Do not forget to wear your flip flops!

Are we being tongue in cheek or literal, Neoconguy?

Tongue-in-cheek, of course.  Flip-flops are mandatory at McBush events, though.  The candidate goes through a pair of flip-flops a week.

You're killin' me, Randomfactor! It's too early in the morning for me to laugh so hard. I will definately wear my flip-flops all during this upcoming election period! Hmmm, since I am considered a very conservative democrat (think living for ten years in Kansas and being a part of Democrats Against Abortion...) I guess I have the flip-flop down to an art form... But ask me tommorrow and I'll probably deny it and tell you something else anyways.

No smoking, hand bags, personal items, or U.S. flag lapel pins.

Ribs and chicken a must  I love them BBQ

Give each a turbin (make him feel @ home)     dont 4 get to invite Bro Wright

Show him on the map where the USA is

Don't invite Hillary and if you do don't give her any sharpe make sure she is never behind him

Please find out where the other 7 states are  he said 57

Tell him Ron won't be coming

Ron, if they'd hold it at Tehachapi there'd be all the turbines you could ask for.

.

Countering Obama's boast, McBush has promised to campaign in all 48 states, and in the Alaska and Hawaii territories as well. 

BTW

How much money does Obama need to grind McCain into the ground?  When is enough, enough?

I love the candidates' faux pas.

That being said, the last time you (any of you commenting) were speaking in front of hundreds of people in a fully televised/media-trodden venue, were you able to keep from mixing up a term or idea or two? How about while doing it seven days a week and on little sleep, all the while being up and smiling?

Ah, so this is what it feels to be a member of a minority... ie. a democrate in a republican forthold. <smile>

Turbins, turbines, energy. I see the connection, being so politically incorrect and all that <smile, again>

They (Obama's campaign fund managers) could send all the extra money to all the social programs Obama will want to put in place should he make it to the oval office.   Or feed the starving children.  Ah well, they're gonna pick your pocket either way.

locator: when you said Conservative Democrat   I had my LAUGH 4 the day     never heard of this type

Ron

Allred= all red states    Very Conservative

"No... U.S. flag lapel pins."

   What ever you say there chief...

"They (Obama's campaign fund managers) could send all the extra money to all the social programs Obama will want to put in place should he make it to the oval office. "

Actually we'll need that extra money to pay off the trillions of dollars of debt that Bush and your beloved republican party has put us in.

Allred's going to be considerably blue in November.

.

Random's response will be:

They have to pay Hillary's campaign expenses off. 

Your predictive skills were off there.  My broadband went down when I tried to post that a good point where "enough is enough" would be when we've got as much money to spend as the Republicans will throw at us.  We're not there yet by a considerable margin.  And the 50-state strategy is going to require a large investment--but could pay off tremendously.

Clinton was a viable candidate who picked the wrong campaign staff. 

Most of us are so excited about both candidates

But the best of two evils in this case    Mc Cain

I laughed when both Hillary and Obameeeeeeeeeeee were chosen by you people   I see we are close to becoming a 3 rate nation     We will only survive if Russia and China decide they need us for food

If they believe they can destroy us without Nuclear then our days on Earth are gone

I can Guarantee you only those that are able to do field work will servive

They will not feed those with no field experience     Teachers, Gays,  Liberals, Animals all breeds and all kinds will be eaten or destroyed

Camps will be set up    All Freedoms lost    Cable, Internet, Schools,  Driving, Resturants, Vacations

No pay checks     no earnings and very little food

Please STOP and think about who you vote for

Ron

Nancy.  If HE gets elected you can quit work, go on welfare and enjoy a higher standard of living.  Just take advantage of ALL the give away programs HE has proposed.  On second thought I don't know if anyone will be able to afford to work.

Actually, both Obama and McCain are unfit for the presidency. The way things are, they've both got to be out of their minds to even want the job.

Audrey, if you're that unhappy, just don't vote. Please. The rest of us are trying to fix this mess. Don't add to it.

Spam code: FUQHP

Heh.

Audrey @ least we are still FREE     That will not be the case with OBAMEEEEEEEE

As Random says Mc Bush    yes a Bush Boy but @ least FREEDOM

Ron

We would have been free in any case.  Bush/Gore or Bush/Kerry

The difference is, we would have had  a lot more cash in our pockets and a few thousand more service men and women still alive.  And we would still have the respect of other world nations.

Bush is an idiot.  If you can't see  that, you just haven't been paying enough attention the last 8 years.

Audrey, I could live with any of those three choices.  I'll be voting for Obama.

.

After seven+ years of Bush, Osama bin Laden still has his freedom.  Ours has been seriously diminished.

 Random:  Do you believe everything the talking heads on MSNBC tell you?

Nope.  But Clinton's campaign managers expected to wrap things up on Super Tuesday.  Obama's were in for a long strategy.  Obama's bet paid off, Clinton's didn't. 

Audrey not one dead soldier  was Drafted  they all volunteered

Defeating an Enemy in another country and saving Israel from Saddam    (Priceless)

The best Employment EVER    The best Economy EVER

The Housing Bust   not Bush fault     The Oil Crisis not Bush Fault   

LIBERALS BLAMEING BUSH       SATAN'S DOING

Destroy this Nation and Satan has control of the World   till His time comes to an end

I know here we go again about religlion     But God and Satan are @ war     we are here till our time has come  expired  and yes it could be this election

Ron

If Clinton had run the campaign Obama did, she'd be the nominee today and the President next January. 

.

Will things change?  Don't know.  I *DO* they'll get worse with McBush's "stay the course" mentality.

Audrey not one dead soldier  was Drafted  they all volunteered

And they were shafted by their government, whose promises they trusted.

Satan doesn't even exist right

No I wouldn't blame Clinton if in office

Blame Congress you voted them in Feinstien and the other Woman the short mouth one  Harry Reid and all the Democrats    Don't blame Bush blame Congress

Hell the Negro's have voted Democrat all their lives and keep blaming the Republican's    Congress has been more Democrat than Republican since Roosevelt  and where are they ?   Still in poor Houses looking for a way out  Dem's have made these people so dependent on Goverment they might not find a way out

My husband is in the military by choice. None of our military is being shafted by their government. Freedom is never free. Sounds like a simple caveat without consideration of all the ramifications of that thinking, but its true.

It's o.k. My husband is willing to die so you can say whatever you want about whatever you want. And I am willing to sacrifice him for the cause. America is and always will be the greatest nation on earth. No matter which way the election goes, America will be the strongest and best nation on earth.

<music breaks out in the Joyous household, flags start waving, eyes start tearing> G-d bless the USA. I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men (and women) who died, who gave that right to me. And I'd gladly stand up, next to you, and defend her still today. Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land... G-d bless the USA. www.youtube.com/watch

I don't know one person in this country that can't leave if they wish   I know alot that want in    and I know alot that said they would leave if Bush Won   guess what they didn't

I will be voting for Obama (at least Obama isn't in bed with telecoms lobbyist), but I have suspended donations pending Obamas vote on the telecoms immunity provision of FISA, so I'll have to skip the BBQ, have a good time.   Allred, you embarrass me, as a Christian, when you make your baseless claims while invoking God's name, just who would Jesus kill and torture, to control  oil fields?

 None of our military is being shafted by their government.

Sorry, but that's not true.  They were sent under false pretenses to fight the wrong war.  They were not supported properly (e.g., up-armored vehicles).  They were vicims of a lack of post-invasion strategy.  They've been killed by faulty electrical wiring in *SHOWERS*, for crying out loud, done by overpaid, war-profiteering contractors.  They've been forced to take Iraqi criticism and anger for what out-of-control mercenaries have done.  They've had their tours extended two and three times.  They've not been given proper rest.  Some of them have been sent back with injuries still healing.  Some of them have been billed for equipment blown off their bodies by IED's.  They've been denied the same sort of benefits (until recently, grudgingly) that those who fought earlier wars enjoyed. 

And this one's more surface than substance, but I don't believe Bush has attended a single funeral.  Instead, he gave up golf.

Locator thank you for that

But why Vote for Obama   you will be getting another Clinton and our Army will be weaken again and our Nation

Ron

Ps what happens if your Hubby is still in the service and Obama is elected and he has no equipment to do his job ? Or they are all called home and the World is taken over by those your Hubby is fighting now ?

Ron

I just got off the phone with Satan, and he told me that he never calls Audrey.

Those deviled eggs sound good. Food tempts me; I went to hear Kathleen Brown speak in San Diego in 1994 at Democrat headquarters. Man, did I scarf down the doughnuts. Great coffee, too!

Montfred, what did that telecoms lobbyist look like?

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

But why Vote for Obama   you will be getting another Clinton and our Army will be weaken again and our Nation 

Clinton's army did a pretty good job in Afghanistan and Iraq until Bush screwed it up.

With all the money Obamalama has raised and you folks STILL want to donate to him?  Why?  To what purpose?  To prove your loyatly?  Your support?  He'll laugh all the way to the bank with your hard earned dollars and won't even know your name.

I'm still of the mind that each candidate should be given a set amount of money and not a dollar more.  They should never be allowed to take donations from special interest groups or even the common man.  If they can't run a campaign on what they get, that's on them.

It would be interesting to see what they could do on their own merits and not by what they can buy.  Name your own cause, the war, medical care, poverty, whatever...but give that surpus money to THEM and not to politicians who poof it away on media coverage or any of the other outrageous campaign spending.  Lets see who is truly fiscally concious when it comes to cutting back on spending.  We already KNOW who is spending the most.

Just a 'figure of speech' JBS, just a 'figure of speech', in a metaphorical sense, (I was implying that he has benefited from that group of lobbyist), I was not implying that he ever 'had sex with that women'.

 I'm still of the mind that each candidate should be given a set amount of money and not a dollar more" 

I've never understood why taxpayer money should be spent on anyones campaign, I've always felt that "If they can't run a campaign on what they get, that's on them."

 Why?  To what purpose? 

To match or if possible exceed the money the lobbyists are giving McBush and the RNC, as well as the 527's trying to skirt the campaign financing law...what was the name of that law again?  Mc-something/Feingold.  McCain/Feingold, that's it.

They should never be allowed to take donations from special interest groups or even the common man. 

I think they should be able to take, up to a set limit, money from anyone with a valid Social Security Number, and no one else.

  Lets see who is truly fiscally concious when it comes to cutting back on spending.

Let's see who supports spending a billion dollars every three days in Iraq with no end.

Allred Ron, you take the terms 'denial' and 'delusion' to new heights.

I'd trade the Clinton years for the Bush-league/Bush-whacked years any day.

And Audrey, if Hillary were the nominee, I'd vote for her. Vote for anybody but McCain, please. I don't want the election to be even close.

RF, I think it's also important that the money that is coming from individuals actually come from the individual donating. I heard a recent story about a primary candidate (that shall remain nameless) that got quite large donations from people that had minimum wage incomes with no reasonable way to earn such large amounts. It's too easy to use surrogate donations to skirt the rules.

There are, indeed, ways to skirt it.  They should be prosecutable, and should be prosecuted.

These are taken from the Obama '08 website: http://www.barackobama.com/...

Bring Our Troops Home: Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.

Press Iraq's leaders to reconcile: The best way to press Iraq's leaders to take responsibility for their future is to make it clear that we are leaving. As we remove our troops, Obama will engage representatives from all levels of Iraqi society – in and out of government – to seek a new accord on Iraq's Constitution and governance. The United Nations will play a central role in this convention, which should not adjourn until a new national accord is reached addressing tough questions like federalism and oil revenue-sharing.

Ensure a Strong U.S.-Israel Partnership: Barack Obama strongly supports the U.S.-Israel relationship, believes that our first and incontrovertible commitment in the Middle East must be to the security of Israel, America's strongest ally in the Middle East. Obama supports this closeness, stating that that the United States would never distance itself from Israel.

Stop the Genocide in Darfur: Barack Obama has been a leading voice urging the Bush Administration to take stronger steps to end the genocide in Sudan. He worked with Senator Sam Brownback (R-KS) to pass the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act. Obama has traveled to the United Nations to meet with Sudanese officials and visited refugee camps on the Chad-Sudan border to raise international awareness of the ongoing humanitarian disaster there. He also worked with Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) to secure $20 million for the African Union peacekeeping mission. Obama believes the United States needs to lead the world in ending this genocide, including by imposing much tougher sanctions that target Sudan?s oil revenue, implementing and helping to enforce a no-fly zone, and engaging in more intense, effective diplomacy to develop a political roadmap to peace. The international community must, over the Sudanese regime's protests, deploy a large, capable UN-led and UN-funded force with a robust enforcement mandate to stop the killings.

End the Conflict in Congo: An estimated 3.9 million people have died from war-related causes since the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo began. Barack Obama wrote and passed legislation to promote stability in the Congo. Obama revamped U.S. policy in the Congo to include a commitment to help rebuild the country, develop lasting political structures, hold accountable destabilizing foreign governments, crack down on corrupt politicians, and professionalize the military. The bill also authorizes $52 million in U.S. assistance for the Congo.

Audrey, I don't know if it will ever happen as it doesn't allow room for the very thing that PP brought up.

One can only hope though since it would stop a lot of shenanigans on both sides.

Reading something from Obamasolonga's website is like reading a Mothers Goose story.  You don't really believe he will immediately start pulling out of Iraq do you?

United Nation involvement.  ROFLMAO.

Oh..I can't go on.  This is too funny.

Nancy, the last time the UN got involved in a local country's crisis it turned out pretty well.  Of course, Bush wasn't in office then.

The UN is and has been a joke for a long time.

Especially when our recent representative despises the organization and only tried to undermine everything they want to accomplish. The organization shouldn't be a joke, it should be taken seriously by the US. Maybe it's because they didn't believe Bush and Co. when they were crying wolf with Iraq.
