I know Obama is getting record crowds, estimated as high as 75,000 in Portland, OR. But is curiosity the same thing as support? Are these massive crowds going to vote en masse?
Obama is a draw, but is he selling liberalism like never before or are liberals simply coming out like never before? Given some of his more ludicrous statements one has to wonder how many Americans are ready for his hard core liberal stances:
Pitching his message to Oregon’s environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to “lead by example” on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.
“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.
SInce when is leadership kowtowing down to the world’s biases (usually generated by a malicious and liberal news media)? America is not killing the planet. As I noted in another post if you look at where the global warming IS, it is not over the American continents - it is over Asia where most of the human population lives.

If you want his hands off your thermostat after this election, you’d best move to Mexico; that should be safe until the American Union happens in 20 to 30 years.

Conservative American response:
Drive our SUV’s: Si se puede!
Eat lots of food: Si se puede!
A/C homes to 72 degrees: Si se puede!
So let me get this straight, if we eat all the food we want (which we grow ourselves), drive our SUVs and cool our houses, then poor folks in the 3rd world will suffer? How about lets help the 3rd world drive SUVs, eat more and cool their houses!
“If you want his hands off your thermostat after this election, you’d best move to Mexico; that should be safe until the American Union happens in 20 to 30 years.”
If he gets elected he’ll be out in 4 years, (or before) and so this is another reason I’m not gonna get hysterical over his possible win.
He can go the He** and take his scowling wife with him.
This is something you can count on with the elitists who “know better” about how the rest of us should live -
the rules won’t apply to them.
There are already remote control thermostats that you can “voluntarily” install at your home.
Voluntarily, for now.
OK, Bambi - YOU FIRST. Cut your energy usage in half. Eat food on a reasonable budget, say, what a 35k a year family eats.
IOW, the leadership he seems to want to exhibit involves our doing what the world tells us would be good leadership. (which ironically sounds more like being a follower to me)
He isn’t fit to lead a circle jerk! But he is the head JERK!
I didn't - I'm sure glad he clarified! Whew!

“how much water I can use”
If you purchased a toilet in the US in the last few years, you may have noticed that it is incapable of flushing a normal deposit. This is because congress dictated a specific and reduced amount of water per each flush. They also made it illegal to purchase and install larger capacity flush toilets. And Obey hasn’t even been elected yet! Imagine the possibilities then! Welcome to the Union of Soviet Socialist Amerika, Comrade. Here is your daily ration of electricity, water, air, food, etc. Now get back to work!
I shudder at the thought!
“There are already remote control thermostats that you can “voluntarily” install at your home.”
The word “voluntary” will be part of our distant past soon.
He is a side show. People want to see what a Muslim looks like up close.
“”no prob,...I knew who you mean that “screw you” for.”
I didn’t - I’m sure glad he clarified! Whew!”
Wouldn’t have been the first time today someone told me that, what with rush hour traffic and it being a Monday. Not to worry!
LOL!
Why don't we seize the opportunity provided by the MSM's deification of Obama to permanently de-claw the IRS and get God back into the public school classrooms?
This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics.
In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.
Obama, a big-shot federal spenderAnd this post (<-click) exposes how corrupt justices then began using FDR's politically correct license to ignore the 10th A. to unlawfully stifle traditional family values, including the USSC's scandalous legalization of abortion in Roe v. Wade. Note that the post first references two non-abortion cases in order to show Roe v. Wade in a different, troubling perspective.
In fact, consider that the states have the constitutional power (10th A.) to authorize public schools to lead non-mandatory (14th A.) classroom discussions on the pros and cons of evolution, creationism and ID, as examples, regardless that atheists, separatists, pagan-minded judges and the MSM are misleading the people to think that doing such things in public schools is unconstitutional.
The people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problems that, since the days of FDR's dirty politics, Congress has not only not been operating with the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned, but the USSC has wrongly been ignoring the 10th A. protected power of the states to address religious issues.
The bottom line is that the people need to get in the faces of judges, demanding that judges uphold their oaths to defend the 10th A. protected powers of the states to address religious issues - or get off the bench. The people also need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of members of Congress, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes - or get out of DC.
Lincoln put it this way.
"We the People are the rightful master of both congress and the courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." --Abraham Lincoln, Political debates between Lincoln and Douglas, 1858.
Why would anyone go and see someone they wouldn’t consider voting for?
