Who are you voting for? Read this first!

wow.

not sure what to say to all of this? i really want to go surf? i want to move to another country? who knows? probally just a cold one i guess....

 

amen... damn liberal media

 

Living in Delaware and attending the University of Delaware, I am surrounded by people who are head over heels in love with this guy. I cannot see eye to eye with them. I fail to see why he is so popular and how he still has such a huge following despite all of this factual information being out there, available to the general public. Its like He has them brainwashed. It is very troublesome. I do not look forward to the results of this election either. Kudos to gathering all this info and putting it together nicely. I'm already with you.

 

This is the same blind paranoid crap that got Bush elected for another 4 years. Yeah, let's continue that trend while we watch joblessness go up and our savings disappear and nobody can afford a mortgage anymore. I don't know about you, Mr. Deep pockets but I can stand a little of the wealth being spread around.

 

Don't vote for him because his middle name is Hussein...What a bunch of BS. He may not be the best candidate but he is much better than the war mongral McCain. That essay sounds like typical far right scare tactics, you have been listening to Rush Limbaw too much. Having Obama in the White House will improve foreign sentiment of our country so much it is incredible. This alone will bring in more foreign investment and additional efforts from all over the world to help us beat those American hating terrorists. McCain/Palin will just increase the hate from outside our borders and who knows what McCain will do with his finger on the trigger.

 

Love the "first world vs. third world" country part.

"America will be a minority-majority country (Not to sound "racist," but can we honestly expect America to remain a First World nation with a Third World population?)"

Thanks for the assurance that you're not sounding racist.

 

You are indeed entitled to your opinion and after reading you entry and all corresponding web links I have come to the conclusion that what I have read is just that....an opinion. I won't take the time to sit here and refute your post as you have made some good points but I will say Barack Obama "In my opinion" is not a threat to our way of life in this country. To me Obama represents us. Us being young Americans, Americans that have been raised by baby boomers and post baby boomers in the computer era of our relatively young country. No baby boomer envy's us No old timers envy us, the day and age we have grown up in has been fast paced as far as technology, moral change, production, consumption, communication, privacy(the lack there of) etc.... many old ideas no longer apply the way they once did and Its time for change, maybe not revolutionary change but radical change. We need to change the role we have played in the world and understand that Democracy doesn't work in all situations or nations. Its time for China to step up and start acting like the world leading superpower that they have become and attempt save the world by spreading foreign aid to all corners of the globe, while spending outrageous amounts of money thus allowing The United States to cut our debt owed to China by offering support (not full military obligation). I don't believe Obama stands for socialism more than any other politician and we must understand that some of the "Socialist activities" our government has been participating in have been brought on by Capitalism and the producer/consumer cycle we are so heavily invested in. Federally owned banks have been an inevitability we have been facing since 1929 and are not the bastard child of any one political party. Sure Obama probably will raise taxes but so will John McCain, we've got to pay for $850,000,000,000 worth of banks and homes the federal govt just invested in. I don't believe Obama will turn out to be some revolutionary communist but I do believe he sees thru the old concept that the impoverished lower class are a necessary byproduct of capitalism. I believe Obama has a strong grasp that the Middle Class creates the Upper Class and not the opposite. We are a country full of regular people almost incapable of a true revolution with the exception of a coup de' etat and with that I feel secure in my decision to Support Barack Obama for President. As always opinions are like a$$h0les......everybody's got one!

Because Obama has great bull****ting abilities means that foreign sentiment will improve???

Because Obama has great bull****ting abilities means that more foreign investment will come into the country??

The hate for the country has no party lines....it is all based on the jealousy of our freedoms and rights and our wealth...including our freedoms and rights to vote for whomever we want.

Thank you....thank you very much..

 

I'm not sure you really know what that means. Karl Marx also wanted to spread the wealth around. There is a reason socialism doesn't work.

P.S. and don't try to tell me that it's not socialism, like every other lib out there. If you don't think he is socialist, than you my friend, don't live in reality.

 

Voting for Obama

As a former member of the Republican't party, I am voting for Barack Obama. The past eight years we have seen the dollar lose 40% of it value, gas as double in price (it was 1.35 a gal. when Bush took office). I voted for and volunteered for the first term Bush. But everything the Republican't has touched has turned to crap. Katrina, cutting taxes during a war, enourmous gov't spending increases without oversight, wall street meltdown, the cluster*%($ that is Iraq. Need I go on?
As for McCain, his campaign has been bipolar at best. One minute Obama is an honorable man, then hes a socialist, then a communist, then its back to, he's not ready to be president "yet". The charge that Obama is inexperienced went out the window with Palin's pick. How can anyone take the McCain campaign suggestion that she is the most qualified person in the country to be VP? What about Governor Linda Lingle of Hawaii? 2 term republican, well liked by the mostly non white masses and governs over more people and a bigger budget than Alaska. But then again she isn't a bible thumping theocrat.
But seriously the quote "(Not to sound "racist," but can we honestly expect America to remain a First World nation with a Third World population?)" That quote alone should discredit the entire post. We are a nation of immigrants. When people were fleeing Europe, they weren't the rich "First Worlders" , they were the "third world" white people of Europe.
I could go on but the bottom line is John McCain was the guy that the Republicans thought was too old back in 2000 when he first ran. Replublican'ts have gotten it wrong on everything in the last 8 years and McCain was right there with them, supporting Bush.
Vote Obama, at least he will try and keep a living ocean for us to surf in.

 

Dude i don't buy that jealous of our freedom crap for one second. Terrorist groups don't exist out of jealousy dude. Believe it or not we cause our own problems in the middle east, and you know how? This unwavering support for Israel. We realized the instability in the region a long time ago so what did we do? We backed the guys with the biggest guns, that is, the nuclear bomb. So basically we sit over here and talk up Israel as the only stabilizing force in the middle east, but if anything we are just trying to cover our asses with the guys who are most likely to win. Well groups like Al Qaeda set out to show us they don't need the biggest guns to show that they are pissed off and won't be pushed around. I'm in no way supporting terrorism, but trying to but a little rational though into the situation. I can't stand you people with the "America is the greatest country ever" stuff. I think the America is the greatest country FOR US!!!! I wouldn't want to live anywhere else but part of being a patriot is questioning your government and making sure it's doing the best job it can. Which brings me to my reason for backing Obama. His plan for a diplomatic foreign policy is the best chance we have at repairing relations with countries like Iran and North Korea because unlike Bush he is willing to have a conversation, and heaven forbid compromise to find a solution to our past problems. If all we do is call people out on a national stage and make threats we will continue to see threats of violence. As far as all the communist, socialist talks are concerned, it seems a bit paranoid to me but hey if it happens ill be there to take Obama down just like everyone else.

 

Mr. Roboto

John McCain looks like Mr. Roboto, the guy can't even lift his arms, so he without a doubt cannot go for a surf. More importantly, the fact that he cannot move his arms in an un-robot-like manner means that he will most likely pass away during his four years in office. (actually a 33% chance statistically that will occur) and then we will have Mrs. I read any and all magazines, Mrs. I'll have to get back to ya, Mrs. I can see Russia from my house, Mrs. "Joe Sixpack". Mrs. Bipartisan Maverick running the god damn country. At least if Obama goes, we will have a person who has real experience, and not someone who just got their passport last year. Screw McCain and Nailin Palin (a new porno coming out) and go democratic.

 

Wow. My IQ just dropped like 10 points after reading that. You are the reason the Electoral College exists.

 

What about McCain's claim he wants to buy up all the bad mortgages? The government owning the mortgage to my house sounds pretty socialist to me. Socialism hasn't worked because it was forced on people in the past. The true dominance of socialism will only arise when the lower classes rise up in their position as the working class to realize their power in the production of goods and services. It is an idea based primarily on the industrialization that took place during the 18 and 1900's. The role of technology will one day stomp out any true possibilty for a marxist society and the true nature of past communist regimes will be realized. They were facist dictatorships under the guise of standing up for the worker. In a true marxist state the poverty that existed in the former soviet union and other countries doesn't exist in the utopian society described by Marx.

 

So true...

I concur. Enough with the scare tactics. Stop being afraid.

How can the neo-cons be trusted with our well-being when the only attack on our soil in the last 40+ years occurred on their watch. They knew there was a threat and chose not to take it seriously. If you want to be afraid, you should be frightened of them remaining in charge.

 

Current "socialist" systems in the United States:
- K-12 educational system.
- State College system.
- Police protection and in major metro areas, Fire Protection. EMTs if they aren't private.
- Parks, federal, state and local.
- Roads & Highways.
- Social Security
- Medicare
- Hoover damn power generation.
- Phone and electrical power delivery to rural areas.

Current systems that are socialist leaning:
- Farm subsidies.
- Private colleges who get research grants.
- Airline subsidies
- Anything that is a "public-private" partnership. An example: Nuclear power plants being insured by the federal government because no one else will insure them.
- Federal gov'ts buy into the banking system.
- Feds buy into AIG, the largest insurer in the world. Think I could get a break on my car insurance?

So the next time you drive down the road (public money) and surf the break that was recently repleneshed(public money). Or drive into the park at Indian River Inlet (public money) and surf the beach that has been replenished with sand paid for by the Army Corps of Engineers (public money).
Just remember somebody else paid for those things with tax dollars miles away from where you are surfing.
