For all the parsing of words and bafoonery, the far right has a lot of problems. The economy, Iraq, gas prices, loss of jobs, disgracing our reputation around the world, all of those things have derailed the country and cured an entire generation from ever wanting to be known as Republicans much less vote for them.

I will exam Obama's character, and if that makes me a racist, Then I am proud to be a racist.
I will exam the people who Obama associated with for the past 20 years, and if that makes me a racist, then I am proud to be a racist.
I will exam Obama's policies, political agenda, plans, and when he finally says something other then change, and yes we can ,I will look close and hard at that too, and if that makes me a racist, then I am proud to be a racist.
I will not vote for someone because of or in spite off the color of his/her skin, or out of some misguided guilt feelings that I am supposed to have because some ridiculous people say I should, and attempt to throw out the guilt as if slavery ended yesterday. If that makes me a racist, Then I am proud to be a racist.


Then what your saying is... your are willing to stand in the way of a major historical historical event such as The obama becoming President? Pretty selfish if you ask me.

Ha! Yea - let's talk about "bafoonery"! LOL

Remember the CARTER Presidency?

The economy?

Iran?

Gas Prices?

Loss of Jobs?

Derailing the country?

Disgracing our reputation around the world? Oh wait - he's STILL doing that!

I thought THAT would cure an entire generation from wanting to be known as DEMOCRATS much less vote for them!

^^^ Those things hurt the Dems and gave us mister deficit himself, Reagan. Of course Bush makes Carter and even Nixon look like Ghandi and Mother Teresa.

Swanp hunter, so you're saying that the cons have been trying to emulate Carter all this time. That makes more sence to me now that I know they intentionally wanted the country to fall into turmoil.

Thanks for the link nefarious. That picture is...well Godly.

Wait just a minute - is Bush far right - or is he a neocon? Which IS it?

You can't have it BOTH ways!

If he's a Neocon, then he's a whole lot closer to Jimmy Carter!

Oh yea - that's us on the far right alright - modern day disciples of Jimmy Carter!

You guys are hysterical...

Sorry dude...but, the far right did not cause all that.

Wasteful welfare, not drilling for our own oil and/or not implementing other types of energy, the jobs are out there...(fast food, etc.) but people won't accept those...allowing radicals to bomb us/our interests around the world and not doing anything till Iraq.. disgraced us and gave the opportunity for the bombings previous to 9/11. They tested the Dem. President we had in there and we didn't go after the offenders appropriately...so, when we do, it makes us look like a bully....but, at least we haven't been hit on our soil/our interests again. Other Countries and their interests have been hit..unfortunately though. We are stretched thin now so we can't defend for Others. They will have to do it on their own.

We've taught a whole generation that if you vote Democrat, you will be provided entitlement services, etc. The 'new' Republican I see developing are Neoconservatives as defined in Britannica... not what the Dem. Left want to define it as. They tagged the radical right with the wrong definition.

ecomony...surprised America has done as well as it has will what's going on around the world.

Iraq...fact of life right now...not everyone agrees with each other on that...difference of opinion

gas prices...who doen't want to increase the supply? Check one (the left_ or the right_)There are reasouces we could use. Who's standing in the way?..polar bears?

loss of jobs...could that have something to do with energy?...it's dragging the ecomony down

disgracing our reputation around the world...America is ok...others around the world need to look at what they are doing and fix their problems first. They do have their problems around the world.

One of them Republicans is hanging around the 7-11...probably up to no good for sure.

I wonder how you guys can breathe with your heads always in the sand. If you're happy with the state of our affairs, it's time to come up for air. On second thought, it might be better if you don't.

You realize that the worst terrorist attack on US soil occured on the cons watch right? They had the presidency and both houses of congress. Also, you have no credible information to suggest that the war on Iraq has made us any safer from the terrorist threat. In fact, we have merely emboldened the terrorist, Iran and the negative global opinion of this country. Actually the global opinion is more harsh towards bush and his con cronies. You are familiar with the term "blowback" aren't you? So when we get attacked in the future, I want you to remember how supportive you are in our efforts to breed a whole new generation of terrorists. And always remeber that the worst terrorist attack happened a month after Bush was warned that the attack was to take place.

I'm not a Republican...but I do know for a fact that having one's head in the sand is not an exclusive Republican thing. But would The obama approve of wishing someone would not breathe? Careful The obama might be watching.

Oh please! Would that attack have ever even taken place if CLINTON had taken out Osama when he had the chance?

Uhhhhh NO...

As far as sticking heads in the sand goes - that's EXACTLY what the Democrats want us all to do. Just stick our heads in the sand and pretend that all the bad stuff with go away if we just pull the troops out of Iraq. Then somehow gas prices will go back to normal, our economy will be wonderful, and we won't have to worry about any more terrorists - right? What a joke...

What's really sad though, is the HUGE number of people in this country who will buy that crap... All those millions of people who DID vote for American Idol, but DIDN'T vote in our Presidential Primaries...

To understand Reality, you have to understand the mechanics of things. We were tested over and over under Clinton. AND... during that time, they were training here and other Countries. This did not all of a sudden happen on the Republican watch.

Of course I have no 'credible' info that the war in Iraq has made us any safer ..... other than we/our interests have not been hit again. Odd that the Dem. are saying, we should have gone into Afgh. Duh.. we were already there...with other Countries... we still got hit.

If you want to blame me and other Republicans, etc...for breeding new terrorists and you sleep better knowing that...then fine. Believe what you want.

I'm not saying we need to stay in Iraq forever...but, the Dem. Nominee...Obama has said he will spread our troops around...Other Countries...yet, the Public believes he will bring em home... because that's what he said while on the campaign trail. Course that changed once he gets the nom. AND... remember that Obama is the one who has stated... beyond a doubt... that Iran is a grave..real..threat and he will eliminate that threat. And, Iran is already talking 'blowback' from those comments.

The thing I despise about Republicans is how satisfied they are about what they've done. They've all but ruined a great country but do they regret any of it? Pfft. They gather on message boards and defend it all. Rather than heed their talking points value of accountability they blame everyone else. They deserve to be trounced in November and their heros put in jail.

I recall the republican congress was so driven to impeach Clinton that they discredited his retaliatory bombing attempts as "wagging the dog" and they didn't take bin Laden seriously.

Less than a month after the movie was released, (Wag the Dog) President Bill Clinton was embroiled in a sex scandal arising from his relationship with Monica Lewinsky. Over the course of 1998 and early 1999, as the scandal dominated American politics, the US engaged in three military operations:

Operation Desert Fox, a three-day bombing campaign in Iraq that took place as the U.S. House of Representatives debated articles of impeachment against Clinton
Operation Infinite Reach, a pair of missile strikes against suspected terrorist targets in Sudan and Afghanistan three days after Clinton admitted in a nationally televised address that he had an inappropriate relationship with Lewinsky


Feel free to continue explaining to me how Clinton didn't react. In fact, the Republican led congress didn't like him changing the subject from the "blowjob felt around the world". Republicans played politics and tried to tie Clinton's hands.

Soooo, this means? .....Republicans let him bomb a little bit...but, stopped him from declaring war...yet, the Republicans are known for 'war mongering' people. Which is it? Can't have it both ways... when it's convenient.

No Padawan, it means that cons only like war when it's convenient for them. At the time, the cons were at war with Clinton and didn't care about bin Laden when Clinton was attempting to hit him with a missile. The cons find this information very convenient to forget.

I think the fact that these are serious times is exactly why we need someone like Obama. McCain is more of the same failed policy that we've already got. It's time for something new.

It's offensive to accuse people of voting for Obama because he's black. I'm a white female. I'd have had all the inane reason in the world to go for Hillary, but I choose Obama. I'm the type who looks at plans, not gender or skin color. I could care less about that. I liked Howard Dean last time around. A white dude. I like Obama this time around. A black/white dude. Maybe next time it'll be someone green or purple. I don't care.

.... reading through these posts i see the truth of a comment Thom Hartman made today about Obama being the US's Rorschach inkblot test. people are projecting their best and worst onto the guy since most people really know little about him and what they do know is filtered at best....
