It’s Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Darth Maul. Other than that, good post.

Except the 1972 part.

The problem is Obama doesn’t have anything but hope he wins the election.

People can’t seriously think they should turn the country over to someone so inexperienced?

This is beyond stupid.

I think it’s too early to throw the dirt on top of Hillary. This is the Clinton team after all, and they won’t go down without a nasty, drag down fight.

Barack Obama is the master of Hope-A-Dope

Brilliant!

I saw a dear friend, educated and kind, pull out an Obamba button the other night and proudly pin it to his lapel. It struck me that the move was a form of self-congratulations, and that he would probably sell off his children for another taste of the feeling. It is as dreadful a spectacle as one can see.

Krauthammer is recognized by most everyone inside and outside of Washington as a brilliant writer and thinker. I’m sure you are aware he is in a wheelchair and his halting speech is due to his condition.

He will lose big in the electoral college. The discrepancy in numbers is the results of Republicans crossing over to vote against Hilary.

However, I just don’t see too many Republican moderates and conservatives or independents falling for Obama’s schtick, getting caught up in the very wonderfulness of his being and voting for him.

In the 48% to 48% world we live in, you have to wonder about the mental makeup of the last 4%.

This is beyond stupid.

Given what Ms. Pelosi, et al, have done in the past day or so, and the lack of outrage, the election of Osama/Obama wouldn't surprise me in the least.

God, help us! (Please?)

......Folks need to read about Obama.....
har...... that implies people read. Reading implies some mental effort

The over stressed under hydrated women of America do neither.

The Audacity of selling hope is topped only by the audacity of selling change.

He thinks America will elect a Black Muslim socialist who is the most liberal senator in America, with nine months of scrutiny in front of him? I don’t.Anyone who thinks there won’t be scrutiny is fooling himself. The ratmedia won’t do it, but it will be done around the water cooler at the plant. When it is done among people face to face, it won’t go well for the empty man.

"If you like sorta PC moderate conservatism that goes by the name of the N-word"

If you keep this up in making subtle references, they'll take "N" out of the alphabet and we'll be unable to say No, Not him and Never in a million years.

The Clinton machine will stop at nothing to steal the nomination.
I’m hoping for lots of angry Obama supporters, crossing over to vote for McCain, whom they may view as acceptable, given all of the conservatives continued displeasure.

Romney as VP and ....who knows?

I like the fake Obama commercial which Rush has been running that has these spaced out sounding supporters saying nonsense like, "I support Obama because he is for hope and hope is so... like...hopeful.... I support Obama because he is for the future, and the future need hope because it's not the right now.

Eventually, Obama is going to HAVE to come out with something more concrete than being for "Hope" and the "Future"...

That’s a real shame that they are voting Elmer Gantry in all for the sake of who’s electable and PR.

I wonder if people actually know this guy has nothing to offer except being a front.

Folks, they have done it again. Pulled the hats right down over those non hearing and non seeing fools. It makes you wonder how these people actually made it to adulthood. First Carter; then Clinton and now Obama. One ray of sunshine though is the libs have now struck out being Obama is their third strike and there ain’t no more. Whether they believe it or not; they have sounded the death knell for their party by electing one of the worst candidates ever. Watch, you will see. It may not look like it; but it is. They can spend millions and millions and promote and promote and agitate America; but in reality they have lost and can’t do anything about it.
