Two years of Bill Clinton was enough for America to get the Republican’s “Contract With America”, and gain control of Congress.

If Obama gets elected, I truly wonder how much of America will be left to salvage two years hence, after the promised tax increases and further out of control spending?

Something big is missing from all these talking points and remarks from the Republican team.

Simply put, they have been out-campaigned.

People want to say that if the economy was doing well then so would McCain. However, for most Americans, the economy hasn’t been going well for 2-3 years and it was Senator Obama who addressed NASDAQ one year ago to predict what was about to happen.

Obama, in 2002, predicted precisely and sadly enough, exactly what would happen in Iraq - Shia fighting Sunni, etc., and although we aren’t following it much right now, our fellow Americans are still dying there, as are innocent Iraqi civilians.

McCain wants to take credit for the surge, yet had we listened to Obama and some others, there never would have been a need for such a thing.

The Republicans have defined their party on life and being culturally “right”… Only it is hard for us to believe that when McCain did not vote for the GI Bill, picked an unqualified person as a running mate, backed a tax plan for the wealthy only, etc.

McCain was never going to win this election because we already knew who he was, and he wasn’t one of us. Palin, after her hate-filled introduction, has touched that ugly place in her supporters.

Obama will become President because he earned it the American way - through intelligence, kindness, sound judgment and a calm demeanor.

Bud: If the Republicans could convince me that they’d go back to the Contract and actually implement every single point on it (instead of what they did, was to abandon it after, I think, 3 of the items on the list), I’d vote for them. Right now, they have no idea that I’m interested in.

Midori: it was introduced by a few of the Fox commentators several days ago. It’s the new “talking point”. It’s the “please vote for us so we can have gridlock” argument, but in the previous breath, they were complaining about the gridlock created by Bush having to deal with a Democratic congress.

Received today from a friend of mine . It speaks for itself.

Note: MTOA is “Michigan Tactical Officers Association.”

“I have read all of the emails from not only some of the MTOA board members, but from other Law Enforcement & Military personnel about Barack Obama’s rudeness and what seems to be disgust for basically anyone in uniform.

Well, it’s my turn to add to the list of emailers and here it is:

So, members of the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Department, MSP, and other local agencies inside Calhoun County are working with Secret Service in the security of Mr. Obama. His bus arrives in Battle Creek and pulls into the stadium area. Before Barack Obama exits the bus, he has the Secret Service get off and tell all Law Enforcement personnel in uniform that they now have to stand behind the bus so Obama is not seen with anyone in a Law Enforcement uniform before he gets off, or while in the public view!

So, everyone from MSP, Sheriff’s Dept., and other agencies looks at each other for a brief second, goes and stands behind the bus out of sight so Barack Obama does not have to see, or be seen with, what to him is ‘UNDESIRABLES’ since he refuses to been seen or even acknowledge Military or Law Enforcement!

At a time of war and terrorism in our world, this presidental candidate who is being protected by various branches of the military & law enforcement at the taxpayers expense, refuses to acknowledge, be seen with, have in his photographed background, any type of Military or Law Enforcement in uniform!”

Midori, (also from the previous thread)

Numerous unsourced articles by Andy??

More like interminable.

But I do too. And when I was chastised for doing the same, I asked the same question as you - and got some other equally nonsensical non-answer.

But my sources are usually pretty boring - a lot of stuff from Newsmax.com (Newsmax Media is a conservative political organization) and CNN, ostensibly the Communist News Network according to certain non-centrists here. Unlike them though, I never visit any hyper-partisan sites, far-left or far-right, and don’t see the need to use (mis)information especially out of context to try and persuade.

And how about these AIG fat cats?

Aren’t they reminiscent of the French royalty in the years prior to the Revolution? A study in complete corruption and excess.

This outline is kinda eery too.

1756–1783 France builds up enormous debt by participating in the Seven Years’ War and American Revolution

November 2, 1783 Louis XVI appoints Charles de Calonne controller general of finance

February 22, 1787 Assembly of Notables convenes, rejects Calonne’s debt-relief proposals

Inflation was the hidden ingredient in the French revolution, and reduced buying power by the bourgeoisie may be the ingredient now.

The remaining possibilities are of course, many. But two biggies are who plays Marie Antoinette and Maximilien Robespierre?

And I was right!

The Falcons/Bears game was from the Twilight Zone!

People looking into Barack Obama’s campaign contributions say that Obama may have received $3.3 million from abroad. Yeah. It turns out that broad is Oprah Winfrey

Barack Obama continues to criticize John McCain’s economic plan. McCain would like to criticize Obama’s plan, but nobody knows what it is yet. So we’re still waiting

Earlier this evening, Barack Obama was in Hollywood at a big fundraiser, a sold-out fundraiser featuring Barbra Streisand singing. $28,500 a ticket. Barbra Streisand was singing. All the big Hollywood stars were there. It featured dinner prepared by the finest Hollywood chefs serving an array of gourmet food. I believe the topic tonight was how John McCain is out of touch with the common people

While she was addressing the crowd, Sarah Palin spent a lot of time criticizing Barack Obama’s campaign speeches for not having enough specifics. Obama was reportedly angry about the claim, but didn’t say exactly why.

Obama now says he is open to offshore oil drilling. So, apparently, when he promised change, he was talking about his mind.

The spectre was RAISED a long time ago. DEMOCRATS raised the spectre themselves. It is BARACH HUSSEIN OBAMA.

Republicans did not have to raise a finger towards raising this spectre. Obama’s shadowy life story, his many shadowy friends, his lack of experience, his antiwar stance, his short time in government, his lack of military “smarts”, his lack of respect for anything “patriotic” is beyond belief that he could be running for the office of the Presidency of the USA.

And then the possibility of a continued ineffectual Congress with an ambitious neophyte not only raises a SPECTRE, IT RAISES THE GREATEST ASTONISHMENT AMERICANS HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED.

Squib kick over one good return? Babich needs to be fired

The coaching staff lost the game three times: 1) 3 & goal & up the middle 2) 4 & goal & up the middle 3) squib kick at the end

How do you not kick it deep…

Yeah, this one is on the coaching staff….what a ridiculous way to snuff out Kyle Orton’s coming out party…squib to the 40????

As the brain-dead anncrs rambled about this great victory for Chi, I said, “Yes, but the Bears will squib the kick, Atl will throw 1 long pass & kick a long FG.

As soon as I saw the squable kick-off, I knew that was going to be a stupid call. They gave them half the field to work with.

Our head couching stafff is full of idoits how can u kick a squib kick while ur up by one and 6 seconds left they got on the 40 something yard this is just stupid as hell from the couch they should get fired on the spot

nice squib kick

With Lovie’s moranic call on the kick-off is undeniable proof he is a poor excuse for an NFL coach … he needs to be let go immediately.

Squib kick, what a joke.

You know Lovie if you need advice here it is… KIck it deep next time when you have an injured secondary!

Why did they squib kick it?!?! This loss is totally on Lovie!! That was his dumbest decision all day!!

The clock doesn’t start until the receiver touches it which is why you squib kick in the first place hoping somebody bats it around and screws things up. If he kicked it into the endzone the Falcons would have had all 11 seconds and 2 timeouts left.

The receiver got the ball at the Atlanta 34 which was plenty deep enough to cause the Falcons to get crazy and try a Cal/Stanford play.

I added one of my own. I see it on these sites everyday. It comes from leftists here…………

Despair!!!!! Leftists take great joy in despair. They breathe it, they live it, they wallow in it. It’s their panacea.

Again, were you ChiClowns watching the same game?

The Bears looked like cr@appola for much of it.

Their kicker didn’t give up that last BIG pass play. Their kicker didn’t fail to score on that HUGE goal line stand by Atlanta. Their kicker didn’t score two measly TDs the entire game. Their kicker didn’t give up 300 yards passing to Matt “Vick Who?”Ryan.

Like I’ve noted before. Whether it’s politics or sports, you whiny Reich-wing ballerinas just can’t lose with class. (But you are gonna have a bunch more chances soon to work on that defect.)

I can just see tomorrow’s Tribune sports page headline; “Duh Bears - Scr&wed Duh Pooch”.

Ouch!!

The Chicago Tribune does some finger pointing of it’s own:

Ayers is a terrorist—the narcissistic son of privilege and clout—whose father, Thomas, was the boss of Commonwealth Edison and a friend of the late Mayor Richard J. Daley. As a leader of the ultraviolent Weather Underground, Ayers admitted to helping bomb the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon in the 1970s. He should have been sent to prison. Instead, Chicago political clout allowed him and his wife, fellow radical Bernardine Dohrn, to magically join the payrolls of universities here.

Obama says he was 8 years old when the bombs went off. But he was a grown man when he sought Ayers’ political blessing, and when they worked on the same education projects.

Just imagine for a moment if McCain had worked together with Eric Rudolph.

The left just loves their murdering bomb throwers.

Actually @@, I wore the uniform from 69-75, all active duty. I walked downtown in US cities in uniform, but it didn’t matter because my haircut kinda gave it away.

And I was kind of confused about it all. Since my dad was a career military officer, I was brought up to “bomb Hanoi”.

So don’t you presume to tell me what I was doing or thinking back then, because I was living it.

But the left has always attracted the young college students as well as intellectuals and “do-gooders”. The right has appealed to the neo-nazi skinheads, NASCAR Nation, religious extremists, uber-nationalists, and the barely educated/easily led.

The Obamedia is attempting to set yet another false narrative: The narrative of the McCain “mob.” McCain-Palin rallies are out of control, they wheedle. Conservatives are mad! They’re yelling mean things about Obama and calling him names! It’ scaaaaary!

This is insane rage — Madonna bashing Sarah Palin and shrieking “I will kick her as-s:”

This is insane rage — Sandra Bernhard bashing Sarah Palin and cursing her head off with hate warping her crazed face:

This is violent escalation — Palin-hating artwork designating her an “M.I.L.P.” (Mother I’d Like to Punch). Hat tip: Edge of Forever:

This is insane rage and violent escalation — trendy “ABORT Sarah Palin” stickers:

This is self-admitted insane rage: Why Sarah Palin Incites Near-Violent Rage In Normally Reasonable Women.

Reader Monica M. sent me a link to the Democratic Underground’s latest thread for commenters to come up with nicknames and posters to slime GOP Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin — and then to “spread [them] all over the ‘net.” There are now nearly 100 filthy, hate-filled responses and counting. Among the “nicer” entries: “Cruella,” “Gidget,” “Governor Jesus Camp,” “VPILF,” “Fertilla the Huntress,” “Iditabroad,” and “KILLER PYSCHO FUNDIE B*** FROM HELL!!”

And the sickest attack of them all — mocking Palin for being a nursing mom:

This is insane rage — deranged left-wing photographer Jill Greenberg sabotaging an Atlantic magazine photo shoot of John McCain and defacing the pictures on her website:

This is insane rage and violent escalation — pointing a fake gun at the head of a Sarah Palin likeness sitting next to a cardboard cutout of her daughter in a museum display:

No wonder Republicans are so mad.

I just think it’s another example of ignorant Chicago leadership to give your opponent the ball at midfield, speaking of Chicago leadership, it was almost Oblahma like.

Hey libs,

Latest polls…. only a 6% lead by the Annointed One. To hear most of you tell it, he should be ahead by 20 or 30 points. That’s not going to be enough. Mr. Bradley is waiting in the wings. The MSM would have us believe that this thing is all but over…… but…… don’t think so. A good percentage of America still does not trust this empty suit to run this country. It gets better every day.

Horsey:

Tonight, in the Pennsylvania debate less than one week before the Keystone State’s primary, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Barack Obama about his long relationship with terrorist William Ayers — who has admitted setting a bomb in the Pentagon and whose Weather Underground girlfriend was killed while making bombs

“It was just a matter of inches for those who survived,” Fife said Friday, speaking to a crowd of several hundred current and former police officers. “Just a matter of inches and I (would have died) with Brian McDonnell. … It was carnage. It was the worst thing I had seen in my life. And it was just a matter of inches and seconds.”

Fife was one of several officers who spoke at a ceremony to introduce a plaque commemorating slain Sgt. McDonnell on the anniversary of a bomb attack at the San Francisco Police Department’s Park Station that also left eight officers injured. Mounted on the station’s outside wall, the plaque bears McDonnell’s image and a brief description of the event.

You sure about that?

The abject hate that has been exhibited for Palin goes a long was to explain what has happened to politics in this country and how polarized we have become. It reminds me of Nazi Germany in the 30s. When is this going to end? When are we to regain our civilized way of electing a president in this country. In 50+ plus years of voting , I have yet to see the hate, the vile language and the disregard for decency that critics have displayed. If you don’t like the lady, don’t vote for her but lay off. She and her family do not deserve this and it should not go along with running for public office. No way.

@@, that is so SAD!

It would seem your bible study and this charismatic young man would give you MORE patience, not LESS.

You talk about despair.

What about the family that is going to go bankrupt because the mother has a grave illness and they don’t have enough, or any insurance?

What about the family that is going to lose everything because the father’s job has been “exported” overseas, though his CEO and the other fat cat plutocrats are gonna get their zillions no matter what?

What about the families who’ve lost a son, father, mother or daughter in this “chosen” war in Iraq? Or a combat veteran survivor who can’t and won’t get the help he needs to live a decent life, in spite of the sacrifice he made?

That is real despair.

And to rhetorically cheapen it as “worship”, for such silly partisan gamesmanship, is especially tawdry, given it is in such a supposed holy place.

N-GA, well said. Very well said.

And ditto, Andy. I’m not sure when being minus 3 makes it an improbable win, but hey it’s the sensationalism that sells, right? Skeered indeedy…

Ray, I have voted for a Republican president in my entire lifetime exactly once, in 1984. Though I hated myself for it! And then again in 88 voting Dukakis.

And had this awful Dem/Rep duopoly succeeded again in using abusive litigation and other groundless tactics to bankrupt and keep Ralph Nader off the ballot this year, I would consider strongly voting for McCain.

But I think his choice of VP, as much or more than anything, will ultimately cost him this election and even the possibility of my vote.

H&ll, even Bob Barr may be a better option. ( I must be losing my mind, but at least he’s had a major epiphany and he understands and respects the Constitution!)

Good grief! I didn’t mention liberals during the study group. We don’t talk politics. I did, however, suggest that our little place of worship start preparing for the coming storm. Food pantry, clothes closet, building up our benevolent fund, advertising our Wednesday Night Suppers. People will have needs and it’s our duty, as Christians to provide.

See! While you’re reveling in the despair of others, we’re doing something to prepare.

For decades the democrats have been using the despair of others for political points. For decades the democrats have been making promises to the impoverished without delivering. Government should give a hand up, encouragement and confidence. It shouldn’t constantly remind people that they’re in despair.

ACORN giving them a buck and a smoke to register for voting. Their generosity is overwhelming.
