		<description>Monkeyhawk, Barack HUSSEIN Obama has already said only judges who favor unlimited abortion will be nominated to federal judgeships. Wow, he really wants a judiciary that looks like America, considering that only half the electorate AT MOST supports the pro-murder position. 

Your talking points post is a joke. Barack HUSSEIN Obama is not a consensus builder. He is a divider who will ruthlessly punish anyone who opposes him. Barack HUSSEIN Obama is an empty suit which stands for nothing until he is elected, and then he will reveal his radically liberal agenda which would make Lenin proud.</description>

What part of &lt;i&gt;&quot;This is not an argumentative piece, intended to persuade. It’s just why this one particular writer within this community supports Barack Obama for President, and has since 2006,&quot;&lt;/i&gt; did you not understand?

I have no appetite for getting in a pissing match tonite.</description>

		<description>Hey, you have absolutely NOTHING to worry about, ICTisInferior!  Senator Obama will not be the only name on the ballot and you get to choose who you vote for.  Calm down.  No one will force you to vote for the winner.</description>

		<description>What does Barack HUSSEIN Obama stand for besides that one word he keeps uttering? I&#039;m sick and tired of hearing the word CHANGE. Does he stand for something else? Oh yeah, I know what Barack HUSSEIN Obama stands for: ridiculously high taxes, unlimited abortion, cut and run in Iraq, cutting off support for Israel, gay marriage, socialized medicine, and taxes on oil companies which will push gas to $6 a gallon by this time next year. Yeah, you love Barack HUSSEIN Obama so much, go ahead and vote for this left-wing demagogue. You have a choice...vote for McCain and keep hope, or push the nuclear button for Barack HUSSEIN Obama and see how far this country falls on its face. Osama bin Laden and his minions want you to. The ghost of Saddam Hussein wants you to. Kim Jong-Il wants you to. Hamas wants you to. Every America-hating Iranian wants you to. The Ohio carpetbagger masquerading as Kansas&#039; governor wants you to.</description>

		<description>CF2K regurgitates,
&quot;their only card is to go as racist as possible at Obama and hope something sticks. Again, kind of like all the shit we saw Boxlicker throw at the wall the other day.

Ha....it must have stuck!  Thanks glad to know it did.</description>

		<description>I know, Chas.  But I still had to bite my tongue.  He really is a good man.  He is my uncle, my elder, he deserves my respect in many many ways.  I can&#039;t trust myself to be kind if I begin addressing such ignorance.

At another time he spouted off about bush inheriting whatever it was from Clinton.  Again, I didn&#039;t listen well enough to hear the details.  Gotta guard against being disrespectful -- my Mother might still turn me over her knee!  Anyway, when he finished I did look him in the eye and say quietly, &quot;Anything bush inherited from Clinton he made worse; anything he inherited he didn&#039;t make better.&quot;  He didn&#039;t argue or even dispute what I said.  Funny thing, over my uncle&#039;s shoulder my aunt was shaking her head up and down in &quot;YES!&quot;  But she too kept her mouth shut.  She is a generation older than me and I&#039;m older than dirt.  I hope today&#039;s younger women can be open and honest and still maintain dignity and decorum.  We older ones aren&#039;t brave enough or smart enough or maybe we&#039;re just too indoctrinated into &quot;proper&quot; behavior (whatever THAT is!).

There are so many prejudices, so much misinformation.  Senator Clinton said last Saturday in her excellent speech there is no acceptable prejudice.  She is so right!  I hope I live long enough to see that world.

I&#039;d settle for tolerance and that people would realize they don&#039;t need to embrace a difference to accept and respect it as someone&#039;s rightful choice.  And quit being afraid that differences might be contagious or rub off...

I am a pollyanna, huh?</description>

		<description>&quot;called in claiming to be a Marine officer, who said he and 100’s of Marines would NOT obey commands from a Black man, elected President who had never served in the military&quot;

If that is the case, they better start building larger stockades, because failure to follow lawful orders will get a Marine or any other service person a real nice sentence, followed by a dishonorable discharge.

		<description>Linda  --  I  heard  a  rant  earlier  today  on  Limbaugh&#039;s  show  about how  the  reichwingers  are  going  to  start  bitching  about  how  it  isnt  American  to  put up  a  candidate  who hasnt ever  been in the  military  to  be  the  commander in  chief  --  and  then  I  heard  a  radio  show  Caller  last nite  who  called in  claiming  to  be  a  Marine  officer,  who  said  he  and  100&#039;s  of  Marines  would  NOT  obey  commands  from  a  Black  man,  elected  President  who had  never  served in the  military...   I  sense  we  are  headed  to  a  pretty  Racist  show  down  before  November...  And  that  just  really  tears  me  up!!

		<description>Linda...  Sounds  like  some  group  out  there  who  now  wants  to  make  Obama  look like  a  lying  pretender  to  being  black...  when  they  try to  paint him  as  nearly  white  --  You might  recall  that  3/5  census  thing  from  way  back  in the  civil  war  era,  when  trying  to  figure out  census  numbers  for  the  House of  Reps...   Some  religious  groups  have  a  thing  they  call  the  two  seed  theory  for how  we  have  whites  and  non-whites  in  the  world...  and how the  one  seed  is  really  seed of  &quot;satan&quot;  and one  the  seed of  &quot;adam&quot;   it  is  just  basically   mathematical  horse hockey  RACISM  no  matter how you  cut it,  and  regardless of how  old  your  uncle  is!!   Too bad  that  kind of  crap  is  still  with us  even  in  2008!!  

But,  we  even  see  bits and pieces of it  on  the  Blog  --  as  Monkey pointed out above...</description>

		<description>Thank you for the link. I&#039;ll read that a little later.

    Well, Obama WAS the first to take a swing WAY back in one of the early debates. He hit Hillary with that little Wal mart swipe and she threw a roundhouse back.

    Like I say, she has been good for him. 

     BEWARE the fickle media though. IF he is too tough on old John out will come the knives accusing him of bashing on an old war hero.

     Heh, the con convention should be....interesting. How will they keep out all the Paul supporters? Will there be a call from the floor for a new nominee?</description>

		<description>My uncle and aunt from Oklahoma stayed here last night so he could make an early morning appointment at the VA.  He &quot;explained&quot; to me that Obama isn&#039;t black!  When he first said it I responded about being as white as black...  So, he went on to explain that he is actually only 13% black.  I lost track of his explanation, didn&#039;t ask any questions because I couldn&#039;t risk opening my mouth.  He is a good man and 82 years old and...

We all have our crosses to bear.

But I know he listens to all the places and people all the talking points are handed down.  So anyone else heard this one??</description>

		<description>BlueJay,

Ohhhhhh yeah.  It&#039;s &quot;Obama the America-hating-Manchurian candidate--Muslim apostate-liberal lover&quot; for days and days and days.  Just like the list of lies we saw Boxlicker post here a couple of days back.

Given that the Repukes HATE their candidate (did you hear that Ron Paul is holding a shadow GOP convention), their only card is to go as racist as possible at Obama and hope something sticks.  Again, kind of like all the shit we saw Boxlicker throw at the wall the other day.

Here&#039;s the run-down on Obama&#039;s smackdown of Democratic Back-Stabber Joe Lieberman:

Obama&#039;s been pretty effective this week.  He&#039;s driving the debate and McCain is counterpunching only belatedly.</description>

		<description>Hmm hadn&#039;t heard about that one CF.

   There was another time Obama got his back up. Something about he&#039;d be ready to go at the cons (he said Republicans) if they came after him.

     Well, maybe the long primary fight was good for him. I always said it would be.

    He BETTER be ready for a fight. What is it kfg calls it? &quot;The right wing Wurlitzer?&quot; Yeah.

     They are firing it up and I mean big time on rant radio.</description>

		<description>&quot;Killer political instincts&quot;..

    Yeah we don&#039;t hear much about that. It&#039;s hushed up I guess. 

    This guy was apparently quite ruthless in his early political career.

     I&#039;m HOPING this whole suck up to the right thing is a rope a dope. Then, once he wins, he will really put the screws to the cons.

     But I am not encouraged. Obama has been making some right wing noises here recently.

      I think the whole optimism thing is the wrong tac either way. We NEED ads that blame the cons for the high gas prices and other assorted ills. But I guess the 527&#039;s will have to take care of that.</description>

		<description>You&#039;ve gotta be amazed how lowly wage slaves kowtow to corporate pie-in-the-sky dreams and propaganda.

&quot;As long as corporations are okay,&quot; the peons have been brainwashed into believing, &quot;somehow some modicum of prosperity will trickle down to those who actually work to &lt;i&gt;create&lt;/i&gt; wealth.&quot;

Democracy isn&#039;t supposed to work that way.  Even more importantly, &lt;i&gt;Capitalism&lt;/i&gt; doesn&#039;t work that way.  Eventually, the people at the top will oppress the workers, the workers won&#039;t be able to afford the products they produce, and there won&#039;t be any market for the capitalists to sell their products and services.  

The poster formerly known as &quot;Econ101&quot; (I think he&#039;s come back, but I&#039;ve had difficulty keeping the new nyms straight) often spewed the &lt;i&gt;first&lt;/i&gt; semester of Econ 101; as if he&#039;d learned it all.  The investment banking crisis of 2008 is a replay of the commercial banking crises of 1929-1932.  The market crash of 1929 was a replay of the financial panics of 1898 and 1876.

Republic Party economic orthodoxy has brought us to the brink of financial Armageddon.  I&#039;ll forgive Barack Obama for trying to sell optimism.  Frankly, I&#039;m inspired by his optimism.  

But I think about an investment banker Bill Moyers interviewed a few weeks ago who said, &quot;Yes, I&#039;m optimistic about the economy.  But I fear my optimism is misplaced.&quot;

The absolute last thing America needs is four more years of Republic Party orthodoxy.  The first thing America needs is a new way to address the challenges which face us.  

The first thing we need is President Barack Obama.</description>
