Wish I Had Something to Say........

Posted by James at 9:49 AM

Haven't had anything of legitimate worth to say for a while.

Politics has become downright annoying.......everywhere I look, listen and feel; It is unavoidable. I'm in Obamaville FL, so it is really annoying. Got accused of being a racist the other day by a student.....apparently, I need to vote for Obama to avoid the name calling. Interesting how her only method of convincing me to vote for Obama was that we can't have another Republican in the White House.....she got annoyed with me when I asked her what Obama would do to make things better--I was willing to listen to her reasoning.

I guess that's what's bothering me the most.....ignorance. People don't know why they're Democrat around here.......they just know they don't like Bush.

I'm annoyed that the campaigns have literally spent over a billion dollars this year.......pretty sickening considering the financial mess we find ourselves in. I have a proposal for campaign finance reform--here it is:
Politicians aren't allowed to raise money. Let grassroots, responsible media, and the candidate's merits, hard work, and vision be what fuels a campaign. Not likely, right?

Obama's campaign ads are aired more frequently (8:1) than McCain's here in FL...........it feels more like 10:1 odds. Is that how we base who should be the next president? The man who has the most commercials? Commercials that, I might add, are non-substantial, barely factual (if not outright lies), and downright manipulative. Mr. Powell has said that he is switching teams because of McCain's campaign strategy.......is he listening to the same crap I'm listening to? Does anyone really think that Obama has run a clean campaign? The double standard is astounding.

I was willing to give Palin a chance, but she is just a horrible pick for VP. McCain should be ashamed of himself. Either he didn't do enough research on her, or he thought Americans were just as dumb as I think they are.......unfortunately/fortunately, the media has exposed her as a weak candidate--at best.
When most people get their news from SNL, Colbert, and Stewart, it sure doesn't help McCain's cause having a clown as his running mate.

Obama is going to be our next president........we're just going to have to get used to the idea. I don't even think the votes will be close. I think it will be landslide victory.

.........And I'm scared to death........but at the same time, if McCain/Palin is the best the Republican party can come up with--they deserve to lose.......if anything, to learn from their mistakes and be more careful and less anti-Mormon in the future. Our country needs the Republican party.....it may be our last stand against socialism.

    James,

    I share your sentiments almost to a tee. The only exception I take is about Palin. Though I agree she is wet behind the ears and somewhat nieve, as far as energizing the Republican party to this point she has done a good job.

    In agreement though, that isn't enough to solidify them as a ticket. I must admit it was an entertaining prospect at best.

    Hopefully this piece of crap potential administration of Obama and Biden will give way to a Romney or something, like Carter did to Reagan. I am not directly comparing Romney to Reagan. I am just saying that there are some very dramatic differences in what a Democratic and very liberal administration will do as opposed to a very Conservative and well-rounded Romney administration. As was the case with Carter and Reagan.

    Staff as long as we keep the faith we will have the last laugh...

    Hi guys...its been a while. I am so frustrated with the liberal media I can barely watch or listen to it anymore. The thing that really frustrates me is that it doesn't matter what they find about Obama, even if the press were to report it. It wouldn't change anyone's opinion. They will still vote for him. Have you heard about the LA times holding and refusing to release a video of Obama singing the praises of Khalid Rashidi? I just have a question for all the democrats out there...is there ANYTHING he could do that would cause you to question your support of him?

    Also, the Palin thing. Have you listened to Biden??? If Palin had said to mark her words there will be a serious terrorist attack if McCain is president...people might I don't know...freak out about it. Biden, however gets away with it. He actually warned that there would be a terrorist attack if we elected Obama. Sure makes me feel safe. I heard the audio on that one.

    I'm tired of the media...and honestly almost every democrat I know, talking about how stupid republicans are. I have heard it from almost every democrat I know for more years than I care to count. I want you to try to name ANY republican president or vice president who has not been condemned as stupid by the democrats? Good luck. Could it be that the major democrat smear tactic is..."Well, you are just a dummy...you dummy!!!" What makes the democrats so much smarter...I thought I was quite the scholar back in college, but now I am beginning to wonder if democrats corner the market on intelligence. I think we all better switch sides or be prepared to be called brainless idiots.

    Sorry, just a few rantings on my part. I have people I absolutely love who are democrat and frankly, politics are one of the only spots where we disagree.

    One thing that is great about Josh is that he has all of these conservative friends and can argue...but never calls us stupid to our faces, or, I believe, behind our backs. I appreciate it.
