Freerepublic the heart and soul of the republican party.

they're already resorting to the nasty emails. i just got one from a bunch of hoopies up in the etown area stating obama is a muslim and he doesn't recite the pledge of allegiance, etc. these people are something else. they're just too afraid to come out and admit that they won't vote for him because he's black. but if he was on the "R" ticket, they just might.

All of these type of things show me just one thing. They are afraid of him! Very afraid that he just might pull this whole thing off! And by the way the Clinton machine isn't all that bad at this sort of thing either (just to be fair). It's way to early for me to say who I might vote for this Nov. might be a Rep. might be a Dem. depends who the nominees are and their pick for running mate. But I can say this. When the opposing party goes negative (especially when it's total BS) it does sway my opinion, just not in the direction that they wanted.

I watched both debates on Saturday and I thought they were very interesting.
I have to say I was extremely disappointed in John McCain. I've always liked him; he has straddled the isle more than anyone I can think of and has much more foreign affairs experience than the other republicans running but his behavior was immature and appalling. His negative attacks at Mit Romney were just uncalled for and didn't make Mit look bad they made HIM look like a poor sport.

Rudy made a very good point, I thought, in this time of war and the threat of a nuclear attack, he said, the American people can't afford a president without executive experience. Obama and Hillary have never balanced a budget or run a state (or a City) we don't want on the job training he said.

For the Dem's I think Obama came out as the strongest candidate during the debates with Edwards a close second, however I was impressed with Richardson. He has had more experience than I originally thought and has the highest security clearance of all on the stage, which Hillary didn't seem to like because when he said that it was the only time I saw her take some notes.

Obama and Edwards teamed up on Hillary and she didn't like it. She came across as angry and kept saying that she is THE agent for change because of her 35 years of making change but never really said what she has changed. I still have no idea what she has ever done. I mean I know she was a lawyer and was mixed up in a scandal at her firm and then was the first lady and then a senator but what exactly did she do?

They all looked tired except for Edwards he had some energy. He gave an example of something he did do to make change; he work with two other Senators to get the Patients Bill of Rights passed in the Senate. It failed in the House but at least he gave an example of what he did to make change.

Obama talked about how he never voted for the war. He has been against it from the beginning. He didn't vote for the surge, either. He was very poised and focused. I thought he was articulate and outlined his agenda fairly well.

Over all I think the Dems were not as nasty as the repubs but I think the Repubs have more experience except maybe for Richardson.

No one will play the race card………….ah I'm sorry that card has already been played by Ophra Winfrey, the only reason she's backing O bomber is because he's black!



PS the only thing O bomber got going for him is charisma, no experience, no finite plan to fix any of our troubles no nothing of any substance. Don't think it's possible to BS ones way into the White House anymore. The only way the last BSer got in was because of a guy named Ross. No Ross running this time. Sorry!!!



O bomber will self implode like that other Demo ….what was his name?







It will not be the opposing party that goes negitive......trust me, it will be his own party! we aint seen nothing yet!

Gosh, I didn't know that Peroit ran in 2000 .

No one

Since when is experiance the deciding factor? He has alot more than charisma going for him. I guess your just upset that the entire Repub field is a bunch of crazies. Repubs are getting waxed in '08. The only way then can win is if they rig the election, and after the recent convictions of a few republican agents for election tampering, i wouldn't put that past them. I'm sure you voted for GW in '00 and '04. He'd never succeded in anything during his business career, and didn't have much luck in politics either. Did experiance matter to you then??? At least Obama can complete a sentance and sound some-what intelligant doing it. More than i can say for GW.

I'm sorry but if you are going to talk about how some one can "at least" put a sentence together and sound somewhat intelligent then maybe you should spell the words correctly when you are doing it.

PS keep in mind that GW kicked your people's rear ends…twice, even though he is the worst public speaker I ever heard.

Any thoughts, good or bad, on Huckabee?

I'm not the one thats running for prez Hope. But thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure i check your posts now for spelling and grammer.

Post your thoughts and comments about this blog post.

Gil - I am not familiar with this site - how did you find it? Must of looked hard. .

But understand, crackpots are on both sides of the aisle. The site you linked is out there and has no influence.

I wouldn't call '00 and '04 kicking my peoples rear ends. Might want to go check your facts alittle bit there LDB. In 2000 he stole the election, he won in '04 but i wouldn't call it any type of kicking. Plus with all the stuff that happened in Ohio and a few other places you really have to wonder about '04 too.



So if Obama doesn't have a snowballs chance then, I guess you'll be supporting Huckabee? Now theres a real winner. If you don't think Obamas got a chance, might wanna check your boy out real good. They are gonna nail him to the wall, if he gets the nomination.

O boomer doesn't have a snowballs chance in helllll to win the presidency even if he becomes the "media darling". Or even if he is on 200 Ophra Winfrey shows.

If Obama is the Democratic candidate at election time the Repulicans will hold on to the White House.

they're already resorting to the nasty emails. i just got one from a bunch of hoopies up in the etown area stating obama is a muslim and he doesn't recite the pledge of allegiance, etc. these people are something else. they're just too afraid to come out and admit that they won't vote for him because he's black. but if he was on the "R" ticket, they just might.

It is glaringly obvious that both the Republican and Democratic establishment - and their candidates - are scared shirtless about Barack Obama.

NONE of them know how to deal with a candidate who comes from outside the political establishment which has consumed BOTH mainstream political parties.

That is why he's being attacked from all sides.

The WORST thing that could happen to the political establishment is for the general election to be between an establishment candidate vs. an outsider. In this current political climate, the outsider is guaranteed to have the upper hand.

Help me out here Artie - what makes him an 'outsider'?

Chuck is now an outspoken Christian. Check out his book The Justice Riders and he serves on the board of NCBCPS, an organization the promotes the use of the Bible and prayer in public schools. He also publicly states he believes in creationism. :ohmy:

Norris quote from October, 2007:
""I believe the only one who has all of the characteristics to lead America forward into the future is ex-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee."

That was sort of my point, to generalize and say Ophra Winfrey is promoting Obama simply because they are both black is just as ignorant as suggesting Norris is doing the same.

You sure don't know much about Ophra, she is very much pro African American, (Racist) she many like O boomer regardless of color but she is stomping for him because he's black.

[size="3"]She said herself that ordinarily she doesn't back political candidates……I guess she just couldn't help herself?

You know, I come from good stock. Dr. Swygert was mentioning my grandmother who had a dream for me. And her dream was not a big dream. Her dream was that one day I could grow up -- she used to say, I want you to grow up and get yourself some good white folks, because my grandmother was a maid and she worked for white folks her whole life.

And her idea of having a big dream was to have white folks who at least treated her with some dignity, who showed her a little bit respect. And she used to say, I want you to -- I hope you get some good white folks that are kind to you. And I regret that she didn't live past 1963 to see that I did grow up and get some really good white folks working for me.

A very racist statement, one that she would never tolerate.

Oprah winfrey's commencement address at Howard University on May 12, 2007. I heard the actual tape, and it was even worse then can be printed. A very racist statement, one that she would never tolerate.

Sorry, but none of them are true outsiders. All of them, and all of them in the past, talk about changing things. How many truly do? Unless we have an overthrow of the entire government, things are not going to change. I'll bet Obama's phone is ringing of the hook with a ton of insiders offering to be his new best friend. Many thought Bush was an outsider (at least from DC) however he surrounded himself with insiders. Look how that turned out. Maybe a little 'fire and brimstone' would do this country some good!

Thanks, I will check it out later in the spring.

Right now buried in tax code! Gotta love our government!!

We're not living in the days of Oprah's grandma. How convienient of you to apply contemporary morals to a woman who probably grew up in the great depression era.

Why don't you go whine somewhere else stew. Funny you talk about racisit statements but dropped the n-word on a blog yesterday. Little hypocritical don't ya think? But then again i don't expect anything less from someone who has a crying baby as their icon. Then you !profanity! and moan about Carvilles comments.
