WHEW!!!!! Bizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzze day on this thread today!

I plodding thru now.
Well... there's a couple of us on here that will be voting for Obama and I want them to continue to feel welcome in this thread.
Then again... there's a few people I wouldn't mind keeping out of this thread and maybe one of your little thread titles would dissway them from posting on here....
Eh, probably not.

And the y were my "DIS" appropriate ones!
Also on Obama's speach. I wasn't feeling the love. All his promises, how on earth does he really expect to follow thru? I'm surprised he didn't promise to part the sea too. I turned the TV off before he had his final words, I heard enough. I really have to wonder if Obama will result in higher taxes and more welfare type programs. .
I am no econimist, but I can proudly say that in all these years, my checkbook has ALWAYS balanced! Except once, and that was the bank who messed up...REALLY! Anyhooooooo as Judge Judy says, IF IT DONT MAKE SENSE THEN IT AINT TRUE!!!!
Am I the ONLY one that both Obama & W both make the same face when they "act' stern. Both purse their lips as if they just sucked a lime. I call it the "Pickle Puss" look! What is odd is that many of the Nuns I had teaching me, had the same look!
Did anyone see the clips of Oprah this morning? She cryed her fake eyelashes off during Obama's speach last night. She must have drank a lot of koolaid before the speech.
Sadly not only did Oprah KNOW what her reaction would be BEFORE the speech, I knew what Oprahs & most OS'ers reaction would be BEFORE Obama even talked. I mean CNN kept on reporting (like with every other speech BO gave) how HISTOICAL it is. The media has sort of over used the "Historical" word.
I'm not on the Obama Train, but I am holding my nose to vote for him to protect the Supreme Court. I don't like him personally at all. One of the planks of the Republican Platform is to make all abortion choices illegal, period. And with a Supreme Court majority, they
could make that, and a lot of other rights we take for granted, disappear. Remember, several Liberal judges are elderly and in poor health. It is doubtful they could hold out another 4 years.:
I posted way too many times.....but once more,The Supreme Court is a Senate thing. The Senators must approve. In fact....the reason why Clarence Thomas made it through is because BIDEN SCREWED UP! Go google!
IMO, The whole Supreme court debate in a presidential race is ridiculous! Has as much depth as them discussing State lotteries.
:I see McCain has named a woman VP, no doubt trying to get Hillary supporters to vote for a female VP. Someone needs to tell him that we supported Hillary not because she was a woman, but because she was, in our opinion, the best candidate. Palin is ultra-conservative, the exact opposite of Hillary on the issues that matter.
I still look at Obama and McCain and wonder what the power-holders in the respective parties were thinking by nominating these two.
I dont think Hillary was just a "issue" thing. There were many woman who wanted her because she was a woman, and luckily she was a Great & Smart woman. But many woman did support HC because she was a woman, as do many Blacks support Obama. The DNC has totally underestimated the woman of their party.
All politics aside.... Obama is a Black MAN who choose to have a white MAN as a VP. McCain is a MAN who choose a WOMAN...THAT IS THE REAL CHANGE!
I think Sexism in the USA is much more tolerable then Racism, but much more powerful.
But when it comes to stem cell research McCain and Obama have the EXACT opinions on that issue.
I was for Hillary UHC, McCain's health care reform is a joke (I will admit that) but Obama's is a joke also. Just making sure children are covered is NOT going to solve the health care crisis in our Country. We need total health care where EVERYONE, not just kids, can get afforable health care.
There are just way too many flaws in Obama's plan to make me support his health care reform and IMO health care will not be any different in 4 years then it is right now.
Hillarys UHC was one of the most BRILLIANT plans I have ever seen from any politian EVER! Really, it was knock your socks off BRILLIANT!
Obamas might as well be written on a cocktail napkin. It will actually cause more problems then solve. McCain's HC plan, wont help , but wont hurt either.
I haven't read the latest posts yet, and I don't know if this has been posted but guys, I just have to come and say this now
Today, after finding out about McCains VP choice, I'm more upset, more angry than ever at BO for not picking Hillary.
BIG mistake, BO. BIG mistake
So far both candidates have been put through the "REALITY" test twice. The Georgia/Russia crisis and the VP choice. Obama failed miserable on both counts. McCain has come up smelling like a rose on both concerns.
