Why do you hate America so much? Or is it only people of color that you hate so much?

Also, when I look at John McCain, I see a man who will keep in place all the huge tax cuts for the super rich and do nothing to alleviate the burdens of low and middle class Americans.

John McCain will keep the Patriot Act intact and that act is unconstitutional because it permits any of us U.S. Citizens to be plucked off the street without probable cause and be held without knowing what the charges against us are.

Senator Obama understands constitutional law better than Senator McCain. I believe that Senator Obama would restore civil liberties to the people of this country.

As between Senator Obama and Senator McCain, I truly believe Senator Obama is the least lousy solution. As someone once said, sometimes in politics, that is the best you can get.

I am still a Hillary Clinton supporter. Senator Obama may need her as his VP pick to get enough support to win.

When I look at John McCain, I see that he admittedly is not knowledgeable about the Economy. What I do know is that John McCain wants the Republican Spending, Spending, Spending on the War in Iraq to continue longer than I do. The economy will not get any better until we stop throwing our money in the deep black hole of the Iraq War. After 8 years of Republican leadership our country is NINE TRILLION IN DEBT.

When I look at John McCain, I see a man with a plethora of health problems who has yet to pick a running mate. It is very possible that Senator McCain''s running mate will be come President. McCain could have a heart attack or stroke at any time. To me, the choice of his running mate will be extremely important.

When I look at John McCain, I see a man deeply anti-abortion and it makes me wonder, what John McCain thinks about stem cell research.

As between Senator Obama and Senator McCain, I believe Senator Obama is the least lousy solution. Sometimes in politics, that is the best you can get.

I think Senator Obama is on the wrong track on this issue because even though the drilling would not net results for a long while, it would send a message to OPEC that their market share will eventually be reduced. That could upset OPEC enough to stop the current price gouging, that is, make OPEC stop killing their golden goose. If we had started drilling 15 years ago, we''''d have the oil now.

And I guess that the74blaster''s method for providing tax relief is to confiscate CEO pay - as though taking that $50 million he''s railing about will do anything. It works out to about 20 cents/year for everyone in this country. So if every CEO in the Fortune 1000 made 50 million/year, and we confiscated every dime of it, that''s $200/year per person. Then go and find some volunteers to lead every one of the biggest companies for free, because the current CEO''s won''t.

Is it the Wright way to have Damnation with Obamanation through Decapitation?
Listen all and practice
Sura (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

There is some cool beheading videos online for those who want to see first hand experience of Muslim people who read the Koran that follow the path of the way of the beheading bliss?

The blade goes around your throat as you cry out for this not to happen? You begin to grasp for air as the Muslim cuts deeper and deeper into you throat. You realize that in a few seconds your head will be removed for the purpose of Islam. The last thing you notice is the eyes of the person who is cutting into your bone. You shriek your final breath as you know that time cannot go backwards for this not to happen to you!

This is the Muslim way to a better way!
Do you think Decapitation is the Wright way to have Damnation with Obamanation?
Listen all and practice
If Obama is not a Muslim let him renounce it the way a Muslim would renounce it!

I would rather vote for a slight chance at change than vote for no chance.

Define "change".. Ubrew wants to raise taxes on Americans (post in this thread around midnight)... Posters in other threads want to nationalize oil companies... Obama''s definition of change is, well, nobody really knows, because he''s not saying.

Whatta crock! Obama gets a twinkle in his eye every time he sees a *** tax avaialble. And you''''ll be paying more for all his proposals and will be doing good to get half your paycheck and won''''t be eligible for any of his gimme programs!

He''''s an idiot!

Obama is not perfect and I never said he was. However, roughly 3/4s of us feel the country is headed in the wrong direction. Is voting for McCain going to change this?

Probably not. Is voting for Obama going to change this. Possibly but its also not a certainty.

However, the fact that Obama is talking about our nations infrastructure and McCain is not clearly defines their intent.

I would rather vote for a slight chance at change than vote for no chance.

As far as being better or worse off by voting specifically for someones pocketbook, it would provide the necessary motivation for the politicains to start representing the majority rather than those who can afford to pay lobbists.

Let us discuss this "Wind Fall Profits" Tax I still hear OsamaObama out on the stump pushing for:

The real profits being made on oil if the crude producers....60% of which are OPEC nations.

Reckon how many of them will cough up OsamaObama''s tax??

Reckon how long Exxon will remain a US based company if they can''t recover OsamaObama''s tax by charging us real Americans for it??

I see Exxon is already dumping all of their retail outlets nation wide. Looks to me like a company about one step away from moving everything to Dubai and shooting OsamaObama the middle finger of defiance.

Oh wait....That''s what OsamaObama and his Democrat suck buddies are currently doing to all of us real Americans already.

Whatsamatter with you OsamaObama hummer buddies?? What made you hyphenated-American so full of hate for America??

I find it interesting to watch OsamaObama calling on a hyphenated-American like Schwarzenegger to support his un-American positions.

Guess these hyphenated-Americans flock together.

Whatsa matter with all you OsamaObama lovers? Never thought I''d see the day so many folks who call themselves Americans would be so willing to destroy America as we know it today.

Can you believe it....Osama Obama says he has no real problem with gas prices being at their current price, he simply wish they wouldn''t have gone up so fast.

Translation, if you dummies think these prices are high now, just wait and see what me and my greenie weenie buddies will do to these gas prices when my election is confirmed.....Can you say $7-$10 per gallon!!!

Whatsa matter with you dimbulb OsamaObama supporting hyphenated-Americans?? Do you truly hate this nation this much??

Can you people believe this?? OsamaObama actually saying, John McCain has "flip flopped" on his position to allow drilling off the continental shelf.

Someone really should educated this imature, inexperenced boy about what a flip flop is.

OsamaObama, a flip flop is what you are currently doing on this public financing.

A flip flop is what you did with Rev. Wright.

A flip flop is what you did to the black seperatist church you was a member of for the past 20 years.

A flip flop is you now claiming that you like whitey.

What John McCain has done is solely a matter of representing the people of America.

Not dictating to them as you propose.

Whatsa matter with you mush for brains OsamaObama supporters. Do you truly hate America this much??

I mean how many passes are Obama supporters going to give this idiot before they wake up!!!???

Posted by RowdyWicca,

I get more tax relief from Obama than I do from McCain. Unlike previous elections I am voting with my pocketbook in mind.

I suggest everyone else do the same.

I am tired of hearing about CEOs getting a 50 million bonus after they layoff more Americans to improve the bottom line of a corporation. That is the easy way out and any one of us could do that job function.

If corporations were concerned about competing internationally they would sack the CEO and keep the 50 million bonus and the technical staff during a recession. Keeping 50 million in salary to support the salaries of 500 competent engineers and scientists will do more for a companys future that retaining one over priced CEO.

Its time to send a message to high rollers by voting out the politicians supporting their agenda. Unfortunately, McCain is the presumptive GOP nominee and his is going to pay for Bushs unwavering support of the high rollers.

Obama pissed off the Arabs and Jews in one speech
Obama gave three different stances on Venezuela in two days
Obama pissed off a whole nation by calling them typical white people
Obama pissed off rural people by basically calling them ignorant
Obama pissed off half the country by insinuating everybody the criticizes him are racists
Obama lied about his ancestors, his stances on half the issues, his associates and mentors, his legislative prowess which is NIL
Obama promoted public financing, then killed his own stance by being greedy
Obama pissed off half the voters by buying the nomination and threatening his opponent into backing him or else
Obama''''s grumpass wife hasn''''t done anything for anybody but herself, says she''''s never been proud of her country, and calls America mean...what the hell?
Obama''s just pissed because McCain suggested a solution before he got to it...I mean that''s what his oil and energy people PAID him to do...

I mean how many passes are Obama supporters going to give this idiot before they wake up!!!???

I urge CBS NEWS not to become what ABC NEWS has become. The following accurately depicts what ABC NEWS is doing:

Obama said this. Obama said that. Obama is doing this and that. Obama, Obama, Obama, Obama.... Oh, yes, hallelujah Obama, more Obama, and yet more Obama. Obama is good. Obama is soooo good. Obama is great. Obama, Obama, Obama. In honor of the relationship between ABC News and Obama, its name should be changed to ABC-Obama News. At least that would be honest.
