In order to get elected, Osama-bama had to personally destroy his GOP opponent, trotting out sordid--and sealed--allegations to humiliate his little kid.
very hillaryesque

Yeah, but I still loved him in Mortal Kombat II.

Their resistance to both common sense and concern about national security seems deliberate and willful. Are the feelings of young visitors from Saudi Arabia really more important to Barak than the security of his own country?

There is nothing wrong with letting young, healthy, strong, violent barbarians through the gates. We will serve you well and faithfully; We will man your armies, do your menial labour.

And destroy you. Take your women and kill your sons.

Der Cherusker

You're assuming he actually believes what he's saying.

Actually, this is huge!

The Democrats glass jaw is their lack of seriousness on national security. Americans are already suspicious of Democrats on this issue, on an almost instictive level. I'm talking average non-political Americans, they worry.

Can you imagine the impact of running ads showing Obama making these grossly irresponsible comments, over and over? Parents visualizing Obama needlessly subjecting their children to increased risk from terrorists, for what? Political correctness and cheap political points?

Please make Obama the face of the Democrat part, please...

Actually, I doubt Obama had to destroy his opponent. It's just one of the fun parts of running against Republicans in Illinois.

Seriously, Chicago controls the politics of this state down to the smallest detail. We probably won't see another Republican senator for a long, long time.

The local press and radio stations have Kwame Kilpatrick being prepped by the DNC for big things. Possibly a running mate for Barak. Their respective egos,howver, would no doubt make it difficult to stand side by side.
Incidently, being in a red county in a very blue state, our local news outlets mention about 3-4 times a day that Bush may be back on the bottle. I don't know, of course, but it made me realize one thing. The Dems have a very clear agenda and are very focused on their various messages. I don't get that focused feeling from our side. We have to have something more than just to win the war in Iraq. Otherwise, I am concerned that we are going to lose a lot of states. While they seem to be effectively attacking from all side, we are doing very little to even stop them-let alone doing any attacking of our own.

Kwaeme Kilpatrick hasn't a snowflake's chance in Hell on the national scene, even if he renounces his gangsta creds.
If they're grooming him for higher office, then Dems are crazier than I even thought.

Wait. Cynthia McKinney.
OK then, looks like the man has a shot!

The local press and radio stations have Kwame Kilpatrick being prepped by the DNC for big things.

If all I've read about his tactics is correct, the only "big thing" he's headed for is a prison sentence one of these days.

Sending out ballots that have been pre-filled in simply isn't cool.

Maybe it's a good suggestion to treat Canadians and Swedes as a potential threat.

The family of a cousin of mine were studying for their oral exam for US citizenship. My uncle came up with the best way to remember this IL senator's name: using Mubarak (as in Hosni Mubarak) as a mnemonic for Barack, and Osama for Obama. He said, "All I have to do is remember Mubarak and Osama, and I'll remember his name!"

I don't like Obama one bit. Even though I knew Keyes had not a chance to win, I voted for him over Obama anyway. I feel utterly frustrated in that both of my senators are high-profile Democrats. I get more satisfaction from my pseudo-Republican representative in the House (Republican, indeed, but seems like he's absorbed some Democrat values).

I shudder at the thought that Obama is touted as the future of the Democrat Party. Idiot.

My ancestry comes from one of these terrorist-exporting states; I know these people: we must be vigilant against them. Insidious vermin of violence.

It was funny when my senator, Sen. Swimmer (D- Chivas), referred to Obama, as Osama er Olama ar er ar Balama er Malama

Funny enough to make you shake your head in disgust.

Maybe it's a good suggestion to treat Canadians and Swedes as a potential threat.

You never know when the bastards will go all Nordic/Viking on you and start CLEAVING PEOPLE with axes and shit like that.

It could get very ugly indeed. IMO, preemptive nuke strikes are in order. Bomb'em back to the stone age where all they can do is make mud huts and eat lichen.

First off "very Hillaresque" the man's name is Barack Obama get it right. Practice saying it; if that will help your illiteracy. "Der Cherusker" Iraqians ain't barbarians, they are people and apparently you can't seem to know the difference. If they are barbarians what would that make you, an animal? U all can sit and talk shit about equal rights for all but when it all comes done to it, nothing but lies . Y should we treat Iraqian's however we want but if they were to treat american's in the same manner you treat them then it's will become a problem. Yeah Barack is speaking out on what he feels is right and whatz wrong, but I don't Bush doing shit rather than send 18 year old to go kill them self in a war that nobody seem to give a shit about. Y don't you all address all the other issues that's going on but u're wasting u're time hating on Barack for calling us american's out whenever were doing something that's unjust, or maybe u're just haying because oh yeah he's "BLACK" . It make me wonder, Bush has done nothing but drive this country into a hole bunch of things and I don't hear anybody addressing it but once somebody speaks out about then u're ready to tear them to sherds. U're just need to get u're facts straight before u comment about the man and how he's on the side of the Iraqian's. Atleast he's doing something about making life in american more safe. Maybe u won't agree with the way he's going about doing that, but what the hell are u doing to help beside's spreading hate (as if that's gonna stop the killings and bombings). This ain't the time to name call and blame whoever because you don't like the person, this the time we all need to come together and fix the damage Bush has cuz and make our economy better. I don't about u but I don't see y u're all hating on Barack Obama when he's just trying to correct what has gone wrong in american and I fully support him and if you can't see the good in him then maybe you shouldn't have anything hateful to say about him.

What the hell are "Iraqians"?

God, I love it when dumbshits post...

That one has to be a parody. Right?

Iraqian's: The iraq people, I had to give them a name LOL! My bad if it ain't Iraqian's then what the hell is it?

Iraqian's: the Iraq people, she had to refer to them as that. I mean is there another way to refer to them cuz I thought that's what they use like for us it's americans or italian's (it's no different).

Iraqian's: The iraq people, I had to give them a name LOL! My bad if it ain't Iraqian's then what the hell is it?

Iraqis.

"...if you can't see the good in him then maybe you shouldn't have anything hateful to say about him."

Would that the Donks would apply the same standard to the President.

What the hell? Who let the Livejournal preteens in?

First of the president hasn't done anything that I consider to be good and no I don't post hateful things about him. Because I don't have good things to say, then I say nothing. I think that's what she was trying to get across, maybe not in the best way but hey she has her opinion. If u don't have nothing good to say then don't go around posting not so nice things, hateful comments, and calling people names. That's all.

If u don't have nothing good to say then don't go around posting not so nice things, hateful comments, and calling people names. That's all.

That was the point? Then what was the bilge on the war and unspecified economic damage about? Or calling Barak critics racists? Or the accusation that anyone who criticizes Bush gets torn to "sherds" even though nobody talks about the "hole bunch" of bad things he drove the country into?

And shouldn't the two of you be doing homework or something? Tomorrow is a school day, kids.

Well isn't sheddean right. Most democrat's are torn to shreds because they never have nothing good to say about how Bush is running the country or when they address issues like home land securty, the war in Iraq, healthcare, social security and among other things; the media makes a field day at it. Us as readers tend to get caught up in it and forget the real issues at hand. Which is for us here in american to finally feel a sense of safety where ever we go. When I take the train I don't want to be looking over my shoulders wondering whether or not am gonna get off the train alive. I'm tired of people bitching about gas price rising every second. Come on people, lets focus on the issues not about who's calling who names and bullshit like that.

Barack Oblowme.

It's called arguing the merits and the Dems are simply not serious about the issues. They would cheerfully undermine our efforts at home and abroad, making us less prosperous and less safe, for the sake of partisanship. They tend to lose those arguments, in spite of media support, because they are simply wrong. It isn't bad form to point out the foolishness of their positions.

Kirk said it would make sense to give extra scrutiny to the visa applications of people who fit the terrorist profile and are coming from terrorist-producing countries. That's simply common sense. Obama is trying to mau-mau the issue away because the lib base loves to see Republicans called racists and the Dems don't really have any useful policy proposals of their own. Changing the subject from, "What can we do to make our country safer from the people making war on it," to, "Are Republicans racists," takes the focus off the Dems where they are weak. It also reinforces an untrue meme that keeps the black component of the Dem base firmly on the plantation in Stalinist proportions, something without which the Dems cannot survive as a party.

This is just another nasty round of irresponsible political mudslinging from the left at the expense of serious issues. The media, being seriously left of center themselves, won't take them to task for it but the rest of us are free to point out the obvious on our own.

VRWC Agent, you are on f'n fire!

the Dems are simply not serious about the issues!

Are u kidding me; and u think the republicans are serious. Come on, the republicans don't even know what to do with the issues not to mention how to address them truthfully and with out extra scrutiny. Obama is not trying to mau-mau the issue (whatever that means), he's simply saying we should not target every individual that do come from terrorist-producing countries. We need to treat them in the same manner we would treat Canadians and Swedes. The dems I give, they are alittle weak but what u expect when they are being criticize for not responding to Bush and his administration when they suppose to on most issues and then when they do address it. It's not good eneough for u people, u just got to wonder well what the hell you want us to do when we ain't getting no support just criticism. It's not because they're trying to take the pressure off themselves so they bring up issues like "racist" or what not. It's because it's there and it shouldn't. Yes I agree this is just another nasty round of irresponsible politic's but what u expect when people are ignorant, impatient, and just like u VRWC (mad as hell or simply just piss off).

the republicans don't even know what to do with the issues not to mention how to address them truthfully and with out extra scrutiny.

Uhh, extra scrutiny is one of the things we can do to address security. Duh! Do you have any examples of what you are talking about because you aren't giving the rest of us much of a clue.

Obama is not trying to mau-mau the issue (whatever that means)

Here is a tip: First find out what something means, THEN deny it.

he's simply saying we should not target every individual that do come from terrorist-producing countries. We need to treat them in the same manner we would treat Canadians and Swedes.

Right. Because we have all those serious problems with Canadian Episcopalians flying jets into our skylines and Swedish Lutherans declaring jihad on us.

You're talking nonsense.

u just got to wonder well what the hell you want us to do when we ain't getting no support just criticism.

Honey, WE are the ones who keep putting policies and reforms on the table. Support you?? How? By seconding the irresponsible sniping and telling you how smart you are to keep trotting out defenses of decades old BS? I'll pass.

So you think we are racists? Prove it. I'm pretty sure about what goes on in my head, but if you have a superior take I'll listen to it. If your posts so far are any example, though, you don't seem to have any take at all. Just empty, misspelled, and grammatically mangled accusations. No wonder the left is imploding.

Thrilling use of rhetoric, I especially like the way you keep changing your name to agree with yourself. And "Iraqians". Wow. Just... wow.

YO BUSH SUX!

HOLLA!

WHY DON'T U CARE ABOUT IRAQIAN'S?????

THEY LIKED SADDAM LOTTZORZ.

Obama is not black . he is mulatto and the black half is not African American it is moslim Kenyan.

Uh... someone give me a refresher. WHERE is Kenya, again?

I last saw Kenya at the mall with Rwanda.

Seriously, what the hell? How many people on this thread are old enough to have a driver's license? You guys need to learn to communicate in something other than sms txt msg, or you give the game away right out of the gate.
