barry obama is not left or right or center or a marxist. what barry is, is nothing. this is a made up, make-believe pumped up balloon with a face painted on it. and this balloon has bounced around plenty. with the anti-american demented racists wright and farrakhan, then with the whitest guys you know, the hedge fund crowd, and republican big business moguls, with arab money funders who have been supporting him for years and daley’s machine that is cheek and jowl with the chicago mob. most chicago citizens wonder why he isn’t in jail. he is surrounded by his thugs. and supported by media that is either drowning in bankruptcy or obsessed with ratings. frankly, he makes the skin creep. biden knows this guy is anything but a “candidate”,and that the obama balloon camouflages a textbook psycho. biden never looks like a man who wants to be vice-president, he looks more like a prisoner who prays to be to be airlifted out. in the debate, described his job as one in which he will sit with barry in every meeting (then quickly reminded us that he will not be the president). if joe biden has an ounce of patriotism he may decide to stand up finally before it’s too late for us. and if he has the guts, maybe he won’t shoot himself in the head.

Liz: You asked the question, then answered it. “When in the US did being Liberal start being a bad thing? ………. Because it certainly has, most noticeably since the stupidest Western leader ever, George W.Bush took power (and I mean ”took”) Ever notice how Sarah Palin’s dumb folksy language mimics his? It is utterly embarrassing. Bye, and good luck to all you right-wing, neo-con, absurd bigots. Glad I am not among you anymore.”
Good debate skills -about like Joe.

What people don’t understand is why some of us are so against the current Republican ticket, but we have an obligation to fight against history of ever being repeated again. Many of us out here are not fighting for the Democratic campaign but are fighting against an ideology.

1) An ideology that completely mirrors the ideology of this past 8 years.
2) An ideology that recognizes the few while completely disregarding the masses.
3) An ideology that believes in taking military action against Iraq, an incident that is completely unrelated to 9/11, without solidifying our claims beforehand. In the present, we have found no evidence of weapons of mass destructions or a tie to Osama Bin Laden. The devastation of this war has cost us over 4,000 of our brave troops and counting, over 1/2 trillion dollars of taxpayer’s money and counting, and over 1 million Iraqi lives unrelated to the terrorists or insurgency.

Cost of the Iraq War — http://www.nationalpriorities.org/costofwar_home

4) An ideology that still believes that the Iraq War is the right war on terrorism when the Afghanistan War should had been the right war on terrorism, where Osama Bin Laden actually was until he slipped into the mountains and into Pakistan’s territory now. The Iraq War also diverted our attention away from the Afghanistan War. We now have extended our resources in two separate places and have heightened our risk to our troops, our expenses, and creating another dilemma that will take quite some time to finalize. The Iraq War will not go away overnight and it is now our obligation to see it all the way through for God knows how many more years. This has also been the most unpopular war in the eyes of the world’s communities.
5) An ideology that believes that we are at our safest state since 9/11, when a recent terrorist plot was still trying to enter Great Britain’s airports with liquid explosives heading directly to us, but thankfully the plot was foiled. While in Afghanistan, the terrorists are regrouping and strengthening and we have recently suffered another high casualty to our troops yet again within this past month. We currently have the least amount of alliances in the world’s communities due to this unpopular Iraq War. True national securities are the ties that bind us to our world’s communities and the ties that bind them to us.
6) An ideology that vetted one of the most inexperience VP ticket in history, from foreign policies to national defense. If God forbids that anything happens to this President if elected and is stricken with illness, this VP will be running the country. For a more compelling look at Sarah Palin’s VP readiness, please look at these links below —

7) An ideology that believes in “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” while we are facing the highest mortgage foreclosure crisis, high unemployment rate, and the largest collapse of our financial infrastructures since The Great Depression of 1929.

This is an ideology that many of us in America are against. Whether this ideology is in the Republican or Democratic ticket is not the main issue but the fact is that America does not want to fall into another 4 more years of devastation. We cannot afford this anymore.

Krusty & Red Blooded American

This is a free form exchange of ideas. It’s not just attacking for attacking sake.

Many, in my opinion, on the left call us names. I don’t believe you’ll see that much coming from the right.

I have just read some of these posts. My God, so many of you are such bigots. I am ashamed reading these posts (knowing full well that mine will never be seen on this site). When in the US did being Liberal start being a bad thing? When did education, experience and intelligence become a liability in American politics? Because it certainly has, most noticeably since the stupidest Western leader ever, George W.Bush took power (and I mean ”took”) Ever notice how Sarah Palin’s dumb folksy language mimics his? It is utterly embarrassing. Bye, and good luck to all you right-wing, neo-con, absurd bigots. Glad I am not among you anymore.

John McCain BY NO MEANS won the debate. Good grief. And Sarah Palin lost MISERABLY the debate with Joe Biden. How could any thinking person think otherwise?

Your last piece on Palin-as-Biden was wonderful irony, but I fear it may be terribly misunderstood. I share your bitterness about the media’s bias, but you might just be losing your audience with that one.

Your usual direct, non-sarcastic voice might be hard to write just now, but your readers, and your country, need your clarity. Please return to your eloquent, not comedic, style. Professor, you are the clearest thinker out there. Your clarity must not be subsumed by wit. Nor by fury.

McCain would govern little differently from Obama. It’s better if Obama run the country into the ground the rest of the way than some psuedo conservative like McCain. That way, liberalism will get the blame it deserves, and true conservatism may get a shot again.

“Did the McCain debate victory matter? Yes, it helped, but time is running out and the economy is trumping the campaign battlefield.”

What are you smoking Dr. Hanson? Again, a longtime fan shakes his head in utter disbelief. I was furious with the way you were treated on Bill Maher’s show during your one appearance, but you can’t just keep spewing this nonsense.

McCain did NOT win the debate. Palin was a foolish choice. The disgust you all feel towards the mainstream media is not as widely shared as you thought.

If McCain had picked Romney, the Dems would be in trouble, but Palin is a fool. He blew it, and it’s time you all own up to. Parochial chauvinism is sooooo 2004!
