[steeepe]

My name? Ayers, what of it?
People claim that I am acquainted with Barack Hussein Obama, so what. So what that I was a terrorist in the 70''''s that even now I wish we had done more bombings, so what. People know I am close to Obama, so what. People know I help Obama get started as a government politician so what. You mean to tell me if possible a terrorist cannot run for president, so what?
Im Barack Hussein Obama, and I approved this message.

Ayers is a college professor, so he must not be wanted by the FBI. Obama is not a terrorist. If you think he is, you don''t know how to think!

''''That''''s right!! And if you don''''''''t like the truth, then don''''''''t buy it, either.''''

Ya can''''t pass gas onto the consumer. This is consumer politics. Not the politics of citizenship.

Can''t argue with that. An awful lot of "political consumers" have bought the republican "gas" around tax cuts in recent decades. We''ve climbed out of debt a couple of times because of it. And not our children are gonna have the pleasure of doing it again.
We ain''t seen "citizenship politics" on some time.

If you don''''t like gas, don''''t buy it.

Whats the argument that we got something to do with global warming? So what? Is there global warming or isn''''t there?

Posted by donnie7992
---------------------
The argument wasn''t about global warming, it was about how conservatives will do anything necessary in order to hear ONLY what they want to hear.
Just like the idiot-son did with the pre-war intelligence around Iraq.

Theres a palpable willingness among the GOPers to view ''''expert'''' opinion with suspicion, whether its science or foreign policy, or even intelligence gathering. Ignoring the CIA, the State Department, every other country on earth, etc may help you sleep at night as you invade another country. But it won''''t help the situation, it''''ll make it worse.

The conservatives (religious, culteral, poitical) don''t have any problem at all with "expertise" as long as "expertise" is telling them what they want to hear.
That''s a big problem with these folks. It could be as honest, true, and factual as a school bus, but if they don''t like, they ain''t gonna hear it.
That''s why they went out a bought and paid for the best science they could to tell ''em that man ain''t got nothing to do with global warming.

Obama is raising a family and he values the Family in America. . posted by trishab58

Then why does he he hates the "God, guns, community, and family" folks?

Posted by Trapbreak
-----------------------
This is one of the finest example "when you lay something on somebody else, you really talking about yourself" projection I''ve ever seen on these boards.
If there is any group in this country that does "hate", it''s the "God, guns, community, and family" bunch.

And it ain''t really "God, guns, community, and family" either. It''s really "guns, guns, guns, god, the flag, community (as long as you''re just like us), and family"
And notice that god always comes before the flag with this bunch!!

And Obama doesn''t do hate. The appropriate "feeling" for this bunch is sympathy. That''s what one feels for the sorry.

Its the anti-science platform that bothers me about GOPers. Most everyone wants to maintain a vibrant ecosystem around us, but you really cant if you''re actively lying to yourself about the reality. A perfect example of where this leads is GW Bush. It affects everything he does, whether its taking Katrina seriously, or climate change, stem cell research, western water flows and salmon, etc, etc, etc.

Theres a palpable willingness among the GOPers to view ''expert'' opinion with suspicion, whether its science or foreign policy, or even intelligence gathering. Ignoring the CIA, the State Department, every other country on earth, etc may help you sleep at night as you invade another country. But it won''t help the situation, it''ll make it worse.

Of course, its easy to pick on Bush, he''s been a Cat 5 hurricane catastrophe in almost any direction you want to talk about.

Palin REALLY, SCARILY reminds me of him: like him she''s got that brave and curiously attractive ''''D*MN the torpedoes'' attitude that celebrates her lack of interest in and knowledge of the world around her. You really envy that kind of confidence, until you realize it comes from a place of wilfull ignorance about the way things really are.

It''s a ''dont bother me with the truth'' kind of fortitude that makes others pay for the education THEY were supposed to come to office with.

READ THE NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE, DO WE REALLY WANT MORE OF THE SAME???

"Rick Steiner, a University of Alaska professor, sought the e-mail messages of state scientists who had examined the effect of global warming on polar bears. (Ms. Palin said the scientists had found no ill effects, and she has sued the federal government to block the listing of the bears as endangered.) An administration official told Mr. Steiner that his request would cost $468,784 to process.

When Mr. Steiner finally obtained the e-mail messages %u2014 through a federal records request %u2014 he discovered that state scientists had in fact agreed that the bears were in danger, records show."

Negro-Vote said: "Obama Democrats for you. You cant hire / fire a librarian without a federal investigation. "

Hyperbole doesn''t become you.

In Wasilla, a builder said he complained to Mayor Palin when the city attorney put a stop-work order on his housing project. She responded, he said, by engineering the attorney%u2019s firing.

The Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act is a law prohibiting a form of late-term abortion that the Act calls partial-birth abortion. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the term "partial-birth abortion" in the act pertains to a procedure that is medically called intact dilation and extraction.[2] Under this law, "Any physician who, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both." The law was enacted in 2003, and in 2007 its constitutionality was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, in the case of Gonzales v. Carhart.

An exception to the law is when the health of the mother is at risk. So, that is what you must be complaining about, LOOK____: you would kill the mother to save the fetus.

We''re spending upwards of 10 billion a month on war we were lied into.

HIS MIDDLE NAME IS HUSSIEN!

HE''S FRIENDS WITH BILL AYERS

Unemployment is at an all time high.

Good Gawd....

Negro-Vote said: "American politics follows the "spoils" system. To the victor goes the spoils. That means the newly elected have the right to fire persons appointed by the previous administration "

I don''t think you''ll find many Democratic mayors firing librarians for objecting to the banning of books. Frankly, you wont find many Republican mayors who would do that, either. That''s uniquely vindictive: reminds me of GW Bush.

[ubrew12]

steeepe said: "If you vote for [Republicans], it''s a sign you haven''t learned anything in the last 8 years about the GOP."

Cronyism is the GOP''s operational method. Reading about Palin''s tenure as mayor and governor, she reminds me of no one more than GW Bush.

I can hear her in our future:
"Heck of a Job, Brownie!!"

[steeepe]

Latest headline: "Once Elected, Palin Hired Friends and Lashed Foes". Gee, that sounds just like the rotten Bush administration. Reward incompetent ideologues at the expense of the country ("heckuva job, Brownie"). Palin and McBush are serial liars, and we don''t need more of that in the White House. If you vote for them, it''s a sign you haven''t learned anything in the last 8 years about the GOP.

Spinster2 said: ""partial birth abortion" is a "procedure" and it''s not even the most popular procedure for late term abortion. "

I thought it was only allowed when the mothers life was in danger.

[ubrew12]

Palin, after becoming mayor, asked her town librarian what the procedure was for ''banning books'' from the library.

The librarian complained, saying that that was not in Palins pervue.

Palin fired her.

That''s your VP pick, Republicans. Sounds like Leona Helmsley to me.

Think she''ll leave the nations wealth to the dogs?

[spinster2]

5000 a day babies brains are punctured with a screwdriver and then are sucked out in America? Obama states as a christian its above my pay rate to know abortion murder when I see it!

Im Barack Hussein Obama, and I approved this message.

Frankly, when the republican''s made such a big issue of partial bith abortion, what they didn''t tell you is that "partial birth abortion" is a "procedure" and it''s not even the most popular procedure for late term abortion.

[ubrew12]

Governor Palin claimed state scientists had found no ill effects of global warming on the polar bear population; these findings were in the form of e-mail messages. When a U. of Alaska professor SOUGHT those e-mails, he was told that this would cost him $468,784 in processing fees. Finally, he made a FEDERAL records request for the e-mails and found that state scientists had in fact agreed that the bears were in danger.

Palin is George Bush in lipstick.

[obamaslady]

The fact is that McBUSH KNOWS HE HAS BEEN LYING, BUT HAS SOLD HIS SOUL TO KARL ROVE AND HIS MINIONS IN HIS LAST ATTEMPT TO WIN THIS ELECTION! Afterall, McSame shouldn''t be around for the 2012 election!

[ubrew12]

Speaking of welfare,

did you know Palin''s state gets MORE MONEY from the Federal Government (per tax dollar they send back), than ANY STATE IN THE NATION???

Palin''s state gets FIVE TIMES the amount given to Blue States California or New Jersey. In fact, ALL the Red States are this way. They typically take MORE from the Federal Government than they GIVE by way of taxes, while the BLUE states typically get LESS from the Federal gov''t than they give in taxes.

Makes you wonder... who the REAL welfare queens of America are...
