In Reply to: I have to face reality at some point and realize - Obama could be our next President
If you look throughout history, many people thought that their century would have been the end of the world. What do I think? As a believer, I truly do believe that there are signs out there that do lead toward Christ's return. Please no flaming me as this is my personal opinion.
As to when this might happen....no one knows. As a believer in God, it is written that no one knows.....not even the angels in Heaven know. Is the end getting closer.....yes....I think it is. Will it happen in my lifetime? I don't know.
As to your thoughts about McCain and Obama. I really do not think that either of them have the appropriate plan for our country and I really do feel sorry for the next president because he will have A LOT on his table. However, I truly feel that Obama's plan will hurt our economy more than help it. I believe that our country is in a recession and the blames goes to government....PERIOD. I'm not even going into the dems vs pubs. They are all to blame. They all had their greedy little hands in on this. After being screwed over by the government, do I want them to have more control over things? HECK NO! Government spending has gotten WAY out of hand and, IMO, that is the key to this whole crisis. Cut government spending. You can't raise taxes during a recession. It will weaken the economy and head us straight for a depression.
An interesting thing I heard on TV last night. China noticed their economy take a little dip, nothing like ours, and guess what they are doing......they are lowering taxes. Not raising them.
The people that say 95% won't be taxed....I'm sorry but even putting the whole welfare allegations aside....it isn't possible. There aren't enough rich people to take from to come up with the money Obama wants to spend. He will have to increase taxes on the rest of us as well and that includes the middle class that he professes to be looking after.
Increasing taxes on companies will result in a higher job loss than a job creation. People say that the companies make enough and can absorb that.....you obviously don't run a business and let me tell you....my husband does and he is sweating this BIG time. It ain't pretty ladies and gentlemen. The companies who can afford to "absorb" this tax increase will pass it along to us by jacking up the prices of their products. So who pays for that increase....WE DO PEOPLE!
I don't have anything personal against Obama. I will admit that his judgment in associations are a bit concerning, but putting that all aside.....Obama's plans for this country will fail. Is it change? Yes it is.....but it will be a change for the worse.

This is always how she ends up when
backs, MT. She is a lost cause.
Never ends with this one
There you go again! The point is - what difference does it make what side you are on? So are you saying that anyone who wants us to get along is a Republican? I never said what I am, in fact, I clearly stated I wasn't sure. So are you daring me to pick a side? Or are you just going to choose one for me? You are just down right nuts. Sorry I'm not as angry as you. I'm a positive person that wants to see positive change. According to you, anyone who wants that should just be cast into the pit of fire with a big R on their head. Because I don't want to comment on some articles, I'm a Republican? Really? I had no idea the critera for being a Democrat was to comment on certain threads. Who knew?  I'm a American, get over it.
lol....you act like Alaska is at the ends of the earth....
and they are "poor Alaskans." I think they have all incomes levels. Hey...a few thousand dollars is a lot of money to ME. lol.
Anyway...the amount of land drilled on in Alaska is extremely small in contrast to the size of the state. Proposed drilling in ANWR encompasses about 2000 acres at the most far north part of Alaska. ANWR in total is 19 MILLION acres.
Joke's on you, if someone you love ends up
dead in some back room or dingy apartment with a coat-hanger up her u-no-wat.
What would you like to see women lose next, their right to vote? Maybe their right to drive? Or to chose whom they marry? Hey, how about bringing female circumcision to the U.S.? Or maybe burkas and veils?
Ends justifies the means does not hold up
Not defending the trooper one way or the other since we kangaroo courts held in the media or in chat room forums are of not legal or official signficance. Prefer to wait for the ethics committee investigations to finish doing it's thing and review its findings before excusing SP for what appears to be abuse of power....an ethics violation by the ethics queen of Alaska.
Don't close Guantanamo until terror war ends
We DO NOT want to give terrorists the same rights as American citizens......
Excerpt from this article:
"Once you go out and capture a bunch of terrorists, as we did in Afghanistan and elsewhere, then you've got to have some place to put them," he said. "If you bring them here to the U.S. and put them in our local court system, then they are entitled to all kinds of rights that we extend only to American citizens. Remember, these are unlawful combatants.

Well I work two jobs to make ends meet
and I will be very happy to get another stimulus check. I might take part of the check and go to Chili's, so I guess there is such a thing as a "free lunch" occasionally. So "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" as my grandmother used to say.
The Sky is Falling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL
The sky is falling, the sky is falling!
The collapse of the economy has been coming for longer than 2 years, it is just convenient to blame it all on the republicans.
Also, last I checked, we live in a Republic (lots of folks think we live in a democracy, but we do not) and one person isn't going to change our entire government, although it really does need some major changing.
Go out and talk to "Joe sixpack", the lower middle-class, the poor, etc. A socialist country doesn't seem like such a bad thing to them right now. At least they would have healthcare, lol!
The closer we get to the election, the more scare tactics we see. Relax, its just an acorn, lol.
THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING
OMG. How did you deduce that from what he said? So you think medical transcriptionists are UNSKILLED? Not only do you insult an intelligent method of handling the companies that ship our work overseas, but you also insult yourself and everyone else on this board. MT is NOT unskilled labor.
THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING...
Why don't you give the guy a chance before you start deciding if things could get worse or better? He has already stated that the mess is so huge that he inherited, it isn't going to be an overnight solution.
Why do you feel free to judge his entire presidency based on 60+ days so far?...days of putting out MAJOR fires left by the last administration, I might add. Why don't you wait until Obama actually can get to his own agenda before you decide that things are going to be worse under him.
Typical right wing over reactionism and drama queenism!

This kind of right wing over reactionism and drama queenism really undermines any valid points you might make.

The sky is falling, the sky is falling
I am amazed how many rightwingers are scared out of their pants. Why not find some other country to hide in? Your posting is laughable.

Falling all over the place.
What is happening with those repubs?
Was one of the songs free falling? If so...

Maybe they're falling because Coke is better.

A "fool" would be Americans falling for O

Clinton 65% - Bush 28% and falling!
Bill Clinton left office with a 65% approval rating. George W. Bush has an approval rating of 28% and still falling.
Period! 
You forgot Paulsen the-sky-is-falling

I don’t fall into the sky is falling category

Falling for O's promises, just like Jimmy Carter
