I'm not suggesting killing the American Muslims. I only want to get rid of their sanctuaries. There's a lot of bad stuff happening behind those closed Mosque doors. If you don't believe that, you're a fool. Besides, I'm Catholic. If I can sneak in a confession before the deadline, I'm golden. The country's problems are not as bad as you would have us believe. Just because you disagree with the war in Iraq, doesn't mean we're going to hell in a handbasket. The economy is in good shape except that everything is more expensive. I'm dealing with it OK. The world has changed since 9/11/01 and sometimes I feel as though I'm the only one that realizes that. You cannot lay everything at the feet of the Republicans. Our two party system and their anomosity has created legislative gridlock and nothing of substance can be accomplished regardless of the party in power.
And getting more expensive, and the dollar is worth less, and the stock market is down very badly, the mortgage crisis and bailouts are costing us all, our trade imbalance grows, and Russia is starting economic warfare upon us. I think you aren't looking past you own personal situation. Just because everything's fine on SF's part of the bayou does NOT mean that the country is just fine. You should vote republican, but most of the rest of us have had enough. When you find yourself alone in your thinking it should make you ask yourself, "Could I be wrong about this?" Nor can I absolve them of the responsibilities they have failed at. Holding politicians accountable for their actions is the American Way.
Obama is intelligent and well-informed. The last president we elected with executive experience was the sitting president who has done all sorts of wrong. Obama has been our of diapers for a year or two now; it is funny how entrenched Republicans continue to repeat the mantra of the inexperienced young whipper-snapper of 40+ years. A wise man once said, "This is becoming a nation of pu$$ies," which I think applies here. You have let the terrorists win with this mindset. ...suddenly, the world has become a harsh place. We'd probably run out of world before we ran out of evil-doers. And you're a fool if you think the rest of the world will sit idly by AND extend us more credit to fund further policing of the world. We are overspending and overextending ourselves the way the Russians did in the 80s. We are doing exactly what bin Laden wanted us to do. Mosques are much less a threat to our national security than our economic situation and the excessive use of our military abroad. Tell that to people less fortunate than yourself. Times are tight for a lot of Americans while the richest folks have increased the gap between themselves and the regular working class. Republicans, starting with Bush, have led the charge in exacerbating partisanship.
I also hope the Republican party changes its ways, but the majority of blame must go to Republicans who have been in control for 8 years. The Republican party has had its way for most of those 8 years and we, as a nation, are not better of for it. It is tough to argue that if Republicans just get 4 more years, THEN we will see the fruits of our unrewarded turmoil. This seems so reminiscent of LSU football's dark period during the early 90s.
They're looking for him. I hear it's a good place to hide. The Pakistani president can't appear too friendly to the US, but he is. He's walking a thin like between being the leader of an Islamic country and his desire to support the US. As far as Osama is concerned, I believe more is being done behind the scenes. I don't think it's fine, we need to stop depending on foreign oil but Democrats insist on protecting barren tundra and don't want to trust proven technology. Democrats want to give sexual deviants the right to marry like normal people, it's not fine at all. I don't like bombing our way out of every problem, but when those problems are nuclear armed terrorists then no, I don't have a problem with it. They are getting it done, conditions will soon be met that will allow the withdrawal of US troops, violence is down. Democrats are terrified that things will get even better come election time. Even Obama says he's impressed by the improvement. I recall Democrat war hawks in 2002 who wanted this war. You still don't think the incompetent and run-down intelligence community left in place by Clinton's 8-year fiasco is responsible for the intel that got us into this war? The same intel community that couldn't foresee 09/11. Sure Bush was President at the time but you gotta be an idiot to think he or his administration fabricated any part of that. The Democrats got the same information from the same people, and they wanted the war after seeing the intel. The votes were there, it's a fact. You still don't realize that Bush is trying to leave Iraq better than we found it? Separate from why the war started, leaving Iraq in the hands of fanatics (ie Iran) is the worst option, and that's what'll happen if that fool Obama withdraws US forces before Iraq can stand on it's own. Do you believe that Iran is trying to make nuclear weapons? What do you think they're going to do with them? I guess you think asking nicely will work. Oh yea, Sec Rice just tried...
Fighting on top of the world's main source of energy will do that to economies, the Dems share responsobility for the war and our dependence on foreign oil.
Sure, and this would never happen with the Dems in control, and it never happened while Clinton was president....that's life, not conservative politics. Yea right, and Pelosi is as pure as the wind driven snow.
The whole point of white southern racists historically voting Democrat was because it was the victory of the evil Abe Lincoln and his anti-slavery Republican party that sparked the Civil War. In 2008, there will not be a single white southern racist voting for Obama (no white racist is going to vote for Obama, period). Now, as for non-racist white southerners that feel they are Democrats just because that's what they and their families have always voted for like sheep, sure I can see them voting for the Dem candidate, just like so many in the South vote Republican like sheep just because that's what all their family and friends are religious about.
