What else is new? Socialists, Communists, and Tyrants always exploit the disadvantaged to their own ends.

The author is just “staff writer?” Why the anonymity? Maybe because if he lists his actual name, his inbox will instantly become deluged with requests for where to buy that awesome crack he’s smoking?

McCain needs to start talking creativity, entrepreneurship, social capital, social entrepreneurship, community, etc, etc, etc. It’s like he is stuck in the past. There is so much opportunity to leverage technology to structure society so it’s more tuned to conservative values but they’re not even engaging in that sphere. Obama is kicking there ass there. They need to stop calling him an empty suit and reverse engineer and refactor his policies so that the same outcomes can be gotten out of the private sphere.

“We’re getting a great response in rural communities that have been ignored by Washington and left behind in the Bush economy.”

I, for one, am greatly RELIEVED that Washington has basically “left me alone” and “ignored” me for the past eight years. President Bush’s tax cuts have put thousands of dollars back into my pocketbook and out of the hands of Government, not to mention two awesome SCOTUS appointments. :)

Same here. ;-)

My soon-to-be 15 year old daughter fired a gun for the first time today. It was just a little .22 but her words to describe it: “cool!” and “sweet! No recoil!”

She doesn’t sound bitter to me.

Probably because he’s such a blatant Obama plant that his name would be instantly recognizable.

As if. As if red state residents will be fooled into thinking things would be BETTER under Osama van Krushev than under Juan McCain. No, they’ll hold their noses and vote for McCain. Or not, and vote 3rd party, allowing Osama to win. But no, they won’t pull the lever for Osama. NOT going to happen.

Most of the people out here are ranchers and farmers, and they all say they’re going for McCain. This is the Left Coast, Barack Hussein Obama has no chance of winning the rural hick vote anywhere.

He’ll do well in San Francisco, though.

Thing is, Osama is going to win because a lot of furious conservatives are going to sit out the election or write in Ron Paul or some other jackass who has NO chance to beat Osama, instead of just wrinkling up the nose, biting a bullet and somehow forcing themselves to vote for Juan McCain, like I am going to FORCE myself to do.

Won’t matter. Osama is a lock due to all the conservatives who refuse to vote for McCain. A lock. No libbies are going to vote for McCain. He was just selected by the DNC to hedge their bet incase someone with an “R” behind their name happened to win.

Heads, they win. Tails, they don’t lose. What a scam. And it is all planned in advance, just like Michael Savage says it is. 4 years of Bush. 8 years of Clinton. 8 years of Bush. 8 more years of Clinton, or in this case, Osama. The beat goes on and we get screwed.

“Indeed, many of her friends have told her they’re either not voting for Obama or are staying home. “They just won’t vote for him because he’s black,” Dettloff said.”

How long did it take to find someone to say this?

America is so screwed.

What if we just declare the Oval Office vacant for the next four years, until this blame thing gets sorted out?

It is NOT the job of the government to create jobs, but rather provide for an environment conducive to the private sector creating the jobs, i.e. less regulation and taxation. THAT is how jobs are created.

This conservative is voting for McCain. I’ve got some heavy-duty clothespins at my disposal.

Michael Savage, really? I haven’t listened to that dude since 2002. He’s off his rocker.

She's voting for Obama in November because "I think he's nice and I think he's sincere in what he says."

Pay no attention to his "sincere" desire to raise your taxes, weaken the nation's defense, spend you into poverty and provide wretched, untimely but "free" health care for all. It's the "nice" and "sincere" that count.

Yes. I did. McCain cleaned Obama’s clock.

Yes he did. I have not been enthusiastic about McCain, but I must say I was very impressed with him last night and feel much more comfortable voting for him now. He has so much life experience that Nobama will never have and it showed. It was a great forum. My pastor, who I have never heard say anything political from the pulpit, this morning told the congregation that if they got a chance to watch a re-broadcast, that they should as it was very informative and unbiased, which you don’t get in the “debates”. He didn’t say anything else and he has never told anyone how to vote. My guess is he was impressed with McCain as well.
