Was ist das?

hello guys need advice

well, hi admin adn people nice forum indeed. how's life? hope it's introduce branch ;)

omfg i hate how people always think they are so cool but they arnt!!!!!!!!!!! -_-

WTF

First off people im tired of those who are judging Obama cuz he doesn't have the "christian ways" whatever that means. Ya he is black but so is millions of Americans. Obama is young with new more fresh ideas and i trust him with my country. McLizzard is someone you need to think twice about! I'M AN OBAMA FAN!!!

Obamanation

It is an outrage that socialism would be brought into this country. It is also a terrible stab to democracy when McCain signs are being stolen and McCain support's homes are being damaged. This country does not need to become Venezuela, but needs to be leg to a great economic power where dreams can be acheived. Obama may silence the media and Joe the plumber, but he will never silence the power of the people.

McCain

I hope McCain wins but if Obama Wins he has a few okay ideas with the war...if he means EGG-ZACTLY what he says.

McCain wants some traditional stuff for our government.

Some people think Obama is Muslim He kind of looks like it I'm not very positive about that. that could just be a rumor.

Also i heard from the Deep Blue Sea that Obama does want some Muslim beliefs in our country..... if he is Muslim I promise guys I'll find out for sure.

But do remember If Obama is Muslim and does want this country to be less Christian and more Muslim than..........

do you really want him for a president? think... think...

I'll soon enough let you know about the secrets that lay about Obama. and please fill me in on some more good stuff on McCain that why he should become president.

C U soon.

Seriously?

Who honestly wants to see this country at war? We are supposed to be the strongest nation in the world and yet we have to butt our noses in every other nations business and tell them how they should run their country. I'm sorry but we run our country the way we want and we don't let anybody tell us what to do. Why should we do it to them? Iraq had nothing to do with this war. We need to kick Afghanistan's ass and get the hell out of there. I am tired of seeing army wives and girlfriends go through this stress, they can't live their everyday lives the same anymore. This happened seven years ago as of today. Nothing has happened since then. Why not take our chances? It's what we had been doing the years previous. All the Republican's want is to fight. Fight for everything. Like McCain said in his acceptance speech. He wants to fight for everything. Seriously, fighting does nothing. What was wrong with our country when Clinton was in office? Absolutely nothing. If anything, people could actually go a day, hell, even two days without worrying how they are going to get to work and if they have enough to do so. Kids can't do anything without feeling guilty asking mom and dad for gas money. I'm not putting out any disrespect to Republican's but honestly, what was wrong with our country when Bush wasn't in office? What about the middle class people nowadays? What are they left to do? Live on hopes and prayers? What about those with no homes and those who are trying to get their lives together? Today, they can't do anything. Things are at records high with prices. I'd really like to look at some statistics to see how bad things are since the Great Depression. All I'm saying is that things are out of control. For gosh sakes, bring our troops HOME and keep them home until something else happens. War should not even be the first thing that comes to mind in the first place. It's like telling a child to go beat someone up after they knock their sand castle down. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the majorty of the United States today would like to see this country run under a Democratic view. That's all. I say good day and good luck to all of those out there struggling. And to those who aren't making a bajillion dollars a year, looks like we're living on hopes and prayers. For all we know nowadays middle class and under will become slaves. *Laughs* God bless you America.
