The presence of WMDs is irrelevant when you look at the big picture. There were three big reasons the UN (not just America, 100+ countries) went to war against Saddam Hussein:
I misspelled it to emphasize the stupidity of the plan. An uneducated child would write a word in that way. In no way was it intended to be a hip-hop or "gang tag" style. Therefore there was no "veiled implication" that Obama is a street thug (he's actually a pompous elitist). Furthermore, it doesn't make much sense to criticize my spelling when you don't have the sense to spell "sense" correctly.
I wonder, if you could please provide your reasoning, because otherwise, it's a baseless insult, and I'm not the one that comes across as an idiot, seriously.
Obama offers tax credits for small buisness, and many times they come out ahead.
large buisness ship jobs overseas not only to avoid american tax, but to hire cheaper labor, and while those comanies profits would go up, ask yuorself why that is good for america. Sure the companies make obscene money for the small amount of people who own them, but the vast majority of americans are left behind to scround a mcjob and suffer, that is unamerican.
It will be HARDER to make serious money for small business under Obama. Ultra small business and Mom and Pop shops provide few jobs as compared to the mega corporations you malign. If Obama hammers big business, what keeps them from setting up shop in Ireland (lowest Corp. Tax rate)and killing off even more jobs? Again, Obama feels good but in a market economy, even if it is uncomfortable at times (recent stock debacle)- let the market work it out and keep the gov out as much as possible.
Small mind conservatives have one answer for everything, cut taxes, and to that I ask you, after 8 years of conservative power, how is the country doing, how are the citizens doing?
Honestly, I would agree with you if a CONSERVATIVE was in the white house. The problems for ANY Prez is when they start spending money freely. Bush had 9/11 and he jumped in full force into the wars. The crazy prescription money to buy the elder vote - all of it just COST TOO MUCH. History proves reducing taxes appropriately (know I don't know the right mix)generates MORE income for the gov. Regardless who wins - THEY HAVE TO STOP SPENDING SO MUCH even if deserving people have to help more.
You had a conservative, and look. You are running his exact same replacement.
The reality is the party you are voting for is not a conservative party, and Democrats are the party of fiscal restraint.
You may not like it, but you certainly wont help your party back to its roots by voting for ignorant people like palin or right wing attack dogs who no longer thing only attack.
I don't think McCain is the same - that is why the Repubs were not overly anxious to put him forward. Honestly my gripes with McCain again have to do with PROMISING too much just like Obama. I hope you are right that the Dems (or whoever wins) will be fiscally restrained but Pelosi is very partisan and Reid seems unmotivating - they are a problem. I know the inexperienced argument but I DO like Palin. She is fresh and in a very real way, that is Obama's appeal to folks too. She's here to stay.
I feel sorry for you, there was not a single valid talking point in this entire farce of a video, his comments are misinformed to the point of absurdity and I will wait with glee in 4 years for him to be proven wrong.
One valid point he fails to mention is many of the things he pre faults Obama for sauch as the stagnant economy and outsourcing are in fact situations left over from republican rule of the country, and prefaulting Obama for not being able to prevent the oncoming disaster is ironic
Don't feel sorry for me - all of us are in the soup if Obama wins. You are right that Obama's policies are not "strictly" socialist - they are in fact MARXIST. I hesitate to use the term because it feels too extreme. I know Obama will try and I hope he succeeds as I do for all President's. Unfortunately the combination of his taxing policy on business in concert with a truly far left and out of touch Congressional leadership will drag Obama down even if he has good intentions. We'll see soon.
Yes I am afraid of America following the lead of failed Republics like France, Spain, Italy, and marginally the U.K. All were great powers once but fell to the temptations of the nanny state. Obama feeds off of "feelings" not logic. As a supporter, you constantly name-call and mock,yet it is I who consistently offer reasoned counterpoint while you stew with frustration? It is you who is most afraid . If B.O. (pun intended)fails to win, I am afraid that your FEELINGS will get hurt. Good Luck
I'm scared, too. With Obama's policies, we will no doubt head into a second Great Depression, and the threat from America's enemies would grow greater by the day. We did not have nearly the same problems when Clinton was elected, so you better believe I'm scared.
Why would I listen to a racist redneck like you when I'm choosing the president of my country. You guys have ruined the country's economy, charisma and image in the last 8 years.
I'm not racist. Obama will be viewed unequally because of his skin color--- exactly the opposite of what Dr. King hoped for. What I want is for race not to be an issue at all. I just wish the rest of the world felt the same way.
I'm disappointed with the Republican Party, too! But that doesn't mean we should swing all the way left. That would be even worse.
Actually the upside to an Obama presidency is I hope that we can finally move on beyond the cliche that RACE is holding anyone back in America. This country offers the most opportunities in the world to ANYONE even non-citizens. Sadly if Obama loses, the world will fall all over themselves to call us all racists. The truth of course is that some of us just do not appreciate the tried, true, and tested FAILURES of a socialist state.
Part of my response is based on his hateful mocking tone, "i am not gonna talk about these things but here I am talking about them" without having to defend them with intellectual honesty.
1: all of his points are empty, mocking people for respecting the first presdent in 8 years worthy of respect.
2: only an idiot would call Obama's policies socialist, mccain offered defense of progressive taxes on video and the earned income credit (a major refundable tax credit) was invented by regan.
3. Obama has never promised to remove all troops from the world. Your adversarial tone about the rest of the world sounds like something STalin would say, do you not understand how the rest of the world used to look up to us and respect us, and instead having them cower to us in fear untill someone invents a bigger stick is not only dangerous but completely evil!
Obama got his political boost COMPLETELY on the idea that he did not want the Iraq war and unlike Hillary he could not be persuaded otherwise. He said he would end the war immediately if elected. Now it is he will end it "Responsibly" because he knows it will be years before all troops are out of Iraq. Watch and learn. Further Obama's total inability to acknowledge that the surge HELPED in Iraq yet proposes similar strategy in Afghanistan really shows the guy is too controlled by his own ego.
I don't understand why you find the vid threatening? I honestly think it is thought provoking and respectfully delivered. You should listen to all points of view and decide. Consider the economy, the judge issue, the SINGLE party running the gov, national security, experience etc. I think reducing yourself to name-calling (especially a "racist" - why - I don't get it?) weakens your own positions and looks thoughtless. Vote for who you want but make them earn your vote - don't do it blindly.
Sorry - that was for some other guy , I probably somehow messed it up? By the way it is hard to talk in 500 word clips but I DO APPRECIATE your point of view. You are an informed voter - that is all I ask. You do not have to agree with me and vote my way, just think and you do that very well. I do tend to get on my high horse with the name-calling by others because it is not helpful to the mission. Ultimately we all REALLY do want a better America. The hard part is finding the balance of ideas.

I bet you feel good now that he's actually president. I hope you do, because you've been right no matter what other punks say on this comment page.
There is a secular (Satanic in disguise) new world order in which Obama is scratching toward as we speak, as you probably already know.
salaam/peace.

The presence of WMDs is irrelevant when you look at the big picture. There were three big reasons the UN (not just America, 100+ countries) went to war against Saddam Hussein:
tegthethird 3 years ago
1. He was a ruthless dictator that commissioned genocide by gassing his own people, among other unspeakable acts.
2. While he was not directly involved in the 9/11 attacks, Iraq was still a haven for those who wished us harm. Attacking WAS in our best interest.
3. Countless intelligence agencies thought there were WMDs. The Clinton appointed director of the CIA told Bush it was "a slam-dunk."
Any one of these was reason enough, and two out of three ain't bad.

Do you even know what marxist means, you are on the face obviously retarded seriously, you are so completely wrong as to merit disdain and mockery.
No wonder you are afraid of an Obama presidency, you obviously are afraid of anything you do not understand, which would appear to be quite a lot.
Luckily gnorant people such as yourself thankfully are too small a minority to change the outcome of the election and the future.
Please sit down and turn on nascar and let the grownups run the country.
