O.K. Well why dont you be a doll and explain just how you came to this conclusion and why instead of calling a bush a tree simply cuz you dont like bushes.

You know, I know this sounds contrite, but I am an expert on economics, I know it sounds like a broken recored, but the crap the right wing puts out simply ISN'T true. I can place all of the facts I want in here, but I end up just wasting my time and effort, because it won't sway you, you would still believe the spin.

So, when you have done several years of reasearch and worked for a Senator who sits on Ways and Means or Appropriations, then well talk. . .

Can't win on issues, so spread lies instead, how proud you must be!


That’s just an excuse when you don't have anything relevant to say.

re:""""Ultra left wing? National healthcare has been on the table for over a decade, midway through the clinton administration. Frankly if you think the people they've ran from 2000-2008 are ultra left wing, you obviously belong in the Republican party, after all these people were not significantly to the left of Clinton."""

It's actually been on and off the radar since the 1920's.

It's been around a long, long time.

First, the docs opposed it, now they're on board. Now, it's the insurance companies, because they will close their shirts.

Relevent? Of course not. I've just never debated politics with someone who has the Lord of Hosts on speed-dial, and Fox News on her Blackberry. And uses both to battle us poor liberals.

Had this argument today with a coworker. . .

Abortion is always railed against by the Rs, yet, they don't care if 18,000 Americans die every year from lack of healthcare! Why is that? Because they profit from the 18k?

If they really cared about human life, they would act much differently towards their fellow human beings.

600,000 innocent Iraqis wouldn't just be a statistic to them.

They want to prevent abortion, but the have bloodlust for adults. There's your Christian values!

Apologist: "Yeah, like I'm likely to get the straight story from Obama's own lips err..pen.
Really, folks, we shouldn't be so naive."
....
"When calling a man out on his facts, it is customary to provide evidence to the contrary."

Ok.... then, please, provide evidence to the contrary for your above claims about Obama.

After having heard Obama make countless statements during interviews, upon question, that totally contradict other statements made in his speeches, I think there's a snowballs chance in hell that he is the actual writer of his own stuff.


This is out of control (not to mention highly ironic). Are you serious? Are you talking about his books?

Very well.
Obama has claimed to be a man of God. "I am a Christian", he has said more than once.
Yet he has voted against the ban on partial-birth abortion, a medical procedure that breaks a perfectly healthy newborns neck at birth.
He has voted against a bill that would make it illegal for Md's to allow a baby that survived after such a horrible procedure to die in a trash can, without medical care.

Evidence to the contrary at your service. Next.

^^^The fact that you don't understand Obama's position on late-term abortion (or the issue itself) aside, what does this have to do with YOUR claim that he's not truly the author of his own books?

Obama's Administration??????
Since we are going ahead of time, why not make a few threads like...

Obama's hemorrhoid
Obama's days in nursing home
McCain's Alzheimer
Obama's Erectile Dysfunction (for McCain it'll be current event)

I did research both McCain and Obama on partial birth abortion. Both took the same stand that abortions are for rape, incest and to protect the life of the mother. They have the same position. Both speak of beginning a dialog on the topic.

Obama's position on the partial birth abortion bill was that it did not have a provision to protect the health of the mother. Give him one that protects the mother. After al, that would be the Christian thing to do.

ps. McCain waffled on what he would do if his daughter wanted an abortion and sounded quite pro-choice about it, actually.

Who are you to say he's not a Christian? Is he picking these women up to bring them to the clinic? Is he impregnating them himself and paying for their abortions? No. He has said he doesn't like it, wishes it were not the sad reality that it is....but that he is not the one to change the constitution. And for you to think or say that he is not a Christian just because he doesn't think the same way you do is "evidence to the contrary at your service". Next.

em.....a bit of a runaway train this thread is.
Nevertheless, I will attempt to steer it back on course. If Obama does become president, I would too like to see him pick the best person for the jobs in his cabinet, not the best democrat. I have no expectation that that will happen, but it's nice to think about.

Hitler was Catholic. Funny, he had a different life value than most do too.

^^ Not quite sure where the heck you were going with that one, but I was pointing out the irony of judgmental attitudes.....reminds me of my oft posted favorite quote from Ghandi...."I like your Christ but dislike your Christians...they are so unlike your Christ". (paraphrased because I didn't feel like googling).

Barbe, I don't doubt for a second that Obama would pick someone on the other side of the aisle for his cabinet. He does have a lot of respect from his peers in the Senate on both sides and has been known to work with both sides. Plus, he's a progressive thinker and not closed minded. And from the things he was saying during the speech last night about how we really can come to agreements on things such as abortion and gun control, I bet he's actually planning on it. I hope Michelle has the new China pattern all picked out, so she can get right to work too as soon as they move in. :)

I got one: John Fitzgerald for Attorney General. He has some unfinished business to attend to.

Hi Karma, Missed ya. Where ya been?

Sorry if I was not speaking clearly. My point is, how can Obama truly claim to be Christian, but yet not do all in his power (ie: even if it's just only voting on a couple of bills) to stop murder going on?

To quote Obama from his acceptance speech:

"And for the sake of our economy, our security, and the future of our planet, I will set a clear goal as President: in ten years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East."

I heard that and wondered how in the hell he was going to do that and then I remembered that his sugar daddy, George Soros, just invested $811 million in an Oil company in Brazil. This Obama guy is a shady character to say the least.

Actually.........what convinced me that Obama's a pretty shady guy was a frog chirping "vote for the BOOBS....Obama doesn't have any..." on my front porch. But that coulda just been a kick ass batch o' weed........tough to say. My sense while in that euphoric fog was that the frog seemed to have more relevance then Soros' investment in.....whatever.
Okay then!!! Back to the soaps for this girl!!!!
