Change?
McC or Obamessiah is more of the same poop we've had for the last 20 years.
If you truly want change and you truly want freedom, vote Libertarian.
Drivel.....
I SUPPORT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT
Writing in a New York Times blog yesterday, Clinton pollster Mark Penn hails the selection of Joe Biden as "a smart and successful choice" and says this:
From Al Gore on, the role of the vice president seems to have fundamentally changed. It used to be where the winner parked the loser or some other figure that he wanted to neutralize. Now, with the centralization of government power in the White House, the vice president has become essentially a Cabinet head. Indeed, the last two vice presidents have had real portfolios and responsibilities, second only to the president.
That we live in a country characterized by "the centralization of government power in the White House" -- exactly what the Constitution was designed to prevent -- is now so self-evident that it's not even debated or contested any longer...
...Since Pelosi and Reid took over Congress, the Congress has funded the Iraq war without even a symbolic condition. It has rejected every proposal to limit war spending. It has enacted one right-wing proposal after the next, from warrantless surveillance and telecom immunity to declaring parts of the Iranian Government a "terrorist organization." It passed a housing bill and "stimulus" package approved by the administration. It has done nothing to reverse the radical executive power theories and has done much to institutionalize them. If there is one predominant trait of the Congress over the past several years, it has been a willingness to grant every item on the the President's wish list regardless of whether Democrats or Republicans are in control....
...Whether rightly or wrongly, Biden is approved of and deemed to have Seriousness credentials by the political establishment because they perceive that he affirms those central precepts and they see his selection as a sign that Obama will, too. And there is much to suggest that that perception -- at least as it applies to Biden -- is correct. In an October, 2001 New Republic article, Michael Crowley recounted that Biden was continuously boasting that the terrorism bill sent to Congress by John Ashcroft (soon to be called The Patriot Act) was a replica of legislation that Biden had long advocated -- ever since the Oklahoma City courthouse bombing:...
...What is most significant here is that for all the talk about how radical and horrible the Bush presidency has been, for all the hand-wringing over how deeply dissatisfied the citizenry is with our political institutions and direction of the country, what establishment figures like David Ignatius, Fred Hiatt and David Brooks crave most is to ensure that nothing really change. To them, what is most vital is that everything continue more or less as is, and that in particular, we continue to be a country ruled by "the centralization of government power in the White House," in which even the meekest and most ineffectual of Congressional leaders -- Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi -- are attacked for being too "partisan," disruptive and belligerent.
Congress was, in theory, the instrument for the citizenry to exert influence over the Government -- to enable citizens to decide when and if we went to war, how we conducted ourselves in the world, what power political leaders would have over citizens, what limits would constrain them. That's why the political establishment wants to reduce and neuter Congressional power as much as possible.
What the David Ignatiuses and Fred Hiatts of the world fear most is any meaningful influence on the part of the citizenry over the levers of Government (as the Post's Shailagh Murray said in explaining why the Government should ignore public opposition to the Iraq War: "Would you want a department store manager or orthodontist running the Pentagon? I don't think so"). Preserving "the centralization of government power in the White House" is the best and most effective means devised thus far for allowing the political elite to run the country without interference from the dirty, stupid masses, and though the establishment generally believes (accurately) that Republicans serve those ends more effectively, what they care about most is obtaining a bipartisan commitment to continuing that state of affairs. They're fine with rhetoric bashing the Bush administration -- now that it's almost over. What they oppose most vociferously is any effort to change the framework that enabled it...Quote
snipLiberals have done so well for the UK :aok
Why is it that every time a Democrat says something stupid and un-American its called, "taking it out of context"? We have Politicians now that exhorted armed rebellion back in the '60s?......"taken out of context". John Kerry at Winter Soldier?.http://www.wintersoldier.com/....."taken out of context". Al Gore inventing the Internet and having been in combat reporting for Stars and Stripes?..."taken out of context". That she/male Hillary bragging how she braved war in Serbia?..."taken out of context".
I can go back to LBJ myself, "I wont send American boys 1/2 way across the world to fight a war that Asian boys should be fighting for themselves".
Ready? ..........ready?......"Taken out of context". :rofl
I SUPPORT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT
MCWATT
I'm sure the same thing has been said about Republicans.
We have a famous newspaper that hasnt printed one negative thing about Obama since he started running. They run pictures of him that make him look like the second coming of Christ. Meanwhile Bush and MCaine are always shown with the kinda strange goofy looks on their faces the other 7 Billion of us somtimes have. I read this rag just fascinated by the power the media has on most people.
Hangtime, has the cheese slid off your cracker???
This post's credibility lost when you look at the poster's location...
Barack America is well on his way to winning all 57 states.
My god, the horror...what to do...WHAT TO DO? ? ? ? ? ? ?!!!!!!!!!!
Hangtime, has the cheese slid off your cracker???I rofl'd.
Like, zOMG...I don't know who to believe now...bully.
Yossarian or Angelsandhairpasta....
My god, the horror...what to do...WHAT TO DO? ? ? ? ? ? ?!!!!!!!!!!
TRUTH: Barack Obama’s campaign canceled an originally private visit (no media) to wounded troops in Germany to avoid politicizing our soldiers during his campaign-funded trip in Germany.
Yeah right....and Madonna is a virgin and Britney Spears will get the Mother Of The Year award.Your sig is weak.
Your sig is weak.Your schwantz is weak
Your schwantz is weakdude, I'll so whoop it out.
I don't need to tell you that John McCain will just bring us another four years of the same. You can't change America when you supported George Bush's policies 95% of the time.Maybe you should worry about changing Britain... When you get old enough to vote. :rolleyes:
Shouldn't I wait for Yossarian or hairpasta to tell me first?
One more thing... Just because a candidate promises change, that doesn't mean that change is going to be for the better.Spot on. Look a Michigan. Governor Granholm promised change. She said give me 5 years and you won't reconize your state. She was right. Business have left by the dozens (her tax policys at work) and we have the highest unemployment rates in the country with no end in site.
the only "change" a pres can have is in the appointment of federal judges and in the vetoing of bills.
osama bin biden will appoint commie judges who hate the constitution and will sign every nanny bill that comes across their desk.
the main reason to not vote for the osama bin biden group tho is.... your-0-peeeans love em.
lazs

One more thing... Just because a candidate promises change, that doesn't mean that change is going to be for the better. Amazing how many sheep will run into a pen when somebody uses one word.
@moot: IMO it has disappeared (if we're talking about the same thing - the racism issue). When he applied to Harvard, Obama did not put on his CV that he's black.
He ain't voting AT ALL. Look at his location, then ask him his age and voting status.:aok
... but I think that Obama's promised changes are far better than those of McCain (who has apparently voted with Bush 95% of the time).
Well after Bush, it would be hard for the changes by either candidate to be for the worse (realistically speaking), but I think that Obama's promised changes are far better than those of McCain (who has apparently voted with Bush 95% of the time).
@moot: IMO it has disappeared (if we're talking about the same thing - the racism issue). When he applied to Harvard, Obama did not put on his CV that he's black.It hasn't even started to disappear you freakin fanboy. Obama hasn't come out and said explicitely "BLACK/WHITE division is keeping America stuck in mud.. We MUST get over it yesterday before expecting any true unbiased devotion to America's true goals". He's a black person in a position of leadership... And what does he do? He parrots the freakin Democratic party line... Instead of going MLK on couch-potatoe-America's arse and going straight for the jugular: "Kill the freakin in-fighting already!"

My girl friend and I were channel surfing yesterday morning.
We decided to count how many times something was on about Obamma vs McCain.
We counted 18 times Obamma was mentioned vs 6 times that McCain was mentioned.
What does that tell you about our media?? Seems that Every time I turn on the Boob tube
I see Obamma and hardly ever to I see McCain.
You know, with all the national media, as I've been saying here for months, in the tanks. My colleagues in the national media are absolutely biased, in the tank supporting the Obama candidacy while claiming the mantle of objectivity. Whether they're in the front page of "The Washington Post," "The New York Times," whether it's any one of the news casts, I mean, it's ridiculous.
Well, I think the way the national media in this country right [now] is performing, is disgraceful. And I mean, when we - "The Washington Post" had the courage to admit that it - Deborah Howell, the public editor, the ombudsman for the "Washington Post" ran a piece this past Sunday acknowledging that "The Washington Post" has put Barack Obama on the front pages of the Washington Post three times as many times as Senator McCain. "Time" magazine has run seven covers with Obama. McCain two. I mean, this is not close, folks. And it is ugly. It is nasty. And I guarantee you, we are watching a shift in the way in which the media in this country, which is already reviled by the public, I believe it's going to be even worse.
I'm an advocacy journalist. I'm an independent populist. When I speak, people know where I'm coming from. When these news organizations are doing this and trying to pretend cloaking themselves in the mantle of objectivity, you know, they're silly, (trulish), absolutely in my opinion, despicable phonies.
but I think that Obama's promised changes are far better than those of McCain (who has apparently voted with Bush 95% of the time).
I don't need to tell you that John McCain will just bring us another four years of the same. You can't change America when you supported George Bush's policies 95% of the time.How many more standard DNC talking points can you recite?
Central Planning is sold to a hopeful people as a way to solve societal problems, to right wrongs, and bring about perfect justice and equality. Central Planning promises you everything you are entitled to. As a bonus, goods and services produced by others are added to the list of commodities that everyone has a "right" to. Suddenly everyone is entitled to healthcare, housing, education, food, et cetera. It might sound nice that the state will magically provide all these wonderful things, but these rosy promises mask a dehumanizing, ugly reality. The other side of these entitlements is that now the doctor, the builder, the teacher, the farmer are slaves to the all-powerful state. No longer do they serve patients, students, or customers. They work in complete obedience to the state, their only customer.[/size]
Central planning will tell you that you are entitled to many things. Liberty tells you that you are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; to whatever you earn, and nothing that you don't. While it may seem harsh to some, we must look to basic economic truths and to history to see which model is cruel and which model is kind.
The truth is that central planning cannot provide for economic success like freedom can. Central planning makes promises it cannot possibly keep. We live in a world of unlimited wants and limited resources. If you put a massive and powerful government in charge of distributing those resources, it is not a surprise that government and those in bed with government are first in line for those resources. The poor and the middle class – the most hopeful and trusting – are hurt the most, as the state always underestimates their needs and overestimates their ability to pay taxes and absorb inflation.
How many more standard DNC talking points can you recite?

Who wrote that?
Freedom is Golden
By Ron Paul
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/08/freedom_is_golden.html
You want change? You're going to have to pop your head out of your anal vent and realize that it will totally be business as usual if either McC or The Obamessiah win.
Instead of voting against someone vote for Liberty.
The Libertarian party awaits your support.
Liberty. Freedom. POSITIVE Change.
a vote for ron paul is a vote for obama. you know it , everybody knows it.
Just how bad have you suffered under Bush, and exactly what kind of change do you want to see?
Exactly what in your life is so screwed up that you need to seek change through the politics of another country?
Seriously, you're full of s**t sitting in your home spouting off for change in our country on the internet, when you don't provide anything for yourself in your own life kid.
[snip]
But no.... Can't have that.. We gotta make the "republicans" pay.. We gotta dismiss the founding fathers' work as "outdated" and take the democratic party line as gospel. Lighten up UK-boy.
forget it yossarian.......
thats all the time I will waste on your post.

but I think that Obama's promised changes are far better than those of McCain (who has apparently voted with Bush 95% of the time).
McCain may have a lot of experience, but that doesn't mean his ideas are any good IMO.
Once again, can you compare/contrast McCain's ideas and those of Obama?
(hint: you have to put some thought into it...reciting talking points does not cut it)
Once again, will you compare/contrast McCain's ideas and those of Obama?
"I introduced the terrorism bill in '94 that had a lot of these things in it,"
Aaahhh...hmm....the first two lines of your post don't make much sense at the moment, so I think I'll conveniently ignore them until your clarify it for me.
And also seriously, who are you to tell me that I'm full of it? And as for your final phrase, why does that mean I (in your view) am/should not be allowed to voice my opinions on here, and show people how I see things?
So you won't answer the questions posed to you... How convenient.That's OK he's a democrat in the making, so far he's passing with flying colours. :aok
That more than anything else says you're just full of crap. You don't pay your own way or provide for yourself, your opinion means nothing.
So you won't answer the questions posed to you... How convenient.

Well I've seen multiple pictures of McCain which try to portray him in the way you just described. And I'm hardly surprised if the media has that much influence on people, as it is essentially our only way of knowing what happens in the world.you mean like these(http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg229/WWhiskey/2576236031_1be21850ae.jpg)

Obama believes in the same principles Reagan did.
Really, how so?
Be specific, please.
Small government, individual responsibility, and adherence to the Constitution.Seriously? Democrats?
Small government, individual responsibility, and adherence to the Constitution.
Obama believes in the same principles Reagan did.
Yea, I remember Reagan advocating windfall taxes.
Small government, individual responsibility, and adherence to the Constitution.

Untrue. He removed them.

Also, for all your anti-Obama BS (usually BS), here's something:
BS: John McCain is attacking Barack Obama for not visiting wounded troops
RUMOUR: John McCain, his spokesmen, and his TV ads have all been politicizing our heroes overseas by making the false claim that Barack Obama snubbed wounded troops by not visiting them on his foreign trip.
TRUTH: Barack Obama’s campaign canceled an originally private visit (no media) to wounded troops in Germany to avoid politicizing our soldiers during his campaign-funded trip in Germany.
By the way, change will not happen until we CHANGE CONGRESS
Congress taxes, spends, and borrows and makes the law. The Executive branch executes the law.
Vote against all encumbants, regardless of party. Give some other crooks a chance.
AAAAAAAMEN!!!!! :aok
term limits, line item veto.
it's a start for real change

For anyone who still believes the bullpoop about change, I suggest taking a few minutes and reading this editorial on the power of the Presidency.
McC or Obamessiah you're getting more of the same.QuoteYeah it's kinda true but, Obama is gonna actually hekp this country more than what McCain has in store.i think Obama shouldent even be able to run for president.... he wont put his hand over his heart for pledge of allegianceDid U even read this article??? or u just posting what u heard??? i saw him do this on a video somewhere...where do you get your information???
-BigBOBCH
i think Obama shouldent even be able to run for president.... he wont put his hand over his heart for pledge of allegiance

Kindly read the original post.
Also, add multi-lateral foreign policy to the list of why I support Obama over McCain.
And how would you describe a multilateral foreign policy?I got $5 on a cut 'n' paste :lol
I got $5 on a cut 'n' paste :lol
Good, because you all owe me $5 in that case :)
In my own words:
Multi-lateral foreign policy means working with your allies, rather than going at it alone.

Iraq. I know there was a Coalition, but it sure wasn't much of one. The first George Bush got a huge coalition to go along with him in Gulf War One, but George W. Bush went into Iraq without a broad international agreement that it was the right thing to do.

The Brits are a lot of things but one thing they aint is "poodles". I myself am glad there are still people like them left in this manure pile world.
I guess we could have all sat around for another 11 years while Saddam flipped the bird at us again on a daily basis.
lets see england went too war with germany all by itself,, was that a bad thing ? should they have waited till the rest of the free world got on board? i think they would have been german subjects by then! thank god (on your behalf) that they acted without the consent of the rest of the world!

YA, because we all know Iraq is sooo powerful and allmighty. they were within a day of taking over the world when we went in there, right? :Dwell we could have stop ed the germans long before they caused millions to die
Incorrect, if you're referring to World War II, Britain went to war with France against Germany.
Wrong on all counts.
I just love the way this kid thinks if he says it that makes it correct but if it's someone elses statement they are wrong, oh well I suppose that's typical kids.
Maybe when they drop he will develop a mind of his own and not just follow blindly.
It's interesting how you pick and choose what posts to respond to.
Was mine over your head? (it was in between WWhiskey's and xbrit's)
xbrit has is right:
It's the liberal way....all for freedom of speech as long as it is their speech...anything that goes against their rose-colored world view is either wrong, racists, or hate speech.
