Dear John Everdumb : Do you really think anybody read your post ? Please tell me what you know about the suit filed in district court in Minn. against your hero Pinocchio Hussein Obama , Axelrod and Howard Dean. I might even read your post this time. The wheels are falling off as we script, little Johnny Everdumb.

Don B:

Can you provide a link to this story to which you're referring? What is the substance of this suit?

At least we know where he stands on the snot issue. Hillary would be afraid to offend the snot lobby and McCain would boast that he'll spend 100 years getting rid of it.

Sure can B.C.
You can read it yourself, i believe it's an intimidation suit i.e. they're trying to shut him up, kind of like the "Bimbo squad" from that last great Democratic admin.

Donny Osmond,

You see, that's the great thing about America, even mentally challenged people like you and "Larry Sinclair" can file a lawsuit.

...and all of this all so typical and ordinary swiftboat garbage from the Republic Party minions (Don B) is supposed to make me want to vote for John McCain/Bush how?

NEXT!

But I'm sure it was a very hopeful honk into the hankie. It inspired me to blow my own nose.

Posted by: John E | February 20, 2008 3:50 PM

John E... someone that doesn't agree with you isn't dumb... its called a difference of opinion and you're not always right. Check yourself.

I checked the link posted; the most credible citation in it was of the National Enquirer, and it reported the discredited John Edwards' love child story.

I appreciated the list of actual positions Obama has held. It says a lot that his detractors can only cite 3rd degree slander.

When speaking of the mindless ness of diehard Obama supporters, it should always be accompanied by the fact that 3 out of 10 Americans think George W. Bush is doing a good job as president. To me, even 30 percent is some hard-core mindless devotion...

Donny B's source is a right wing blog that has advertisements for a video showing a "radical" Barack Obama and a link to read Ann Coulter's column for free.

And if this is such a big deal, why hasn't Drudge picked up on it??

Just like the Cuban flag in Obama's Texas Headquarters.

wow John E thanks for all the info on Obama. fantastic. He will win. How anyone could consider voting for McCain is frighting and quite sad. I can say this as an Ex Republican myself, who had the misguided I-worked-hard-to-make-my money-so-screw-you attitude. Even though the Republicans spend more and have bigger deficits, plus start ridiculous wars, under the pathetic guise of "freedom". Oh I so look forward to November.

And if this is such a big deal, why hasn't Drudge picked up on it??

Oh i guess your right BobinATL I'm sure district judges in Minn. have nothing better to do than write up harassment suits against Obama, Axelrod, and Mr. Dean for no reason at all. The suit is out there, you can see it with your own two eyes if you wish the truth. So the fact that this guy files a suit against THESE three men doesn't throw up a red flag to you?

They also cheer when Hanna Montana blows her nose!....same crowd...same mentality!!!

Drew You didn't go to the site, the National Enquirer isn't mentioned at all, but the federal lawsuit transcript is. No wonder you like Obama, your both liars.

"I'm sure district judges in Minn. have nothing better to do than write up harassment suits against Obama, Axelrod, and Mr. Dean for no reason at all."

Don B, are you really that ignorant?

The judge didn't "write up" the suit. The slimeball Sinclair did, and filed it with the court. Anyone can file a suit at any time. The filing of the suit proves nothing.

Until then, here's your Republic Party bozo button award for the dumbest Obama allegation of the day:

Obama, Obama, ma, ma, ma, what's the fuzz about this man? Have we lost sight of the real issues? This guy is a good actor and have a big herd willing to gamble this election. The sad part is that we all know that Hillary is the brainy one but lacks the charm that Bush and Obama possess. I hope Texas and Ohio won't fall into this Obama trap and elect Hillary who is smarter than all of the candidates put together.

This article shows quite clearly the intelligence of Obama's supporters. God help us all.

Larry Siclair has no credibilty because of his past drug and alcohol abuse, that's why it's not getting any media play.

Hmmm, and yet there's Obama, with his history of drug abuse, getting plenty of media play, eh?

All of the "Hope" and "Change" that Obama provides will come directly out of the wallet of people that get up and go to work, play by the rules and want to have a better life. Those that think they are owed something simply because they exist will certainly run out to vote for his socialist agenda.

They were just applauding his grasp of the tissues.

/GObama!

That list of what Senator Obama supports would make Karl Marx proud...this guy is a more appealling Hillary Clinton.

That list is quite extensive (and expensive). Is there any group he doesn't pander to. I'm wondering if he is intentionally snubbing cancer patients by not coming up with a cure. What does he have against those poor people?

I would never elect someone who won't even salute our American flag. He sickens me everytime I see him on TV. Vote for McCain instead.

I have found a real life right wing blog. So many Obama haters its funny. How about when McCain fell last night after making his acceptance speech to taking the torch from GWB

Obama08

Remove incentives for people to enter this country illegally.
Crack down on employers who hire illegal immigrants.

2 lines on illegal immigration? It's easy to be idealistic, but what has he actually done?

All politicians talk, so the best thing to go on is their record. Obama doesn't have much of one yet.

John E.,

Most people realize Obama does have substance...it's just that it's really bad substance. Your enormously long list attests to that. Do you ever ask yourself "wow...this is a lot of stuff...I wonder how he will pay for it all?" The fact is most of it is pandering and won't get done. The other answer is that he's jacking up six different taxes. Raising taxes on the so-called rich might make you smile and make us feel better (yay, sticking it to the rich), but taking free capital out of the hands of the people who expand and grow businesses and employ people is the worst possible thing you can do to an economy. Low taxes allow for growth and employment. Obama's plans will strangle growth. You can't "protect" american jobs. People need to adapt. Manufacturing jobs are being lost because we are not competitive compared to manufacturing in foreign markets. Protectionism never works...it didn't work for Nixon or Carter and it won't work for Obama. NAFTA has been great...not necessarily for all workers, but in the long run free trade benefits everyone provided they can adapt to the market and work hard.

To John E: May I simplify your BO position statement?: Expand government's size & control and raise taxes. Thank you.

How long until that tissue makes it to ebay?

Obama blows snot and his worshipers swoon. Great. Liberals whine and cry about Bush, but they're so willing to vote for the Liberal version of what they see in him...no experience, no plan, govern-by-poll, campaign by nice-sounding but empty words. Swell, 4 more years of watching America turn into a socialist state. The only fun in all this is watching the liberal idiots turn on their once-great champions, Sir Bill the Impeached and his hideous wife. Too bad they're going to ruin the country in the process. Liberalism is a mental disorder. Grown adults whining and crying for the government to take care of you. Russia tried this once in 1917. How'd that work out? The democrats could have done much better than sticking 2 socialists at the top of the list. But take heart fair liberals, you get 2 democrats to pick from in the general election...Obama and McCain.

Obama is by far the best representative of the country in terms of charisma and compassion. However, to see so many people put their hopes in someone else is quite disturbing. Sad really. Your life gets better through hard work and education. I started with nothing, that doesn't mean I don't intend to give back. I just don't want Uncle Sam to do it for me. That is the liberal docterine. Rely on the government to make things better. Unfortunately, true republicanism is dead, too. There is no such thing as "small government" anymore.
I am off to Singapore and Hong Kong to rediscover the joys of free market. When I get back I'm sure our unemployment will be closing in on Europe's. Can't wait.

Bellichick/Brady '08!

Probably the most intellgent thing that cane out of his head all year.

The libs were probably fighting over the Kleenex from the "Great One".

Observing Bill Clinton's almost daily petulant temper tantrums when an audience member expresses support for the Obama candidacy suggests that Slick is very close to loosing it. The "serial groper" is unable to accept the fact that he's trying to peddle a defective product; i.e. Hillary. This is a woman who hasn't managed so much as a corner vegetable stand, or for that matter her own marriage; but, of course you could count Whitewater, and her tenure as "Madam" for Bill's White House Brothel. So what possibly is there that qualifies Bill's official "Bimbo Containment Chief" for the Presidency? Further, Hillary's increasingly frequent crying jags raises a legitimate concern about her mental stability. But, having meticulously planned their coveted return to the White House for several years now, the Clintons will certainly not exit the scene with grace or dignity. This is the political duo that honed "The Politics Of Personal Destruction" into an artform; and, most certainly will not tolerate, who is in their mind, the "upstart Obama" to derail Hillary's pre-choreographed coronation. Greg Neubeck

Jim Jones-esque.

Hey, John E., like the "Obamination" running for president, YOU TALK TO MUCH!!! Just because your mouth has the runs, it doesn't make you smart, or right.

Barrack Hussein Obama is an empty suit. He may be ready for prime time in four, eight, or twelve years. And John E, thank you for the copy and paste from the Obama website. *swoons and near faints*

The judge didn't "write up" the suit.
Posted by: Luke | February 20, 2008 6:21 PM

Luke: Did you happen to notice the judges signature...that kind of makes it legitimate and legal. I'm sure the judge felt there is some credence to the complaint or he wouldn't signed off on it. If you think it's that easy to file a federal harassment suit against those three men and have a judge sign off on it , your dreaming pal. Obviously you were to lazy to look at the document.

At least he is being honest. The socialist Obama wants to eliminate the poor by taxing the "rich"---those who make over 75,000 a year. Now, families with incomes of 50k don't pay much in taxes--about 4% of the total. Families earning 200,000 a year---about the top 2% of wage-earners---pay 40% of the total tax bill. Obama is a socialist--like Hillary--and wants a giant middle class, with no rich or poor. Those that work will support those that stay home and collect. If he gets elected, I will retire from my CEO job. I paid over 300,000 in taxes last year. That will stop. I will get on the gravy train, sell my houses and cars---and sit on my ass and eat bon bons like the laze-bags he attracts. Socialism sucks, except for those who have nothing to offer society.

BTW, nice office decoration in Obama's office. Cuban Flag and Che's photo. Sweet. Real sweet.

So the conservatives make a valid point and John E disappears... typical liberal.

The people following and supporting Obama are treating this election like American Idol. What a shame. How shallow & unimformed.

What a list! Why not add walk on water?

Wow John, I've never seen that many unconstitutional proposals from one presidential candidate.

Hey John E., your list ought to be re- titled as such: "Sen. Barak Obama's Positions or Even More Reasons Not to Vote For Him."

Grad. of Columbia University and Harvard Law School. Community organizer. Civil rights lawyer. 1997- 2004: Illinois Senate member. Elected to U.S. Senate -2004. On the Senate Committees for Foreign Relations; Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; and Veterans' Affairs, and Congressional Black Caucus.109th Congress: Coburn-Obama Transparency Act. In 2005, he co-sponsored the "Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act" Introduced "Lugar Obama Act." 110th Congress: Worked with Russ Feingold to create the "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act" Helped sponsor S. 453, a bill to criminalize deceptive practices in federal elections. Sponsored the "Iraq War De-Escalation Act", Co-sponsored an amendment to the 2008 Defense Authorization Act.He sponsored the "Iran Sanctions Enabling Act" A provision from the Obama-Hagel bill was passed by Congress in December 2007 as an amendment to the State-Foreign Operations appropriations bill. Obama also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)to provide one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat-related injuries. As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, Russia, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan. The trip focused on strategies to control the world's supply of conventional weapons, biological weapons, and weapons of mass destruction as a first defense against potential terrorist attacks. Following meetings with U.S. military in Kuwait and Iraq in January 2006, Obama visited Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian territories. At a meeting with Palestinian students two weeks before Hamas won the legislative election, Obama warned that "the U.S. will never recognize winning Hamas candidates unless the group renounces its fundamental mission to eliminate Israel." He left for his third official trip in August 2006, traveling to South Africa, Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Chad.

How about Obama's other positions?
.
Supports AFTER birth abortions - ie, just let the child die on the countertop
.
and supports a UN tax on the US to "end worldwide poverty". The Great Society did such a wonderful job of ending poverty in our country, they decided to take it worldwide.
.
What a maroooooon

John E's list of stupendous things Barack Hussein Obama will do for our nation is very impressive. But it troubled me that John E. didn't include his including Obama's curing cancer and giving all of us elderly free viagra and free champagne. Obama will also save the Ozone Hole and finally begin global cooling. Such inneptitude!

What, no one fainted?

obama is a u.n. hack, in case no one has heard,mr. obama ben laden has usherd through the senate a bill that would put the united states directly under the u.n., invalidate the constitution and put the world court as the law of the land over our own supreme court, and besides that, obama is pretty much a bore.

Obama is the best candidate in this presidential race. hillary is too boring. I vote for Obama!

Obama 2008!

Hey John E get a life.

What a bunch of idiots....This just proves how naive and obviously unintelligent folks are...

Fainting at Obama rallies, clapping when he blows his knows, screaming when he says absolutely nothing,...geesh...sounds like these folks have been drinking too much of the Lib Kool-aid!

Hey John:
Have you realized yet, oil would not be $100 a barrel and you would be paying less than $3.00 a gallon for gas if Obama would have supported opening ANWR...and yes it could have been done with less environmental damage than the ethonal con game being bought into..

so, you're listening to a speech and the guy who's talking is so sick he has to step away and blow his nose. what are you going to do? sit there and pick yours? you clap. awkwardly. that's just what you'd do. you'd do it for mccain, you'd do it for W, you'd do it for hillary, you'd do it for bubba. enough with the `cult of personality' BS. people like him. some like him for his issues, some like him for the way he reaches out to people. nothing wrong with that. maybe you don't like him as much as some others do. nothing wrong with that either. but if your only criticism against a guy running for president is that people like him too much, you ain't got much to stand on, do you? also, this BS guy who talks about a suit in Minnesota. i've seen him on a million comment boards. total slimy backstabbery jibberish.

Why, Obama is even more wonderful than John E. thinks - During his speech yesterday, he promised everyone who has health insurance a $2,500 dollar reduction in premiums. He said he will solve our energy dependence and make the terrorists in the Middle East hold hands and sing Kumbiya. He will give us all "free" healthcare, cure diseases and bring eyesight to the blind. My god, he gets my vote for sure.

Obama blows his nose, and the Obama audience applauds????

That says a lot about the mindlessness of Obama-nuts.

Wait...someone else said that too...oh well, if Obama can steal other folks lines, I guess I can too....lol (go McCain!)

I was at the Rally today in Dallas. Obama started it off by saying he had a head cold but would push through it. In the middle of his speech he had to stop and blow his nose - everyone laughed and clapped because it was a funny awkward moment for a stump speech in front of more than 17,000 people. Nothing more, nothing less…

Saying everyone cheered him for his nose blowing isn’t close to being accurate.

That is a LONG laundry list of social programs and big government! Who is going to pay for it? The USA is broke..can't you liberals figure this out? Ron Paul has been trying to tell you for years.. WHO is going to pay for all this???

"Cult of Personality Cult of Per-son-ality" - Living Color

BTW, if Obama is supposed to be for that huge list of items *his advisors came up with and posted on his web site* perhaps Obama should visit the website once in a while. That way, he might actually say some of that stuff in his speeches.

Hahaha! That's exactly what we need. More government. Wake up people! Get your heads out of your arses!

Hey John E....are you really serious about that big list? Isn't there somewhere you can go to get help for your delusions? By the way, global warning is a myth (that means it's a lie in case you don't understand complicated words)

Hillary recently said that the people supporting Obama are nothing but Blind Followers. This is a person running for the highess office in the land and already calling the American people names. This was an insult to myself as well as the people supporting there candidate.

Hey John E,
Thanks for listing all the programs obama wants to fund & support, b/c its hell of a lot more than he has revealed. Thats exactly why we don't want him for C&C. Its too much government. Have you realized that government cannot solve everything. In fact, everytime government becomes increasingly involved in the day-to-day affairs of people, things get worst. How is he going to cut taxes by $1,000 for every family and fund all these programs? Don't tell me he'll get it by retreating from Iraq. He already vowed he'll hunt al-queda wherever it is, & al-queda is in Iraq. Maybe obama doesn't keep-up with current affairs, but there is an al-queda in iraq. If we leave iraq, al-queda in Iraq will gain strength. Then using "baracks" policy of fighting al-queda wherever it is, we would have to move back into a more dangerous Iraq, which means more american dead.
Hey John E, pull your head out.

John Es list of communist/socialist positions that Mr. Obama holds tells us all we need to know about this candidate.

Obama sounds like something Tarzan would say to keep the animals back: "Obama! Obama!", and all the animals turn around and silently leave...

Obama running for President! THE USHERS ARE NOW RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!

Change is all he talks about: "Change to SOMETHING...Change to something different, I don't know..."

Very compelling....

Obama’s Global Tax Proposal Up for Senate Vote
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/1878

2008 Presidential Candidate Spending Analyses http://www.ntu.org/main/page.php?PageID=141

Sen. Barack Obama is very gloomy about America, and he’s aligning himself with the liberal wing of the Democratic party in hopes of coming to the nation’s rescue. His proposal? Big-government planning, spending, and taxing — exactly what the nation and the stock market do not want to hear.

Obama unveiled much of his economic strategy in Wisconsin this week: He wants to spend $150 billion on a green-energy plan. He wants to establish an infrastructure investment bank to the tune of $60 billion. He wants to expand health insurance by roughly $65 billion. He wants to “reopen” trade deals, which is another way of saying he wants to raise the barriers to free trade. He intends to regulate the profits for drug companies, health insurers, and energy firms. He wants to establish a mortgage-interest tax credit. He wants to double the number of workers receiving the earned-income tax credit and triple this benefit for minimum-wage workers.

The Obama spend-o-meter is now up around $800 billion. And tax hikes on the rich won’t pay for it. It’s the middle class that will ultimately shoulder this fiscal burden in terms of higher taxes and lower growth.

This isn’t free enterprise. It’s old-fashioned-liberal tax, spend, and regulate. It’s plain ol’ big government. The only people who will benefit are the central planners in Washington.

Obama would like voters to believe that he’s the second coming of JFK. But with his unbelievable spending and new-government-agency proposals he’s looking more and more like Jimmy Carter. His is a “Grow the Government Bureaucracy Plan,” and it’s totally at odds with investment and business.

Obama says he wants U.S. corporations to stop “shipping jobs overseas” and bring their cash back home. But if he really wanted U.S. companies to keep more of their profits in the states he’d be calling for a reduction in the corporate tax rate. Why isn’t he demanding an end to the double-taxation of corporate earnings? It’s simple: He wants higher taxes, too.

The Wall Street Journal’s Steve Moore has done the math on Obama’s tax plan. He says it will add up to a 39.6 percent personal income tax, a 52.2 percent combined income and payroll tax, a 28 percent capital-gains tax, a 39.6 percent dividends tax, and a 55 percent estate tax.

Not only is Obama the big-spending candidate, he’s also the very-high-tax candidate. And what he wants to tax is capital.

Doesn’t Obama understand the vital role of capital formation in creating businesses and jobs? Doesn’t he understand that without capital, businesses can’t expand their operations and hire more workers?

Dan Henninger, writing in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal, notes that Obama’s is a profoundly pessimistic message. “Strip away the new coat of paint from the Obama message and what you find is not only familiar,” writes Henninger. “It’s a downer.”

Obama wants you to believe that America is in trouble, and that it can only be cured with a big lurch to the left. Take from the rich and give to the non-rich. Redistribute income and wealth. It’s an age-old recipe for economic disaster. It completely ignores incentives for entrepreneurs, small family-owned businesses, and investors. You can’t have capitalism without capital. But Obama would penalize capital, be it capital from corporations or investors. This will only harm, and not advance, opportunities for middle-class workers.

Obama believes he can use government, and not free markets, to drive the economy. But on taxes, trade, and regulation, Obama’s program is anti-growth. A President Obama would steer us in the social-market direction of Western Europe, which has produced only stagnant economies down through the years. It would be quite an irony. While newly emerging nations in Eastern Europe and Asia are lowering the tax penalties on capital — and reaping the economic rewards — Obama would raise them. Low-rate flat-tax plans are proliferating around the world. Yet Obama completely ignores this. American competitiveness would suffer enormously under Obama, as would job opportunities, productivity, and real wages.

Imitate the failures of Germany, Norway, and Sweden? That’s no way to run economic policy.

I have so far been soft on Obama this election season. In many respects he is a breath of fresh air. He’s an attractive candidate with an appealing approach to politics. Obama is likeable, and sometimes he gets it — such as when he opposed Hillary Clinton’s five-year rate-freeze on mortgages.

But his message is pessimism, not hope. And behind the charm and charisma is a big-government bureaucrat who would take us down the wrong economic road.

John E. might be the biggest loser ever. not only that he had to be one of the ppl cheering when obama blew his nose

could the Obama fans please stop spamming the board? It's not terribly appropriate to call the "right wingers" mouth breathers and knuckle draggers. I'm sure similar invective aimed at other groups groups (jews, african americans) would allowed through the comment screen.

It's a shame that this has turned into a rock-star like fad. But I like Obama anyway.

Obama supporters are Thick as a double ditch! this is hadly news...but funny

Government is here to protect its citizens from external threats, and deliver mail.
The Idea that government must protect its citzens from their own actions is absurd.
Walk in a get a payday loan, pay credit card rates for money, well you are just stupid!
Obama is just a "Govenment is the asnwer" guy. If government is the Answer IT must be a stupid Question!
Government destroys damn near every thing it touches.
I lived in New Orleans. Over 40 years I watched Government take more and more control until it killed a beautful city.
PITY!

John E(gomaniac). Seriously, are you a total cretin? Thanks for wearing out the scroll button on my mouse. I didn't read past the second line of your totally useless post. Just another liberal forcing his crap down everyone's throats. You make it too easy.

Obama is a joke. A trend. A new icon for the hipsters. That's why every snotty teenager likes to just mention the name Obamam (watch american idol even) because it makes him feel "cool". The fact is that this guy stands for nothing. He has no experience, will bankrupt the country and destroy our security. That's usually when morons like you distance themselves from your beloved politicians and claim to never have even heard of them. You know, the same way all you die hard 90's Clintonites are doing when you hear the name "Hilary".

Losers!

Thanks John E.
These are the talking points needed to defeat this America-hating, empty-suit, Socialist, friend of global terrorists.

Obama is America's final reaction to 9-11. If we just do things different, leave Iraq, engage Iran, be nicer through socialism, and prove we aren't racists the Muslims will leave us alone and realize how nice we are.

Islam may well strike this country again and oddly enough electing Obama makes it all the more likely.

Obama is in effect a new kind of Stockholm Syndrome which can be dubbed the Stockholm Candidate.

Why else would change be so important in his campaign? In reality he is really saying "I'll make the Muslims like us. I was born into a Muslim family they will accept me."

None of this accuses Obama of being the secret Mus-churian Candidate, he is not, he is just the one they'd most approve of.

Wake up America and say thanks but no thanks to Obama.

Ha ha! Obama Kool-Aid drinkers!

"Hey look! He's wiping his nose, just like I want the Goobermint to do for me - and for my rear! Yeah! I'm voting for Obama! I want free nose and butt care!"

This is the mentality of the wacko-weirdo left - to be wards of the state, to surrender their individuality to rock star Obama. What a joke. You ding-dongs are caught up in a religious fervor over this 2/7 term US Senator.

John E's laundry list found here, too.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=106x31695

I'm seriously disappointed. I thought he typed this all on his own.

John E,

Whats obama gonna do on his second day in office?

Vote for me, I sound good on a teleprompter, I am photogenic, and I will raise your taxes while making you feel good about yourself.

Looks like the godless Left finally has found its very own Christ figure.

Too bad the NYSLIME wants to stab everyone in the back to engineer its favorite pick of the day into office. Maybe they can forge some fake documents between McRINO and his girl-friend. yeah thats the ticket...

No real opposition on anything that Obama says or does. Like his refusing to salute the flag during the pledge of allegiance. Does anyone out there care about that, or is basic patriotism out of fashion with the Left ?

What does this say about the lack of intelligence among Obama supporters. To DEMs, Government is God and Obama is its savior.

Hey, John E., like the "Obamination" running for president, YOU TALK TO MUCH!!! Just because your mouth has the runs, it doesn't make you smart, or right.

Is that the best you've got?

Ugh. This whole meme about Obama supporters being over the top is really starting to annoy me. Yeah, clapping for someone blowing his nose is silly. But why does everybody feel the need to disparage the idea that people actually feel inspired by a politician? I think that there are lots of us Obama supporters who are pretty clear eyed about Obama but really do appreciate a leader who can inspire people to engage in politics again. I don't know about most of you but I have been sitting out of the whole political discussion for years now, disgusted by the bitter, partisan nature of it all (kind of like what goes on here in the comments). The only way we're coming out of it is through leadership focused on the idea that we all have a lot more in common than our politics would lead us to believe. (Don't call me a plaigarist ;-) I got that from Obama.)

Obama is the pied piper and the stupid libsheep...well you get the picture, even though they don't.

"They were just applauding his grasp of the tissues."

Great pun, "Humble Genius"! Nyuck, nyuck. (Doesn't look like anyone else caught it??)

Oh my, this "comprehensive" list from the hyperventilating John E. is almost laughable if it weren't so filled with generalizations, vague references, politically slanted opinion masquerading as fact, and outright lies. Did you get that from some moonbat Dem website, or from some bitter, socially-retarded college professor? You can attribute the majority of those broad statements to any candidate, and indeed anyONE. Typical of the cultist propaganda that these fainting dingbat supporters of Obama fall for. And how do we pay for all this mana from heaven? How do we specifically implement much of what you spewed forth? Want to make him supreme ruler, like Stalin? The few points this brainwashed, Che Guevera shirt wearing moron actually made that involved specifics, like the rare votes that Obama actually cast on legislation, are typical far-left position issues, hardly without controversy or debate. Nice try John E. Go play your propaganda to the other hormonal idiots you hang with

Obama's voting record:

Voted FOR the USA PATRIOT Act

Voted FOR funding the Iraq war

You really think this man will pull our troops out? Please...

The Obama craziness is insane. People think that he is a rock star but the reality is that as president you need experience not popularity. If Obama is the nominee, McCain will sure win in November and the Dems will spend the next 4 years blaming themselves just as it happened in 2004. Obama would be a good VP choice but he is not ready for prez. Clinton/Obama would be a winning ticket but the dems are too divided to grasp this. So sad!

Hey John E. how much would all those socialist welfare state hand outs cost?
