I like turtles.

It's difficult to be open about my identity. I have already been threatened twice by the CIA AT MY HOME because of my knowledge of AIG's involvement in 911. We had a summer house in Kennebunkport, my cousin married a Kennedy in the '50s. I met GW when he was 14 & my family were friends with the Walkers. I've had conversations with: Walter Cronkite, Hugh Downs, RFK, Spiro Agnew & Jimmy Carter.

My 7th great grandfather was the governor of NH & second to sign the Declaration of Independence.

If what you’re saying is true of yourself and your family, I’m not surprised. I’ve long suspected the oligarchs are prepared to take any measure to maintain their “control.” They are a dangerous brand of terrorists, more so than the religious zealots the media hypes up, because unlike them, the elites have the means of executing devastation never before seen. They need only seat their puppet Romney, who’ll dismantle the people's government, and hand it to his masters on a silver plate.

I am of the idea that this is a return to another "DARK AGE".

There is a VERY good reason for that. I am a "black sheep" of an "elite" family.

My relations CONTINUOUSLY talk about losing their "control", that the internet was a HUGE mistake and the only thing left to regain absolute control is force.

I'm not joking.

They ACTUALLY believe they can control their "slaves" though technology - hidden weapons systems!

These psychopaths are gearing up for war against ALL humanity!

Hello there, did you hear about "BoxObama" (do a Google search for it)? There you will be able to play an entertaining boxing game and even get a new iPad. It is totally free. Command Romney and hit President Obama or the other way round. Numerous others have actually played at this time, perhaps you wish to join the fun as well.

I personally don't agree with Obama on many levels. Let's start with his ideas on success. Republicans beat this one to death, but I'm sure you've heard about how Obama claims that successful people owe something to the government. If you've ever worked at building a business, the last thing you do is thank the government. Obama used this to sell his concept of taking from the rich and giving to the poor.

Another thing I don't understand. Why does the left not criticize Obama for the war?

[Stephen Bryce]

I fail to see what a pro baseball player has to do with a national election, but it doesn't take a partisan liberal to see that Obama has not only made a real effort to fix the country, but succeeded in some major ways -- meanwhile, the GOP just wants to burn everything to the ground, for no other reason than a black moderate being in the Oval Office.

[Amy Selwyn]

I disagree. I am transparently pro-Obama. I don't think he's a messiah. I do think he's good for the largest number of Americans. So that's where I am coming from. I state it upfront. So, beyond dismissing both, what is your plan? What action are you willing to take?
