The problem is that there is a gray area as to that point (i.e., the proper function of government. McCain lacks logical, defendable principles for limiting taxation.)

Is the government responsible for a military? Yes. Transit systems? Schools? Healthcare? Making sure we all have internet or TV? No!!

The clearest thinker on this subject was Ayn Rand. Her brand of philosophy were mischaracterized by the media, just as conservatism is now.

Now perhaps conservatives know how it feels.

And you realize when they are talking about “kids” he is talking about very young children starting around eight or so. Most of their programs are geared towards getting the kids to write cutesy stuff about how great Obama is or why he should be president with pictures they draw.

Psychologically interesting. Dare I mention who this reminds me of? The list is short, but interesting.

Global tax? What the hell?!

Not news.

Sarah Palin’s wardrobe?

Now that’s news.

The gullibility of human beings is astounding. P.T. Barnum was right.

While very true, for those that have gone off the edge, remember that we are trying to persuade the middle and independents to STOP at the edge of the abyss, wake up and pay attention.
No defeatism allowed here; let’s not give up yet!
(Tho’ it’s true that web youth ads needs more like, mocking sarcasm and wink-wink ridicule. The brownshirt connection idea is ripe….)

Sending money to the U.N., we may as well flush it down the toilet.

Actually, if we want to be efficient, we should just arrange to make direct deposits of the money into the Swiss and Cayman Island bank accounts of the U.N. administrators who will be overseeing the program — because based on past experience (e.g., food-for-oil, etc.) that’s where most of our money will end up anyway.

Besides the abortion issue, that’s probably the biggest beef I have with freaking liberals. Their programs don’t work or they’re flat nonexistent. Don’t send our money to the UN when we have folks here that need that money. If you have to tax me, make it count.

I know the Democrats are invested in a thriving poor underclass to vote for them, but I’d rather see everyone doing well and let the political chip fall where they may. How can America be voting for this guy.

WE HAVE OUR OWN GOD DAMN POOR YOU DAMN ELITIST IDIOT!!!!

grrrr

Nobody voting for Obama cares about the issues. Not even a bit.

So explaining the realities of those issues isn’t going to help.

Obama could come out tomorrow in favor of mandatory gun ownership and nuking France with baby seal carcasses and pumping extra flourocarbons into the atmosphere … and they’d still vote for him.

It’s a religion now. A cult. Reason is gone. What he’s done, what he will do, does not matter a bit.

The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.

Holy crap! I don’t remember hearing about this little turd. I wonder what my one friend would think of this… she’s voting for 0bama because she thinks the Europeans have got it right as far as government and socialism, other words, she’s ok with a little socialism here at home too.

And no, I didn’t coach her, she gets the whole thing!

If they want to appeal to young voters, they need to talk about Obama’s obsession with total authority.

Yep.

Much more effective than talking about economics.

Even better would be finding a way to make him uncool.

Talk economics to every voter who is trying to support a family, or plan for retirement.

These f’tards are barely able to sit through American Idol. This is why they LOVE Obama. He’s cool, he’s collected….and he’s black. Cool.

Obama will be decidedly uncool after the first crisis Biden predicted prompts Obama to enact the draft.

A 20 something female I work with said she could never vote McCain because Palin wears those $500. designer glasses.
I admit, I was speechless.
No point is arguing with a walking air bubble.

Has that bimbo priced a pair of decent frames that carry lenses providing for a bifocal correction? The combined cost likely exceeds $500. Welcome to real life honey.

The bill, which has the support of many liberal religious groups, makes levels of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations.

We can thank that sh*thead Jim Wallis, his Sojourners group, and other “Christian” leaders who support Obama in nonsense like this. Wallis and these other clownshave concluded that God’s informed them that they need to suck at the teat of the U.S. government to combat poverty at home and abroad. These are matters that should be left to private, not government, efforts. I hate that “Christian” leaders such as Wallis have aligned themselves with Obama in this effort. Sending money to the U.N., we may as well flush it down the toilet.
