[TODAY’S MIKE LUCKOVICH[(http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/luckovich/index.html)

He was wearing a Hillary08 Inevitable t-shirt.

That’s a real nice symbol thee kult has put on the Obambi shirt, what is that, the sun setting on America?

How fitting.

Now go hide under your bed, mikey.

Coward.

~~~~~

Living a lie, how typical for the dhimmokrat party:

Even the New York Times is mad at him, accusing him of false advertising. (“Mr. Obama’s shifts are striking because he was the candidate who proposed to change the face of politics, the man of passionate convictions who did not play old political games.”). For once it’s hard to quibble with the Grey Lady.

Obama has reversed course on everything from FISA to the Second Amendment to the Kyl-Lieberman Amendment to gay marriage to campaign finance reform. His Iraq policy is changing, or maybe it isn’t. Stay tuned. Even his biographical ads touting his leadership on welfare reform (which he actually opposed) and his struggle to work through school (which seems to only have amounted to two summer jobs) are being fact checked and disproved by the MSM.

~~~~~

Watch the Urinal/DNC fall for propaganda meant for the rival political blocs in Iraq:

Iraq may set troop exit date-Urinal/PMS

Imagine that, last week all was lost, this week I guess Iraq went up the beanstalk and became a giant, eh, AJC?

The Iraqi leader also recognizes that American opinion has turned against the war and believes that his country should not wait for a U.S. decision to pull out troops, according to lawmakers from his Islamic Dawa Party.-Urinal/PMS

Hairy Reed doesn’t not set “American opinion.”

But them again, when the majority of Americans say they want the war to end what they mean is to end it with victory, and the libs ahve no idea what that means.

They think America loves a loser.

~~~~~

For while the rhetoric about Uncle Sam’s global leadership tends to the harsh and negative, the record tells a different story. Under President George W. Bush, the U.S. has taken the lead on issues from combating malaria to breaking down trade barriers that keep the crops of poor African farmers out of First World markets. No one else is even close.

~~~~~

Frisky sun worshipers are flocking to have sex on the beach in Provincetown - but are sending horrified family vacationers packing, officals said. One complaint, issued in 2007, was from a New Jersey family walking in the dunes who encountered couples and a large group of men having “sex in the nude, including oral and anal sex right out in the open,” the Cape Cod Times reported last week. “The majority is gay,” Price said.

Aahhh, yes, “love” in Freakochussetts.

Opening soon at a freak show near your kid’s school.

~~~~~~

The coalition military led by incomparable US forces regularly wipe the floor with al-Qaeda and Taliban forces. Insurgent losses may not yet exceed replacement levels mainly because local shooters can be hired for $50 a day, a sum well worth risking one’s life for in Afghanistan.

Gee, I wonder how the terrorists, America’s enemy, are able to pay that $50 a day?

Because we don’t drill for our own oil?

Drownings in Lanier linked to low levels-Urinal/DNC

Good morning all. I doubt that even our most rabid leftists believe Obama will take Arkansas, the most-democrat state in the South. And we all note that Obama is making noises about taking Montana (which, despite consistently electing leftist democrats to Congress, seemingly always votes republican in the presidential election). The most evenly divided states in the last election were Iowa, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. I see Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Pennsylvania as toss ups, but Michigan and New Mexico should be solid democrat. Washington state is another potential pick off for McCain, one that a true conservative would be unable to take. While Wisconsin and Minnesota were drifting toward conservatives over the Bush years, those now seem to be Obama country due to the under-25 voters; in contrast, the bitter people of Pennsylvania and Ohio perhaps see Obama for what he is, putting those within reach for McCain, whereas they would have been cake walks for Hillary.

I think Novak’s last review called it a dead heat, electoral vote advantage for McCain, despite a large popular advantage for Obama. Jbmlaw forecast: Colorado will be the difference.

Second forecast: even though a horse race column like this makes all opinions equal, our leftist friends will still spew nothing but epithets, with no analysis.

Wooten may be right, but I suspect it will be very close until the end.

In 2004 41.4% of the vote went to John Kerry. Those voters will go Obama.

Most of the newly registered will go Obama.

Most of the Independents will go Obama.

Lot’s of the GOP will go Barr or stay home.

Then there are the Obamacons…..

It’ll be close.

Despite Wooten’s increasingly desperate-sounding denials, Georgia may very well be in play this fall.

Not because Georgians have suddenly wised up enough to vote for President Obama, but because of near-universal disgust with the current, failed Republican administration and strong distaste for McCain among far-right conservatives. Such Georgia conservatives are likely to either stay home or vote for Barr (the Libertarian candidate), splitting the once-reliable GOP base in this state.

Really, the only question is what role Georgia will play in President Obama’s landslide—-contributor, or speed bump.

Interesting bit buried in here, Jim:

The higher capital gains taxes Obama supports would have affected 600,000 Georgians in the 2006 tax year, he said, while raising the payroll tax to fund Social Security, as Obama suggests, would have hit 800,000 small business owners in the state

Please. You knew when you typed this screed that these numbers are flat-out lies. You knew that Saxby probably got his numbers by taking the total number of Georgians who have some kind of stock/mutual fund investment and pretending that Obama’s proposals would affect them adversely.

You know this, and yet you posted it and printed it anyway.

Shame on you.

Goldie, it’s not that Wooten has to unhitch his wagon from the Bushy tail. It’s that conservatism no longer feels obligated to call themselves Americans. They’ve basically disowned us, effectively transferring their fear during 911 into hatred for other Americans, not the 911 conspirators. They’ve allied their cause to OBL’s fugitive status, which they must protect at all cost, or they will wilt like the landscaping in a drought.

Conservatives have forged new santuaries. Their newest mansions look like diplomatic embassy compounds in hostile far away countries. The windows are small and would make perfect gun ports. I even saw one clown attaching a cauldron for boiling oil on his roof. He said it was to deep fry turkeys on his balcony……..sure.

This is nothing new. The status quo always resents the new face of America. The Irish in New York had it bad, until they became the status quo and then the Germans had it bad, and then the Dutch, and then the Puerto Ricans, etc….

What is new is that the entire country’s demographic is an offense to entrenched sensibilities. Conservative die-hards think Americans have cooties. They act like that too. They have no idea who to vote for. They probably wont vote.

We are in as dangerous a time for our Union as we were in the civil war. Then, we could simply set up a line of cannon then, and the conservatives would line up and march right into the field of fire, and we’d win. (every battle ended up that way. Yankee cannon became rebel magnets).

Now, however, the conservatives have foreign powers on their side. The Confederacy begged England 2 fight for them, you know. (Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation shot that down quick. Notice how justice kills tyranny, fascism, and evil?)

Conservatism is aligned with Global Oil. (read saudi royal family).

Do you trust the Saudis with our consitution? Our army?

I dont. I dont trust Wooten any further than I can wipe my behind with his column everyday, (you have to wet the newspaper first).

The masses will be without fuel, without food, and without shelter. We will be herded and driven like Kurds. Put on reservations, (without casinos). Unless we elect one of our own.

Fortunately Mr. Wooten, for the good of the country and the world you may be proven very wrong. How is it that republicans don’t see what they are doing and have done to this country. Gas and groceries are outrageous, the economy sucks and the only people that won’t acknowledge a recession are the ones in control, the Republican White House….Are you people living under a rock or should I say your own Stone Mountain.

And everyone talks of these polls that are always being taken who are you calling your own family members, no one has ever called and asked me what I think or who I will vote for and why. I think that the republican media just answers their own polls and never polls anyone.

So with that said, here’s my answer to your next poll, Anybody BUT a republican in ‘08, but my preference iS OBAMA….

By hillbilly ragger

As for the main topic of Wooten’s piece, well yeah. GA will probably go to McCain. The GOP will rally their base by claiming (falsely, as always) that the Democratic candidate is “pro-abortion”, and that if you don’t vote GOP you’ll make Jesus cry.

But it won’t be a 17 point margin as in 2004; http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ currently projects the McCain margin at 8.1 points, and that sounds about right.

NO WAY IN HELL that America is going to elect a black commie pinko ISLAMAFACIST animal to the White House. Its called the WHITE house for a reason. Only white CHRISTIAN AMERICAN men have the qualifications, the demeanor, the faith and the experience to be President. Osama is neither a CHRISTIAN, an AMERICAN or of the RIGHT skin color or political temperment to be elected to the office of President. The Defeatocrats, the anti-American leftist political party of the “that-time-of-the-month” feminine bleeding and year-round itching and odor, just doesn’t have what it takes to get into the WHITE house! McCain’s 10+ point advantage in polls is just a reflection that Americans have decided that its time to get down to business and have stopped “MONKEYING” around with the likes of BaRAT Hussein Osama. Ramadan is over. Demoncrap party black muslim extremism loses out big to homegrown Christian/American Patriotism in November!

Crying about taxes during a time of war is tantamount to treason.

I agree that the Republicans probably don’t deserve a third term and they should be taught a lesson, but, my God, this is not the time to teach them that lesson and Obama is not the candidate to elect. An Obama presidency would be horrible, just horrible - it’s inconceivable that anyone would think this would be good for America. Let’s just get through one more term with a Republican president, then consider a change in the future. Hopefully, Obama will just slither away after this year and never be considered a serious candidate ever again.

CHANGE ‘08,

Yes, both parties have done little in the last 40+ years to ease our dependence on foreign oil.

So now the cost of fuel for the trucks and trains that deliver our goods are going up, little surprise there.

So, what will BHO do? Nothing. The trains need diesel or electricity to run, well BHO will not drill for more oil, will not support coal, gas or nuclear power plants. So where will we get the power to run our supply infrastructure?

The no drilling mantra from Congress has gotten us no where. We not only import oil, but refined petro products.

Imagine how we look to the oil exporters. Here we have a nation with massive amounts of energy, but we will not use it. We have more oil than we can refine, but we won’t refine more. We tell the exporters we don’t want to dirty up our views of the ocean, we don’t want to create more jobs, we don’t want windmills off Martha’s Vineyard(Teddy is opposed to the windmills)

The democratic “NO” seems to be working. No to improvements, no to innovation, no to cutting down on foreign imports. Yes to taxing profits, yes to socializing medicine, yes to socializing the oil industry, yes to not letting you keep your money, someone has to pay for all this. Keep it up and we won’t survive.

Okay, Justice lovers listen up. Look at the tone of Wooten’s column lately. If they really believed their own phony polls, (showing McCain with a lead anywhere has got to be a lie), then they would write with more confidence.

Instead, they are writing like frightened little baby bunnies. They know they’re going to get creamed.

They can phony up the polls all they want. Truman. Remember truman in 1948. A monster had come out of World War 2. MacArthur. Mac was the most dangerous man our republic had ever seen. He came close to dooming america to endless war with chinese communists. It was a damn near thing, too. Only there was this ridiculous little democrat who stood in his way. He was a funny looking, harmless little turtle of a man. A david against mac’s goliath.

Then a peculiar thing happened that saved the world: Truman’s wife fancied herself an opera singer, and actually performed arias from Mozart’s “Figaro” in front of the entire congress. Well, just like in the movie, which came first, “Citizen Kane”, the diva took a dive. It was a social catastrophe, and the Washington post reviewer was cruel in his restraint in the morning’s review. Truman fired off a letter, like a comment in a blog today, which actually threatened to punch the reviewer in the nose. The Post printed that letter and Truman was the laughing stock of the country.

Now, all this was occuring when MacArthur was waving his fist at Chairman Mao, and insisting we nuke China, oh, just a couple of nukes is all we’ll need, maybe three or four, but no more than ten, for sure, and china will see things our way, and Korea will be united under the flag of democracy.. Hooray!

Truman, needing a miracle to save his lame duck presidency, fired MacArthur in a move that Tailgunner Joe called “treason”. After the ticker tape parade, the Monster was gone. Macarthur just faded away….

Just like conservatism will do: Just fade away. Conservatism has become our military arm, at least the contracting and funding part of our military, so, in a sense, conservative are soldiers, and they must now just…..fade…….AWAY!!!!

Obama’s Voting Record Complicates His Shift to Political Center

In 2005, his first full year in the U.S. Senate, Obama earned 100 percent ratings from the AFL-CIO labor federation and Americans for Democratic Action, according to Congressional Quarterly. Those ratings were 93 percent and 95 percent in 2006. Obama also favored restoring habeas corpus rights to suspected terrorists, while opposing the confirmations of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts, and a constitutional amendment prohibiting flag burning. Obama, who has campaigned as a politician who can bridge partisan divides, voted with his party an average of 96.7 percent in his three full years in the U.S. Senate, according to Congressional Quarterly.

Raising taxes on corporations, raising taxes on households of the so-called “rich” who make over $250,000/yr, etc. etc. Yep, stifle corporate growth and stifle investment by the private sector. Watch jobs REALLY disappear and be replaced with government dependence and intervention. Just what the dirty far loon left wants for this nation. What an absolute phony.

And only a phony is delusional enough to even think he’ll get a Southern state besides Democrat KKK Byrd’s West Virginia. But, there are dumb people in the South who vote Democrat and depend on government just like everywhere else in this nation, so go figure.

And as a cherry on top, the communist parties and Che worshipers in this nation have endorsed Obamania for el presidential. Frauds.

The Zogby Interactive online survey also shows Libertarian Candidate Bob Barr shaping up as a substantial factor in this year’s election, pulling 6 percent of the vote. (He was substantially outperforming then-Green Party candidate Ralph Nader at a similar point in the 2000 campaign)

The poll was conducted June 11-30 among more than 46,000 likely voters.

If the election were held today, Obama would win 273 electoral votes, enough to hand him the presidency, according to Zogby’s tally. McCain would receive 160 electoral votes, leaving 105 up for grabs. Obama is the choice of 44 percent of voters surveyed, compared to 38 percent who prefer McCain. Other projections, like the one being maintained at FiveThirtyEight.com, have Obama winning with as many as 308 electoral votes.

Pollster John Zogby said Barr “could really hurt McCain’s chances,” pointing to the former Georgia Republican’s 7 percent support among conservative or very conservative voters, 43 percent support from libertarians and 11 percent showing with independents.

Liberal gadfly Nader, now running as an Independent, is polling at less than 2 percent in the latest survey.

Obama’s campaign has been paying attention to Barr, saying he could help them in states like Alaska and Georgia.

Most observers blamed Nader for siphoning votes from Gore in 2000, especially in Florida, handing the White House to George W. Bush.

The Zogby poll released Monday shows Barr is now well outperforming Nader at a similar point in the 2000 campaign. A June 2000 Zogby poll showed Nader receiving about 2 percent of the vote, just a third of Barr’s level of support.

Be afraid, Georgia knuckle-draggers. Be very afraid.

American War,

Wake up, don’t try to show off your Georgia history education. Truman never ran against MacArthur, and MacArthur’s demand that we pursue the Korean war into China would have been a disaster.

And in 1952, the Republicans had a choice, The Supreme Commander in Europe or the Supreme Commander in the Pacific. Personally I liked Ike. MacArthur was a bit too imperial for me.

You miss the point, dumbas-s socialist lib. It’s not Obama’s money to “sacrifice.” It’s the PEOPLE’S money. Let the PEOPLE decide what to do with THEIR money. You liberal fascists on the loon left are pathetic.

Ever notice how the loon left has become more angry, more fascist, more domineering, more vitriolic, and just flat out more moonbatty over the last few months? I wonder what the jackals on the left are going to do with themselves when McCain wins after Obama gets exposed for who he really is. Commit mass suicide let’s hope.

Conservatives can phony up the polls all they want. Truman. Remember truman in 1948. A monster had come out of World War 2. MacArthur. Mac was the most dangerous man our republic had ever seen. He came close to dooming america to endless war with chinese communists. It was a damn near thing, too. Only there was this ridiculous little democrat who stood in his way. He was a funny looking, harmless little turtle of a man. A david against mac’s goliath.

Then a peculiar thing happened that saved the world: Truman’s wife fancied herself an opera singer, and actually performed arias from Mozart’s “Figaro” in front of the entire congress. Well, just like in the movie, which came first, “Citizen Kane”, the diva took a dive. It was a social catastrophe, and the Washington post reviewer was cruel in his restraint in the morning’s review. Truman fired off a letter, like a comment in a blog today, which actually threatened to punch the reviewer in the nose. The Post printed that letter and Truman was the laughing stock of the country.

Now, all this was occuring when MacArthur was waving his fist at Chairman Mao, and insisting we nuke China, oh, just a couple of nukes is all we’ll need, maybe three or four, but no more than ten, for sure, and china will see things our way, and Korea will be united under the flag of democracy.. Hooray!

Truman, needing a miracle to save his lame duck presidency, fired MacArthur in a move that Tailgunner Joe called “treason”. After the ticker tape parade, the Monster was gone. Macarthur just faded away….

Just like conservatism will do: Just fade away. Conservatism has become our military arm, at least the contracting and funding part of our military, so, in a sense, conservative are soldiers, and they must now just…..fade…….AWAY!!!!

Bob Barr may be 2008’s Ross Perot. I have not seen any accurate polling data regarding Georgia, but would guess that it will still sway for McCain, though closer than in 2004.

My friend Jbmlaw gets in his not-so-subtle dig on my friends to the left of me, positing that there will be an absence of analysis. I would point him, however, to the column to which we are responding. The “no, he can’t” and strawman argument was attempted by Sen. Kerry; it doesn’t work.

Finally, while I should not take joy in the misfortune of others, I could not suppress a small squeal of delight at the article today where the leaders of Milton complain about how goshdarn difficult it is to provide superior services cheaply.

As I used to tell anyone in North Fulton who would listen when they talked of incorporation, be careful what you wish for. Those of us who are somewhat familiar with Fulton politics and taxation over the years know that the property taxes collected on the mansions in North Fulton do not greatly exceed (if at all) the revenues collected from Fulton Industrial Blvd. Thus, by telling Fulton County to shove off, Sandy Springs, Milton, Johns Creek, etc., have cut off their noses to spite their faces. Somehow I don’t see the residents of Windward or Country Club of the South volunteering to allow warehouses and heavy trucks on Old Milton to make up for the lost revenue from Fulton Industrial.

Mr. Wooten is exemplifying exactly what is wrong with American politics. He (Wooten) is displaying a cynicism that says that elections are all about polling data and have nothing do do with leadership or statesmanship. How about giving Obama some credit for coming down to Georgia and asking people for their vote? Will he win in GA? Probably not. But at least he is showing enough respect for Georgians to let them know that he’d appreciate their support. Obama, McCain, Barr and Nader should all be in GA campaigning.

Georgia has always been 20 years behind the rest of the country — and Wooten is right — Obama won’t win the state in November.

Not because he’s a democrat, but because he’s black and the GOP will play the race card — why? It works.

Although he’ll lose in Georgia, he’ll win the election. Why? Because the rest of the country is not Georgia and they are ready for a non-white male to be President.

Ah, Georgia’s fine education system shines through.

It was Truman’s daughter, not his wife, who was the aspiring singer, and that had little to do with election results.

And firing MacArthur was an act of courage, not an act of political desperation. MacArthur was extremely popular.

Finally, Truman’s victory over Dewey should not have been a surprise. It was so to many of the ignorant purely because all the pollsters were using telephone polls to predict the election outcome. And guess who could afford most of the telephones? Yep! Wealthier Republicans, most of them Dewey supporters.

By Anyone But Obama July 8, 2008 9:06 AM Let’s just get through one more term with a Republican president, then consider a change in the future.

Anyone, what future? The country is a mess. Have you been following the stock market, the housing market (when the construction industry collapses, it all follows eventually), unemployment, the price of gas, food, the health care situation?

Perhaps you are one of those fortunate enough to retire before your company kicked you out ‘just in time,’ thus retaining your insurance and benefits.

Or, perhaps you have a trust fund. Any child should carefully pick their parents, ensuring that a trust fund or a decent inheritance will come available to them, before deciding to be born.

Or, perhaps you are fortunate enough to be in a job (blue collar or professional) that will probably not be effected by the continuing downward plunge in the economy. Physicians and Federal Government workers come to mind.

As a very conservative person, the only folks playing the race card is the Democrats, again.

It is a very popular thing for the Democrats to do. It almost guarantees a story in the AJC and it makes them look righteous.

Most folks with some education and real life experiences have grown past any notion that races is anything but a minor item. In todays society we see all ranges of skin pigmentation from pasty mid-towners to the darkest that India, Australia or Africa can offer.

So that’s what IKE realized when he reviewed Truman’s presidency. Ike thought deeply about things when he was president. He realized that if Dewey had won in ‘48, then when MacArthur was calling publicly for the use of nuclear weapons against Red China, that Dewey, being from the conservative war machine, would not have stopped MacArthur.

This is almost proof of a God. Suppose a lunatic like MacArthur had gotten his wish. It’s unthinkable. Only one man available in politics could have had any chance of stopping him. Truman, behind in the polls by double digits on election night. (phony polls, like today)

That’s what IKE meant. He saw it. I just did too.

OMG! Conservatism is evil. With conservatism, and Iraq, we can expect the Mayan Calender to end in 2012, people. Conservatives could unleash their flying monkeys at any time.

Party. ParteeeeeeeY! You’ve dont have to fight for the right.

Just party, for tomorrow, the repudlickans will destroy the world. for their greed and nothing more. (and the fact that MacArthur proves all conservatives are sociopaths, lunatics, and self aggrandizing ne’er do wells.)

The fate of Julius Caeser proves that a republic can never tolerate a monarchy. One man should never have all the power. Nor should one party. there should always be oversight, checks and balances. A governing triumvirate was working, until the supreme court committed mass treason and annointed Bush as our prez. That wasn’t in the founding brochure! I dont think americans understand what a radical act the 2000 election was. Listen to Scalia’s explanation about the supreme courts role in Bush’s victory. I’ve never heard more frightening words. He said all the wrong things.

If I were elected prez, I would publicly demand that the entire 2000 supreme court resign. I’d appoint unsold justices in their stead.

If I were elected, I’d tax all income over 50 million dollars at 90%. No man should have any more money per year than that. Sorry, fatcats, this is a country, not a golf resort.

if I were elected, I’d give healthcare to the unhealthy. Education to the uneducated. Roads and bridges to the unpaved and crumbling pathways.

I’d force the auto industry to make every car a hybrid. That should lower the price. SUV hybrids can get 30 mpg.

If I were elected I’d outlaw soft money, hard money, and all the money in between. We’d elect a prez on the basis of Public Television debates. Period.

The Lincoln/Douglas debates proved that’s all you need: fair and honest debate!!!

While it’s a pretty long shot to think that Obama could win in Georgia the possibility exists. But of greater import is the simple fact that Obama is in Georgia, listening and hearing what we have to say. This forces McBush to actually work for a state that he’d ordinarily have been able to take for granted.

Since McBush has decided to break campaign finance laws the he helped author and the RNC is complicit in these illegalities it’s going to be an interesting year. Ultimately, you Republic’s are done for.

At the Democratic National Convention next month, we’re going to kick off the general election with an event that opens up the political process the same way we’ve opened it up throughout this campaign.

Barack has made it clear that this is your convention, not his.

On Thursday, August 28th, he’s scheduled to formally accept the Democratic nomination in a speech at the convention hall in front of the assembled delegates.

Instead, Barack will leave the convention hall and join more than 75,000 people for a huge, free, open-air event where he will deliver his acceptance speech to the American people.

It’s going to be an amazing event, and Barack would like you to join him. Free tickets will become available as the date approaches, but we’ve reserved a special place for a few of the people who brought us this far and who continue to drive this campaign.

If you make a donation of $5 or more between now and midnight on July 31st, you could be one of 10 supporters chosen to fly to Denver and spend two days and nights at the convention, meet Barack backstage, and watch his acceptance speech in person. Each of the ten supporters who are selected will be able to bring one guest to join them.

Make a donation now and you could have a front row seat to history:

https://donate.barackobama.com/convention

We’ll follow up with more details on this and other convention activities as we get closer, but please take a moment and pass this note to someone you know who might like to be there.

It will be an event you’ll never forget.

Thank you,

I’ll give BHO credit when he sits down and has a town meeting with Mr. McCain.

I’ll give BHO credit when he drops his Marxist views on industry.

I’ll give BHO credit when he goes to Iraq and comes back saying he is reassessing he stance on the War.

I’ll give BHO credit when he makes up his mind on the 2nd amendment.

With his recent swing toward the center, he is now almost as conservative as Hillary wanted us to believe.

At least with McCain, I may not agree with him on some issues, but I can understand a 23 year career in the military.

I’m not quite ready to let Chambliss’ lie, repeated by Wooten, just sit there unchallenged.

To repeat: Chambliss is claiming (and Wooten is blindly repeating it, even though he surely knows it’s made-up) that Obama’s tax proposal would adversely effect “600,000” Georgians.

Really?

According to the Wall Street Freekin’ Journal’s own Tom Herman:

“Today’s top rate on long-term capital gains on stocks, bonds, mutual fund shares and other securities typically is 15%. A “long-term” gain refers to the gain you make on an investment you’ve sold after having owned it for more than one year. Gains on investments you’ve owned for a year or less typically are subject to tax as ordinary income, with current rates ranging up to 35%.

“Sen. Obama proposes raising the 15% rate — but only for families making more than $250,000 a year. How high? That’s not yet clear. The adviser says the senator favors increasing it to about 20% or somewhat higher — but not above the 28% level it reached when Ronald Reagan was president. He also says the same rate would apply to most dividend income. “

Ok, Senator Chambliss, and you too, Jim—do you think there are 600,000 Georgians making over 250K/year who’ll fall into that category?

Really?

I am not retired nor did I have rich parents. Yes, I am paying a little more for certain products and services but am not particulary burdened by it and do not see the doom and gloom that you do.

OK Mommy. If you wish to see the country totally bankrupted, go ahead and vote for McCain.

I’m not so sure that wasn’t part of the initial objective. If we’re in debt (and we are), up to our REDNECKS, then nothing can be done for the American people.

But that’s OK. If that’s what y’all want. I say vote for McCain, re-enact the DRAFT, get rid of all means of transportation except one old clunker because that’s all you will be able to afford anyway.

You may have to quit your job, if you aren’t downsized first, which you probably will be, and take a job at the chicken plucking plant so the Head Of Your Home can drop you off on the way to his job at McDonalds. He’s being downsized from his breadwinning job with XYZ company, remember?

Or, possibly you are a Domestic Goddess who relies on someone else for your ground chuck and lettuce. No problem here either, continue your domestic duties and hubby can let you have the car after he returns home from work, so you can rush to the local Piggly Wiggly and pick up the maccaroni and cheese.

I’ve a feeling those who are able to accomplish the above will be the lucky ones.

Oh, and if you’re a Domestic Goddess you should have time to feed, water and care for a goat or a pig in your fenced in back yard. I am told MANY, MANY people did just that during the depression. Thank the Lord I wasn’t born until much later.

CommunistAJC,

To respond to just a few of your absurdities:

Isn’t ALL terrorism caused by Muslims?

A great deal of the current terrorism is related to extreme Muslims. A great deal is also committed by extreme Christians. Maybe the problem is RELIGION. The vast majority of Muslims both here and abroad don’t believe in terrorist acts since it’s against their faith. American citizens that happen to be Muslims, going to work, running their family businesses, going to church and living their lives were threatened and harrassed. That is anti-American.

I’m 100% fine with the FBI listening in on Muslims.

I almost feel sorry for those like you that wet their panties and cry that the sky is falling. Almost. If we surrender our rights and freedoms to the extent that you, Jim, Bush, Cheney and John McBush would have us do then will it really matter if another attack occurs? If the President that you support so heartily had acted on intel that the FBI already had in hand we might not even be discussing 9/11.

Obama is not a Muslim you just hate him because he’s smarter, better educated and not like you.

Wooten’s ignorance and outright stupidity is overwhelming. People change their minds based on the facts. He is not the president YET and I am certain that he will hold fast to his convictions when he is. Let’s talk about a man that says that we will be in Iraq for 100 years or alludes to fighting for oil. That’s okay because he is Republican which these days equals dishonest. We have lost over 4000 young people in a war that was forced on the American people based on a lie. Bush has made a mess of the economy but you have the audacity to talk about changing one’s mind. If Bush was a true American, he would have corrected his error and saved lives. But we are there now and created a situation where the world is in danger. The Middle East will be in turmoil unlike ever before if we leave now. Thanks, Right Wingers. If spreading democracy is now the basis for the war, why not go into Russia, China, North Korea, Vietnam or Cuba? Could it be because these nations can fight back? I voted for Bush but will not vote for the “Old Man” because the rationale of the right is so pathetic.

Mr. Wooten,

Your article is deeply slanted and false. First, you mention that Obama is the candidate of “symbolism and empty phrases.” In fact, Obama used to be criticized for being too policy wonkish, intellectual, and therefore substantive. Second, you criticize his energy plans, but fail to mention that he has been a lot more honest on energy than John McCain. McCain’s solution to America’s energy crisis boils down to a gas tax holiday (a total gimmick), a $300 million prize for a battery (another gimmick), and offshore drilling (which won’t even come into effect for 10 years, and only reduce prices by 2%).

I know that you’re conversative, Mr. Wooten, but if you claim to espouse common sense, then please use some.

Sorry Mr Wooten, but I suspecgt you are whistling past the graveyard this election cycle.

Granted, the elections always seem to tighten up in the last 30 days, but there is definitely a feeling of malaise in the nation - similar to what swept Reagan into the White House. When the polls are dramatically stating in very high numbers the general population is dissatisfied with the direction of the country, how can anyone think that anything less than an absolute advertising lynching will sway the voters. Of course, the GOP is REALLY GOOD at negative campaigns, so we’ll be seeing everything they’ve got being thrown at Obama.

I’m an Independent voter. The GOP has only bad ideas, and the Dems have no ideas. But this time around, I have to say Obama seems to be the better choice. McCain has been in the Senate for alot of years now, so he’s got a large papertrail with many soundbites to use by the Obama folks.

It’s going to be one ugly fight - I just hope the candidates realize that we want ideas and not more of the divisive nastiness that has practically crippled our great nation.

One key is that even if Obama doesn’t take GA, his challenge here forces McCain to fight for normally secure votes.

Every four years, the Democratic Party assembles a platform that outlines the party’s position on a number of issues.

Traditionally, the drafting of the platform is not open to ordinary people.

This year, that’s going to change.

For two weeks in July, people all across America will hold Platform Meetings in their own communities to discuss the issues and share their input. The outcome of these meetings will be reviewed by the Drafting Committee as it creates the final Platform.

No political experience is required. Your thoughts and experiences are all that matter, and they will shape a platform that — like this campaign — is owned by the people.

Sign up to host or attend a Platform Meeting in your neighborhood:

http://my.barackobama.com/listening

This year, ordinary people like you will gather in their homes, community centers, places of worship, and even coffee shops to discuss the issues that matter to them and help decide what should be at the heart of the Democratic platform for change.

The input we get from these meetings will help shape the platform at the Democratic Convention in August.

Platform Meetings are a great way to connect with fellow supporters and help write the next chapter in the history of the Democratic Party.

We’ll make sure you have all the resources and support you need to succeed. All you need to provide are your ideas for America and your hunger for change.

To get started in your community, just log onto My.BarackObama.com and go to our Platform Meetings page. (If you don’t have a My.BarackObama.com account, creating one is simple and easy.)

Sign up to host or attend a Platform Meeting now:

I hope you’ll take advantage of this opportunity to make your voice heard in the political process.

Thank you for all that you do,

I admit those left-wing pansies make me madder than hell! But just because my objection may be less unpleasant than yours doesn’t make it any worse.

The Crusades were not started because Muslums killed 3000 christians. They were started because people believed that the end was near and that Jerusulem should be under christian control. Also, plain old-fashioned greed. The middle-east had gold, riches, etc and the Europeans wanted some of that for themselves. Beleive it, the crusades was not some “war on terror” or anything like that. It was self-rightous mentality on the part of the Europeans that savages like “Muslums” did not deserve the holy land.

an interesting footnote to History…

The greatest President in our History Abraham Lioncoln was noted as antislavery and our great nation went to civil war to fight for perceived liberty of their sides. His primary goal was to preseve the union and after completion of the war was to do his second goal shipping all African slaves back to their native country.

An assasins bullet changed the course of history of our country…..

Common knocker, the benefits of a GA public education, or lack thereof even have come through in you. The day congress authorizes drilling in the gulf or ANWR, is the day the price of a barrell of oil falls by $50. We don’t even have to drill, the speculation on increases in supply that will come about in 10 years will bring the price back down to reality.

How anyone can blame conservatives for the price of oil is beyond me. It is the environmental liberal freaks that have prevented building of refineries, building of nuclear powerplants and drilling for the last 30 years. Blame Pelosi, et al. I wonder what Harry Reids Las vegas constituency will say when the tourism, lights, and oil that city depends on for it’s livelihood run out? Will he change his mind?

CC,

Your juxtaposition is showing. On the one had you rail against Obama’s big planes and on the other you brag about your big SUV.

If Michelle Obama is still working then yes, she’s making more than $250K and yes, she’d pay more taxes. I believe that she has resigned her job in order to assist the campaign. Your mind is set and you’ll vote for the person of your choice, even if it’s against you own self interest. If you have daughters then you will bear the brunt of a McBush administration when they feel the pain caused by a truly mysogynistic President and his policies if elected. Sorry ‘bout that. You family will pay more for, well, pretty much everything if you elect an admitted economic nitwit. Sorry ‘bout that. If you have sons then I hope they don’t end up stuck in McBush’s next war but they will. Sorry ‘bout that.

Obama’s hope of winning the White House is a “fairy tale”.

Everything you think you own belongs to the U.S. corporation pledged as collateral against the national debt.

You cannot own anything. you are simply a tennant.

Your president pledges allegiance to the Queen of England and no one complains.

Why do you expect him to do anything for you when he has pledged to protect the Queen of England?

Do you realize that your country has been in a state of emergency ever since 1930 when your country filed for bankruptcy?

FDR Sold you out and all of you ran and turned in your gold to the bankers? what idiots.

Your legal system is based on the law for ships and vessels, yet you morons go to court everyday expecting justice when it is impossible.

What kind of crap is that?

Your taxes go to the UN and you espouse garbage such as paying “your fair share of tax.”

Your politicians are your enemy they work for the U.S. corporation not for the people. Their goal is to simply screw you.

The U.S. Corporation based in D.C. Thanks you for your complacency during the past 80 years and looks forward to your annual checks and eventual demise.

Reverend Wright? You bling right wingers want to keep talking about him. Let me share some things with you. Most of you have never been to a Black church where you might here messages like that from time-to-time. Why? Because the older pastors, like Reverend Wrignt, grew up in segregated America and are still angry. He was in the Armed Forces and came back to a country that belittled their service by making them go in back doors, use separate water fountains and wait generations to honor Black pilots who protected White bomber pilots. I watched many Black men die belittled, angry and broken. Yeah, you honor America because you stood on the backs of minorities to enjoy all it has to offer. Many Black men and women are angry because of the way they’ve been treated but you expect that all to be forgotten in the name of patriotism. Why don’t you wake up and dignify what has been done by many of you to perpetuate a system that penalizes people by color and class. Many of the more ignorant point to the few that have made it as an indication of how far we have come and you are right. But there a many more that are still suffering at the hands of the right wing mentality. Just like many of you have maintained the mentality of generations past, it is going to take generations of minorities to get over what has been done. America is a wonderful country but don’t dare act that we have arrived with regard to how many of its citizens are being treated. And to my friend cc, I must say that you are one of the more superficial individuals who posts on this medium. Obama’s plane carries equipment, the media and security. What does that have to do with anything anyway? And if you want to continue to drive your gas guzzler then you are a part of the problem but that is your right. You don’t want to volunteer, that is your right as well. I just hope that you aren’t one of those Bible thumping Christians who hears about helping “the least of these” and does nothing about. I don’t know about you but I would love for my taxes to go down and the only way that is going to happen is if and when we get the government out of the business of doing what we as citizens can do. Can you understand that? Probably not.

I have a son living in Bolivia for a year. He tells me that even the lowly Boliviano is gaining on the dollar. (Bolivia is the poorest country in South America.)

Since a Republican administration is responsible for this sorry state of affairs, what makes Wooten think that another Republican will change that?

In all fairness, the foundation for this meltdown was laid by pior Republicans before Bush, like Newt Gingrich and his gang, who obstructed every attempt to start working on issues that are bringing the country down now. It is fitting that a Republican has inherited the consequences of the short sighted energy and health policies of these prior Republicans.

Bush called him a Flip Flopper……..but hey we got attacked by Bin Ladden, so we attack another country, and where is Bin Ladden Today?

Talk about Flip Flopping wow……. is there any bigger example of a flip flop?

Can you imagine what the Right would say about a Democratic President who would have behaved as Bush did……

What if a Democratic President let Bin Ladden go, then let his whole family fly out of the US after 911…..and then attacked another country with “Faulty Intelligence” ….can you imagine what the Right’s would say about that ?

How about the national debt ?

How about the Economy, or price of oil ?

What if all this stuff happened during the time of a Democratic President ?

Today we have a guy who has wasted millions of American dollars by crashing many jets, and causing an accident on a aircraft carrier killing many Americans………… then he got shot down, because he was a poor pilot, and then he was captured……..

But he is like most Republicans. When they are alone with their white Republican friends, they use the N-word to describe black people. That’s just who they are.

The Republican party will soon learn a harsh lesson. In November, Americans will vote to strip Republicans of all power in our Federal government. Soon, the new Justice Department will begin prosecutions of corrupt and criminal Republicans. They will be sentenced to prison, and some will likely be condemned.

It will be harsh, but necessary. I look forward to President Obama lancing the disgusting boil of racist American Republicanism, and by God’s grace it will be banished from our nation forever.

Yeah, who would have thought voting for Bush would have been a vote for a liberal Democrat sans tax cuts and war against real enemies? That said, you’ll find out how much GA Republicans show up when they realize the allternative this November. The Neocomms in modern liberalism like Obama don’t have a chance, and that’s why they are telling him to steer towards the center.. Too bad he’s got a congressional vote record, and much, much more that will be exposed [without the help of the mainstream media mind you].

Why CommunistAJC,

you should know the answer to that one, Gore didn’t win because W’s brother Jeb fixed Florida for him. It’s funny how the only voter problems were in Palm Beach County, where the Bush’s have residence, by the way. And I was in Tallahassee at the time, and I saw hundreds of African Americans kept away from the voting booths. I don’t think they were there to vote for Bush.

We are still in Iraq because we are still hunting for oil. Since Osama Bin Laden, you know, the one responsible for 9/11, is not there, we aren’t there for retailiation, but just to secure our current administrations own interest. Also, the reason Obama is changing his tune is because he is a politician. That is what politicians do. He wants votes, period. Then when in office, he will do whatever he damn well pleases. Just like Bush. I remember that Bush in 2000 said that the environmental issues would be a cornerstone of his platform. Funny! I will not defend Obama to you because although I am a lefty, I am not an Obama supporter.

It’s pretty rich that you claim liberals are trying to re-write the constitution. That almost made me fall off my chair laughing so hard. When you righty’s say that it is always over the 2nd amendment and guns. Ok, thats our one, but what about the current administrations bombardment on our Bill of Rights? So far the 4th amendment is meaningless, the first is being infringed on and the eighth, well they might as well throw that one out the window. But you are right, conservatives don’t re-write it. They just ignore it.

With the expected Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate, we ought to to expect legislative success, including overriding vetoes, for any progressive causes — with or without Obama.

I ask TW, in particular, and Democrats, in general, which of these principles and policies do you wish Obama, Pelosi, Reid, and Hoyer had not abandoned or betrayed: Faith based initiatives with public funding, Free trade adjusmtent, Iraq troop withdrawal timeline, Retroactive FISA immunity, Impeachment and censure, Campaign and election financing reform, Universal healthcare for all ages, Single payer healthcare, Class action fairness act, Women’s right of choice?

When you’re finished lying to yourself about them, tell me who really has their head stuck up their butt. With Obama as president, we will not get any of these — read his equivocations and reversals.

This Democratic Cabal (Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Dean) is more dangerous than having McCain as President with strong Democratic majorities under the Dome.

Cheney realized that if Rummy had attacked and destroyed OBL and Al Queda, then no golden age of the war machine contractors would be possible, and no trillions to be earned by the handful of Cheney cronies and Saudi Puppetmasters.

Being Muslim does not automatically make you a terrorist. These two things do not always go hand in hand. Many Muslims are not radical nutcases. They just choose to believe in a differnt salvation.

Have any of you that claim that terrorist and Muslim are synonymous ever met a Muslim? I am betting not. I have met several. From Pakistan, Lebanon, Morrocco, Iran. Not one of these gentlemen even agreed with the radical Muslims and felt they had misinterpreted the Quaran.

My Uncle is Muslim. He is the sweetest man I have ever met. He just became an American citizen in November 2004 and then promply voted… for BUSH.

The political discourse in this country and especially this state is like a UGA/Tech football rivalry game-no facts, just emotional appeals.

Obama is liberal. There is no way around that. McCain is somewhere in between. Obama thinks that we need to find money somewhere to pay for our obligations (raise taxes on a targeted group). McCain believes that we can grow our way out of our economic mess. The only time in the last 50 years that we have had a budget surplus was during the Clinton presidency, where tax rates were slightly higher. Unless McCain is willing to cut social programs deeply (SS and Medicare), then the next president will have to raise taxes. That’s a fact. No matter Rep or Dem, if we want to exist with a balanced budget, we will have to cut one or both of those programs or raise taxes. It’s that plain and simple.

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney’s office pushed for major deletions in congressional testimony on the public health consequences of climate change, fearing the presentation by a leading health official might make it harder to avoid regulating greenhouse gases, a former EPA officials maintains. ADVERTISEMENT

When six pages were cut from testimony on climate change and public health by the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last October, the White House insisted the changes were made because of reservations raised by White House advisers about the accuracy of the science.

But Jason K. Burnett, until last month the senior adviser on climate change to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Stephen Johnson, says that Cheney’s office was deeply involved in getting nearly half of the CDC’s original draft testimony removed.

Peter and Ostrich,

Are you one and the same? Congress led by Democrats has repeatedly stalled on funding the military. The Commander In Chief was very concerned because he could not get Congress to pass the war funding bill. The President’s plans were BLOCKED by Congress.

Now that is what I said and that is specific. Congress waited until the very last minute to pass anything. All that to insult the President by insulting the troops.

You two seemingly cannot understand or stay on one subject. Start the name calling. That is the best that you can do.

Jonah Goldberg, had this to say about the South today:

“The story of the South’s sloughing off of racism and its movement into the GOP fold, is one of the most egregiously under-told and distorted tales of modern political history… . The bigotry aimed at the South never ceases to amaze me. Indeed, it is astounding to me how the left tells us we need to understand the nuance of, say, the Jihadi mind in all of its shades of gray, but when it comes to the voting habits of law-abiding white North Carolinians all you need to know is that if a white hand pulls a lever for a Republican politician, that hand must be attached to a racist.”

So there you go liberal fascist morons.

Well Jim, it’s now official. OBAMA HAS SPOKEN.

The surge is working.

When our troops, in harms way, needed the confidence that only a CIC can bestow, this is what OBumbler had to offer:

“We cannot impose a military solution on what has effectively become a civil war. And until we acknowledge that reality, uh, we can send 15,000 more troops; 20,000 more troops; 30,000 more troops. Uh, I don’t know any, uh, expert on the region or any military officer that I’ve spoken to, uh, privately that believes that that is gonna make a substantial difference on the situation on the ground.”

But when HIS political a$$ is left flapping in the breeze, and his personal ambitions need a surge ahead, this is what he has to say:

“If current trends continue and we were in a position where we continue to see reductions in violence and stabilization and continue to see some improvements on the part of the Iraqi Army and the Iraqi police, then my hope could be that we could draw down in a deliberate fashion in consultation with the Iraqi government at a pace that is determined in consultation with General Petraeus and the other commanders on the ground.”

HIS HOPE……..his hope.

What about our troops’ hope that their efforts and successes would be acknowledged?

This guy’s a real loser. He doesn’t have what it takes to be Commander in Chief.

While I respect your opinion, I suggest that you carefully listen to those of us who vote rather than the Lobbyists, when making your predetermination as to whether Senator Obama has a chance to win in Georgia. If you don’t think the economy is the key issue in this election, then you are sorely mistaken.

I can tell you that, as taxpayers, we will no longer tolerate being taken for granted by Washington. I can assure you that there is nothing that can be told to the American public that will convince us that Republicans or Lobbyists are doing anything in our best interests, whether it be fuel speculation, health care, or social security. Any Politician who thinks otherwise will be in for a rude awakening come Fall elections.

You can be rest assured that while we all understand that there were natural disasters, like the hurricanes, that may have driven the costs of fuel upward, the wars are another issue. It is obvious to the American public that the ones who have benefited financially from those actions are the oil companies, which, coincidentally, are right out of the current Administration’s back yard. If Senator McCain wants to talk about National Security, he better darn well be prepared to talk about why we really went into war and who has really benefited the most from it…

The oil companies have been making obscene profits all the while, and in our mind, the energy speculators have been driving the prices up. Couple those factors with our economy being in a recession, meaning our dollar is worth less so the cost of a barrel of crude costs us more per barrel, Arab countries and China sucking our economy dry, health care in chaos, home in foreclosure, and our jobs being farmed out, and at this point, we have all had enough.

The American people are sick and tired of being taken for granted and we aren’t going to take it anymore. Don’t tell me Senator Barack Obama doesn’t have a chance to win in Georgia.

I have voted Republican for several elections in a row. This year will be different for me and most of my family and friends. And just for the record, I am a learned man, graduating from Law School, a Caucasian, and residing in Cobb County.

Perhaps, Tommy, you are one of the mindless sheep. I can assure you, sir, that I am not mindless, and I am not a follower.

The United States has gone from a huge surplus to one of the greatest deficit in the history of the country over the past 7 1/2 years, under the Republican watch.

We have seen our jobs decrease by the millions while countless other Americans lose their homes. Our Servicemen and Women, whom the President and Congress has put into harms way have been welcomed back into the United States with a lack of medical care or financial support. Our health care and social security systems are down the toilet and the only people who are seeing anything positive during the Republicans current time in the White House are the wealthy and the Corporations.

If you think for one minute that the American public are mindless sheep, then you have grossly underestimated the temperament of what is happening today across our fair land.

While I have been blessed with having the opportunity of being able to have a chance for an education that was not afforded to most Americans, and thus enjoy a greater lifestyle than most, I am in no way less offended by the way the Republicans have abused their position of power over the past several years and am ready to see to it that my children have a better life than what lies ahead if we continue down the path that is currently ahead of us.

Moron Jim said: Obama’s positions on taxes, his desire to substantially grow government, his opposition to exploration for new domestic supplies of oil and worries about his national security credentials make him unelectable in Georgia.

For once Moron Jim has it right. Georgia is too full of ignorant, backward, redneck, inbred, bigoted, moralistic, relioNazis for anyone with a progressive view to ever be electable. Just look at Saxby Chambliss, a prototypical old guard, Jim Crow, redneck if there ever was one. I’ll bet he still has his Klan robes and hood tucked away somewhere so he can go visit his neighbors. Johnny Isakson represents the nouveau-riche of GA. He got rich stealing land from dirt poor farmers and selling at inflated prices. Steal from the poor to make himself rich speaks volumes about his character. As a Senator he has been a go-alone for the racist Chambliss and a loyal Bush toadie. No independent thought required.

Georiga is going to pay the price when Obama and the Democrats take over in 2008. I’m quite sure there is some payback waiting in the wings of Congress particularly for Chambliss who is reviled by Democratic Senators. I’m sure Saxby’s office will be somewhere very unpleasant - like the basement. So Georgia, continue to vote for these idiots and watch what happens. I’ll be laughing my butt off.

Well, if you live a few years and open your eyes, you will see that is almost never true. McCain has a track record that is consistent. He has experience. He is a war hero. His family has served and continue to serve this country. Contrary to ignorant belief, he is NOT a Bush. Contrary to ignorant belief, “the grass is not always greener on the other side”. Contrary to ignorant belief, “change just for the sake of change” is not an intelligent way to make a choice. Contrary to ignorant belief, “raising taxes is NOT going to help a struggling economy”. Contrary to ignorant belief, the republicans are not single handedly responsible for ANYTHING…there are too many players in Washington for any one party or person to be able to be held responsible these days. Open your eyes…evaluate the candidates on their experience, record, and honor…not on their skin color (or you are a racist)…and you’ll find there is only one candidate in the major two parties. The other candidate is a snake oil salesman in the classic sense. Obama has done almost nothing that would help us as President…elect that and you are going to be witnessing ignorance in the Whitehouse who will do what he can to raise your taxes during recession, flip flop as the political winds blow, is NOT ready on day one, and who is barely qualified. Compare that to an established political veteran with a consistent track record, decorated war hero, classic American, experienced and honorable. If change for the sake of change is good, then let’s see how much you like raised taxes during recession…see if you like the change of us NOT being attacked on our soil since 911…I’m not sure change is always good…but you just follow your democratic leaders instead of thinking for yourself like a good little socialist.

Think for yourself. Don’t vote for a party…vote for the best person for the job…there is only one experienced, consistent, honorable choice. Don’t hold his skin color against him you racists wiggers.

Do you really think that anyone with any sense of balanced new coverage is going to believe anything written in a column called “Thinking Right”.

Your days are over, you right-wingers and neo-cons. Our poor world is littered with your selfish, incompetent policy failures. Take your meds, get some rest and make way for a new generation

Georgia is definately in play for Obama. As the economy tanks, food and gas prices go out of sight and McBush continues to flip-flop proclaiming failed Republlican solutions, the public will realize that new leasership is mandatory. It doesn’t take long for folks to react when they’re getting club over the head.
