Please tell me again why you'd never vote for John McCain against this guy...

He didn’t mention anything about nursing either. Why go so easy on him? Where is the outrage against Obama’s anti Healthcare and anti patients tendencies?

To double the peace corps and do all of this other stuff he discusses....he has to have congress and the senate pay for it. Between the Republicans left in the senate, and Hillary...I’m guessing he won’t find too many positive supporters. If he does beat McCain...it’ll be a 52 to 48 percent vote...not enough to really say a national consensus. So we will be entertained by a guy who can’t accomplish anything for four years.

We pick on his anti-defense positions because they can kill a hundred million Americans. On second thought — those may be a hundred million metro dwelling radical leftist Democrats (San Francisco, New York City, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Chicago, Seattle, Boston. On third thought, would the Islamists target mostly Conservative metro areas (Provo/Salt Lake City, Dallas/Ft.Worth, Colorado Springs, Phoenix/Mesa, Anchorage, Houston)?

I like the PeaceCorp. I like the idea of missionary work.

I don’t like the idea that our military can get sent in to rescue people in far flung places without the means to protect themselves. Don’t disarm a Blackhawk and permit a MARINE to be dragged through the streets and then say to me you’ll pay for the peacecorp but not the bullets to pull their a$$es out of the muck.

Sh#t, okay I have to vote McCain. I do not like him even a little, and trust him even less.

I heard a tape on the Mark Levin Show last night of Obama, he makes me want to throw up.

So, second thanks for your service and I’ll cast a vote for McIdiot.

He wants more people in "public service," even though govt. employment has been growing rapidly for years, including during Republican administrations. He wants more Peace Corps types, even though there is no evidence that the P.C. or billions in foreign aid have ever turned any significant leaders' "hearts and minds" toward our country. Those who really want to help suffering people in backward areas would do best to join Christian relief and mission groups, who are usually the most effective in material terms and also really do "turn hearts and minds" toward more positive goals.

And just where are these "forgotten corners" of the world, now that mass media give coverage to disasters even in closed countries like Burma ("Myanmar") and North Korea? Peace Corps and other "people to people" programs would never be allowed in countries like those, anyway. (The biggest disaster in most Third World countries is corrupt and totalitarian socialist government, anyway.)

During B.O.’s speech at Wesleyan University, he kept referring to it as “Wellesleyan,” apparently thinking he was at Wellesley college. This is the same genius who thinks Sunrise, FL is “Sunshine,” and that Afghans speak Arabic.

I’m no happier about it than you are, but I can’t let our troops, police, firefighters, emergency personnel, and the next generation down by allowing Barack Obama to be elected president. Malcolm X, Jimmy Carter, Louis Farrakhan and George McGovern all rolled into one, with a Hillary clone as a spouse. NO THANKS!

“He didn’t mention anything about nursing either.”

Nor firefighters or police.

“Does disdain for the military matter anymore?”

When has it ever mattered to the Left? Nothing upsets a liberal more than a military man in uniform. Such a picture reminds the liberal man that he's a pathetic pussy. And, it reminds the liberal woman that she married a pathetic pussy.

Why do you think so many liberal women are so angry...? They got sold a bill of goods. Society told them they should marry an “Al Franken type,” and it only takes a few months for them to figure out they really wanted a “John Wayne type.”

Perhaps because:

1. We are at war.
2. Lefties are known for disdain for the military
3. IT WAS MEMORIAL DAY

You’re a republican like I’m a forward in the NBA.

I live in Boston you idiot and am the furthest thing from a “metro dwelling radical leftist” you ever met.

Your post, celebrating the death of 100 million Americans, is disgusting.

Why is it that everything that has to do with Obama involves so much projection? He didn’t mention military service, thus he hates military. You have much higher chance to be a forward in NBA, then be able to sell that bull crap.

It does amaze me that his supporters reflect their neurotic sense of personal deficiency upon him. He is an empty vessel to be filled by the febrile dreams of fetishists and losers.
