In Reply to: to be afraid of...? - change
He keeps changing his mind. You want change? Boy are you going to get change. I am afraid a lot are going to regrete who they voted for down the road when welfare will be spreading around, electricity rates skyrocket. No more small businesses because people will be taxed over 250,000. Oh wait. It will be 200,000. Oh wait. It is 150,000 by Biden. Oh wait. Now it is 120,000. Next it will be 42,000. Gosh, cannot make up their mind. I could go on and on. The O says it is going to be difficult for us because he needs to "kill people's expecations" if he is president. HE FREAKS ME OUT. Been reading up on the GREAT DEPRESSION and about Hoover. Also been hearing reports of O's plans and he will probably put us through the biggest Great Depression in history. He will kill middle class first and then it will be welfare and the rich.

Not afraid of change...
It's not the change that scares me, but the fact that my money will be going to pay for someone else to have something I can barely afford for my own family. Already too much of it goes for that - think foreigners that get Medicaid to pay for all of their doctor visits. And yes, lots of legitimate claims are being denied, but do you think that's going to change when the government has thier hands in it? That's what's really scary. I don't even trust the government with the money they already get from me - what's going to happen when they get more, and more power to boot? The insurance industry needs a complete overhaul, that I agree with, but as far as letting politicians take over? I'm thinking that's not really the best plan.
and steal another 700 billion! Be afraid, be very afraid. nm

Change and Hope: Obama wants your change and hopes you enjoy starving.... sm
...while he's partying like a rock star with the glitterati.
Meanwhile, some little old lady is hoping he doesn't get a dog and sends her the dog food instead.
Yes, they're all nuts. The change they'll get is not the change they thought
I want change. Chump change. I'm voting for Obama as far as the pollsters go.
Obama is change you can believe in until you have to take it to the bank.
Our jobs have been offshored until now because of greed. Under Obama and his taxation of small businesses, they will be offshored not because of greed but because of survival.
You could make a difference for our country by not voting for Obama, but instead, if you vote for him, you are selling out to deception. You are embracing a socialist, a communist, a Marxist, a liar, a cheat, and someone who legally cannot run as President of the U.S., much less the Illinois senate. But, you make your choice. You believe the consumate liar and his lies who sat for 20 years under the teachings of a black racist preacher filled with hatred for the U.S., whose association with Bill Ayers is recent and documented down to the fact that Ayers himself wrote Obama's best-selling book (best-selling in the eyes of far left liberals that is), who is a documented member of the socialist party, whose friends and close allies are extremists who not only bomb innocent people and are unrepenetent but who intend to eliminate (kill) 25 million Americans who they cannot "re-educate" in communist ideaology (gosh dog it, those dreadful capitalists), who refuses to hand over a certified copy of his birth certificate and educational records (my goodness, don't you have to provide your birth certificate to any number of entities who want to know if you are legal, i.e., social security, DMVs, etc., and your educational records would show if you had received aid as a foreigner and in 1963 would have shown you were a negro instead of an African-American which Obama's falsified record shows, please speck up on history), and who thinks Joe the Plumber is so stupid not to realize that if he wants to achieve the American dream, he is going to achieve it only if he lets Obama take what he makes to give to those WHO WILL NOT WORK. I'd like to see you, liberals, give a share of your 7.5 cpl to those who don't work as hard as you, but then with Obama, that's what you will have to do. Don't be fooled by his rhetoric that only those making over $250,00 will be taxed. We will all be taxed, and there will be no incentive to work for any of us because we will all have to give up a piece of our pie so those who do not work can have a piece of our pie.
Here is the dividing line, folks. We are at a crossroads in our history. The Lord Jesus puts it this way, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction; and there are many who go in by it."
Choose which gate you enter, the wide or the narrow. It not only determines your eternal destination, but it determines the destination of this country. If anyone here calls themself a Christian and can vote for Osambo, I daresay you are a liar and cheat just as he. One cannot be a Christian and vote for a party and a political candidate who is in total rebellion to God's Word. That is a fact, and if you think any differently, then you, too, like the Obamanation, call God a liar. May He have mercy upon your soul. As He makes the rain fall on the just and the unjust because He is no respector of persons, we will all suffer as this country is destroyed and our Constitution that guarantees our freedoms is trampled just as Bill Ayers is pictured standing upon our flag in total disrespect, and we will thank you liberals that we are all in bondage, reduced to third world status, just as the Israelites were in Egypt. Only Obama ain't no Moses but a Muslim and has no favor with God, and there will be no one to lead us to the Promised Land coming from the Democratic party.
I agree with change....change to socialism...
NO THANKS.
Oh, I am afraid I do. And please tell me sm
how you know that I am a Christian? You are ignorant beyond belief. The Israelis are furious about the Gaza pull out and rightly so. Hamas has already said it is only the beginning and Jerusalem will be next. Do you read anything at all? This is news right out of Jerusalem. You are going on what you have been spoon-fed by the media. That's too bad. And by the way, politics has nothing to do what alignment with the Jews and their plight against Hamas. You should have figured that out by now.

Palestinian Authority
greenlights terror ops
'Resistance' against Israel discussed in meeting with Hamas, Jihad

TEL AVIV – Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Ahmed Qurei and members of various Palestinian terror groups this week decided at a meeting "resistance" against Israel would continue and would be coordinated at the national level until the Jewish state evacuates "all territories," WND has learned.
Earlier this week, it was reported Qurei held a private conference in Damascus with leaders of Hamas, Islamic Jihad and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. According to media reports, the parties reached an agreement under which the PA would not attempt to disarm the terror groups in spite of recent U.S. and Israeli calls for the groups to be dismantled after the Gaza evacuation.
But security sources close to the meeting told WND agreements reached at the conference went one step further – it was concluded the Palestinians would continue to use "resistance" against Israel until the Jewish state leaves "all occupied territories" – code for the destruction of Israel. The resistance, the sources said, is to be coordinated between the Palestinian groups and based on the foundations of Palestinian unity.
Qurei also allegedly discussed other ways of cooperating with the terror groups after Israel's Gaza evacuation is completed, and stressed that the focus of the Palestinian struggle must be turned to the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem
Said a security source, "Just the fact alone that the PA won't disarm the terrorists is already a green light to go ahead with attacks. But there is information the idea of future attacks were discussed and encouraged."
The revelations are significant. Since Mahmoud Abbas assumed control of the Palestinian government following the death last year of PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, the P.A. has been careful not to publicly endorse terrorism.
Islamic Jihad Chairman Ramadan Shalah yesterday echoed the alleged conclusions of the Qurei meeting in an interview he gave in Arabic to Al-Jazeera.
"We reached an agreement regarding a common strategy based on the premise that the resistance was a strategic option which should not be interfered with and which had to continue on a foundation of Palestinian national unity," Shalah said.
Shalah stressed the PA had agreed not to disarm his group "as long as Palestinian land was occupied."
At a press conference held after the meeting, Musa Abu Marzuq, a member of Hamas' political office, stated, "The real battle with Israel was on the West Bank. ... We hope there will be no disagreement with the Palestinian Authority regarding the weapon of resistance, because as long as the occupation exists the weapon must exist."
The same day Hamas, Islamic Jihad and local terror groups including the Democratic Front and the Jerusalem Battalions held competing parades in which each claimed their violence drove Israel out of the Gaza Strip.
Several thousand Palestinians attended a Hamas rally in Gaza and a separate victory procession in Nablus in which Hamas flags and models of the Temple Mount were waved, and mock tanks, rockets and even houses of Jewish settlers were displayed.
Hundreds reportedly attended a rally in Khan Yunis led by the Democratic Front, and about one thousand Palestinians marched in a Jerusalem Battalions victory procession in Rafah.
Afterward, the Battalions held a press conference in which a spokesman stressed his group's determination to "do whatever it took" to liberate the "rest of our land," including kidnapping Israelis and committing "resistance attacks."
I'm afraid you won't get your wish
Conservatives will continue to defend the most defenseless including but not limited to unborn babies.
No, I am afraid I don't.
And they are afraid of a man who...
might make their lives a little easier! Obama wants to stop giving tax breaks to companies who offshore and the majority of the MTs on this board are going to vote against him. Vote against Obama and you vote against yourselves too. Obama is against offshoring. He wants to keep it in America. Yet, all you anti-Obama's call him un-American. Obviously we all have more time to sit on this board and talk politics than work. That is because we have less and less work. Where do you think our work is going? We are a dying breed. Wake-up and smell the coffee!
to be afraid of...?
C'est LA vie.
Would you say that McCain is charismatic?
Definitely not.
He is just the Republican candidate.
Kerry had the same problem, he was too rigid.
Be afraid. Be very afraid! nm

I guess they're afraid of
kids being influenced and maybe going out and doing random acts of kindness.....
Nope, afraid we can't
as long as libs wan't to dig up dirt we'll continue throwing the mud you throw from your huge pig stye right back at ya...
Why are you so afraid of the truth? You should take...
this show on the road. They would love you in Berkeley.
Afraid to view it are you?
And it is the least of my worries what you consider trash...:)
Too afraid to show up at RNC.
nm
No one is afraid of him because he is black....
it is a valid concern that he is a racist.
However, his far left socialism is more concerning to me than his racism.
nuttin to be afraid of.....

I think that's what O lovers are afraid of....
Of course she doesn't have the power to single handedly divide the country. She says what she believes and she is either liked or not. Some agree, some do not. I couldnt' care less what she wears or all this other nit picky garbage the O lovers have resorted to out of desperation.
A true sign of desperation is pulling out such ridiculous notions and accusations and worrying about her wardrobe. Who cares? At least her money isn't coming from terrorist organizations to help her fund her wardrobe, campaign, or anything else for that matter.
Too bad O lovers don't care where his funds are coming from. They are afraid to find out because the truth "won't set them free".
Again, I am so afraid I can't type
I meant vote against Obama. You people have got to stop scaring me with these stories of Muslims taking over the world. How will I ever sleep at night?
I'm afraid it went down the toilet. nm

Someone is just jealous of Mrs. M I'm afraid
xxxx
I will admit that I am afraid, because
and what he states is no different than how the Arab leaders make their speeches.
I'm afraid O doesn't know exactly what he's doing.
He's trying to do too much - if he knew what he was doing, he'd do a little at a time and see what happened. It's like he's going by the principle that if you throw enough sh**, eventually some of it will stick. He needs to slow down and think about the repurcussions of what he's doing first - that was Bush's problem - he just jumped right in and didn't think about how it would affect anyone in the end.
Not afraid of looking foolish cuz...
Things are turning around in spite of people like you who prefer to sit and stew over the fact that the Democrats won.
Sorry, but the world is moving on with or without you.
Save your advice, you might need it.
I'm not afraid that Obama will.............sm
bring about peace in the ME because by my calculations, believers will be long gone before this is accomplished or shortly thereafter. What is concerning is that the "peace" you seem to think he is capable of achieving is not going to be peace at all but rather just the beginning of 7 of the worst years this planet can even imagine. Believers don't want others to have to go through that and that is why we try to tell others about it, but some just don't care to hear it.
And for what it's worth, my life isn't miserable in the least. Uncomfortable sometimes because of economic conditions, yes, but not miserable.
No one hates Bush, most are afraid of him.sm
I am definitely a moderate conservative and libertarian,but not Republican. Love my country, freedom, liberty. I am from Colorado Springs,and everyone I know is conservative, but they do not support Bush and the USA Patriot Act.
Democrats are afraid of Palin
Democrats are so afraid of S. Pain that they sent 30 lawyers, investigators and opposition researchers to Alaska to dig into her record and background. What they can't find they will be making up.
Here are some facts:
- Palin did not cut funding for special needs education.
- She did not demand books be banned from the library. That librarian also continued in her job through Palin's first term.
- She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party.
- She has not pushed for teaching creationlism in school.
Here's the link to the full article. You just can't make up things that are not true (however the dems are doing just that and it's really going to come back at them).
http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/09/obamas-wasilla-airborne/
are you really that afraid of open debates you need to
reduce yourself to name-calling?
I am unsure who to vote for but one thing I know is it will be for whoever is going to make my life better.
Democrats might tax but the taxes go toward social programs, libraries, schools, afterschool programs, playgrounds, all of which are almost nonexistent where I live now since the last 8 years. Rich people walk around here like they are royalty, they pay no taxes and have no care or interest I helping those less fortunate, spare the very few who do.
the more I see on TV and the more I read on boards like these it seems to me republicans are afraid of democrats. when you see Bush sneering and snickering (many examples on youtube) he is not doing that towards democrats, he is laughing behind the backs of all the republicans who believe his lies. I think the joke is actually on the republicans more than democrats.
I have never seen such people be taken advantage of, and love it so much.
send your children off to war to die, give up all your social programs, take more out of your pocket, all so the rich people can slither around this country at their will with no responsibility toward it. that is left to the poor and the nonwhites.
I am starting to see the bigger picture here, I think Republicans do not believe in social programs because of greed, because no one should be able to make money unless you have the right skin color. Say, how many blacks in Alaska, anyway?
lets all lie down and just die for the rich republicans. here, take my money, my children, my hopes and dreams, my pride - just take it all and make sure to give me absolutely nothing back. Right on!
Obama not afraid to debate, that's all.
This is just another McCain gimmick, as in gas tax holiday. Politizing everything is another thing JM enjoys.
I am not afraid of McCain and he actually sacrificed

I am afraid he is going to let people down, already starting.

Exactly, dynamic mentality, the one you need to be afraid of.nm

I'm afraid we will find out all too soon what "it" is.
I don't think "it" is what all his loyal supporters think "it" is.
I agree, but afraid the country

Maybe you're not afraid of your own shadow...
feel super threatend by a guy who gives hope to millions and millions of Americans. No one cares about what's in your glass but your empty rhetoric is getting to be a real drag. The reason you can't understand the worshiping is because it is a figment of your imagination, so no one else will be able to explain it to you either. The woman was not expecting a check, just relieved to see someone take office who will be representing the interests of all Americans, not just the greedy corporation CEOs and super-rich top 1%. We listen to all of his speeches and are delighted and refreshed to hear someone who shoots from the hip and tells it like it is. Hate to disappoint you, but Obama supporters are realists who recognize the mountain of poop W leaves in his wake that he will have to climb over before he can get down to the business of what he will do best....turning the country around, getting us back on track and headed into a better and brighter future. You can twist and turn his words around till the cows come home to suit whatever acidic spew you have in mind, but what you have not noticed, dear, is that you are just preaching to the choir. Nobody else is listening.
As a former cop, I'm afraid I have to disagree with your assessment.
If I had read this report as a cop, I would have concluded that someone at DHS had come unglued, and it would have been laughed out of the squad room. It is virtually useless in terms of offering any actionable intelligence and it labels people who have very legitimate, NONRADICAL, viewpoints as potential threats.
This should bother all of us.
I am afraid Sir Percy was on a roll and just had to get all that hate out! nm
He is afraid of Bill O'Reilly, it's as easy as that....
Obama can handle the butt kissing and egg shell walking of Olbermann and Matthews but when it comes down to it, Obama can't answer real questions that would be poised to him by Bill.
I am not afraid of a black man raised by whites. sm
Flame away, but.....What I AM afraid of is people who cannot see the forest for the trees, those who are so bamboozled by his smoke and mirrors and snake oil, how this "black man raised by whites" is going to pay for all the pie-in-the sky promises he is making. We all know socialized medicine does not work. Look at all the Canadians coming here for their medical procedures etc. How much money can he take from the "have's" to give to the "have not's?" So if I make over $250K, then I have to give money to somebody who doesn't work and will never work? And don't even get me started on his stand on the abortion issue. Conversely, McCain does not have all the answers either. I don't know who would or who does, but I do know this: It is not Obama.
Scare tactics!! Ohhh, be afraid, be very
afraid. You rightwingers are such wimps! Well, as Roosevelt once said and as Barack Hussein Obama repeats, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself." The rightwingers have surely gotten to the skittish. I, for one, am very afraid of McPalin. Now there's reason to fear them. They have nothing to offer, just more of the same old politics and power-hungry greed. Get away from me! If you want to base your decisions on lies, then you all deserve whatever comes from McPalin, but the thing is that our country will be stuck in the mire for another four years. So big deal, McCain was shot out of the sky...so were hundreds of others, others have given their lives for this country but McCain votes against any bill that will cost anything to help them....some leader he will make. Makes me wanna puke! Country First...doubt it!!
McCain is afraid to debate Obama.
First, McCain tries to lower peoples' expectations of his debating abilities as compared to Obama's (see link). Now, he finds a way to weasel out of the debate while trying to convince people that it is for a noble reason. Who does he think he is kidding?

Wrong. People are afraid to question O about
nm
I'm afraid my history lesson disqualifies your argument.
be a smartass and ask what has changed since his statement. I simply stated the obvious answer. What has changed is his MIND. If he didn't feel qualified, he would not have run. Evidently, 65,431,955 citizens agreed with this chane of heart. You cannot argue away the fact that GREAT presidents have held office with much less experience than Obama...and I look for him to be adding his name to that list of the BEST our country has to offer in short order.
You just don't have the capacity to understand I'm afraid... see ya, not responding anymore nm
to you
Perhaps he was afraid of being attacked for mixing politics and religion
I don't think it was anything to get uup in arms about - but of course people get up in arms about EVERYTHING this man does - even to having pizza in the White House.
People need to quit grasping at straws and focus on important issues!
Switzerland is nice and backward, try there? How can you be afraid of human rights?
nm
DEFINITELY Change!
We have seen where experience gets us!!!! Look at it like this...
How many of you have ever worked a job before and your "boss" (with experience) knows a LOT less about the job than you do?! Bet you all never thought of it like that, huh?!
EXACTLY! And now we have someone who wants to change all that...
and only one side is even TALKING about it. That is the side getting my vote. And this post illustrates the problem with your side..."Repugnants." How is that productive? Zero! What crossing party lines have Dems done? Zero! It should stop on both sides, but the bitterness for whatever reason you see in the Dems on this board apparently is rampant throughout the country, one only has the read the blogs. It is just beyond ridculous, beyond childish, and until our elected leaders can move past it, we are stuck to repeat the same old mistakes over and over and over. One ticket is talking about changing that stagnant swamp in Washington, that is McCain/Palin, and that is one of the reasons I am voting that ticket this time around. They get it.
