He is? Have you ever heard him speak without a Tele-Prompter? The guy can be a babbling idiot.

He and Hill-yuri are both Socialists (and not in a good way) - and, trust me, she is NOT dead yet. She will try for the party’s nomination later this month in Denver - mark my words.

I honestly think the majority of Americans are looking for a savior. Not the truth. If a candidate actually came up and told them the truth about the state of our economy/nation in general and also told Americans that THEY are responsible for their own lives and should save themselves, that’s as far as their campaign would go. I hear people saying the same phrase “The govt. sould do something about this”. They don’t look at themselves and say “What can I do to change my situation?” I’d just like to govt. to stop wasting money so they don’t have to keep dipping our pocket or take on more foriegn debt when they run out.
Ron Paul!
People are scared to death of the truth, if either of these candidates were to
talk about what it would REALLY take to get our country on track, and the time
it would take and how much things would suck. You would have Opra as a
write in nomination victor, people want to be lied to.
Case in point, not picking on just one guy but Obama was at a rally and said he
would tax big oil for making obseen profits, and take that money and give it to
the tax payers as some sourt of rebate…the audiance went nuts, they loved it.
Are we to stupid to realize that if we were to tax the oil companies, extra taxes
to think that they wouldnt raise oil prices and that would negate any tax rebate
you might see.
Democrats tax & spend. Republicans borrow & spend. If this country were a business, it would fail. There is SO much waste in govt. spending, its crazy!
As many of you know, near Fredericksburg, Texas, there is a large German-speaking population. A farmer walking down a country road notices a man drinking from his pond, with his hand.
The Amish man shouts, “Trink das wasser nicht. Die kuhen haben dahin gesheissen”, which means: ‘Don’t drink the water, the cows have [crapped] in it’.
The man shouts back, “I’m from New York and just down here campaigning for Obama, I can’t understand you. Please speak in English”.
The Amish man says: “Use two hands, you’ll get more”.
(Lighten up, it’s a joke! I just got it in first before it was a ‘McCain joke’)
Vice President Who? :anon
Who will President John Mcain select as a running mate?
Who will Senator Obama pick to run with him, Hillary?
Thoughs on this? :terminator
Haha a good one. But if it was a McCain joke a conservative would more likely say, "Learn english old man or go back to France where you came from!
One of the reasons I don’t like to engage in political discussion is because of people like Mike. He is acting out of passion and hatred for Obama and is speaking straight from the Republican discredited talking points. He is even referring to Obama as Osama without realizing that Obama is not even a muslim name but West African and Barak is a hebrew name. Al Queda was Sadam’s biggest enemy because they hated the secular Sadam. In fact, they came into Iraq after the fool we elected as president invaded Iraq after duping people like Mike. He did not manage to dupe 99% of the remainder of the world, thank God. Al Queda’s only mission in Iraq is to drive the infidels out and they will again retreat once the US pulls out. Even the Iraqis recognize that. Al Sadr has already declared he will lay down arms when the US puts a timetable in place (he is not Al Queda because he is Shiite). As for Israel, one of the few people that can bring peace to the middle east is Obama because he is viewed an an honest broker. He will be the best thing for Israel and is probably the only American leader that can bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
The world loves Obama for a reason and it’s because they hate Bush and his policies. Take a cue.
Mike, I know your type. I see them all over the internet spreading smears and hate. Take what Mike says with a grain of salt. He is not being rational.
Mike,
One more thing. Are you the christian you say you are? I’ve always loved reading your post but I am so so disappointed in your. To think that you claim to be a man of God but could spew so much hatred for someone you do not know and obviously not familiar with his positions, is sad indeed. Check out fightthesmears.org and barackobama.com.
Quite the contrary. Read what’s the matter with Kansas.
Nice post. The fact is no one President could not change our deeply entrenched captilalistic system and those that say the contrary are just plain old paranoid. In Mike’s case, I suspect he is using it to mask his deep animosity and discomfort toward Obama as a candidate period.
Why do you have to bring politics into this forum.Politics has no place here.
Quite the contrary, there is no single thing that is more pertinent to real estate investors than the next election. We are at a critical point in our society - the point at which we decide whether we want to have freedom and capitalism or whether we want to have socialism and government control of every aspect of our lives (it takes a village to raise a child). NAME ANYTHING THAT IS MORE PERTINENT TO REAL ESTATE INVESTORS THAN THAT!

First of all, I am not a Republican. In fact, if we wanted to be completely accurate, I am registered as a Democrat, since I voted for Billary in the primary. However, in reality, I certainly don’t believe in either the Democrat or Republican agendas - I am a conservative. I don’t take anything I say from any talking points, I simply say what I believe. If you carefully read my posts, you would see that I am very much against much of what the republicans have done - especially the new Medicare Drug Entitlement and the wild spending of President Bush and his administration.
However, I do have a particular dislike for Obama. He is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS because he is a socialist and wants to implement socialism in the United States. As an entrepreneur, there could be no greater threat to my business and my freedom. That’s why I call him Osama in my posts - because he WILL do more damage to the United States than 100 Osama Bin Ladens could ever do. Osama tried to destroy this country with 4 airplanes. Obama will destroy the very fabric of our country from within.
Mike
Mike,
You’ve just inadvertently revealed to the entire forum that you are motivated by pure unadulterated hate for Obama and is clearly masking the real reasons you don’t like him. Your admitting to voting for Hillary who hold the identical positions to Obama reveals your very core. By her record, the right wing nuts can easily label her as a flaming liberal but yet you admit to voting to perpetuate the same policies you so hate Obama for. Methinks you have a hidden agenda. That’s my last post on the subject because the direction of this subject stinks to high heavens. I second shutting down this thread.

When did we become such a politically correct society that the free exchange of ideas can’t occur?

I certainly do not hate Obama and I clearly stated the reason that I think he would make a terrible President - because he is a socialist.

“Youthinks” wrong. I voted for Hillary because the Republicans don’t have anything to offer and Hillary (like Bill) isn’t an idealist. Obama really believes in socialism. Hillary doesn’t believe in anything - except being president. She would like to be very liberal, but I believe that she would govern as Bill did - by focus group. In my opinion, she is infinitely better than Obama and I have a hard time voting for a Republican who isn’t a conservative. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want Hillary or McCain to be president, but either of them is better than an overt socialist.
Mike
You are either misguided or misrepresenting the truth. The fact is indisputably. Obama and Hillary are both liberal Democrats who hold identical policy positions. In fact, Hillary is more liberal because she wants socialized medicine/mandated premiums and Obama doesn’t. Obama has moved to the center on many issues just like Hillary would have done but of course he is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t because he can’t catch a break from guys like you. Calling him Osama is highly offensive to a man that have dedicated his entire life to the others. I don’t care how you want to parse your words and make up justifications on the fly to hide your real purpose. You haven’t fooled the people on here who can think for themselves. It’s these rabid people like you that have turned me from a Republican to an independent. I can’t stand the hate and hypocrisy that the Republican party has come to represent.
“came into Iraq after the fool we elected as president invaded Iraq after duping people like Mike.” - you mean the President of the US MADE-UP the intelligence that not only the rest of the world had and thought was accurate, but the previous Democratic administration used as justification for bombing Iraq? The same intelligence that the politicians had access to BEFORE granting him the power to act, along with how many security resolutions. You are indicting an entire world full of people when you say Bush “duped” Mike, including politicians, media, etc. .
“I can’t stand the hate and hypocrisy that the Republican party has come to represent.” - Talk about swallowing a party line (democrat - you might as well switch parties at this point). John, while I am an independent, the Democrats are the kings of hypocrisy and hate. That being said, I love how people who have a different view of things are labeled as people who “hate” - how very open-minded… :rolleyes
This is the reason nothing gets done. It’s not “let’s present our ideas and viewpoints and let the people decide which they would like to follow”, no, instead we are distracted by the dance BOTH political parties put on… it’s, you’re a hypocrite, you’re a liar, you’re a homophobe, you wanna’ destroy the environment (Even thought 20years ago, Ted Danson declared that it would be destroyed in 10 years… again, ignorance, Al Gore is just another version in political clothing) you “hate” people because I disagree with what you say on any particular subject.
If our children talked or conducted themselves in such ways, they would be rightfully chastised.
Look at how one-sided the mass-media (who use OUR public airwaves) is… it might explain why you are buying this stuff hook-line-and-sinker, down to the talking point… Think past party affiliation and think country-affiliation…

So, if you think that both Hillary and Obama are both equally socialist in their plans (I don’t), why would you support them if you’re in the REI business. Barack has announced that he will tax the rich; take profits from those evil businesses that are too profitable (he gets to decide what is too profitable); and pass a cap and trade system that will destroy our country? Why would someone in business support that?
Mike
Our political system is a mess right now. And it is truly scary how naive(johna1) some of the voting public is. Go to dailykos where you will feel more at home.
