Be careful too, Jesse has a sharp knife.

BOTH DEMS AND REPUBS ARE TAKING OUR FREEDOMS AWAY!
Bush and the Patriot Act and Obama voting FOR FISA!! The list goes on and on. No one is talking about this. Many people say that the eavesdropping without a warrant is fine because they don't talk to "terrorists" overseas. Well, what happens when the definition of "terrorist" is expanded?

We've now lost Habeas Corpus. All of these new laws do not make us safer. They perpetuate the idea that we must have the goverment say what we can and can't do, rather than us telling the government. We don't need a Nanny named Uncle Sam.

Barr '08!! for freedom and individual responsibility!!

BARACK OBAMA 08

"I want to use all elements of American power to keep us safe, and prosperous, and free." So what does Obama propose he do, specifically, to accomplish this? His supporters get so indignant whenever people ask for specifics, it's really telling of their shallow support and lack or real substance. Let's stop patting ourselves on the back for supporting a black candidate and get down to the details of what he will actually do."

Matt, why don't you be more specific? I think you're under the impression like so many others that he's already the president. Gramm was right. There are alot of whiners. If McCain was Black, who would you vote for? My money's on Barrack.

Oh, and he's cute as a button.

Someone old enough to be his mother.

Barack 08

"A new Quinnipiac poll shows Obama leading McCain nationally by nine points, 50%-41%. Per a release, “Independent voters split 44%-44%… Sen. McCain has a slight 47%-44% edge among men voters and a larger 49%-42% lead among white voters. But black voters back Sen. Obama 94%-1%, while women support him 55%-36%. Obama leads 63-%-31% percent among voters 18 to 34 years old and 48%-44% among voters 35 to 54, while voters over 55 split with 45% for McCain and 44% for Obama.”

Put your money where your mouth is and join up please. We need you over there. I'm serious. And tell Cheney and Rumsfield that you want more boots on the ground. It was their idea to outsource the war, and do as much as they can with weapons (defense contractors) instead of infantry (you, if they would have you)

Also, the New Yorker's cover depiction is something that's on the minds of a considerable number of voters. Including some black voters. The Reverend Jackson???

Stay tuned!

Going in is no longer an issue... we are there. Leaving will cause genocide... so if that's what you are comfortable with... so be it. But don't be under any false hope that it will lead to anything else.

For those of you on here who have served... I'm not speaking to you... Your opinion has my respect on this issue.

Come on Barack, you're too sneaky, but there will be kind of New Yorker magazine and Japanese monkey ad to come, not because of Republicans (like your jihad supporters and darling media do to always blame the Republicans), but because it is the truth, your truth color, senator (inexperienced senator but yet want to lead the country).

maybe it would help if you actually READ the article instead of the headline. CNN is the one who writes the headlines you know.

Many of you should start closing your mouths and open up your minds a little. You might actually learn something.

Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong.
Our National security is better, no more attacks here.
Our standing in the world improved, Libya, N Korea disarmed nukes.
Our Military performed outstandingly well.
Our Economy problems are NOT directly coupled to peacekeeping in Iraq.

I'd love to agree with Barrack, but his steady stream of Anti-American rhetoric is wearing awfully thin. The last bit about bolstering our economy by withdrawing troops a completely weird proposal. Just think what the price of oil would be if Iran invaded Iraq after our retreat? Well?

And while demonizing the current messenger of protest, the right forgets that this war of THEIRS is being led by a hypocritical putz, who didn't have the guts to go fight in a war that he was proselytizing for when he was warm and safe on daddy's college campus. Just as it was then, he and his neo-true-believers now think its just fine to send and sacrifice the sons and daughters of OTHERS to fight in a war that suits their political agenda.

As the messenger of protest in this story suggests: let's get on with the real fight on terror. Apparently the right has no stomach for the real fight.

It would not have been worse if Bush and Cheney had chosen to invade Brazil instead of Iraq. We would still have thousands of dead soldiers being shipped home, except from South America. The world would be no safer from terrorists. The budget would be just a big a disaster. Conservatives would be yelling "Support our boys in Brazil!" and "Our boys in Brazil have not died in vain!"

Oil prices would be a little lower today if we had invaded Brazil, actually, because Saddam Hussein would still be selling oil on the black market and that would exert a downward pressure on oil prices.

The only reason we are still in Iraq is because we invaded Iraq. In short, the purpose of the War in Iraq is to repair the damage done by our invasion of Iraq. Our soldiers there, like the soldiers who died in Viet Nam, have died for no reason.

FINALLY, a politician who actually has a clue about REALITY!!!!

we are NOT safer, we have INCREASED and STRENGTHENED our enemies, our economy is TANKING, our troops need to be HOME with their families, oil is a FINITE resource and needs to be left in the past where it belongs...and we can thank bush/cheney for every single one of these fiascos!!!

bush/cheney are a DISASTER. and january cannot get here soon enough, i want president obama leading MY country, not these greedy, elitist thugs!!!

Give me a break! Look at the facts and the context before regurgitating leftist propaganda.

BE AWARE PEOPLE WE NEED TO REGAIN OUR COUNTRY.

AMERICAN AGAINST FREE TRADE.

GO OBAMA.

How, after the Dems promised to pull out of Iraq (to win senate elections), can they keep whining that we can't get out of Iraq? They have the power, but want to blame someone else for it not getting done. If they can't do it as Senators, why would one do it as President. They are just pandering to emotion to get elected.

Vote for real freedom and change....Barr '08!!

The problem with that logic is that Reagan wasn't a military man, neither was Bill Clinton or George W. Bush. Maybe Bush should have gone on a few more fact finding missions and listened to some real intelligence (instead of fabricated intelligence.) before sending our children into Iraq.

Bottom line is who ever becomes the next President will have to make sound decisions with or without military experience. Reagan did it and so did Clinton. As for GW, well.....

Also, if Obama believes Afghanistan to be the real threat, why has he not convened a single meeting as chair of the subcommittee that can actually do something about NATO forces in Afghanistan?

Jan – I love the comment about how "Osama's terrorists were in Iraq until we chased them out." Are you THAT delusional??? Al Qaeda in Iraq did not exist until sometime around 2005. THEY WEREN'T THERE BEFORE WE SHOWED UP.

DWE5050 is absolutely correct. Though I cannot give specific numbers, suffice it to say that large numbers of soldiers who have either served in Iraq or are there now are Obama supporters. I still serve in the military and the number of those who have declared they are voting for Obama grows every day.

But what do I know? I guess since I support Obama I must not be a patriotic; never mind that I've worn the uniform of this Nation for the last 14 years...

So our answer is to vote in John McCain who has stayed less time at the job and voted on fewer bills than any other senator, Even a senator who has been out for almost ten months due medical illness?

You are an idiot who tries to look smart!

THANK YOU for your service!! We all owe you a debt of gratitude.

BARACK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!

BARACK / SEBELIUS 08

From his own words, Obama wants to go to war with Pakistan. What happened to all the anti-war people? Why are you not singing the blues about this? I know, you can't because you fallow Obama to the end of the earth and he can do no wrong.

If McCain said that you all would be out in force saying Mcwar doesn't care about the troops. Well now it is my turn to say Owarmonger doesn't care what happens to our troops, he is putting his presidency above the lives of the sons of America. I believe that is what you would be saying If McCain said he wanted to go into Pakistan. Isn't it , tell the truth.
