Couple reasons we should vote for Obama:

1. Not to vote for a guy who voted 90% of the time with Bush. 2. A person who believes life begins at conception. And that little tiny cell has a right to life as you and me. No abortion.3. Not to vote for an elitist with 11 houses. Someone who thinks middle class is someone who makes couple million bucks a year.4. Not to vote for someone, who panicked and mistakenly chose an idiotic hockey mom (which is avoiding the media now, scared of being asked serious questions), and a chance that he will kick the bucket before the end of his first term, making the hockey mom our next president.

Reason to vote for Obama is to choose someone who is right for the country's future, and not fix problems short term. Think ahead, 20 years down the road.

And that Joe the plumber, is not really a plumber!! No plumbing license even.

And Obama supported him 1/2 the time while voting what his party told him to do 95% of the time. With the amount of partisan voting going on Obama supporting Bush 1/2 the time is quite interesting. As far as McCain? No, he has _always_ voted along party lines like Obama has

NOT

2. And? So what? He does not think that the Feds should be making abortion policy and I agree with that. The states should be making that policy and the Feds need to stay out of it.

3. He married a rich woman. Look at Obama and the 7.5Mil he made last year alone. As far as the "5 million" remark that was taken out of context and I have proven it here. Read the transcript and educate yourself.

4. You mean the hockey mom that the MSM and others keep comparing to Obama's experience instead of Biden? In some aspects she has more experience than the other 3 combined.

You mean someone who will put policy in place that we can never get away from? Like UH? Like windfall taxes? Hell, it could easily take us 20 years just to try and dig us out of his socialistic agendas.

Please, please tell me that Palin's presidency would be disastrous for us.USA is the 1st country in the world. (at least we were in many aspects) How is it possible that the idiots are in the center running the show. How is that possible?

Look at European countries. I cannot imagine someone like Palin getting ahead, or chosen for VP candidacy. We are young and dumb.

Guess what, that is not how Mccain presented him at the final debate yesterday. If he did, then we wouldn't be having this conversation. I believe the words used was to connect with the lower middle, and upper lower class. The term used was Joe the plumber.

And when the TV viewer hears the term "Joe the plumber", this is what comes to their mind.



Not an apprentice!

This settles it, BUT

Obama said the tax is cut, for $250,000, but increased to 39% from 36% for anything above 250,000.

So Joe the Apprentice, will pay 39% only on the difference. ($revenue-$250,000) <--- taxed at 39%.

Wonder if that is true?

Speak for yourself. I'm not young OR dumb.

Let me make this simple, and it's not by any stretch a support of Palin but a criticism of something dumb you said:

Sarah Palin, business owner.You, not.

Sarah Palin, well-educated.You, not.

Sarah Palin, high approval rating by her constituents.You, not.

Sarah Palin, Mayor.You, not.

Sarah Palin, Governor.You, not.

Apparently, you're ranking even lower than an "idiotic hockey mom".

I'd start looking for your plastic bag and duct tape headgear.

I am not running for VP, but at least I know that she is the dumbest one among any chosen ones I've seen in my lifetime. A true bimbo by VP standards. Chosen by Mccain in rush. Having been interviewed once, and now basically avoiding the media to lower the chance of screw ups. Well guess what, it is over. People simply are turning to democrats because of the last 8 years of pathetic administration. My last boss said that the history will show George W as a good president. I wanted to slap him then, and want to punch him now.

I may also be the dumb one (from your arrogant point of view), but in the 8 years living in the states, I have accomplished the things that more than average American kids cannot.

Finished college by working nights. Now making the same money for my age group at the same field with US born 26 year olds. And now, visioning the future or creating my big business in a couple of years. So please do not call me dumb. It is easy to shout names across the net.

Oh and also, you cannot put the bulldog with a lipstick in Paris, and expect her to behave like a lady. Or like the saying, faster you rise, harder you fall. She is not qualified, and it killed Mccain's campaign.

Bill Maher said the talent is like pornography, you know it when you see it. I agree.

HER EDUCATION:

She received her bachelor's degree in communications-journalism from the University of Idaho and attended the following schools

* Hawaii Pacific University (Fall 1982), * North Idaho College (Spring 1983 & Fall 1983), * University of Idaho (Fall 1984 - Spring 1985), * Matanuska-Susitna College (Fall 1985) and * University of Idaho (Spring 1986, Fall 1986 and Spring 1987 ).

Before this she graduated from Wasilla High School in Wasilla, Alaska.

LOOKS PRETTY SHADY MATE, SOMEONE WHO DROPS OUT A LOT. NOT A PERSON I WOULD WANT AS A VICE PRESIDENT, AND I ALSO WOULD QUESTION YOUR "DUMBNESS/INTELLIGENCE" GREG, IF YOU BELIEVE THAT EVEN A SLIGHT POSSIBILITY OF HER BECOMING A PRESIDENT IS OKAY.

THIS IS NOT SOMEONE I WOULD WANT AS A VP OR GOD FORBID AS A PRESIDENT:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/....html

IT SHOWS A RELIGIOUS BELIEF AFFECTING HER RATIONALE THINKING.

-nothing personal, I just want what is best for this country as I'll be spending rest of my life here-

OK, let's not make this about you.

If she were male, would you use the term "bimbo"? Do you have the foggiest idea what the word means?

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you misuse words because of some cultural misunderstanding, not because you're sexist or misogynist.
sanioll wrote:Oh and also, you cannot put the bulldog with a lipstick in Paris, and expect her to behave like a lady.
I have no clue what this jibberish is. What does "behave like a lady" mean? And who gives a damn about Paris?

Trust me, she wouldn't be my first choice by any means...

But I sure as hell don't want my country ruined by Senator Obama, the socialist apologist who kicks America in front of foreign audiences, spent 20 years listening to anti-American hate speech in church, who's never led a city OR a state, who's never drafted or sponsored legislation, never owned a business, never been a manager, and who has some shady background of his own.

Oh, but he sure talks purty.

You know I criticize this country a lot and want to make it better. That is all.

This year has been interesting and historic. And 401k of mine has gone down by about 25%. Not fun.

I gotta tell you straight up, one of the most successful women I know bounced around from college to college. Its not that she dropped out, its called transferring. Maybe she didn't like it there or money became an issue, you have no idea what was going on for her.

She's dumb? She knows more about the VP position than Biden does, even CNN agrees with that.

Politics in European countries is much, much more different than it is here. Is it because we're dumb? No. Could it be because of our country's age, maybe? A liberal here would be conservative across the pond. At the same time, older people gravitate towards the conservative side of the political spectrum, so maybe age isn't a very good argument.

Please keep the Caps Lock use to a minimum. Thanks.

You will never convince Greg and a few others here that they are so wrong in attempting to make a case for McCain.

They will now blame the MSM again as all the major daily newspapers are supporting Obama.

Most Americans no longer believe what the RNC and McCain/Palin are saying. Yes people show up for their rallies but many of those are changing their minds as to who is going to get their vote.

Economy
