Obama, Democrats on track to landslide victory - Yahoo! News

I think this will happen

I have heard several times just today from democrats that John McCain does not have a "vision". I have a vision and memory of America that I think that John McCain shares. I grew up in the 1980s. My childhood America was an America that was strong and great and that has continued to be so. There is no need to re-invent America. America does not need to move or act rashly for the sake of opinions abroad. America has fought long wars and held many long arguments at home and in far off places to arrive in history where it has. We are for the better part a people of faith, blessed with freedom and democracy, greatful to our Creator, a charitable America and a peaceable nation and yet a people of passion and invention. I look at Barack Obama and his list of dubious associations and I see an America that is unfamiliar to me. I see an Obama America that is hostile, reactive and genuinely unappreciative. Obama's America is one that doesn't get the world and who doesn't even understand itself. Obama's America seems to seethe with envy and righteous indignation, is self accusatory, penitent and ready for self flagellation before the world for its many obvious flaws and failures.

John McCain's America to me looks like the America that I grew up in. It reminds me of Ronald Reagon's vision of America. Their America and mine was an America strongly moving forward, looking to the future, optimistic despite hardship and imperfections. It is an America that concerns itself with its own safety and vital national interests with self determination while at the same time proceeding with complete attention and concern for her neighbors and allies. Years ago we weren't so afraid to call evil by its name and address our threats directly and publically even while holding out a strong hand for diplomacy, but diplomacy on the grounds of the recognition of human rights and freedoms. Barack Obama seems more concerened with our standing amongst European intelligencia and cultural centers in foreign nations and governing bodies.

But finally, to go back to my original premise. These days about America, I don't feel so secure as I once did. I hope that we are not heading in the bleak direction we appear to be. If America seems rather unsettled these days to Barack Obama he should understand that it is because we feel that we have something to lose. We are being misunderstood. I would like to think that optimism will prevail. But I believe that it is more than simply being caught up in the emotions of the election season. I and many others simply don't subscribe to an Obama vision of America. For me, and my experiences in my life as an American, John McCain's vision of America, looks a lot like my America. And God bless that America!

Your version of America sucks. I, too, was alive during the Reagan and Bush Sr. years and if there was one thing I carried away from that period was the sense that they were in it for the wealthy and that was it. The middle class could take a big flying leap at a rolling donut.

Also, back then, our government kept us in line through fear of communists and fear of nuclear annihilation from the Soviets. That America and that world are long in the past. This is an entirely new era and republicans like Reagan and Bush Sr. are not intellectually equipped to deal with it.

Your America sucks. It's most certainly not the America I want to see return.

I too had a dream about America, and that dream was the Big Mac. 100% beef paties,lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions,special sauce, on a seseme bun. That dream came true because of great leaders like Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George Sr. and Jr.

Now read how much beef is really in the patty.

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket;
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man,
And as for the bucket, Nantucket

But he followed the pair to Pawtucket--
The man and the girl with the bucket;
And he said to the man
He was welcome to Nan,
But as for the bucket, Pawtucket.

You right wing nuts had better take cover because the democrats will soon be in power and soon I won't have to see Bush's stupid looking face and Cheney with that sneer on his dishonest face, or, listen to anymore of your rantings ravings and out and out lies about Obama. OBAMA/ BIDEN in 08.

If Obama becomes president we may lose the dollar menu. He has always had a beef with me. He told me that one of his first acts as President would be to rid of the dollar menu. America do what is right and vote McCain and have a cheeseburger.
Thank you Ronnie McDonald

The thought of the future is getting bleak as we see our 401`s and life long savings go down the tube.We owe this to the Democrats and their rule in Congress.Our world is in for a tumble and it isn`t for sure we poor will come out upright.

The polls are predicting a win for Obama.We will see.My fear is this may happen.The above post from( McCain supporter) covers the way the future was in my thoughts,also.And can remember WW2 ,Korea,Vietman,before Irac and hope, no more.!!We need a long road to recovery and Obama does not impress me as the right one.

That's right! And I remember too. Started out with a bang--let's fire all the air traffic controllers and DAMAGE the unions FOREVER, if possible.(Read: midlle class)

Then, let's go down to Latin American and kill many, many innocent people. And other dirty politics. War on drugs, my @ss!! Try, "Let's have our cut." Just say no, Nancy...

The list goes on and on and on. But go ahead folks and put on your blinders because YOUNG America is smarter than you ever were--despite the half-assed educational system you left us--and are supporting and voting for Obama.

And, let's tell some more (and more meaningful) truth: You people just cannot STAND the idea of a person of color in the "white house." Get over it; get over yourselves.

This is the 21st century, and we're taking America back!!

What a great post that is!!!! I just can not understand why voters would vote to put another Bush follower in the White House. Haven't you folks had enough of the Bush's and McCain? My gosh, economically we are bankrupt, highest unemployment, do you want bread lines, soup lines like we had when Herbert Hoover, Republican, was President? Do you remember that depression??? I do.

That McCain Supporter amuses me no end, my laughs for the day reading her blah, blah, blah and more blah. The GOP is scared to death; and they are using any tatic possible to try and destroy Obama's rep; but IT WILL NOT WORK. Their swift boat tactics defeated John Kerry as President, so they probably figure this fodder may work again; but IT WILL NOT WORK.

Obama/Biden our next President & VP get used to it you dyed in the wool Republicans.

If you think McCain is a Bush follower your head must be up Obamas azz.

Is your correct name "bumbo" or "Dumbo"?

I agree. Great post!! I myself cannot understand why anybody in this financial depressed area would be a republican, or follow republican ideals. Most here are not rich enough to benefit from any republican policy. Time for someone who can take it away from the rich and help US! Think about this, if McCain is elected, and dies in office, the self proclaimed soccer mom NUTCASE will be our supreme ruler. I didn't think it was possible, but this woman is "STUPIDER" than "lil bush". GOD SAVE US.

Only the lazy are financially depressed. The hard workers who expect no hand outs have no problems.

And the hard-workers around the country that have lost their jobs because of the current economic crisis? How about nose-diving Pensions? They must be lazy, too, then? Lazy people. That explains it. And here I thought it had something to do with De-Regulation and the unchecked Free Market System. Silly me.

Don't mind "dumbo" everyone, he is obviously living in an imaginary america where the only hard workers are those lazy ass fat cats that make millions of dollars off of the work of the middle class...lol! sorry but the rest of us live in reality and the truth is that most Americans are hard workers and all Americans weather you notice it or not dumbo are losing out, which is a very big PROBLEM!! so you can keep living in fantasy land until the day you retire and findout you have no 401k and the U.S. dollar is worth less than the mexican peso, all because you voted another money grubbing, all for the rich, none for the poor and middle-class, greedy moron Republican! America is Nottingham and its about time Robin Hood came out of sherwood forest to save us from Sherrif Bush/McCain type tax tyranny!

I and my spouse are not lazy we work several jobs and still cannot make ends meet with today's prices on fuel, food, insurance and many other things that have rose from the financial crisis. To call the workers here lazy is a stupid and insulting remark, you should change your name to Dumbo as suggested.
Also McCain is for the rich and will continue to be, he is like a Chameleon, changing his colors to blend in. Look at his latest maneuver now he is sorry for all the hatred his negativity caused.
A vote for McCain is a vote for disaster, he has erratic tendencies that could cause irreputable damage to realation with foreign countries and within our own.

You got it right on the "money" there my friend...lol! The republican party is all about personal profits, everything else they stand for as traditionalists is bunch of crap used to control those below the upper class that won't profit from their administrative decisions! like that fake vision of a an all white christian america where gays should not marry, a woman shouldn't have the right to choose "abortion" witht no rights to her own body, blacks, hispanics, and other races must remain minorities, and terrorists are at the gates planning a full scale invasion so we better be afraid of anyone differant from "us" mentality! its all bull shit and just what the hay-seed hicks in many "Republican states" need to hear to win them over! only now more and more people are seeing through it and finally seeing how truly un-American the republican ideal really is! so i say go-go Obama, keep those conservatives pricks on the run!
