DISQUS

BorninUSA · 1 year ago

Tonight is the public forum on CNN with Obama and mcshame. First it had been called a debate. It won't be a debate because as I understand it the candidates will be given the same questions individually. And they will be together only for a short time. Don't recall this format ever being used before. I will try to watch it til it becomes too sickening. Can only tolerate mcshame for short periods, actually not for anything over 3 minutes.

a blurb in our paper yesterday said active duty military people are donating to Obama over McCain, 6 to 1.

wow. that's big.

I get it about the fund raising. McCain isn't really raising any money, he's just going to the big bad bank where it's all hidden away since the S&L collapse of the late '80s. [Would the real Neil Bush please stand up?] Meanwhile, Obama continues to raise real money really and the DNC pitched in. Well, well! Perhaps the coalition will hold until after November 4.
"Isn't that a pretty dish,
To set before the Queen?"

The continued superiority of the Obama fund-raising totals raises questions regarding the even poll numbers. Are those who contribute to Obama not being counted? What gives?

WANT MORE PAIN ?????????VOTE McSAME !!!!!!!!!McBUSH!!!!!!!!!!!

OT
Not only is George Bush the worst president ever, McCain is promising to be even worse. It is our misfortune to also have the worst Speaker of the House in our history.

US Democrats open to more offshore drilling
By DINA CAPPIELLO (Associated Press Writer)

WASHINGTON - The stance of U.S. Democrats against offshore drilling shifted more on Saturday, with House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi signaling she was willing to consider opening up more areas off the nation's coastlines to oil and gas exploration.

Its infuriating we have to compromise with the STUPID HALF of people who actually think more drilling is the answer. Unfortunately, all Republicans have to do is go make theatre on the floor of the house and the compliant media beats the drum for the oil companies and the Democratic House has to bend and compromise. Sickening...

I wouldn't say they are stupid. Instead I would use the word "ignorant" to describe them. The world is very rarely black and white, but the Republicans always try to make it a black and white issue. The Democrats are always nuanced in their approach, which is not appealing to the ignorant people in the country.

As for the oil, it has been dropping like a rock. We could have $50 a barrel petrol if the Dollar was stronger. This is the major reason why the price of petrol is going down. However, making the case to the American people that it is economic situations and not an issue solution is not the strong suite of the Democrats.

Republicans are the class of non thinkers and authoritarians. I wonder how many of them would put gays, Muslims and liberals in ovens if the Republican leadership suggested it would help. Truly frightening.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

You make some really good points. I'm sure plenty of them would fire up the ovens if their Republican leaders told them to do it. They are mindless sheep.

Obama raised 24 million more than McCain but the beltway bumpkins will say McCain had a better month

Now is the time to point out the Russia-Georgia conflict has not occurred in a vacuum. The international problems we are facing are a direct result of the mismanagement, directionless and huge foreign policy blunders in the middle east. Bush, McCain and all the Republicans who clamored for War with Iraq made the decisions that cost us our leverage with Russia. We've inadvertently enriched Russia and allowed them to rebuild their empire. Had Republicans had the judgment of Obama, we never would be in this position in the first place. One has to be absolutely insane to keep putting one's trust in McCain's Bu$hco. decisions when they have been proven to be so disastrously wrong. How about the American voter waking up and realizing Russia wouldn't be thumbing their nose at us if Bu$h and Condi hadn't weakened us to this vulnerable state we are in.

Bu$hco. deserves LEAVENWORTH!

CNN's misleading promo for the fat preacher's teevee show rides on the promoted fact that the two candidates will shared the stage as one exits and the other enters.
I expect various toob meat puppetry will wax rapsodic and take a tweaser to nitpic atmospherics as ships pass...

Bush_Bites · 1 year ago

Yeah!

This is great news.

I always figured Obama would do OK versus McCain on fundraising, but worried that the RNC would make up the difference by kicking the DNC's ass.

Glad the DNC's finally picking up the pace.

vkobaya · 1 year ago

You know what will happen of course. The Supreme Court will rule that Obama received 27 million more votes than McCain therefore McCain is the next president. Or they will rule that Diebold switched 27 million votes to McCain and therefore ... Even worse, they might rule that Obama won and therefore it is marshall law, and Bush remains the Oval Office usurper for life except his new title will be Dimbutt I, Absolute Monarch, Despot, Tyrant and Dictator of the the Fourth Reich of America.

McCain's campaign slogan should be:

Vote! Vote all you want for Obama. McCain has already won.

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Bush and McCain's dismal failiure in diverting us to war with Iraq, and their ineffective "war on terra" has cost us the victory of the Cold War. Bush and McCain's Republican foreign policy caused us to get sidetracked and spent us down while allowing Russia to get back on their feet. Bu$hco., with John McCain's full support, took their eyes off the ball. Believe me, they were warned by our intelligence agencies but Bu$h, Condi, Rove, Cheney, McCain and friends all thought they knew best. Well, America, meet our future! A new Cold War with Russia. THANKS REPUBLICANS!

Vote for a NEW WAY AND BETTER FOREIGN POLICY - Vote Obama!

Both parties blew Russia...
The awakening bear met the worst of unregulated American interests thru 3 administrations...Anyone remember Nelson Strowbridge Talbott III?
For years bureaucratic DC was buzzing as various fuctionaries returned from Moscow with gobs of jewelry, icons and artwork bartered for much desired USA currency with often unsavvy Russian locals.
We showed them our dark Reaganized heart and they outperformed their emulation with a cossack's zeal. Itsn't this our tough luck?

cowboyneok · 1 year ago

Many of us Cold War veterans wouldn't have bothered defeating the Soviet Union if we had known the disastrous Bu$h Administration would have turned our success on its head by their schizophrenic approach to foreign policy, and their idiotic foray into Iraq while allowing Iran/Russia/China to enrich themselves and rebuild their former spheres of influence. Obama is RIGHT. Iraq was a diversion, and the problems with Russia are just reaping what Bush has sewn for eight disastrous years.

Good news, but here's the deal! Tell Obama to get off his ass and punch back with advertising that sticks.

THE HILLARY POWERHOUSE

There is an undeniable force that shouldn’t be discounted and should be appreciated.

Hillary Clinton knows her game, and her experience is paying off.
