LOL, well you have a point. Only intelligent, informed, conservatives will get my posts. The lockstep, closed minded Obamunists will continue with blinders on.
Some Q & A with a typical 20 something Obama supporter:
Q: Why are you voting for Obama?
A: Because he is for change.
Q: What change is he for?
A: I don’t know but he’s for change.
Q: Not all change is good you know.
A: Well he will raise taxes on the rich and give me free college tuition and healthcare.
Q: But the problem is most working middle class people are considered “rich” and will have their taxes raised.
A: Well that’s their problem. I want my freebies.
Q: Why else do you want to vote for Obama?
A: Because he’s young and he’s a black guy. We like to stick it to the establishment.
You mean only those willing to swallow every sort of lies and misconceptions which support their limited view of reality, not intelligent informed individuals at all, but narrow minded sheep willing to follow any father figure that comes along.
Why I am an Obama supporter
Thu, 02/15/2007 - 7:51pm — MainlandJ
the republican party is full of a bunch of jokers right now. Sure, Obama is very liberal on a lot of issues, but he’s got to be more conservative than the bozos who were in charge of congress since ‘94 (and who then lost it) on several different issues.
The most obvious is how the republicans have squandered all of our money. Say what you want about Bill Clinton, but at least he did what the republicans never seem to be able to do-- get a balanced budget. It’s hard to believe that Obama will be as dumb as the republicans have been with our nation’s money.
Why I am an Obama supporter
I’m voting for, giving to, and working on Obama’s campaign because I’m fed up with the Christian Far Right of our party. I’m embarrassed by what the Bush administration has done (and not done), The lack of diplomacy with our allies, the neglect of New Orleans two years after the storm, and the hubris and irresponsibility of right wing radio. It’s the first time I’ve voted for a Democrat in my life.
If you are mad we would be
If you are mad we would be mad to agree with you! And surely, Obama is a better Christian than either Romney or McCain- that is the point. And a little political theory for you, too - states should not lurch left or right but a proper co-ordination of the two wings of thought makes for a good effective presidency - Obama is most likely to achieve his co-ordination. If a state were all right wing or all left wing it would topple over.
i think the way mccain left his wife for a younger, richer women is gross. He’s a deadbeat.
McCain was already separated from his first wife before he met his current wife.
Oh. So because he left his wife who waited for him for years while he was playing cowboys and indians in veitnam, before he married a rich tycoon’s daughter, he’s not a deadbeat? He only left her after she got in a bad car accident and gained weight, and it was for a younger richer woman. What a great guy. Good American Values.
McCain’s lack of experience bothers me. He’d be a great man to command some boats in a war, or vote for some pork-barrel spending. But, he’s totally inexperienced—embarrassingly so—on what it’s like to not be rich, white and a Washington insider.
As someone who understands the America of today, he’s very, very inexperienced.

What makes you think he is a “deadbeat” and what do you know about his reasons for his divorce? McCain divorced for much the same reasons a LOT of Vietnam veterans ended up divorced. His marriage endured a lot of stress as a result of their long separation and his difficulty in dealing with his experiences. Are you know suggesting that divorced people are uinfit for public service? If that is the case, you better start doing some house cleaning in your own party.

What possible gounds could you have for that statement? What experience does Obama have in understanding the “America of today” considering he spent his entire childhood outside the United States and came back to this country to attend Ivy League schools and then spent most of his adult life working as a lawyer activist for left wing causes?
It is embarrassing to be white and a career officer in the US Navy? It is embarrassing to be elected to the Senate by your constituents?

If he was running for president 40 years ago, he probably would have been relevant, even if you overlook his failure to understand the culture he represents. Certainly I’d trust him to run a boat in the Pacific, because I’m sure he’s educated about naval warfare. But he appears to know nothing of America today, seeming less savvy than even George W. Bush. He strikes me as common-culture naive, out of touch, and representing no one but the rich white people in his district.
Colin Powell I could get behind, or Westmoreland. But not this guy.

Steve, Steve, Steve. What part of experience do you not get? McCain has served in the Congress for over 23 years. Obama has “served” since 2004, most of this time spent campaigning for president. Senator John Sidney McCain has gravitas in the experince area. Senator Barack Hussein Obama does NOT.

Vote experience. Vote McCain!
It’s OK, lil’ Billy. You’ll understand when you’re old enough to vote. We like to put power in the hands of people who use good judgment and understand the American experience. Being a third-generation military commander is great for war, and representing the powerful and rich is fine—those people have a voice, and it should be heard—but McCain just lacks any part of the actual American experience of having to work for a living.
Trust me, you’ll get it soon. Maybe you can get a summer job at Hardee’s or something, and it’ll give you some idea of the value of a dollar. Hope Sophomore year will be fun!

For the 2009 budget year, which begins Oct. 1, the administration is now projecting a deficit of $482 billion, which would be the highest in dollar terms in history, surpassing the old mark of $413 billion set in 2004. Through July, government revenues total $2.094 trillion, down 1 percent from the same period a year ago. Revenues have been weaker this year, reflecting the sharp slowdown in the overall economy. Government spending so far this budget year totals $2.466 trillion, 8.5 percent higher than a year ago.
keep borrowing money we don’t have ... then increase spending .... that is the republican party of John Sidney McCain !!!!!

He’s not just going for the gold, he’s out to beat his own all-time record. I respect that.
yes, I respect W for never ever pretending to care ...
McCain may have cared during his tenure in the senate, but he is so desparate to get into the white house ... this is his only shot and it is in a year following the Bush debacle so his only chance is to turn himselff over to the republican &^%$$%(%& slime machine and now he will carry the stench of that on him ...
It really is too bad, I respected that he was moderate enough at times to piss off his own party ... now he gets to ride a sinking ship into the sewage his campaign will become ...
I suspect that this campaign is going to turn very, very nasty from the McCain side. Thus far, mudslinging has been their most effective weapon, but I predict that it’ll backfire pretty heavily on them on the General Election.
I do feel bad for him ...here we are in the early days of negative ads ... his follow up shot saying I am jSM and I approve this message ... his dignity is all but gone ...
