Obama tonight...

Yep, it's much better that Obama belittles the guy every chance he gets, and asking a question of a politician is going to result in a full blown investigation into your background, financial status, and work status.

Makes me not want to ask him any questions.. Good Strategy. Someone asks you a question you don't like, ruin their lives.
Why is there no mention of McCain opting out of the primary public financing system when he tried to use it to get on the ballot and get loan financing based on his acceptance of it?

I'm curious what you think about this:

I suggest that any discussion of this issue is not complete without at least some reference to John McCain's use of his wife's corporate jet, which, albeit technically legal, is an example of the "broken" system that gives the candidate with greater personal wealth (or wealthier spouse)a huge advantage.
(See NYT 4/27/08: "McCain Frequently Used Wife's Jet for Little Cost" and 5/10/08: "McCain Plane Still Flying."

The article concluded: "Mr. McCain has said his campaign's method of reimbursing his wife's company for the plane is legal, and no one disputes that. But critics have argued that Mrs. McCain is effectively subsidizing her husband's campaign because either she or her company has to make up for the difference between what his campaign pays for the jet's use and what it really costs to operate it."

Fox is the only network that will talk about that. AND they have one guy on blasting Obama, with another guy defending him. Fair. Balanced.

CNN also has conservative talking heads who balance out the lefties.
Every time I turn on CNN, it's a bunch of pundit screamers ranting about the Republicans, or some "reporter" holding a pep rally for Barack Obama.

Apparently there are nudie pics of Obama's mama floating around cyberspace - real ones, that she posed for. CNN tell you that or are they too busy worrying about Sarah Palin's clothing allowance? Not that I care about either of those things, but the first is definitely more interesting than the second.

SO if you put a dollar figure on the use of the jet how far ahead would he be in the funding? Would it make O and Mac even instead of 265Million to 60 Million??

I think Obama should share the wealth with McCain.. at least give McCain half of it.. I mean it IS over 250k isn't it??

See.. red herring, total bull####, but nice try, keep trying.

And I don't recall him making any promises concerning the primary, though I've heard other Islamocrats bring it up as fuel agains Obama breaking his word. Instead of saying, "Yes, Obama lied, he broke his word" They come up with 100 different unrelated things about McCain to talk about.. DId he lie?? But McCain was seen in McDonalds yesterday!!

And that's what it is. The Left is so used to only hearing one side, that when another side is presented it makes them flip their lids.
It's more than that. It's about shutting down any opposing view. Have you ever watched The View? That show epitomizes how the left operates in “free speech”. When Whoopie talks everyone shuts up. When Joy talks everyone shuts up. When Barbara talks everyone shuts up and listens. When Elizabeth talks everyone talks over top of her. That is how the left operates. Shut them down. BO has done it with that network in FL.

With this level of free speech suppression and their desire to reenact the “Fairness Doctrine” conservatives should be very concerned.

The only one who talks over top of people on the Right is O'Reilly. Alan Colmes, Chris Matthews - they don't let their guest get a word in edgewise if it's an opposing view. Colmes will go as far as changing the subject and shouting over the opposition, just like our beloved Lefties on here do.

One thing I've noticed about Obama supporters - the DO NOT want to talk about Obama. The second you bring his name up, they start shouting about John McCain. They did this with Clinton, too.

Huh...

...you two seem to have a fairly good take on things. Now, do you suppose we could find some GOP'ers somewhere who understand these very simple, very basic realities about the left and are willing to act accordingly, IE, fight, attack and keep moving?

There are two ways to fight battles; the Vietnam/Bush way, constantly worry and react to what your opponent is doing, or, attack, move, attack again and let your opponent worry about what you are going to do next.

It's called 'initiative'.

How cute.

I already said that he who controls the media controls the population.

Republicans can "take charge" but they will still get raped by the media. Surely you've noticed how the only balanced news network on TV has been marginalized by the Left so that it is now CW that it's fake and a bunch of lies. That can't have escaped you.

John Murtha voted against HIS OWN BILL. The Republicans knew it was bull####, so they said 'put up or shut up' in a rare display of leadership. The media barely mentioned this, and I know several people who are completely unaware it even happened. But they can sure tell you about the $150k Sarah Palin spent on her campaign wardrobe.

Murtha has since then continued to run his mouth - completely uncriticized by the MSM. Nobody says a word about that bill.

Al Sharpton was a presidential candidate, and was even taken seriously! Asked to debate and everything! And not one word about Tawana Brawley or Crown Heights. The news people had him on and couldn't have puckered up fast enough to kiss his ring.

You know how this works and you've been watching it happen for years. So you certainly know that the second some Republican gets the gumption to stand up to the Democrat attack machine, his career is over. The media will destroy him. They will go after his family, his friends, anyone he has ever associated with.

Yet they have the nerve to use the term "Rovian". :roflmao:

All McCain did was point out the truth about Barack Obama, and he was immediately set upon. Why do you think the Left hates Fox News so much? That's the only network that gives the Republicans equal time. Obama can't hardly make a speech without disparaging Fox.

...that's crap. GOP'ers get opportunities galore to speak out. They get on face the nation. They get on CNN. They get on MSNBC.

There are more than enough people to support Republicans that will fight. Look at the EXPLOSION of support for Palin based on the pent of desire for someone that there is even a hint of fight in her.

No one has to be ugly. No one has to get vulgar or nasty. All they have to do is make their point, stick to it and let their opponents hang themselves. You know how this is done. You've seen Scarborough do it. You've seen him turn Wexler, no light weight, five shades of red.

You've seen Newt do it. You've seen George Will do it.


I can tell you this much, if it is not expected of them, we sure won't get it.

And where is Newt now?

Last I heard about George Will, he was supporting Barack Obama.

Look at the EXPLOSION of support for Palin based on the pent of desire for someone that there is even a hint of fight in her.
And look what the media did to her. Even you are now saying that she's too stupid to be VP and it was a cynical pick on McCain's part. But you sure didn't say that until the media drilled it into your brain.

Yes. Obama will increase spending for our military.


As stated multiple times, which the non-retarded members of our forum have already figured out...I will not be able to vote during public voting hours as I will be working during those exact hours ( plus at least a couple on each end) to make sure everyone else can vote in a safe environment.

You're welcome, you azzhole.
Well, Barney Frank is going to fight him on that. I think I heard BF say last week that he wants to cut the military budget by 25%.
