Get some reading comprehension

Ignorance is not very convincing either.

Considering that you made up three comments out of whole cloth from his book and the stupid claim that he is racist against himself I’d say your ignorance is a veritable beacon of light.

Obama Tells Store to Open in Underserved Community

What the hell is “underserved”?

*sigh*

The next four years are going to suck. Thanks RNC establishment for putting this rabid socialist (eh, Bolshevik) in power.

let me bold that for you so all the purists who say they will sit this one out can understand.

His remark last night about Exxon not giving up thier profits easily should have everyone on edge. I’m surprised no one’s mentioning it. He’s up there with Hitlery wanting to take profits from successful businesses. Elect Obama, get socialism. Elect McCain, lose soverienty. Either way, we’re skrood.

Guess I miss your point. Seems to me the same pressure exists with McCain as president, and the shamnesty bill comes up again, or a 50 cent tax on gasoline to fund global warning initiatives is proposed by him. Conservative principles are going to be screwed, whichever way it goes, because there is just not enough firepower to be effective. I hold the faint hope that Obama’s ideas will be seen for what they are; I’m inclined to suspect McCain’s will not be, because he is Republican.

POTUS proposes this:
I’ve talked to Barack a lot about his Patriot Corporation Act, which is not trade per se, but it’s certainly part of the economic package around globalization.

The Patriot Corporation Act has not gotten the attention that I would hope it would. But, basically it says that if you play by the rules, if you pay decent wages, health benefits, pension; do your production here; don’t resist unionization on neutral card check, then you will be designated a “Patriot Corporation” and you will get tax advantages and some [preference] on government contracts.
There is so much here that’s profoundly objectionable. On card check, it’s “patriotic” to support the elimination of the secret ballot in the workplace? It’s “patriotic” to pay an employee $14 an hour, but not $13.83? Play by the rules? What does that mean?

Conservative Republican congressmen mount a resistance. Unfortunately they are the minority party in congress, so they have to get votes from conservative and moderate democrats.

Will they be able to attract moderate democrats’ opposition to a Dem POTUS or a GOP POTUS more easily? Think about the pressure the dem caucus will exert on its members. Is the dem leadership going to permit their folks to join the GOP opposition if there is a dem POTUS?

Oh, and McCain ain’t gonna propose a “patriot company act” anyway, but Obama is a cosponsor on the one that is already there.

Seriously, if his latest words don’t appall you, look at his wife for a clue as to the welt of seething negro rage beneath the veneer.

In the name of ‘white preening vanity’, a great many guilty liberal types are going to unwittingly shatter this nation.

Goodbye Gilchrest [John J. Miller]
Rep. Wayne Gilchrest was the most liberal Republican to come from a congressional district that has voted for President Bush, according to the American Conservative Union’s ratings. Conservative challenger Andy Harris, a state senator, upset him yesterday. The results, according to the Maryland election board: Harris, 39.8 percent; Gilchrest, 35.6 percent; state senator E.J. Pipkin, who wound up not playing the spoiler role that some had predicted, 21.4 percent. My story on the race was published in NR a couple of issues ago and made available on NRO yesterday here.

Good news for Conservatives, Bad for Incumbents [David Freddoso]
State Sen. Andy Harris (R) defeated moderate Rep. Wayne Gilchrest (R), who has for a long time been far too liberal for his Republican Eastern Shore district. Chalk up one more victory for the Club for Growth.

Kensington, ah OK.

Had pretty much the same reaction here. I’ve always said I would never vote for McCain, but after listening to Obama, I may change my mind. He is even worse than Hillary.

No, fucky chicken, I just live in New York and can’t afford 4-figure rent without a roommate. Thanks, regardless.

So, because McCain may be a flawed candidate, you’re going to vote for the socialist class warrior who talks about surrendering the war and raising taxes whilst the government takes over the health care industry and ends up making college even less affordable than it is now. And you’re going to call yourself a conservative even as you cast the vote for this?

Here’s a hint: if it’s “coming,” even though we “may not like it,” it might be because people like you are going to VOTE FOR HIM!

I’m not happy about McCain, either, but if ever there was a case for accepting the lesser of two evils, this is it. McCain will be a better president than Obama. Insisting otherwise, and even enabling Obama with a protest vote, is nothing more than preening jackassery.

Kensington on February 13, 2008 at 9:11 AM

Kensington, that is great stuff. Are you a college student? If so, the kids are all right after all.

Interesting. He speaks with passion, but if most Americans tune in enough to hear what he actually says, he’s a weak candidate. Much weaker than I thought.

Unfortunately, so far, no one in my immediate circle is actually listening. My roommate just sits there enraptured at the prospect of President Obama, even as Obama spews all this craven lefty rhetoric. Higher taxes? Great! Socialized healthcare? Awesome! Whatever it takes!

I hate to be a defeatist, but it really does seem that America’s sell-by date is getting closer, and that’s terrible. The world will miss it more than it imagines.

Steele would be a mistake. McCain cant attack Obama for being inexperienced and then put into the VP slot a guy who has less experience than Obama.

William Amos on February 12, 2008 at 11:59 PM

I’m not used to listening to Democrats give campaign speeches. Is it just Obama, or do they all use the term “workers” to refer to Americans? It’s so completely ridiculous it’s almost quaint. Like the IWW.

McCain’s 100 years is a conservative estimate.
