" garfield1946 - That's the point of voting against McCain, so we CAN "kiss the America we know goodbye." You know, the one controlled by the oil companies, that goes to war based on lies, that has "W" as its leader, that is despised by the rest of the world? Don't you see, we need a change! And to Michael Welch, thanks for the chuckles...funny stuff!! "

If Obama gets voted in you can kiss America as we know it goodbye........we'll all be taxed right out of our homes, Bush has us almost there now!! Good old Demo's!!!!! "

" Well, regardless of which party did this, all you have to do is turn on TV and see McSames b.s. tactics. I don't like either of them, but McSame is already showing his true colors, in that he's a cheap, punch 'em in the kidney type. Just another that is going to lie to the people for his own gain. Who cares if he's a vet or not, he's cheap and is not going to look out for the people.
I'm not voting this year. Obama has brought skin color into the race, which in the beginning, he was all based only on the issues, at that point I liked him.
I love america, but fear my govt. "

" Michael W, what is so laughable about saying Obama is a Socialist? Government run medicine, which he is for, is a socialist idea. "WIndfall profit" tax on private industry is socialist idea. Higher taxes on families making over $250,000 per year to attempt to redistribute wealth and/or eliminate social classes is a socialist idea. How about his record on gun control? What about his views and stances on any issue aren't socialist? "
Michael Welch wrote on Aug 7, 2008 2:17 PM:
" I'm hardly 'special'; I just obey the 'law of the blog.' I can see however that the atmospherics around the anti-Obama view are based on totally unfounded accusations that he is some sort of 'crypto-Muslim' who would aid 'al Qaeda' and that he is an 'elitist' -- any more than McCain who lives in VERY EXCLUSIVE environs in Sedona AZ with his multi-millionaire heiress wife? Or even more laughably -- that he is a 'socialist'! Those who smear or distort Obama in these ways (including the overtly racist ones) DESERVE some of their 'own' back; and as I long ago learned, that 'eye for an eye' IS the spirit of the blog and NO ONE is exempt from its 'law'...

Call it the KKK. Also, Obama isn't black. He's bi-racial. He has dark skin, but he's as much white as he is black. "

I don't agree with either side's dirty political tricks, but I am suspicious about the motives of this one. There has been an awful lot of counter-tactics from the Dems lately. "

It was probably a couple kids who had nothing better to do, the more you put this crap in the paper and keep leaving it up, they will keep doing it. Just take it off and don't draw media attention to it, and they'll likely move on.
Sounds to me like they need to get over themselves over there. "
