He does have a point. Hitler came up and told the people what they wanted to hear because they were fed up with the current administration. In this essence, he is right.

from the standpoint that he is a great orator, and so was hitler, i guess there's room for comparison... but that's where it ends. i think its extremely bad form to mention Hitler and obama in the same breath!

I watched dateline or 60 minutes awhile back where they talked to one of the guards that interviewed Sadaam; He said he wanted the world to think he had weapons of mass destruction, even tho he actually didn't. He wanted the world to believe that because of country's like the ever threatening Iran. It was his strategy to protect his country (him self) from invasion of a powerful neighboring force.

You cant not in my opinion consider yourself an independent and vote republican consistently, why not just man up and pick the party. I highly doubt you will vote Green Party or etc.

The only thing that hitler and obama have in common is the ability to wow the masses of people in such a short time. Otherwise to compare him to hitler is just as typical as a GOP tactic of slandering and defaming the candidate.

I will not pick the party because I do not believe in their social policies. I stated that. I am not a Republican, I will not call myself one.

We all know that both parties have been guilty of this on more than one occasion.

No i completely disagree with you. This "campaign" from senator McCain has been nothing but negativity towards Obama. I did not once see the senator calling McCain "that one" as he did to Obama. Nor did i see people yelling racial remarks at obamas or bidens rallies.

No one has to "man up" and join a party. Anyone can do anything consistently if they want to...has nothing to do with whether or not they declare themselves Independent.

Man up...that's retarded.

He's Independent just like I am, we pick who's best at the time. We don't represent ANY party in particular. Party politics are for the blind and ignorant that enjoy being lead around, I prefer to call them Sheeple.

Don't tell someone to man up and join a party.

Obama did have negative ads run against McCain...that's fact. So when he said both did it, he was correct. Stop being so blindly loyal.

Showing a voting pattern does in fact show a leaning to a party. thus showing a loyalty. Showing Negative Ads is not the same thing as slandering an opponent. many analysts say that had Kerry slandered his opponent as Bush did it could have given him more of a chance. That just goes to prove that americans can be easily pushed by a candidate due to defaming an opponent.

Just as easily as they can be swayed by talk of hope and change.

Point was, negative is negative...period. That was what he said.

I dont like the comparison... but comparing someone who could very well be the next president of the free world to one of the most destructive human beings this world has ever seen is not in anyones best interest.

Obama isnt the first person to be a strong speaker... Did JFK get compared to Hitler for being well spoken?

Someone may have...we're not speaking on the world platform here homie. Just a couple car guys shooting the ish.

Hitler told the people what they wanted to hear, so does Obama. We're not saying Obama is a friggin Nazi and we aren't saying that Obama is like Hitler other then their ability to sway masses of people.

You know what I'm saying dude, you're one of the sheeple

Leaning yes. I'm leaning towards the republican party for the reasons I explained. While I could get what I want socially from the democrats, I will NEVER get what I want from the democratic party economically. I CAN get what I want financially from the Republicans and I believe that I will eventually get what I want socially from the Republicans. Obviously this makes me lean towards the Republicans. But I owe them no loyalty.

What do you want economically?

I find it hard to believe that someone who calls themselves "poor" can find relief thru the economic beliefs of the republicans.

What will you get financially from the Republicans? McCain is practically a Dem from an economic perspective.

Stop being so blind, Obama ran negative ads too. Also, its an indesputable fact Obama ran more, he had so much more money and ran many more ads. The only really negative ads I saw from McCain in my area were actually on election day, and they pretty much said said that he is risky because we dont know much about him
