McCain Raises the Spectre of a Multi-headed Reid-Pelosi-Obama Hydra Controlling Washington, DC

Hey you forgot the Soylet Green . . . And we all lived hapily ever after . . . .

I think I would definately need salt and pepper for that. Hope there is still some around.

My grandfather was a vegetable farmer during the depression and used the food he grew as a means of paying for doctors or other things they needed. They at least had food to eat. My dad talked abouot growing up through the depression as a kid without much food to eat most of the time.

I love this country also even now with all her faults. All government is to blame, yet so are we for not demanding better than what we have gotten. I try to find something to base a vote on other than what is said by politicans at election time. I see McCain has contributed 25% roughly of his income to charity. Obama from what I heard barely contributed. I believe it shows some character on McCain's part. I still believe in honor and knowing Naval Officers honor is something they believe in. I don't mind negative attacks in politics and am sure if the poll numners were reversed you would see much more negativity on Obama's part. I guess I will go with honor and character and hope he can get somewhere with a democratic congress. I still want checks and balances and figure the democrats will retain their control so we need the opposite in the white house. But I always plan for the worse and hope for the best. We are closer to a depression of major proportions than people realize.

Hey you forgot the Soylet Green . . . And we all lived hapily ever after . . . .

Didn't you know?

Obama will power the world on sunshine and daisies.

We'll all live on solar-powered communes with free-range chickens and organic veggies.

And we'll all wear the same beige inoffensive garb with a smile on our faces at all times, lest we be viewed as having Republican thoughts.

Couldn’t agree more A Veteran:
I look at my parents living on a limited income and making due on what they have . . . My parents who are both in their 80’s and who remember the depression well – remember its struggles - and remember the sacrifices made for day to day existence . . . The thing most Americans don’t understand is how precariously close to that edge we actually are . . .

I myself see my mortgage balance exceeding what my house is actually worth . . . I see me and my parents incomes being eroded but still we fight on . . . We save for tomorrow – we don’t buy what we can’t afford – we do without so we can buy gas to get to work and food to survive on . . . .

My father, who never got a welcome home parade when he came home from Korea, always brought us up with pride in this great country of ours . . . My parents love this country to this day . . . As do I!!!! . . . Where else could we have this discussion? . . . However, that doesn’t stop my concern with where America has gone and where this Great Nation is going . . . When will we rayne in our corrupt, wasteful, special interest influenced government? . . . Just like you and I, America can’t afford to spend out of our means any longer . . . So like I have said before, batten down them hatches people because a big ones coming our way . . . . Unfortunately, I don’t think most people realize it!!!!!!!!!!!!

It should be interesting to watch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How about a what if:

Lets say that OPEC and Venezuala decided they didn't want to sell us anymore oil. What would Obama do in that situation.

Obama wants the troops out. Hey pull then out of everywhere, Korea, Germany. You might as well pull them out of Afghanistan too because al-quaeda won't stay there after we pull them out of Iraq. Iraq is where they will go. If the defense budget gets cut by 25% you won't have enough to pay them anyway.

For those who doubt the $5 million mark: Zovk-H5qmBE (at YT....thanks silly spamfilter!)

A joke? No, the dude was quite serious.

Here in NY we have families on 2nd and 3rd generation welfare, yes carrying cell phones, wearing designer clothes etc. The democrats are just going to make more of them.

Good to see you here again. You know how it goes. You can lead them to the truth but you can't make them drink it in. Life is simple..Choices and consequences. They will have to live with their choice. I'm all set. What money I do have is not in the bank anymore. My bills are paid including our house. So let it come. We were able to do that on less than 50,000 a year too. Sounds like they can't even manage on 250,000

To highoaksdrifter: Have you stopped to notice that people "living in poverty" today have it a whole lot easier than those living in poverty 100 years ago?

Today you've got people on welfare who have cable and a big-screen plasma TV. You've got people on food stamps who have a home and a car.

Poverty today isn't what it used to be. Many people from third world countries would like nothing more than to live in what we consider poverty.

Amen A Veteran:

Like you said last night "What a tnagle web we weave"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right it should be very interesting . . . .

You will find that Republicans can take defeat. We will weather the storm of an Obama regime. The question is when your taxes start going up higher and higher, when defense spending is cut and new terror attacks start will you be able to take it. I can't wait to see you here then with no one to blame but yourselves. Should be interesting.

I really don't think you get the big picture Blue . . . You like a number of Americans can’t see the forest through the trees . . . This mess wasn't caused by 6 years of Republicans being in office . . . it has taken decades and abuses by both parties to get us to where we are today . . . And it isn’t going away overnight . . . In fact it isn’t going to be easy for most of us working American’s . . . However, one thing is for certain - both you and I are going to have to pay for it out of our pockets . . . .

Just because I’m wondering, how can you actually support the Democratic “Spread The Wealth” agenda? . . . As a means of paying for the last 60 years of perverse government financial miss-management and graft? . . . Are you ready to pay your share? . . . Then get ready and don't expect any Vaseline . . . because we are about to get screwed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . . . Especially if Mr. Smile but lies through his teeth . . . That man speaks with forked tong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . . . .

Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Billiary Clinton, Di Fi, Bounce’m Barbara Boxer, Ted Kennedy, and the list goes on of corrupt Democrats . . . Why do you think congress has a lower approval rating than George Bush himself . . . They are all a bunch of lame ducks and crooks . . . . But remember this Blue you’ll get what you pay for – and I’ll be the first to remind you of your waited vote . . . I wish you well in your financial pursuit – just don’t come knocking on the doors of hard working middle-class Americans to pay for your pipe dream . . . Oh and what are you smoking?

What I find amazing is that republicans cannot understand how everyone else in the country is getting it so wrong. I mean really, after the last 8 years of everything being like Disney Land with an un-justified pre-emptive war in Iraq, an under funded and forgotten war in Afghanistan against who really perpetrated 9-11, an economy in shambles thru conservative de-regulation every-man-for-himself economic policies, millions living in poverty and millions more living without health care...the list is endless. And the 'Me First' party wonders why they're going down in flames? Don't touch my money. Don't regulate my business. Don't question my religion. Don't second guess my patriotism. Country First...what a joke. People aren't buying your talk radio talking points anymore.

To Blue: You're operating under the illusion that Democrats aren't at least equally to blame for all the ills that plague our country. I don't think Democrats could, or would fix this country no matter how many years they're given.

Until enough people in the general population get angry and decide to get involved in correcting our government, you're not going to see an ounce of change.

And the average American these days is content to go through life in complete ignorance to what goes on in Washington because its depressing and takes time away from watching their favorite TV shows.

So if you think Democrats are "agents of change" you're sadly mistaken. And when the Democrats fail, AND THEY WILL, don't blame it on the Republicans. This time the blame will rest solely on the shoulders of the Democrats and you'll have no one else to point fingers at.

Wait...an issue not being discussed by the Obama campaign? In virtually every speech he gives, he always mentions supporting other Dems down the ticket. What political campaign have you been following? Funny how McCain fears 1 party rule, but apparently is okay with how badly the GOP had screwed things up under their 1 party rule. Nothing was ever said then by him.

re" 'you're in for a big shock if you think the national nightmare is coming to an end...'

I'll almost agree with you here, but for a different reason,.. it will take the Dems a long time to even make a dent what is being left to them since 2000.
The Dems will be able to fix anything 'overnight'..it will take years for them to accomplish that goal....

talk about OUT OF THE FRYING PAN AND INTO THE FIRE.....NANCY PELOSI..HARRY REID????? UNCONSTRAINED BY ANYONE?? OBOYOBOYOBOY
