You know, that kind of BS does nothing. I AGREE that he's a leftist NUTTER. Given the choice of him or Kerry, who do you vote? It's obvious to me.
Very fruity.
Obama is an oily scumbag who I predict will have all the staying power of Pokemon
***
How do you know he is a scumbag?
It takes a big person to acknowledge a person of talent and most likely substance......time will tell.....belittling resolves nothing!
No,Obama will win one term in the U.S. Senate and then be elected Gov. of IL. He will run for President in 2012.
>>Forgive me if my suspicion if inaccurate, but you've shown wild enthusiam for Obama.<<
Uhm, no. Not hardly. I said he gave a GREAT speech.
I read up on his politics and found him to be a leftist. I don't agree with that. My point is that if we had to tolerate a lefty in office, he'd be better than Kerry.
I am not now, nor ever going to suggest that we elect or support lefty redistributionists into office. My point is that he's a lesser evil.
Furthermore, to suggest I'm giving this douchebag "wild enthusiam" is a misguided attempt to slander me. I DON'T like him. He gave a GREAT speech. Did you watch it? I wish Bush could give such a speech. It'd seal his re-election. This guy nailed it.
Why does that question my conservatism to recognize it? *boogles*
As a conservative, I would vote for neither.
Obama said the following in his speech tonight.
"Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation, not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy."
The power of the US military is what has kept America free and is the #1 reason why we will remain a free people. That's what Reagan believed. The day America devolves its military to a second class status, is the day we America will no longer be great bastion of freedom and liberty. Eight years of Clinton proved that. We can't afford eight years of Kerry or Obama!
Punahou is where he went to school. I took some summer classes there and went to swim meets there.
I disagree. Unlike Clinton who who absolutely infuriates me with his slick salesman schtick, Obama comes off as being passionate and "genuine". As a conservative, I would have no idea that is a far left winger, had I not known about his voting record in Illinois. He sincerely believes in socialism, unlike Clinton who believes in whatever is good for Clinton.
A little tidbit I'd like to point out. During the Illinois primary season, there were 4 or 5 candidates running with Barak Obama in the democratic primary. The frontrunner was a rich guy, I believe named Blair Hull, who was running ahead of the pack. Suddenly, Blair's divorce papers were outed stating that he had hit his wife. Obama denied any involvement in the outing of this information, but outed it was. Blair plummeted in the polls, and Obama, who had been running second was suddenly catapulted into first place, and went on to win the democratic primary. Jack Ryan won in the Republican primary. Now it was Obama vs. Jack Ryan in the general election. Now, and once again, Jack Ryan's divorce papers were outed, with Obama once again claiming that he had nothing to do with it (the Chicago Trib sought the divorce info through the courts, and got a liberal judge in California to release them). Ryan ends up quitting the race because of the outing of the divorce papers, and Obama is now the only candidate in the race for Illinois Senator, and it appears will win due to the lack of a viable Republican substitute candidate (Mike Ditka turned the opportunity down). Therefore, twice, because of divorce paper outings, once with Blair Hull and once with Jack Ryan, Obama has gained first place status and will most likely, barring any fluke, become the Illinois Senator to fill Republican Peter Fitzgerald's seat.
Now, with Blair Hull's outing, you could call it as just a lucky break for Obama. However, along comes Jack Ryan, and the same thing happens. You can call this coincidence, but in politics, I don't believe in coincidence. I see the fine hand of Barak Obama and his henchmen, facilitating the information leaks of the dirt on both Blair Hull and on Jack Ryan. After all, who benefited most by both of these "coincidences"? Obama. He, of course, has plausible deniability, but I'm not buying it. I smell another Slick Willy in the making. Don't you agree?
So you want the GOP to just capitulate to the librats. LOL Come on. That's ridiculous. That would turn Obama from a statewide star to a national figure in the DemParty.
No teaming-up with Hillary?
Lucky my ass. He was a benificary of the democrat/judicial/media slime machine.
If you think making fun of his name will be enough...
If you think you can lump him in with nutjobs like Jesse and Al...
If you think that describing him as "fruity" is clever or useful in the face of his sophistication, good looking family, and church-going image...
...then, quite frankly, you're high, and I hope you share some of what you're smoking to help us all get through the years he spends in the White House down the road.
Do not, do not, DO NOT underestimate this guy. (And stop harping on his name, it just makes us seem small-minded.)
Interesting...(I didn't see the convention tonight.) So we may be finished with the Clinton Dynasty after all?
