NO ONE can make a case for Obama without saying "he''s not Bush or McCain." Tell us, o great ones, what is his plan? Wait, let me help you:
(1) He will give free money to the poor. Except.. we don''t HAVE any money to give away! And Congress has to APPROVE it anyway. They won''t.

(2) He will negotiate around the world and make the US so much more respected. How? By giving in to world leaders? We LEAD, we do not follow.

(3) He will help race relations. HOW?

(4) He will rebuild America''s educational system. HOW?

(5) He will give health care to everyone. What about those of us who don''t want gov''t health?

Heres a thought: The savings and loan occurred after 8 year under Reagan and a Republican controlled Senate now we have another crisis in banking after another 8 years of Republican control. I guess it''s time to throw trickle down economics and deregulation out the window. Wake up America!

The headline reads:

Felon voting signs removed from Obama office

Is this the only way Obama has a chance to win the election.

If you wonder how BO plans to win FL, just look at the fraud.

More delusions. Obama in a landslide? More like a mudslide the way the Obama people are slinging it. Listen, we all know this is the only way Obama wins. They must throw mud to obfuscate the facts. Obama is a liar, a flopper, a race-baiter (both white and Latino), a friend of radicals, a part of do-nothing Congress, a product of Chicago politics, a smear merchant, a coward, an elitist.

McCain, on the other hand, is a war hero, a maverick against his own party, a reformer, a respected part of Congress. You can smear about his infidelity, or his choice of Palin over Lieberman, or his supposed record of voting with Bush (it''s more like 74%), etc. But that''s really all you have. In essence, McCain represents MORE CHANGE than Obama. Case closed.

The Obama''s must be planning on "getting the vote out" and stuffing ballot boxes all across the dem precincts good old Chicago style. I can see the nusring homes now, where the comatose sign their absentee ballots with the help of ACORN volunteers!

IValerius: Here''s my prediction. Obama wins by landslide. In 4 years he wins in another landslide. In 8 years he is a national hero.

lsageinaz - I expect your kind of response. It is a tittering behind a tree, designed to defuse any serious message. Gone are the days of William F. Buckley, David Susskind, and true scholars who would disembowel Obama analytically. Today, we are treated to the likes of Olbermann, Maddow, Larry King, Wolf Blitzer, Charlie Rose. And the hallucinations persist not in me, but in the youth of today, blind with rage against an administration, which is natural, but also against anyone from a party, which is not natural or pure. The Democrats (as the Republicans) have all sorts of responsibility for the economic mess we''re in. However, whereas Republicans will share the blame, the Democrats do not seem willing. Nowhere does Chris Dodd take any blame for his role in the housing crisis, yet he is in control of the committee and is first in line for handouts from the industry. Obama was second in line in his short stay there. No one complains that Obama took the money, took the house from Rezko, now a felon in jail. No one cares that he claims to have started legislation for reform (which is false) and htat he claims McCain did nothing (FALSE- look in 2003 and 2005 - CHECK THE FACTS!). I wish your rage could dissipate for the short time it would take to seek facts and make a disciplined decision.

The Democrats under Nancy Pelosi and her San Francisco values have control of the United States Congress. Since then we have had unending investigations, amnesty for illegals, higher taxes, and gridlock.

McSame? Wow, the man votes for immigration reform so Florida can continue to be inundated with illegals and you say you''re AGAINST him? You LOVED him. And you will regret when Obama gets in and does NOTHING. He will do NOTHING. His advisors will rule the White House, just like you accuse Bush. McCain is his own man. Obama likes to vote Present and let other people take the fall. He takes graft from Fannie/Freddie. Jim Johnson! For goodness sakes, if McCain had him on his side, you''d be all over it! Stop looking at McCain all the time and look at the guy you SUPPORT! I don''t expect you to care about William Ayers because I''m sure you admire him, but how can you claim to like Jim Johnson?? And are you REALLY in love with the influence of Susan Rice. She''s a NUT! The radical side of Condeleeza Rice. If only you weren''t so blind with rage.

My father decided recently to move into a retirement home%u2026He sent me an email last week that read%u2026

%u201C %u2026if this economic crisis causes the income from my retirement plan to drop, I%u2019ll have to move out of the retirement home and into an apartment%u2026All because of that SOB in the white house%u2026%u201D

Seniors citizens should really think about who they are going to vote for this election. While they might identify with the Reganesk nostalgia McCain and Palin are Peddling%u2026Joe Klien is right%u2026That era does not exist any more.

The free-market deregulation economics the Republicans and McCain have put in place over the last twenty years has created the %u201Cworst economic crisis since the Depression%u201D.

John McCain has been for DEREGULATION his entire carrier.

So%u2026If you are concerned about your retirement plan like my father, you should vote for Senator Barack Obama.

Here is my prediction, if Obama wins, 75% of the dummies who vote for him now will deny they voted for him in 4 years, just like Jimmy Carter.

If you ask me, do you want 4 more years of Bush or 4 more years of Jimmy Carter, I''ll pick Bush every time and so would any other objective person.

Complete Republican failure?

What failure? Iraq? Nah, we''re winning there thanks to Bush''s strength of cahracter and despite the Dem''s zealousness to surrender.

Eduacation? Nah, the NCLB Act has improved the educational scores of children all over the country including in many previously failing school districts.

You''ll say the economy, right? Sure, let''s look at the economy and who is really at fault. First, the informed person knows that congress controls the purse strings, that''s the group of people who have done absolutely nothing the last two years since the Dems took over.

The problems with the economy come down to two areas, gas/fuel prices and the credit problems. Both created by Dems.

Obama pays his own female Senate staffers, on average, only 78 percent of what he pays male staffers.

And he preaches equality!

In 2005 John McCain co-sponsored the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005 which called for increased oversight of Fannie and Freddie but Dodd and others killed that idea. McCain''s Address on the floor of the Senate reveals his foresight concerning the looming crisis, saying:

"If Congress does not act, American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system, and the economy as a whole."

Change Is Coming. Change Is Coming. And you''d better get used to it because This Change is certainly Change You Can Believe In.

"In the Illinois State Senate, Senator Obama voted 130 times ''present,''" Clinton said. "That''s not ''yes.'' That''s not ''no.'' That''s ''maybe.''"

Now that''s the kind of person I want in the White House

"ARE YOU STUPID ENOUGH TO VOTE FOR McCAIN/PALIN?"

Let''s see, Obama had 140 days in the Senate and no record of any accomplishments since graduating college, has one position which is to slam someone who isn''t even running, wants to steal from the wealthy with promises to give it to the "middle class", thinks drilling for oil is bad so he proposes doing nothing, wants to create a Marxist state in this country by essentially destroying the constitution, etc., etc., etc.

The other candidate has a REAL record of working with both parties for reform. McCain not only saw the surge would work before anyone else, he also called for reform of Freddie and Fannie years before the current crisis hit.

I think the stupid are the ones falling for the rhetoric and stand-up delivery of Obama. Smart people will look at their records and vote for McCain.
