No title

As a television draw, John McCain was every bit the equal of Barack Obama . The GOP presidential candidate attracted roughly the same number of viewers to his convention acceptance speech Thursday as Obama did ...

Well the U.S.market seems to be fascinated with the 'protestors' more than the RNC....especially when the only thing the 'MCBUSHIANS' were there to continue the 'brainwashing' that 'BEFUDDLED BUSH' began eight years ago. Republicans are so 'predictable' (find a nutty shepherd and follow) bless their lil'cotton socks.

I'm sure a 'MCBUSHIAN' will arrive with a drawn out rebuttal...to which verify to the public that the 'shepherd' has done his job.

I would have thought more people would have wanted to watch the Prophet descend from Mt. Olympus with Reid and Pelosi dressed as cherubim to escort him, and Durbin would be unrolling the red carpet and hail his entry with a trumpet.

Yes, the poor "man-child" who would be king is in a turmoil. The "messiah" and all his minions uncerimoniously upstaged and insulted by a nobody. "The One" can only hope for short memories as he hides behind the skirts of his caregivers, Opra, Michelle and Hil.
Peace out Dems, go home. See you in another four I guess. Good luck.

Michelle Obama quotes

"The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."

"America is just downright mean."
Michelle Obama

"For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country."

"The realities are that, you know, as a black man, you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station, you know."

The Obamas beloved minister and spiritual leader for 20 years Rev Jeremiah Wright quotes.

In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism.

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.

"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his congregation.

Barak Obama quotes

"It's not surprising, then, they get bitter, and they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."

"Over the last 15 months, weve traveled to every corner of the United States. Ive now been in 57 states? I think one left to go."

"People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is our time."

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK. That's not leadership. That's not going to happen."

"We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old - and that's the criterion by which I'll be selecting my judges."

"We worship an awesome God in the Blue States, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the Red States. We coach Little League in the Blue States and have gay friends in the Red States."

"You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt."

Because Biden has no pizzaz, and Michelle Obama and Rev Wright are Anti-American. Who wants to see that.

Plus, Palin is a Milf.

The only reason more people didn't watch is because most african americans have decided to vote for Obama just because he is black. They could care less researching both candidates and listening to what they both have to say. Obama is all for creating more government programs for the poor. My sister works with quite a few black people. It is a Chicago city job. One of her coworkers even told her she didn't think he was experienced but she was voting for him anyway because he is black. He has no significant experience. He is just a good speaker. He is good at talking bull **** . A black cashier in Walmart was telling one of her customers how he was sent down from God. That he was the messiah. I felt like telling her I thought he could possible be the antichrist. Give me a freaking break. I am from Illinois and never heard much about him until he decided to run for President. Also we need to take into consideration the people he has socialized with thru the years. We tell our kids how their friends can have an influence on them and to stay away from certain negative influences. Obama has had some shady acquaintances thru the years now they are all keeping their distance. That is until after the election. In the beginning I was considering Obama but after learning more about him I really think he is all hot air and no real substance. Same for Michelle. What has she done in her life that has been so awe inspiring to others besides attending an Ivy League school.

I am only 15 years old and I proudly support john McCain and sara palin. I really don't see what anyone likes about barrack. He wants to raise income, payroll,death tax and many others. He would be taking your hard earned money and spend it for his own cause. He would also not want to explore many alternative fuel sources like nuclear power. It is the most efficiant and almost the cleanest(besides wind power) form of energy. It takes about 200,000 windmills to equal the power of a nuclear power plant and that's if you have a strong wind. Also the health care that we have in place right now is so much better than most other countys and especially universal health care. If you have a sickness the hospitals can't turn you down they will work with you to have an aforeable payment and if you can't pay any of it you won't pay a dime. Even if we do get universial health care everyone gets the grade C crap medication. So that is why I support john McCain.
