Social Security - An abomination. It should be wiped out. All funds like that should be privatized, it should NOT be a socialist government issue. A vote for Obama will take MORE money from us younger citizens and not give us anything back ever.

Women's rights - Seriously? Is this 1920? Jesus you're an idiot. A vote for Obama is a vote for women's suffrage. YAY FOR THE MODERN OBAMA!

Healthcare - Will destroy our economy even worse. A vote for Obama is a vote that's one step closer to socialism and communism.

Better pay for teachers - (Disclaimer - I'm a history secondary education major) Teachers work for 9 months. Those 9 months are RIDDLED WITH VACATION TIME. They make 3/4 of an average state salary. Teachers are paid fine... A vote for Obama is to overpay a job that only works 9 months a year.

Transparency of government through ethics reform - Dude, seriously, he only wants this if its not going to apply to him.

Good try, but again, your reasons posted are the EXACT REASONS I'd never vote for Obama. He doesn't want America to succeed.

Laordoran,

And the above displays the different mindset of Republicans and Democrats. I'll disagree to agree.

Well put.

Haven't seen this posted so I'll throw it in the mix.
Brilliant satire.

Those Repubs may be repugnant but try not to be so smug. One, it betrays your candidate as I've warned you before, two, and most importantly, just because assholes may speak loudest doesn't mean everyone around them is one. There are many Republicans that are not bigots, racists and pro-rich/corporate gospel preachers that support the much older foundations of the Republican party. McCain is part of that wing and has been from the start.

Unless you and those like you get a hold of your condescension, Obama losing in November will be in no small part on your shoulders.

While I have no serious issue with non-citizens/ short term foreigners being involved in the process, it shouldn't be touted so loudly. When strangers come into your house and tell you how you should live not only does it smack of arrogance but those people are necessarily ignorant to the undercurrents that function inside. They may want to support your guy but they are doing it from their perspective from their home and upbringing. For Europeans, big government works because they have always had it, class distinctions and all; the U.S. is different and culturally we just don't do it unless we absolutely have to.

Guests of this nation's hospitality should mind their own business.

If I seem irrational at times and one sided its because I'm used to hanging out on extreme right wing web blogs, that are a racist train wreck in a evangelical car crash, and the stupid fairy drops around a ton of moron dust on everyone that frequents there.

After hanging out at these sites, its hard to not lump Republicans into that one big pile of manure.

These are the 30% that think Bush is doing a fine job.

Case in point about the nut job web site I frequent. Here are a couple blog entries in response to a Buchannen column. Just to give you an idea of some of the American electorate I blog with on occasion.

"B.H. Obama = The Anti Christ = After 1-2 years in office will issue 666 mark on foreheads and chip"

" Hello
I FEEL MR OBAMA NEEDS TO WALK THE TALK....HE SURE CAN TALK BUT CAN HE WALK THE WALK??? I DO NOT TRUST HIM AND HIS NAME IS VERY CLOSE TO ONE OF OUR ENEMIES...OBAMA, OSAMA???? HMMMMM SEEMS TO CLOSE FOR ME....WHAT ABOUT U???"

"Henry, Tampa
You may want to check out Obama's other middle name, also. It's even more telling."

"He is the Manchurian Candidate!! I like his Faith-Based Initiative Trojan Horse. Who would run the program, Father Fleger, Rev Wrong or maybe some other commy, racist nut?? The taxpayers could open a Barack Hussein Obama Madrassa!"

"If he is, indeed the antichrist, God will deal with him, and will defeat him in the end. If he is not pray for his defeat. May God bless us all."

The above is just from one page of blogs. Seriously, the whole region from far west Penn to eastern Texas kinda freaks me out. What I fear is that these people believe in what they say.

Depends who you ask. When they botch fast food orders and do shoddy carpentry, they aren't getting the job done.

I'm not here to reward appreciative people any more than I let appreciative strangers enter my house, raid my refrigerator, and sleep in my bed. It's a core matter of ownership and personal pride; do we own our country or are we just voluntarily playing king of the hill and happy to let someone knock us off at will? When illegals tax the criminal justice, welfare, and medical infrastructures, mere displacement is exactly what they're doing.
