No way I'm sitting this election out, I have to vote for McCain.  Obama Nation is setting us up for the bomb. Think of the test the Islamo-Nazis have in store for us if this closet Muslim sympathizer is elected.  This election could mean your life, I live in a target area, right by the port of Long Beach, I'm serious, the way Obama Nation disdains this country is feeding into IslamoNazi hate.

Did you hear the response the Obamessiah gave to the 7 year old in Indiana regarding her question as to why he's running for President?  He trashed the country again.  The US is no longer as good as it once was.  That's why he wants to change it.

Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future.

Rules for Radicals, Sal Alinsky

Yes I saw it, I can't think of a more negative, stupid thing to say to a young person whose whole life is ahead of them than to be told that they live in a bad country.

McCain needs to gather up all the negative Obama clips and run a commercial of them the entire last week of the race to show Americans what a loser this clown is.

Instead, McCain's new ad is a montage of all the senior Democrats praising him and saying what a great patriot he is, including Obama and Clinton.  It makes a point because now they are all talking about what a geezer he is and how bad he is and how he doesn't get it..blah blah blah  

That ad might just backfire on McCain with Republicans because it is supposed to tempt Democrats to vote for him because he's such a swell guy.

Here's his new ad:

Do any of you understand the quagmire that Bush WRONGLY got us into? He gave up on Bin Laden and all but abandoned Afghanistan and the patriots fighting there so he could take down "the bad guy who threatened his daddy". Now more money than can be imagined is being flushed down the toilet in Iraq. More of that from his lackey McCain and all you care about are sensationalized sound bites. I'm definitely voting and NOT for McCain!

So, you are voting for Obama then?

One thing that I do not understand is why we are allowing Iraq to keep the $79 Billion surplus from their oil profits. Why are we paying for rebuilding their country? They have more money than we do. We have to be the dumbest people ever.

Because they haven’t put into law the accounting procedures that are needed to release funds from the government coffers for anything but simple day-to-day operations and especially payments that would go to other nations. They are trying to keep corruption from getting a foothold in the new government. Remember the Saddam 'food for oil" payments to the UN. Until that happens the money builds up. Once they have a ligament-operating budget we should see them start to pay for their own reconstruction. [Hopefully soon. I did read somewhere that there was talk of the US being paid back for some of its cost in actual oil but I cannot remember where I read it]. This also happen in Germany and Japan but did not take as long because there was not as much infighting with the newly formed governments. The US ended up forgiving some of the debts down the road later anyway. Britain just recently paid the US the last installment of its debt from WWII.
So don’t hold your breath about getting any money back soon.

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs.

Letter to President Bush, Signed by: -- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001

"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998.

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." -- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." -- Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002

He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ...

So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..." -- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
