I'm very cheery Kenneth, as a matter of fact, unlike you I find no strange need to post depressing news ad nauseam that I think somehow supports my transparent partisan agenda.

Being ignorant & naive is no way to get through life Kenneth.

you and obama are so vile, your life can only become more miserable. Good folks know scum and pity it.
Joe Cook is an Iraq war vet.
Dear Mr. Obama: Having spent 12 months in the Iraq theater I can promise you, this was not a mistake. I witnessed firsthand the many sacrifices made by the people of Iraq. Those sacrifices were not mistakes. Iraqi people are just like us. They want a chance to live in a secure world, free from tyranny, free from terrorism, free to prosper, free to raise their children and pass on a future. Are they better off today than they were in 2002? You bet. I've seen many men sacrifice their lives for the Iraqi people. They died for a purpose, not a mistake. They died giving hope. They died promoting freedom. Do you rescue a fireman just as he's about to save a child? When you call the Iraqi war a mistake, you disrespect the service and the sacrifice of everyone who has died promoting freedom. Freedom carries with it a price. Because you do not understand nor appreciate these principles, sir, I am supporting Senator John McCain for president. He, too, made a huge sacrifice promoting freedom, because he understands the fundamental truth, freedom is always worth the price.

That was Army Specialist Joe Cook, an Iraq war veteran, wounded by an IED in Iraq May 2007, lost his left foot and leg six inches below the knee. And you see him walking away after making his remarks here

Voters definitely tuning into the election, Ken. They don't like what they see on Obama's side. From another website:

>Chicago, Saul Alinsky and Obama

by thebear, 9/15/08

They make it sound like he was out there doing all this great, humanitarian work for the community...but it was Saul Alinsky style work. ACORN is not like a church group giving back to the community. In fact, they're dripping in fraud and scandal.In fact, "Community" was used to replace words like "people's" within Communist groups to make them sound more American.

They (like Obama) decry personal ambition, achievement, wealth, etc and hide behind everyone doing work for the mass...the whole...ie: COMMUN(E)ISM. You're never supposed to be aiming for personal achievement but only serving the mass.

In Alinsky's own words, you find discontent and rub it raw. In other words, find a buch of angry people and just pour salt on the wounds and irritate to motivate.

Alinskyk's son said his father would be proud of the campain Barack has run.<

Fundamentals Strong?

``People are frightened by these events,'' McCain told several thousand supporters in Jacksonville this morning. ``The fundamentals of our economy are strong, but these are very, very, difficult'' times, he said.

This putz was in the Senate for 30 years and knows diddlysquat about Economics let alone Wall Street!Fricking clueless.

Hundreds of billions in stock value gets wiped out today.

Perhaps some of the retirees on these threads may have to get a part time job at McDonalds.
