I’ve received two prophecies from people I trust who say that there are 7 cities in the US targeted and probably already have nuclear bombs in them. I wouldn’t be so sure about American cities not blowing up. I think we’re on dangerous ground.

Hope you aren’t living in one of the cities that will be nuked.

Exactly. Much as I don’t like McCain, I’ll take him any day over Obamamama. He’s dangerous.

You validly use my oft-said argument.

Part of the reason we lost the Senate and Congress was that many Republicans had decided to NOT vote to send Bush a message. And entered us into the morasse we face today by “abstaining” and thus doubling the effect of every Democrat vote as there was not one opposing it.

If you are angry at your face, spa not spite it.

Nope. Once Iran gets the bomb, ITS cities are going to start blowing up, courtesy of Israel. No way Israel does not launch a first strike to prevent a nuclear attack on Tel Aviv or Haifa.

I think you are listening to Iran's propaganda machine and swallowing it hook, line and sinker and are over estimating Israel resolve to strike first. If Israel strikes Iran, the WHOLE Arab world aligns against Israel, in today's world they cannot stand up against Hamas, Hellezbella, (arms of Iran) Syria, Egypt, they would need America to stand with them, Obama will leave them swinging in the breeze because OIL is our life blood

If Iran drops a nuke over an Israel city, the millions of Muslim in Gaza are affected, so that's unlikely to happen. Isn't that the reason the Arab world hates Israel, they are living on Pali land? So blowing it up to a waste land is pretty stupid, even for Muslims

Iran's strategy with the threat of nuclear attacks on Israel is to beat them down to the point they capitulate to the Pali's demands and basically dissolve Israel to a non state out of fear.

Israel cannot launch strikes against Iran to disable or destroy their nuclear program without Americas help. They do not have the long range refueling capability to run the thousands of sorties against Iran.

If Obama gets elected POTUS, Israel is screwed, Iran knows it, Israel knows it, the only one who doesn't is the Obamanation

If Israel strikes Iran, the whole Arab world will do nothing because they know Israel has enough nukes to take out every single Arab/Muslim capital several times over if they try to attack. And if the offending nations are decapitated, the state-sponsored terror groups will shrivel and die due to lack of sustenance.

I still hold a glimmer of hope that President Lame-Duck George W. Bush will take to heart that he's POTUS until noon January 20, 2009.

When supposedly 84% of Americans don't like the way you do your job, most people would say, 'screw it'.

But I know President Bush loves our country and takes his presidential oath seriously and literally.

Please President Bush....we MUST retard Iran's progress to acquiring nukes.

Since when should world opinion mean a damned thing when our nation and its people are in peril?

Though, I certainly wish that was true,(and it might be) but I have a hard time believing it.

I think Israel would rather dissolve than nuke every major Arab capital based on the threat of being nuked.

Nothing? Nothing? Get your head out of the sand, LeGrande.

Obama will split the democratic party and the pubs will do what they do best, retreat. The result will probably be similar to Clintons presidency, except that Democrats will consolidate their positions in Congress.

If McCain wins then all of the liberal goals will get achieved because McCain will have no opposition at all. Everything good that happens will make the Democrats look good and everything bad that happens will be the Republican Presidents fault. Democrats will own Congress for the next 40 years.

If I was a liberal I would certainly vote for McCain. Now if we had a Republican House or Senate, or even a shot at that, then this scenario would be different, but we don't. We have already lost and we are in for a long period of rebuilding.

Do I sound depressed? I am. The fifth column in the Republican party won. I might buy a sailboat, there must be some beautiful unspoiled places left in this world.

I remember reading Israel has over 135 nukes.

I haven’t liked Best Buy since I took a look inside when the store was new here. However, I sometimes respond to their advertising a a way to look at an item “in the flesh” before I decide whether to get it online cheaper.

All the things we are preoccupied with today, from the price of gasoline to health care to global warming, will suddenly no longer matter.

It's refreshing to see a member of the media showing true vision and perspective.

We have life so good that we no longer appreciate the goodness any more, thus a hangnail requires government health care to help us get through the trauma of suffering.

Soon, we will get a good dose of required true individual work for survival considering the attitudes of the masses and the options for political leadership available, yes we will get "change" to make life better for us all whether we want it or not as individuals.

Freedom will live in the archives for posterity and remembrance.

I was depressed for weeks over that loss, I'm not easily depressed I might add.

Thank you for saying it once again.

...the only one who doesn't [know it] is the Obamanation

He's not "single digit I.Q. challenged" obviously, so what is it that he does know?

That's worthy of contemplation in itself.

I do understand how you feel. I, too, feel that the Republican party has let me down. I wish someone else had been voted as our candidate, but we have to do the best we can with what we’ve got. McCain has to be better than Obama, at least as far as taxes and Iraq and terrorism are concerned.
