scares me too
It is statements like below along with his blatant disregard for International Law and lack of respect for legally elected officials in soverign countries that scares the heck out of me. Throughout history, there have always been naysayers, people with blinders on who dont realize what is really going down until it is too late and it has affected them also, ergo, this statement:
*First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.*
"You don't get everything you want. A dictatorship would be a lot easier." Describing what it's like to be governor of Texas.
(Governing Magazine 7/98)
-- From Paul Begala's "Is Our Children Learning?"
"I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree with each other, but that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator," Bush joked.
-- CNN.com, December 18, 2000
"A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it, " [Bush] said.

You know what scares me....
A man who wants to: 1) Turn us into a socialist society. 2) Who thinks when a baby comes out alive in a botched abortion, you can still get rid of it!!! 3) Who is "friends" with people who hate our country and what it stands for. Just these few things I mentioned ought to scare you death!!! Palin in no way, shape or form even compares to this.
What scares you?
His color or his name?
This is what scares me
His name does not draw the Muslim card, his background and history does. His being a past Muslim does. His trying to hide it does. His trying to hide the fact that our taxes are going to go up scares me. I'm always the first to argue with someone he's half white. A lot of people forget that. So forget the race thing. What scares me is how far he's trying to distance himself from his past. What scares me is he isn't being truthful (although that shouldn't scare me because the last presidential candidate that was truthful was Ronald Regan - everyone after that went downhill). What scares me is the democrats are panicking so bad they are grasping at straws and attacking for no good reason. They are saying she was for the bridge when they were for the bridge. They are saying she is not experienced when he is not experienced. They are acusing her of being everything that he is. Their words are a reflection of themselves. What I fear is having a democratic president and congress. I'm afraid my taxes will double if not more with another democratic president like the last time they did with Clinton. I'm afraid our rights are going to be dwindled away as citizens as the democrats slowly turn our country into a socialist state. I am scared our health care system will be turned into a socialist health care system and I won't have the freedom to go to whatever doctor I choose. I'm afraid that he's going to give Hillary a job doing something. I'm afraid that the 2nd ammendment will be taken away from us as we are all just lowly americans who cling to guns.
So - that is what I'm afraid of with him. Too many men have promised us this and that and never delivered. Bush and Clinton being the biggest two. I don't trust any of them.
this is what scares me
Ronald Reagan - "the most truthful President"? What in tarhooties have you been smoking?? Remember Iran-Contra and his buddy Ollie North (who was never brought to trial for his misdeeds)...Reagan one step away from being Richard Nixon? PUHLEEZE!!
what scares me the most
is that if this man could actually be voted into the office. Do people not know or do they not want to know or do they not understand we are talking socialism, then communism here? What is wrong with people? What scares me is how do we get this information out to the public? I am not finding alot of this stuff anywhere other than on this board so I know that means other people are not seeing it either. I tell this stuff to my husband, relatives and friends, and they do not know anything about it. All they know is what they see and hear on TV and radio, and wow, am I sick of the biased media. And I don't want to have to go down that road because other people didn't do the work of checking out the candidates fully.
I'm not a pub and he scares the h@ll out of me

That mob mentality............ sm
I don't think it was a single person responsible for this. Apparently, there was a whole mob of shoppers outside who broke the door off its hinges trying to get into the store and not one single person stopped to help him. There were other Walmart workers injured just trying to get to him to help him. I just can't imagine what these people were thinking....that that man's life was worth the 40 bucks they saved on an ipod or something.
You know what scares me?
Is that there were enough people in Minnesota that actually voted for Franken that there had to be a recount! I mean, I'm not a Dem-basher, but AL Franken? Seriously?
scares me...
and that Chavez is calling him "comrade Obama."
More entitlement mentality
Why should we have to evacuate people who went there on their own free will? Lebanon is not Hawaii. It's one of the most unstable countries in the world. This is definitely one risk they should have planned ahead for, but no, they fully expected that when all heck broke loose that the U.S should be on their doorstep immediately to evacuate them. They are complaining that they were asked to pay $200 to be evacuated!!! They paid their way in, so why not pay their way out? When a cruise ship comes to pick them up for their 3 to 4 hour ride to Crete they can only complain that they waited to long, it was hot, there were flies, and that the menu for the 3-4 hour ride was not up to their standards. Oh, they are lounging on the deck in bathing suits, but they are suffering so baaaad, and it's their government's fault. Ingrates.
To address what you said about Bush's articulation challenge I will say this. Talk is cheap no matter how articulate or inarticulate you are. Actions speak louder than words. You can be eloquent all day long, but if you never put any action behind what you say your pretty words are best left un-uttered.
Obama scares me so much more
In watching him speak, I never feel secure, as if he is really just for show and no real substance. Also, to say all the things some of you say about McCain. Well, what about the people Obama has as friends in present and past? Do HIS associations and his character not matter to you? What about his comments regarding religion/guns. What about his "been to 57 states" comment? All I hear from him policy-wise is he would raise taxes (and not just on the rich!) and "provide" health insurance for every American. (we all know nothing is free in reality). Besides, no president can take total care of us and our individual needs. Our president MUST protect the country first and foremost, right? ..and as much as I am not a McCain fan, I would trust him far and above Obama on that issue.
What is bootstrap mentality? nm

That is one of the things that scares them most...
if they are elected it is validation that the majority of Americans still believe in God and don't mind it if someone says so. Obama professes to be a Christian and I don't see them dissecting him. Perhaps because they believe that is just another lie...?
Delusional mob mentality? sm
Seems the only example of that is with the liberals who cry foul when presented with the FACTS surrounding anything Obama. Do you realize how ignorant that makes you look to everyone except the other liberals? What's even more stupid is that you people ignored all the warning signs and elected him as POTUS anyway. Talk about insanity!!!!
Consider the mentality of those who put him in office

what is the deal with the mob mentality...
is this gang up on old men day? And I say this with the utmost respect because I, for one, really like old men! Do you people have so little to say to actually bolster you stance on issues that all you can do to feel better is pick on one particular poster? Well, here you go--pick on me, too, if it will make you feel better about yourselves. I can, as I am sure TechSupport can, take it.
that mentality only works if..
we actually are all in this together. it doesn't work too well if half of us are working and half of us are not. Right now in the US it is the working people supporting the ones who don't. don't get me wrong, I am totally in favor of helping anyone who can't but not one bit if favor of supporting those who won't. Nope, I am not in it together with those who won't.
neocons mentality..*frightening*
and we will leave you with your guns, delusions that Bush is doing the country and Americans good, your war, murder mentality and guarantee..at the rate this country is going, we will still be fighting terrorists 50 years from now and it is your man Bush we all can thank.terrorism is an ideology, it can never be eliminated, however, the person we should have eliminated is still free and Bush never even mentions him any more. Give me love beads over war, war, war, war, kill, kill, kill, hate, hate, hate any day. So sick of Bush and his idiotic mentality as most of the country is. Cant wait till next election..Bush can go on down to Crawford and play with the cows in the manure where he cant hurt any one.
Answer the question - what scares you?
If it is not his name (which always draws the MUSLIM card) - then it must be his race (he is half white, by the way). If not - ENLIGHTEN me, I am truly curious.
no, YOUR attitude is what scares sensible people.

Sheep with flock mentality.

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

O scares the heck out of me. Not because of race
nm
This mentality got Obama into office....
^^
No. Your mentality got Obama into office.
People like you make me sick. You rant and rave but do nothing. All you do is create tempests in teapots and look where we are now? Superpower? Not any more. Why do you try to do something to make things better instead of complaining all the time. You remind me of my mother-in-law. Sad, very sad.
Completely juvenile. This is the mentality on here now though...
:-(
Ron Paul scares the living daylights out of me. He is

well dubya speaks like a child and he scares the
is what counts and clearly Dubya is lacking in that department and Obama is not.
What, a strong, conservative woman scares you?

Feel just the opposite. O scares the crap out of me.nm

Delusional mob mentality cannot change facts.
how ignorant you make yourself look by subscribing to this nonsense? What's even more stupid is the fact that people are so full of hate for Obama that they are actually willing to go for broke having judges tell them the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. Insane.
You gotta understand mentality of people

I've been asked "What is bootstrap mentality?"
I would appreciate it if the answers to this question from all perspectives be expressed in a respectful, bash-free manner.
Bootstrap mentality post betting buried in the mud.

Mob mentality and mass hysteria of Biblical proportions.
for a change. Tell us what we need to hear. McCain's economic plan and "shared party philosophy" is different from Bush how?
For those whose brains can only handle sound byte mentality
For the rest of us, we need a little substance and certainly cannot take wild accusations with no verifiable or credible source in sight and pointless juvenile name calling too seriously on any level whatsoever.
If his tax plan scares you, check out his Global Poverty Act. Link inside.
