It's almost over, thank god.

Well, it's almost over folks. Looks like the messiah will be our next president. Is this a good thing? No, not at all. Will I open a vein and let myself bleed out if he wins? No. It will just be a shame. Here's a man who is a socialist at heart. Someone who aligns himself more with the culture of France than the culture of the U.S. Will we the people survive it? Yes, we survived FDR and LBJ although we are still paying big time for their socialist programs. Obama will just throw a few more of these types of programs onto the heap. The people will have enough of it though. Maybe in four years but most likely in 8 years. In 8 years any good conservative republican will take back the white house and conservatives will take back congress. The people will by then see what socialism is doing to this country. One can only hope that the democratic congress and the soon to be democratic white house doesn't do too much damage until then.

The media demands that Obama win this election and so it will probably happen. People always complain about the liberal media but you would have to be real dunce to deny it today. Just look at the facts. The bottom of McCain's ticket has more experience then the top of Obama's ticket. You hear the media blast away at Palin for her inexperience but the fact is she has more experience than Obama. She has held executive positions, actually ran a state while all Obama has done was be a Illinois state senator in a very corrupt democratic machine in Chicago. Since he has become a U.S. senator all he has ever done was run for president. How can this disparity be overlooked by the media? It's isn't being overlooked. It is being blatantly ignored. The press is also being very good at pushing the notion that if you are against Obama or any of his programs than you are a racist. I have read stories about how kids who wear McCain/Palin tee shirts that they are being disruptive to the school and they cannot wear them. Obama shirts of course are not disruptive and the kids can wear those.
People who have McCain/Palin bumper stickers are getting their cars keyed and damaged. One person in Florida had his car scratched with the initials KKK because he had a McCain/Palin bumper sticker on it. It is not politically incorrect to vote for McCain. The media has told us so.

Look at what the media and the Obama campaign has done to this "joe the plumber" guy. He had the audacity to say that the dem's tax plan would hurt him if he bought the plumbing business he works for. The media went after him big time. They declared that Joe didn't even have a plumbers license ignoring the fact that he works for a plumbing business and he doesn't even have to have one. Only the plumbing business owner has to have one and he does. They blasted him saying he doesn't make 250k a year. He never claimed he did. He only said he was thinking of maybe buying the business and then after he did so he would probably make more than 250k. They tore that poor guy apart exposing every little thing about him. Take note people. This is what will happen on a large scale if Obama wins. If anyone dares speak badly about him or his programs they will go after you and tear you apart with the media's help of course.

Do I think it's a given that Obama will win? No. McCain could still win but it doesn't look like it. I think the polls are closer than the media is portraying. They want everyone to think that the election is a done deal. They keep saying Obama is a lock. I can only hope this backfires on them. If Obama gets to cocky and starts naming cabinet members before he is even elected this could hurt him come election day.

We will see.

I guess the GOP has confirmed the saying 'desperate times call for desperate measures'. In regards to Palin, McCain lost the election as soon as he announced his running mate. You speak of her experience, yet she has no clue in regards to the constitutional duties and responsibilities of the VP office. She thinks the VP is in charge of the Senate!

wths74--- :roll: Wink Take a breath my Brother. I remember years ago we would all go to the Court House and watch the returns on the T.V.'s. There were refreshments, etc. I have friends in all walks of life, with different political views, but we'd all have a good time. I've seen a lot of Obama's signs in Libertville. As the old saying goes: "Let the best man win". We can agree to disagree and still have coffee together. Know what I mean?

Thanks but I don't need to take a breath. I am fine. I have already come to terms that Obama will probably win. I'm much older and wiser then when Clinton won his first term. I was much more upset about that win. In fact I still can't listen to "don't stop thinking about tomorrow" by Fleetwood Mac as that was the song they kept playing at Clinton's victory rally and I like Fleetwood Mac, I just can't listen to that song anymore as it brings up bad memories.
No, I will be fine. I still think its a shame he will probably win but if he does my life won't implode. I live and work with people that will vote for him. We have already done our arguing. I still love them, just like I still love my family and friends who are white sox fans :cry: .

I just think it's a big shame. Us conservative won't go away, I can tell you that. We will be watching him and his liberal cronies like hawks.

From Meet The Press:

Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, 'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.'We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from
disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disre spects20the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine'. Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America.

He scares the hell out of me. But, if he's as lousy as I suspect, he'll be a one term wonder.

That cannot be attributed to Obama. Do your research before believing everything that flies around on the internet, especially during the election season. Everyone here is too smart to fall for partisan tactics that only intend to slander the candiate or enflame the voters. A little bit of research on Snopes would show the origin of the piece you quoted.
Here is the link, look it up yourself.

Thanks for proving my point. If one is against Obama or his policies then they are "hate filled"

Sure that is probably some internet pablum against Obama but there is the same amount of crap against McCain out there also.

Thank you, Guest300- I stand corrected. I received this from someone who normally checks things out, so I was shocked to read it. (I also let him know it is untrue).

Jazmin- I'm not blinded by anything. I don't hate Obama- I just fear what he's going to do to this country.

I do not share WTHS 74's pessimism and think this election is over. I do not share the views , though mis-represented by our government,of many that the conditions of going to war and remaining in it are not one of the most important factors of the president elect. I believe we need a solution to end the war in Iraq. I believe a blanket end is the wrong move, also dishonors the many wonderful Americans that fought and died because our govt. put them in harms way.
End this war, yes. Do it smartly. Finish what we start and support a newfound democracy in a very unstable part of this world.
I am a Democrat that will support McCain. Obama is too far to the left to serve my views of the world, and lacks experience to lead the world. Also has never served my country in uniform!
On a lighter side, check this one out!
