    I'm also waiting for Obama to grey his hair. Democrats always grey their hair at the temples when running for re-election to manipulate the public.

    Whatever happened to all those mysterious women who accused Herman Cain of sexual harassment with no proof? Where did they disappear to?

    Has anyone ever noticed how viciously Democrats attack Republican minority candidates? Women are called stupid, and black men are attacked with sexual harassment charges.

    The media doesn't care. There will be no follow up story. Cain dropping out of the race after the accusation of a long term affair left public sentiment in a final state they are happy with. No need to investigate further.

    The veracity of the accusations against Cain is only slightly more newsworthy than the glitzy Haloween bash the Obama's threw at the White House in October 2009 at the peak of the recession.



    Let them eat cake.

    Democrats are hypocrites..

    Anyway, mission accomplished here.

    Black man gone.
    Women gone.
    All that's left to take down is Newt.
    Too bad he' got no more skeletons.

    I've figured out the Democrats' strategy for Obama 2012. He's going to be featured in a lot of human interest interviews, some with his wife. "I'm a warm, likable person. Who cares if I'm incompetent, you like me. If you don't vote for me, you'll hurt my feelings. You don't want to hurt my feelings, do you? I'm sensitive".

    Democrats are suckers for that approach.

    I disagree. I think he will do one of two things depending on whom he is addressing:

    1. We have made tremendous progress overcoming the disaster GWB created for us. Unemployment is down, the wars are over and the economy is back on track!

    Lie number 2. Bush f'd things up worse than we thought. I will need at least 4 more years to fix the damage!

    This is what they are going for. Democrats are playing an upside-down game - they are blaming the Republicans in the House for the economy, so the Democrats need to keep the economy down to keep that strategy. That was obvious when the Democrats in the Senate voted down Obama's own job plan.

    They're still going to play the likability angle.

    The more pressing point rather isn't whether he's crazy for proposing to do away with the Federal Reserve. The question should be, why not?

    Hmm Republicans didn't put up anyone good so it'll probably be Obama once again. There was a rumor somewhere that Clinton may switch with Biden as Vice President, not sure what came of that. If a Republican were to win, it'd probably be Romney.

    We wish to see a president who's steadfast enough not to be swayed by radical religious concepts hiding beneath modern conservative ideas because these concepts largely influence domestic policies beginning with the family and society. Religious beliefs impact our lives to a large extent more than our attitude towards science and development in the modern world. This is a big problem that requires supreme ability to balance conflicting interests around the world...

    Radical Religious Modern Conservative Ideas:
    • Government subsidies for marriage were designed for child rearing
    • Families are the basic building block of the social fabric of American culture
    • We need to take care of those who are unable to take care of themselves
    • We need to take care of the elderly
    • Christmas trees should be able to be legally placed in Federal, State, and city government buildings

    Totally agree! These dangerous new ideas are a threat to the Union. We've managed to get by for over 200 years without this crap. Where did these radicals come from?

    Hmmm..... Let's look at some political figures, shall we?
    REVEREND Jesse Jackson - DEMOCRAT
    REVEREND Al Sharpton - DEMOCRAT

    Democrat Leaders Merge Religion and Party


    Wow! What radical ideas! No wonder the Democrats are against that entire list!

    Romney: "I will insist on a military so powerful noone will ever think of challenging it"....scary thought indeed.

    Sounds like he's scared to me. Just think of all those rights you still have to lose. Americans would have to be truly crazy to keep on his bandwagon from that one comment alone.

    Looks like Obamas coming back to me. Go Democrats!

    So, how strong a military do you think the USA should have?

    The concept behind what Romney said is that the USA has a military so strong that war becomes obsolete (duh). Why are you opposed to making war obsolete?

    Because dropping your arms is how you get real peace. Otherwise it's not real, it's fake (or forced) however you spin it, you'll always be worried someone's going to need them, or worse, use them.
