Well I don't know how you took Dave's post, but I took it as a jab against zbrown.

Just think...and it makes you look good too! :duh: I see this thread heading south soon.

You guys act like zac didn't know what he was saying when he said it. Ya it may have been out of line but he doesn't care if you like him or not because of what he said. He got the reaction from you guys that he was looking for

I wish people would knock off all of the anti-black shit because it obscures the very real faults and shortcomings of the Obama (and progressive) ideology.

The real faults and shortcomings are know, and apparently people either don't understand the consequences, or they simply want what Obama wants to turn the USA into. I'm not sure why we are fighting it any longer, I might as well go get in line for my check.....

HAHA -- thought it was fitting...

I am still shocked on how many people were willing to vote someone in with such little experience. I think in about two-years I am going to start campaigning to be president since obviously having experience doesn't really mean much to the voters.. So, the scary thing of all.. Democratic President (with little experience in Govt.) with a House & Senate Majority of Dem.'s. Ya a lot will get done, but will it be the right stuff getting done??

I think he'll be running to Biden a lot for advice, may as well voted Biden in as president & Obama as V-P... He'll just becomes Biden's hand puppet.

Personally, I hope McCain gets a cabinet position, this way we can have the best of both worlds.

[fallguy]

I think we should be worried about how racist the black community is. What is the percentage of the black population that voted for Obama? 99.9%? Funny how the tv shows always show "white catholics" and such and not "black catholics". lol

I would have voted for a black president no problem as long as he represented what I believe in and has the experience to lead the nation....Obama had neither. Running a campaign doesn't count. Anyone old enough on here to remember a President named Jimmy Carter? Do some research...Obama will be him but 10x worse, AND with no peanut farm.

Not to discredit here Matt because I certainly understand your points...but anyone remember JFK? The only real difference between the two (experience wise) is JFK had a military background prior to the Senate. He seemed to do ok by most peoples standards.

I'm certainly not saying Obama is perfect, but claiming his presidency is doomed before he is even sworn into office is silly. Saying he is going to bring upon (further) socialism w/o a single bill being signed into law is a guess at best....but I bet that John McCain votes with him on the majority of the bills.

I wasn't a big fan of GWB, but I never hoped that he would screw up just to prove my point. I hoped he (and any president we elect) does the best that they can do for this country.

[Sweet-WRX-Lovin]

Let me add I don't mean any of this in a demeaning or offensive manner:

Dave, I just don't get it. What are you reading or have read that makes you think that he will be actually able to do just that. You seem hell bent that the country is going to be geared towards lazy worthless people who don't want to work but have the same everything as everyone else. Link me or tell me whatever it is so I can "understand" the consequences of what he wants to turn the USA into actually. Not someone's opinion of what he wants to turn the country into, but what HE wants to turn the country into.

Matt I think you are jumping to conclusions too quickly. Jimmy Carter reduced the US import of oil by 50% and created 8 million jobs during his term. Not saying Carter's term was all great because it wasn't. I just think people are shitting their pants for no good reason. Also big difference between a peanut farmer and magna cum laude from Harvard.

Provide me with any info for discussion because I'm having trouble understanding your points of view

"redistribuition of wealth" hmmm...yeah. I wonder where this is going. John McCain can move in with him for all I care. He's no "true" conservative anyway.

Bring back Reagan conservatism.

Palin screwed Mccains chances. I know she was a reason I wouldn't vote for Mccain. Probably one of the key ones

It's simple, I listen to the mans words and think about what he is actually saying. Quick example: "I want to give 95% of americans a tax cut". That sounds good right? :icon_scratch: Not. I think we can agree that Obama doesn't intend on giving the top 5% a tax cut, so he is refering to the bottom 95% right? Ok, the next thing to think about is that somewhere between 38%-40% of americans don't currently pay any income tax. So basically what Obama wants to do is give money to this 38%-40% of people for no reason. Where is that money going to come from? Obviously it has to come from the top 5% since everyone else is getting a cut. You can call that re-distributing the wealth, socialism or whatever. Whether the people getting the money are working or lazy, I don't know, I'm sure it's a mix.

If you want more examples I can type them up.

That said, maybe I'm worrying needlessly. Maybe he was just saying this stuff to get elected and doesn't have any plan of actually doing any of it. I hope thats the case.

I am pretty disappointed at the Cass county results. Must be proximity to the peoples republic of Minnesota

Also, all 4 ND ballot measures went exactly the opposite of how i wanted them. Even though limiting spending would have been better than limiting income tax, the enemy of good is "perfect" so i was pro-#2 anyway.

Yeah let's cut the state's income in half. Do you even know what would end up suffering? Education! They were going to take A LOT of money away from funding education. You must be really ignorant to think that this was a good idea!
