No "hate" here. Take a closer look at Obama's core support and backers? All I ask is that you do the research, sir....

"maybe some of us just don't want 4 more years of Republican leadership that has got us nowhere!"

Where do you want to go? Sir, simply waking up "american" is not enough. You, like many Americans, think because you wake up american that the world beyond us(other countries) really can't affect you. That's foolishness. It takes hard work for our leadership to keep us free and our interest secured.

-You might think Bush owes you because you are an American(which is ok) but the reality is THE WORLD DOES NOT FEEL THEY owe you anything and will not guarantee you freedom. It is the american leadership that bullet proofs your freedom (sometimes by any means necessary).

- I believe this is what George Bush attempted to do. Iran and countries like them could care less about you waking up "American" and will make any type of "international play" they can to destroy those wonderful american wake ups you have. That ,sir , is our american reality.

-I think ,frankly, you have been blinded by liberal politics that suggest that being part of the free world is a given and you are entitled to it. It's not.

-What other countries do or not do will effect you and your family and the American people-like it or not. Oil prices is not a result of the Bush Administration. I didn't see the dominated democratic congress doing any thing either. They, actually ,have more control about higher oil prices than the president. Our world is much more intric

dre...I am not going to list any reasons for liking Obama..I feel this thread is only here to allow republican haters to rant at Democrats allowing for the release of pent up anger...Why walk into a burning building? It is pointless

Well said, dre...unfortunately you're completely wasting your breath with that "karlie" moron. Some folks don't have the mental capacity to process complex thoughts.

As for you, Mike, please allow me to give you my opinion on some of the concerns you've raised:

-The Oval Office is not (completely) to blame for the high gas prices, it's a supply and demand thing (have you read about the riots in England, France, Japan, Spain, and Germany? Bush isn't President of ANY of those Countries-I checked). You may have noticed that the price of gas doubled in the last 2 years (when the dems took over congress) not in the 6 years prior. There is a really good, FACT FILLED article in today's Rocky Mountain News by George Will (page 39). Read it and share your opinion, would you?

-The President, regardless of his political affiliation, does not have the ability to steer the economy. If he did, Bush would jump-start the economy and say that it was McCaon's idea, don't you think? One thing that history has proven, over and over and over: Higher taxes (A.K.A. "The Democrat Solution") DO NOT HELP THE ECONOMY. Obama WILL raise taxes.

-The military is not nearly as stretched as it was during the Clinton years. I was actually there, as opposed to sitting at home getting brainwashed by Dan Blather, so you guys will be completely wasting your time if you try to argue this point with me. Obama has vowed to all but disband our military, FYI.

-I don't know to whom you're referring to when you speak of low morale. If you spend a lot of time listning to the Dims, you will be

Well said Gjflash and you are right about trying to persuade these folks.

It's very unfortunate that FM and others blame low morale on Bush when their very own party has shown nothing but cowardliness and inertia concerning a changing world and its global economy. We must begin to tap some of our own resources.There is no walking away from that.

Yes, gas prices suck right now, but why hasn't the controlled democratic party done anything about it? Not one meaningful hearing or has been cast by them to lower gas prices. Not one! Bush does not have their hands tied up. They have the power to do something but...why wont they?? It may be one of three reasons:(or all 3)

1. The democratic controlled Congress support the increasing oil prices.
2. The Democratic controlled Congress is afraid to act, because they too are benefiting from 4$ a gallon.
3. They, like the president, really have no control over it.

You pick one FM ,but neither choice will make you any happier.

FM , please force yourself to see the world beyond the fish bowl,before it's too late....

p.s.
I have also noticed that liberals are not very original in their arguments. They have used many conservative talking points in an attempt to reverse them for their own purpose. McCain must expose the unoriginal and disingenuous tactic.

Another little fact chart on taxation- I can't help it!

Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.

www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html

Taxes under Clinton Taxes under Bush 2008
Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250

Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates
It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest
President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie, The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened. Notice how much more the middle-class working American will get hammered!

(I don't know if this will post correctly- I'll rewrite and repost if not)

That's the big problem, isn't it, Dre? What do they do when the trough they tell all their voters they have a RIGHT to, runs dry? Taxes and giveaways never created a job, only more need, and they are truly biting the hand the feeds them. A little education in economics and markets would be good for some, and some are just takers, but the biggest problem right now is the sour grapes hatred the left, even some intelligent people, have for Bush. They won't look past it, to that "REALITY" thing- it just doesn't serve their agenda.

Move On should just move on, but they won't. They are using a tactic from the Karl Marx Playbook. "Say it long enough and Loud enough, and people will begin to believe it is true."

Man, I've heard so many Black Commentators dissin' this guy, and I never trusted him at all, and I've been labelled "Blue Eyed Soul."

But still, there remain a lot of die hards that will lick his boots.

Great blog dre and nails the obvious, that's why you got attacked by a lib and had another one run in to proclaim a vast right wing conspiracy.

Question, when did the word Liberal become a BAD word?
Oxford dictionary, LIBERAL: Tolerant, Broadminded, Enlightened, Unprejudiced, Generous.

According to a Conservative. That is terribly narow-minded. For Gods sake gjflash when is the last time you got laid? you are terribly uptight! Loosen your coller and relax it will all come out in November when the American people Vote and the Republicans see that the majority of this country is ready for something different in D.C. Karlew

Flash, if Karl Marx paid any attention to History, he'd know his way was disastrously defeated, years ago.

By the way, karlew, since you brought God into the conversation, last time I checked up on it (which is actually at least daily) the Almighty is Himself AWFULLY narrow minded by our standards.

When you don't have Him on your mind much, it is easy to forget that.  As a matter of fact, the universal, one size fits all "Life in the Flesh Manual" says that those who don't keep Him in mind, He turns over to a reprobate mind so that they will go ahead and destroy themselves.

Better take a look at congress Fisher. Thats the law making body. It is the left that is the divicive portion of society. The president does'nt make law, He can request a law to be written and then some one from congress can carry that torch if they want. America is a great country, and all the libs spewing all the unfactual crap ought to be thankful for the right to do it. Go to Iran or N Korea or some place similar to them and see if you can get away with it.

So true.

WTF

Those individuals ,mostly, conservative really did stepped up for me. They ,unlike liberals , appreciated individuals who didn't use excuses or offered self defeating 1. "I didn't have a father " or" 2. I am from the hood" and "feel sorry for me " tactics.

Unlike you Jim, I don't believe in "white Guilt". We are all humans and we all know eventually what we must do in the best interest of the human race.History has proven we did ,in the end, what was right. That's what has made America great!

Interestingly, Almost every liberal (white and black) I have met have always demonstrated hypricirtical views and anger.

Most Libs only help when they want to condescend and act elitist to the poor. They try and appear kind to add footnotes to resumes, but mainly it's all for show.

Conservatives, in my view, are clearer about their motives(whether you like them or not) and the majority of the time they are straight shooters. In my experience, liberals have always been the total opposite.(white and black)!

Instead of being a pinhead towards me ,why not be grateful that you live in the best and freest country in the world, Jim? You ,out of 6.7 billion people, you Jim, got the opportunity to be born in the richest and strongest country in the world. Just Something to think about....

Hopefully, you will calm down and realize that all of your frustrations and anger are really you running away from reality.It is what it is!

I am American first and I am very proud of it!

Roger and out!

Dude,

In the end your Ancestors were Enslaved, Raped, Lynched, and Burnt at the stake. That's your HISTORY, so stop attempting to be something you're NOT :-)

You are a Ignorant SELL-OUT that is 3/5 of a Human, deal with it!

Great way to DRAW bloggers to your Newsroom
:-)

However you should re-consider some of the things you post.
