I LOVE THE PART ABOUT THE SMALL TOWN MAYOR ..

Some of Obama's constituent friendly votes in Illinois.

- Voted AGAINST a bill letting people argue self-defense in court if charged with violating local weapons bans by using a gun in their home in self-defense.

- Unsuccessfully sponsored measure to expunge some criminal records and create an employment grant program for ex-criminals.

- Voted AGAINST making gang members eligible for the death penalty if they kill someone to help their gang.

- Voted NO on a bill to give no offer of “good time” for sex offenders sentenced to the County Jail –
Obama was the only vote against the bill.

- Voted “Present”on a bill to restrict the location of buildings with adult uses (you know porn shop, strip clubs, etc…) within 1,000 feet of any public or private elementary or secondary school, public park, place of worship, preschool, day-car facility, or residential area.

- Voted NO on a bill, requiring school boards to install software on public computers accessible to minors that blocked sexually explicit material.

- Voted “Present” on a bill which established a zero-tolerance drug-testing policy for Dep’t. of Corrections Employees.

- Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.

Nice, huh?

NOT ONLY ARE YOU AN IDIOT FUCK. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RETARDED. I GUESS IF WE ALL VOTE FOR OBAMA..NONE OF THIS WILL HAPPEN AND EVEN OUR FARTS WILL SMELL LIKE ROSES.

Ken, I can understand your gloom and doom attitude, but I cannot share it. This meltdown of the economic system presents a tremendous opportunity to at long last toss the Reaganomic, deregulated, laissez-faire,crony, cutthroat capitalism on the ash heap where it belongs and where it has belonged for at least 100 years and again take up and complete the task and the vision of Franklin D. Roosevelt. I see this as inevitable. Even a McCain victory, as dreadful as that prospect ism would only be the last gasp of dying system which must be replaced by something better.

Layne is no different from the other Democrat hacks who pollute this site... he's just a little more sarcastic.
They're all clueless.

Eric:

You can't shoot the messenger. Why so uptight? The truth hurts? well get use to it. If Mcshame gets into the white house, there is nothing to look forward to but more doom. I think Obama is crazy for even wanting the job after the republicans have shot everything to hell. But if that's what he wants, then I'm here to support him so at least we have a chance. But everyone better understand, even with Obama, we are going to have to tighten our belts.

Obama-Biden 08

I will pay for your ticket to Russia or Iran!

THIS IS GREAT!!!!! Everyone that says anything bad about Obama ALWAYS includes the 'socialist' tag! Meanwhile our current leaders and their cronies have brought us closer to true communism than Lenin himself ever could have! Makes me wonder if they even know what the definition of these words really are.
I remember being 6 years old when Reagan was elected and selling his "Reagenomics", the "trickle-down" effect and saying to myself......"Like that will happen".....because the rich are getting richer they will suddenly feel the need not to horde it all! The gap between the richest and the poorest has not been this large since the 1920's and I think we all remember what happened that fateful day in October 1929.....the same thing is looming before us and I fear that Americans will again screw it up and continue the disastrous economic policy that this nation follows just because of the promise to save a few bucks in the short term (at a VERY large long-term cost).

TO Ken Layne: You are so ridiculous.

We are going to global economy dont worry the end is years away step up to the plate brave american great days are ahead. Free book at myspace.com/jfs63 look at pics. God bless america blessings in Jesus name.

It never seems to that any body on here can recall that it is congress that the laws and policies of our country. I just wonder why the Democrat controlled congress has done nothing the last four years. And for me this has been the most prosperous eight years I have had. Steady job, good income and lower taxes. Just maybe there is something to be said about the conservative idea of the need for lower taxes to generate prosperity, created jobs. As to anyone saying something with out substance do you know what Mr. Obama really stands for? As for his idea they were tried and failed during the Carter administration oh was he not a democrats too. Only Democrats to get the idea of lower taxes to stimulate the economy was JFK and then the results after him was LBJ an his great society and a Democrats War that cost more American lives then the Iraq and Afghanistan war combined. People need to wake up Depression is coming and it is in the form of higher taxes on those that create jobs. Jobs will leave America because who will want to invest in a country that taxes them so high it makes no sense to expand here. Maybe Obama's message is clear radically clear tax us that work hard do not deserve to have more. That we should have only enough to get by on and we should trust the government to provide us and tell us what we need. Wake up America 1984 George Orwell is coming and it is in the form of an undefined change not a reform but a change to put you and me at the hands of government. This suppose to be a government by the people not by what the government tells us what we can drive or what we can eat or who our doctor is. I live in Springfield IL. And I meet a lady whose brother had many meetings and conversations with Obama and he told his sister that although Mr. Obama was a nice man his politics scared the hell out of him. They were not even mainstream politics but so radial that as an America they should scare the hell out of all of us. I think we need to take a closer look at Mr. Obama and determine if he is best for America or does he scare the hell out of you.

I live in Springfield, IL and one day I was talking to a gentleman that was in the senate with Mr. Obama he mentioned that Mr. Obama was a do nothing Senator. He had not brought any of his own bills to the floor and only those that would appease the ruling establishment. Now who wants a president that has no originality of his own? Can’t stand up to the powers to be and goes along with the flow. And here you go he is not ordinal in any of his ideas. TAX the rich was FDR's plan and it did not redistribute the wealth then either. During the 1930' over 1 million people were unemployed and FDR's plans still did not put them to work and most of them went with out relief during the first years of FDR. FDR was so arrogant that he masters up a plan to stack the court it failed too. What are we in store with Obama nothing as he has no plan to really change anything and his idea are not new they have been taken from FDR. And sorry to say that the NEW Deal was only symbolic it took World War II to get us out of the depression we were in and guess what it was American Capitalist that brought America back. We are in for an even more government do nothing with Obama and his democratic gang. They will force US enterprise out of the country because of their desire to tax them at a higher rate. No capital investement will prosper in such an environment that is simpe economics. FDR redistribution plan of higher taxes did not work in 1934 what makes you think it will today. What will do is create an even higher deficit by our government. a vote for Obama is not change but more of the same of a tried and failed effort by FDR. Nothing new here just old ideas.
Mrs. Edwards is a courageous person her battles with life surmounts many of our own battles. However l would like to know would she take the position of one of those with out health care. I am not sure she would so her talk is hypocritically at best. It is unfortunate that some go with out the health care they desire to preserve their life but i don't know if more government intervention into our lives will correct that. It seems that our congress has been unable to solve many of the American issues of today many be it is time for the people of America to wake up and take care of their own problems with initiative rather then look for hand outs that still do not deliver. Obama's health care will do nothing more for those without medical care. Look at what was done by FDR in the 30's it did not work then and it took a world war to get us back on our feet’s. Our federal government was not made to solve welfare issues it was set up to protect. Look at your constitution welfare was left to the state the community. Maybe we need our communities back ones with a heart to see that the residency in their communities can pursue happiness. Remember the premise of life freedom and the pursuit of happiness is individual and not guaranteed by the government.

As to the current economic meltdown oh lets see it is in only one sector of our economy. The finance industy. I am not sure that what will not come out of this will be a stronger individual economy. Less individual debiit and individuals now living with in their means. Yes a mess created by a democrate president who signed a bill making banks and mortgage companies required to loan monies to those who could not afford the home. Obama did the same thing in Illinois when he allowed the state to bail out his friend convicted felony Tony Resko. Interest for a man who wants to clean up Washington he was part of the defrauding of Illinois tax papers when millions went to people like Tony Resko. And Obama says he is orginal come on. As to the bail out it most likly needed to be done FDR did it with the banks in the 30's. Yes it will make our monies worth less but then if the economy is stimulated with capital investment then it will all work out just as it did in FDR's time when World War IIor set us on our feets again. I am not avicating war all we need is desire for capital to be invested into our economy. Taxing the rich will not give them any insentive to invest in America build new plants, find a solution to energy problem. They will just go somewhere else to invest there wealth. Leaving America to fall.

Isn't it funny how the republi-criminals fear monger and run around screaming the sky is falling when it suits them, but get all peeved when someone points out the catastophic costs of the republi-criminal agenda, and try to say that everything is just peachy. Actually, it would be funny if it wasn't so sad....

Earmarks are something that every politician tries to get. Some earmarks are good and some earmarks are bad. No one should lie about it. McCain tries to come off as an earmark virgin.

"I have never asked for nor received a single earmark or pork barrel project for my state" said John McCain on Tuesday, September 16th, 2008 in Tampa, Fla. Over the last six years McCain has voted $144 billion for earmarks. McCain has voted for 4 out of 5 Bush budgets loaded with earmarks. If McCain request earmarks he should not lie about it. Lying seems to be his second nature.

In 2000, fellow Republican Senators revealed his earmark history. PolitiFact and MSNBC have revealed the following on John McCain regarding earmarks.

2005- SB2136- $10 million, $2,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2007 through 2011- Academic Center at the University of Arizona named in honor of William Rehnquist, the late Supreme Court chief justice.

2003-$14.3 million- Buffer zone around Luke Air Force Base in Arizona http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-05-15-mccainland_N.htm

1999-$56 million-Rio Salado Environmental Restoration Project in Arizona.

1998-$9.2 million-National Mediation Center. Udall Foundation in Arizona.

1992-$5 million-Wastewater project in Nogales Arizona http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/documents/McCain92Earmark_123107.pdf

1990-$4.6 million-Turquoise Construction Trail in Arizona.

well before the french revolution the wealthy didnt pay taxes. why wouldnt it work again?

Yes, and Obama won't have all the $$$ to pay for all of the social programs he has promised his supporters. Things like socialized medicine, education, energy incentives, and yes of course, let us not forget the 50 billion he will give to the UN for "World Poverty".

Vote McCain, Obama is an empty suit with NO IDEA on how to fix our problems. He has never fixed anything in his life.

stella,
quit being so morose. we've built america's infrastructure from scratch before, we can do it again.

So Mark.....you are ok with having barely any money for education, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, roads and highways, fire fighters, police, public defenders....this is where your tax dollars go. You may have read recently about communities all across America having to make cuts in number of teachers, their pay, cuting the number of cops and fire fighters.....and even AFTER making all of these cuts, most communities still fell well short. And the congress has only been Dem controlled for two years WITHOUT a clear majority (which means the Pres can exercise his power of veto....and has!).....to inform you (because Obama has almost all his stances on his site), his main points for the tax policies that he wishes to institute are 1)closing the loopholes that allow 98% of large corporations to pay NO taxes in this country (you see, without regulation, a company can sell a product to one of its subsidiaries or retailers at an ENORMOUS loss and claim that loss on its taxes....just one of many loopholes) and 2)to give large tax breaks to companies THAT CREATE JOBS IN AMERICA!
But I am glad that you PERSONALLY are doing well, I am also doing well, but there are millions out there that aren't and McCains economic plan would do nothing good for this country......read the bipartisan reports on each economic plan (I think there are currently 5....google is your friend!) and you will see that there conclusions echo mine.

Mark
Any decent argument you might have had was shot in your first line!
The Democrats took a slim margin in both houses of Congress in the 2006 elections. They actually took office in Jan. 2007. That puts the Democrats in control of Congress for 1 year and 9 months. They have spent most of that time trying to get past Republican filibusters and Presidential vetos.

Perhaps you should retitled this, " Barrack Obama, my new savior and the other guy." Your review was grossly one-sided. Obama would sell our country for a loaf of bread, McCain would die for it.

What a num chuck. If there was no bail out you dope mainstreet would collapse. All of us would lose thousands of our 401K accounts. Do you have any idea how many 401K accounts there are?

If there was no bail out, you liberal geek, you would wail to the heavens about about Bush's do nothingness.

Wake up dunder head, the american poeple do not want a president needing on the job training.
A small war somewhere, I love it, like the one started by towel heads that killed 3000 poeple in the US. By the way that was more than pearl harbor and they were not combatants. Somehow you liberals can find a way to minimize that. You better wake up or you could be video taped being beheaded.
