Now if he wants to point out how the neo-Marxist Barak Nobama is nothing more than Jimah Carter in black face....I would agree.

No matter what Mc Same will try to do, the American people see how when we are in trouble as a nation,all he has to do is attack, lie, and try to destroy, he has not showed one thing to help this country, only ways to stab, and try to get elected at all cost, when he tries to destroy. He is a man who has lost all integrity, and is not fit to be our president,Palin was a big mistake, and proves what kind of decisions he would make. His decisions in this campaign has been wrong on every issue. The gual of the man starts repeating Obamas mantra of Change , He is a angry old man

For the first time, I really feel scared about the future. These people are like the Germans in the election of 1933. They know what''s coming but they don''t care. Back then, all they cared about was that Hitler was going to give them a job and keep their lunch pails full. And stick it to the Jews. And restore Germany''s "rightful place" in the world. They knew full well that Hitler would destroy the independent unions, crack down on dissent, and turn Germany from a very free country into a fascist dictatorship.

Part of this is McCain''s fault. He bought into that populist *** about greedy Wall Street. Well, so as ye sow, so shall ye reap. And we''re about to reap the whirlwind.

In this kind of atmosphere any kind of a government is possible. And I don''t know if Obama can resist the kind of raw power these nincompoops are willing to give him. Who could?

You need a license to own a dog but any fool can vote.

Most folks using the term Socialism don''t really even know what that means. They are simply parroting a word they heard used elsewhere.

Good story, but you''re only telling half of it. My Father in law and his crowd are in their late 80''s and early 90''s and they remember the Depression and see Bush and McCain as modern day Hoovers. They are all for Obama to try to turn the country around. Everywhere you look it''s bad news for the Republicans.

My father is 81. My mother is 74. They wouldn''t even CONSIDER voting for McCain. They sum it up like this: "You''ve got to be blind, dumb or insane to vote for McCain."

They''ve been around a lot longer than me, and have seen countless Administrations..they liken Bush to Nixon...both power hungry and incompetent they say..

I think they are on to something..I too am voting for Obama!

ACORN certainly does seem to have overstept it''s bounds. BTW do you recall a plenary speaker at ACORN''s 2/06 convention was?? Uh Huh!! John McCain.

A democratic presidency is going to crash the economy.

How can that be? The Republican George W. Bush has already done that. The Democrats will have to clean up his mess.

Never in my post did I say I agreed with Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell and their hate messages.

Posted by spotter444

So why not say Obama''s preacher, Falwell and Robertson all agreed on the cause of 9/11. That would be truth, whole truth etc. You guys are so good about leaving the "whole truth" out of the old saying.

Yes, this is all Barney Frank''s fault. Barney Frank, Captain Kangaroo, and Wonder Dog are all at fault. I think any conservative Republican could agree.

Nearly all of Obama''''s appeal requires his supporters to take on faith that he will do things he has never done. But on the question of whether Obama will ever take a meaningful stand against corruption or waste in his own party or stand up to vested interests and ideological extremists on his own side, we already know the answer: Obama is so thoroughly marinated in extremism and corruption that it would be nearly impossibe to extricate himself and still have a meaningful identity left.

You will often hear Obama''''s defenders argue that his ties to this or that extremist or corrupt figure is an isolated aberration, an example of "guilt by association"; that the various favors he dispensed with public money and private charitable foundation funds are nothing unusual in politics.

But when you look at Obama''''s record and biography taken together, what you see is that the favors, the extremists and the machine ties are all inextricably intertwined, and that far from being isolated incidents, Obama''''s modus operandi of mutual back-scratching with radicals and crooks extends to nearly every aspect of his life and career - his family, his faith, his home, his jobs and education, his significant election victories and legislative "accomplishments," his closest advisors and most important mentors, the money and organization that made up his campaigns.

You''ve been watching the McPain/Falin performances as well. I thought they reminded me of someone. Thanks for pointing out the similarities.

The week after 9/11 those two intellectual dwarfs Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell were also saying that the uS deserved to ba attacked because of the immoral attitudes toward g*a*y*s. Of course hypocrits such as yourself tend to overlook them.

A democratic presidency is going to crash the economy. All of the corporations are not going to give Obama their money on a silver platter. Nor should they. Instead you will see a mass migration offshore like you have never seen before. Additionally, major corporations will have to take their profits from the only thing left. That is the stock holders. McCain won''t win for one reason and one reason only. Obama has offered 95% of tax payers a bribe to vote for him. This has nothing to do with a tax break. It''s a check, it''s not a credit. So, enjoy that windfall, if you actually get it. I give it less than a 40% chance that it will actually happen. But, boy, it sure sounds good. Also a special message for the middle class. Enjoy the manipulations to get their hands on the rest of your money that you aren''t forced to give away right now. For all you church goers enjoy people taking away from them also. Church doctrine and the bible don''t allow for same *** marriage. So, one thing that is going to happen is that the church groups may very well lose their non-profit status if they don''t embrace the new America. After all it would be another great windfall for the Democrats if they could get away with taxing the church. I''ve always considered myself a patriot. I fought in a war, paid my taxes and worked with runaways in my spare time. I feel so sorry for this country and am astonished how we have allowed a very few people to ruin it.

"We are retired and lost a lot of money, in the stock market, because of the bail-out. This was done by Barney Frank and it started in the 90''''s by him and his boyfriend"

What a MORONIC conclusion - jeez! Talk about an idiot!

Older people tend to be more conservative, it''s their nature. To see a swing like this, you know they are seeing signs they''ve either seen before, or heard from their parents. Republicans, this election is lost; you best learn a lesson from what''s occurred and try much harder to gain this voting bloc back. Democrats, you have a gift this election; either earn their continued support, or risk losing them back to the Republicans next election. This group is going to grow in number very fast over the next 10 years; enough to turn an election in a hard fought battle. Both parties have an opportunity here, what are you going to do?
