Dear left half of America...

Quote by: ShadowFox Wow, that's just sad.

To be fair, it is better designed than that "Big Brother" poster on another thread that I won't link to because I think Admin wants it to die a natural if somewhat overdue death.

I think this topic really is the epitome of panic among Republicans. Obama's leading in the polls and according to the CNN electoral map, even if McCain sweeps all the toss-ups, he still needs to take a Blue state to be president. It's the same mindset that caused that woman to carve a backwards B in her face (funny, if she to use an O, she could have avoided being shown as insane) and claim to be assaulted by an Obama supporter. It never ceases to amaze me how desperate Republicans get when things look bleak.

Topic: "You Bleep, bleep, bleep, democrats need to open your eyes and realize what a bad choice Obama is, though I dont expect you too."

First of all, to be fair, of the description you gave of the people to whom you are addressing must be a very small group of people. I know many Democrats may fall under one or several of those derogatory implications you made, but not all, and the same could fairly be said about the Republicans. (P.S. I am a republican) Much of what you take for granted is highly debatable, and you have displayed most admirably the strengths of a good political debater; to make so many attacks that no one could ever rebuttal it all in a timely matter. However I do agree with the general jist that Democrats are too focused on winning than they are with who they put up and what he represents. Not what he claims he represents, but what those skeletons in the closet show he represents. Not to say that McCain isn’t without a skeleton or two, but that Obama could fill several graveyards with what he's hiding.

Really??? Like what? And don't give me your William Ayers, Reverend Wright nonsense. That's guilt by association without a shred of support.

Sara Palin, on the other hand, was a member of the Alaska Independence Party, which favored Alaska's secession from the United States. That doesn't bother you?

Or that John McCain was an incompetent pilot and officer whose last of many crashes landed him in North Vietnam, where he sang like a songbird to his Hanoi captors. Hey, I submit the McCain is actually a Manchurian Candidate, created by the North Vietnamese.

Prove me wrong!

That is all it takes.

And Sonart, what good is it to ask someone to do the homework for you? You should already know "like what", you read the news headlines right?

Obama is a socialist, who's voters are irrational violent people, that pal around with terrorists.

Here is something else that shows Obama is not suited for President.

The Associated Press: AP: Obama aunt from Kenya living illegally in US

Come on, we need to let Republicans understand that tricks are predictable.

Quote by: famousde Dear left wing, selfish, racist, partisan, dishonest, immoral, disgusting democrats of America, Please take a moment to step back from your self absorbed, selfish, self serving, greedy stupid minds.. And consider who you are about to put in charge of our country. I know that you left thieves and cheaters have plenty of reasons for wanting Obama to win, and I know that there are plenty of ways in which Obama being president would benefit you more than a McCain presidency; however, this is one of those times where it would be wise to spot the forest through the trees - something that we know is nearly impo0ssible for the typical left wing, self absorbed, ambition drenched democratic American to do. Consider that voting this terrorist into office will weaken or destroy the very entity that you all so shamelessly manipulate and rape to your delight and advantage. Protect the great thing you have going - this country which is such a prime environment for your godlessness and dishonesty.... now is the time for you to save and protect the nation, so it can live on and continue to serve your careless and immoral ways for many centuries to come. I know you would sell out your own mother for pride or to win a point, so, why am I wasting my breath asking you not to sell out your country for a perceived political victory?

There is not one assertion made in this diatribe that can be supported with a fact. This is not debatable. It's merely an expression of hatred.

LOL

That reminds me... It never ceases to amaze me that supporters will point to McCain's military record as "experience"... Um... He got SHOT DOWN. Which means he failed at his mission. While the ensuing POW situation was certainly an example of overcoming adversity, his military record up to that point is certainly nothing to crow about.

It's like "Francis Gary Powers and Jessica Lynch '08!!!"

Quote by: tivo The "left" and "right" are so blurred it's difficult to discern which policies are which anymore.

No it isn't. The left advocates regulation of the market for general public good by a democratically elected authority. Rather than the ideologically rigid market-fundamentalism that has just shown itself to be misguided and dangerous for public welfare.

If you think the current economic situation is somehow an indictment of the free market ...

I do, It's obvious.

... you are laughably misinformed.

I see. Black is, in fact, white. And white black. OK. That is laughable.

McCain has met with some pretty despicable characters in his time. I heard that he once shook hands with Dick Cheney.

Quote by: Nono I'm fully prepared for Obama -- should he be elected -- to disappoint us lefties. But we've just seen -- on Hallowed Wall Street -- everything the Right has been preaching to us since Ronald Reagan (nay, since Barry Goldwater) shown to be the codswollop I've always said it was. So this is a true historical juncture, and Obama could just turn out to be another Jack Kennedy, or better.

And people like Barney Frank pushing Fannie Mae to loan money to the unqualified has nothing to do with the situation? It was all the eeeviiilll repuglicans? Riiiight. The Democrats are saints, we all know this.

Are you serious? The left advocates empowering itself to attain it's agenda. It wants to "regulate" markets in order to control them. Markets should exist for their own sake, not so that liberals can use them as a tool to pursue their economic agenda. The Democrats obtain power by one means and only one means. It has to steal money from one group of Americans to pay off others to get their votes and assume the power required to implement their ideology. Doesn't matter to them that nothing in the constitution allows this redistribution of wealth. The ends justify the means.

...wow...simply wow. You do realize that the deregulation is what CAUSED our little recession right? They want to bring back the regulations, so this stuff doesn't happen again.

Is there anything in the constitution which prohibits this kind of redistribution of wealth?

Obama will raise the top 5% tax bracket by a measly 3%, back to where they were 10 years ago. I think they'll live, I'm sure they can find scraps of food somewhere on the streets of...5th Avenue.

This Aunt is the half sister of Obama's step father. Which means she is not Obama's aunt. If I had a step father, and he had a half sister, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't even know about her, nor would i give her money even if i did know she existed.

I really am not a Obama supporter, however there is more dirt on McCain than anyone realizes so you gotta look at both sides of dirt. Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain

Quote by: Daley The left advocates empowering itself to attain it's agenda.

Duh! Isn't that what all political parties do? Isn't that their raison d'etre? Don't people vote for a particular party in the hope and expectation that, while in office, it will "attain it's agenda" as set out prior to the election?

Quote by: Daley It wants to "regulate" markets in order to control them.

Duh! Aren't these the same thing? Haven't we had some recent unfortunate experience due to markets not being adequately regulated and so going out of control?

Quote by: Daley Markets should exist for their own sake, not so that liberals can use them as a tool to pursue their economic agenda.

Duh! But you don't have a problem with unelected corporations using markets as a tool to pursue their economic agenda?

Quote by: Daley The Democrats obtain power by one means and only one means. It has to steal money from one group of Americans to pay off others to get their votes and assume the power required to implement their ideology

Duh! And the Republicans are different how, exactly? Do republican governments not levy taxes and steer the revenues towards the groups that they favour?

Quote by: Daley Doesn't matter to them that nothing in the constitution allows this redistribution of wealth. The ends justify the means.

Duh! Does a Democrat government work under a different constitution from a Republican government? Does the constitution prohibit either from levying taxes a disbursing the revenues?

[ARNGmom]

All these people that say Obama will take from the rich to give to the poor, they have taken that way out of context. Any new President will offer new tax plans. Oh...what did you say about the bailout?? ummm..did we just bail out the rich and make the rest of the country pay? That would be taking from the poor to give to the rich. hellloooo....
