McCain, Clinton and Race

USMarine
So you are anti-socialist. Congrats to you.
I presume that means you are ONLY anti-socialist about Obama's programs to provide free education to returning vets of Iraq war, to provide affordable income based college education to all Americans, to provide affordable income based health care to all Americans, but you are supportive of the Bush regime which just gave $100 billion to bail out the investment banks who bet too much on bad bets in the real estate market.
Of course they were amateurs who were allowed into the deep water by McCain's financial advisor, the lobbyist for the United Bank of Scotland. The UBS just advised their employees not to visit the USA because they may be arrested on fraud charges arising from their predatory lending practices. You are fine with giving $100 billion to the investment banks, right? Just nothing to returning vets, like Bush says, he is going to veto the new GI bill. He is against the GI Bill for Iraq war vets because he fears that the folks in uniform will not reenlist if they can get a home loan and 4 years of college.

Way to go there, you anti-socialist. I hope you are proud that you are keeping up on your right wing slogans.

Well Special, hate to burst your bubble, but we have been in the middle east for a long time. Gas prices have risen $1.50 a gallon since November of 2006. Can't change the facts babe...

Irish Gal: Oh Yeah!! I forgot, our little adventure into the middle east has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with those gas prices! It's all Pelosi's fault. Thanks so much for clearing that up.

Of course if you ask Ferraro, Obama is only the nominee BECAUSE he is black. You know, like all those other black presidential nominees we've had in the past. Same old same old, right guys? Am I right?

When questioned earlier in the campaign:

QUESTION: Would you be willing to meet separately, without precondition, during the first year of your administration, with the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea?

OBAMA: "I would.

And who said Obama has a consistent policy? Who indeed! Surely somebody who doesn't pay attention.

Gnat;

Some, like gnats, know what the pieces are while others know the game.

Checkmate!

This is major news in the rest of the world but doesn't seem to be to McCain or Clinton.

If Clinton had clinched the nomination last night, can we imagine either Obama or McCain not mentioning it as an historical event?

Geesh, give him a break. We've learned that any white person who mentions Obama's ethnicity is a racist. Now the media is critical because McCain and Clinton aren't pointing out the obvious in regards to Obama. I'd say Clinton has learned the hard way and McCain has been paying attention.

Good comment Irish Gal;

After 34 years as a Democrat, I changed my affiliation to "independent."

The most significant of the gas/energy price hikes have taken place since the Pelosi-Reid-Dean regime took power in Congress.

If Obama is added to the equation, prices and taxes will skyrocket to astronomical levels in an even shorter time.

The Great Depression will pale in comparison to an Obama Society.

Huh- so you obama cult followers think that after obama encouraged his followers to trash Hillary Clinton in some of the most demeaning, profane and ugly ways, she should start singing praises for him huh? Not only has obama encouraged and Never discouraged his Internet blogger supporters to spew hate continuously for the past 5 months, he hasn't apologized to Clinton for the latest remarks made by a Catholic priest from the pulpit of obama's (yes we know - he has departed Ha Ha Ha) church.
Sure he needs clinton right now because he can't win the election without her. Now he is making sweet noises and being so concilliatory. I hope she does to him what he did to her after the ABC debate where she stomped his butt - the next day he gave her his "magical middle finger" and you obama supporters screamed and shouted and applauded him to no end.
No don't expect anything from Clinton for obama - she has so much more class in her little pinkie than this hypocritical, arrogant, self-serving person ever will have if he lives to be 10000 years old. To obama from Clinton - I say say screw you obama like to have tried to screw Clinton. You'll never get my vote bucko - If Clinton is not on the ballot, I vote McCain. This is my and millions of Clinton's power over the hating obama followers - you'll never get our votes.

What's with the historic moment stuff. It's a big big big deal if you have lived your life through the prism of race. I have not. He's just another left wing liberal who will more than likely lose the election. People really need to move on. I thought it no big deal that Pelosi became the Speaker. Neither one of these issues have helped our nation or will help our nation. Last time I checked, gas has gone up $1.50 a gallon since Madam became Speaker. Can't imagine how much more it will go up if BO is President.

Eddie Allen,

Earth to Eddie...Earth to Eddie...

If you don't think Barack Hussein Obama will raise your taxes as President, you haven't been paying attention to Obama speeches and you don't understand the past history of how Democrat majorities perform in American government.

The only ones inventing anything about Obama/Democrat tax increases are those who say it won't happen.

If you consider just a fragment of what Obama has promised in government programs, and you can understand that these programs will cost money, then you can understand that Obama would raise your taxes significantly...and everyone else's.

By the way, this isn't a caucus, so Obama supporters can't intimidate taxes for anyone here on the blogs.

Just listen to your messiah's speeches on how he would raise taxes.

Obama will raise taxes.

Both mine and yours.

I'm AA, I appreciated Sen. McCain's comments because Barack Obama won b/c of his political skill and good luck. You always need both. I honor the historic momment; but it is not something to critize if the opposing candidate does not mention it IMO.

I say this as an Obama supporter.

Jayhawk, just because you invent garbage doesn't make it true. If I could raise YOUR taxes, just yours, I'd do it.

Jayhawk's got it....hike your taxes, lose your house, pay for those who can never take care of themselves and rely on the system.....Obama's future for Americans. Great plan in this economy....raising taxes would be catastrophic with our economy now.

SO now it's OK to call him African-American after all the times he/his campaign called out anyone who referred to his race? Oh the confusion!

Wait - I get it. Have cake, eat it.

More than just raise taxes. In his speech last night, Barack Obama claimed it is past time that the federal government takes the profits of private oil companies and spends it as he sees fit.

When is that ever a role of the national government? Never.

Welcome to the U.S.S.A All Hail Obama!

I thought Obama was gracious in his comments last night. I wish the bloggers had even a smidge of that! While McCain and Clinton couldn't muster up much nicety, Condoleeza Rice seemed to find words: "The United States of America is an extraordinary country," she said. "It is a country that has overcome many, many, now years, decades, actually a couple of centuries of trying to make good on its principles. And I think what we are seeing is an extraordinary expression of the fact that 'We the people' is beginning to mean all of us." I don't agree with her policies, but that was classy.

What is the new Michelle Obama video with Farrakhan???

Know this...

The plan for an Obama administration is to raise taxes, raise taxes, and raise taxes.

The Obama plan to fix Social Security---raise taxes.

The Obama plan to fix Medicare---raise taxes.

The Obama plan to provide prescription drugs---raise taxes.

The Obama plan for reduced cost of college---raise taxes.

And if that doesn't work, Obama will raise taxes again, and again, and again.

If you think gasoline and energy prices are putting a drain on your personal taxes, just wait till the Obama tax plans take effect.

The tax man cometh...and his name is Barack Hussein Obama...
