Why is nobody's hair on fire about this?

I look at the polls and cannot believe that Obama is ahead. We are a right of center country and the polls point to a far left result. I cannot believe that the conservatives are not standing on street corners, screaming, "What are you people thinking!"
This is a capitalist, individualist country, and Obama wants to turn it into a Socialist collective. Have we learned nothing from the collapse of the Soviet Union and the stagnation of Europe? Socialism does not work. Sure, capitalism has its problems but at least when it works it works marvelously.
Socialism never works. Socialism puts government and academics in charge. We need to innovate ourselves out of today's current problems. What is Obama offering, a Department of Innovation, which will have party officials handing down decrees to tell the next Steve Jobs how to innovate? Ridiculous!
The only people I see making real money under Obamanomics are lawyers and accountants. We will need lots of them to figure out how to "share" the wealth, we will need lots more to enforce this so-called sharing, and then we will need lots more, hired by the people with the wealth, to avoid sharing. In the end, the people who do not have wealth now will not get enough wealth to make a difference (as Jesus said, "The poor will always be with us"), and the people with the wealth will manage to keep most of it. However, the lawyers and accountants will get rich in the process of fighting over wealth.

Wow!!! What we people are really thinking is: “Finally, a ray of intelligence.” This is not a capitalistic, individualistic country. This is a feudalistic country, where the word “feudalism” has been replaced, because the French Revolution proved that it was no longer acceptable. The only thing that has changed is the manner in which the wealth produced by the workers is transferred to the “lords” and “masters”.
When people see the thousands of dollars that are removed from their paychecks for “FICA” purposes (an amount that is matched by the employer, and which is also part of the worker’s compensation), they actually don’t mind because they believe that it is an investment for their future. However, we have seen trillions of dollars removed from “FICA” intended purposes, and transferred to the “lords” and “masters” through “legalized” tax breaks, outright handouts, and payment for goods and services, such as $300.00 dollars for a hammer and $500.00 for a roll of toilet paper. We are living in a feudalistic society, same as our ancestors did for the past millennium or so, when feudalism began to overlap outright slavery.
As for your thoughts on the redistribution of wealth – unless the workers are allowed to keep the major portion of the wealth that they generate, the economy will continue to stagnate. It was the unions that built this country and brought about the conditions necessary for all of the progress that we have experienced.

At least McCain will be taking Wyoming.

Watching Palin in NV now and she rocks. I think she would be fantastic in Washington, and get Government back on the side of Americans with Sen. McCain. She is the best speaker out of all four. She is excited, energized, upbeat, direct, positive and will be a huge political star either way this election turns out.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN

The inflating of the numbers by Lib Media for Prince Obama could spell disaster if he goes in with a 5 point lead and LOSES.....as Carvelle said, he'd hate to see the scene that might take place after that. What is Carvelle referencing, riots?
NO BAMA, NOT EVER. I WILL TURN OFF THE TV FOR 4 YEARS, AS I CAN'T STAND TO HEAR HIM BLOVIATE.

What has gotten into you this morning, Mr. Tapper? Cherry-picking polls to make the case that Obama is smashing McCain? How about the other polls that show narrowing? Been to Real Clear Politics today?

I myself am taking all polling, including that favorable to my chosen candidate, with a huge grain of salt this year. Things have just been too squirrely. (Not an ACORN pun) And if polls were all that mattered, we wouldn't bother to have the actual election. Or maybe the Democrats will try that next, since if they skew the sample well enough, they can usually get the results they like often enough to keep them happy.

Joe the Plumber is resonating. Biden the Gaffe-master's revelations are resonating. McCain is still in this ballgame.

"Hope, Change, Hate" - QUIT YER WHINING.

YOUR candidate decided to run a gutter campaign at a moment of extraordinary crisis.

YOUR candidate decided to choose an unvetted, unqualified, unprincipled, unprepared snowbilly for a running mate.

NOW HE'S LOSING THE ELECTION AND YOU BLAME THE MEDIA?

IT'S HIS OWN FAULT.

IT'S YOUR FAULT TOO FOR NOT DEMANDING BETTER FROM YOUR PARTY.

REPUBLICANS = REJECTED

Two weeks to go, and the game is up for the intolerant, the ignorant, and the incomprehensible. About time, we've suffered enough.

Hey since all the polls are pointing to President Obama, why continue....for God's sakes Americans, your voices don't need to be heard....you are being TOLD who your next President is going to be...you are being TOLD how your money (wealth) will be spread around to your less fortunate brothers and sisters, and you are being TOLD by Biden Obama will be tested in a way we cannot forsee and it will be daunting.
NO ONE TELLING ME TO SUPPORT OBAMA IN OR OUT OF OFFICE.
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN, ALWAYS!

The election comes down to Colorado and Virginia. If Obama wins them both (currently at least 5% ahead in both states) and keeps all of the current other lean / solid Obama states, it doesn't matter what Ohio, Florida, and Missouri do.

Obama said he could find a different path to 270 and it looks like he will be correct on this.

McCain pulled out of Michigan too early. I really think they missed an opportunity there and would have made some big gains over the past week if they had a presence there.

Instead of solutions for America's dire economic problems, all we see from the Repubs is more and more nutty conspiracy theories.

Everything is SECRET AND SCARY!!!!

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Note to Repubs: America celebrates Halloween for ONE DAY ONLY. Economic issues are important ALL YEAR.

IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID!

I have seen paranoid people before, but some of you need help.

'Hail to the Chief', President-Elect Barack Obama!

Bush and Caribou Barbie will do or say anything now. They have no honor and no respect. In the end, McShame will go back to Arizona and Barbie will go back to Alaska to face charges.
adios!

Somewhere along the way we have lost ourselves. We whom the rest of the world is watching based on our stance re: democracy and trying to reform the rest of the world…. How do we think we are perceived by them as stupid people who are indoctrinating the world about something we ourselves don’t know? Stop and think we say conservative yet we forget “all are created equally” and the ability to think as the song says “no one knows the color of the almighty skin Black, yellow, white or blue what matters. Is it the color of or skin or the color of our eyes… we are losing ourselves values based on ignorance ….I condemn “poly trick sons” for what they are doing instead of tell a hurting country their mandate and how best they will address the needs and concern of yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The lower and middle class …

While the fight wages to redistribute wealth and regulate every aspect of commerce the economy will tank. Ultimately, in the process of trying to redistribute wealth we will generate a lot less wealth. Those who are poor now will become destitute, and those who are rich now will be less rich.

Why is nobody's hair on fire about this?

REPUBS:

IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID.

WHAT ARE YOUR PROPOSALS FOR THE ECONOMY?

NONE?

MORE OF THE SAME?

YOU ARE THE WEAKEST LINK. GOODBYE.

Ed I agree with you that the economy is the primary issue, but I would also suggest "It's the republicans stupid."

"Maverick", I read that one too!

McCain's GOP cronies are experts at voter suppression. Even Pubs are admitting it happened

McCain Employing GOP Operative Accused Of Voter Registration Fraud

Investigated Multiple Times For Suppressing Dem Voter Turnout...
---------------------------------
As Republican Congressman Chris Cannon summarized during a joint hearing for the subcommittee on commercial and administrative law back in May 2008: "The difference between ACORN and Sproul [Now with the McCain campaign]is that ACORN doesn't throw away or change registration documents after they have been filled out."
----------------------------------

What? No. Not the Republicans. They never would try to cheat in an election would they? They've never tried to prevent people from voting. And certainly they wouldn't try to alienate all the people registered bt ACORN as another means to supress votes. Nah, never.

Mr Obama has used all of the Classic programs of Mind control on the American People.

Power of Suggestion - He Told you what he wanted you to concentrate on, He told you what he wanted your problems to be, what he wanted you to think, what he wanted you to feel, what he wanted you to do. that he wanted you to pick him, That he was the only one who could help you, That he was a good man, a man of faith, That he was the only to change your Government. Telling you to Blame Bush and the Government for all your Problems. Adding in the catch phrases, cue words and slogans, Hope, Faith, Believe, Change, Yes we can. All in a mesmerizing Speech.

Power of Persuasion - He told you stories to fit and and make it seem like he was feeling the same thing as you. He Started telling you We think this, We think that, We want this, we need this, That he was a good man, a man of faith and that the others were not. We can change our government. Telling you to Blame Bush and the Government for all your Problems in the catch phrases, cue words and slogans, Hope, Faith, Believe, Change, Yes we can. All in a mesmerizing Speech

He set up a common Enemy for you to share - It is Hillary fault, It is McCain Fault, It is Bush's Fault, it is the Governments Fault., for everything wrong in your life and the Country and the World.

Repetition - He told you this over and over and over again, until you believe, Until you thought it was your thoughts, your Ideas, That he was the only good one, that he was the only one who could help you, and he was the only one who could change your government.

Reinforcement - Marketing and Advertising - Using ever means of media available to man, TV, Radio, Billboards, Flyers, mail, Internet, blogs, email, Ads everywhere, Cell phones, phones, Polls, Have a site, Now even in Video Games, Keeping it in your face, 24/7, the barrage of stimulus on your mind.etc., keeping the mind conditioning working.

Staging rallies into other events, to make it seem like everyone came out of their homes and showed up just to see him, So he could make you think everyone wanted him. When Huge events were already going on there, he offered free concerts and other perks, ads and invitations to get those to stay from other events. Tricking your mind.

Obama came from no where with nothing at all

Obama is running on a Speech, which plants seeds in your mind, Marketing and Advertising That stimulates those seeds constantly. With the Barrage of in your face 24/7 stimulating your mind for what he wants. With every available advertising known to man.

Over the next few weeks it will be at a record high level.

What Our Government was suppose to protect us from.

Using and Abusing the American People.

At least Hillary knows Sarah palin is stupid and Barack Obama is going to be an awesome president. Mclame=more of the same.
