OBAMA scares me. Hitler was able to 'charm' the German in his early days. Obama has been a charmer - and indeed he is. And he has tried to ride in on the John F Kennedy legend.
But wait folks - This is NO TIME for an OBAMA.
OUr nation has NEVER been here before and an arrogant OBAMA who has shown his views toward much of our core values is not a good choice.
I have a major question: Obama now refers Wright as his 'former' pastor.
What does that mean? Has Obama taken up with Billy Grahm, or some other major spiritual leader - or is he just saying 'former' as a ploy.....
And once ni the White House I can just see the party / celebration and change of posture with Rev Rev Wright suddenly re-appearing as the White House spiritual counsel... with all kinds of parties and comings and goings.
We have far too much at stake. No time for experiments.
THE REAL ENEMY of US is CHINA and we better get focused.
We have serious problems and OBAMA is NOT experienced enough tocommand the respect of the world that he represents the core fundemental values of our USA. He is a renegade ... with a wife who has never been proud of her nation.
No my friends. Obama is a dangerous message tothe world.
mj - 16 years ago
after reading some of the comments from readers regarding the obama/wright issue and the media coverage of them both over the last several weeks i'd have to say that first obama's remarks to wright's recent rant doesn't clear obama of his association with his rabid pastor of 20+ years and certainly won't stop wright of attacking him, this country and all it stands for. i have to say that both wright and obama have their own agendas and nothing else. all in all, they do nothing to help me or this nation and i'm quit sick of reading/hearing about them both.

Well I'm white and my husband and I supported Alan Keyes. Wonder where you were than? No one stood up for him that I ever heard and we're news addicts. Quit your hate. What I'm finding out from this Presidential race is that African Americans are the true racists in this country. It is the biggest eye opener to me since the indoor toilet. AND stinks the same too. I really wonder if its the entitlements, or might I say, MORE entitlements that are driving the Black vote. DO YOU THINK????????????

I don't know why we are not receiving oil in payment for all the money we spent. I just think its a just and fair thing. I have to pay for everything I receive and I'm in NO way rich. Far from it. I'm just unsure why this isn't happening. I know war will always be in the picture. Bible prophecy, but if a country is rich in something we need; why not a littly payback?
JUST THINK ABOUT IT - 16 years ago
Oops - maybe I didn't understand CARLOS so well. Let me take his name OUT of my previous blog.
Just Think About It - 16 years ago
CARLOS has some very valid points. Look at the auto industry and all the strikes. Does person have to make $30 an hour and get the benefits all paid for. That means the cost of the vehicle goes up. We bought a 2000 dodge ram for about $30,000 in 2000 and now its about $50,000 +. How many people can afford that. We always, now, buy used vehicles because of the price of new and the gas mileage. We own our business. We pay our employees well, but can't keep raising wages. We have competitors who hire kids to do the work and pay than cheap wages. You just can't compete. There has to be a limit. If people would show some responsiblity with their spending we could and would be more competitive. Its just common sense. I'll tell you this, AS a consumer, if we STOP bringing goods over here and if the cost is too high of the products here in the USA I STILL won't be able to afford that item and WON'T buy it. I'll stick with what I have, buy used, AND we do grow a lot of our own produce. I've worked for unions and for non-union people. THey can be good and bad. The unions rake in tons of money on their own, at the expense of the worker. My husband got screwed badly by his union!

O'Reilly States Obama DOesn't Believe Wrights View - 16 years ago
Bill O'Reilly keeps cutting off people who starting saying anything in the negative category about Obama. He stated on Fox & Friends this a.m. THAT HE KNOWS that Obama DOES NOT believe the view of Wright. NOW O'Reilly is a mind reader. He's starting to really get irritating. He USED to be fair and balanced and it seems that now the fact the factor is such a hit, which he mentions every week or 2, he's getting to be UNFAIR and BALANCED.
George - 16 years ago
Not to mention Hillary wants to mandate health care for everyone. I disagree with that approach. Baracks plan gives people the option to join or not. I like having a choice, thats basic to the principles of Freedom
George - 16 years ago
The years Bill Clinton were okay...at least we had a budget surplus. But even though Hillary would be President, giving them a second bite at the apple, maybe a chance we shouldn't take. The past 20+ years theres been a Bush or a Clinton in the White House. I'd like to see us go in a different direction. Yes Obama will have to prove himself, and I don't believe he's joined at the hip to Rev. Wright, but I feel he should be given a fair chance. He seems to have some good ideas, and is willing to ask for the opinions of others... which is a good thing... no has all the right answers, but a willingness to work towards a common goal goes a long way
NObama - 16 years ago
It's a mess. I don't know how it can easily get fixed. I hate to say it but I rather enjoyed the economy under bill clinton. I don't think Obama can do it. I do think Hillary may be able to pull it out, but she comes with her fair share of problems also.
One last thing, tell your butt buddy Xavier, i'll look for him on these boards to crush him in debate again.
George - 16 years ago
My point is American had the best manufacturing base in the world, and we've shipped so many jobs overseas for cheap labor, often times child labor, with little enviormental standards. We have a responsiblity to keep our country strong, both millitarily and ecomonically for the next generations. Its not going to be easy, but sacrifices must be made now before its to late.
bye Carlos. Might want to see a doc for that temper you got there.
NObama - 16 years ago
Wage issues i think was one of the strikes.
Carlos - 16 years ago
I'm going to bed. Aplogoies for telling you the way it is, or the way i see things. good night..
NObama - 16 years ago
Carlos, you need to settle down and stop with the hostile tone. We are trying to have a civil debate on some issues. Everyone has good points to offer to the conversation and they shouldn't be brutalized for their thoughts.
George - 16 years ago
I tend to think Unions are a good. If my memory serves me correctly the one of the complaints leading to the pilots strike was being required to fly too many hours, without enough sleep...a safety issue.
Carlos - 16 years ago
George doesn't know what he is talkin about huh?
NObama - 16 years ago
I will agree with Carlos on the american worker. It is hard to be an employer in the U.S. In the long run tho, it always the consumer that feels it, not the CEO.
Carlos - 16 years ago
Fair enough. George you need to listen and open up your F*ckin ears. Stop living in fantasy land and believing that crap, you duche bag. Competition among workers??? Are you serious? Do you have any idea how hard it is to employ american workers? Every time you turn around they are on strike for some reason or another. I am all about the american worker too, but i think sometimes we demand too much for the skills we offer. Baggage handlers going on strike, ticket prices go up, pilots go on strike, ticket prices go up, gas goes up, bankruptcy follows. Give me a break.. wake up george and get your F*ckin head out of your @ss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
will - 16 years ago
George --- I didn't say, "shipping jobs over seas", I said they would pull out all together and rebuild out of country. Get it, NO JOBS AT ALL HERE. Besides, your are not getting any kind of a BREAK, just because the government doesn't steal all your money.
George - 16 years ago
I'm not responding to Carlos and that kind of mess.
George - 16 years ago
will read please Obama has said tax breaks for companies to keep job in america. and to cut tax breaks for those shipping jobs over seas
NObama - 16 years ago
Leave me out of your guys problem with each other please. I'm here to discuss the issues.
George - 16 years ago
Increasing the demand for american workers will result in more competition for labor, thus higher wages. More workers, will pay more taxes...allowing the govenment to invest in building infrastructure...better roads and bridges. More companies producing goods here at home..means more competition among retailer..and guess what lower prices
Carlos - 16 years ago
George, You sir are an idiot? Don't you think NObama?
will - 16 years ago
I have several friends that are VERY, VERY successful business owners. They say if the liberals mess with their taxes anymore, they will simply move their companies and their money out of country like the Ted Kennedy . Wow, Liberals doing their ignorant best to drive business away and put Americans out of work. What a great liberal plan.
NObama - 16 years ago
The consumer is going to pay for it George. You need to realize that. I am all for the american worker, but i'm also for paying low prices so I can make a living with MY paycheck.
George - 16 years ago
NObama, we should give tax break to companies to keep jobs here to employ american. A higher price for goods without lead paint in them might not be so bad. Its silly to be giving Oil companies tax breaks at a time they're taken in RECORD profits. Yes higher fuel standards... get out those SUV and into a hybird
Carlos - 16 years ago
Xavier, George is waiting for you in bed you butt f*cker. Get out of here already.
will - 16 years ago
George, --- Obama has pledged to cut off tax breaks to Oil companies and corporations that ship jobs overseas. Also to increase fuel ecomomy on cars
------------ So he is going steal it from the successful and give it to the lazy bums. George, George, wake up ... Not stealing even more money from the successful, is NOT A BREAK.
Carlos - 16 years ago
Get the F out of here George your homo!
Xavier - 16 years ago
george peace out bruh.. and everyonce else we may not agree but atleast we all(well some of us)can debate like adults.
NObama - 16 years ago
Man, wake up! He is going to cut tax breaks for overseas jobs? Wait and see how much you pay at Christmas for the same item when they dont bring those jobs back. Whewww (shivering), Cut tax breaks to the oil companies. No big deal, they'll just raise prices, and while he pulls all the troops out of Iraq and Iran moves in, We'll pay even more for gas. Fuel economic cars. Wake up again, there is already a plan in place to have more economic cars by 2012.. Any time you stick it to the corporation, the consumer takes it in the ass.
Xavier - 16 years ago

If she is not a parasite, she would do it.
George - 16 years ago
Obama has pledged to cut off tax breaks to Oil companies and corporations that ship jobs overseas. Also to increase fuel ecomomy on cars
NObama - 16 years ago
I agree if they go under they deserve it. I dont like the high fuel prices, it makes everything that much more expensive. But you seem to offer all kinds of complaints and accusations but I dont hear you telling me how Obama is going fix everything. His character is clouded and he offers no realistic solutions to any of our problems. Just the status quo responses we've all heard before.
will - 16 years ago
George, Giving a tax break???? That's not welfare, it is just not stealing more from them. You sound like you think you are getting a break, if a burglar only steals your TV and not your DVD player too.
Xavier - 16 years ago
Boy where is your mother??
Carlos - 16 years ago
Your uncle is a loser with no pride in his unit, god, or country. A real man?? More like a real whiner! Much like you. You better go to school and forget about the military. You definately aren't the type we need. Besides, homos aren't allowed in the Military so you can't get in anyway.
Xavier - 16 years ago
nobama if a billion dollar company go under they deserve to be broke!!
George - 16 years ago
NObama... they can make there profits...but we shouldn't be giving them billions in tax break aka welfare
NObama - 16 years ago
So now you think the president should regulate the profits of corporations? Move to China if you dont like it. They were making those profits with every president in office.

George - 16 years ago
hmmm I believe the current gas tax is 18 cent per gallon. Oil company reporting billion in first quater profits
will - 16 years ago
George, The liberal politicians who raised taxes on fuel, made it so the Government makes more profit on every gallon than the oil companies make on each gallon. Liberals won't let us build new refineries, or drill our own oil. Liberals are the reason for our gas problems. As for "starve women and children" If the women are physically sound and between 19 and 65, screw them. and I don't know any children that are older than 19. You are a moron and purposly deceptive.
Carlos - 16 years ago
I graduated college years ago kid, spent 10 years in the miltary. You said you were in school when the Iran-Contra hearings were on t.v. That makes me much older and wiser than you two homos. Cowards hiding behind your computer screens and dildos.

Randall.. i took the ASVAB last week i went to baltimore Meps and the whole 9.i gotta check with my recruiter tommorow.so save that.i'm not a coward.never was.but i do know when something is'nt right.you are the type of soldier that gave my uncle a bad name when he came from vietnam.he got a silver star.you know what he did with it? he sold it to a another soldier for 50 bucks so he could brag to his friends at home how much of a bad ass he was!
NObama - 16 years ago
Randall- I appreciate your service. (salute)..
George - 16 years ago
people that result to insult, lack the intelligence to debate, I feel sorry for you. Stay in school
Carlos - 16 years ago
Why dont George and Xavier move on up to brokeback mountain together and raise your herb garden, work on your solar panels and BUTT F*CK each other all day. Maybe you can collect your welfare checks up there to pay for your lube!! YOU YELLOW P.O.S!!!!

George - 16 years ago
Funny will, how you'd starve women and children... but make no mention of the billions in tax breaks we give oil companies and corporation that ship jobs over seas

Justin finish waht job? they(iraqi's can't even protect their own turf for 6 damn years!!! and they don't want to.they rather have us fight and die for em.
Carlos - 16 years ago
George so you think that the government "serving" you means they have to literally give you free food for nothing eh? WAKE THE F*CK UP!! I don't pay taxes so some little yellow bellied sap sucker like you can sit on your fat @ss and not work. Who are you F*CKIN kidding???
George - 16 years ago
I'll agree with part of your response. No solider is worth it
will - 16 years ago
George, The government is here to protect us from dangerous terrorits, build roads, stay out of my pocket, and make sure you don't steal from anyone. The government is NOT HERE TO STEAL FROM ME AND GIVE IT TO YOU or any other parasite.
Xavier - 16 years ago
Randall..you need to stop watchin those John wayne movie..if you so gung ho join up and go fight! it easy to talk tough safe at home on a computer.i'd like to see if you's talk that big boy yip yap if you were in Iraq with I.E.d blowin up around you.
Justin - 16 years ago
No soldier is worth it, but we are there and we HAVE to finish the job!!

will - 16 years ago
George, .... color doesn't enter into it. If you can't feed your kids, you don't deserve to have them. The kids will get fed, clothed and sheltered, but if you are physically sound, between the ages of 19 and 65, you shouldn't get anything free, for any reason ever. If this means the children you can't care for go to foster homes, GOOD, their lives will be better getting away from the human scum that brought them into the world.
Justin - 16 years ago
Whaaa... I'm paying 4.00 per gallon of gas. Lets pull out of Iraq and let Iran have it so i can pay 10.00 per gallon and send my son back to the country to finish the job.

MARK: Golly gee whiz, i wush i wus as smurt as yu are. your sooo muchh more sofisticated than corrine. your too stupid to even BLOG. This is political you moron! Whats your iq 12~? You need a brain in order to blog and vote. TELL ME PLEASE YOUR TOO YOUNG TO ACTUALLY CAST A VOTE!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bill O'Reilly keeps cutting off people who starting saying anything in the negative category about Obama. He stated on Fox & Friends this a.m. THAT HE KNOWS that Obama DOES NOT believe the view of Wright. NOW O'Reilly is a mind reader. He's starting to really get irritating. He USED to be fair and balanced and it seems that now the fact the factor is such a hit, which he mentions every week or 2, he's getting to be UNFAIR and BALANCED.
Not to mention Hillary wants to mandate health care for everyone. I disagree with that approach. Baracks plan gives people the option to join or not. I like having a choice, thats basic to the principles of Freedom
The years Bill Clinton were okay...at least we had a budget surplus. But even though Hillary would be President, giving them a second bite at the apple, maybe a chance we shouldn't take. The past 20+ years theres been a Bush or a Clinton in the White House. I'd like to see us go in a different direction. Yes Obama will have to prove himself, and I don't believe he's joined at the hip to Rev. Wright, but I feel he should be given a fair chance. He seems to have some good ideas, and is willing to ask for the opinions of others... which is a good thing... no has all the right answers, but a willingness to work towards a common goal goes a long way
It's a mess. I don't know how it can easily get fixed. I hate to say it but I rather enjoyed the economy under bill clinton. I don't think Obama can do it. I do think Hillary may be able to pull it out, but she comes with her fair share of problems also.
One last thing, tell your butt buddy Xavier, i'll look for him on these boards to crush him in debate again.
My point is American had the best manufacturing base in the world, and we've shipped so many jobs overseas for cheap labor, often times child labor, with little enviormental standards. We have a responsiblity to keep our country strong, both millitarily and ecomonically for the next generations. Its not going to be easy, but sacrifices must be made now before its to late.
Maybe so. I just hate dumb people. Later!
bye Carlos. Might want to see a doc for that temper you got there.
Wage issues i think was one of the strikes.
I'm going to bed. Aplogoies for telling you the way it is, or the way i see things. good night..
Carlos, you need to settle down and stop with the hostile tone. We are trying to have a civil debate on some issues. Everyone has good points to offer to the conversation and they shouldn't be brutalized for their thoughts.
I tend to think Unions are a good. If my memory serves me correctly the one of the complaints leading to the pilots strike was being required to fly too many hours, without enough sleep...a safety issue.
George doesn't know what he is talkin about huh?
I will agree with Carlos on the american worker. It is hard to be an employer in the U.S. In the long run tho, it always the consumer that feels it, not the CEO.
Fair enough. George you need to listen and open up your F*ckin ears. Stop living in fantasy land and believing that crap, you duche bag. Competition among workers??? Are you serious? Do you have any idea how hard it is to employ american workers? Every time you turn around they are on strike for some reason or another. I am all about the american worker too, but i think sometimes we demand too much for the skills we offer. Baggage handlers going on strike, ticket prices go up, pilots go on strike, ticket prices go up, gas goes up, bankruptcy follows. Give me a break.. wake up george and get your F*ckin head out of your @ss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
George --- I didn't say, "shipping jobs over seas", I said they would pull out all together and rebuild out of country. Get it, NO JOBS AT ALL HERE. Besides, your are not getting any kind of a BREAK, just because the government doesn't steal all your money.
I'm not responding to Carlos and that kind of mess.
will read please Obama has said tax breaks for companies to keep job in america. and to cut tax breaks for those shipping jobs over seas
Leave me out of your guys problem with each other please. I'm here to discuss the issues.
Increasing the demand for american workers will result in more competition for labor, thus higher wages. More workers, will pay more taxes...allowing the govenment to invest in building infrastructure...better roads and bridges. More companies producing goods here at home..means more competition among retailer..and guess what lower prices
George, You sir are an idiot? Don't you think NObama?
I have several friends that are VERY, VERY successful business owners. They say if the liberals mess with their taxes anymore, they will simply move their companies and their money out of country like the Ted Kennedy . Wow, Liberals doing their ignorant best to drive business away and put Americans out of work. What a great liberal plan.
The consumer is going to pay for it George. You need to realize that. I am all for the american worker, but i'm also for paying low prices so I can make a living with MY paycheck.
NObama, we should give tax break to companies to keep jobs here to employ american. A higher price for goods without lead paint in them might not be so bad. Its silly to be giving Oil companies tax breaks at a time they're taken in RECORD profits. Yes higher fuel standards... get out those SUV and into a hybird
Xavier, George is waiting for you in bed you butt f*cker. Get out of here already.
George, --- Obama has pledged to cut off tax breaks to Oil companies and corporations that ship jobs overseas. Also to increase fuel ecomomy on cars
------------ So he is going steal it from the successful and give it to the lazy bums. George, George, wake up ... Not stealing even more money from the successful, is NOT A BREAK.
Get the F out of here George your homo!
george peace out bruh.. and everyonce else we may not agree but atleast we all(well some of us)can debate like adults.
Man, wake up! He is going to cut tax breaks for overseas jobs? Wait and see how much you pay at Christmas for the same item when they dont bring those jobs back. Whewww (shivering), Cut tax breaks to the oil companies. No big deal, they'll just raise prices, and while he pulls all the troops out of Iraq and Iran moves in, We'll pay even more for gas. Fuel economic cars. Wake up again, there is already a plan in place to have more economic cars by 2012.. Any time you stick it to the corporation, the consumer takes it in the ass.
carlos learn to read.matter fact learn to be a man.you know and everybody on this board knows you never been in the military.
cya Xavier keep up the pressure on these guys... we'll bring em around soon enough
nobama ..come on now..have you been watchin the debates? i have i saw all of em.as i said b4 i watch the news everyday my tv stays on cnn,foxnews and msnbc.all three candidates elft in the race said waht will do. i like Baraks ideas better it's 5:58 in the morning so im not gonna go into details.but if you kept up like i did you know waht they ALL SAID you know it like i do.i'm out have fun.
Go back to brokeback mountain you pansy. Where did you take your ASVAB? You said you took it last week? Where was MEPS?
he has also pledged to invest billions in rebuilding our nations infrastructure thereby creating jobs.
Xavier----
will and if the woman can't afford daycare,how is she suppose to work..leave the kids at home alone? ----- She can do the best thing for her children, let a foster home take care of them properly, and she could join the military and help protect their future. If she is not a parasite, she would do it.
Obama has pledged to cut off tax breaks to Oil companies and corporations that ship jobs overseas. Also to increase fuel ecomomy on cars
I agree if they go under they deserve it. I dont like the high fuel prices, it makes everything that much more expensive. But you seem to offer all kinds of complaints and accusations but I dont hear you telling me how Obama is going fix everything. His character is clouded and he offers no realistic solutions to any of our problems. Just the status quo responses we've all heard before.
George, Giving a tax break???? That's not welfare, it is just not stealing more from them. You sound like you think you are getting a break, if a burglar only steals your TV and not your DVD player too.
Boy where is your mother??
Your uncle is a loser with no pride in his unit, god, or country. A real man?? More like a real whiner! Much like you. You better go to school and forget about the military. You definately aren't the type we need. Besides, homos aren't allowed in the Military so you can't get in anyway.
nobama if a billion dollar company go under they deserve to be broke!!
NObama... they can make there profits...but we shouldn't be giving them billions in tax break aka welfare
So now you think the president should regulate the profits of corporations? Move to China if you dont like it. They were making those profits with every president in office.
real men don't need medals and awards to prove worth.
I don't need a college degree to see that you are a peace loving homo. You would rather stay in the rack with your gay lover as the terrorist come and knock on your door.
will and if the woman can't afford daycare,how is she suppose to work..leave the kids at home alone?
will and if the woman can't afford daycare,how is she suppose to work..leave the kids at home alone?
He gave your uncle a bad name?? your uncle sold his medal for 50 bucks? Who is the loser there? I wish i could send these posts to your recruiter so he can take you out back and give you a good old american ass whoopin.
george you ever heard of a college educated 10 year military vet that talk like 12 year old?? me either.
hmmm I believe the current gas tax is 18 cent per gallon. Oil company reporting billion in first quater profits
George, The liberal politicians who raised taxes on fuel, made it so the Government makes more profit on every gallon than the oil companies make on each gallon. Liberals won't let us build new refineries, or drill our own oil. Liberals are the reason for our gas problems. As for "starve women and children" If the women are physically sound and between 19 and 65, screw them. and I don't know any children that are older than 19. You are a moron and purposly deceptive.
I graduated college years ago kid, spent 10 years in the miltary. You said you were in school when the Iran-Contra hearings were on t.v. That makes me much older and wiser than you two homos. Cowards hiding behind your computer screens and dildos.
Randall.. i took the ASVAB last week i went to baltimore Meps and the whole 9.i gotta check with my recruiter tommorow.so save that.i'm not a coward.never was.but i do know when something is'nt right.you are the type of soldier that gave my uncle a bad name when he came from vietnam.he got a silver star.you know what he did with it? he sold it to a another soldier for 50 bucks so he could brag to his friends at home how much of a bad ass he was!
Randall- I appreciate your service. (salute)..
people that result to insult, lack the intelligence to debate, I feel sorry for you. Stay in school
Why dont George and Xavier move on up to brokeback mountain together and raise your herb garden, work on your solar panels and BUTT F*CK each other all day. Maybe you can collect your welfare checks up there to pay for your lube!! YOU YELLOW P.O.S!!!!
Carlos I am fat, working on that, but I don't receive welfare.
Did'nt Bear-stern get a big welfare check???
Xavier ... join up and go fight" ----I did, for 25 years. I think you are the coward hiding behind your computer. Everyone fighting now volunteered, as I did, to fight to give you the right, you are using right now, to be an idiot and act like a cowardly ass hole.
Funny will, how you'd starve women and children... but make no mention of the billions in tax breaks we give oil companies and corporation that ship jobs over seas
Justin finish waht job? they(iraqi's can't even protect their own turf for 6 damn years!!! and they don't want to.they rather have us fight and die for em.
George so you think that the government "serving" you means they have to literally give you free food for nothing eh? WAKE THE F*CK UP!! I don't pay taxes so some little yellow bellied sap sucker like you can sit on your fat @ss and not work. Who are you F*CKIN kidding???
I'll agree with part of your response. No solider is worth it
George, The government is here to protect us from dangerous terrorits, build roads, stay out of my pocket, and make sure you don't steal from anyone. The government is NOT HERE TO STEAL FROM ME AND GIVE IT TO YOU or any other parasite.
Randall..you need to stop watchin those John wayne movie..if you so gung ho join up and go fight! it easy to talk tough safe at home on a computer.i'd like to see if you's talk that big boy yip yap if you were in Iraq with I.E.d blowin up around you.
No soldier is worth it, but we are there and we HAVE to finish the job!!
forgive me will, I was under the erroneous impression the government was here to serve the people, not people serve the government. You know all those taxes we pay
Xavier ===== randall.you sound like a war happy nut! kill em all let god sort em out huh??
===========EXACTLY======== Glad to see you finally made some sense.
will you are not even worth a response.
So Justin 4000+ dead soliders are worth it you to get 4.00 gas?
nobama..and you call Wright and Obama rascist??matter fact..Bill clinton gave the country the erfect solution to welfare..use it for what was it like 3 years..after that you either go to school , get a job training or get cut off.
George, .... color doesn't enter into it. If you can't feed your kids, you don't deserve to have them. The kids will get fed, clothed and sheltered, but if you are physically sound, between the ages of 19 and 65, you shouldn't get anything free, for any reason ever. If this means the children you can't care for go to foster homes, GOOD, their lives will be better getting away from the human scum that brought them into the world.
Whaaa... I'm paying 4.00 per gallon of gas. Lets pull out of Iraq and let Iran have it so i can pay 10.00 per gallon and send my son back to the country to finish the job.
Carlos 38% of 85% of the white race vs 37% of the 15% of the black race... you do the math
Cut welfare and see who cries the loudest.
If your gonna start a war, have the balls to dowhat it takes to win. Nuke the bastards and get it over with.
Oh never mind, then we couldn't steal...cough buy the oil
Trying to debate these guys and they always have to throw in the race card. Pathetic...
randall.you sound like a war happy nut! kill em all let god sort em out huh??
The majority? 38% of whites vs 37% of blacks. Whites make up more of the population so this isn't saying anything.
Xavier -- nobam.. a republican got us in that mess!!!come on now.
WHAT MESS? I know for myself, and everyone I know, things are just as good as they have been for the last 30 years. I like the way things are going, and I do not want change. Don't fix it, when only parasites and traitorous, surrender, cut and run, cowards think it's broke.
policy
starve little kids...what ashame
will..wow..that's what the country's problem is?people on welfare??i thought it was an unjust war,bad education poicly and inflation..glad you set us straight.
will you do realize that the majority of women and children on foodstamps are white
