"Rock Obama lives on our front porch, and that's where he would be happiest."

I find that to be a racist statement.

I dis-agree with Class_matters.

Do not NOT vote, it is a right and honor to do so. 

This is still a free country and I have every right to complain about someone or something that I dis-agree with (dems).

We have way to many people in this country that do not take this process seriously and have any passion for it.  I will never let another person silence me on my view points, we will agree to dis-agree and go back to our corners and fight hard for position, this does not mean I have lost my civility, or respect for something.  Yes true enough I do not respect a person that knowingly sits on a board with a known domestic terrorist.  Have some ethics, morals and respect for yourself and your country, remove yourself and wake up in the morning knowing that you did the right thing.  I would like for B.O someday to meet a survivor of one of the people that Bill killed and then B.O can explain to them why he thinks Bill is A.O.K guy. 

Ask yourself, would you allow yourself or your child to hang with a known child molester? NO I would not.  So why is B.O being given a pass for being on a board with Bill a known domestic terrorist? 

VOTE

I can only tell from what is in the lounge due to that is the place people go with their political views.

You are not serious about asking this Question are you?

99% of the people on here are lib/dems.

so I will tell you up front the %...................

Obama...........99%

MCcain 1% (me and about 5 others) 

MCcain will come from behind.

she should ask her election board, but I think they might call it a spoiled ballot

i believe they use optical scan ballots in florida  (yep!) - not sure if absentee ballots are the same

i hope she asked someone local

oh and never wear a candidates button or tshirt into the polling place

legally you CAN, but you're marking yourself to the opposing side if they want to challenge your voting status, so just put on your campaign paraphernalia AFTER you vote (along with your little I voted sticker)

 Legally you CAN NOT wear anything that promotes a candidate within 100 feet of a polling booth, this is called campaining.

Please get your info correct.........................

CAMPAIGN FREE ZONE

If the polling room is located within a private business, school or church building and the distance of 100 horizontal feet ends within the interior of the building, then the markers shall be placed outside of the building at each entrance used by voters to enter that building. A

If the polling room is located within a building with 2 or more floors and the polling room is located on the ground floor, then the markers shall be placed 100 horizontal feet from each entrance to the polling room.

The area within the markers shall be known as a campaign free zone, and within these boundaries, electioneering is prohibited.

Congress: Free healthcare
Prisoners: Free healthcare
Government employees: Free healthcare
Elderly: Free healthcare

How are they more deserving than a single mom out there waiting tables trying to take care of her family?

 

 No one is saying more deserving,

Elderly HAVE paid in.

Government taking care of themselves first.

Prisoners, well do the crime do the time and get free healthcare.  Exchange freedom for healthcare.  WOW sounds like B.O's plan to a T.

So in other words, Tax the people that have worked very hard, or in many cases smarter to make up for the lazy people, the illegials and anyone one that just plainly wants a handout.

i get it, dump on the american dream, send more jobs down the drain and over seas.

taxing the healthcare benefits is not a big deal.  It opens the "free market" on Healthcare.  under the other plan, we will see a system such as france and canada. 

Talk with any doctor or nurse worth their salt and they will tell you that the Dems plan is a road to disaster for healthcare.

I don't think Obama is pro grading on a curve. Is that somewhere on his website?

 

 take a look at the tax plan, if that is not grading on a curve.....than what is?

Interestingly, on the same line, its always the little guys who run into an online community of women, mostly leaning liberal, and scream stupid insults.  Ya gotta wonder if the guy is 50 and lives with his mom.  I wonder if she makes him Hot-Pockets while he plays video games. 

 Why the name calling?  I am not a troll, I post and USE this site to live better (check your facts first before spitting insults).

This thread said:  "just say a random comment"  That is what I did.  Libs don't like to be called out.

You'd think Crabby McCrankypants would have put the brakes on such extravagance. :)

 Yeah - isn't spending $150K on clothes, in less then a few weeks in places like Saks and Nieman Marcus, something that elitists do?

 What?!?!  Please B.O has spent MILLIONS on his ads, and NO one is complaining about that.  Oh that is OK these funds coming from OTHER heads of nations (donations are not allowed by creeps outside of the USA), but we get around that by having the money filtered through companies that they invest in.  OH then it is OK, please forgive me for talking bad about "the one".  Yes the one that WILL put this country in a worse condition than it is right now.  he first agreed (signed a contract!!!) to NOT take public funding, then WENT BACK ON HIS WORD!  Opps, sorry I bashing "The One" again. 

Don't tell me it is ALL "Bushs" fault either.  Who owns the House and Sen?  DEMS!  So the Pres has no real power.  What is the approval rating of either House or Sen right now?  VERY LOW.  Who controls them.....DEMS.

Are you people serious about putting someone that has no experience in anything other than setting up basketball courts in charge of our country.  You are all goo goo ga ga over the fact that he is saying he will give you EVERYTHING and that he is the first black to really make it in the run for the white house. 

Honestly, his plan simply says give to the (lazy asses) if you have went out and WORKED hard, LIVE the AMERICAN DREAM.

So, here it is..................

Your son is in school, he gets A's, your friends kid only gets C's, under B.O's way of thinking, the kid that gets A's is to reduce himself to a B so the poor slob that can only get a C gets a B also, then we all can be the same.  Spread the Wealth. 

OR,

your neighbor can not make his house payment, but you have plans for a trip, you are not allowed to go on that trip, you MUST (if you beleive in his way of thinking) give that money to your neighbor so he can make him payment.  Even though YOU worked for that money.  SPREAD the Wealth.

If you vote for him this is your way of thinking also, you can not say no and you MUST give up more of your money.

PEOPLE.........

He changed his tax plan now so that it includes people who are documented workers.  HELLO, the plan before did not say if you had to be working or not!!  Lets see, I don't work, and B.O says i will get some of my friends money who works 80 hrs a week to live the AMERICAN DREAM!?  WOW sign me up! 

I vomit to even think that this person (can not call him a man) might make the white house, just makes me sick.

Liberalism is a DISEASE!

B.O Stinks!

I agree with GI-Jane, it is a choice that I made based on what I hearmy body telling me.  I am sure some people can eat complex carbs in buckets full and not have an issue.  I do not seem to have issues with the simple carbs, such as fruits and veggies, it is just the complex ones.

I was a heavy, and I mean heavy complex carb eater.  I could eat an entire loaf a bread a day, and then go out to eat and down even more bread and complex carbs such as pasta with ease.  I never thought I could get away from them due to "thinking" I was addicted to them.  Every meal, every snack, everything had to have white bread or white rice or pasta.  The complex carbs I do get are only from whole wheat.

However, I have so much more energy during the day, I get up without pain in my ankles, I do not feel stuffed after i eat and want to take a nap and on and on without the carbs.  I know that sounds strange because carbs are to give you energy, bu it works the opposite way on me.  I get tired, I get sluggish and want to sleep. 

Again, "I" think it is a matter of listening to what your body is saying.  We all "think" we know what our bodies need, but we have a system inside us that reacts to what we put into it, and how we work our bodies. 

We are all good talkers, but very bad listeners and I found if I shut up, and listen my body rewards me with better health and weight loss in the long haul.  It is education, knowing your body, knowing your foods and what is in them and trial and error on short trips (4-7 days) with different foods.

Dave

I can not say enough about watching and logging your intake.  Eating less cals is all good, BUT every person is diff, and your body will direct you, you need to LISTEN to it. 

My foods consist of all high protein, very low carbs and the fat content does not seem to be an issue at this point.

Beef jerkey, protein bars, eggs, shakes, fish shrimp, peanut butter, tuna, lots of veggies (only low in carb though, same for fruit), fruit, milk, cottage cheese, cheese, turkey bacon, turkey, chicken, salsa, I throw in a subway 6inch from time to time and on and on.

I say it one more time, watch the levels and adjust them, if you are not doing well on staying "balanced" by CC pie chart change it up, stay within in the safe limits of cal in take!  I found this really helps me drop the pounds and not get stuck and get frustrated.

Do not get discouraged, it is a journey, let your body tell you what it wants, eat every 2-3 hours, do not wait time you "are hungry", that is way to late and then you will over eat.

Ok I will bite.........I can not stand to read anymore about the Oh so great savior, he will give all of us in the 95% tax bracket a break, give me a break!!!  That is nothing BUT a pile of you know what.  Sure I will get a tax break, but then he will tax this, and that and even MORE!!!  Oh boy, I even get FREE health care, and and I get $1,000, WOW!  Oh and even more, no please stop oh mister wonderful, you have given me Oh so so too much.  BOHICA!  The Mrs Obama even said they were going to work on giving me more "family" leave time so I can go and see a school play!  UMMMM?  Who is going to pay my wife for that?  Oh that's right, her employer, who by the way just went out of business because he was TAXED for making too much money and working towards HIS American dream.  That is the Obama plan, YEA another 4 years of the Jimmy Carter era!  Does not know his ass from a hole in the ground. 

Obama is all PIE in the sky, lets tell them what they want, and then we will not given them any of it, just the increase in taxes part.  Same o same o garbage the people here in Wisconsin were feed with our Governor a big fat D.

McCain is not all that much better, BUT he is about reform, NOT promising things............................

OK, I am wasting my breath on this crowd. 

 Do you want this election to be about issues?  YES, and I want logical answers  

If so, what issues do you want to talk about, or do you want the candidates to talk about? Immigration, tax reform, oil and gas drilling, straight talk and answers about the economy, less government.

How much does the candidate's personalities influence your choice? 50% 

Will your decision be influenced by any of the debates or is your mind made up?  Mind made up, Duh.

If you identify with either political party, do you catch yourself forgiving a weakness in your candidate while criticizing the same weakness in the other?  No I do not, each candidate should be judged the same on an equal playing field, ISSUES!  Example.......Palin has children, BUT is not judged the same as the "other" VP candidate.  Why?  Because she is a WOMEN.  So what, many men are stay at home dads (me) and I am proud to take that role and allow my wife to be the bread winner. 

I don't care what color, race, religion or gender they are, as long as a person I vote in 1. does what they say (not one yet, other than Reagan), 2. stands up and says "I was wrong" now lets talk and get it fixed.  3. Do not pee on my back and tell me it is raining.  4. Protects this country on every front.  5. Bring down my energy costs.  5. have less red tape to get things done (less governing and more doing)  6. Stop making food fattening!

I am hard core republican, HOWEVER if Obama actually had some solid well thought out ideas and it fit me over the other, I would vote that way.

Please, seriously, please wake up, take a hard look (deep) into his ideas, is this really going to help?  I have to say, no, please don'tdo not buy into the fact that he is black and make the first black president a failure.  Give me Condoleezza Rice, give me Colin Powell, I would have voted for either of them in a heart beat.

So now the Dave bashing can start.........Lets not actually talk issues, just bash Dave (as in the last time I posted) because he is not for holding hands and smoking the peace pipe. 

Peace Out

GO John and Sarah!!!!!!!
