Bush Lied About Giving Up Golf: Video Proof
Electing Sweetie
When candiates switch parties,that indicates an OUT OF CONTROL EGO. "Oh,so I lost in the party I've been in for decades? They don't "want" me? I'll show THEM! I'll be an INDEPENDENT! I want to be president so bad, I'll do ANYthing...! Just ask Joe Lieberman,who has earned the name given to him by the Republicans in 2000 : "Loserman".
All the running she did as a Democrat,all the Democrats who voted for her...switching will be a kick in the teeth for them;that she can just toss it all away and say,"Hey,I'm Independent now...I'm over here...!
I hope she does go Independent...that'll show her true colors. posted 05/17/2008 at 09:22:49

Are you for REAL, truthseeker? you think she "beat" Obama in that awful ABC debate? Obama spent the first half or more defending himself about stupid stuff. There went Hillary about Ayers: "If I'm not mistaken...". The best part of the night is when Obama reminded her that her hubby Bill PARDONED two members of the Weather Underground. She declined a rebuttal, and this was never brought up again.Classic!
I'm tired of this "negative coverage" excuse...can't we make up our own minds? If the media started advocating jumping off bridges,would we have mass suicides to deal with? First,the media had a little "fun" with Obama's name. Then his middle name.Then the media spent what seemed like a MONTH talking about Rev.Wright.
The nomination was hers to lose,and she did a heck of a job losing it. Change you can Xerox,inviting him to be HER viceP,"elitist","hunting",knocking back shots,"obliterating" Iran...
And to think that ,according to Clinton, "All Sen.Obama has is a speech he gave in 2002"... posted 05/17/2008 at 09:11:31

Sorry,lavisiter...that dog won't hunt. Clinton could have done what a few people did in Congress...vote NO. She could have held meetings with people like Scott Ritter. She could have listened to Hans Blix. She could have educated herself ,researching the people that were advocating war and saw that they have been wanting to invade Iraq for a loooong time.
But she also could have considered the ever-shifting rationale Bush gave.First Hussein must let the inspectors in-or else.When Hussein said, "OK",then the mantra was that Hussein couldn't be trusted because he was "the master of deception"(funny how always project their traits onto someone else). Aluminum tubes.Flimsy UAVs that were going to cross the ocean.It would be laughable today if hundres of thousands of people weren't dead because of it.Instead,she went along with the crowd, in an effort to appear "tough" on terrorists(we saw her doing this during her campaign : beer-and-shot-drinking,"hunting",low voice,etc.). It would have been more gutsy to vote NO in the face of all of that and be able to sleep at night,knowing that you didn't help in geting people killed.
You say that Obama made a "low profile" speech against the war when he wasn't a senator...would YOU have listened to him? Would the media have given it much coverage? No,you would have said, "Obama? Who's this? His name rhymes with Osama!" posted 05/17/2008 at 08:57:05

truthseeker : In one sentence you wrote you voted for Sharpton,and in the next,you say that Obama is inexperienced...huh? What experience does Sharpton have? Was he ever a Senator? What public office has he ever held? Obama has more experience than Sharpton...
The truth is, "truthseeker",is that what we're doing in Afghanistan isn't "defense" - it's "retaliation". "Defense" happens WHILE you're being attacked ; retaliation is what you do AFTER you're attacked. If I punch someone on Monday and they hit me back on Friday,that isn't defense.Defense on 9/11 would have been US fighter jets intercepting and/or shooting down those four planes.Three of them? Two? How 'bout the plane that hit our military HQ,with Andrews AFB only TEN MILES AWAY? Anything?
What we're doing in Iraq is finally fulfilling the wishes of people like Rumsfeld,Wolfowitz,Perle,etc. in toppling Hussein and controlling Iraq's oil.
And who's going to kick Obama's "but",exactly? posted 05/17/2008 at 08:37:38

Bush Compares Obama To Nazi Appeasers
Ho-hum.Every so often,this "argument" gets trotted out. Not only did the attacks occur during his presidency,but :
BEFORE: Intel agencies were telling us something was coming,and the closer 9/11 got, the more specific they were.The Bush administration blew it all off (Wolfowitz : "Who cares about [bin Laden]?"),I think on purpose.
DURING: Not much...Andrews AFB 10 miles away from the Pentagon.Nothing.Pentagon hit.Planes take off from Andrews AFTER the hit. Hmmm.
AFTER: The worst attack on America in its history-and the Bush administration didn't want it investigated. Odd.
ANTHRAX : Those terrorists will pay for what they've...whuzzat? The anthrax came from a US Army base? [sound of media coverage dropping off precipitously]
After Bush is out of office,he and his "inner skanktum" will be on some island with no extradition treaties with the US. Watch. posted 05/16/2008 at 13:57:08

Hellooo? Didya read the whole thing? "White House aides privately acknowledged that Bush was referring to OBAMA AND OTHER DEMOCRATS..."
If Bush (Mr.Ranch Owner,Cmdr.Flight Suit,Major Mission Accomplished,Marshal Dead Or Alive)had any intestinal fortitude,he would SAY who he was referring to-instead,he gets to say,"Well,I never mentioned any names".Guh - hut - less - wuuunnn - derrrrrrr....!
Carter didn't meet with terrorists; he met with Hamas,the group that the Palestinians elected to represent them in that "free and fair" election that hardly gets mentioned today.We may not like who others select to represent them,but we've tried the other way (not talking),and it doesn't work. Some people around the world think the US (ahem,"somehow") re-elected a terrorist organization in 2004.
All Obama needs to know is that once he becomes POTUS,there's gonna be worldwide celebrations like at the end of Return of the Jedi.I know it's hard,but just keep brushin' your shoulders off 'till November,Obama! posted 05/16/2008 at 13:44:45

Why Hillary Lost My Daughter and Me
Not only does she have that "embellishment problem",but she's proven that ,just like Bush,she'll back out of agreements if it suits her. Both Hillary and Obama agreed that the votes in FL and MI would not count-but now that needs those votes,she wants them to count (even though she can't with them,and Obama wasn't even on the ballot in MI) .
Back in 2001,BEFORE 9/11,Bush "unsigned" the ABM Treaty with Russia so he could get the neocon's long-suffering "missile shield" in place around the world.
She's fouling up the Dem.Party.Her dirty campaigning turned so many people off that they don't want her anywhere NEAR Obama-ruining the odds of what would have been a powerful Obama/Clinton ticket.McCain would have thrown in the towel! posted 05/14/2008 at 08:42:52

There's something that Hillary supporters need to consider... SOMEHOW, Hillary lost the support of the Black vote,the big superdelegate lead she had, the huge name recognition factor(despite her using "Hillary" rather than "Clinton"),having an immensely popular former president as husband and booster,and starting out as the favorite. Remember when the media was (intentionally?) mixing "Obama" and "Osama"? What happened?! There isn't enough Obama "Kool Aid",as they like to say,in the world to wipe out all of that good fortune.

Let's be honest. The world is watching this one. Obama being the nominee (virtually as it's not quite 'official' yet) has already raised the stock of the US a point or two.If people think Obama was treated like a "rock star" here, wait until he hits the world stage. And he'll even get more points just by virtue of Not Being Bush.
And besides-he'll be the first POTUS to not look RIDICULOUS wearing another country's traditional/ceremonial garb! posted 05/10/2008 at 01:54:21

Reading The Pictures: Preparing For The Second Coming (Of Obama-Mania)
So,Jazzylady26-who IS fit to be president? It can't be Clinton,whose campaign is a look into how she would run the country.
She had a budget for her campaign.Blew through it all,and is now using $12M of her own money.Doesn't bode well for a balanced budget.
She agreed that FL and MI's votes wouldn't count-when she thought she was a shoo-in.Now,she needs those votes(even though she can't win anyway),and she's telling anyone who'll listen,completely ignoring that agreement. Is she going to ignlore treaties and agreements when it suits her were she to be President?
So,who are you voting for? posted 05/09/2008 at 08:21:06

Obama Vice President Picks: Who Are The Frontrunners?
I agree...but let's not forget what the Bush administration did to Haiti/Aristide. February 2004,they hustled Aristide out of Haiti "for his own safety"-but didn't tell him where he was going.Then Rice basically told him to "stay out of the hemisphere". Every time Aristide tries to do good for Haitians,it's always trouble.As is the case with most leaders that we are told are "bad",he doesn't like privatization.
Now,Haiti just had some riots because there isn't enough food,and people were literally eating dirt.
Colin Powell was involved in the kidnapping as well.
President Obama almost needs to go on a "We're Sorry" Tour,visiting countries like Haiti and Iraq, etc. to try to make things right. posted 05/10/2008 at 16:21:16

Clinton's Open Letter To Obama On MI and FL
Is this the way Hillary would run things as President? Make an agreement for something only to try to overturn it if it suits her purposes? She agreed that the votes in FL and MI wouldn't count back when she thought she was a shoo-in-and all Obama had was "a speech he made in 2002".Now that she needs those votes...
Now,they should do MI again,because Obama wasn't even on the ballot. But I'll bet that when Obama starts pulling ahead of her there,she will hold up the ORIGINAL agreement and yell,"We agreed to not have these votes count...". Right now, she'll do and say ANYTHING to make herself look "Presidential" - but she's shown her true self during this nomination race,and I can't see her representing this country. posted 05/09/2008 at 07:59:04

Anyone remember when 'Hillary"(and why she doesn't use her last name I have no idea) said that SHE had a "lifetime of experience", that McCAIN had a "lifetime of experience",and all Obama had was a speech? There's the proof that she'll do/say just about anything to get elected.She actually put herself and McCain on equal footing to smear Obama.
She keeps robotically talking about Fl and MI,even though Obama's name wasn't on the ballot in MI (and she still didn't get 100% of the vote-hello?).Chances are,those delegates will be split,and she'll be in the same position she's in now...

Imus: Obama "Almost A Bigger Pussy" Than Hillary
verycold: what a bunch of mush. He never said that he never heard that stuff ; he said he never heard what was looped on TV for however long.I think,for you,the "satisfactory" answer is :
"Please forgives me,y'all. I sho is sorry fuh hangin' 'roun' wit dat mean ol' Revvin' Wrights. I sho ain'gonna fools wit' him NO MO'! No suh! Mmm-mmm! He BAAAAD NEWS!,sho NUFF!"
That MUST be it-because he gave what many consider a groundbreaking speech (actually,I don't think it was groundbreaking,but he explained his position WITHOUT throwing Wright under a bus-and he explained that,too) in Philly,but somehow THAT ISN'T ENOUGH. The only thing leffs is fo' Obama to begs forgiveness from yuh. As many times as Obama tried to get Gibbs and Steffy out of the gutter to talk about REAL issues-from which Hillary would benefit as well-nope! "Where's ya flg pin,Commie?" Clinton piled on too,with the Weather Underground nonsense-"if I'm not mistaken"-until, he reminded her that Bill pardoned two members.She wisely declined to respond.

They tossed in a little Bosnia just so they could say they weren't totally biased.They even dredged up the "flag pin" issue.Christ! You'd never know that he addressed all these issues in detail.
Meanwhile,about Hillary's LIE about Bosnia,she's allowed to say, "Oopsie! I made a booboo! Hope you can forget about it!" Instead of following Obama and telling the idiotic moderators to get to and stick with the issues,she jumped right in the mud with 'em.

No matter how hard Obama tried to steer them away from the gutter-to the benefit of BOTH candidates-Gibbo and Steffy just kept rolling around in it. He tried mightily to impress upon them that the real issues weren't being discussed and that the viewers were missing out-and round and round they went.He told them that the voters were smarter than this and that they deserved better,but they just kept on rolling around in the swamp like two overpaid crocodiles.

Also,her atttempts to paint Obama as "elitist" are falling flat.She's been jeered already at one speech because of it.

First,McCain apparently "forgives" Bush and his machine for trashing him and his family in the 2000 Repub.nomination race,and now he's trundling along as the candidate after no one really wanted him.

C'mon...you should know by now that nothing happens by chance-especially the "chance" that the military would be running simulations of hijackings on the SAME DAY AND TIME that hijackers actually go and hijack planes? The same thing happened when the London subways were bombed-look it up.
Second,finding war crimes in the Bush administration would be like shooting fish at your local supermarket-and when various Bushbots wave their pardons in the air,it'll just serve to show what scum they are-and that they KNEW what they were doing was illegal.
Third,it sounds like you are admitting that you are "scared",and scared people don't vote for change. If that's the case,then go ahead and vote for Hillary.No one ever said that Obama was going to get all the votes.

With Rev.Wright,he had to explain why he wouldn't throw Wright under the bus like all the rest of the candidates would have.
This time,his statement didn't need "reinterpreting" at all - but look what's happening.

And how many times has the Bush administration denied something that turned out to be a bunch of lies? Oh,that's right-it's OK when WE do it,right? posted 04/12/2008 at 13:28:01
There goes Tim N. again...say it with me: IRAN IS ALLOWED TO HAVE NUCLEAR ENERGY.To do this,they must do what they're doing. The West's "fears" are irrelevant. And if they make nukes ,so what? Just like any other country that has them,they are a deterrent to maniac regimes-like the one we have here-that would attack them.It's time to drop the Amerocentric view of the world.Everything THEYdo is bad,but everything WE do is A-OK-even if it's the same thing THEY do.This way of thinking is going to get us killed.

Tim N.,the quotes you posted not only don't scare anyone,or change anyone's mind, but they are entirely legitimate.
"The Zionist regime will be gone"? Of course...the Roman Empire is gone,too.Everything goes!
"Zionists...anything evil against Iran..."? This one's easy: DON'T ATTACK US,OR WE'LL PUT OUR FOOT IN YOUR ASS".
"Remove Israel or the Palestinians will..."? So what? Some Jews will admit that the land Israel is on now was stolen.So the Palestinians will fight to get their land back? So what? That's what you're supposed to do!
"Zionist state of Israel heading toward annihilation"? Yeah,they are-because of their actions.They can't keep doing what they're doing...someday,something's going to blow.
BTW,where's the quote by Ahmedinajad about moving Israel to a European country? His reasoning was that the State of Israel came about in great part because of the Holocaust,carried out by some dude from Austria. Why not put Israel there? No,THAT quote is seldom repeated,because it kinda makes sense! posted 04/12/2008 at 12:59:21

The way Obama can rally folks,he should start calling the media out for their "reinterpretation" of his statements.With any luck,the ratings will start dropping,and then perhaps they'll realize the "error" of their ways.People should start picketing outside the HQs of the networks.
And before anyone posts,this can go for ANY statement from ANY candidate. Here's a cause they can ALL get behind. posted 04/12/2008 at 20:00:37
Because the "messenger" isn't delivering the message they've been given, 2Cents. Obama says something,and by the time it gets down to the MSM,it's completely different-and then they keep repeating it like it's the actual message.
Obama should call them on it. Ask them directly: "Why do my statements get totally turned around in the MSM? Who is the Wizard behind the curtain that remixes what I say and spreads it to all the other networks?"
Actually,if they keep doing this (vexing as it is), Obama will win. They tried it with the Rev. Wright, "scandal",Obama clarified his position,and he got more popular. posted 04/12/2008 at 19:54:27

RButler and 2cents,you're both full of it.
I'll tell you what happens: Obama says something, it goes in the MSM's ear,they chew it up,reconstruct,re-interpret,and misconstrue it,and then blows it out of their asses for people like you two to comment on.
If there are any "elitists" here, it's the MSM-who would dare to interpret what someone said, to "re-explain" what he said because they think the People are too stupid to know what he "really" meant.
This is in full effect when the POTUS makes a speech and they spend a half-hour telling you what he said and what he meant-WHEN YOU'VE JUST SAT THERE AND WATCHED IT.
What you two need to do is simple: LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS. posted 04/12/2008 at 19:45:58

Obama Triangulates and Won't Go Where Other Great Americans Will on Hamas
Israel can exist-just not on someone else's land. There are Jews who admit that Israel stole the land. Why in the world Israel would decide to plop their State in the middle of people who are supposed to hate them,I have no idea.Please don't bring up any religious document or book-all are written by Man. If there's something in it that they don't like,it is ignored.
MIDDLE EAST PEACE IN ONE EASY STEP: The State of Israel moves. If they are still attacked,then the world will see that it's not because they"stole land",and they would have no problem defending it. Right around the time Ahmedinejad allegedly said that Israel should be wiped off the map, he also suggested that Israel be moved to a European country.It hardly got repeated,because many people would have agreed.Instead,the OTHER quote gained infamy,and now we're on the verge of attacking Iran.,and Israel can use it as an excuse to get more money from the USA. posted 04/11/2008 at 10:12:01

jdm58,you can go back further...if we Westerners hadn't helped get rid of a democratically-elected leader (Mossadegh) in Iran,there likely would have been no Shah,no revolution,no Khomeini,no hostages, no "October Surprise", perhaps even no Iran-Iraq War(we supported evil Saddam,of course)-and we wouldn't be specuilating about war with Iran today.
It's all about who the Enemy is that makes us want to sit at the table. North Korea has nukes pointed at California? Hey, Jongy Baby,let's talk(even though they didn't work). Israel wouldn't allow any talks with Hamas to succeed becasue peace might break out. Then they'd have to give back the billions of dollars we gave 'em.They'd have to stop with the "settlements". They'd have to own up to what they've been doing to the Palestinians and what they did to Lebanon. Talk about the USS Liberty attack might even pop up.
Now you KNOW we can't have THAT!!! So let's keep up the mayhem,folks...war is a heck of a good distraction from any real issues. posted 04/11/2008 at 09:51:38

That's a dumb analogy, nohat...we weren't holding anyone's hand before the 9/11 attacks-no actually, the FBI's hands were being held so they couldn't do their jobs before 9/11. We gave "the hijackers' green lights all the way down the line exactly so we COULD go on the 2001 "Invade and Kill" Tour in Afghanistan and in Iraq in 2003-with our host, Donnie "Rockstar" Rumsfeld , Condi "Concerto in 666 Minor" Rice, and George "The VC Never invaded Texas,Mission Accomplished" Bush.
We should be talking to ISRAEL: "What do you guys DO with the billions in aid we give you without question every year? Why DID you guys attack the USS Liberty?

Tejano1,when the United States drops a bomb on a house and it kills and maims women and children(and men,too)-what do you think the survivors think of US? They say we are a bunch of thugs and killers - but of course, when "WE" do what "THEY" do, we always have some excuse. Hamas will say that they do their dirty work because Israel stole land ; what's our excuse? WMD? Hussein's secret plans to invade the United States? Oil?
At least you acknowledge that the Palestinians VOTED for Hamas to represent them-but I'll tell you what: somewhere in the world,back in 2000 and 2004, someone said the same thing-about "think(ing) a hell of a lot more clearly about who they want representing them"-about US. posted 04/11/2008 at 09:19:44

Is it me, or did the Palestinians have a "free and fair" election - and they voted for Hamas to represent them? Looks like "democracy" only works if people vote for who WE want them to vote for!

Reas.Thought, the only way for them to have a free and peaceful country is for Israel to MOVE SOMEWHERE ELSE.
