    And you know Colin is a racist, how???

    I don't recall him citing race as being a reason he is endorsing Obama, why do you doubt his statement?

    Heaven forbid a black man supports Obama for reasons other than race! That just can't be so! LeBuick you've been around here long enough to know that, haven't you? Here's a tip- Black people don't think for themselves, and race means more than anything. It's the "new conspiracy". :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :BangHead:

    If y'all really want to think that CP would support a white man with the same lack of experience in foreign policy and with the same liberal pedigree as BHO for president than that's fine with me.

    There's plenty of folks out there that vote on race and aren't ashamed to admit it, even though they are wrong to make that the one determining factor.

    The same people will praise the oneness Pentecostalist currently running for vice president, but they wopuld prolly deny a Jehovah's Witness. I don't understand!

    Cheers,

    The poster did not call Colin Powell a racist. He said that Colin Powell had sold out to his race. There is a huge difference between those two statements.

    When Colin Powell endorsed BHO he stated his reasons as being:
    Powell sees BHO as a "transformational figure" and a "new generation coming into the world--onto the world stage, onto the American stage."

    So what is it that is different, transformational, and new about BHO? Wait before answering that let's ask another question about the political candidates that Colin Powell has endorse in the past. How many weak inexperienced liberal white candidates has Powell endorsed in the past? Answer zero, none, not one.

    Now let's go back and answer that other question. What is it that is different, transformational, and new about BHO with respect to the other political candidates that Powell has endorsed in the past? Well, BHO is a weak, inexperienced liberal black candidate. Powell also pointed out that the election of BHO would be historic. What makes it historic? BHO, if elected, would be the first black man elected to be POTUS. So Powell can thorw up all the window dressing he wants, but his own words expose the real reason driving his endorsement. BHO a weak, inexperienced, liberal is a transformational, new, and history making candidate because, if elected, he will be the first black man to hold the office of POTUS.

    I see you have the Rush Limbaugh talking points down pat. :laugh:

    I hope you don't follow Rush Limbaugh down the path to being a drug addict.

    You keep throwing balls like this, and you're gonna lose the game with "unearned runs".

    You used to throw a strike occasionally, but seems like the last several months (well, since the third or fourth time you vowed you were gonna be nicer, and/or stay off the political forum) they've all been balls.

    Cheer up though, I'm sure Obama will allow you to kiss his hand once he's in power. ( Then it'll all be worth it, won't it?:laugh:)

    Sorry, but I am not into hand kissing(sounds rather Roman Catholic to me). A handshake will be sufficient. :)

    BTW, I haven't posted in the politics forum is a while and I'm not planning on going back. I read in it some but I'm not posting there(although a thread I started here got moved there the other day).

    Well for one he told Joe he would raise his taxes. Now how many candidates have you seen say they will raise your taxes? Can't you appreciate that difference? Honesty?

    Colin spoke very highly of McCain and detailed his reasons for going with Obama and not one of the reason's was race.

    Looks like we're starting to break you down. 13 more days and Obama will have your vote.

    Too bad you can't see Obama as being more than just black, but, you didn't say Muslim so we can consider this progress... :thumbs:

    So you're view is that public servants can charge the cost of taking their family on trips with them to the government?

    Did you forget about saying this already?

    You appear to want to give insult while pretending to be on the moral high ground.

    My wife sees this type of "debate" method every day.

    But then, she does work in an elementary school.:laugh:

    I do not know anyone who says her kids should not be taken along. The problem is expecting the state to pay for them. That is where the rub comes in, as well as the ethics.

    And I would argue that the biggest insult of all was your party nominating Obama and the GOP nominating McCain.

    BTW friend, put down the DNC talking points and head to the Cowboys' training camp - Wade is now calling Defensive plays. ALL HANDS ON DECK! :wavey:

    I don't call it honesty when he told Joe that and then turned around the next day in the last Presidential Debate and continued to maintain that he would "cut taxes" for 95% of America. There is no possible way that 5% of the American's who "would see a tax increase" under BHO's plan can pay for all the huge amounts of spending and welfare redistribution of the wealth that BHO is proposing. Wake up America... :BangHead:


    Guess you better re-read my post. I already pointed out the fact that with respect to candidates that Powell has previously endorsed the only thing new and different about BHO is that he is a weak, inexperienced, liberal, black candidate. I'm just using Powell's own words that he used to explain why he supports BHO.:tonofbricks:


    Not unless by some miracle BHO becomes a staunch social and fiscal conservative...:wavey:




    I have never claimed that he is/was a Muslim. I do maintain that based upon his Chicago Sun-Time interview he is not a born again believer in Jesus Christ and that he is in fact as lost as a ball in high weeds. His race means nothing to me. I don't care if he was purple. I am against him because he is an ultra-liberal socialist Democrat. I am against his ideology, his political philosophy, his weakness as a leader, and his inexperience for the job he is currently seeking.:tonofbricks:

    It was honesty, joe only makes $40K and Obama will cut his taxes just as he said he would.

    He never said the 5% would pay for all his plans. He said he would go line by line and cut government waste which I agree is a fairytale but is basically the same tale McCain is telling (I will cut pork barrel spending). Every piece of legislation has fat attached so he would have a historically stagnant administration if he vetoed every piece of pork fat that came across his desk. No legislation would pass...

    Wake up America... :BangHead:


    I apologize if I wrongfully accused you but the allegations have certainly been made on this board. I think your reasons for not voting for Obama are valid and show you have thought through your decision instead just saying things like, "he isn't a citizen" or "he's communist" or "he's a muslin". Those are ridiculous reasons for not voting for someone when you know their not true.

    It's pretty typical for a company to pay for children if children are allowed to attend and the parents are required to be there. It is part of a family friendly company. Again, in a state with the budget of Alaska, this cost is so minimal as to be absolutely of no consequence. It is more nitpicking from people who don't like Palin and don't like to actually think about real issues.

    If children are asked to attend yes, but not if you just take them along for the ride.

    The real issue, she is running as a reformer that will "shake up" Washington but she appears to be just like them using tax payers money for non taxpayers interest. The only difference with Palin is she has a smaller budget and on the other side of the country. Other than that she is politics as usual.

    A lady told me today, "I can't believe she shops at Sacks Fifth Ave and buys her baby stuff at Walmart. How selfish is she?"

    40% of the people that BHO is promising a tax cut already don't pay taxes. However, he is promising to give each and everyone one of them a $1,000.00 "tax refund." How do you get a refund when you have not paid anything in the first place? That is just another government welfare program. So now the remaining 55% of people will receive a tax cut according to the BHO plan. That means they will pay less taxes but the government spending is not being cut it is being increased. That leaves the 5% of the wealthy Americans to foot the biil for all of BHO's promised spending and wealth redistribution. 5% of American can not pay for the $1 Trillion in new spending proposed by BHO. The math just don't work. So where is the money going to come from? You guessed it from all of us. Wake up America!:BangHead:

    The issue over his citizenship and legality to hold the office of POTUS is certainly not a ridiculous concern. If he is not legally entitled to hold the office he is not legally entitled to hold the office.

    The issue of his political ideology, whether he is a socialist or holds to communist social ideals, is certainly not a ridiculous concern.

    In today's religous climate with Radical Islamic Extremist Terrorism on the rise the issue of his faith is not a ridiculous concern either. However, it does not appear that he is or ever was a professing Muslim. He is just a lost universalist...

    Now, Now, Bible Boy. There you go reading independent analyses of the candidates tax proposals. Don't you know you're supposed to read from the party talking points and swallow them hook, line, and sinker? How dare you think for yourself! That's not allowed!!! :laugh:
