Legitimiate question for Obama supporters...

[blueinbama 259]

During this political season, it is good to be reminded of these wise words.

 

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

 

--Abraham Lincoln

Nobody's asking for a handout....but what I am asking for is AFFORDABLE health insurance and a PLAN to stimulate the economy and create jobs. Sorry, but the old "give the big corporations a tax cut, because that'll help create jobs"...is a bunch of B.S. Look at the CEO's of the big corporations, obviously the profits are going in their pockets, not towards creating more jobs...they only care about the bottom line...We NEED somebody to look out for the middle class and their interests...it's about time we have a candidate who wants to help the average person....and not the elite few... Call it what you want....you nimrods have bought into their rhetoric for years and look where it's gotten us. Nobody learned from the Reagan years of "trickle down economics"...It don't work...it's not going to work and if you think it will, you're full of crap. The focus should be on Creating opportunities for people, not lining the pockets of special interest groups. I'm sorry, but NOBODY should have to choose between their child going to the doctor or eating 3 meals per day. Nobody should have to spend so much money paying for health insurance and gasoline for their vehicles to go to work, while the fat cats in Washington ride around for free and have the best health insurance in the country at no cost to them....They are completely out of touch with average Americans and their needs to be a real CHANGE.

 

Call me a socialist or whatever you like....but when you're standing in the cheese line....don't complain to me.

And just how long ago did he say that....Abe Lincoln is dead....my man....This is 2008...the times they have a changed. There weren't 300,000,000 people in the U.S. back then either... those are great words to live by.....but ignoring the problems don't make them go away...

[Guest BEAVERTAIL]

I think this is a very legitimate point to surface, JJ. I am going to re-post a couple points from something that tbgfan posted sometime last week that, I believe, was overlooked by most people on the board. These are a few facts that were brought to the attention. You may call them "scare tactics" if you wish, but I think they just come more along the terms of reality.

 

I will provide the link below, but I'm going to incorporate the main points into my post.

http://www.tricities.com/tri/news/opinion/letters_to_the_editor/article/mccain_not_perfect_but_best_choice_now/15327/

 

1.) Through July of 2008, there have been 221 casualties stemming from the war in Iraq, while 291 murders have been committed in city of Chicago alone (19 shootings on one Friday night in April).

 

2.) Illinois currently has the highest sales tax in the nation at 10.25%.

 

3.) The city of Chicago has one of the worst rated school systems in the United States.

 

4.) Chicago holds the second highest metropolitan foreclosure rate in the nation and Illinois is ranked 12th.

 

The analogy posed in this thread about the President being our boss in the workforce is very interesting. These qualifications are lacking a little bit, in my honest opinion, and probably towards the majority of the country, too. This man wants to be our President. If you look at the four statements I provided just previous to this paragraph you will see just where exactly Barack Obama is taking these issues. McCain's tax policy is ludicrous? Well, then let's pay a 10% tax on all personal expenditures. The educational system in the United States needs a great amount of work, yet Obama is having trouble improving just one major city that rounds up to 1% of the country's population. Our nation's economic status is depreciating at this current time and the housing market can't keep its head above the water in Illinois. Barack Obama has the power to "change" all of this with one outstanding speech. This man wants to be our next President.

 

Sorry for the rant, JJ. I just remembered the tbgfan's post and thought it was sort of overlooked. I wanted to bring it back into the spotlight for a second because I thought it could be of some use again.

 

But still yet, what has Barack Obama done to prove that he is able to run our country?

 

<cricket...cricket...cricket...cricket...cricket>

 

Chicago has a 400 MILLION dollar deficit.

 

Just wanted to add that in... lol

[futbolking 766]

One other thing...I have worked as many as 4 jobs at one time to support my family...Currently, I am working 2....and up until year before last, I worked 3...It's about time somebody took a stand for the middle class. Last I checked, this was still the U.S.A. and I can vote for whoever I want. Like it or not...OBAMA is WAY ahead in the polls, so I'm in the majority and you all will just have to deal with it.... Lord knows, the rest of us have had to deal with a total moron in the whitehouse for the past 8 years.

haha I have been practicing the for the LSAT too much.

 

The problem with your argument is that you use the fact that if the majority agrees with you, then you must be right...

 

I suggest you go check your taxes on Obama's plan, my parents did, who are both teachers, in the middle class, and will have to pay more taxes. Dont believe everything you hear.

[jets 10]

they will still be blind idiots out there that will vote for him.... the god of this world has blinded their eyes.... they have eyes seeing and have not seen and ears hearing and have not heard....... forever learing but never coming to the knowledge of the truth... so the truth is if it smells like a socialist and talks like a socialist and looks like a socialist it must be a socialist

wish i was... his wife is a hottie....lol. change isnt good if its to a worse person. dont change for the worse just cause you are mislead by wise words and mans wisdom. Biden said " mark my words if we are elected we will be tested in 6 months'' he is untested now... im not Bush would you vote for me? no you wouldnt. Vote for morals for security for experience. where will this country be with a muslum pres? how will we stand with the jews? will our churches survive? or will we have to whorship in private to keep from offending someone for saying the name of JESUS?

[Popeye 32]

My question would be what job oppurtunities will be brought about(another WalMart perhaps). Under Obama's plan for health care a small buisness owner that claims less than $250,000 may be exempt from providing health care coverage to employees. I would tend to believe that a solid 60% (or better) of the employers in small town rural america are small buisness's. Can we see the falacy in this. Claim less and provide NO COVERAGE. Is that affordable? As for being a nimrod I did not vote for Bush on the second go and I am 100% certain that he is not running again. I'll vote for McCain (and stay in the minority I assume) simply because I know that (having read Obama's plan) that there is no way in hell that he can produce what he has promised. His "PLAN" was taylored to lure in the disgruntled. Its obvious that it has worked. And Futbolking name calling is certainly no way to have a discussion.

Which candidate is a "muslum"?

 

And it is funny that you, as a Christian, are worried about having your rights of freedom of religion taken away, but then you say that a "Muslum" (even though he isn't a Muslim) shouldn't be President. I'll say it again, you guys are ridiculous!! The final reason I decided to vote for Obama, just to piss close-minded people like you off when he does win.

[buzzsawBeaver 12]

You all are ridiculous.

 

Or you could actually quote any of what I wrote that's wrong and the reasons.

[buzzsawBeaver 12]

They do apply today, infact those rules are like simple math, 2 and 2 are always gonna be 4, they'll never be anything else. These people are living in a fantasy world where they expect everything to be fair and equal and they want what they want to the point that they hope for it unrealistically.

But liberal democrats are willing to overlook even the words of the "age old" constitution, so what do you expect.

[BigBlueAlum 12]

Or you could actually quote any of what I wrote that's wrong and the reasons.

 

Probably could if I had the time or desire. But whats the point? We are both right in our own minds and neither of us are going to change the others mind.

[Guest BEAVERTAIL]

Well let's just say that Senator Obama hasn't crashed numerous amounts of American planes(pre-vietnam), crashed a couple more before an aircraft carrier and saigon .. gotten captured by the enemy and then chose to stay because he was being treated like a king....McCain's dad was an Admiral and in control of the entire Pacific fleet.... Aww what a privledged brat. To think that just because he's screwed a few models and hookers with pre hooker model qualifications that he should run this country - you must be smoking the same stuff that he must have been smoking before he crashed....You should really research your candidate before you down the others.. there is definately more to J. M.'s story. He's not the white-haired hero you think he is... He is actually a screw up that has survived off of his dad's legacy and his wife's money and pre 40 yr. old looks. Remind you of someone else??? Sure it does President Bush... Little known fact - Ronnie and Nancy... Hated McCains guts for what and how he did his first wife and the way he screwed up some very simple political things. Now if there was ever a Republican that i liked it was President Reagan. He didn't trust or like him and I don't either. I see McCain as a wolf in sheep's clothing... time to get the shears out and expose him for what he is ... A FAKE... Sarah Palin??? Come on ... do you believe that woman could command respect from other world leaders... I dont think so.. The lead husky on dog sled yawns and yaps when she commands him... Think about it...Only a few days left guys please put your personal/ private/ stereotypical reasons aside and focus on the truth and the future of our country.

 

I cant stand to look at this anymore. Its Sickening.

 

ANYONE who EVER cuts down a POW for his service needs to get a reality check. As I have posted before, it is DOCUMENTED that McCain was treated worse than most POWs. HE WAS LEFT TO DIE. Why do you think he cant move his arms above his shoulders, and still can not type effectively. And he crashed 4 planes, ONLY 1 was his fault. I mentioned this earlier.

 

Smoking? You must have your candidated mixed up. Fron the Chicago suntimes "The Wednesday edition of the Washington Post ran a page one story about Obama's drug use--pot and cocaine. He wrote about it in his memoir, "Dreams of My Father," published after he finished law school...

 

Obama, on a recent visit to "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" was asked by Leno about taking drugs.

"Remember, Senator, you are under oath. Did you inhale?"

Replied Obama, "That was the point."

 

McCain is not a fake, he is a war hero, and you sir have lost all my respect by coming on here and discrediting his time. Sure, he may have graduated low in his class, but he is by no means a screw up, nor is he perfect.

 

Nancy Reagan SUPPORTS and ENDORSES John McCain.

 

What political statements did he screw up?

 

Ronald Reagan hated him? Where did you find that? His son Michael supports McCain and says his father would have done so as well...

 

How is he a fake? Come on now.

 

I know I post a lot of things about Obama, but I dont think anyone can say that I dont back it up. Just like I wont call him a muslim, I cant believe anyone can say John McCain was not a POW and a American hero and then not back it up.

 

I think you have been getting a bunch of emails lately...Truly disheartening.

A ceo's job isn't to create jobs for you or anyone else, it's to make their company as successful as possible, they "earn" a salary, based on that company's success, it has absolutely nothing to do with Bush or republicans or the political policies of the last 8 years, it's known as captiolism, and greedy or not they don't owe you people who aren't satisfied or are envious anything. Billionares and the wealthy weren't created by corruption in the last 8 years.. Did you just wake up and realize their's wealthy people in the U.S. and you think it's something new?

 

 

 

"while the fat cats in Washington ride around for free and have the best health insurance in the country at no cost to them"

 

Unless you know something I don't, democrats don't make any less or have any less benefits in washington than the republicans do, as if voting democratic makes a difference in that. They have their special interest groups to.

You're a socilaist.

 

So you've had 4 jobs at 1 time and you have 2 now, while complaining that people should create more jobs?

[buzzsawBeaver 12]

Probably could if I had the time or desire. But whats the point? We are both right in our own minds and neither of us are going to change the others mind.

 

we're not each right, whether in our own minds or not, there's a right and a wrong, and on my side there's common sense American history, the principals that America was founded and has thrived under, and a lot of world history that shows socialist societies as failures and oppressive. What's ironic is that people in the swva region for decades have had the best example of what government dependancy does to people and a region.

I'm certainly not wrong that America has been a strong country and has been the land of opportunity, and there's certainly nothing ridiculous about service men and women dying for freedom while spoiled American people want socialism being a shame.

[Popeye 32]

Got this as an e-mail today and loved it!

 

 

Barack Hussein Obama,

 

The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October 4, 2008 that proved

you had a significantly closer relationship with Bill Ayers than what you

previously admitted. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the

greater concern is that you lied to America about it.

 

The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008 that FBI records showed that you

had a significantly closer relationship with Tony Rezko than what you

previously admitted. In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr. Rezko

a couple of times a year. The FBI files showed that you saw him weekly.

While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is

that you lied to America about it.

 

Your speech in Philadelphia on March 18, 2008 about 'race' contradicted

your statement to Anderson Cooper on March 14 when you said that you never

heard Reverend Wright make his negative statements about white America .

While your attendance at Trinity Church for 20 years is of concern, the

greater concern is that you lied to America on March 14.

 

In your 1st debate with John McCain, you said that you never said that you

would meet with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea

without 'preparations' at lower levels ... Joe Biden repeated your words in

his debate with Sarah Palin ... while the video tape from your debate last

February clearly shows that you answered 'I would' to the question of

meeting with those leaders within 12 months without 'any' preconditions.

While your judgement about meeting with enemies of the USA without

pre-conditions is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to

America in the debate with McCain.

 

On July 14, 2008, you said that you always knew that the surge would work

while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you stated

that the surge would not work. While your judgement about military strategy

as a potential commander in chief is of concern, the greater concern is that

you lied to America on July 14.

 

You now claim that your reason for voting against funding for the troops

was because the bill did not include a time line for withdrawal while the

video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you voted against

additional funding because you wanted our troops to be removed immediatel y

... not in 16 months after the 2008 election as you now claim. While your

judgement about removing our troops unilaterally in 2007 is of concern, the

greater concern is that you lied to America about your previous position.

 

You claim to have a record of working with Republicans while the record

shows that the only bill that you sponsored with a Republican was with Chuck

Lugar ... and it failed. The record shows that you vote 97% in concert with

the Democrat party and that you have the most liberal voting record in the

Senate. You joined Republicans only 13% of the time in your votes and those

13% were only after agreement from the Democrat party. While it is of

concern that you fail to include conservatives in your actions and that you

are such a liberal, the greater concern is that you distorted the truth.

 

In the20 primary debates of last February, 2008, you claimed to have talked

with a 'Captain' of a platoon in Afghanistan 'the other day' when in fact

you had a discussion in 2003 with a Lieutenant who had just been deployed to

Afghanistan . You lied in that debate.

 

In your debates last spring, you claimed to have been a 'professor of

Constitutional law' when in fact you have never been a professor of

Constitutional law. In this last debate, you were careful to say that you

'taught a law class' and never mentioned being a 'professor of

Constitutional law.' You lied last spring.

 

You and Joe Biden both claimed that John McCain voted against additional

funding for our troops when the actual records show the opposite. You

distorted the truth.

 

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted against funding for

alternate energy sources 20 times when the record shows that John McCain

specifically voted against funding for bio fuels, especially corn ... and he

was right .... corn is too expensive at producing ethanol, and using corn to

make ethanol increased the price of corn from $2 a bushel to $6 a bushel for

food. You distorted the truth.

 

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted like both of you for a tax

increase on those making as little as $42,000 per year while the voting

record clearly shows that John McCain did not vote as you and Joe Biden. You

lied to America . You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted with George

W. Bush 90% of the time when you know that Democrats also vote 90% of the

time with the President (including Joe Biden) because the vast majority of

the votes are procedural. You are one of the few who has not voted 90% of

the time with the president because you have been missing from the Senate

since the day you got elected. While your absence from your job in the

Senate is of concern, the greater concern is that you spin the facts.

 

You did not take an active role in the rescue plan. You claimed that the

Senate did not need you while the real reason that you abstained was because

of your close relationships with the executives of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac,

Countrywide, and Acorn ... who all helped cause the financial problems of

today ... and they all made major contributions to your campaign. While your

relationship with these executives and your protection of them for your

brief 3 years in the Senate (along with Barney Frank, Chuch Schumer, Maxine

Waters, and Chris Dodd) is of concern, the greater concern is that you are

being deceitful.

 

You forgot to mention that you personally represented Tony Rezko and Acorn.

Tony Rezko, an Arab and close friend to you, was convicted of fraud in

Chicago real estate transactions that bilked millions of tax dollars from

the Illinois government for renovation projects that you sponsored as a

state senator ... and Acorn has been convicted of voter fraud, real estate

sub prime loan intimidation, and illegal campaign contributions. Tony Rezko

has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to your political

campaigns. You personally used your political positions to steer money to

both Tony Rezko and Acorn and you used Acorn to register thousands of phony

voters for Democrats and you. While your relationships with Rezko and Acorn

are of concern, the greater concern is that you omitted important facts

about your relationships with them to America .

 

During your campaign, you said: 'typical white person.' 'they cling to

their guns and religion.' 'they will say that I am black.' You played the

race card. You tried to label any criticism about you as racist. You divide

America .

 

You claim that you will reduce taxes for 95% of America , but you forgot to

tell America that those reductions are after you remove the Bush tax

reductions. You have requested close to $1 Billion in earmarks and several

million for Acorn. Your social programs will cost America $1 Trillion per

year and you claim that a reduction in military spending ($100 billion for

Iraq ) can pay for it. While your economic plan of adding 30% to the size of

our federal government is of concern, the greater concern is that you are

deceiving America .

 

The drain to America 's economy by foreign supplied oil is $700 Billion per

year (5% of GDP) while the war in Iraq is $100 Billion (less than 1% of

GDP). You voted against any increases to oil exploration for the last 3

years and any expansion of nuclear facilities. Yet today, you say that you

have always been for more oil and more nuclear. You are lying to America .

 

Mr. Obama, you claimed that you 'changed' your mind about public financing

for your campaign because of the money spent by Republican PACs in 2004. The

truth is that the Democrat PACs in 2004, 2006, and 2008 spent twice as much

as the Republican PACs (especially George Soros and MoveOn.org <

http://moveon.org/ ). You are lying to America .

 

Mr. Obama, you have done nothing to stop the actions of the teachers' union

and college professors in the USA . They eliminated religion from our

history. They teach pro gay agendas and discuss sex with students as young

as first grade. They bring their personal politics into the classrooms. They

disparage conservatives. They brainwash our children. They are in it for

themselves ..... not America . Are you reluctant to condemn their actions

because teachers/professors and the NEA contribute 25% of all money donated

to Democrats and none to Republicans? You are deceiving America .

 

Oh Mr. Obama, Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we

Americans should first look at the character of our leaders before anything

else.

 

Your character looks horrible. While you make good speeches, motivating

speeches, your character does not match your rhetoric. You talk the talk but

do not walk the walk.

 

1. You lied to America . You lied many times. You distorted facts. You

parsed your answers like a lawyer.

 

2. You distorted the record of John McCain in your words and in your

advertisements.

 

3. You had associations with some very bad people for your personal

political gains and then lied about those associations.

 

4. You divide America about race and about class.

 

Now let me compare your record of lies, distortions, race baiting, and

associations to John McCain: War hero. Annapolis graduate with 'Country

first.' Operational leadership experience like all 43 previously elected

presidents of the USA as a Navy Officer for 22 years. 26 years in the

Senate. Straight talk. Maverick. 54% of the time participated on bills with

Democrats. Never asked for an earmark. The only blemish on his record is his

part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years ago.

 

Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School, you learned that the end does not justify

the means. You learned that perjury, false witness, dishonesty, distortion

of truth are never tolerated. Yet, your dishonesty is overwhelming. Your

dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty that caused the

impeachment and disbarment of Bill Clinton. Your dishonesty is tremendously

greater than the dishonesty of Scooter Libby. You should be ashamed.

 

Mr. Obama, it is time for us Americans to put aside our differences on

political issues and vote against you because of your dishonest character.

It is time for all of us Americans to put aside our political issues and

vote for America first. It is time for America to vote for honesty.

 

Any people who vote for you after understanding that you are dishonest

should be ashamed of themselves for making their personal political issues

more important than character. Would these same people vote for the

anti-Christ if the anti-Christ promised them riches? Would they make a

golden calf while Moses was up the mountain? Would they hire someone for a

job if that someone lied in an interview? .... of course not. So why do some

of these people justify their votes for you even though they know you are

dishonest? Why do they excuse your dishonesty? because some of these people

are frightened about the future, the economy, and their financial security

.... and you are preying on their fears with empty promises ... and because

some (especially our young people) are consumed by your wonderful style and

promises for 'change' like the Germans who voted for Adolf Hitler in 1932.

The greed/envy by Germans in 1932 kept them from recognizing Hitler for who

he was. They loved his style. Greed and envy are keeping many Americans from

recognizing you ... your style has camouflaged your dishonesty .... but many

of us see you for who you really are ... and we will not stop exposing who

you are every day, forever if it is necessary.

 

Mr. Obama, you are dishonest. Anyone who votes for you is enabling

dishonesty.

 

Mr. Obama , America cannot trust that you will put America first in your

decisions about the future.

 

Mr. Obama, you are not the 'change' that America deserves. We cannot trust

you.

 

Mr. Obama, You are not ready and not fit to be commander in chief.

 

Mr. Obama, John McCain does not have as much money as your campaign to

refute all of your false statements. And for whatever reasons, the

mainstream media will not give adequate coverage or research about your

lies, distortions, word parsing, bad associations, race bating, lack of

operational leadership experience, and general dishonest character. The

media is diverting our attention to your relationships and ignoring the fact

that you lied about those relationships. The fact that you lied is much more

important than the relationships themselves .... just like with Bill Clinton

and Richard Nixon ... Monica Lewinski and Watergate were not nearly as bad

as the fact that those gentlemen lied about the events ... false witness ...

perjury ... your relationships and bad judgements are bad on their own ....

but your lies are even worse.

 

Therefore, by copy of this memo, all who read this memo are asked to send

it to everyone else in America before it is too late. We need to do the job

that the media will not do. We need to expose your dishonesty so that every

person in America understands who you really are before election day.

 

Mr. Obama, in a democracy, we get what we deserve. And God help America if

we deserve you.
