Hey,FromTexwLove

The subject if this board is supposed to be political dirty tricks, or should we say REPUBLICAN dirty tricks?

No point talking to you about that. You ARE a Republican dirty trick!

Tell me...are you just another Republican hack or is your brain so bent that you actually believe the hate-filled lunacy you post?

Democraps...how clever! Did you have help with that one, or did one of your dismally few active brain cells suddenly kick in accidently?

My senior drill instructer told us that only two things come from Texas...can you say, "Mooo?"

Or are you part of a third catigory, Texasdumassacus?

Or...?

L
isten to what he said, and stop deluding yourself into believing he said something else. It is his intention to regulate the coal industry into bankruptcy! Do you have any idea what that means? At least 50 percent of our nation''''s energy supply comes from coal! If you attempt to cut back on that production by even 10 percent you will destroy our economy utterly... we''''re talking GREAT DEPRESSION PART TWO here!

COPY AND PASTE THIS ALL OVER COMMUNITY MESSAGE BOARDS, LET THE PEOPLE KNOW WHAT OBAMA IS ABOUT.

I WILL BE BANNED FOR EVEN LETTING PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS VIDEO, GOOD LUCK AND GOD SPEED!!!

For 8 years, Bush supporters (now McCain supporters) have cried with every mistake that it was not his fault or he had no control or blame Clinton.

One thing is for sure, no matter what happens, Obama will always be responsible if he becomes president.

If Obama becomes president, the days of THE PRESIDENT IS NOT RESPONSIBLE is over for McCain supporters.

Further proof you Republicans are morons. You could honestly do a child this way? Sad...


GROSSE POINTE FARMS, Mich. %u2013 A suburban Detroit woman has decided to scare up the vote among neighborhood children by just offering treats to John McCain supporters.

Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms, Mich., handed out candy Friday only to those who shared her support for the Republican presidential candidate and his running mate Sarah Palin. Others were turned away empty-handed.

TV station WJBK says a sign outside Nagel''s house warned: "No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters."

Nagel calls Democrat Barack Obama "scary." When asked about children who were turned away empty-handed and crying, she said: "Oh well. Everybody has a choice."

Fax and phone messages left at numbers for Nagel were not returned.

whosaid1,

Now, if you could have just felt that way about Bush in 2000 and 2004, you might have been useful.

Yes...I fear Obama is going to win.....then starts a short period of celebration for some...then unfortunately, comes the realization of what "we''ve" done....nothing one can say would make me believe ...that this is going to be a pleasant experience for the country.

Palin isn''''t much fun to pick on anymore.

Her ignorance & illiteracy are so well known by now that it''''s no longer funny or newsworthy.

She is the most unfit person I''''ve ever seen in national politics. She truly is a joke.

And, demonstrates McCain''''s unfitness to be president. She may have energized the GOP base, but that speaks volumes about the GOP as a party.

It is a party of lunatics & fringe groups.

I know. I really wasn''t looking for fun in picking on Palin. I know she is a dried up has been. However, I''m appalled to think anyone could find hunting and killing baby seals fun.

FromTexwLove,

Don''t even TRY to speak for me. I don''t hate the south. I just think there are too many idiots in it who can''t get over themselves. We would not have been cursed with Bush for 8 years without the south (but not everyone voted that way, just too many people who don''t understand the power of self-reflection).

Unlike you, I view every individual as such...an individual.

You should try it.

I will be so glad when this election is OVER~!
Im so sick of all the back and forth backlashing. To say Barack Obama is NOT a liar is a lie in and of itself. He is willing to send his family member to the wolves. He will raise taxes on us middle class people. It will happen. He says he wont, but he will, mark my words! You are a fool if you believe him. He will, however, win...so now amount of trashing right now is going to matter. The American people are sick of republicans, they dont care why, they are just sick of it, and for that reason alone he will be our first black president.

And some of you Republicans can really say you want this as a Vice President? You''re pathetic.

TORONTO (Reuters) %u2013 U.S. vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin fell prey to a Canadian prankster on Saturday when he called her impersonating French President Nicolas Sarkozy and got her to accept an invitation to hunt baby seals.

In an over-the-top French accent, a member of the Quebec comedy duo "The Masked Avengers," famous for tricking celebrities and politicians including Sarkozy himself, asked if Palin would take him on a hunting trip by helicopter, and then in French said they could also go kill baby seals.

An apparently oblivious Palin said she thought that would be fun. "We could have a lot of fun together as we''re getting work done. We could kill two birds with one stone that way."

They people who are doing this kind of stuff should be hunted and thrown in jail. If they have voted remove there vote they should be treated as enemies of the state. Send them to gitmo, I don''t have a problem with that either.

Telling someone there are two voting days is against the law and should be treated as such.

doctor_coo1,

For the love of future generations, I hope Americans JUST SAY NO to your type of politicking. We deserve to give future generations a hope that political campaigns will be about the issues instead of fearing and smearing.

America, JUST SAY NO to GUTTER POLITICS!!!!!!!

Let''''s review his platform:

No American Oil.

No American nuclear power plants.
No American free trade agreement.
No more 22nd Amendment to U.S. Constitution.*
*Obama: President for Life.

VOTE: McCain/Palin 2008
LIVE FREE OR DIE.

You want to talk about dirty politics? That is what a Palin campaign will look like and be in the future. However, if Obama wins it will be a repudiation [as some have already said] of the Rovian style of slash and burn political campaigning. I''ve watched him since the bush/Ann Richards campaign for Governor and he has left a string of candidates with ruined political careers because of his lies. Hopefully Americans have woken up to this kind of divisive politics and never support it again.

Palin would do well to remember this but in her backwards way of thinking she believes this is the only way to win a campaign...it''s worked for neocons in the past....I say never again.

Obama ran a campaign the Liberal Democrats can be proud of...he attacked the neocon policies and tweaked their nose but left the rabid personal attacks out unlike Palin and McCain.

McCain is a disgusting liar and we have already spent eight years of that under bush...why would we want more of the same?

I suspect much of this story is made up and that is very disturbing. Every election these stories appear, but I am not certain they are even real. There are many holes, the largest of which is it is always pointed at one political party. The facts are the other side has been doing massive things that are simply wrong and not one word about them. CBS news, I wish I could trust your reporting, but I simply do not.

The one common thread to all the smears in the article: They were done to supress Democratic votes. Says a lot about the GOP.....

"Yeah right, your hatred of me and the people of my country is absurd. AGAIN, seek help for it! You desperately need it.

You are so blind. I have tried several times to find a common ground with you, but it is impossible. You are the one not willing to budge. You are the one not willing acknowledge when you are wrong.

Let''s get this correct. I hate no McCain supporter. I just think you guys are fools. I feel sorry for you.
