Did you ever think things could get worse in this

Things could get worse with Obama..

it'll be worse....just wait and see...already is and things coming to pass...and yet

Kaydie's right. He also said he wished
he had done more and this was after his pardon from Bill (what was up with that?) and isn't American great - you can get away with anything.
I have truly wished for a while that both candidates were black (sm)
because I thought that would take racism out of this election. One of my black friends, however, says that it would still be a racial election, because some people would think one candidate was catering more to "white" people and others would think they were catering to "black" people. I just hope we can get through all of this and have a country that can all get along, regardless of race or religion.
There have been lots of states who have elected candidates and wished they hadn't. sm
I, too, find the Viggo mortensen tie-in a little strange. I had to reread the entire thread and I only saw Hollywood, no one specific named, was there? Other than Willie and he isn't Hollywood. Anyhow, I don't like Dennis either. I can remember when he was all over the news going to do something about the gasoline prices and never heard another word out of him after he was elected. He's no different than most of them and no better than any of othem.
typo - meant cite things as hoax, not "site" things
Just thought I'd correct that before I get pummeled by the people who want to believe snopes is a truthful organization.
This is even WORSE!
You obviously can't come up with anything other than the religious right's OPINION of Phil Donahue. I won't waste my time reading any more of your so-called *proof.*
Believe it or not, just because you IMAGINE something to be true doesn't make it so.
This is how they know Phil Donahue and others on their hit list are athiests (copied from their site):
Most of the time, you can tell what a person believes by their lifestyle and the words that come from their mouth. An atheist has a hard time believing in anything other than his/her own reason. Reason is something that was given to man to be able to deduce solutions to problems. It is also able to make us feel like gods when we place more value on our own knowledge than what is told in the Bible.
There is hope for atheists, for God is drawing all people to Christ. Will they listen? Every atheist who has died now knows the truth and is no longer an atheists; famous or otherwise.
And this would be worse than
a president that thinks God choose him to be president to facilitate Armageddon?
we have put up with worse, think
kennedy family. In fact, there is a lot they never told us in school about almost all of them. I don't know the whole story on mccain, but I do know he is the only one running with any sense of military. Obama says he will consult with his wife and grandmother, McCain says the generals. as far as addiction, they are very clever at hiding things from their families. I have known several through the years with alcohol problems, same thing. Betty Ford Clinic. How come nobody cares about sporting figures or hollywood stars or singers? and yes, some of them do end up in politics before you go there. The truth is, the whole world is jaded and traditional values don't mean anything anymore, or at least it seems that way. I want to see a politician I CAN trust, who can take the hard road when he has to, and I think he will have to. I also take note of the fact that no democracy has much staying power after the morales have gone, when debauchery is the norm, and everybody grows tolerant, then you will soon see a lost nation.
Nothing worse than......
being blackmailed by someone to get our votes.........
which is worse . . . .
being called bitter or being called a redneck?
which is worse? .....sm
....the person doing the name calling.
None of it sticks, because it isn't true, and just reflects back on the poor judgment and character of those trying their darnest to be upsetting.
Worse
I heard last night that many of the forclosures are on loans made to illegal aliens because our government passed a law that something or other, I wasn't aware before, that had to give so many loans to them. So I say again, what I've said all along, our government allowing unbridled illegal immigration was going to, and now has bankrupted us. They take free medical care, free education, ALL the freebies and still want more. RIDICULOUS!!!!
Well, I for one don't know anyone who is worse off now than
4 or 5 years ago. Sure, we have taken a hit in the market, but the market always comes back, and that isn't our main source of investment anyway. In our circle of friends, who make between 75K to 500K a year, we don't know anyone who has not been able to make a house payment, CC payment, can't afford to send their kids to college, etc. Speaking for DH and I, we have never been late on any payment, never had an NSF, never over spent our CC limit. Not everyone is in dire financial straits. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who are in our situation who have planned for the future instead of living for today only. It is not uncommon or unheard of for people to be living within their means. I guess O considers us rich at 250K a year; wait until he decides that he needs to lower that figure to get the money he will need for all his "social programs" he wants to institute.
Joy is worse!
Joy is arrogant and nasty. Barbara Walters is getting pretty bad too. It may be because I agree with Elizabeth most of the time that I like her, but I cannot even stand the sound of Joy's voice, and those lovely faces she makes are great! I like Sherry, even though I usually don't agree with what she says.
No. Will most likely be much worse now with all
nm
I'm the same - its getting worse and worse
Purposely hiding his relationships? The first thing I thought of was treason.
It's even worse than that!
They don't vote themselves a raise - it's automatically built in so that someone has to introduce legislation and then have enough backers to stop the raise! That hasn't happened in eight years! Wouldn't you just love to have a $4,700 raise come January? I'd be happy with just half of that, considering I haven't had a raise in, well, ever!!!
Here's what I don't understand - why is it that we elect these people, basically hiring them, to work for us. Every time an election rolls around, all the policitians can talk about is how they work for us. Why is it that when one of them screws up, like Blago for instance, we, the employers of these people, can't fire them? Why is it that the government then has to get involved to "impeach" them, even as they sit in office and continue signing bills into legislature? We should be able to sign a petition basically firing that politician and kicking him/her out to the curb, right then and there. I know that then creates the position that there is no one filling that job - so the idea still needs some work, but I just don't understand why we have the "power" to employ someone, but not the power to get rid of them when they're not doing their job. You and I can't get away with that!
I saw the thing about the furniture being thrown out as well and yes, that just burned me up. Why couldn't they have donated that furniture to a homeless shelter or a Salvation Army? And why is it that when new senators and reps come in, they get to change their whole office - even paint! I liked the idea that another poster had about keeping all the politicians in their own states, a little closer to home, so they could see how their decisions affect the people who employ them.
I think I need to take a break from this board - I'm gonna get carpal tunnel from here, not from working! LOL!!!
I don't think it's any worse than..(sm)
most other commercials out there. It's a proven fact that sex sells. As far as healthy relationships, I would much rather my daughter have a healthy *relationship* with broccoli than something that comes with the risks of disease and pregnancy....ROFL.....LONG LIVE THE VEGGIES...
I would say that's no worse than...(sm)
than the famous AMA and Reagan's venture call the HMO.
How do you know it is worse? We should do nothing?
let the market take care of itself? We are living that way of thinking right now.
It will only get worse...
But goodness will always prevail. Nothing good about same-sex sexual relationships.
You mean it could get worse?

This is worse than sad. This is delusional.
It's the anti-American pathos of the left that leads to brain rot. I've seen it happen before. First they start calling everyone a liar, then they say they are hateful, then comes the Christian bashing and labeling. Next, brain fluid will start to leak onto the keyboard, but they won't notice because their mind is gone, I tell you, GONE.
It's no worse than what has been done on our board. sm
We just don't whine about it.
Sorry, the link looks worse than it is.
Just right click the square box and open link. Sorry.
and will get worse if Obama and big gov't take over.
nm
Biden is much worse. I think the guy has
nm
And even worse, 2 heartbeats away...
God forbid, Nancy Pelosi.
I have certainly been called worse.

I hope so too, but just when you think it can't get any worse
It is disgusting to see that the poster who replied to the ugly post above actually thinks that frail, elderly, living, breathing Americans who take their citizenship seriously enough to barely make it to the early polls and back home again should be DISREGARDED if they die. What is that? With any luck, they both are sterile.
You are in an even worse position than I am...
at least my mortgage is a fixed rate mortgage with a reasonable interest rate - not as low as what is being offered to those who are defaulting, but not too bad in the grand scheme of things. So--good luck to you!!!
Could be worse. There is talk that...
California is actually going to give IOUs to state employees instead of paychecks. Now, that is rough! But you can bet that if the state employee owes taxes this year, they will not be permitted to send one in.
It could be worse - you could be a politician!

Yes, I truly think we will get a worse deal...
...with universal healthcare than we have now. If you want to screw something up royally, give it to the gummint to run.
Good lord! Look at Canada or the UK, who have socialized medicine. You go into a Canadian clinic. It's a walk-in system. They don't make appointments. You take a number, which is 51. Number fifty is called. Then it's quitting time. You get sent home to come back another day and try your luck again. Need an MRI? Take a number. We'lll call you in 4-6 months - or you could go to the US for it. Need bypass surgery? We'll see about that.
It will become a triage system: You, sir, are 60 years old and overweight. Your cholesterol is too high. Why should we waste our precious resources on you when younger and more viable specimens are stacking up outside? No, you may not have an angioplasty - at least not this decade. NEXT!
Socialized medicine is a pretty good deal if you're young and don't need a lot of services - not so very good when you reach an age when you actually do need them.
U
OH NO!!!! He's much worse than a socialist....

Well you know if there is a worse outcome
from this, the O lovers will never admit that the messiah had anything to do with it. Then it will be all the Navy Seals fault. They will throw the seals under the bus while they continue to praise their lord.
Abuse in Iraq as bad or worse
What I would like to know is this: Where is the outrage from all those who were so eager to go in and get *the brutal dictator*?
Abuse in Iraq as bad or worse than in Saddam's day: Allawi
LONDON (AFP) - Human rights abuses in Iraq now are as bad, or worse, than they when Saddam Hussein was in power, the nation's first post-Saddam prime minister was quoted as saying.
In an interview with the Observer newspaper in London, Iyad Allawi pointed an accusing finger at the interior ministry, and alleged that a lot of Iraqis are being tortured or killed during interrogation.
People are doing the same as (in) Saddam Hussein's time and worse, said Allawi, an prominent opponent of Saddam who steered the US-backed interim government in Baghdad until April this year.
It is an appropriate comparison. People are remembering the days of Saddam. These were the precise reasons that we fought Saddam Hussein and now we are seeing the same things.
Allawi's remarks came two weeks after US troops raided a secret prison in Iraq and found about 170 detainees in need of water, food and medical attention.
Graphic pictures released by the Committee of Muslim Scholars, the main Sunni religious organisation in Iraq, showed prisoners with severe burns, massive bruising and welts on their bodies.
US military commanders and diplomats called the abuse intolerable, pressuring elected prime minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari into ordering a joint Iraqi-US inquiry.
Interior Minister Bayan Baqer Solagh has denied claims that he commands death squads targeting the Sunni minority, adding that only a few detainees were punched and hit in the prison and that US forces knew of its existence.
Allawi told The Observer that the interior ministry, though not Solagh, was at the heart of the matter.
I am not blaming the minister himself, but the rank and file are behind the secret dungeons and some of the executions that are taking place, he was quoted as saying.
He also said: We are hearing about secret police, secret bunkers where people are being interrogated.
A lot of Iraqis are being tortured or killed in the course of interrogations. We are even witnessing Sharia courts based on Islamic law that are trying people and executing them.
He said that if immediate action is not taken, the disease infecting (the interior ministry) will become contagious and spread to all ministries and structures of Iraq's government.
More broadly, Allawi warned of the danger of Iraq disintegrating in chaos, saying: Iraq is the centrepiece of this region. If things go wrong, neither Europe nor the United States will be safe.
Which image problem is worse?
Assuming image problems are of any importance whatsoever in the grand scheme of things. Yet there are some who continue to insist this is their "legitimate concern." Can this get any more juvenile?
Either one sucks. Politics at its worse.

I have to say this board is worse than the media
Yes, I'm both people...don't know how that happened but I'm both Kaydie and me (just wanted to make sure people didn't think I was trying to be evasive or sneaky or something)
Talk about instanteous cut downs without even doing any research.
I stopped watching MSNBC when they cut her down for no reason. I listen to FOX to a certain extent (I cannot stomach Hannity - think he is the most condescending irrational person on TV - he makes my skin crawl), but I'm trying to go everywhere to hear view points. But this board is bad. Because I so strongly supported Barack until yesterday, when I opened my mind and started learning more about her and her experience and what she has done for the people of her state the more I like her. I almost feel like I've come off of some drug-induced high or something and can see clearly now. I'll admit - I still like Obama (though I'll get some criticism from some on that), I just like Sarah more and I think she would be a better President than Obama.
Don't you think that is a bit extreme? She is no worse than anybody else and at least she doesn&
I may disagree with most of what she says but she doesn't resort to name calling, except maybe in sarcasm. I would even go so far as to say she is doing some actual debating, albeit maybe a bit much.
Here's my list of worse than Bush
Clinton (both of them), Gore, Kerry, the guy who loves his hair (can't think of his name right now - was Kerry's running mate) - okay, not fair I know they are all democrats. Lets see rupublicans worse than Bush...Alan Keyes, Pat Buchanan, oooh...how about this one....Dan Quayle. HA HA HA. All I can say is the country is due for something better than Bush/Cheney.
Yeah a change for the worse - sm
I went to the website and I come out even. It's all the other programs he will implement to meet his social agenda. All the programs for the needy that I will be taxed for. Not to mention the $10,500 bill I'm going to have to pay because Obama doesn't want to hold the people responsible and in the end put the burdon on us. So I will be paying more in taxes with Obama. I did with Clinton too, and boy did I pay. Was in the poor house through that administration.
Well, you're probably gonna need it worse
Because after you see your paycheck dry up to support the "entitled" in your town, you will be so anal, you will need one.
yeah, does get worse with each administration.
nm
You'll probably wish you didn't ask - this is worse
I found that quote on a page of quotes, but as I kept researching I found this link that said the quote is updated and corrected. It is right out of his book. Actually it would have been less damaging if they left it as is. Here is the link.

or the possibility of change for the worse
Not all change is good, you know??
Rahm Emanuel seems worse to me.
