. Johnny voted no because it was covered by the Soldiers and Sailor's Relief Act (SSRA). The same bill frees military from Federal taxation when in a Theater of Operations (TOO)
Reply
2. Johnny voted no because this is a small part of Medicare. But realisitically, is it the government's job to protect anyone's house if they can't pay their bills?
I will wait to hear more of Obama's "accomplishments" as a legislator.-

If the gov. can bail out the organizations that lent them the money, then why not.
Freddie and Friends get a 5 trillion helping hand, and those poor suckers that got sucked in get the shaft.
And this is capitalism????

Don't forget how he voted to not protect already born live babies .
Reply
How about his dream of a socialist nation?
His close and long time associations with terrorists,bombers, racists, and America haters?
Race has nothing to do with it. The man is a communist lover.
His history proves it.
I'd take anyone over a commie lover. Even Peewee Herman-

This is the same pathetic post you did earlier. Get some new ideas. And also there are more important poblems in this country than Abortion: Such as:
Reply
The energy prices that Bush is responsible for.
The recession that Bush is responsible for.
The War Crimes Bush has committed.
There are thousands more things more imortant in this country than someone choosing to terminate a pregnancy, which is not a baby. Which also shows your ignorance. The fact you want to take away someones freedom to choose is extremely unamerican.-

This isn't an abortion thread, but since you want to make it one...
Reply
First, we should just agree to disagree on whether a fetus is a baby. That debate will not be conceded by either of us. automan909 spoke about "already born live babies" which you claim "is not a baby." Huh? Come back when you sober up, and maybe he won't seem so ignorant. Personally, I don't see anything "extremely unamerican" about ensuring a LIVE BABY's life will not be deprived without due process. It's in the 5th Amendment -- you know, that pesky Constitution thingy that keeps getting in the way of the liberal agenda.
You say, "someone's freedom to choose" as blithely as people refer to "collateral damage" when referring to war crimes. Murder in the womb and murder on the streets are BOTH murder.-

Your comrade made it an abortion thread. He spoke about abortion in one of his other threads. And as I stated in another thread, there needs to be no law concerning killing of live babies, because in pretty much every state carries the same penalty as Murder. So some kind of new law is redundant.

I would have been shocked if Johnny the Vet-Hating Vet McCain had actually voted for the military for once. Five votes AGAINST VA funding. Mr. McVacation also skipped ten Iraq votes despite being the #1 cheerleader for the war; had better things to do. Also voted AGAINST troop funding, armor, and equal time off as on in Iraq/Afghanistan.
Oh, and he was against the NEW GI bill.
Maybe if there were only white males in the military he would be different. -
