Our forefathers never guarenteed any of this.

You're going to hold Obama to account for NOT agreeing with the smears against him and call those lies?  You might want to entertain the possibility that...

His tax plan is on his site, read it.  Those are his intentions.  Congress will determine if that's what happens, of course.

No one gives a shit about the abortion issue.  It was settled decades ago.  If you REALLY want to stop the NEED for abortions, provide proper sex education in the schools and free and easy access to contraception.  No unwanted pregnancies = fewer abortions.

I don't hold Obama to account because of people he has known in his past any more than I hold McCain to account for actually BEING one of the Keating 5.  Both situations have been vetted and are IRRELEVANT to the current matters at hand.

I've met some pretty amazing people in my life.  I've even worked with some of them for years.  It does NOT mean I share their political ideals any more than I do even members of my family.

So, where are these LIES you speak of?  And more importantly, how do they even compare, for an instant, to how McCain has flipped his ENTIRE position on THESE SAME ISSUES you are speaking of?

McCain fought against Bush on the tax cuts for YEARS.  He only changed his mind for this campaign, because he had no choice if he was going to get the campaign money from the same people that supported Bush.

Etc. etc.

You're quite hypocritical in holding one candidate to a standard that is different that another.

And I NEVER said Frank, Pelosi, etc. didn't share blame for being lilly livered cowards in handling their end of this.  In fact, if you scroll back a few pages, you'll see I named them EXPLICITLY in my list of people to blame.

May I present to you...

The United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

And in regards to our founding fathers warning us of banking graft like we've just seen...

You might want to read these again, since THAT is what this nation is SUPPOSED to be founded upon.  Not FEAR and IGNORANCE.

Man, you crack me up!

I don't think we've lost our sense of humor...it's just always been a much different type of humor than conservatives.  Conservatives have (in general) have a screwball sense of humor, and liberals have a dry sense of humor.  It's the difference between Steven Wright and Larry the Cable Guy.

LOL.  They are all over.  Do something besides read 0bama's marketing site and you will find them. 

However, he also said the following:

"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor and bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.
Thomas Jefferson"

            Carter, damn, he just about decimated the military, and I know what I'am talking about as I was there.

A graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School, where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review.

You think that the President of the Harvard Law Review is a joke?!  Kudos to you.  But I think I'll trust the A student Obama over the C student Bush with my vote, thank you very much.

I would not disagree with that quote.  As I said before I am far more fiscally conservative than Bush has proven to be.

Are you going to give a man shit for NOT taking tax dollars from the taxpayers to pay for his campaign?!!!  He wound up getting more donations than he needed and so he's spending donations (mostly $100 or less!) on his campaign instead of the tax dollars we oh so need right now.

I APPLAUD him for that.  You should too, ESPECIALLY if you are a fiscal conservative.  Or did you want him to take taxpayer money on top of his donations, just because he could have?!

FEAR is a powerful motivator, for the populace as well as congressmen.  After all, read up on your history.  Caesars have always used the "barbarians are at the gates" to seize power, with the will of the mob and the senate - even if they themselves turned out to be secretly supporting the barbarians, ahem.

I'm glad I can help you laugh at yourself.  It's very healthy. 

Your logic is flawed, people hold opinions about Ben Franklin, George Washington, Abe Lincoln and so on, and by your logic they shouldn't because they hadn't been alive in that Era?

Maybe you need to accept the fact that not everyone believes Carter actually did anything as President other than wasting the air we all breath. It doesn't matter weither you've been alive durring his Presidency or not, everyone has access to what he did and what he said durring his time as the President. And from what IVE READ hes done, its a pretty short list.

If anyone would believe what Bush & Co. would say it's not the Dems in the government so that theory is way out in left field.

They "Dems" along with the Republicans believed the 'Intelligence' reports from several countries which indicated that Saddam had WMD's.

'Intelligence' is this case is more a misnomer.
