Political Punch

I don't understand something here. McCain keeps on pushing the point of "we don't want one-party rule" which he claims you will get if Sen Obama is elected (i.e. Obama/Pelosi/Reid). That's really a bad thing, you think?
I seem to recall that that's exactly what this country had under Bush from 2001 until the midterm elections of 2006; how come that didn't bother anyone? What am I missing here? Please someone tell me.......HOW DOES MCCAIN'S ARGUMENT HOLD WATER ESPECIALLY WHEN HE WAS A PART OF THE "ONE PARTY RULE" WHICH HE NOW ABHORS? I'd like someone to explain that to me in a rational succint manner. Denzel Washington said it best when he used the following line in the movie "Philadelphia".....please explain it to me like I'm a four year old.

A Pelosi-Obama-Reid hydra spells just one thing: POR!

POR is what we'll be if we let these three run the government, for they will tax us into socialism. A study on countries that went from free-market to socialism found their GDP typically declined 40%.

Anybody here want to take a 40% pay cut?

That's what will happen under POR!

Lucky for us, McCain never could decide on a message as to why he should be the next president.

Eight days out after a circus like campaign, are we to give credence to his fear all-dems government? That's his best reason!?

He's the candidate who has cried wolf more than the little boy--my guess is few are listening. But yes, it's not over til it's over.

One side sounds like the side who has been fed lies and that is the Mc Cain side about their opponent Obama. if your leadersare willing to feed you lie after lie and not even be in office yet then they are the shady characters who we should be looking into. Palin already corrupt and found guilty of abuse of power. Mc Cain already treid for bribes and inappropriate behavior with a person that stole money from peoples retirements. Lies about their opponent daily and in the face of questioners verify their belief in the lies. Mc Cain and Palin are dabgerous people who have been proven to be so and that is the difference. One has experience in being caught in inproper act and his VP and one is just speculation coming from the person who got caught doing improper things. You figure it out. Mc Cain and Palin who where both INVESTIGATED for improper and shady things or Obama who they accuse of things. Those things we still dont have clear understanding of what exactly they are. Just fuzzy uneasy feelings and whispers but no actual case to make specific why you fear him and no actual sane reason or record just the word of proven liars and investigated morally questionable characters like Palin and Mc Cain to go on as the basis for these fears.

I am quoting from Obama's book: "I will stand with the Muslims when the winds of politics change."

This is for the person who commented "Vote for Obama for my grandkids." I pray your grandchildren are not Jewish.

Jon,

How about actually changing things, rather than just changing ideologies?!

Your method just means we get one group of inflated egos after another. Obama says it's eight years of gridlock and seems to forget that Repubs controlled Congress for six, which is no gridlock, and that the Demos control it now. He has such a short memory for a young man. But then again, no one actually cares what Obama says and he looks good.

If we have it your way, RePO is the next round of inflated egos.

Chicago

Jon S, Cincinnati, Ohio

if the Dems are 'running the show', and, they blow it......... I will vote someone else in.

The Repubs had their chance, that's why they are about to get the boot. Everyone of you bought into W's and the rest 'pipe-dream', hook, line and sinker...
Republicans bait folks like you with a pix of the American flag and a lot of empty talk about 'honor'... Repubs speak of a mythological America that doesn't exist ... honor is something Repubs seem to always be lacking when it comes time to display it. You only need look and see how the repubs and conservatives are killin' each other in the blame game.

The difference between you and me is that I don't blindly adhere to Dems or Repubs policy, and I don't blindly salute the flag because a politician says to do it. I actually ask questions and don't claim to have 'god and country' on my side as repubs do..... and I am willing to at least try someone and something different without the fear Republicans generate.

Neither party is perfect, but, when one ie. Republicans have led America so astray and blundered so profoundly on the world stage, they have to be held accountable for what they said and what they did. That's Bush, Cheney et.al, advisers and sycophants.

Obama - The tax man cometh; the tax man taketh away.

For all his speeches...Obama will raise your taxes, and raise taxes on capital gains, so if you have a personal portfolio of stocks in your retirement account, you will pay 20% to Obama, lol.

Also he wants to tax home sales, and re-institute the death tax.

He wants to let the Bush Tax cuts expire, which will raise your taxes.

How about we should talk to our enemies, Like that worked really well in the past.

I think we scared them off!!!!!

where do I go next . . . I do like a good argument . . . Any suggestions? . . . .

I can see that also . . . God's got to have a great since of homor . . . .

Looks like we are the only two here. Which one should we go to and see if we can rouse some people up with the truth.

though I don't think God was a total belief of his I can see him doing his routine in front of God telling him what is wrong in heaven. LOL

I do too. George definately had a unique grasp of the reality of things. He was able to see past the smokescreen and see the obvious. Then he managed to make it humorous while sending a message that not enoough people listened to.

I truely miss brother George!!!!!!

After all what's a house but a place for more stuff . . . .

There were two shows I watched and would recommend to all that they see.
Frontline: The secret history of the credit card
In Debt We Trust before the bubble bursts.
Excellant way to know some of why we are where we are at today.
To quote George Carlin
Too many people buying stuff they don't need with money they don't have.

Aye Aye Captain . . . And same to you . . . I'll be standing watch beside you looking for blue sky ! ! ! ! ! !

hungry bellies always brings people together for a change. I have a feeling it isn't just going to be rough seas, more like the perfect storm.

Good Luck mate

I pray that we can weather this storm . . . History has proven that this Nation is great . . . She rises when others count her out . . . Her people rise to new levels when looking into the face of great adversity . . . She succeeds when others can’t . . . I too love this country for of her faults . . . And I will defend her to my dying breath . . . .

However, I also feel that all American’s need to make their voices heard against bad, corrupt government . . . Perhaps a world-wide, financial collapse will bring people to a point of anger great enough to make our politicians deathly aware of our resolve . . . It’s time to make a stand – but unfortunately I don’t think most people recognize the challenges set out before us . . . .

Batton down the hatches it's gonna get rough seas . . . .
