Yeah, in a post 9-11 world it bothers me that a US president has terrorist
friends.
stupid people 2 | 2:44 p.m. Oct. 8, 2008
The education system in this country has been allowed to deterioriate to the
point that most first year college entrants are required to take remedial
courses just to avoid flunking out. This has been allowed to happen in part
because ignorant voters are easier to lie to and manipulate. One party in
particular stands to benefit from a majority of illiterate voters. There is one
party that: 1)repeatedly stated the Iraq was was lost, and called for immediate
withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, 2)is willing to allow the economy to tank in
order to persuade the voters to elect their candidates, 3) feel the last two
presidential elections have been stolen from them, 4)whose causes are
unfailingly supported by the American Civil Liberties Union and main stream
media, and 5)repeatedly show themselves to be hypocritical on many supposedly
progressive social issues.
The worst of the dilemma is that for the last 8 years the other party has governed so poorly as to allow the upcoming election to be easy pickings.
The future of our republic is in doubt.

You mean fellow senators? Yes, I would agree with that. Some of them are pretty unsavory.

Why Nobama lover? | 2:51 p.m. Oct. 8, 2008
Besides Obama's questionable affiliation with Ayers, Rev Wright, Father
Flager, et al, would you vote for a guy that will:
- raise your taxes?
- put world governments above the US?
- not protect the unborn?
- increase govn't spending?
- increase energy prices?
- not stop the illegal invasion?

All I can do is surmise that you Nobama lovers are first time voters.
I've already lived through a Nobama presidency.
Google Jimmy Carter. Take a gander at his remarkable presidency. That's what we're in for with a Pres Nobama.

American standards in absolutely everything is in the tank. There is little
integrity--look at Wall Street. There are no honest brokers of information--look
at the media. There is little morality--look at the cases of identity theft,
financial fraud, business scams, abortions (note I did not say "unwanted
pregnancies"--I said abortions). And look at the quality of candidate
America has produced through the Presidential campaign process over the recent
past: Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, Al Gore, John Kerry, Barack Obama,
and John McCain. These guys would not stand out in my High School graduating
class--how in the world did they get so far in public life?? I suppose the day
of truly great leaders that can proudly represent all of America is long gone .
. . Isn't it wonderful that we Americans are left to vote for the least of
two evils?

I don't care how bad people think McCain is. Why isn't anyone paying attention to the terrorist ties that Obama has. How he removed the flag from his airplane and replaced it with a symbol. Also, why doesn't he put his hand over his heart when the flag is being presented.
Scary if you ask me. He's CLEARLY NOT THE MAN for the White House.
I never ceseases to amaze me, how people can be tricked into believing outright lies. Do you honestly think he would even be allowed to run for senate let alone president if he were, or had terrorist ties? Why Bush has no terrorist ties at all...wait, what?
Oh, if you have ties to terrorists that have ties to oil, it's OK...
I guess you better start digging your bunker now. Superdell might have room for you with him.

The Truth....? | 3:29 p.m. Oct. 8, 2008
You have heard the question: How can you tell if a politician is not telling
the truth? (Lips are moving)
It appears the bigger the lie, the easier the sale. Obama has this perfected and it really troubles me.
I wonder if we will ever be able to work together in Wash. D.C....So many "politicians" and so few leaders....

Today, the secret service announced that it will be attempting to find the
individual at the Palin rally who shouted "kill him" when Palin
mentioned Obama. McCain/Palin have taken American politics in the modern age to
a new low. They have nothing to stand on when it comes to issues, so they are
attempting scare and hate tactics. They say that a man's true character
comes out when the chips are down, when he's losing, when he's behind.
At that time a man decides who he really is and what he stands for, regardless
of the outcome. McCain has shown that he has no character. It's now time
for Utah Republicans to live up to the high standard that they claim, that they
preach. If they're willing to support a man like John McCain who has led
the most despicable presidential campaign in modern history, then it says a lot
about the people of Utah. And what it say is that they'll do anything to
win. Shame on you.

hey you are starting to move towards actually talking policy. Do you care to
provide sources showing Obama making statements supporting any of the things you
claim or do you really not want to move beyond simple rhetoric? Lets start with
an easy one, what is your supporting evidence that Obama wants to raise our
energy prices? What is McCain�s plan and how will it help
reduce the cost? Actual policy's not just more of your rhetoric please.
Let�s try to elevate the conversation a little to actually
talking policy positions.
BYU & Harvard | 4:12 p.m. Oct. 8, 2008
Mitt Romney has both BYU and Harvard degrees, but McCain skipped economics and
management genius Mitt in favor of Sarah Palin?
Barack Obama has Columbia and Harvard degrees, and was a professor at University of Chicago. At Harvard, Obama was elected president of the Law Review, which any lawyer will tell you is the ultimate achievment in law school.
John McCain was fifth from the BOTTOM of his class at Annapolis. Sarah Palin went to five different community colleges before finally graduating.
After 8 years of dum dum Bush, maybe someone smart for a change?

Sure you can handle a discussion on policy?
Here's a few things to consider for the discussion.
1. Barack Obama�s foreign policy is dangerous, na�ve, and betrays a profound misreading of history. Barack Obama�s stance toward Iran is as troubling as it is dangerous. Maintains that he would negotiate with Iran, �without preconditions,� and within his first
year of office
2. Barack Obama�s Iraq policy will hand al-Qaeda a victory and undercut our entire
position in the Middle East, while at the same time put a huge source of oil in the
hands of terrorists.
3. Barack Obama has sent mixed, confusing, and inconsistent messages on his
policy toward Israel.
4. Barack Obama consistently
campaigned against NAFTA, but has now changed his tune, as he has with other
issues.
5. Barack Obama�s judgment about personal and professional affiliations is more
than troubling.
6. Obama is simply out of step with how terrorists should be handled; he would
turn back the clock on how we fight terrorism, using the failed strategy of the
1990s as opposed to the post-9/11 strategy that has kept us safe.
8. Barack Obama opposes drilling on and offshore to reduce gas and oil prices.

Joe Sixpack,
For goodness sakes, Obama salutes the flag and says the pledge! If you believe everything about Obama that you read in chain emails from your uncle Cletus, you've drunk one six-pack too many, my friend.
Also,
Notice how paranoid rightwingers say "association with terrorists," plural, when all they got is that Obama served on the same board with Ayers 40 years after the Weather Underground. He's certainly not taking foreign policy advice from Ayers. McCain, on the other hand, not only "associates" with lunatics like Phil Gramm, he brings them on board as advisors. Palin not only "associates" with the anti-American Alaska Independence Party, she speaks at their conventions.
Get used to it, folks. President Obama. I personally can't wait.

Not being an Obama Supporter, or holding as valid anything he may say. I did not
watch the Debate. The few moments I caught and the headlines from Fox, really,
really scared me. I did two good post on the matter but both got kicked most
likely on topic. So I will put them on the Hard Boards. Like Topix.
I would one day like to Vote for someone, not against someone. Or pick the lesser of two evils.
Obama may have finally caught up with himself, we have to see.
I don't think Obama really has a plan, other then the Socialist Society he loves so much.
America will still be the best place to live regardless of weather he wins or not. I do think that there will be a serious move to change term limit laws, as we will not be able to do with out him.
I am just hoping for most of America to have a Massive Reality moment in the booth on election day.
Something needs to break his spell and hold he has over many people.

As hard as it may have been for both Sarah Palin's ardent fans and acid
foes to accept, this was a debate that had nothing to do with Alaska, lipstick
on pigs, a purported media conspiracy or the questionable moral superiority of
small-town life.
At a time when the world economy is teetering on the brink of the abyss, both Obama and McCain rose to the occasion with a serious -- if sometimes ill-focused -- debate that reflected the enormity of the crisis. Obama got it right early in the evening when he flickered away a McCain critique by saying to an audience member, "You're not interested in hearing politicians pointing fingers." What is difficult to determine is how swing voters will react in going from watching this sober Nashville town meeting to being subjected to the impossible-to-justify exaggerations and distortions of the campaign ads on TV. Maybe, just maybe, yet another frightening drop in the Dow will have proven enough to raise the tenor of what was fast becoming a down-and-dirty campaign.

In 2000, McCain said, "I just have to rely on the good judgment of the
voters not to buy into these negative attack ads. Sooner or later, people are
going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don't have
much of a vision for the future or you're not ready to articulate
it."
So what is McCain doing? You guessed it. Running a totally negative campaign.
LOL!

have to assume you just want to keep up the rhetoric since I see no supporting

true.

Let's have the gov't but the houses at a loss, and charge the tax payers...on top of the bailout. McCain? No thanks.

I have news for you. If you think our country will be better off in four years under an Obama, Pelosi, Reed government you are sadly mistaken. After they have given the nation a �New, New Deal,� there won�t be much left in America.
Under this New Deal:
More companies will move more jobs outside of the U.S.
Unemployment will be 14%+
Gas will become $6.50+ a gallon because there is no plan to produce more.
The Dow will drop to below 7,500 erasing most people�s chance to retire. Ever.
The dollar will be worth half what it is today and countries will �unpeg,� leaving us unable to pay our debts.
Social Security will be either nonexistent or completely crippling to taxpayers.
There will be another terrorist attack on a U.S. city.
Welcome to the new America. Thanks to the Bush Haters who vote Obama. Change we can believe in. Welcome to the depression of 2009. Good luck Bush Haters.

Really, pure entertainment. John McCain could BOMB Utah (like he wants to

the smoke to vote McCain/Palin, declare that the democrats did it, and pronounce
Obama the "terrorist".
The typical comedy of errors. You've got people all over this board who are really ignorant enough to think Obama is a terrorist, and who act amazed that the rest of civilized America doesn't blame the democrats for all the damage the Repubs have done over the last 8 years! It's hilarious. The egocentrism, the ignorance, the abject undereducatedness it all betrays is HILARIOUS. The smart people on this board are right, McCain is losing this battle, and the fact is Obama will win.
Whether or not a bunch of freaked out right-wing whack jobs think he's a terrorist isn't going to stop him from winning. Newsflash: Ignorance is FEAR. Obama lovers are not afraid, because they are not ignorant. You'd better be taking your teddy bears to bed with you tonight, all you "nobama-hating" characters. You sure are going to need the comfort!

Pelosi, Dodd, Frank, Reid, Boxer, Feinstein, Leahy, Moynihan - for every "Bush," the Democrats seem to have 5 of their own!

You think the Social Security Administration is working well? Really? Both
parties admit it can't be sustained, but no one can figure out how to fix
it.
I'm very frustrated with both parties and candidates.

Re: More False Accusations | 7:29 p.m. Oct. 8, 2008
Todd Palin was a registered member of the AIP until 2002, Sarah attended two of
their conventions, and she taped an address to them last year in which she
praised them for the part they play in Alaskan politics. This has been
verified. Just imagine what would happen if Jill Biden (or even better,
Michelle Obama) had belonged to an organization that wanted to secede from the
Union.
Reading these posts, I'm extremely grateful that Utah doesn't matter in presidential elections. I shudder to think what would come out of John McCain's mouth if he had to cater to you people...

2 years? | 7:40 p.m. Oct. 8, 2008
Dems get two years in the Senate and that's all? The last 26 of 28
don't count? What a joke. There's so much wrong with the statement
it's hard to know where to begin.
Obama, Marxist? Honestly, where do you people get this stuff? That's a pretty big word for such a small mind.
This country is headed for hard times no matter who gets chosen to be president. Facts are, we're in a mess. I want to have some retirement fund left. I want to have some medicaire available if needed. I distrust the policies of the Republicans and George Bush. Nothing McCain says makes me believe he is any different or is a man of any character at all.

McCain equals Pain. | 8:16 p.m. Oct. 8, 2008
McCain stated clearly that he knows how to get Bin-Laden and therefore where he
is and when he is President he will go get him. So why
doesn�t he tell the rest of us this secret so we can go and
get him now?? And all of this scare tactics that he is doing by saying that
Obama is a terrorist is exactly the same as the scare tactics used by dictators
and idiots.
Remember the saying of Reds under the Beds that was meant to scare us all years ago. And everyone bad was a COMMIE!!! McCain literally lives in the past and has a John Wayne movie attitude of shoot first ask questions later.

so I think it is humorous that when I ask people to back up their rhetoric with
evidence (twice) they disappear into the wood work. Unfortunately I have a life
and cannot wait all night so I will have to conclude it is just more of the same
old hot air.

Until the right wingers on this board drastically improve their spelling skills,
I'm going to have a hard time taking their political arguments
seriously.

Obama the Terrorist? | 9:03 p.m. Oct. 8, 2008
So Palin's ties with the Alaskan secessionist movement are somehow less
controversial than Obama's work with a crazy hippie on a charity board?
Wow! Also, the only candidate in this entire race without a "crazy
pastor" in the closet is Joe Biden--because he's catholic. Anybody
hear of Palin's pastor who once saved an african village from a local
witch? No that's scary!

And I agree with the earlier post calling for the arrest of CHRIS DODD and BARNEY FRANK. They took Freddie and Fannie money and did NOT do their jobs as chairs of the Banking commission.
Good grief, the Democrats ran our country into the ground in just 2 years and you want give them the henhouse? Blame it on Bush? Don't you understand what a "lame duck" president is?
We ARE in trouble! Not enough intelligent life left in our country!
