The Republicans don't care about everyday people like most of the ones who post on this board. They only care about the richest of the rich. The Republicans are obstructionists and just waste space in DC. It's time they're voted out.

You must accept Michelle Obama's racist bent, then...
in the way she has spoken out, especially during the campaign months, correct?
Thanks for sharing your story. It was very moving. But I meant your bullying attitude towards other posters, when they don't engage you.
Not bent, just pointing out..
Rush just seems to have a problem keeping all his pills straight. What does that tell you. He's was buying stuff in parking lots. He was visiting multiple doctors. He has other people's medications on him and yet, he slams someone about pill use ...hypocritical I say.
We hate Bush, we hate Rush, we hate Rove...that is the right's mantra. Everytime we point out something that the right cannot defend or they just simple disagree with...out comes the ***the left's hatred is so palpable we can feel it. They are so negative and hateful about everything and everyone, *** That is just not true. I personally have not hated anyone in politics since Nixon and I was young then and did not realize that hating him would accomplish nothing other than making me angrier and angrier. So that ***the left hates*** falls on deaf ears here.
I think you have it backwards, backwards typist!
The right-wing Republicans do most of the bashing on this board. Not only do they bash Obama and anyone who supports him, they are also the ones who have posted the most despicable racial slurs and lies. Maybe you should try going forwards instead of backwards!
You really gotta laugh when the left gets all bent about a bottle of Viagra. sm
Whether it was his or not. It's just too funny.
and besides you got it backwards
Wilson wrote that piece because the White House was trying to smear him because he wouldn't go along with their pretenses and lies....and when you go against the White House you are bound to lose. Scooter turned out to be the fall guy for this.
So anyway, no use trying to have a "lively debate" when your basic facts are radically different from most liberal's facts.
BY the way, I would suggest for your own mental health that you get out in the world more. You appear to LIVE on this board and spend the better portion of your waking hours reading posts and slamming the posters and cutting and pasting followed by more cutting and pasting.....it is mind-boggling.
You know what backwards? sm
For months you have been sarcastic and spread false info about Obama. It's time now to stand up and admit, your choice lost. Obama did say even before the election that it would take time and maybe 10 years for the economy to turn around. Did you not hear that? I take umbrage to your snide remarks. Your sour grapes are hard to swallow I'm sure, but try to be a good American and give the HONEST MAN with NO AGENDA like OIL AND CRONYISM, a chance.
wow - didn't look backwards to me - nm
x
BACKWARDS thinking?
Do a little research on McBush before you think he'll do a better job.
It's entirely IRResonsible to elect a 72-year-old bush wannabe with a half-baked right wingnut in the wings as second in line to the still most powerful office in the world.
Like war and paying for REBUILDING SOMEONE ELSE'S COUNTRY instead of your own?
THEN MCBUSH IS YOUR MAN
You've got it backwards!!
.
Thanks, backwards typist
I opened my original post, and saw nothing wrong with it. I'm not sure why it's so hard for some here to just go to wnd.com. Another one to check out is ibd.com (Investors' Business Daily).
Incidentally, McCain isn't conservative enough for me, but I have little choice. Sarah Palin is more my style. Regardless of the outcome, I predict a future ticket with Sarah & Bobby Jindal, in no particular order. Talk about a dream ticket! In a very short time he's done wonders for New Orleans.
Yes, our country has gone backwards..
Any sick jackbutt that wants to do harm and get a gun can and always has. They don't get a license! Those of us who have the right to bear arms are the ones people like Obama want to go after. You don't hear him talking about the crime and violence, but instead those of us who want to keep our guns for our own protection. That's because he knows where most of the violence occurs and why. But you'll never hear him stand on a podium and preach that.
Just because he can have bodyguards WITH GUNS protecting his butt doesn't mean I do.
Just wait, he'll have so many criminals dumped back onto our streets it will be frightening.
This is what communist countries do...they take away any power from their people so government can dictate and run them any way they want and the people have no way to even stand up to wrongdoing, even by their own government, which has played itself over and over in this world.
Now all those O lovers can flame all they want. I really do NOT care!!!
it should be.....backwards thinking
s
Backwards politicians nm
nm
you have it all BACKWARDS, move on!
We all know that politics is a 'dirty' business. You said it yourself.
Why do you attack Obama and not McCain. They all have skeleton in the closet, some more, some less.
Actually, we all do, don't you?
not Backwards Typist--the one above
nm
What is that BACKWARDS VOTER?
hahaha
you've got it backwards
your family may face hardships with the bailout but they are nothing compared to what will happen without saving this industry. The failure of the automotive industry will be the final straw in the total destruction of the American economy. 3.5 million being temporarily jobless, as you state, is only the tip of the iceberg. To begin with, those 3.5 million are, for the most part, not the ones responsible. they are simply working people just like you and I who also want to be able to care for their families. Put yourself in their shoes too. Secondly, and more importantly, the domino effect of this would cause millions of others to lose their jobs and benefits. Just think what happens then. Government programs will be caring for all of those people, and all of that will be coming out of YOUR pocket. That's millions of people collecting unemployment and God knows how many other businesses forced to close. And that "temporarily unemployed" statement. Where do you expect these millions of people are going to go to find work? There will be nothing temporary about it. Now factor in the crime that will result from people not being able to affording housing and food and other basic necessities for their families. Add to that the demoralizing effects of this rampant unemployment on society. You really need to look at the bigger picture.
I'm with both you and Backwards Typist on this.....sm
There's only supposed to be one president at a time, but we've had two since the first week of November.
Obama shows contempt and disrespect for the current administration and president, every time he holds a press conference or releases press regarding everything that's wrong in America and how he's going to fix it all.
Of course, he's already warned us that it's going to get worse, so he'll be able to keep blaming Bush for the next four years.
Thanks Backwards typist
It's hard to describe the feelings I have. Of course everyone wants him to do well because that would mean it would be good for our country, but DH and I have said over and over they are putting him on a pedistal (sp?), some people are coming out actually equating him with Jesus and what if he happens to do something wrong, what if he fails. Since he has not taken the office yet you can't say he won't or will fail.
It's just a very very scary time now and I for one will not be sleeping without worry. What I know is that he has promised everyone everything and now they are coming to collect. So when our "so-called" enemy countries come back with you better do what I want or else, he's going to have to do what they want. Just horribly horribly unsettling.
I want issues. Like you I come to this board to hear issues. I used to love the links people provided, but now there are some posters who just keep coming on attacking. Hopefully in a week things will settle down and we can get to business. But for now I don't see that happening.
So people who read this...issues, issues, issues. Articles (and please not the "he's like us cos he eats chile dogs and cheese fries" articles). What are his plans, what is he putting in places, what is Pelosi arguing with him about, how's it going to affect us, when is he going to give us that welfare money he promised in his campaign, when is he going to tax the companies who take jobs overseas, why has he now decided not to tax the rich like he promised during the campaign. These are the issues I want to hear. Not about people chanting his name with glee.
No, you have it backwards. McCain was harping on how...sm
much experience he had and how little Obama had. When he picked Palin and said her experience was sufficient to be president is when all the republicans, and "independents" starting comparing Obama to Palin as far as what the perceive experience to be.
I saw the picture, Kaydie...the B is backwards!
The police have serious doubts about her story, as well. You are very gullible!
I have to confess to backwards typist
they are usually flimsy opinions with no fact, looking for arguments so u are right, i do nont read them.... also what I posted was for dems only so why did u read it? looking for trouble i guess huh?
Well, please, next time, if you aren't a dem and I say dems only, just skip it and we will both be happier.
Thank you.

Hiya Backwards Typist...how are you? sm
I agree with a lot of what you have posted in this thread.
Unfortunately, I really think the Obama administration will not let anyone sink...they will throw a lifeline called socialistm....we will all be owned by the government, and be paying for it for decades to come. Bush opened the door a crack, and Obama is going to prop it open, and take full advantage of the American people.
Most of them won't know what has hit them, until it's too late.
That's 'cause you've got it on backwards. NM
The shapeless part goes in the front...or maybe it's the back. Scrooge it, I guess it doesn't really matter. You ain't going nowhere anyway without yo' man!
Amen! Backwards, could not agree more.nm
nm
by the way, backwards typist - I like hearing your viewpoint -
I am not bashing anybody - I respond sometimes to comments with my own opinions, but I respect that you have the right to yours also.
I never call anyone a liar on this board - but if I see something I think is incorrect, I will try to correct the information if I can...
Also, I agree with the issues needing to be discussed and not bashing - for example, I asked who would vote for SP in 2012 and it turned into "she's better than him" or "he did this" below. I truly wanted to know who would vote for her in the primaries.
But, I don't think it is just the dems tearing down the pubs - I am standing on the fence (neutral to party sides) and I see it going both ways...
I'm with backwards typist, Kaydie, and la difference..nm
nm
Totally agree with you Backwards typist
Sorry haven't been on in awhile and just saw this message. I totally agree with you. The only thing that's going to happen by taking our guns away is that we will not be able to defend ourself. The criminals will still have their weapons.
I am thankful for the NRA - was so sad when Charlton Heston got sick, but I'm glad they are there protecting our rights.
Thanks Backwards Typist - aint that the truth
Brother, talk about trying have a serious discussion. Anytime someone says something negative about what's going on currently they have to say Bush this or Bush that, when the conversation wasn't even about Bush to begin with. It's like what I heard earlier by a democrat on TV. He said if you make fun of Bush it's okay, if you make fun of Obama its not. If you make fun of Palin it's okay if you make fun of Helen Thomas or some other democrat it's not. This is getting very one-sided and it's sad to see what is happening to the country.
I still stand by my original message though that I'm sick and tired of seeing all these specials about the life and times of Obama treating him as though he founded a whole new country, when we've been around for over 200 years and have done very well before he came along.
Thanks for the support BT - knew I could you on you for some clear thinking and sanity. I ended up having to just shut it down today and it was quite frustrating having to repeat the same thing over and over, gave me a headache.
Ignore the negativity truck, there, backwards typist.

Gotta give Backwards Typist credit...
for picking an appropriate name for herself.
backwards as usual, it's because BUSH DVETOED REGULATION sm
My goodness, do you not have any of the facts? I'm finished with you.
Sounds like a great idea, Backwards Typist
But gently, gently...don't want to accidentally hurt her.
(LOL...I get the idea that she'd be kickin' OUR butts instead!!!) 
backwards, you didn't read the post, just the headline PAY ATTENTION
loser
You have that completely backwards, it was President Clinton's administration that had a balance
for the firs time in modern history; not only that, there was a government surplus. George came, and I think you can following the bouncing ball here....trillions of dollars in deficit left behind...talk about rewriting history!!!! I wish people would stop making ludicrous statements without one work to back it up............
This post really makes me WANT to vote for Obama. I am undecided, but this pushes me closer to Obama
...Thanks for the info!
Obama was cool, while grouchy man steamed. Obama!!!
I'm so happy. The dippy people on here who are haters and racists and mccain lovers must be so po'd today. HAHAHAHAHAHA
If Obama gets elected, then it was meant to be! Go, Obama!
nm
Go Obama/Biden! I don't like it and will VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN!
Obama has shown great judgment in the people who surround him. He picked a great VP choice, and his wife is impeccable as a helpmate and is a fantastic role model for the American children.
Obama
I believe Obama has an awesome political future. He sure is a bright light, and he would be someone I would seriously consider voting for.
Someone I like even better is Rep. Harold Ford from Tennessee. Every time I hear this man speak, I like him more and more and more.
I think there are lots of good candidates out there who don't fit the profiles you outlined, which I also believe to be true, and I think we're well overdue in considering those candidates because, in my opinion, what we've been offered in the last several elections -- on BOTH sides -- has been pretty pitiful. The "box" isn't working, and it's time to look outside of it.
Obama is the man!!!
I think he will make an excellent president some day. Maybe Hillary/Obama would be a good ticket choice.
obama
FYI - he never attended a midrasha. This was later corrected.
Obama 08...nm
Obama et. al.
If we get Obama or any of the other candidates we will get more of the same. War and taxes. Empire building. If you like that kind of stuff, vote for any of the candidates EXCEPT.......... RON PAUL. The only candidate for peace, limited government and minding our own business. 
Obama
As I posted on the other board, it is crazy that in one breath people are freaking out saying he is a Muslim, and in the next one, they are freaking out because of his stand on abortion. Being pro-choice really does not go with being a Muslim.
I like Obama, and I like his stance on choice. I really could care less if he is a Muslim. But, he belongs to a Christian church and has for over 20 years, before he had a political career.
People never cease to amaze me!
Obama
My husband just returned from Iraq, we support the war-- but if I had to vote democrat, definitely Obama, please!! But I vote republican, hee hee.
Go Obama!
What a great victory for Obama!
Did anyone see the Kennedy’s endorsement for Obama and his speech this morning? I have never been more excited and inspired in politics. In my life I’ve voted both sides (usually not voting for a candidate but rather voting for the other side as a vote against a candidate). I usually tune out in politics because of outright lies. Barack is the first candidate that I finally understand what he stands for, what his plans are, and he is someone who can connect with everyone in every walk of life. He is a trustworthy, inspiring, and humble person and his voting record and other aspects of his government life give me the confidence that he would be a great president. Listening to his speeches gives me hope for a better country/future for everyone.
I respect everyone’s choice for who they think would be a better president, but I’m sick to death of Clinton and what she stands for. All you have to do is read up on the history of her and what she did when she resided in Oakland California (who her mentors/ colleagues were and what her motives/plans are). She claims to have all this “experience” but doesn’t have it. She takes what her husband accomplished and if it was something good she claims credit to it and if it was bad she had nothing to do with it. Meanwhile her husband is so consumed/greedy (not sure which word best suits him – maybe consumed with greed) to get back into the white house that he is purposely destroying the opponents (even Ted Kennedy had to call and admonish him), but that is the Clinton legacy, destroying other people’s lives. Then when someone does call him on something he will point his finger at them in a threatening way and plays the victim role. It makes me ill just thinking of having someone as corrupt as both of them back in the white house.
If Bill was such a great president they should bring up all the great things that happened under his presidency, but we are not hearing any of it, why? Because there is none. In my opinion he was one of the worst presidents in history. Not one thing he did was for the good of the country. And if anyone believes that she was such a “good wife” while he was out messing around with other women think again. She had her mind set on being president a long time ago. She just uses him to get what she wants. Everything she does has always been calculated.
As for his presidency, I think people are forgetting….he lied under oath and he was impeached for it. Which brings me to another question…why does anyone believe anything he has to say now? Remember the phrase “that all depends on what the meaning of is, is”. Then there was Waco Texas – people were burned alive. But they called them members of a cult, so I guess that made it okay. Then let’s see…Somalia, Bosnia, Monica (and no it wasn’t just about having an affair with her or all the other women), receiving illegal contributions, Vince Foster, and the list goes on and on and on.
An article I just read said it better than I can….
“The problem for Hillary Clinton is that, as usual, she wants it both ways. She wants to be judged on her own merits and not be treated as Bill's Mini-Me. But she also wants to reap the benefits of Bill's popularity, and offers voters the reassuring suggestion that if there's a crisis while she's in the White House, there will be someone around who really does have executive branch experience - namely, Bill - to lend a hand. But the Clintons are playing a dangerous game. The more they remind us of what we liked about Act I of the Bill and Hillary Show, the more they also remind us of what we hated.

Obama
He would be better than the one that has been there for 8 years. No matter who is elected, it will take a long time to fix what Bush as screwed up!
<3 Obama too!!
:)
Obama
If she keeps lying from today until November she might actually catch up with Obama!
Go Obama
Haven't seen any posts here for awhile. Very excited about the outcome of tonight's election. I am so glad to see that people are not buying the "gimmicks" Hillary proposed. Gas tax holiday?...give me a break! Someone needed to ask her, "So what happens when the holiday is over", you charge back up the gas price!
The big joke is that Bill Clinton raised the gas tax in his first year in office. It was included in a package of tax increases that amounted to the biggest tax increase in history. It was raised by 4.3 cents. Not only did he raise the gas tax, but he wanted to raise it even higher.
So you should all get this straight...Hillary is "claiming" she would give drivers 3 whole months (wow - imagine that) 18 cent a gallon cut after her husband forced drivers to pay an extra 5 cents for 15 years.
Unfortunately there were some people who bought into her pandering (which by the way is another word for lying), but thank goodness enough people with an education and most important most of the with common sense could see right through her lies.
Way to go North Carolina - I'm so pleased. And Indiana too. It was a close race thank goodness.
Now she needs to step down. Why? Because its the right thing to do. Do the numbers. There is no way she can win and anyone who believes so needs to wake up. What we need is for her to support Barack Obama (that is if she's telling the truth about the most important thing is nominating a democrat for president). Somehow though I do not believe she has the best interest of the party or the american people in mind. Her goal is to serve herself. She needs to graciously bow out and put all her efforts into getting a democrat in the office.
P.S. - Note to the "ditto heads". Maybe we should rename Limbaugh followers "dumbo heads". Not only did your little plan fail Mr. Limbo, but it failed badly. In a poll taken (and yes I know polls can be misleading), but not only did the republicans change parties to vote for a democrat but the majority of them voted for Obama. Then on top of that over 75% of republicans that voted as democrats said that Obama could be McCain (or as I am hearing him being referred to as McBush), but only around 25% said they believed Hillary could win. So not only does Hillary need to do the math, so does Mr. Limbo.
