Over 46,000 people are killed in traffic accidents EVERY YEAR in this country. That comes to a staggering 332,000 people have lost their lives since the attack on the World Trade Center. I'm more afraid of my neighbors than any terrorist threat aimed at me by the "Fear Mongers." Wake up people. They're playing you like a fiddle and you're buying into every note. It's good for their "Business." Want to save our people from the greatest imminent threat? I'll leave the answer up to you. OK, here goes.

The terrorists are just sitting back laughing at how gullible Americans are for falling at the feet of Obamanation. He'll run under Michelle's dress tail so fast she won't know what hit her. They'll hit and they'll hit hard. I just hope the place they hit is right where you idiots are sitting, relaxing, letting the government pick up the tab for your medicaid, food stamps, etc and drinking your kool-aid. We aren't living in a war torn country - dodging bombs and martyrs - but we will be as soon as Obamanation gets selected. This is real folks, and pretending (as you did when you were a child) that it isn't does not make it any less real. You'd better grow up and start caring what happens on US soil. It's coming folks - you'd better get your head out of the sand and get ready. You laugh now, let's see how hard you laugh when it hits right in your own back yard.

Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:42:34 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=8347#comment-1319627 I'm a supporter of Senator Obama, IF I were Senator McCain, I'd argue that going along with the same strategies that have been in place over the last 6 years is why he should get their vote. Strategy works as there are no new attacks, especially not on US territory. That is fact. The problem with that though, as the article points out, is that McCain then ties himself to President Bush and all of the woeful baggage he brings due to his overwhelming unpopularity. And as people reflect back over his eight years, they are going to realize that not much good happened under Bush's watch. By the way, President Bush, thanks for taking Nelson Mandela off the terror watch list this week, along with Ghandi and Mother Teresa a little while ago. As the article also correctly points out, as more people have less fear of terrorism, they then reflect back on those things that are affecting their every day lives. Gas prices, food prices, energy prices, lack of healthcare for many ($7+ million uninsured), crumbling infrastructure (bridges falling), the environment (as the ice cap may fully thaw this summer for the first time ever), education experiences and learning at primary school and cost of higher education. For all of these things, Senator Obama's message resonates very clearly, very loudly and most importatnly, very positively. As a Christian moderate/conservative, I believe strongly in family. I don't see Senator McCain as upholding (certainly not in his private life in divorcing his first wife, although for financial reasons, a lot of people have done the same thing) the ISSUES which help strengthen the family. I listed the issues above. Senator Obama has from his very beginning, perhaps because he had such a non-traditional family, felt he needed to cling to the notion of a strong family. I know I did even. For while I had 4 siblings, I didn't have one of my parents for very long due to an early age death. As such, Obama's life's work, and the causes he champions now, positions him to move this country in a a very wonderful way forward. For that, he gets my full support.
