In the last few days, employees of Lehman Brothers have wrung their hands as the value of their stock evaporated before their eyes. Now, many fear losing their jobs, too

The Justice Department will unveil changes to FBI ground rules today that would put much more power into the hands of line agents pursuing leads on national security, foreign intelligence and even ordinary criminal cases.

Obama hasn't yet sufficiently humiliated himself, debased his principals, or groveled to sacrifice his dignity to win the full affection of the american people

Any woman (or man) who switches their vote (from Obama to McCain) because of how McCain warped Obama's "lipstick on a pig" comment should be shipped to some other place. Perhaps the ocean?

Just saw an AP poll that gives McCain 48 to 44 lead over Obama. Can't we just split the country in half and give those 48% half of the country and take the rest? I can't believe how obviously stupid people are.

"You do the actuary tables, there's a one out of three chance, if not more, that McCain doesn't survive his first term, and it'll be President Palin. It's like a really bad Disney movie, "The Hockey Mom.' Oh, I'm just a hockey mom from Alaska, and she's president. "She's facing down Vladimir Putin and using the folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. It's absurd."

"It’s absurd, it’s totally absurd, and I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about how absurd it is. It’s a terrifying possibility. The fact that we’ve gotten this far and we’re that close to this being a reality is crazy.
I need to know if she really think that dinosaurs were here 4,000 years ago. I want to know that, I really do. Because she’s gonna have the nuclear codes.”

The one thing I am getting very tired of hearing about Palin is that somehow, because she's governor of Alaska and thus commander of the Alaska national guard, that this in any way possible, even 1/1,000,000th of a fraction possible, representative of an understanding or a command role that translates to national security experience, knowledge, or ability.
Will someone PLEASE explain my why the media, Charles Gibson, or anyone else doesn't laugh in her face and say "try again" when she utters any word that strikes a comparison between the two things? It really may be the most outlandish of anything in the entire Palin charade.

I'm saving all of these things that are basically common sense against McCain and Palin and putting them into a giant document I plan on sending out if and when I start to get the typical bullshit anti-Obama lie emails forwarded to me by my friends and family.
I've had enough. The next one I get I'm going to have to nicely respond with something like "Uncle Tom I love you but you're a fucking idiot... here is why."
I'm still working out the greeting...

morilla, what got me started on the doc was when I had maybe 6 people in a week talking about McCain's vs. Obamas tax plan and every single one of them were like "OBAMA'S PLAN WILL COST US MORE MONEY... DON'T VOTE FOR HIM". I had to lay it out for them in simple math like
O: 50k a year salary would save $1200
M: 50k a year salary would save $350Them: "Oh.... really?!?"

Yup, I get the same things. So sick of it, it's laughable.

somatica, everyone,
Here's an email I gave to my girlfriend to send to this guy her sister is friends with who said, "I won't vote for Obama, he's a Muslim."
--------
To all concerned,This election is far too important to make a decision against a particular candidate because you fall victim to Internet rumors, deception, and lies. If you are on the Internet reading this email, then all the information you could possibly want or need to form your opinion and make your choice is at your fingertips. Citizens owe it to themselves and this country to make an educated choice in the voting booth on November 4th. I am not telling you who to vote for, rather, I am suggesting that you take some time out of your day to find out the truth when you believe something that is not true.
Barack Obama is not a Muslim. The information is out there and there are links included below to provide more information for you.
http://www.barackobama.com/factc…
http://www.snopes.com/politics/o…
http://isbarackobamamuslim.com/#…Please, take the time to gather valid information that will help you make an informed choice. There is far too much at stake in this election in terms of comparing both candidates; if you're going to vote, do so based on what these candidates say they will do for our economy, our standing in the world, the environment, our dependence on foreign oil, the willingness to embrace renewable energy resources, and what they offer for the future of this country. I truly and completely believe that this is the most important election of our lifetime - it is an election whose outcome can send the country in two very different directions. Those directions are up to you: if you are satisfied with the way things are, then there is a candidate for you. If you are not satisfied with the way things are, there is also a candidate for you. No different than your right to vote, you have the right to choose either candidate. Make an informed choice, that's truly what it should come down to.
--------------------------------...Feel free to send that to people if you wish! :)

I don't see why middle class people would get upset that Obama wants to raise taxes on the super wealthy...

"The newest ad showcasing their hard line includes unflattering footage of McCain at a hearing in the early '80s, wearing giant glasses and an out-of-style suit, interspersed with shots of a disco ball, a clunky phone, an outdated computer and a Rubik's Cube."
"1982, John McCain goes to Washington," an announcer says over chirpy elevator music. "Things have changed in the last 26 years, but McCain hasn't.

Small businesses that pay as individuals (majority of small business') would be effected greatly and possibly be forced to lay off the same people who Obama is trying to save or close business.

M: 50k a year salary would save $350"Too simplistic. Married couples would be effected and small business' as well. Even the "Fat cat" you are wanting to tax would greatly increase the chances that the "fat cat" would be forced to layoff the same people you're trying to save.
Economics 101 but the Democrats never understand this notion.

never mind that, try laying off the offshore entities for awhile******** - taxes do not kill businesses anymore than bailouts deny free markets********

- i'm sorry, but taxes do kill businesses. we have one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world and people wonder why our jobs go overseas...johndiggity
- why all our jobs go overseas...johndiggity
- supposedly high taxes force companies to save money by going overseas? HAHAHAHA********
