  • Just for future reference, when you include Obama's middle name when referring to him, you're pretty much shouting to the world that you have nothing of importance to say. So anything after that (and before) is a waste of your time and energy. Why don't you try your hand at something other than being a tiny-brained right-wing hate troll. It probably doesn't pay very well.

  • I miss my Colorado...

  • Most of the media is quite liberal, but I have never seen it so openly and gleefully biased toward a candidate as it is toward that callow idiot Hussein Obama. The media is in the "tank" for him. It's truly disgusting. Like the Founding Fathers, I appreciate the idea of a FREE press, untrammeled by government control. But such a press should not be subjugated by a ruling ideology or the Democrat party either. Hussein Obama has such Left-wing ideas that if he is elected, America will be screwed.

  • I think its rather poignant having the convention at Denver. Jennings losing to Wilson meant that the country lost its grip on its financial institutions. Wilson would later say "... I have unwittingly ruined my country. ... No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by

    the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." lets hope that history will not repeat itself.

  • I'll bet you didn't do so well in your English classes.

  • Go Obama, we love you and we are ready for any party-crashing the Obama speech. the true is there and nobady can stop it..God Bles you Senator Obama

  • Going to be carzy Im working it!

  • I'll be a conservative party-crashing the Obama speech. Muahahah!!
