America... Watch out!

It is amazing to me to read these blogs and think that there are people so blind to their own agendas that they fail to see the danger we are in. You won't see the pitfall until it is too late and then you will whine that you weren't told or you didn't realize the true trouble you will have with this man, Obama, as your President. I have a deep, deep sense of foreboding and danger... and I am a Democrat. I don't trust this man. He is not who he seems. And as much as I want to like Michelle, I am reminded of two things, 1) that she had made the statement early on about "this is the first time she was proud to be an American" so what was she before? 2) if she is Barrack's advisor as he has so often said she was, then, she is just as much "in the know" of his political agenda as he is. Therefore, she is just a culpable. A man with nothing to hide, wouldn't attack, he would just admit his associations and his money distributions. Obama hasn't... because he knows neither will stand up under the scrutiny of light...and he'll turn his misdeeds and misjudgements back to McCain as he smooth-talks his way out of yet another effort to get the American people to wake up. But maybe, it is as we deserve. Obama is being funded by outside of the U.S. sources... you can guess who... and you can bet they will want your soul in return.

America, you better be on your knees and praying, because the times ahead are not for the faint hearted. America as we have known it, is about to change... and not for the better. You will have lost your power and your international status all in one election and one huge market crisis. America, do you think it not a strange coincidence that one day everything is business as usual, and the next day the market is collapsing, thus plunging the world into financial collapse as well? No, there is more behind this financial ruin than meets the eye...

Couldn't agree with you more

As a long time republican who grew up despising the Clinton years and listening to Rush (turned drug user), I look back and recognize that the Clinton years weren't that bad. Worse yet, why didn't all those conservative talk show hosts cry foul when Bush went against Republican values and increased government bureaucracy, start a false war and failed to protect citizens?

Our party has become one of hypocrisy, hubris and hate. We deserve to loose. Maybe then we can have time to reflect on what it really means to be a Republican.

Congress timeout

Don't blame President Bush for the mess in Washington. America wanted change in 2006 so they voted in a dem congress. We got change alright. In the past year consumer confidence plummeted, gasoline went up over $4.00 a gallon,unemployment is up 5.5% or more,Americans have seen their equity drop by 12 trillion dollars and prices still dropping,and more than 1% of Americans are in foreclosure and Dow gets lower every day. 25 million dollars have disappeared from stocks, bonds, mutal fund investments and portifolios. Yes,in 2006 America voted for change and we sure got it. Remember the president has no control over any of these issues, only congress. And what has congress done these last two years, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. NOW THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT CLAIMS HE IS GoING TO REALLY GIVE US CHANGE ALONG WITH A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS!!!! JUST HOW MUCH CHANGE DO YOU THINK WE CAN STAND?

obama nation

Obama is a fake. Perfect for the Democrates. A low life nobody with terrorest for friends. Bush didn't steal an election. You dummies gave it away by trying to put in power another one of your losers. I would LOVe to vote Democrate again, but they make me so ashamed. Trash talking bunch of losers

Hate and Intolerance

WE should ALL be objective... shouldn't we?

A true leader instills hope not fear.

--Optimistic in Florida

Congress

"The Democrats, at least, know what they want to do."

Like cover uo the Fannie/Freddie fiasco that even liberal SNL rightly ascribed to the Democrats? The Pubs have faults, no doubt-but pls.try to be somewhat objective.

Thanks for the forum. Vin at www.wegotsarah.com
