Comments on: Seniors Closely Watching Presidential Race

McCain Holds Advantage In Demographic Renowned For Voter Turnout

[ragnar30066]

People tend to vote for people they identify with.

So Obama wants everybody to have the audacity of Hope and be committed to Change. In the 1920''s the German did that, and World War II resulted. More recently South Africa thought that it was time to take the land back from the minority white landowners and distribute it to the majority black poor, and starvation resulted. In fact, in the past century changes have been implemented by government with high hopes and the best intentions, time after time, with the result that freedoms are lost, property taken, lives lost, etc., etc.

So why do the Obamatoids think their "movement" will be any different than any of the other bowel movements of history? Experience indicates that it will be no different, if it is permitted to happen.

I am one senior citizen (72)who will be voting for Obama.

I want the world to be a better place for future generations and, obviously, looking at the past 8 years, that can only happen with a president like Obama.

[ubrew12]

I''m not too happy with our Senior voters. Many voted out Carter, who''s crime was trying to pay for the Vietnam war, voted in Reagan, who tripled the national debt, voted OUT Bush Sr, who tried to reign IN that debt, tut-tutted as Republicans hamstrung Clinton with unlimited investigations, culminating in his impeachment over a BJ, and voted in Bush Jr, who brought that national debt to $10 trillion.

Guess who''s been soaking up government services that haven''t been paid for in the last 30 years? Seniors.

Guess who left a $10 trillion debt to their grandchildren to PAY for their government services? Seniors.

Oh yeah. Our seniors really gotta pulse on a little-a-that old-time morality! NOT!

This is why McSame is becoming such a pathetic figure. Obama will beat him into the ground come November. And, McSame knows there isn''t anything he can do to stop it. McSame''s attacks will become even more negative as the election approaches. But, these attacks will only prove that McSame is devoid of any ideas as to how to clean up the mess left by the Bush/Cheney Administration. Obama 08!!!

"For all you liberals who have been saying that McCain is too old to be president - please keep up your age discrimination attacks - it only ensures that senior citizens will never vote for Obama."
Posted by OneAmerican_

I would never say McCain is too old to be president.

I will say he''s too crazy to be president. So, I guess I am somewhat prejudice against crazy people becoming president.

And it came to pass when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.

The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of affirmative-action special treatment and righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed and a little blow.

When he was twelve years old, they found him in the temple in the City of Chicago learning all from the Prophet God D@#! America Jeremiah and the Elders. And they went forth singing the praises of Hope-Change, Change-Hope, Hope-able Change, Change-able Hope and similar droppings from the mighty bull.

In the great Battles of Caucus and Primary he smote the proficient Hillary, wife of the deposed King Bill the Priapic and their barbarian hordes of Working Class Whites.

And so it was the Child ventured forth - for the first time - to bring the light unto all the world, and he was declared "TheOne".

Rejoice America, the callow Child savior from the loony-left is here. Forget the vote ye bitter non-believers clinging to thy guns and false religions, for the liberal media hath already anointed TheOne president. Also behold that Sarkozy (The Flamboyant) and al-Maliki (The Wayward Puppet) have acknowledged him as divine ruler of all mankind. Further resistance is futile.

OK when Howard Stern who I thought was a Liberal calls Democrats Communist, its time to really think if you want Obama the Marxist for President. This stuff is funny.

%u201CI go, %u2018That%u2019s it!%u2019%u201D Stern said. %u201C[I] go, %u2018You know what Don, I%u2019ve voted Republican and I%u2019ve voted Democrat. I have vowed I will never vote for a Democrat again. I don%u2019t give a [expletive] %u2013 no matter who they are. I don%u2019t care if God becomes a Democrat.%u2019 I said, %u2018I backed Hillary Clinton, I backed Al Gore, I backed John Kerry. I am done with them.%u2019%u201D



Stern took it a step even further and called Democrats on the FCC %u201Ccommunists%u201D and referred to their tactics as %u201Cgangsterism.%u201D



%u201CThe fact that these Democrats on the FCC are communists,%u201D Stern said. %u201CThey%u2019re for communism. They don%u2019t want to see companies %u2013 this is gangsterism. I said, %u2018This is crazy.%u2019%u201D

kailumego1,
We need to hear more from people like you thank you for speaking up.

[kailumego1]

This is a contest about "race", and it matters less about Obama''s qualifications, white America isn''t ready to relinquish its grip of hegemonic control.

I''ve had the unfortunate experience of seeing both sides of the spectrum, the vile evilness of both blacks and whites.

Like Obama, I''m biracial, no compliment, because you get to experience both sides of misanthropy.

I''m read various comments on this blog about Obama''s relationship with Rev. Wright, and his disdain for white folks, notwithstanding, his mothers is Caucasian.

Certainly he''s experience bigotry, in spite, he was raised by a white mother/grandmother.

The problem here with so many blacks and whites, neither is willing to conceit to the vileness within their own families, communities.

[kailumego1]

Obama has seen both sides, which I admire his courage to expound upon this malignancy, unlike those blacks and whites that try desperately to hide.

What''s unique about this election it has brought out the "bowels of vileness" from both blacks and whites.

Comparing Obama to Hitler, this is only a tip of the iceberg.

In the pass few weeks I''ve heard real insanity, white folks referencing people in third-world countries as "dirty little beings", untouchables, while black folks blaming whites for "black degradation, e.g. black on black crime".

I''m quite sure it has been times that Obama has wished he was neither black nor white, considering the hypocrisy coming from both sides.

Many white folks have accused him of being a "black Nationalist", while I''ve heard some blacks accused him of being a "token N@#$$er".

What Obama is a representation of is the "good-bad-ugly- embitteredness" of both sides, blacks and whites.

He may not have the political experience of McCain, but he does have an advantage over McCain, he has the ability to see out-side-the-box.

Obama has the ability to see the goodness and vileness of both sides, and have the courage to speak upon it.

The real holdups of progress are those embittered whites and blacks that refuse to relinquish their own inadequacies for the good of this country.

[tawpdawg111]

Obama is careful not to allow politicization of a visit to the gravely wounded soldiers in Germany only to come home and have the GOP do EXACTLY THAT ! They''re SCUM!

Vote for them if you wish but I believe they have NO SCRUPLES.

[jonstorm-2009]

Continued from previous: My God put in a good days work and stop worrying about your next vacation or your next NASCAR race. If they want lesser government than don''t participate in government. We need hard working poeple with ideas about how to unite this country and give us back the inspiration we need to really lead by example. And I am sorry there is nothing wrong with Europeans. They settled this great land and gave us most of our customs and governinig laws. Go visit Europe before you admit it disgusts you. Have you ever been to Germany or France or the UK? Before Bush they loved us. After Bush I was belittled and marginalized. They have seen more war and hate then most and are to be included in the debate about who leads the Free World. That is if Republicans still want to be respected Leaders. The other choice is a playground bully like Bush and McCain. Read their BIO''s.

[jonstorm-2009]

Now that Obama has completed his highly inappropriate magical mystery tour, let''''s see how much good it has actually done him. I''''ve heard many comments from people not previously critical of him expressing embarassment and disapproval of his trek around the world followed by the fawning, drooling mindless press. Frankly, it makes me even more determined to actively get involved in seeing this inexperienced, arrogant, rudderless twit defeated. By the way, you all DO know that we have another candidate running for the office, don''''t you???

So now the BLAME everyone but themselves REPUBUBLICANS, are blaming the media. You people are so pathetic. You call Democrats whiner''s but you guys are a bunch of BLAMERS. Take some responsiblity for once in your lives. Get up and do a hard days work and stop worrying about ***, A woman''s right to Choose and our need to ensure that every American can Own a Semi Automatic Weapon. Republican''s are the most lazy excuses for people it is scary. They only want to manage, hand all the work over to their under paid staff and then get out on the Golf Course where they feel like they are rulers of the world. cont..

[dakotaclark]

Hmmm%u2026

It is hard to believe that Senators McCain and Obama are the best we can come up with for the 2008.

Of the lesser candidates, about a dozen in all, Barr, Paul, Nader, etc., all are in need of mental health treatment. They believe they actually have a chance at getting elected president, but their chances of getting elected president are the exact same as them becoming the next Pope or Czar of Russia.

In addition to looking like a cadaver waiting to happen, I cannot help but notice how Senator McCain is appearing and sounding petty and spiteful. He says and does things that are like an old grouch or sourpuss. Plus, his staff does not have the sense to realize that Senator McCain%u2019s preference for black clothing makes him look older.

It is beginning to look like Senator McCain really is a cantankerous old phart, with health issues. Most media print only pictures of the right side of his face to avoid making him look much older by showing the cancer treatment areas of the left side.

I have been a Republican since 1964. However, I find it embarrassing to see that Senator McCain is the best we can come up with for 2008. None of the other GOP hopefuls are much good either.

[ajaxtheleast]

Hear the repubs?

Rattling off all of the news sources
and claiming that they are LIBERAL?

Talking points! Reverse is true.

One site slipped up today and reported
that the road to the baghdad airport
is nothing but blast walls.

So where are the pictures if the media
is so liberal?

And if the blast walls on Blast Wall Blvd.
aren''t shown what else that is touted as to
being so peaceful are we not able to see
a panoramic view there-of?

Another site reports that there are now
150,000 of our troops in Iraq and only
about 6 or 7 JOURNALISTS covering them.

All others were, for reporting what they
saw, stripped of their imbedded status.

Was this on the "liberal" TV news?

(Since about 6 months ago I literally
stopped watching TV for all I know it
WAS reported and stand corrected.
But I have so much faith in the press,
TV news and most web sites that I''d bet
that it wasn''t reported.)

Anyone comparing Obama to Hitler needs to go back and finish 4th grade. Come on, get a history book and read a little.
