Obama nomination inspires young and old???????

Who started this tread?? Must be a Liberal from Media Matters or George Sores.

I'm very inspired, especially when Americans vote in November and Mccain wins by a landslide because the empty sute Oboma and company is being exposed and that's why he's 3 points down in the polls. Imagine THAT... A Presidential candidate and during HIS own convention he loses points in the polls.

Yes. you will see the rock star tonight and all those brainwashed Liberals and the media CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC all getting down on thier knees as they bow to the Oboma. But that's OK.. Why?

Simple answer, because Oboma has awakened the giant in America which are Americans with common sense to see that he is a fake and will vote for Mccain.

Hi,
First of all, how can you call HIM a clown after almost 8 years of Mr. Smiley? After 8 years of Halburton and other contractors......why not give the new person on the block an opportunity to not depend on special interest groups....to try something different. It is refreshing to hear a candidate have a platform that is not dedicated to war mongering....there alone is one good reason to vote for Mr. Obama. Mr. Obama's view that diplomacy should be visited.....NOT just go in and "route 'em out" with bombs. I like the fact that Mr. Obama will NOT be approximately 80-years old if he should be in office for 2 terms. He and his wife are both highly intelligent....and this will be a breath of fresh air. Having a Commander in Chief and a First Lady who are both highly intelligent will be a breath of fresh air. It is about time for this to happen....and for years we've seen all of these other faces repeatedly in politics. Given the horrible state of the economy, the loss of jobs and lack of a good health care system, many do not want to risk another Republican in office. We are running out of time. That's why Mr. Obama needs to be our next President of the United States. Period.

Do you know what his platform is? If you do could you please explain it to me? I have heard him speak, but for the life of me I can't figure out what his plan is for our country. All I've been hearing is change. What is he going to change exactly? Thanks

Hi Hmmm,
Yes, Mr. Obama does believe that the opportunity for change still exists. There is a website discussing many issues in which Mr. Obama believes that change is needed. You may wish to check out the following: www.barackobama.com/issues
You'll then seen a website:
Barack Obama/Change We Can Believe In/Issues
Choose this website and you will see many of the issues he wants to change....and he addresses each issue and there is opportunity to read further regarding each issue to learn what he would like to do pertaining to each issue.

rozShoem,

You are out of touch with facts. You are a typical blogger that ONLY has Liberal Oboma talking points.

You talk about "Halliburton and other contractors" as if these great AMERICAN companies are the enemy and bad for society. Let me remind you that there are ZERO other companies that can do what Halburton does. Did you know that? Be thankful for AMERICAN companies that Americans invest in all the time. If you and the rest of the Liberals hate them so much, then start your own company and make a go at it. But until then, stop and think.

You Liberal Democrats always complain about the Oil companies and thier profits, YET you cant live without the product that they deliver for your use. You and the rest of those Liberals should say a prayer every day that in America we have oil companies that supply us with the product that YOU use every day. The very chair you sit on requires oil. The very keyboard you type on requires oil, everything needs oil yet you Liberals always chastise the oil companies.

I tell you, if I owned an oil company and had to put up with that crap, I would move and tell you all to find your own oil. What if they decided to do that? What would you liberals do then?

Your other point about Oboma is GREAT and exactly what people out there need to hear. He is a coward just like the rest of the Democrat Liberals. Your OBOMA would if elected do the following.

Ring, Ring... it's 3am and Iran has just launched missiles at America.

Oboma.. Ahh, ohh, huumm, ahhhhhhhh, ah, ahhhhhhhhh, ohhhh, wellll, sayyyy, The person interrupts Oboma and asks with urgency, Mr. President, what do you want us to do? We still have time for a counter attack to shoot them down.

Oboma.. Ahhh, ohh, hummm, ah, ah, ah, ah, Hold on there I need to first get the consent of the American people and the United Nations.

But Mr. President, the missiles are launched and on the way, we MUST counter immediately. OBOMA.. Ah, ohhh, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hh, welllllll, I just cant attack back, what do they want from us? Find out what the Iran President wants.

Listen, this isn't voting for a local congressmen or women, this is no place to play scrabble and learn the ropes. THIS is why Senators and congressmen shouldn't be allowed to run for President. No experience in running anything, not even a Hot dog stand.

Choose wisely.

Hi,
My guess is that you are a died in the wool Republican.... you want one of the good old boys once more in charge.... As for gas prices....I actually like the idea that they were increased. It has resulted in more parents spending more time at home with their children. There are fewer vehicles on the highway...a big plus....and I've noticed some of the larger SUVs and pickup trucks have slowed down to increase fuel efficiency. Yes, the "contractors" love the war mongering because they thrive on big bank accounts filled with blood money. I'm not for giving some countries weapons and money to bomb other countries who are not our allies. Please.....you are one of those males...you have to be.....men would not needlessly murder women and children so you would have that extra fuel for your fat cat SUV.... Another 8 years of your kind would be beyond disgusting. It would be a travesty. There is more to life than killing and then reframing it to appear the hero. Grow up and think about humanity and not your bank accounts.

Yeah....and your "guy" that you'd choose to be at the helm would more than likely would be pressing the button to launch a missile on some enemy country, "routin''em out" as it were. Does that phrase sound familiar to you? Not even waiting for Congressional approval! Why not just "purchase" the oil instead of stealing it from other countries? Wouldn't that make MORE sense? Wouldn't that be more humane? We are known as the bully country around the world....and it is easy to see why. Bomb, mame, kill, murder, steal......no wonder we are so loved....and just look at our schools, colleges.....teens blowing away their classmates! Wherever did they learn THAT kind of violence? Children learn what they live.... A few days ago I looked at a website reading about all of the countries in which it is unsafe for Americans to travel. What does THAT tell you? What makes people want to kill Americans? What's that about? It is certainly not because we have been kind to them! It is time for us to have a human being in office. Yes....but you know what? I don't think it's going to happen, unfortunately. I think instead that we will still have the status quo (your party) running the country...and in about 20 years or less America will be well on its way to BEING a third world country. The war machine of mama China. You need to do a bit of reading....and put your knowledge where your missiles are. Adios

I agree with you on only one of your points.....people who are not qualified should not run for office. File clerks have to take an exam to work as a file clerk for county, state or federal government. Yet the leader of our country does not have to take a civil service exam to be Commander in Chief. Whoever entices the media and has the most $$$$ wins.....whoever has the most $5,000 per plate "dinners" wins! What should THAT tell you? Do a bit of thinking. After the last 8 years ...this should tell you about the level of intelligence that is needed!!!!!!!!!! Please.

I know all about Humanity. I fight for the freedom of others and for your freedom to voice your opinion. It's just a shame that you don't appreciate what we do.

You have a right to be Anti War and I have a right to fight for freedom as my Country and commander in Chief asks us to. We are not cowards like most Liberal Democrats. We even have Liberal DEmocrats that fight side by side but are disgusted by Liberal Democrats home.

So now just like the typical Anti American Liberal you are you are just like Kerry, Martha, Reid, Oboma, and the gang calling America's Soldiers Murders!!

If you dont like America then how come your still here??? Why if it's so bad and we are killing Woman and children do you choose to even vote? Why not move to Iran or Russia or China or Venezuela or Sirrah as they are model Nations that can do no harm. In YOUR world America's are murders.

Also, you are typical Liberal Anti American who says that we went to war to steel the oil. Get real. You probably think 911 was an inside job also.

In closing, you talk about another 8 years would be disgusting right?

Why dont you take us down memory lane with those 8 years of Clinton and the gang.

Under Clinton over 750 thousand were murdered including 3 thousand Americans.

Under Clinton, if he had took Osoma Bin Laden like the Saudis offered TWO TIMES, 911 wouldn't have happened.

Under Clinton, let me remind you that HE and his 8 years... HE is ONLY the second American President to be Impeached. Remember THAT. Oh, I forgot, you wouldn't have know that by watching all the 75 thousand Braindead's on TV going crazy over Mr. Clinton's speech. So, the mentality of Liberals was lode and clear. Liberals LOVE the Anti American politicians like Clinton and Obama don't they?

If they were as disgusted as the rest of the Americans were at Clinton, then perhaps we could move forward.

Vote and choose wisely.

You again show how ignorant and Liberal you are.

So, in YOUR Liberal world you would seek Congressional approval to thwart off an attack on America.

Here's a little information on something very important. The sole Duty of the President of the United States of America is to DEFEND this Nation at ANY and ALL costs.

American Presidents DO NOT need to consult with politicians for approval. In YOUR Liberal world, we would not ber here today if Presidents seeks approval first. Did Clinton seek approval when he attacked????? Did he attack a nation just to get the pressure off of his Monica issue?

I can say this. If Oboma gets elected, you can 100% guarantee that we will be attacked AGAIN.

You and the rest of the Liberals should thank G.W. Bush as we haven't been attacked again. You should thank Bush for all his programs that thwart terrorist attacks against us. But, you and the rest dont care because your comfortable with just attacking America and Bush for your own benifit.

So, choose wisely.

One last thing about your Oboma.

I bet you dont notice that when he talks or gives speeches that he NEVER talks about what HE would do. He never talks about HIS plan.

He ALWAYS talks about the other guys plan and what the other guys does or did.

So, do you want an empty suit that can tell us what we already know? Or do you want someone that tells you what needs to be done to make things better.

Mccain tells it like it is.

Oboma, only says Change, Change, Change but his changes are absent and whenever he does talk about policy, all that comes from his mouth is RAISE TAXES, TAXES, TAXES, TAXES and MORE TAXES.

SO, if you like paying TAXES, vote for your guy.

Choose wisely.

Look ...you know and I know that Mr. B was not under any time pressure.....to get Congressional approval....and another thing....Democrats as well as Republicans have served in our armed forces....and don't you worry about Obama being elected. Your guy will be "appointed" as was the case the last time around. I admire your bravery and serving what you believe is a cause....but unfortunately you are one of many who are fodder for the war machine, unfortunately. Defense of our country when it is necessary is great....but when human beings are sent to war when it is not necessary...and when so many lives are needlessly lost...this is a tragedy. You take care and don't worry....your guy is going to "win"......but we are going to lose in a big way...with loss of many more lives in what he has referenced as 100 years of war.

So, with that being said. Why are you supporting Oboma who has suckered millions and millions from people for his campaign? If you believe that $$$ should be out of politics, then do something about it.

Oboma is supported by George Sores who has bought the nomination for Oboma.

I agree with you on the money part. But look at this, Oboma and Clinton spent millions of millions on advertisements and TV and print and billboards. Is that buying the election? Does the candidate with the most money win?

THAT needs to change I agree.

Thanks. So, who decides what's necessary? Are you going to wait for politicians to decide for us?

As a side bar... Don't you remember who the President was who gave Nuclear technology to North Korea was? To China? here's a clue... It was Mr. Bill who gave it away remember? Remember that lap top computer Mr. Bill gave away? Remember the U.S.S. Cole that was attacked killing American Soldiers? Remember Mr. Bill who did NOTHING to respond to that attack on America!!!

Again, if Mr. Bill responded instead of dunking his cigar things could have been different. Ask Osama Bin Laden himself! His own words on National TV was that. "when we attacked the U.S.S.Cole and the Twin Towers, America did not respond. I seen that as a sign of weakness in America. So, he attacked and thank GOD we had and have an American President who took action and kicked ass.

Under Mr. Bill, or Oboma, we have cowards. What's your pleasure on that choice. Defend or run.

Just look at Iraq. Has ANY Democrat besides Joe Lieberman said anything good about it?

Have you heard ANYTHING good about the surge and the good things that has happened out of it?

If People listen daily by the biased media you would think that the world was flat.

Daily, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, the NY Times, etc reported NOTHING good at all about us. You would think that it is the end of the world.

Now, TODAY... Oboma, Biden and company STILL dont acknowledge that Bush taking the advice from his Generals and the surge was CORRECT!!!!! The surge WORKED!!!! Mccain VOTED for the Surge!!!!! McCain was RIGHT!!!!
Oboba was AGAINST the surge!!! Oboma was WRONG!!!!! Biden voted for the War!!! Biden was right!!!! Biden voted AGAINST the Surge!!!! Biden was WRONG!!!!

Nancy Pelosi, Martha, Kerry, Reid, Schumer, Clinton were ALL wrong weren't they?????? THEY ALL voted AGAINST the surge didn't they??????

So, judgement and experience DOES make a difference doesn't it!!!

Regardless why we do what we do, it's ok as a citizen to disagree, but people need to really think.. and think hard.. after the rock star novelty wears off what is left?

Can America afford that chance?

Lastly...Mr. George Sores is my hero.... A true self-made man (note I'm using the word "man" as opposed to male...there is a difference). Unfortunately, there are very few men....most just all males, there is a difference you know. Anyway, I'm hoping that you do not believe all that you hear via the media. LOL. Maybe you do believe all that you hear via the media. You believe the "hero" myth....right? You know, Clark Kent, Superman, etc.... Like I said, we do need people willing to serve the country....but only when it is truly needed. The older males entice the younger men into war....what do they care....afterall....they do not have as long a lifetime ahead of them. So they whisk the poor young heroes off to their possible death. The older men....somewhat like sturgeons who devour their young. Sad, but it's realty you know. It seems so unfair. A bunch of older men sitting behind closed doors somewhere deciding who will live, who will die while they sit in those comfortable leather chairs. It's the way life is, however. I see the stickers on the cars...support our troops. I support their lives and hate to see them being used in this way.... Senseless deaths, senseless. Dying to support some career politician whose saying he's sorry for the loss of life somehow seems inadequate. The real terror is here....here in our cities full of violence....stabbings, shootings, rapes, muggings, etc. Our young shooting their classmates. Yes, we should not be attempting to change other cultures. Instead we should focus on changing our culture of violence. Our heroes are needed right here at home.

WOW!!! so your a George Sores lover. God save the Queen!! That's OK, liberals love Sores but Clinton fans hate him because he dumped her.

So, your into socialism and dictatorship right? George bush the nomination. That should scare you, even liberals. What would you say if it were a Republican who bought the nomination?

A word of wisdom.. Remember, what you wish for will come home to roost and you may not like what you see. Sores is a dangerous man who made his $$ of of Americans and now he's Anti American. Yes, he's Anti American.

You said in an earlier post that you dislike those $5k plates and all the $$ didn't you? So, how can you say that and then say you love Sores?

Anyways, your reference to Men and Males is funny.

Listen, I take my orders and NEVER question them. It doesn't matter to me who's sitting in that leather chair barking out the mission. It's been that way since the beginning and will continue. What you should be pissed off at like I and others are is those politicians sticking thier nose into something that they dont have any interest in at all except for their own political power.

When the Liberal Democrats called us murders just to make the Liberal funded left George Sores happy, that is a disgrace and THEY better remember that WE wont forget that. Martha, Kerry, Reid, Pelosi, Oboma, Schumer, and the rest will not be forgotten in calling Soldiers murders. THEY will be ousted.

Good night.
