  Sen. Clinton is toast….

  Even though I am voting for Sen. McCain in the general election, I am going out on a limb and saying Sen. Obama is our next President.

  I think in the general debates, Sen McCain will come across as old and mean. Sen. Obama will come across as fresh.

  I know alot of people will say Sen. Obama’s ideas are horrible, Sen. McCain’s ideas are better, etc.
  But lets face it..American’s are for the most part superficial. Thats why we have been on a quest to buy bigger and bigger houses…we bragged about the performance of our 401k’s..lease those fancy cars (because we cant afford to outright buy them, but we have to show people we are wealthy), etc.
  Before anyone disagrees that we as a society are superficial…I should warn you, I already booked-marked 20+ statements from regular posters on here that bragged incessantly about their material wealth…yet never mentioned how great their kids were doing, how wonderful their wife was..etc.

  From an image (read superficial) standpoint, Sen. McCain doesnt stand a chance.

  The deciding factor will be the independents who are hungry for someone fresh/new.

  52 Second YouTube Video: Barack Hussein Obama-in His Own Words-Demonstrating why he Totally Unfit to be the Next President of America

  Disarming America while we are in the midst of a global war. Suicidal and insane.

  Question: If Obama becomes the next president, can America survive the damage he will inflict on it over the next 4 years?!

  Freedom: Question: If Obama becomes the next president, can America survive the damage he will inflict on it over the next 4 years?!

  Well… it is hard to say. We’ve survived 8 yrs of the current disaster, so I guess 4 yrs of Obama will be a piece of cake.
  It will probably take at least 4 yrs to dig out from the last 8 yrs of the current administration. After that, then we can get to your question.

  Freedom,

  The biggest difference between you and I…I believe in this country..no matter who wins the election.

  The founding fathers (I’m not sure what the mothers were doing) formed our country so that it is very difficult for a President to assume the powers afforded to a dictator.

  You think this country wont survive an Obama presidency. I happen to think our country will survive anything.

  It is nice to know you have so little faith in our country.
  ;)

  Brett, so you’re calling Obama a “dictator”?

  Huh. Your word, not mine.

• 6. brett michaels  |  February 27th, 2008 at 1:10 am

  Freedom,
  No, I was saying if the presidency were a dictatorship, then perhaps a president could ruin our country.
  However it’s not. So I believe in this country and I know it will survive no matter who is president.

  You however express doubts in the strength of this country.

  I thought the debate was tailor made for Hillary with two strong Clinton Supporters asking the questions.

  When can we be done with the Clintons? She wants the position because she thinks she deserves it nothing more… You think she really cares about you? Get real.

  Because of blog websites like this one and the thousands of others that skirt the mainstream media filters, the Bilderbergers are losing control.

  Don’t get too comfortable, though. They won’t go quietly into that goodnight…

  “You however express doubts in the strength of this country.” - Brett Michaels

  Oh, the country will still exist. The question is will America still be recognizable as America- the free, capitalistic, strong, noble nation it is today? Or will Obama “change” America into an unrecognizable socialist/communist hellhole with perhaps a few smoking craters where whole cities once stood? Listen to the video above, Barack Hussein Obama wants to disarm America…in the middle of a global war.

  The real question is can the Clintons handle four years of an Obama presidency.

• 11. DM  |  February 27th, 2008 at 8:45 am

  Should Obama win the nomination, I wonder if the Clintons and their followers will throw their weight behind McCain. If Obama were to win the Presidency then she’ll likely have to wait 8 years to even try again. With McCain as President she can return to try again in 4. Somehow I don’t think she’s willing to accept defeat this time around and certainly not willing to wait 8 years for another shot if it comes to that

  Unlike Romney, I believe she’s more the mindset of “what’s best for Hillery” than what’s best for the party or the country. Just a thought.

  Clinton should bow out gracefully. She is coming across as a sore loser and a sook. She even complained about media bias during the debate. I personally thought it was ridiculous considering what has been circulated about all THREE candidates. Watching last night kind of reminded me of the Zidine Zadane (sp?) head butt in the 2006 world cup. A player who after a distinguished career will always be associated with such unsportsmanlike and disrespectful conduct.

  Then again Clinton could always cry on national television again.

  9. Freedom1 | February 27th, 2008 at 5:12 am

  You may consider America as free, capitalistic & strong, Freedom1, but I would argue that it is no longer noble. The Bush doctrine has removed any nobility that your country may have possessed.

  Let’s hope that under a new administration it can be regained.

• 14. Almiranta  |  February 27th, 2008 at 11:36 am

  Same old same old from the rabid Libs. Bilderberger. Bush doctrine. Disaster.

  You guys don’t even need to post. Just give us the page numbers from the radical Left playbook.

  It’s the same old hate-filled BDS cant, and would save us all a lot of time.
  ……………

  I said, during the Clinton years, that this country is strong enough to handle his presidency, and it was.

  I think it could handle another Clinton presidency, though with damage and battle scars, particularly in the area of a Supreme Court laden with activist agenda-driven judges. The undermining of the Constitution and the decades it would take to undo the damage done by judicial fiat would be severe. And it is impossible to unring the bells of entitlement programs, but on those issues Hillary would have to have the approval of Congress, and that is not a slam dunk.

  But Hillary is a realist, and she also has learned a lot about how government works. I also think that, in spite of the known and documented extremely radical Leftist philosophies of her earlier days, which have many of us worried that her new moderate face is just an effort to hide her ongoing allegiance to these same Socialist themes, she is less radical than Obama. And she does understand the need for military action to defend the country and to weaken our enemies. I think she learned a lot from the message sent by Osama, that her husband’s weaknesses gave Al-Queda the green light to continue, and escalate, their attacks.

  I do think that Obama would be impotent as a president, with no more power than that of appointing justices, because he is clueless about how government works, and is so wildly radically Left that he would have a hard time getting Congress to go along with him. He is far more radical than Hillary, and I think far more controllable by outside interests, partly because he is so avidly ambitious and greedy for power and acclaim and partly because he is just so naive and inexperienced. But his heart clearly lies in extremely radical and Leftist agendas, far more so than Hillary’s.

  I also see his ego soaring due to the adulation of his adoring fans. And that, I think, is the weakest link in the Obama campaign—the fact that he does not have political supporters, he has groupies. And he seems to be buying into the fanatsy that swooning fans and hysterical applause elevate him to a level of competence he simply does not possess.

  “Question: If Obama becomes the next president, can America survive the damage he will inflict on it over the next 4 years?!”

  Well it’s hanging on by it’s fingernails after 8 years of “the Decider” so Obama can only be a welcome relief.

  Personally I never thought I’d see the day when Republicans would be relieved to see one of their own out of the White House but that day has certainly come.

  Even the Donkeys are admitting that the Hildebeast is defeated by Obama. She is correct in pointing out media bias. When this race started the media was in coronation mode, implying that the whole election process was just a formality as a prelude to Hillary taking her rightful place in the Whitehouse. But then came Obama and Iowa and slowly the foolishness of the Clinton campaign strategy was enough that even her biggest media backers saw the impending defeat. So they switched sides to the obvious winner, Obama. Now she calls that unfair. Heh.

  Obama WILL be our next President and we can finally start rebuilding this great country and our standing in the world! Say what you will about him, he has the ability to rise above partisanship and he demonstrates class while doing so! Did you see his answer to tape of Hillary mocking him?!?!? It was BRILLIANT and he conceded her point, but then showed how much substance is behind his rhetoric.

  Just TRY to disparage him as empty talk. . .it didn’t work for Hillary and it won’t work in the GE:

  “More than anything else, I want my candidacy to unify our country, to renew the American spirit and sense of purpose. I want to carry our message to every American, regardless of party affiliation, who is a member of this community of shared values . . . For those who have abandoned hope, we’ll restore hope and we’ll welcome them into a great national crusade to make America great again!”

  Would you call THAT empty rhetoric?

• 18. Aaron  |  February 27th, 2008 at 4:40 pm

  Yes, it was a bad night for Hillary. Which means it was an even worse night for McCain.

  McCain is only here now because he only has to share the stage with 8 other pasty white unimpressive old farts. Once people see him side-by-side with and going toe-to-toe with Obama, he’s going to look like warmed-over crap.

  Almiranta: “I do think that Obama would be impotent as a president, with no more power than that of appointing justices, because he is clueless about how government works, and is so wildly radically Left that he would have a hard time getting Congress to go along with him.”

  I really, really hope you’re right about that. But, I don’t know. I’ve lost count of the number of Republicans who have decided not to run for re-election. I think there’s a good possibility that Obama could end up with a Senate with 60 Democrats led by the radical leftist Harry Reid. There would be little that the Republicans could do to stop Obama and his socialist/communist agenda, then. Again, I really hope I’m wrong about all this.

  BTW, have you watched the 52 second video I posted about Obama, Almiranta? It’s unbelievable!

  Canadian Observer: “You may consider America as free, capitalistic & strong, Freedom1, but I would argue that it is no longer noble. The Bush doctrine has removed any nobility that your country may have possessed.”

  CO, you just deeply insulted and offended the people of an entire nation. The Canadian Inquistion should be looking into this and filing charges of hate speech against you, soon….
