it going to be a great thing to be an Obama Nation.

Go Obama, make us proud again.

How can a man run a positive campaign and not be very very tough?

Hopefully we'll be waiting a loooong time for that one.

As long as Obama stays out of the dirty games business, he'll get a :thumbsup: from me.

There is nothing to be pleased with, regarding our socialist future. Obama might garner the support necessary to grow Washington DC, but that shall result in greater evils being committed from the throne they build.

Yup. Government is bad. We should just return to Locke's State of Nature. Everything would be perfect then.

Well, I hope you haven't jinxed the campaign, (A little too soon to tell?)
But yes I agree! I was sceptical but I am starting to believe again.
I want so much for this country to stop hating and doing something positive for a CHANGE!

Good for you, man. May your dreams become real up to the highest.

I thought this forum was about politics and news... not gushing about who your favorite candidate is. I really hope we don't see the forum littered with these types of posts now. A mod should really lock this, there's nothing relevant here for a discussion.

Will you support Hillary if she gets the Dem nomination?

Burning flags is a big issue with Hillary (it takes EXPERIENCE to get to that level), why would America haters want that banned? ;)

Do you think there's any significance to the character in Lost being named John Locke?

I've never seen an episode of the show.

Expanding the size of the federal government and increased spending is nothing that should be celebrated. Ignoring our fiscal problems is not smart, and making them worse is loony.

Those young voters who support Obama should take a look at the deficit and entitlements we have left them. They have a hell of a bill awaiting them.

I agree, but look at what our choices will ultimately be. Paul will not win the nomination. As he's the only candidate who would actually shrink the federal government, it doesn't really matter who else wins, fiscally speaking. At least with Obama we have (at least for now) the option to elect a sincere president who only wants what's best for the country. Since Paul won't be president, I'll take sincere and well-intentioned over the snake oil that the rest of those scumbags are selling, be they D or R.

Oh, I agree. I'd vote for Obama if Paul isn't on the ballot. But I still fear the fiscal problems we face will be ignored.

If a mod did lock this you wouldn`t be a happy camper.

Then you would have no place to vent....

This is an excellent post and more truthful you would ever care to admit!!

Obviously you've never read the constitution, or you'd realize there's something between our modern abomination and anarchy.

Yeah, I know, look at the last seven years. The Republicans did a great job proving how bad they are at running the government. As well as growing the government's power over our lives. Thanks for all that.

And that bill was tabulated by... wait for it... it's coming to me... umm... REPUBLICANS!!!!

If you're gonna whine about government spending, maybe you should start by pointing the finger at Reagan, Bush 41, and Bush 43. 20 years out of the last 28 of yawning deficits. The only Democrat in the WH in that entire time... wait for it, it's on the tip of my tongue... CLINTON! submitted budget SURPLUSES.

Yeah, you Republicans are GREAT at spending everyone else's money and then blaming your opposition for it. Too bad the record says otherwise. But then when did the facts ever get in the way of Republican doublespeak?

I wouldn't blame ALL republicans, but I would blame the small extremist group called the Neoconservatives.

I wish I could agree with you. But anyone who's voted Republican over the last couple of decades bears a measure of blame. Most are either: a) active perpetrators, or: b) enablers.

After the last seven years, I'm in no mood to be conciliatory. Republicans proved with Bush 43 that they were very capable of electing the stupidest, most incompetent, most inimical President possible.

Is that not politics?

We're discussing Obama as a presidential candidate (ie politics). If you don't like it, go create a post that you do like and get out of this one.
