Hope – Change – Hope – Change

The Audacity of Hype!!

The Media picked Obama and McCain – they can’t lose.

All I hear is change change change, I ask you, WTF has he changed in Illinois? NADA, ZIP, ZILCH! And all you delusional Dems think he is gonna do a thing with the entire country? If anyone here can tell me a good change he has done for Illinois then I will shut up. But, if you can’t then you shut up! I am tired of hearing this lunatics promises to change things. All you will get in return is nothing. Wake up America. This guy is gonna kill this country and everything it was based on.

My cousin went to this rally as a spy. He said he saw hundreds of Che t-shirts, randoms acts of fellatio, pot smoke wafting up in the crowd, woman tongue kissing, more Birkenstocks that you can a shake a stick at and plenty of anti-Israel buttons and leaflets. The enemy is within the gates people.

So, just what part of the Chicago political hack machine has “changed” since the messiah has graced it? C’mon, libs start thinking.

Vote for obama and you get a Rosie odonnell. Obamas homosexual “Down Low” acts should be addressed in the media. If it were a Repub it would be all over the place. Maybe that’s why so many carpet munchers where at that rally.

Last time i saw a mass gathering in American streets like that, it was by Bush’s illegal Mexican immigrants marching in l.a., dallas, and chicago. I am not voting for Obama, but i am glad to see Americans start getting off their butts and getting angry about the implosion of America.

Blah Blah Blah – Now lets see if any of the media will cover McCain when he is at one of his hot spots or cover Obama at any number of conservative centers in this country!

Here goes the press again – electing our next president for us!

I’m not buying it!

Portland has just under 2 million people, 75k (to give the benefit of the doubt) is 3% of the total population.

Portland and Oregon voted democrat in each of the general elections going back to 1988 (20 years).

When Reagan beat Mondale in 1984 was the last time Portland or Oregon voted Republican.

Having a big crowd in Portland – why would this be a surprise?

Has Obama been to a metropolitan area this size before? I would not be surprised if this was the first time in a city if 2 million plus and the media is making it sound like he is all that.

Can you say “HYPE”?

Moreover, they could of had 100k people out there but there are over 300,000,000 people in this county; that is over 4000 times the number of people SUPPOSEDLY at that rally. There is a long way to go baby!

The media is giving this guy a messiah – rock star persona and he has done absolutely nothing to earn it – he is a JUNIOR senator from Illinois – and that is it.

What experience does he have to run this country? Unless he gets the right people around him, he ain’t doo-doo!

75,000 people huh? BFD, I’m sure it’s all the usual suspects. Dykes on bikes,assorted unions,Communists, illiterate morons who’d cut their mothers throats for a free bus ride and a sack lunch. Not to mention the self important idiot college kids. A unbiased critical media would find out how many buses, where from and who’s paying. But all we get is a cheer leading squad such as little Chrissy Mathews, and Keith (frontal lobotomy needed) Olbermann. Some of these losers soil themselves they get so excited.

What do Republiklans do? Have sex with pages, solicit sex with undercover officers in airport bathrooms, get married and divorced as many times as possible, start wars because someone tried to kill their daddy, pardon Scooter Libby because he didn’t want him to rat out Dick the drunk shoot my friend in the face rifleman, shall I continue? Yet they call themselves the party of FAMILY VALUES! Don’t make me puke. Republiklans are liars and are hateful!

I know what you mean man. Only 1/4000th of the population of the United States? Why is this even news?

Look out the socialists have their man and they are energized. America is slouching towards socialism and the liberal masses are rejoicing as the bells of liberty and freedom are gradually being muffled and silenced.

I am getting so tired of these talks with no information and the words “Change, Change, Change.”

It keeps being repeated like a mantra. With the idea that all that is needed is to repeat it enough times and it will become real.

People seem to forget that three things are needed to attack a problem: Knowledge, Volition, and Action.

A mantra or prayer is good for focus but with out a clear knowledge of the problem, will to take action on the problem, and then taking action.
Well it is just words with no substance or use

PS I also found it interesting that the Clinton camp is trying to make an issue of the “sweetie” comments. It sound like a desperate cry for attention to me.

Change like defunding the military perhaps? Change like abandoning Iraq and Afghanistan? Change such as federal recognition of gay marriage? Socialized medicine, gun confiscation you mean that kind of change? Allowing the United Nations to dictate US foreign policy? I’m truly astonished to see such empty rhetoric sway so many people. The mainstream press does not seem to know or care that they are driving the US towards a second civil war. The media
has absolutely abandoned their Constitutional duties in favor of propagandizing. Our votes are rendered meaningless by illegal votes (all sanctioned by the ACLU). Sadly a great number of people (see Rover) are glad to see our Republic flushed as long as it benefits his/hers side.

Libs don’t think, they feel. They get swept up in the emotion. That is the problem.

GuyInCT   May 19th, 2008 - 6:02 pm

I hear that at his next rally he’s planning to walk on water.

There must be nothing to do there.
See the TN commercial that Obama does not want you to see. Link at my blog.

1% of Oregon is black. Why won’t they let black people live there?

Sean   May 19th, 2008 - 8:35 pm

C’mon…its Oregon.

Didn’t Ward Churchill have a 100k rally a few years back.

It’s Oregon!!

Useful Idiot   May 19th, 2008 - 8:41 pm

Liberalism, Progressivism, Socialism, Globalism = the Now & the Future. Conservatism, Nationalism, Isolationism, = Bye Bye! Obama is Change in its Infant stage, as Hope matures, and the new movement grows into adolescence, The World will be Transformed. You Conservatives Wont Recognize it…. and frankly… I Cant Wait! Obama ‘08 !!!!!

PaleRyder   May 19th, 2008 - 9:06 pm

Its Portland folks,if there is one city other than frisco on the west coast that is purebred hate-America it is Portland.Don’t tell me I don’t know,I live in this cesspool of far left lunacy.The thing that caught my attention was his satement about we can’t fill our suv’s and continue to EAT what we wnat and keep our thermostat at 72 and think the other countries will just say OK.!!!I wasn’t aware we as Americans needed any other countries blessing to live our lives the way we see fit.Problem is,the naxi crowd there ate it up when he said that and it just furthers the notion that liberalism has to be a mental disorder.How could you possibly want to gladly give up your rights and turn this nation over to the rules and upstanding judgement of someone like the UN.And don’t tell the Patriot act took your rights away,dems gladly voted it in and the difference is it was congress not judicial fiat that made it law,it will expire at sometime and be replaced by even worse from the obomber camp.This man continues to lie and decieve and the brain dead mentality that used be the dem party just gladly goose-steps right along.People better wake up and do it soon,the dem party is a goner from what it used to be and is been replaced by the worst political ideals to come along since,well, ever.This guy actually makes david duke look reasonable,or better yet Robert(kkk) Byrd.You know the old saying”As Portland goes ,so goes the dregs of society”.

Hope they set aside enough grazing area so this herd of “Bama” sheep could eat. Unbelievable yep that best describes this rally.

Logic Lee   May 19th, 2008 - 9:41 pm

Wow, that is a huge flock!! The sheep herders are to be congratulated.

Sean   May 19th, 2008 - 9:52 pm

Must have been good kool-ade

Huck   May 19th, 2008 - 11:29 pm
