Hussein is still a sneaky Marxist.
________________
The word “sneaky” was the word I’ve been looking for to explain a surprising development when Soledad O’Brien questioned the CNN focus group. They rated Obama higher in most all fields and better responses during the debate, but when asked who they would vote for 14 would vote McCain and 11 for Obama.
The MSM may be missing a subtle but powerful distinction that is quietly working on the electorate. Obama is a celebrity, but may be too polished leaving an aftertaste of sneakiness in the mouths of the viewers, not transparency. McCain is worn, but leaves and aftertaste of tested, transparent, in other words, not sneaky.
Watching was at least tolerable, but when McCain started throwing his buddies, Leiberman & Kennedy into the mix - it got almost unbearable..
The housing bailout sent a tingle down my leg!!!
Absolutely Principles matter. Which is not to say that doing the work of the people is anything less of a principle!
You forget, the view doesn’t look the same from the “other side.” (ie. mr. o’s associates.)
That alone reveals true heart of the man, he DOESN’T AND CANNOT FEEL THE SAME ABOUT IT.
A SOUL FOR AMERICA IS LACKING!!!
Was it a win? No. I think you can see by the reaction on here that a lot in the base were disappointed. Was it a loss? Not really in the sense that I don’t think Obama did any better and don’t think he will gain any momentum. In the sense that McCain missed a huge opportunity to reverse recent trends then I guess it is a little loss. The Obama camp is probably fine with the idea of just holding serve. Heaven knows though that BHO left himself open to attack a lot of times and for whatever reason McCain didn’t nail him.
And they are panicking.
Their ears are RIPE for cult like talk.
Down and outers are most susceptible to charismatic cult type figures, either in religion (Jim Jones/Koresh), politics (Hitler), or other (Manson).
The unfortunate, cold, TRUTH of the matter in 2008 is that the People do not want a President, they want a SAVIOUR.
This is the mentality of millions of Americans. They are ripe for it. These times in history occur from time to time. We are in one of them right now. Not much can be done to stop it.
You are so right on!
Glad to read your post. For a minute there I thought I was on a DU forum!
They couldn’t instigate a violent overthrow of the US....but could use our own laws to destroy it. Obama’s thoughts, plans and inspiration doesn’t come from this country. The shadow of Obama is dangerous...
Well, that’s kinda pathetic because we haven’t even begun to see “hard times” yet...
I agree with you 100%. Obambi peaked too early and the Ayers stuff is just starting in earnest...I think it will be fine, just watch and see.
“
That format was terrible. There was no energy. There was no way for either guy to get into a rhythm, unless they wanted to get scolded by Tom Brokaw.”
It stunk. Neither could engage each other in a real debate. This was a soundbite contest. McCain is much better in a debate than he is in a soundbite contest. He just isn’t a great soundbite guy. Barrack’s whole game is being king of the nice sounding but empty soundbite. He is not as good when it comes to having to defend himself and think quickly. Because of a combination of format and McCain not being aggressive, he didn’t have to do much defending.
The last question of the debate was idiotic. What don’t know and how do you find out? McCain should have answered, I don’t know where Obama’s birth certificate is. I’ll just ask him right now.
McCain showed us he’s a socialist. We already knew Obama was. McCain’s just less so. I’m not voting for either.
Love it! Great answer, and I wish he would have used that!!!!!!
Format, MSM moderator, MSM question selection, were puposeful to keep O in “safe-zone” and M’s new topics out of play.
They KNEW WHERE M WAS LIKELY TO HEAD, BAD FOR MSM PRETTY BOY.
We are way beyond that point. Those people already lost there homes. Now facing foreclosure are small business people whose business has dried up, few who were irresponsible when they bought a home, just no business now.
What you may be funding with your tax dollars soon is soup lines. It is a very, very serious situation out there now. I've seen three friends lose their businesses, all conservative and very hard working. They are all facing losing their homes.
Wake up!
Dumb move, if you have any inkling of fighting MARXISM of LEFT AND Obambi for the country as a whole.
OR maybe you’d just like to kiss your free A## goodbye now.
Non-committals who think their pious on “principle,” make me sick.
“I am not paying for people who make bad mortgage decisions!
two hours later and nothing has changed. my sentiments exactly. “
McCain is stuck on stupid.
House wife #2 agrees with you 100%
