:nightcraw:

Do you think that McCain will give his acceptance speech from the steps of the former Enron headquarters, or the at the entrance to the Lincoln Savings and Loan in Irvine, CA?

 

[angellous_evangellous]

Better than making a sacrifice on the altar of McCain.

 

[angellous_evangellous]

Dang that's a great joke.

 

[Theocan]

Wow, I forgot to laugh.

You criticize Obama on something so frivolous yet McCain says he "doesnt know much about the economy" and "things the last eights were pretty prosperous" but you rather criticize someone that is able to make good speeches and bring some optimism back to the people and the government.

Pretty pathetic.

What is Zeus aka Obama going to do? What is his plan? Hope and change. Big deal. Every politician in the world can cough up that phlegm for rhetoric.

Give me solid reasons to vote for Obama and I will consider him. But as of to date Obamaniacs can only say he is black, or articulate, or a thinker. Big whoop de doo!

I want to see this change plan spelled out like Ross Perot and his clip boards. Obama is nothing special, yet there are too many uninformed zombies out there following this guy as if he is some god send to earth.

He is a man. He is a used car salesman to put it more honestly. He is ambiguous about his plans on purpose. By omitting and downplaying what he really stands for he keeps the sheople following along tongue hanging out and mouths drooling.

It is like he is Pavlov and all the Obamanians are his dogs.

At least I know what I am getting with McCain. I am getting a liberal Republican who supports the military, is pro life, has spent time in government office for years now, soft on illegal immigration, and supports some forms of energy development.

Obama? He is a windsock. One way he is blowing east and the next north. I am looking for a leader. I believe Obama would be a leader. He would lead our nation down the wrong road to socialism and to the dumbing down of our individual liberties. He has a record. Look at his friends and supporters. Ayers, Wright, Farrakahn?

As for his speaking take away the teleprompter and you have Porky Pig. Obama is a Marxist with radical views. I would vote for Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton before Obama.

What amazes me is you all seem to downplay his ego trip. If he is our next prez are you going to crown him Emporer of America or wish you could turn back the clock?

I am well versed in current events and I believed I am as informed, probably better, than many posters on this board. But hey if you all want to follow the Obama machine that is your right.

Just respect my right to offer my sacrifice to Obama's porcelin god!:bow:

Most of the government buildings in Washington DC are Greek Revival in their style. I'm quite sure that the backdrop for the convention stage is intended to be evocative of Washington DC architecture, as after all, it is a POLITICAL convention. (You really gotta stop listening to Rush.)

 

[NoahideHiker]

Now will Obama be riding into the temple on a pig?

He will end tax breaks to oil companies (McCain will do that) Give the American people 1,000 tax rebate for being hammered at the bumps.
He will also end tax breaks for companies that shift are jobs overseas (McCain wants more of that.)
End heavy tax burdens on small business

Those are just imediate things Obama is going to do.

While we can all hope for National Healthcare, and shifting funds to Green Energy jobs to create news and find alternate source of energy.

McCain?

- He will reinstate that draft (no joke, look it up)

- Run the country like Enron

- And oppose all positions that Obama supports

Do you mean, the same way that people like you fawn over McCain because he is a POW? Or the way you worship at his feet because of the (R) that appears after his name?

It is like he is Pavlov and all the Obamanians are his dogs.

Grampa - tell me the story of our saviour, Ron Reagan again. I just love the part where he single handedly saved the free world from those evil Russians.

You are getting a man that has historically been pro-choice, and changed his position (within the last two years) so that he could pander to the social conservatives. You are talking about a man that has repeatedly voted AGAINST our veterans and supporting our troops with anything more than rhetoric. Did you mention the term "windsock"? YouTube - John McCain vs. John McCain

Look at his friends and supporters. Ayers, Wright, Farrakahn?

Let's contrast that with John McCains's list of friends - Jack Abramoff, Lord Bush, Ralph Reed, Jack Keating, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and a list of lobbyists that have bought and sold him so many times that he looks like one of those used cars you were talking about.

As for his speaking take away the teleprompter and you have Porky Pig.

Apparently you didn't bother to follow the link to the video of McCain trying to complete a thought that I gave you in the other thread. Try this one: YouTube - McCain's Greatest Senior Moments
After watching that, if you'd like to discuss the pauses that Obama makes to reflect on his answers prior to just throwing out a Bushism, let me know.

Obama is a Marxist with radical views.

So far, in this post alone, you have called Obama a used car alesman, a marxist, a socialist, "nothing special", ambiguous, a windsock, an emporer, an egotist, and Porky Pig.
Not that I think you would stoop as low as to commit an ad hominem attack or anything so shallow or specious as that ...
To be honest, Zippy, I think you don't really even understand what half of your talking points mean. You throw "socialist" and "Marxist" out there in about every third post you make. I honestly don't think you even understand what you are saying.

What amazes me is you all seem to downplay his ego trip. If he is our next prez are you going to crown him Emporer of America or wish you could turn back the clock?

I highly doubt that anyone will ever wish to "turn back the clock" to these halcyon days of the Bush II presidency. Well, other than Dickless Cheney and the neocon puppetmasters ...

I am well versed in current events and I believed I am as informed, probably better, than many posters on this board.

I disagree completely. I see you as nothing more than a mouthpiece for whatever pamphlet the Republican party has sent to you in the mail yesterday. Your posts (as I pointed out earlier) are nothing more than ad hominem attacks on the Democrat du jour, with no real substance. In my opinion, it is as if Karl Rove himself is sitting at your keyboard. Come to think of it, Karl Rove would probably be a little more subtle with his smears than you are.

Now will Obama be riding into the temple on a pig?

If he does, can we all gather round for some bacon, after the convention is over?

 

[NoahideHiker]

I haven't been to a good hog roast in years. I doubt if I was at the convention I'd have much of an appetite though. LOL!

 

[Autodidact]

The facts, from the story:
Some 80,000 supporters will see Obama appear from between plywood columns painted off-white, reminiscent of Washington's Capitol building or even the White House, to accept the party's nomination for president.

 

[NoahideHiker]

A total non issue which only serves to distract from the real crux of the weakness of his experience and his Marxist policies. Let's move along, shall we?

 

[Mathematician]

You created this thread. Some back tracking.

If you're satisfied with the status quo, then you don't want change. If you are not happy with what's going on, then you want to know that the President wants to change it.

O.K., here are some specifics:

1. Economy. It's tanking right now. We need a plan for change, cuz the Bush administration deficit approach is destroying us. (I can go into more detail on this if you like.) Obama plan is to turn the economy around much the same as Clinton did, by encouraging growth and investment in new technology, in this case, green industry. This is the way of the future, and our economic strength depends on being in the forefront, not buying this stuff from Japan.

Also, the Obama approach to the economy is basically bottom-up. Again, during the Clinton administration, the poor got richer and the rich got richer. Rich people don't really benefit from making the rest of us poorer. Higher wages means consumers who can buy things from industry, which is good for industry. So Obama wants to reverse the trend to bifurcating our economy and reducing wages and wealth for those on the bottom. This will also benefit those at the top.

O.K., got to go now, more on the issues later, for those who really are interested. Also I can expound on any of this and provide more details.

Next up: Iraq.

How thta can be twisted into "Greek temple" with Obama's Messiahship is just downright hilarious.

One born every minute - I just wish I was fleecing them instead of someone else. :biglaugh:

Anyway, I'm sure there were several brothels in ancient times with the Greek columns - Obama, lord pimp.

McCain?

- He will reinstate that draft (no joke, look it up)

- Run the country like Enron

- And oppose all positions that Obama supports

Oil companies are to blame for getting the crude to run the country? Obama will drive the price of gas up. As for taxes Obama will raise taxes for all people. Corporations will take up and run out of the country because Obama will raise windfall profits taxes for every company and the companies will not only outsource jobs, but move offshore so that they can avoid taxes.

As for McCain reinstate the draft? Not necessarily. Run the country like Enron? Isn't it already run like that under Bush? I already oppose Obama's Marxist positions.
