The question is, after losing to Obama, will Hillary allow him to win the White House?
Or will she destroy him, thinking McCain to be a more beatable, one term President?
LLS
Interesting thing about young people. Just had a conversation with a young women in my command. She is 21. She held the door open for me and I said thank you. She quiped “equal rights and all”. I said yes that is what you guys want. She said yes that is why there is a women running for President. She then said, “But it will probably be Obama”. I said, “God help us all.” She sorta laughed and I said, “But we will probably end up with Grandpa.” She said, “I sorta want him to win, but I don’t think he is in it anymore only Clinton-Obama.” lol. I thought that was really funny, but sad too.
Its only a non issue because it really hasn't been raised.
Picture a 527 going something like this "Barack Hussein Obama was born to a Muslim father who enrolled him in the local madrassa at a young age. Barack Hussein Obama knows how our enemies think and would change the way the Middle East looks at us. America needs a new face in '08. Vote Barack Hussein Obama."
Hey you could even throw in some footage of McCain in a POW camp and maybe even a quote from McCain using the word "gook".
That kind of ad would sink Obama.
And they stay home in droves...
smoking that bong, playing the XBox/Wii is more important than voting, donchaknow.
Raise the voting age,
or, require them to be property owners (again),
or, require them to be net tax payers.
One huge advantage McCain has over Obama is that he actually has been an agent of change...I don’t like what he’s done with campaign finance reform, the gang of 14 and what he almost got done on immigration, but the simple fact of the matter is that while Obama has spent part of one term in the Senate making speeches and cashing checks from Rezko, McCain actuallly has worked against the grain of his own party to move his agenda forward...he’s actually DONE something. He’s been the guy who puts party politics aside for the “good of the country”
Hillary! can’t say that...Obama certainly can’t say that...McCain can. When you look at the difficulty Obama’s toady had when MSNBC’s Chris Matthews pressed him for ONE accomplishment in Obama’s entire political life...I would be very hesitant to sell McCain’s history as a general pain in the ass short.
I take solace in the fact that young people usually do not vote. The media has championed them every election cycle for the democrats, yet they can always be found doing something else on election day.
My fellow Americans.
As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for their... well, support.
Your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor’s relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change.
I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush’s youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.
I would also like to thank the Kennedy’s for coming out in support of me. There’s a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy killed a teenage girl. And I’m not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively.
And I’d like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.
Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement, but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt.
I say things that sound meaningful, but don’t really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.
Americans are tired of thinking.
It’s time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart.
So when you go to vote in the primaries, remember don’t think, just do.
And do it for me.
Thank You,
“O”
Oh, please!
I not only paid taxes for 50 years for my paltry SS, I also pay for Medicare, my supplemental insurance and mandatory Part D, even though I paid taxes for some of those or paid for them out-of-pocket for 50 years as well( and take no medications at all). Since I am still working, I am still paying full taxes for SS and Medicare (”self-employment tax”) and if I make over the limit, I will lose my SS and because I am forced to be on Medicare after 65, I will still have to pay for that and for Part D.
We geezers do not care about free college, tax credits for children, tax credits for mortgage interest, or *free* health insurance. Those are the issues of the 40 and under group. The people I know who are my age care about security, property rights,low taxes and the stability of our savings.
If you guys bothered to notice anyone who wasn’t *hot* or perhaps competition, you might have been aware that those of us old enough to be your parents and grandparents still exist.
I am beyond tired of this endless snarking about anyone older than 40. We are living longer productive lives. You will live even longer and be even more productive, thanks to the technologies many geezers helped develop and maintain. We pay taxes. We contribute to the GDP, the community and to the bank accounts of our younger descendants. We will leave behind an inheritance, as well, if the socialist Young Adults allow it. You could at least have a little respect and the maturity to realize that one day, sooner than you think, you will hit that magic age of 65. It would be wise of you to inculcate some appreciation for age among your own children. From what I can see in the youth of today, you will need that appreciation. They may be willing to deprive you of a voice even more than you are willing to do to your elders.
Barack Obama and News Media Hide His Middle Name
December 05, 2006 12:03 AM ESTby Jim Kouri - From Erick at Redstate.com comes this tidbit about liberal superstar Sen. Barack Obama. It says more about the media than about Sen. Obama:
"During 2006, we were treated to the bizarre need for Democrats to refer to Senator George Allen as "George Felix Allen" to highlight his Jewish heritage. Apparently, the left can't abide jewish heritage in Republican Senate candidates and they felt the need to run huge profiles in the Washington Post about George Allen the Jew a/k/a Senator Allen.
But, while the left had this fascination with Senator Allen's middle initial, don't you dare discuss what the "H" is in Barack H. Obama. It will send Maureen Dowd into fits of apoplexy. CAIR will call for martyrdom operations against you. Braless Berkeley grads will accuse you of being a Zionist plant. Because to mention that the "H" stands for "Hussein" is fear mongering.
In a Washington Post editorial during January, 2007 the question of his middle-name was put to rest. They wrote that anyone who used his middle-name was a racist. Case closed. That's why I refer to Obama as B?O.
Hey, friend, I’m 57, not some under-40 kid. And I’m here to tell you that the vast majority of those I know over age 65, men and women alike, want to be taken care of, and if they have to vote themselves that largesse then that’s what they will do.
I am active in the American legion, and almost every member over the age of 70 in our post and others I’ve been associated with brags about how little they paid into SS in comparison with how much they get from it. They are all the time talking about benefits, entitlements, etc., and they all say they deserve it.
So, I stand by my argument that the majority of seniors vote to get more entitlements.
Young yes, adults no, maybe selfish little brats that have not grown up in a comfortable world.
Sorry but this writer is completely junior varsity. The reasoning is shallow and presumptive in regards to demographics of who votes. I don’t have the energy to break down the confusion this writer seems to have in regards to trying to sound objective but consistently off-setting those attempts with inappropriate “giggles of euphoria” if you will.
If Obama actually gets the “young adult vote” he will be the first to actually get them to go to the polls on election day. This being said, it is a huge indictment of our national education system and confirms that our schools are being run by Marxists.
Freedom is on its way to the curb unless we get this turned around.
The attacks on "geezers" so as to argue against voting for "the geezer" will piss off alot of "geezers" and they will mostly end up voting for "the geezer."
Uhhhh...explain.
