Gee...not many fancy words in this thread. Sarah doesn't like fancy words. Maybe someone should send her a link to mingle2.

In my last post someone inferred that Mc Cain would be a better president cause he is more like a regular joe. My question is, when did we as americans decide that we would settle for regular, ordinary, average or common people to lead us? Do we really want that in a time of crisis? Is regular joe code for something else? Where our founding fathers regular joes? As a matter of fact...our founders WERE regualr Joe's. Are you implying that we do nothing about arrogant politicans? No wonder nothing is done to DEMS & their corruptive habits. I wonder why anyone would bother to vote OBAMA if they don't care about working class issues that is???? So I guess that you don't believe that our problems stem from too many lawyers & rich people running govt.???? Let's talk! I have a bridge to sell YOU!!!

What I find interesting about elections is when the Republicans control the Congress but not the White House it's all about blaming Congress but when the Democrats control the Congress and not the White House it's all about blaming the President. The real tragedy is that we have the most inept and corrupt Congress in decades and all people can argue about is which talking head script reading village idiot they're going to vote in as president. I wouldn't give you a nickel for Obama or McCain. George Soros got McCain's campaign off the ground then abandoned him once he got him started toward the nomination. So did the New York Times. This whole election is a setup while everyone voting like loyal sheep thinks they're so smart. It was decided for you before any of you ever joined the bandwagon.

The Dems have only had the House for 2 yrs.

Should we go back 14 years...Reps had control for 12 yrs..The problems we face today have been occuring way before 2006!!! Its time to quit blaming and take charge and fix it..McCains been involved for 20 plus years and what has he really accomplished in that time..

I just think it's funny how McCain, who's the son of an army admiral and married into being millionaire, is the regular joe, whereas Obama, who was raised by a single mom and grandparents who at one point had to be on food stamps, went to school with scholarships and loans, and is a self made millionaire is less of a regular joe. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with wanting to identify your candidate, but I agree that there's a huge problem with anti-intellectualism. I want a smart president, sorry. I mean, I don't want my president to be an elitist, but I do want him to be elite. Yes how could the son of an admiral ever be a regular Joe? He was born with the silver spoon in his mouth and born into entitlement. Getting his butt whuped by a self made black man just seems so "american" doesnt it?

so it seems that those are the people who are still in control,so of which still believe they should pay no taxes.

I will be watching and laughing/crying as Obama the wunderkind leads his new overwhelming majority in Congress down the path of change. Do you all really think it's all going to get better now? Capitalism was mortally wounded this year. All hail the new Socialist order that will stop global warming and finally stick it to big business until there are no jobs that aren't union or government controlled. You'll have independence from big oil and OPEC while you're riding your bicycles to work, uh, I mean to the welfare office. The biggest mistake the people's revolutions make is that after you tax all the rich people and take their riches you eventually run out of rich people to kill, uh, I mean tax. I've watched for years as the left in this country uses terms like assassinate when describing how much they hate the opposition. I've watched the intolerance of dissenting opinion while broadcast news repeats the daily talking points of biased rhetoric ad nauseum. Most if not all of you have no idea why the Bill of Rights exists to try to save you from yourselves. Most do not understand the importance of the Second Amendment and how there can be no guarantee of the First Amendment without the Second. It wasn't number ten so it must have been pretty important to be the second. You speak of the Founding Fathers but haven't done the research to understand what tyranny really is and why they feared it so much. I have a really bad feeling you will understand tyranny in your lifetime. All hail the empty suit but fear the people behind him. You've been sold, boxed, and about to be delivered.

Sarah took the money for the bridge. I suggest you talk to her.

(...) All hail the empty suit but fear the people behind him. You've been sold, boxed, and about to be delivered. you must be a neo-con I will defend the Constitution unlike Obama or McCain. As I have said in another thread this is a doom/doom election. I honestly don't think McCain was hired to win this election but to lose it after a convincing enough attempt. If he actually wins he may be in fear of his life.
