People like you should vote McCain and ask for increased spending for public edumacation.

Yeah, we should throw more money at the problem. It's worked SO well for us so far.

Quote
The data show that spending on instruction accounted for over 70 percent of the total growth in spending since 1960. Current account expenditures rose from a nationwide average of $1,700 per pupil in 1960 to $5,193 in 1990, which represents an average growth rate of 3.8 percent per year over inflation.

This while the nation's youth leave high school with less and less capability in the three R's.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

That 24 would buy into the imbecilic koolaid obama spews every chance he gets (like 99% of every other Obama groupie) is one thing... That 24 doesn't realize Obama's only spewing it to please the crowds and because the Illinois political machine told him to, and that he's sporting the "patriotic" avatar and trolling like a good Obama puppet, at the same time.. That's funny.  
How shallow and absurd for him to "denounce" bigots, when he's going off the bigot chart himself at 14yo or so, parroting Obama's mantra like it was anything more than joe sixpack bait.

My avatar says it all. I could be one of the most American people on here. Why are we even having this discussion when Obama was awarded the presidency a few weeks ago? For example, John McCain went somewhere last week (I have no idea where he went) and the media didn't cover it. This week, on the other hand, Obama went to the middle east and was followed by many of the news stations. ABC News spent most of this week broadcasting from the Middle East. The media has already decided this race, so why fight it? The media knows what this country wants and needs.

sorry, i misquoted, they are, "we are the ones we have been waiting for" and "we are the change we have been seeking", they mean nothing, slogan politics.

there is no context, as i said they are prepared sound bytes. The double use of "we" seems confusing.


Yea,  but it does make one feel all puffy...

if he's elected, if things only get worse, than I'm gonna move out of the Country. Either Israel or somewhere else.

Crud.  Was all set to vote for McCain.  This presents a new wrinkle. 

You working for Obama?

So....you are trying to say that politicians lie to us?   :uhoh


All kidding aside, I know what you mean.....sad really.

I know this guy better then most cause he came up in my state and my city.

And he kissed the most corrupt Political rings in the country to do so. He constantly reinvented himself, was always hand in hand with shady characters, and belonged to a racist church for the sole purpose of advancing his career by solidifying his voting base.

He will be the most anti-gun President we ever had. His upbringing is almost a complete mystery. His experience level is probably the smallest of any leader ever to run for the office and he's such a flip-flopper a picture emerges of a guy so starving for power who will say, and do, anything to get it.

A man like Colin Powell I could trust in that seat. But something about this guy just bothers me. And the fact the media has gone on a crusade to get him elected just frightens me.

I have no idea if that's sarcasm or not, but that sentence made a massive vein jump out on my forehead.

Fret not Indy.  There probably are a few Charles Foster Kanes out there.  The rest are working stiffs who are trying to get as much dough as fast as they can until the supply runs out.  Some, granted, are very rich working stiffs certainly.

The media laugh all the way to the bank every day.  The manufacture news.  What a lark!
