Stop Obama

I hope Obama can be stopped. I hope we can prove his birth certificate is a fake. I hope someone, big will let this be known, like a news network.

The chosen one, Obama

Obama has been shuved down our collective throats for months

now.

I have always voted democrat, but the next presidential election

I am voting independent.

I don't want Mcain, and I don't want Obama and alot

of Americans seem to feel the same way.

So everyone out there.... don't forget there are more parties

out there than the two losers that hve let everyone down.

Americans need to get some nerve, and do what's best, throw

the bums out!

anti obama growing on the internet

thank you Bonnie

for reporting the growing oposition to the DNC shoving obama down our throats.i wll NEVER VOT FOR OBAMA and i fully suport all the sites that want the truth to be shown about this chcago shyster con man

obots

On a drive back from Florida yesterday we had the Obamaspeak inflicted upon us by NPR and XM's POTUS, CNN and even Fox more times than I want to remember. The press pandering was nauseating.

It is no surprise that the NYT, the LAT, the ChiTrib, the pathetic AJC, and others are losing circulation. No one can write and no one will assess. But they all are like six year olds wanting a photo with Santa Claus.

Bush and company have made critical errors that Pelosi, Reed, Clinton and Obama could have capitalized upon. While Bush and company are not much good (and Condi Rice's attempt at immortality pathetic) the inactivity, whining (my work, not Gramm's), and refusal to take chances show politics as usual.

If you want to lead, LEAD. If you don't, shut up and keep shoveling.

The only change I want in November is my two cents...not a candidate with no record, a micro-thin skin, and a coterie of pissants. The only difference between the Obots and the Bush buddies is ... not much.

Woof!!!

One Question

I'm an Obama supporter and as such I know I'm taking a risk by posting here, but I'm sufficiently curious that I'll take the chance. I have heard a number of critics of Obama supporters imply that the only reason to oppose Senator Clinton is sexism rather than a real and deeply held belief that Senator Obama has some combination of platform, personality, and disposition that make him more fit to lead our nation. I believe very strongly that Senator Clinton does not represent the ideal of feminine politics and that as a result, my vote for Obama is not in any way a vote against all female politicians. Why is it that my stance is generally dismissed out of hand in these circles? In short, I strongly reject the notion that a vote for Obama is a vote against women; I just wish people would understand that.

Dear Mike of NY

I'm black and a NOBAMA "Hillary of McCain" voter-

How is that racist? I just don't think Obama would make the best president- and it has nothing to do with his race, or the race of the other two candidates- but EVERYTHING to do with his campaign, policy, character etc.

Instead of making generalizations- because, you know, black people do vote for white candidates just like a white person might vote black or a latino might vote asian- why don't you just realize that there are anti-Obama supporters out there just like there are anti-Clinton ones. Get over it. It's called opinion.

Nobama NoWay

Mike of NY: As you would tell the Hillary supporters: GET OVER IT. We have a right to vote for the good of our country over an unqualified, inexperienced, do-nothing, know-nothing blow-hard! The more you know about Obama=the more convinced you are that John McCain should be President!

Obama Supporters are drinking FISA kool aid.

We will make sure Barack Obama won't be elected this fall. The DNC stoled this election from the people and now we will show them what happens when you select your own candidate.

Anti-Obama Dems

I want those right here and right now who accuse us of being "racist" because we do not support Obama to spell out WHY, letter by letter. L-E-T-T-E-R B-Y L-E-T-T-E-R. The United States of America is a free country, we are free to support/vote for whomever we please, and if that makes me a "racist," then fine. I'll take it as a compliment.

Democratic Congress

Liberal dems are busy blaming the Bush administration for everything that is wrong today. I think they conveniently forget that we elected a democratic majority to Congress in 2006. They promised to "fix everything" by using their legislative powers to insure the country moved forward on the right track. My question is - what have they done? Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have been so busy campaigning for Obama that the answer is - nothing. The price of gas has increased by at least a third since January 2007, more and more homeowners are facing foreclosure, Congress continues to fund the war and, as a final blow, they passed the FISA extension that gave Bush and the Telecom companies everything they wanted. If they paid more attention the the nation's business and spent less time knocking McCain and pushing Obama, we might actually have some relief. While Bush's report card might have a "D" on it for effectiveness, the Democratic congress has earned a big red "F".
