I beg to differ, it IS about "we" people.

In Reply to: Your link did not work. Hey, I don't trust either one of them. - I just came across it.
Yes, I am a middle class American. I still have healthy savings and the credit cards I have are not maxed, because of choices I have made. You cannot blame the Republicans for peoples' bad decisions. I am not a Republican; I am an Independent. Though I have to say...if any party has been hijacked it is the Democrats...might as well change the name to the socialist party, because that is what it has become. That is evident in the posts I see here. They have convinced you that the wealthy people/corporations in the world are evil. If you knew how corporations figured into the economy of this country, you would know that is just not true. Corporations employ millions of Americans. Small businesses employ most of the rest of us. Democrats want to tax them into oblivion and drive even more business offshore to get out from under the tax burden. We have a higher tax on our businesses than any other country...which makes us extremely noncompetitive. THAT is why we lose jobs overseas and jobs here. Because the Democratic party has put the rax rate so high.
I don't want more and bigger government...I want less. I don't want higher taxes. I want less. I want businesses to be able to open and operate and compete with business outside our shores rather than join that business to get out from under taxes. I would like for Democrats to follow the entire Constitution and Bill of Rights, not just the parts that serve their agenda. I would like to get back to the place in America where we are Americans first, and Democrats/Republicans second. I would like politics in Washington to change, and Obama is not the one to do that. He and his VP are the #1 and #3 most liberal senators in the senate. They are washington politics as usual. Obama's entire career has been washington politics as usual...as is Biden's...30 years in the senate in washington. They are exactly opposite of any change. That is simple fact.
As to Republicans not making country stronger...that is the one major thing I agree with Bush on. He HAS kept this country safe. He has kept us on the offensive. And that is why we have not had another attack. AL Qaeda is much weaker. We drove them out of Iraq. I have no reason to think McCain will not continue that. He has said he would, and with his military experience, I believe him.
Obama is scary to me for that reason. I think he is soft on terrorism. He talks about "factions" of radical Islam and how you have to identify the "faction." That says to me he doesn't get it.
I do not agree that all the kids want Obama. However...this election is about all Americans, young, middle-aged, older. We all matter in this election.

what "we" want is hardly the
issue. The "folks" are gonna vote based on the level of reasoning they use in their everyday lives. Will they vote from fear and the idea that the devil one knows is better than the devil one does not know. Will they vote based on reasoned assessment that the country is circling the drain after 8 years of republican rule and the only hope is to wrest control of the country from their incompetent hands? I am pleased with the way the polls are trending. They are more thinking americans than there are cowering americans. We'll try to save you even if you are dragged into the light kicking and screaming.
"We have seen this movie before...
it's called Hugo Chavez and Venezuela." PERFECT comeback. And I got blasted for suggesting there were liberals in Congress who wanted to nationalize oil. So I will say it again...far left liberals like Maxine Waters, Barack Obama, Ted Kennedy to name a few...ARE socialists, just more sneaky about it...until she just got ticked and blurted it out. We better ALL hope they don't go there. That is the danger of voting in socialists. Good-bye America, hello Venezuela.
"We" know no such thing. Please do not
The scope of the issue is obviously beyond your comprehension.
"We've got them just where we want them." JM.
This is what we hear after being told JM would make a statement on the economy.
"WE" were never told about anything.....
That's the problem. We, the citizens of this country, the ones who the govt is supposed to work FOR, put this into law without even Congress being consulted....without congressional consent...PERIOD!
The only "objectives" are being pushed through quietly by Obama and unless people wake up and start protesting loudly and clearly, and taking back this country, we are going to be another russia.... for those that don't believe that, then ask yourself why Russian politicans AND European politicians are telling Obama he needs to stop what he is doing, that he is heading down the wrong path; the very one THEY have already been down! How telling is that?!
My favorite is SR's "We don't know what plan is"
nm
"We know" -- ouch I am being excluded.
I shall probably die.
or the other quote...."we will take them over from inside...
without firing a shot." I agree, "bombing everything off the map" is not something you would engage in with Russia...but being firm is essential. They have to know that any aggression would be answered. To put it in very base terms, they want to see if he blinks...if there is a chink they can exploit. Will reserve any supposition or comment until he responds...giving benefit of the doubt and all that.
who in the world are you referring to as "we"
I never saw respect for Bush coming from the opposing side.
I agree that this day shouldn't be about bickering at all... and I welcome the new President
but please who are you referring to when you say "we" because that is a nice comment that you made, it makes sense you didn't like his policies, that is okay, but you really dont believe for a minute that people defended up?
wait i just read it again and you MUST be being sarcastic...
When they have to cough up "we are bankrupt."
Nobody has the balls to say the word. We print Monopoly money because we don't have anything else. Try spending that before long.
Enough is enough already!
"we'll bury you???"...(sm)
You guys are wising up? ROFL...I would say you're just mad because you are going down the tubes with your party.
In case you haven't noticed (and I'm sure you rarely notice much of anything), intimidation and threats on message boards rarely work and serve only one purpose -- that is to make those who would use these tactics look like a fool.
Maybe you should change your threats to threats of torture ---- that worked soooo well for Bush...Yeah, he's going down, and it's about time!!! 
says "we're sorry...this video is no longer available...nm

"we" did the right thing....no, you're wrong there.....a lot of
people, mostly young, were bamboozled.

Unless you like total government control, and social medicine, and social economics.....
We may never recover from President Obama, at least not in my lifetime.
I did not vote for him. I wish him well, but his choices as he is leading up to his inauguration do not bode well for our country on a whole, especially our children and grandchildren.

take the blinders off. I thought Bill Clinton was a great Preident and humanitarian, but a LOUSY husband, but the country did not marry Clinton, and the Pubs with Ken Star and his WITCH HUNT went after Bill for what he did in his private sexual life that had nothing to do with his job as President. Wow, we impeached the guy and spent millions of tax dollars doing it!!! Yay! But he still led us one of the most prosperous times in American History budget-wise, and if he is kinky in his bedroom, so what? Do you want someone in your bedroom? What do you guys use as a measure for success? Blind loyalty was what REALLY got all the people to drink the Kool-Aid down in Jonestown, and with all the denial about the Bush years, I feel like we are down there in that jungle.
Beg to differ
Actually, Robertson is probably part of the White House staff.
And actually Robertson probably broke a law when he threatened Chavez life. That's not free speech anymore.
I beg to differ, try looking it up
PNAC is real and what American Woman posted is real. You need to learn to research things yourself instead of believing what you hear out of Bill O'Reilly or Hannity et al. Try Google someday and look it up. You might actually get ::gasp:: informed!
I beg to differ
My point in bringing this up was not about stem cell research, was not about Democrats or Republicans using people as props, it was simply and only about 1 man ridiculing another. I saw the original Rush, I saw the MJF ad, I saw the Rush apology. I was reacting to the original Rush and I thought it was over the top cruel. Whether or not MJF was on meds or not on meds was not my point. My point was that a young man has Parkinson's and a person in a position to reach thousands ridiculed him and in watching the initial video I was really sickened. It was just so cruel. So that is my point, the fact that Rush did a despicable thing, in my opinion. That's all. My post was not to address stem cell research or political pandering or any of the other ludicrous things people say and do to get into office. It was a mere statement that one able bodied man made fun of one who is not, in words and actions.
AS an aside, if MJF had made that ad for the other side, say he was on TV , appearing exactly as he did in the Democratic ad and he said something along the lines of **I have Parkinson's and although it is devastating as you can see, stem cell research is not the way to go.** would you have thought he was being manipulative or off his meds or acting. Would you judge him as harshly??

Marines Discover Terror Training Camp Near Baghdad
Wednesday, April 16, 2003
BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. forces came upon a recently abandoned terrorist training camp on the outskirts of Baghdad where recruits were apparently taught how to make bombs and what to do if they got captured, the Marines said Wednesday.
The extensive camp consisted of about 20 permanent buildings on 25 acres south of the city and was operated by the Iraqi government and the Palestine Liberation Front, said Marine spokesman Cpl. John Hoellwarth.
Among the documents found were filled-out questionnaires that included such questions as "What type of missions would you like to carry out?" according to Hoellwarth. He said many recruits wanted to carry out suicide missions.
The camp included an obstacle course and what appeared to be a prison, to teach terrorists what to do if captured and interrogated, Hoellwarth said.
Recruits were also apparently taught how to make bombs, he said. The Marines found chemicals, beakers and pipes.
Hoellwarth said uniforms and gas masks were also left behind, along with bread and other food, suggesting the place had been used fairly recently.

Press Reported Extensively on Iraq-9/11 Links
Confounded by a recent Washington Post poll that showed 69 percent of Americans now believe that Iraq had a hand in the 9/11 attacks, journalists are pressing the Bush administration to deny the notion unequivocally - in an apparent bid to undermine what for many was the most compelling rationale for making war on Baghdad earlier this year.
That why reporters this week questioned Vice President Di*k Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and even President Bush on whether they believed that Iraq had anything to do with the kamikaze attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
But if reporters really want to know why Americans see ties between Baghdad and 9/11, they need look no further than their own archives, where they'll find repeated and as yet undisputed reports documenting compelling evidence of Iraq's role in the attacks.
A Lexis Nexis search for the three months after 9/11 turned up no fewer than 85 mainstream news reports describing, for instance, activities at the terrorist training camp Salman Pak.
Here's what the New York Times said about the camp six weeks after 9/11:
"New information does suggest that Mr. Hussein was actively training terrorists to attack American interests throughout the 1990's.
"One example is the testimony of Sabah Khodada, a captain in the Iraqi army who emigrated to Texas in May after working for eight years at what he described as a terrorist training camp at a bend in the Tigris River just southeast of Baghdad."
According to the Times, Khodada described the camp as "a highly secret installation" where "non-Iraqi Arabs from Persian Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia" received training in "assassinations, kidnapping, hijacking of airplanes, hijacking of buses, hijacking of trains, and all other kinds of operations related to terrorism."
In comments unmentioned by the Times but covered by PBS, Khodada said that when he saw the twin towers fall he thought to himself, "This was done by graduates of Salman Pak."
Here's how National Public Radio characterized Iraq's link to the 9/11 attacks in a report the same month:
"The case against Iraq is based on three things. First, Mohamed Atta, believed to be the key organizer of the September 11th attacks, met earlier this year with an Iraqi agent in Prague.
"Second, Iraq's stockpiled anthrax as a biological weapon.
"And third, recent allegations that there's a camp in Iraq where foreign terrorists are trained. The allegation about the terrorist training camp comes through a recent Iraqi defector. According to this story, the camp is located near the town of Salman Pak, southeast of Baghdad, and it contains a Boeing jetliner that could be used to train hijackers how to seize a plane."
Charles Deulfer, former Deputy Head, U.N. Special Commission for Iraq, told NPR, "There were lots of places in Iraq where training of non-Iraqis, or things, which by our lexicon would be considered terrorism, was taking place. That's why Iraq is on the terrorist list. Having a large aircraft, a 707, in a peninsula, completely visible from the air or from satellite, with no airline runways nearby, that's not there by accident."
"Meet the Press" host Tim Russert, who last week claimed that "no one" believes in an Iraq-9/11 link, was also singing a different tune in December 2001.
Interviewing Vice President Dk Cheney, Russert cited the then-recent comments of former CIA Director James Woolsey.
"We know that at Salman Pak, on the southern edge of Baghdad, five different eyewitnesses - three Iraqi defectors and two American U.N. Inspectors - have said - and now there are aerial photographs to show it - a Boeing 707 that was used for training of hijackers, including non-Iraqi hijackers trained very secretly to take over airplanes with knives."
Russert then displayed satellite imagery of Salman Pak for his audience, telling Cheney, "And we have photographs. As you can see that little white speck – and there it is, the plane on the ground in Iraq used to train non-Iraqi hijackers."
Then the NBC newsman asked incredulously, "Do you still believe there's no evidence that Iraq was involved in September 11?"
New York Times columnist William Safire went even further, detailing in late October 2001 extensive ties between bin Laden, his henchmen and Saddam's intelligence service leading up to 9/11.
"Faruq Hijazi, in 1994 Saddam's secret service director and now his ambassador to Turkey, has had a series of meetings with bin Laden. These began in Sudan, arranged by Hassan al-Tourabi, the Sudanese Muslim leader, and continued in Afghanistan. The conspiracy was furthered in Baghdad in 1998 between bin Laden's No. 2 man, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and Saddam's vice president, Taha Yasin Ramadan."
Safire continued, "To strengthen Saddam's position in the Arab world during his 1998 crisis with the U.N., bin Laden established the 'World Islamic Front for Jihad Against the Jews and the Crusaders.' The Muslim-in-name Iraqi dictator reciprocated by promising secure refuge in Iraq for bin Laden and his key lieutenants if they were forced to flee Afghanistan."
More from Safire:
"Bin Laden sent a delegation of his top AL Qaeda terrorists to Baghdad on April 25, 1998, to attend the grand celebration that week of Saddam's birthday. It was then that Saddam's bloody-minded son Uday agreed to receive several hundred Al Qaeda recruits for terrorist training in techniques unavailable in Afghanistan.
"That Baghdad birthday party, according to an unpublished spying report, celebrated something else: Uday Hussein's agreement with bin Laden's men to formally establish a joint force consisting of some of Al Qaeda's fiercest 'Afghan Arab' fighters and the covert combatants in Iraqi intelligence unit 999."
With the exception of Mohamed Atta's meeting with Iraqi intelligence in Prague, none of the above information has ever been disputed. In fact, in May of this year, Manhattan U.S. District Judge Harold Baer ruled that Iraq played a material role in the 9/11 attacks in a case brought against Baghdad by families of two World Trade Center victims.
But for a mainstream press that now seems primarily interested in making the case that President Bush made war on Iraq under false pretenses, these old reports and dozens more like them are suddenly very inconvenient. That's why they've disappeared down the media's collective memory hole.
Unfortunately, President Bush gave reporters a giant helping hand in perpetuating their cover-up when he said on Wednesday that even he didn't see any evidence tying Iraq to 9/11.
The White House is said to be reluctant to press the issue because CIA Director George Tenet has dismissed all evidence of a connection. The Salman Pak defectors, for instance, were reportedly treated dismissively in interviews with CIA debriefers who showed no interest in pursuing a possible Iraq-9/11 link.
Selective memory is a wonderful thing, ain't it??
Beg to differ on this.
In this regard, I don't think that 30 years of experience is a political liability, nor do I think choosing him is contradictory to the progressive change message. An example (of many) would be Biden's expertise in foreign policy, though certainly that is not all he brings to the table. This is one of the areas where change is most urgently needed. Fareed Zakharia interviewed Obama on his GPS program last weekend. For those fortunate enough to hear it, any doubts that Obama is right for this role would have been dispelled. He spoke with eloquence, confidence and strength about his rich understanding of Islamic principles, parties, politics and cultures. He, more than any other politician (including Biden) in recent times, expresses and manifests the VISION our country needs to turn the politics of war into the politics of effective diplomacy. As a perfect complement, Biden brings the bricks and mortar needed to transform this vision into a reality that, not only will clean up the mess we currently find ourselves in, but will also, in the long-term, help to restore the credibility and respect we have lost in the international community during the past 8 years…something that comes in mighty handy in the war on terrorism, that is of course, if peace on earth is the goal.
Joe Biden helps mitigate right-wing accusations of elitism by bringing his appeal to the middle-class worker into play. Washington DC is not Joe Biden's comfort zone. To borrow a few media buzz words, the kitchen table politics as exercised in coffee shops along the way by a daily AmTrak single father/husband/family man commuter are more his style. His dedication to domestic violence initiatives over time resonates strongly among those whose lives are directly impacted by this tragedy. This issue is not exactly a top priority among upper crust elitists. He helps to energize some of our country's most disenfranchised, whose turnout to vote could play a pivotal role in the outcome of this election.
Not enough experience versus too much experience. Some can find fault on opposite ends of any spectrum in their quests to generate discontent and doubt. What is important here (in terms of "change" and "hope") is whether or not an old-timer (or a relative newcomer, for that matter) has the capacity to approach the problems we face and the failures we must address in the spirit of finding new, fresh, inspiring and progressive proposals and the ability to gain consensus and MOVE FORWARD, away from the bipartisan bickering and politics as usual dogma that has brought us to this dark hour in our nation's history. Personally, I believe Joe Biden possesses all the qualities necessary to apply hard-earned lessons to a progressive agenda that are completely consistent with campaign message of hope and change.
I beg to differ but there are
many mothers who work full-time jobs and have children. In this day in age, it is very difficult to have only a one income family. Your thinking of woman staying home to be barefoot and pregnant is so outdated it is not funny. This reminds me of my mother's yearbook where each student had listed their life ambition and about every woman put "to be a housewife." Things have changed since the 50s.
Once again, why is this only directed to SP? Obama has young children. Why is it so crucial to say that SP should stay home to take care of her children instead of running for VP and not say the same for Obama and running for president. A dad is just as important as a mom....so if you use this against SP...the same can be said against Obama.
So let us return to the 21st century where women have careers as well as children.

"only what is told to you in your buildings you visit each week to get your weekly dose of brainshwashing)"
Now that's bitter. I'm not sure what church you went to, but in the building I visit, we are not taught to hate others but to love one another, regardless of how they act towards you. BUT, that does not mean we are to lay down, roll over, and let someone take this country down a road to destruction and destroy the very thing where so many before us came in hopes of making their lives better,i.e., hard work with the hope of actually becoming profitable.
You are right though about Obama.......the the core he is a Muslim, and they don't believe in letting you be rewarded for your hard work.
"My Muslim faith" wsa enough except for those who refuse to see and he said with his own mouth he is a Muslim, and not just by birth.
You make a good point when you say they contradict themselves. They accuse Christians of hating gays but Obama says he is a Christian. O lovers do hate it when you back them in a corner.
I would beg to differ with
It's the democratic congress that has ruined this country. Bush DOES NOT have absolute power. Did you real this entire post from the OP? Did it not frighten you that God Almighty could very likely turn his back on our country? I know when I read the scripture quoted in this post, it literally brought tears to my eyes. It scares me! America needs to WAKE UP...

I would give no credibility to Youtube period. I am not looking for anything to praise Obama for....yet. Time will tell. If time tells he has done a good job I'm sure it will be reported in the regular news. If he does bad the same will happen. Fox News will make sure of that!

Bringing in the link about Johnston's mother's drug charges were intended to further the case against Palin.
As for hostility, no, I'm not hostile. I'm just tired of seeing people raked over the coals again and again for things that are beyond their control. What good purpose does it serve? Does it make you feel somehow morally superior that your daugther is not pregnant without the benefit of marriage or that your child's boy/girlfriend's mother hasn't been brought up on drug charges?
Give it a rest and get a life already.
I beg to differ.
The points BB made and the issues she raised will remain burned in the memories of many those who suffered through his 8 years of h*ll on earth.
I have to beg to differ here........... sm
Government programs are fine for those who have fallen on hard times and are unable to care for their children, and granted, there are others who abuse the system. However, an unmarried woman who is on disability and already draws assistance from the government for the care of her existing 6 children should not go on to birth 8 more children and expect the government to take care of her and them. This was no accidental pregnancy, this was a carefully planned and executed pregnancy done by in vitro. While this does not make in vitro in and of itself wrong, it does show an extreme lack of common sense and good judgment by a woman who does it for selfish purposes, that being her own admission that she wanted children because they would love her and not leave her, and who obviously cannot afford the children she has, much less 8 more. It also shows a disturbing lack of concern for other people, people who will be footing the bill for her and her brood for a long time to come in a state where there is basically no money left and is having to lay off over 20,000 people as it is. How can you say that it is nobody's business but her own? Seems to me it is the entire state of California's business as they are the ones who will be supporting her.
I won't even go into the logistics of caring for 14 children, all under the age of, what, 6 or 7 and 8 of them newborns.

I live in a small village in SW Iowa (population 8- though 1 is in a nursing home for now). Contrary to popular belief, some of us are actually quite literate, can punctuate and use proper English, both American and The Queen's. We don't all have wheat chaff between her lips, nor do we all chew tobacco. We don't all vote Republican and some of actually managed to get beyond the 6th grade. We don't all read the bible, nor do we all marry at 16.
So, please, stop assuming everyone whose conduct you don't approve is from the midwest. Obnoxious knows no geographical boundaries.

This is where our beliefs differ...sm
*...and we need to support our country's efforts in Iraq and support the men and women who are there trying to keep just this thing from happening.*
Your Rush Limbaugh cup runneth over. Sure anything can happen in America, but it is ridiculous to believe that us pulling out of Iraq is going to be our death certificate. That somehow we will just lie down and surrender the USA to Arabs.
where our beliefs differ....
I don't listen to Rush Limbaugh on a regular basis (unlike some liberals, I am fully capable of forming an opinion without the help of others), and the opinion I stated is my own. Ever heard the old saying the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step...? Well, every time we pull out of somewhere or ignore an opportunity (like Bill Clinton did out of Somalia, like Bill Clinton did in NONreponse to HOW many terrorist attacks during his presidency) we lay the groundwork for defeat. What makes you think that the same waffling liberals now won't be the same waffling liberals who run to Canada or anywhere else they can if we are attacked here? Tell me, Democrat, why should I believe you or put faith in your party who want to run yet again, to NOT to just lie down and surrender the USA to terrorists? Please tell me how I can have confidence in that? Because you SAY you will?? You need to understand these people...every weakness you show empowers them. They would see us pulling out now as a great victory. Maybe YOU want to give them that. I DO NOT.
I beg to differ. The crowds were not as big...sm
as 2+ million but the excitement was exactly the same.
I beg to differ but Obama
does have an agenda and a long list of things he has promised already. Just because he just moved in doesn't mean he can't make a moronic decision right now. He is already trying to pass a stimulus bill that I feel won't do a darn bit of good. I have a right to look at his promises and and see which ones I think are good and which ones are bad. I have a right to watch him from day 1 to see what his intentions are. It really bothers me that you people think we should just sit back and wait for something bad to happen before we start questioning things. Things are going on now....yes...even in his first week. This doesn't mean I'm not giving him a chance. I accept that he is my commander and chief. I have the highest respect for him for becoming the first African American president. He is a good speaker....minus some of the uuuuuuuhs....and I think his two little girls are adorable.
It is my job as an American citizen to take pride in my country and want what is best and in doing so....I have to watch and make sure that the people who have been voted into office are doing the right thing for America....not their own personal purses and wallets. I have a right to question what he wants to do. I have a right to contact my congressman and senators and let them know if I think they are idiots or not. That doesn't mean I'm not giving them a chance....but I am watching closely.
I beg to differ with you! Our forefathers sm
DID found this country on Judeo-Christian values! Go back and read some REAL history books that haven't been "sanitized."
The way they are re-writing history now, they are taking everything out that this country was really founded on.
You are very wrong!
There are a lot of Southern Baptists around here who would differ with you. sm
My husband's church, where his uncle is the pastor, definitely believes Revelations is telling of the future. There have to be a thousand different interpretations of Revelations out there. But there are definitely churchs who believe differently that what you are saying.
I beg to differ, you are definitely not a stupid redneck. LOL! nm

I have to beg to differ with you on one point, Marmann.......... sm
Biracial offspring have existed in this country for many, many years, dating back to the days of slavery when white slave owners would take a slave to be their mistress or even rape an unwilling black slave just because they could. It has even been said that Thomas Jefferson fathered children by one of his slaves. And if Obama was born in Hawaii as he says he was, the culture there was much different than the mainland US, even though there were miscegenation laws in place at the time of his birth. If I understand Obama's family history correctly, his mother and father did not live together in the US, with the possible exception of Hawaii, during their marriage. Most, if not all of their marriage, was lived out in Indonesia.
But I digress........
Whether the man in the White House is black, white or another race or any combination thereof is of no consequence to me. The qualifications based on the Constitution and experience and knowledge to effectively and safely lead America are first and foremost and should be on the mind of every voting American.
Sorry, I beg to differ - a 6 week blob of tissue is not a CHILD yet. nm

So you and your daughter have no problem with people who wish for people and their children sm

You might want to check that out and while you are at it, the conservative board has been a regular play pen since the liberals stopped their hateful dive bombing. In fact, some really good conversations are taking place over there between both sides, which DOES NOT happen on this site.
