National Review: A Close Race And Unanswered Questions Put The Pressure On Obama

[kennedy7955]

I watched the video collage on Hillary Clinton last night. I was asking myself how a women who claims to be for women and children and who says we must protect the weak. Can turn her back on the weakest and most abused people in our society. The unborn. Frankly I hope there is a special place in hell for people who harm children and advocate the right to do so."

I hate abortion and I do not need religion to feel this way. But the fact is that abortion has been around since the beginning of time. To go back to a time where women had abortions in back alleys and in 3rd world countries is senseless. You can make abortion illegal but it will not go away.

Prohibition did not stop alcohol consumption. Laws right now do little to nothing to stop illegal (and legal) drugs from being used and abused. Laws against speeding don''t stop speeding, and laws against gambling don''t stop illegal gambling. The clamor for the overthrow of Roe vs. Wade would not solve this problem either.

The only answer is education and support for these pregnant women. All you religious nuts should be sending piles of money for education, prevention and support of mothers and children faced with poverty. But all I ever hear from the religious is to change the law.

Bush went from a surplus to a $9 trill debt financed by China. How great does that make you feel as an American?

============

get your facts straight, there was no surplus. From the US Treasurey website:

Fiscal Year - 2000
Year Ending - 09/29/2000
National Debt - $5.67418 trillion
Deficit - $17.91 billion

Dear Xyno, you are right and wrong. The actual debt of the country is likely as you have stated. The account current, the amount the government was spending vs. what it was taking in, was a surplus of over $1 trill in the last year of the Clinton presidency.

That doesn''t mean the "national credit card" was paid off - but for the first time in 45 years our country had a budget surplus.

Nice try.

kennedy7955: I beg to differ. Obama will spend in such a way it will make Bush look good? McCain is catching a lot of flack for his votes against nobel projects that were financially irresponsible. Remember, Obama gave the Tax breaks to big oil. McCain voted against them. These guys will shift all over the place but when the dust settles and one wins he will revert to his true colors. McCain is a fiscal conservative at heart and will fight to balance the budget. He won''''t be able to, but he will try. I wish I could tell you what Obama was going to do other than spend, But he is to wish washy to pin down. ... I almost expect him to flip flop from a Democrat to a Republican some time soon.

Let us agree that using past history as an indicator and not assumptions is the best way to forecast how either of the candidates would perform.

So let us compare Clinton with Bush. Who spent more? Who increased the size of the government more? Who was overall more fiscally conservative? Which of these 2 parties was more fiscally responsible?

The Republican party of smaller government, lower taxes and smaller government is a fallacy, a complete an utter lie. It was under Bush, under Reagan and certainly will be if McCain become President. It is time for you to leave the Republicans as I did 4 years ago and see the truth.

I almost expect him to flip flop from a Democrat to a Republican some time soon.

I wish we had a third option to Obama and McCain. That 3rd option would be nobody. That 3rd option would be on the ballot. Vote for Obama, McCain or nobody at all. If nobody wins, the Presidency would be vacant for the next 4 years. It would be a signal to our politicians that we are disgusted to the point that we would rather have no President than the choices they have given us.

I look back at the Bush Presidency and can''t help but feel that we would have been better of with no President at all. McCain gives me the same feeling and to a lesser degree, so does Obama.

[noloyalisti]

But no one has given me one good reason to vote for McSame. Please, just one.

All the righties can do is character assassinate because they are out of material. Their Grand Oil Party has allowed fascism to take hold and all they sell is war and death and higher taxes for my kids. In short look around and see what has happened the last 8 years. And 50% of the country want more of the McSame. No one is that stupid.

[kennedy7955]

As a proud member of the United States Navy for 22 years, ... Obama candidacy is completely ridiculous. Would anyone in their right mind consider putting a newly commissioned young Ensign in charge ... That''''''''s exactly what the Obama campaign is asking the American voters to do and the answer should be a resounding "NO". He needs about another eight years of experience and a lot more credits to his resume before he can handle that kind of pressure and responsibility. -America First- Posted by NaVVet2"

Thank you for your service. With all due respect, what did all the experience that Bush had do for this country over the last 8 years? Are you happy with this idiot in charge? How many people in the service did he get killed for nothing? Bush went from a surplus to a $9 trill debt financed by China. How great does that make you feel as an American?

McCain has been in power for over 30 years. He was there at Bush''s side through it all. Doesn''t McCain deserve the blame (or if you prefer credit) for what has happened?

If you are a fiscal conservative, a believer in smaller government and not larger - then those 2 reasons alone should have you quitting the Republican party. The dems are more fiscally conservative and smaller government than George Bush has ever been. This is not an opinion but fact.

Obama is not perfect and not my first choice. But compared to McCain he is the only option.

[kennedy7955]

Barack''''s a loser. You dems can thank your media for giving you "Chicago''''s Best",......still can''''t believe he even made it this far. I thought party loyalty was bad in the republican party. They doesn''''t even register on the meter compared to the "do-nothingbuttaxocrats". McCain''''s gonna take this election.....Hold on there rep''''s....my standards don''''t change for either party, so don''''t start your cockle doodle doin'''' just yet. Both sides standards remind me of an electrical "rheostat" in variability.....I''''m voting for Chuck Baldwin of the Constitution Party as principles rule over party kowtowing. Posted by cfin5"

I am going to handwrite my name in on the ballot and then I will have the same chance of winning the presidency as Chuck Baldwin. In fact, when I win I will make him my VP.

It''s going to be fun tonight! Here''s the game: see how many people you can identify whose words are stolen by Plagiarist-Joe and used in his speech - without attribution. If you get:

0-10 right = you are an ignoramus who would vote for anybody, including a liar and plagiarist
11-100 right = you are not a totally brain-dead democrat, and there might be hope for you
101-1000 right = you actually seem to have some discernment and ethics and probably did not cheat on your law school exam
1001+ = you are a winner! you are clearly too smart for the hope-change, change-hope, hopeable-change, changeable-hope BS and will vote for somebody other than sweetie hussein.

Good luck!

I''''m sure glad most people in this country are not as intelligent as you. If they were this country would be up the creek. Your type is the kind that will destroy this country. Posted by hungrymama "

What are you talking about? Look what Bush and the Republicans have done to this country! What do the Republicans have to do for you to not support them? Punch you in the face? Bring the country to total collapse? Send the last job to China? Borrow the last dollar from the Chinese?

What is wrong with this country that 50% of the people would actually consider voting for McCain? Insane.

[hungryman9]

Is there really almost half this country who is so ignorant they would vote for 4 more years of McBush? Well I guess these morons did vote for Bushoccio. I can''''t believe people are that stupid, the fascist corporations who own the media must be lying, as usual.

As a proud member of the United States Navy for 22 years, I have to say that this Obama candidacy is completely ridiculous. Would anyone in their right mind consider putting a newly commissioned young Ensign in charge of a ballistic missle submarine and send him on patrol in hostile waters? That''''s exactly what the Obama campaign is asking the American voters to do and the answer should be a resounding "NO". He needs about another eight years of experience and a lot more credits to his resume before he can handle that kind of pressure and responsibility. -America First-

You are so RIGHT. I spent 27 years in service, Korea and Viet Nam and I get sick of reading all these liberals that think they know everything. Some of the dumbest people I know are Harvard grads and liberals.
They all should serve some time in service and in some of the other countries and I think their attitude would be different.

[ken1dall]

Say "goodnight" Barack.

[noloyalisti]

Remember paris1969 who allowed the attack to happen. The Butch administration. In other words the damage was done (the benefits for the neo con men).

Do we really want more unemployment, more debt, more foreclosures, more wars and more of our money going to Exxon and Chevron. Vote Obama and Dems. Vote the fascist GOP out.

[roger3815]

I AM JUST SHOCKED! SHOCKED I SAY!
That the NRO-GOP *** would write such an "article" denouncing the Democratic convention.

[vastr-wcon]

.
The main event of the Dem Convention, Hillary''s speech, is now over. The remaining bureaucratic/administrative minutia are best ignored by all Americans that believe in democracy.

Just as the clear winner of the popular vote in 2000 was Al Gore, the clear winner of the popular vote in the Dem primaries was Hillary. Just as Gore was denied his rightful victory by manipulations and un-democratic procedure, so too was Hillary gored.

Time has not healed the result of the 2000 debacle. In fact, the thief of that election is now regarded as the WORST ever by the overwhelming majority of Americans and people of the entire world. The same will occur with the Dem primaries of 2007/2008. History will eventually label "sweetie" hussein, and his equally unethical side-kick Plagiarist-Joe, as the WORST - regardless of what happens subsequently in 2008 and beyond.

Americans do not like cheaters. The stench of his action in hijacking the nomination is permanently attached to hussein. Plagiarist-Joe should steal a word other than "clean" to describe him.

as terrible as so many on these blogs think the Bush Administration has been, we have never been attacked since 9-11 ... and it is too bad so many people are too foolish to be grateful for this.
