I’d say Obama owes Gateway Pundit a finder’s fee for helping him track down the last of these statements which, I guess, are now to be considered nonstatements that never existed, DoubleThink style. Look, up in the steady gaze of……

An Honest Speech by Barack Obama

I, Barack Obama, want you to vote for me. I opposed the surge in Iraq. I would have pulled out completely by now. Fortunately, America didn’t listen to me. Now we have all but won in Iraq. Nevertheless, I still want to take our troops out, because I want you, the American people, to think that we are still losing in Iraq, even though that’s false.

I am for a full withdrawal from our victory in Iraq, and a surge in Afghanistan. We should let Iraq turn into a fiery hell, and make rivers of honey flow in Afghanistan. I would probably get more votes if people thought this way.

No more drilling for oil. Stop using up fuel.

9/11 was because we didn’t give enough to the poor people of the world, like Osama Bin Laden’s family.

I will be the greatest leader the world has ever known, because I’m not just a liberal, I’m a black liberal who is half Muslim. The very fact of who I am would be a game-changer on the world stage. I can do things that a white President could not.

As for Iran, let’s talk to that fuzzy bearded gentleman. Surely he can be reasoned with. He probably grew up poor due to US imperialism. If he just sits down and talks to me, he will see that I am half-black, half-Muslim, and half-honest. After that, we will have a picnic and our countries will be friends. That will solve this whole stupid problem created by all those stupid presidents who have come before Me.

On the subject of Pakistan, we should invade that country. Sure, they’re currently our friend, and they have nuclear weapons. What’s the problem? We’ll just invade them and take out terrorist camps. Nothing bad could happen from that!

By the way, teach your kids Spanish. They will have to if they want to vote when they grow up.

I have recently heard some people nickname me “Backtrack Obama.” Your names have been recorded. Once I get into the White House, we will deal with this situation.

Thank you! Si si peude!

I see that you too got an advance copy of O’s innaguration speech.

MB4:

You do not know that.

Terrye on July 14, 2008 at 10:28 PM
Know what? That there is no “Status of Forces” agreement yet? I’m pretty darned sure that there isn’t.

MB4 on July 14, 2008 at 11:05 PM

You do not know that there is no “Statues of Forces” agreement because (your assertion) Bush and Malaki are at odds on some major issues. (your words)

If your not going to bother defending your assertions,why bother?

Snake, MB4,

Can you two get any more pessimistic, whiney, narcissistic and egotistical than you already are.

Well now, if Juan “Sucks Socks” McBernie continues to get ever more pro LaRaza, pro McCain/Kennedy, pro McCain/Feingold, pro Al Gore Apocolyptic Global Warming and more “#uck you! I know more than anyone else in this room”, then probably yes.

Snake307 on July,15,2008 at 12:49AM.

Snake307: Thanks for the kind words,and I remember Newt,
when he had “Contract with America”,and how
the Liberal’s railroaded Newt out of politics!

Some crap about taxes he didn’t pay on a book
deal,not quite sure,however at the same time,
Hillary got a free pass!

Every time there’s an affective Republican,
the Libs and MSM figure a way to get rid of
him!

Nice to hear from you again,Snake307,—–:).

canopfor on July 14, 2008 at 11:52 PM

I know Cano, and it’s cool. I think it’s funny that we always label anyone who denounces the party line as a leftist though.

As I said, and I believe that you understand now, I’m a hard core conservative. I believe that social programs should be a safety net, to catch our citizens who’ve fallen off the ladder, before they hit rock bottom. I don’t believe it should be a hammock, and I question why we’ve set it up that way. I asked a fried who’s a loud supporter of Democratic positions that not too long ago.

I told him that there is an old saying that if we give a man a fish, we’ve fed him for a day. If we teach him to fish, we’ve fed him for a lifetime. Why is it then that we only allow programs that issue him a fish a day? Why do we penalize those who try and climb back up the ladder to success?

My Friend, LB, is now more conservative in his thoughts, and his view. It took days of conversations to cover the classic liberal ideals, and reality. Yet, he’s now telling his friends the ideals of conservative principals, and they are agreeing. Most people agree, they want to earn the good life, and we Conservatives aren’t doing this right at all. We’re letting the Party Elite Republicans decide what Conservative is. We’re letting them redefine our history to suit their weakness, and we’re doing it all in the name of short term political gains. We’ve become what we hate, and we’ve embraced the policies of our moral enemies, the Liberals and Socialists.

Compromise means we try to shoot for the stars, and end up barely clearing the trees. That’s reality in politics. Yet, our current crop of Republicans aim for the tops of the trees, and settle for a little hop as they embrace the ideals of the left.

When this is pointed out, by people, and not just myself, we’re labeled as troublemakers. Fine, label me all you want. I really don’t care. However, when you lose more seats in Congress, don’t blame me, because people would rather have the original, than the pale imitation. If they have a choice between Democrat, and Democrat Lite, they’ll choose the original, and I think we’re seeing that these days.

Perhaps the Republicans will wake up and throw these Czarist Princes who think they deserve something for nothing out of the party. Perhaps they’ll once again embrace the ideals which made the Republican Party great, but probably not. The country club Republicans are back in power, and they’re not going to go quietly.

Newt was demonized, and was pretty much a solid Conservative. He led a revolution, huge gains in congress, by espousing Conservative Principals. Welfare Reform happened, because of Conservative Principals. We won landslides on conservative ideals. We forgot that, got complacent, and started to act like the Liberals, special treatment, special perks, special gifts to our friends.

Snake, MB4,

Can you two get any more pessimistic, whiney, narcissistic and egotistical than you already are. Why don’t you two start your own country because you guys are the only people who can run things the way that would make you happy.
I mean each of you would have to start their own country because I have no doubt that you would both be nitpicking each other to death eventually!

Vince on July 14, 2008 at 11:39 PM

Would you like to know what would make me happy? Reagan. A candidate who pushes for less Government, instead of more. A candidate who explains how the individual is in command of their own lives, instead of coming up with more programs and laws to limit the individuals liberty.

Freedom and Liberty is what make me happy. I want the freedom to choose for myself what I want to do. I want the liberty to live my life with absolute minimal interference from anyone. I want to live my life the way that that God intended us to live it. As long as you harm none, do what you will. Instead from McCain the Republican nominee that many on here, perhaps even yourself, have compared to Reagan. Pfui.

McCain is about as closely associated to Reagan as Mondale. IN fact, I think that Mondale was a bit more Conservative than McCain. When I can name Democrats who no one would argue, are more Conservative than McCain, we have a weak candidate. Zell Miller is that Democrat. If Miller was running for the Democrats, the Republicans would be toast.

Why aren’t the Republicans out there on the talking point shows telling America that the higher gas prices are a result of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and the policies they espouse? Because McCain throws anyone who does say that under the bus personally. Sure I can name Conservatives who do say it, Limbaugh for one. They’re not elected leaders, they’re pundits, and they’re not the ones who are supposed to lead are they?

Why aren’t the Republicans out there demanding an elimination of the Ethanol requirement in Gasoline to make food more affordable? Oh well that would upset the voters in Iowa, and we can’t do that, let a Billion people starve, it’s far more important to make a good impression in Iowa.

Yeah, this current track the Republicans are on is so awesome. Let’s cheer the starving people in the world. Yeah team. Let’s cheer the dolt we nominated for President. I just love his cap and trade plan. It makes me proud to know our candidate is going to tax us all into the poor house for non existent man made global warming. I argue global warming supporters into surrender constantly, and our elected leaders surrender at the first chance. They don’t have the guts to lead, and we shouldn’t elect them just because they’ve got an R.

I just love McCain’s platform for the economy. Why, I can’t tell you how good it makes me feel to know that McCain is going to pander to anyone who can get him elected. His stance on Immigration makes me so damn proud that our sons and daughters are over in Iraq risking life and limb, so illegal aliens can steal their identities, screw up their taxes for years to come, and screw up their credit ratings, all so McCain can get his signature (this time) legislation through.

The first amendment says Congress shall pass no laws. It doesn’t say that the Supreme Court shall find any laws which violate invalid, it says Congress shall pass no laws. Yet McCain passed a law, pushed for it constantly, to declare that we can’t speak ill of a candidate for sixty days before an election.

Republicans stand to lose big, because they aren’t willing to stand for anything, and the public figures why bother standing in line for an hour to vote for a punk who’s going to roll over at the first sign of difficulty. I’m so damn proud that our party is now embracing the oppositions platform. I’m so damn proud of the Republicans for surrendering on so many topics that I won’t bother to list them here. I can’t tell you how amazingly proud that I am to be able to come here and support a great candidate like John McCain, and I completely support his immigration amnesty program. I mean, just because someone has been living here committing multiple felonies like identity fraud for years and screwing up real citizens lives is no reason not to support it.

To hell with securing the border, like we expect McCain to do that, he didn’t do it this last time. I’m so damn proud that I can sit here and watch McCain lie to us and not vomit that I can’t begin to describe my joy and euphoria.

Like you Vince, I can’t wait until the prices of everything doubles so we can pay the Government additional taxes through the corporations for creating Greenhouse gas.

You’re right Vince, there is so much to be thankful for in our candidate. I appreciate you’re straightening me out. Sure Obama would be worse, but this way, Republicans get the blame for the rising prices, and we get a true socialist instead of a leftist liberal for President. Thank God we get McCain though.

Is that better?

Funny how elections begin to focus the minds of the electorate.

BTW, did I even tweak you for your prediction that the GOP was going to abandon Bush on Iraq by March?

;-)

Welcome back!

Can you two get any more pessimistic, whiney, narcissistic and egotistical than you already are. Why don’t you two start your own country because you guys are the only people who can run things the way that would make you happy.
I mean each of you would have to start their own country because I have no doubt that you would both be nitpicking each other to death eventually!

The French faced similar unrest and strikes with their citizens. These strikes and civil unrest in Russia led to the Abdication of the Czar. They led to the rise in power of the Communists. This despite the fact that the Russians had nearly beaten the Austrian/Hungarian forces at the time, and had made impressive gains in the Military situation.

The people need to be taken care of too. I don’t mean taken care of from cradle to grave, I mean they need to know that their future is secure at home, as it is being secured overseas. Yet, in this thread, McCain is a fool, which is why he’s not polling higher than he is. With families struggling to stretch a dollar to afford gasoline, food, housing costs, and the rest of that. McCain tells them he won’t drill in ANWR, thus showing the people that he doesn’t care any more than Obama about what they are feeling or going through. People just want a chance to make a better life for themselves, they don’t want Government taking care of them from cradle to grave. Just a fighting chance.

Yet, Washington Elitists like McCain think that people aren’t paying enough taxes, which is why he opposed the Bush Tax Cuts. Yet, now he’s running for office, and all in favor of stimulus checks. Sure, to buy my vote, he’ll pretend to care about how much I’m paying in taxes. Right.

So you wonder why the Democrats are winning in the polls? Here’s why. The Republicans are as lame as they have ever been. They can’t agree on a message, and they can’t rally around McCain the Maverick. He’s got shorter coat tails than Clinton in 96. Yet, the Republicans should be winning hands down. Even with a lame ass candidate like McCain leading the charge.

Instead we get tons of sound bites telling us that Bush and the Republicans are keeping oil company profits high at our expense. Is it true? No. But it is effective. We tried to pick a leader this time, and we got McCain, because it was his turn.

So now you can beat me up about how awful I am to speak ill of St. John McCain. You’ll tell me how important it is to win the war on Terror. I agree by the way, but while it is an important thing, it’s not the only important thing. McCain is the wrong choice, not just at this time, but at any time. So we’ll get President Obama, and the war in Iraq will wind down painfully while he waffles on pull out versus win. In the end, we’ll be lucky if Iran doesn’t take over the entire region.

Watching the Republicans campaign this year is like watching the Russian version of Checkers known as Poddovki. The objective in that game is to lose all of your pieces to your opponent. The Republicans appear to be trying to lose as many seats and elected positions as they can.

According the naysayers and the doomsayers and the people who want to see things go as badly as possible, the situation in Iraq was not supposed to even be as good as it is right now.

Terrye on July 14, 2008 at 10:30 PM

From what Bush said years ago we weren’t even suppose to be there anymore well before now. At least in anything like this kind of numbers. Google some of his and his VP’s words from years ago now.

Do not “assume” that those who want us out of Iraq “want things to go badly”. Frankly it is not very American to do that.

But I for one am glad he is gone.

It is too bad there are people on the extreme right and extreme left who wish the Butcher of Baghdad was still in business.

Terrye on July 14, 2008 at 10:27 PM

Who wishes he were still in “business”? Name, names. I’m glad he and his spawn are out of “business”. I never had any problem at all with doing away with them. My “issue” has always been that I do not think that it is in America’s interest to marry Iraq/Islamic Nation Build.

MB4:

You do not know that.

Terrye on July 14, 2008 at 10:28 PM

And it reaffirms my attitude towards Americans
and America,I thank-you for the video,——-:).

They may just be waiting to see how things develop. Our election might be complicating things. All sorts of issues could be involved.

Sure, from what I’ve read electoral/domestic politics for both countries are complicating things.

In any case, we’ll always have Kuwait and the 5th Fleet.

Not as romantic as “having Paris”, but it’ll do.
