    Thank you Todd. People made a big deal about Obama not wearing a Lapel Pin and yet Sarah Palin is directly linked to a gentleman who said he didn't want to be buried under an American flag and believed in putting Alaska before his country.

    And Sarah Palin and her husband endorsed such whackjobs as evidenced by her clip in that video.

    And people think she's ready to lead the country? Unbelievable. "Country First" my ass.

    Wow, what a coincidence. I just found out like 2 minutes ago that my cousin's fiance teaches at Univ. of Illinois - Chicago, the same school Ayers teaches at. Does that make me a terrorist too? :rolleyes:

    "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!"
    "TRAITOR!"
    "HE'S A TERRORIST!"*




    *actual things said by McCain/Palin supporters out loud about Obama at recent rallies.

    Wow, I heard about that yesterday.

    They'd better start beefing up security, huh? I'm starting to see assassination attempts becoming completely plausible with all the fear and hate mongering the republicans have managed to cause.

    It's funny isn't it? How everyone's a McCain or an Obama fanatic, and it gets to a point of calling names, insults? How Immature can that be? Didn't we used to do that in middle school? High school? Is it, the side who calls out names and insults more, the winner? Or is it the person who stops and continue His/Her points and principles out though being inflamed by insults, the winner?

    It's disappointing how dividing this election is becoming.


    edit: hey! I finally found a video!

    Security is already pretty amazing. The Secret Service, who protects Obama, doesn't fuck around. I was at the big event where he announced Joe Biden as the VP, and security for those of us going in was just about as thorough as it is at the airport, and the place was surrounded by military snipers on rooftops of buildings.

    Hmmm....I taught a class on financial responsibility, was part of an award winning anti-drug team, finished runner-up in my state's Mock Trial team competition and was a leader in my Junior Achievement program. I can fix the economy and be President!


    :rolleyes:;)

    I'm really getting sick of people saying "You only support him because he's/you're black" after asking me who I support. It's annoying and stupid. I don't care if a person is of any race or religion or what ever. What I care about is that I share basic views and beliefs and that I think the person would be good as president. I mean damn, why the hell ask if you want to come back with asome snotty rude remark when I answer?

    I'm not going to say its the liberal media that is manipulating voter apathy but how can Obama go from a 10 or 11 point poll lead and the talk of this race is over and Obama has won already (which I called that months ago) down to a 6 point lead in just a few days? Then I read where now they are looking at particular counties that Obama is leading in.....counties, really?

    My friend said something that I think makes a lot of sense and is funny at the same time.

    "Voting is just like driving an automatic. If you want to go backwards, choose "R". if you want to go forward, choose "D""
