Was empty suit available for Obama?

dswilli   July 7th, 2008 - 12:55 pm

I guess Marxist, or Socialist were disallowed for BHO.

libsukbad   July 7th, 2008 - 1:27 pm

So was Muslim taken out? angry, bitter wife? poor judgment? etc, etc, etc…

m-antony   July 7th, 2008 - 2:31 pm

Have to admit old came to mind with McCain.

Liar came to mind with obama

Steve F   July 7th, 2008 - 2:33 pm

I would say “untested” “RACIST”! With his BIG speech in Berlin, I just wonder which side of the wall will he give it on West or East? Oh! silly me of course it will be Left. His hero, Che, Rev Wright, Jesse J, and all the rest of his cadre would agree! I wonder what response Cindy or Michelle would get? Michelle, “one MAD woman”, Cindy, nice!

I conducted a poll with same questions in a major downtown city in Real America and the answers with the overwhelming numbers was:

McCain – Hero

Obama – Muslim

Imagine that. Kind of tough on the outsiders. Good luck with the campaign of change to muslims for americans, obama.

Cognitive dissident   July 7th, 2008 - 6:16 pm

“Muslim”, “racist”… it is you that are the racists.

“socialist”, “marxist”… why? Barack Obama has annouced that he will KEEP Bush’s tax cuts for 95% of Americans.

Don’t believe the hype people!!The only people that Barack is going to increase taxes for are the rich. If you are wondering who that is, it is those who make an annual salary ABOVE $250,000.00!!!

Bobo   July 7th, 2008 - 6:34 pm

First, I’m not an Obama supporter. I AM, however a supporter of the truth, a concept which is beyond the abilities of many of you.

Fact #1: OBAMA IS *NOT* A MUSLIM. Anyone who says he is is just just a drooling inbred retard.

Fact #2: The richest 10% of Americans already pay almost 70% of the taxes today. Anyone who thinks that raising taxes is a solution to this country’s financial problems is *ALSO* a drooling inbred retard.

Mac-101   July 7th, 2008 - 7:32 pm

BoBO, you are so right:

1. Sen Obama is not a Muslim. He is a Muslim Apostate, since it is established fact that his father was a Muslim. I will not speculate if he attended a Madrass in Indonesia or had his religion listed as Muslim in the Catholic school. An established fact in Egypt, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and almost all other Islamic Paradises is, if your father is a Muslim, or reverts from another religion to become a Muslim, the children become Muslims automaticaly. Sharia Law dictates that true Muslims should invite the Apostate back into the Islamic fold. If the Apostate refuses or reverts again, his family should kill the Apostate. If his family does not kill him then the Tribe should kill the family. Puts the Mafia to shame! Iran just last month made being an Apostate a state criminal offense punishable by death. President Obama’s trip to Iran will be interesting!

2. There are many different statistics about what the top income pay in taxes. I will accept yours. However, the top 1% in America pay practically no tax as a percentage of income due to extensive tax shelters and NGOs, and Trust funds. Research the % of taxes per income of Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, George Soros, John Kerry, the Rockerfellers, and the Kennedys pay. Making the rich pay means the small business man will be paying more taxes, reducing jobs and American self reliance, while the International Corporate ELITES shift their money out of this country. Vote for George Soros’ Sen Obama puppet and see us all become TRAVELERS for the New World Order being controlled by the GLOBALIST, Tran-National Kapitalist. I’ve spent many years living in third world countries. Ain’t pretty folks! That’s their goal. Turn the USA, home of the middle class into another 3rd world hole, so they can maximize profits!

Visit, call, write your Reps and Senators. Tell them to DRILL and BUILD. If Speaker Pelosi doesn’t put it up to a vote, tell President Bush to delare a Presidential Order, sweep away the Envirnmental BS of 10 years and DRILL and BUILD, Gov take 51% of the proifit from public lands, business takes 49% after expenses. Maybee we will not become bankrupt and lower prices NOW.

I can’t say that I’m totally happy with McCain as a candidate, but I’ll be D*A*M*N*E*D if I’ll vote for a left-winger for President (or any office).

No matter what a candidate claims about being a centrist, their prior actions and party affiliations are all that matter.

When a candidate runs for ANY office, they need to get the blessing and support of their party.

With all of its failings, I’ll take the Republicans over the Democrats any day.

The Democratic Party is Communism in sheep’s clothing. The Democratic party depends on the uneducated and poor for support, and they return the favor with handouts, which of course is the Communist way. The Democrats pay for these handouts by penalizing success with increased taxes.

The Republican Party is made up of philosophically stronger, harder-working & better-educated people. Republicans believe in rewarding success while stimulating growth with tax limits.

Finally, the Democrats are weak on defense. They want us to unilaterally pull our troops out of Iraq, knowing full well that this will allow the Islamists to regroup and attack us within our borders.

Republicans believe in a strong defense, and their leadership is the reason why there hasn’t been a terrorist attack on US soil since 2001.

I could go on & on. Nope. I’m a proud Republican who’s proud of this great country. If you’re a Democrat, your a loser whose ashamed of the USA and all it stands for.

“He is a Muslim Apostate, since it is established fact that his father was a Muslim. ”

So what. He hasn’t been anywhere near his father since he was something like 2 years old. This country isn’t based on Sharia law.

“However, the top 1% in America pay practically no tax as a percentage of income due to extensive tax shelters and NGOs, and Trust funds.”

So what. They get those tax breaks because of their charitable donations. Trust fund revenues are taxable at the time of disbursement, so it’s not a tax break. Tax shelters vary and have differing benefits & drawbacks. In the end, they all benefit the societal whole.

“Research the % of taxes per income of Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, George Soros, John Kerry, the Rockerfellers, and the Kennedys pay.”

I have. Have you researched the $$ they’ve given away to charitable causes?

“Making the rich pay means the small business man will be paying more taxes, reducing jobs and American self reliance…”

You assume this is a zero-sum game. It’s not.

“…while the International Corporate ELITES shift their money out of this country.”

Your class envy is showing. Money is leaving this country to buy products that can are made more cheaply overseas. That’s the fault of the greedy unions who demand high wages for basically brainless work.

“Vote for George Soros’ Sen Obama puppet and see us all become TRAVELERS for the New World Order being controlled by the GLOBALIST, Tran-National Kapitalist.”

I’m a Conservative Republican who lives in the world of truth. Your use of words like “elites” and “Kapitalist” says that you’re a left-leaner.

“I’ve spent many years living in third world countries. Ain’t pretty folks!”

Not relevant. I spent 10 years living & traveling abroad on business. Because of Capitalism, the USA is the best country in the world, and has to stay that way.

“That’s their goal. Turn the USA, home of the middle class into another 3rd world hole, so they can maximize profits!”

That’s WHOSE goal? It’s the goal of the Communists and Islamists to turn this country into a third-world hole. It’s the job of true Americans to shut them down. I doubt that you’re up to speed on that fact.

Global trade is a fact of life. As more countries have become more technologically capable (often with US assistance), they can now make widgets cheaper than US (union) factories can. As those emerging countries become richer, they have money to spend on widgets. They’re going to buy those widgets from the lowest-cost source.

Face reality. Until the American workforce realizes that brainless work doesn’t command high wages, the other countries are going to eat our lunch.

Bobo   July 7th, 2008 - 7:57 pm

Seconded. Sort of.

Right now, most of US oil needs are met from petroleum obtained in North America (USA, Canada, Mexico). Drilling for oil would make us less dependent on foreign oil, but the new oil deposits are very expensive to tap and process and wouldn’t drop prices.

There’s said to be enough oil under North Dakota and nearby areas to handle this country’s oil needs for the next 600 years. It’s not going to be cheap to get though.

“Visit, call, write your Reps and Senators. Tell them to DRILL and BUILD. If Speaker Pelosi doesn’t put it up to a vote, tell President Bush to delare a Presidential Order, sweep away the Envirnmental BS of 10 years and DRILL and BUILD, Gov take 51% of the proifit from public lands, business takes 49% after expenses. Maybee we will not become bankrupt and lower prices NOW.”

Getta Clue   July 7th, 2008 - 8:13 pm

United States Oil Reserves represent about 2% of the world’s.

When we permit domestic drilling, how significantly will this increase the supply? How significantly will this affect the price at pump?

Contrary to the professional b.s. peddlers out there, the US will not benefit exclusively from the oil in our reserves. Why not? Because oil is fungible. It is a commodity. That is why there is an oil market place.

* Oil interests *will* profit plenty from domestic drilling. This is their motivation.

* The price of gas at the pump will *not* be affected.

Dave's World   July 7th, 2008 - 8:20 pm

With Obama Urkel comes to mind.

EdgarRuiz   July 7th, 2008 - 8:39 pm

That’s NOT what the Poll said!! Breitbart is reporting calculated LIES which are EASILY disproven,

From the Poll:
“John McCain:
1. Old, 19 percent
2. Military service, 9 percent
3. Record, qualifications, 8 percent

Barack Obama:
1. Outsider, change, 20 percent
2. Lack of experience, 13 percent
3. Dishonest, 9 percent

by only presenting the very limited portion of the poll, breitbart (whose name I won’t even capitalize because it is not worthy) clearly demonstrated how it can manipulate the news to say whatever they WANT to say, and not report on the full truth. somebody needs a lesson on disclosure.

What is appearing here is that “outsider” and “change” are being presented synonymously by Yahoo as well. and that is also clearly a lie. “outsider” does not equal “change”, just as “record” does not equal “qualifications”. There is correspondence, but not synonymity. “Definition by relation” is an unqualified response to the facts.

Mac-101   July 7th, 2008 - 8:42 pm

Bro BoBo, Was not point 1 correct? He is a Muslim Apostate who wishes to vist Iran, where they have a death penalty for Apostates as his first visit. Visit the man who wishes to wipe Israel of the map and prepare the World for the comming of the 12th Inman. I find this amusing!

Point 2, As a tax payer why should I have to pay a greater share of my disposable income even though I am in a lower tax bracket, because some Multi-BILLIONAIR wants to establish NGOs and manipulate global politics. Look up Dr EVIL, Head Kapo of the Universe, George Soros and see how he has finaced Sen McCain and his staff through his NGOs since at least 2000. He was a major player for the Clintons and his Moveon org has thrown 200 MILLION behind Sen Obama, allowing him to shoot to the top. We need a Fair Tax so we become competitive international. As a big buisnessman I assume you are familiar with the hurdles and unfair playing field American Business has to deal with.

The immediate anouncement that we, The President are conducting a war on oil and will aggressively pursue the sane developement of energy in this country would drop prices immediately. We won WW2 in 4 years, the TRATORIST DEMOs and RINOs say it’ll take ten years to DRILL a HOLE and get some oil flowing. They all got to much of the ME MILLIONS that are thrown around to all political parties!

As for capitalism it is the best. Stealing a line from Karl Marx “Trans-NAtionalist Kapitalist will dismantle national borders so as to have the free movement of Labor and Kapital so the each can be more easaily exploited! Of course you probably see nothing wrong with open borders. And only inbred hicks like me believe the North American Union, NAFTA Superhighway etc. are our future. As for you International capitalist with no sence of Patriotism, alow me to qoute Marx again, “The last capitalist we hang will be the one who sold us the rope”.

As for seing the 3rd world I got a few you international business travelers don’t see. It still ain’t pretty.

If you want to google up some bjects I’d be glad to give you a few interesting topics!

Face it Republicans….

After the bush disaster, all the Republican party can come up with is an elderly senile old navy veteran from a long lost war. He is not a good Republican at all. McCain is old, stupid, frail, deluded, etc. He’s even an admitted adulterer. His congressional career is under the shadow the the Keating five and the K-Street lobbyists. His “principles” change every time he wakes up in the morning. He was a puppet for the Vietcong, a puppet for the democrats, a puppet for the lobbyist, and now he’s a puppet for the Republican party.

We realize you needed “somebody” to run, but McCain is just an embarrassment. It does not really matter who the democrat is. After the Bush administrations colossal failure and with this old idiot running on the Republican side, any Democrat will win. In fact, come November, it is looking like the Republican party is going to be decimated. There might not be anymore Republican party after this next election.

After eight years, the republicans mostly got thrown in jail and failed our country on every major issue. Americans are mad right now and they are going to take it out on the Republicans in November. They can talk, cry, and lie all they want, but come November, the Republican party is going to get just what it deserves…

Mac-101   July 7th, 2008 - 9:01 pm

Comarade Red Rover, Be joyfull, George Soros played the Repub primary like a fiddle to insure McCain won so he can purposefully lose. You DEMOs will get your veto proof Senate and full house. Enjoy your acheivement because it will result in the extinguishing of the torch of freedom. But beware, was it Rospierre(SP) or Lenin who said the Revolution always eats its own children! Your President Obama will turn out the shining light on the hill!

dswilli   July 7th, 2008 - 9:01 pm

You and your opinion are irrelevant Rover. You for 8 years ignored the most corrupt President EVER (save the Nixon bs, not even close). You excused Oval office blow jobs, Communist Chinese buying nuke secrets, pimping of the Lincoln bedroom and defining the word is. So save your selective moral indignation it has grown tiresome.

Mac-101   July 7th, 2008 - 9:10 pm

But dswilli, why did Speaker Grenwich (SP) impeach President Clinton for a cigar when he should have been idicted for treason over the Missle guidance system he had Loran sell to the Chi-Coms for a losey $300,000 donation to the DNC?

dswilli   July 7th, 2008 - 9:11 pm

Excellent question Mac-101. My guess it goes way up the food chain.

Mac-101   July 7th, 2008 - 9:33 pm

Bro Dswilli, All I can figure out their giving us cirus and bread while Rome Burns, Good Cop/Bad Cop game. They have it so polorized people aren’t asking the most basic questions.
