“we don't have a liberal party in America. It's the conservative party and a moderate party.”

“What I noticed is that some people just call themselves Independents just to sound free thinking and above the partisan fray, but they're just huge Republicans. They hold all the same hollow ideological positions and the same tired arsenal of "everything is Obama's fault" talking points.”

“I wish more people like Madonna could use their unlimited wealth and influence to change the lives of people who are the most destitute among us. Brava, Madonna!”

“Yeah. That would definitely crush the hopes and spirit of the African American population in the U.S. You might even see increased African American migration to Canada and possibly Europe. But some people would LOVE that. They've been wanting us to go back to where they dragged us away from for a few centuries now.”

“Why does anyone who question the mainstream theory or looks into alternate theories get labeled a denialist? House of Numbers is getting attention and ruffling feathers because among all the questions presented in the documentary, some tacit truths were revealed. This weak paradigm is tumbling down and the rats and roaches are running for cover holding onto crumbs.

The main-streamers and poison pushers sound like those right wing lunatics calling any attempt to reform health care socialism or nazism. How does questioning a very suspect theory equal denialism equal to that of denying the holocaust? Like the right wing nutters, they are terrified to engage in an actual debate because they have very little to stand on, and that platform is getting weaker everyday.”

“Exactly. I substitute taught at a predominately black school several years ago. I once taught an 8th grade class, and the level of writing and reading comprehension was probably 4th or 5th grade at best. I would often ask the kids what they wanted to be when they grew up, and without fail, 9 out of 10 boys would say a rapper or a ball player. When I asked if they had a back up plan if that didn't work out, most of these 13 year-olds had never thought about anything else.

I am an African American, the first in my family to get a bachelor's degree and I am a year away from getting a master's degree, which is way beyond what my family ever thought any of us would do. We do not have enough visible blacks in the media who are scholars, journalists, scientists etc. We need to stop focusing on enterainment and focus on education. We are our own worst enemy.”

“I am black and gay. I understand your frustration. The simple fact is that this is a religious issue. Upwards to 80% percent of African Americans consider themselves to be religious, whereas only 65% of whites say the same. Black people tend to be very religious and so of course they are going to oppose a prop that supports what they believe is a sin. Homophobia is rampant in the Black community. Sad and true. But to blame Obama for how 70% of black voters in California voted is unfortunate.

But who we should really be blaming is the state of California who allowed this prop to be put on the ballot in the first place. The state of California approved rescinding a right that it had already given. So while some Blacks in CA have some blame, you can't punish Obama for that.”

“they got the memo alright. The one from FAUX news, where facts are optional.”

“Sticky and Sweet. Maybe we can get Madonna to stop by The White House on her Sticky and Sweet Tour!”

“Relax guys and gals. The title wreaked of satire. And very good satire at that. This is HuffPo! :-)”

“To other stressed out Obama supporters; There are only two ways Obama can lose
1. If we let them steal this election in all the ways that they will try to (voter suppression)
2. If you you don't get your A$$ out and vote.

GO VOTE AND WAIT AS LONG AS YOU HAVE TO!!!”

“I have come to except a few things about this election.

1. There may be some merit to the Bradley Effect, but I also believe that there are considerable amounts of voters who publicly say that they are sticking with McCain, but when they go into that booth they intend on voting for Obama because deep down they know McCain and Palin will be a bad choice. This may way neutralize any Bradley Effect.

2. McCain and Pail has definitely lost a large majority of the female vote with his "health" snafu. Women are a little more than half the population, outnumbering any other minority group. Most women's organization endorse Obama and detest Palin.

3. The Obama campaign has lawyers standing by in any place they perceive as being succeptible to voter suppression or ballot tampering. Please believe that Obama hasn't launched the most effective campaign in American history to lose it over stolen votes. This may mean another Supreme Court case, but they will fight till the end. Unlike Gore did in 2000.”

“Me too. I can barely stand it any more. I visit RealClearPolitics, Fivethirtyeight and huffpost constantly to make sure I know where the polls are and the electoral maps look like at all times. Thankfully we are down to the wire. If this country wants a brighter future, we will elect Barack Obama. If we want to continue to self-destruct we'll elect John McCain, BlunderWoman.”

“Not to offend, but your dear mother is a hopeless victim who will never see all of this for what it is. Just keep loving her and try not to get frustrated while she expresses her "fears"”

“The good thing is that Obama and McCain don't have to do anything about Syria. They may be asked their opinions on it, but they can't DO anything. They are at this point still senators and support any decision by a vote if it came to it. It's up to Pres. Bush to react. God if you do exist, help us lol.”

“No one is buying the "Obama the secret Muslim" ploy any more. Only morons like you. Second, the corporations that you hold so dear are using various loopholes and write-offs that for all intents and purposes reduce what they pay in taxes by a large margin. People with lots of money find really interesting ways of hiding it. I don't care how much you cut taxes for corporations, they are still going to cut costs to raise the bottom line. And they do that by globalization, the free market, free trade and other buzzwords that mean going overseas to take advantage of cheap labor in countries that have lax or nonexistent labor laws and/or environmental standards. Stop drinking the kool-aid. How do you think we are going to pay for two wars, the latest 700 Billion dollar corporate welfare check and the deficit we have?By keep taxes low and borrowing money from China? No thanks. use your brain dude.”

“She is a liar. How can you tell people you've been cleared of ethical wrong doing when she has.
She has been using state funds to pay for trips that her children are taking, uninvited and saying they are official business trips. She paid herself per diem for staying in her own house. Get real. This woman is bold-faced liar and abuses her power regularly. Not to mention the hypocrisy. How dare she say that Obama doesn't see America like the rest of "us". Number one, who is "us"? And number two, how does she think the AIP(Alaska Independence Party), a group which she supports sees America?”

“I hope you're right. Because the last 8 years have shown America to be a dumb and fearful country. What would it say about our country if McCain won, even after the last 8 years and his disgraceful campaign?”

“Hardly. The vast majority of Democrats are very worried in general and won't declare this is over until its over. Whether that comes in the form of Obama winning by a landslide or if it comes down to recounts and legal battles in the Supreme Courts of Ohio, Florida or any other state where the numbers are close. The Repubs won't steal it in O8. Believe that!!”

“I thought it was great. They won't let her talk to any reporters or hold any press conferences so this was an attempt to make her accessible. I thought it was funny and she looked adorable up their dancing. She actually has rhythm. However, I don't want her as VP and definitely not POTUS.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08!! Vote early!”

“I was young but I certainly remember how reviled and hateful the GOP became to Clinton after he took the wheel. It was relentless. That's why when he did his thing with Ms. Lewinski, the Republicans couldn't wait to bring him down.”

“These facts are wasted on Joe, John and his entire campaign”

“Bush and the Republicans have been violating ethic left and right for the last 8 years. What makes you think the MSM will go gaga over little ole Sarah Pain. However, I would think her being a VP candidate would draw some attention to it.”

“Exactly. I was really turned off by that. I expect that of McCain. But as a democrat I was a disappointed in Obama. I hate that these debates always end up being about the candidates and what they want or need to say. We also have to keep in mind that they are trying to win an election and their campaigns have narratives and bullet points they have to stick to. And these debates are just dots on a strategic map. Given that. I think Gwen Ifill did a great job given what the debates typically turn out to be like.”

“How dare you ask an American to devote more than 30 seconds to research or learn about extremely important information!:-)”
