Making History Again?
Tue, 02/12/2008 - 12:08am — nshaddock
I am sure this has been mentioned before...but the surge of dissatisfied voters, who have lost hope that their party's candidates can make a change in the direction that America is heading, reminds me of Ronald Reagan. I am one of those who believes Reagan was one of the best modern presidents in America and I recall the overwhelming amount of Democrats who voted for him, because they lost hope in their own party's candidates and felt need need to cross over the Republican line to vote for a better, higher purpose. Obama's honesty, integrity and ability to unite Americans will create the same type of movement, which is already happening! The idea of McCain or Huckabee (or Romney, up until last week) as the next Republican nominee makes me ill and I can't, in good conciousness, vote for them! I know how inportant my vote, any vote can be and I won't waste it by, NOT VOTING, because I don't like the party's choices. I read Obama's book, "Dream's of my Father" and I knew then that this man WILL BE one of America's BEST Presidents. He will change American politics, nationally and internationally, and he will change the dynamics of how our country is run. This is one ride I eagerly await!

What Got Us Here
Thu, 10/30/2008 - 10:58am — sumrzz
Regardless of what you think of Obama or the party he’s withJust remember one thing here. Had it not been for the failure of this administration and the failure of a Republican Led congress in six of the last eight years that believed that there was nothing that Could get in the way of the party itself we wouldn’t be where we are.
Most importantly as a Republican you must remember that YOU are not to blame.For it’s the “Representatives of the party” that ARE to blame.
If there is anyoneTo be angry at it’s the party that got us here.
The equation is simple:Failed Policies + Failed Government + A Failed President = A Failed Party
This should be a stark reminder to us all that no matter what party we’re connected toAmerica is still America with the freedom to choose when change is needed. Quite simply, if congress is not doing its job, vote them out.
That is where we are today.
“Change” is on the way

Wow! That's amazing!
Please find one from a Nazi, or a skinhead, or maybe a gaggle of Moderate Republican Senators.
There may still be those among us who have not yet seen the light.
All Hail Lord Barack The Most Merciful.
Through Him shall we be restored.

And what do they say about Obama?

Energy Debate

The Obama Lie: "I believe we should immediately give every working family in America a $1,000 energy rebate, and we should pay for it with part of the record profits that the oil companies are making right now."

The Real Obama: Barack Obama voted for the 2005 Energy Bill that included billions in tax breaks for oil companies.

Nuclear Energy

The Obama Lie: "I don't think that we can take nuclear power off the table."

The Real Obama: Barack Obama says he is "not a nuclear energy proponent"

Tax Agenda

The Obama Lie: "I not only have pledged not to raise their taxes, I've been the first candidate in this race to specifically say I would cut their taxes."

The Real Obama: In 2004, Obama promised voters he would support a middle-class tax cut - he never supported it once elected. In fact, Senator Obama twice voted to raise taxes on Americans making $42,000 a year or more. Overall, Obama has voted 94 times to raise taxes and prevent tax cuts.

Earmarks

The Obama Lie: "That's using a hatchet to cut the federal budget. I want to use a scalpel so that people who need help are getting help."

The Real Obama: Barack Obama has requested nearly $1 billion in earmarks in just three years.

Diplomacy

The Obama Lie: "I Didn't Say That I Would Meet Unconditionally."

The Real Obama: In An October 2007 CBS Interview, When Asked About Meeting With "Hugo Chavez And Etc. Etc.," Barack Obama Said "Exactly, And Without Preconditions." CBS' Harry Smith: "You said, 'I will talk to so and so and Hugo Chavez and etc., etc.'" Obama: "Exactly, and without preconditions." (CBS' "The Early Show," 10/15/07)

Government Waste

The Obama Lie: "The cost of our debt is one of the fastest growing expenses in the federal budget. This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy."

The Real Obama: If Barack Obama Could Enact All Of His Campaign Proposals, Taxpayers Would Be Faced With Financing Over $1 Trillion In New Spending Over One White House Term.

Spending Bills

The Obama Lie: Barack Obama would curb government spending .

The Real Obama: Barack Obama voted yes on nearly every spending bill during his time in office.

Deregulation

The Obama Lie: Barack Obama has fought for "re-regulating" the banking industry

The Real Obama: Joe Biden voted for the same bill that Barack Obama blames as the cause of the market regulation problems.

Fannie and Freddie

The Obama Lie: Barack Obama tried to warn against the impending collapse of Fannie and Freddie .

The Real Obama: John McCain Pushed For Fannie And Freddie Regulation While "Obama Was Notably Silent." Obama solicits advice and campaign contributions from executives and board members from the failed mortgage broker.

Rescue Package

The Obama Lie: Barack Obama had a plan to combat the mortgage crisis.

The Real Obama: Barack Obama Did Not Make Calls To Round Up Votes For The Economic Recovery Package. Barack Obama Would Not Take A Position On Whether Or Not He Supported Or Opposed The Government Rescue Of AIG.

Heck, they even have their own forums, which I may have to join.

Bloverk, why don't you start your own thread! Besides, I am already outnumbered on this forum. I bet you can't understand your own working so hard to get Obama elected.

[bolverk]

Well, I can't understand why anyone would support an ultra left wing partisan, no.

But, I bet you can't understand why so many Democrats are not fooled by the folly of this current election cycle either.

Lastly, my post is called juxtaposition. In case you do not understand what that means, it is to place two items closely together for a comparison. Your presentation is the Republicans supporting Obama. My post, which is clearly on topic, it juxtaposes the Democrats for McCain against your post about Republicans for Obama. Clearly, I provided more evidence of Democrats for McCain. So, STFU.

And, by the way, they are not "my own." I, unlike you and most progressives, do not rely on others to stand up and work hard. I earn my own money, I don't want government handouts or cradle to the grave care as you require. You, unlike me, would vote all your rights away for a false sense of security.
