USAFdude. I read the article you linked. I read it days ago actually. Where were the threats? Where were the dangers? What, you mean when people were quoted as saying we should do to Obama, everything that the Dems have done to Bush? Or the part where they called him a terrorist? Again, I fail to see the threats to him or his family. Try contrasting that with posts in other forums. Try checking out Moveon, or Huffington. Or like I mentioned before, right here. Theres no comparison. People aren't threatening either Obama or his families lives. They're not hoping someone murders him, while these oh so wonderful, caring people wanted the worst for Bush and Cheney. Talk about Hypocrisy!

I don't know who Broun is, so I really wouldn't feel confident about that Ticket. Not only that, but I sincerely hope there is someone better then Palin out there. Not that I don't think Palin would make a decent President. Ideologically, shes much more conservative the Bush or McCain are. And far more so then Obama. Judging by that alone, it makes her the ideal candidate. Having said that though, not sure how I would view her as CinC. We'll see.

USAFdude -
I must have missed it, where in that article did anyone advocate harming either Obama or his family?
And do you really need me to go searching for articles advocating everything against Bush? You would have to have been blind and out of touch with reality to have missed it. Heck, just a moment ago on JT, I was reading another poster that fantasized about Bush being hauled into court for war crimes, in hand cuffs, hanging his head. You get the idea.
And Hey, if you don't want to wake up to reality, thats your choice. Feel free to continue believing what you want, rather then whats real.

No, you're right. Clinton was a much bigger joke. Reagen was in the service during WW2, making films though. Don't remember about Nixon, but others like Bush 1 did serve in combat.
Still being President means more then just whether or not you served in the Military. As the CinC, not only do your people have a duty to you, you have a duty to them. I don't think Clinton ever really understood that. I sincerely hope Obama does.

I suspect the "change" he has planned is to raise taxes by letting the Bush Tax cuts expire.
He'll probably try negotiating with Iran
Probably deal with Pakistan, promising not to invade their airspace, allowing them to harbor terrorists across the border from Afghanistan, thereby getting a lot of people killed.
As you said, socialized medicine, putting a lot of people out of work. Particularly drug companies.
He'll probably invest in infrastructure, proving once again, that government investment doesn't drive the economy nearly as well as less government regulation does.
Try to get the US locked into the global warming hysteria, further destroying our economy.
Yes, lots of change for America. Hey, where do you think all the Canadians that come to the US for decent health care will go once Obama manages to get socialized medicine here in the US?

Palin wouldn't be a bad person to have run. Certainly she would be better then many of the other candidates. 2012 is a long ways off. At this point, way too early to be talking about potential Presidential candidates.
The one thing the Republicans need, is someone who represents conservative values. Not just socially, the whole guns, god thing, but fiscally as well. Lower taxes, a smaller better government. One that isn't a nanny.

So, what provisions of it were wrong? What didn't you like about it? Do you even have a clue what it does, and did? What changes it brought about? I've seen so many people denouncing it, and most of them don't have the first clue what the patriot act actually does.

Ok, you need to seriously wake up. What has been going on for the last 8 years, huh? People have been threatening Bush constantly, suggesting he should be hung, poisoned, tortured, and everything else they could think of under the sun. Obama on the other hand, has only had 1 threat, and it was from a couple nutcases who planned to murder a bunch of people, not just him.
While we have a war of words here, and elsewhere on the net, thats all it is, a war of words. A conflict of ideologies and ideas. Unlike those nuts, no one advocates harming Obama. People like myself don't like him, but for me, and I suspect most people, its nothing personal. Its again, a matter of ideas. Of what we all think is best for America.

I won't get into the media bias wars any further. Neither of us is going to be convinced. So we'll have to agree to disagree, although of course I'm right. :)
The media really are to blame for this. Don't get me wrong, the smears came from McCains team, which is just sickening. But whats pathetic, is that these people didn't bother to check the sources. And certainly didn't bother to get confirmation. Instead, they just ran with it. That it came out on FoxNews, which is usually a lot more balanced is even more surprising. Its like Rathergate all over again.

Don't need to, unlike you, they all voted for McCain, even if most of them held their noses to do so.

Well, not sure I agree. From my perspective it doesn't seem any worse now then it has for years. In fact if anything, it seems a bit lighter at the moment. Previously we would got lots of people just ranting about Bush endlessly regardless of truth. We still get a lot of that. Before that Clinton was the big target. Deservedly so after Lewinsky, and being impeached. I think right now things toward Obama are actually rather tame since he has yet to do anything. Once he's innaugurated, then look for the real partisan infighting to begin. Forget all that tripe about bi-partisanship. No one but the suckers believe it.

Actually Taka, you're wrong. This is an issue of bias, but even more so, an issue of fairness. While people on the left may state that the media leans right or is impartial, there is an immense amount of raw data that contradicts it. The fact that they scrutinize and publish derogatory stories of Republicans more then they do of Democrats, and repeat dirt, even if untrue adnauseum is established fact. When reporters come out and admit now that the election is over that they don't know Obama, this shows just how biased the coverage really was.
Of course you're also right. Life isn't fair. The people in the media have their own beliefs and opinions, and they cover what they want to cover, and everyone just has to deal with it. Taking that right away from them wouldn't be right either, so conservatives just have to learn to live with the automatic bias. And try to overcome it. Of course it doesn't stop us bitching about it. Just as the media has the right to report things the way they want, we have the right to bitch about it too.

You're being on guard to prevent the right from hurting Americans makes me feel so safe. Or maybe it would if it didn't mean you were ignoring the real threats out there that caused 9/11. Oh, wait, don't tell me you're one of those that think Bush was to blame for it, or one of those conspiracy nuts who think it was all a plot by Bush. Nevermind. I definitely don't feel safe now.

Are you serious? We've had nothing but fearmongering and lies about Bush for years. I don't like him either, as a conservative, hes the guy who trashed my party. But trying to say this polarized atmosphere just started with Barracks election is naive at best. Its been ongoing for years!

Yes, Bush took away my freedom to get blown up by terrorists. Obama wants to give it back. I'd rather lose that particular freedom, thank you very much.
And that congressman will probably have just as much success keeping his seat, as Nancy Pelosi does. Him being in a conservative district, her being in a luny district.

I wouldn't mind canning him. Of course we'd have to ditch all the other lunies in congress as well just to be fair. That would mean that Nancy Pelosi would be out of a job, "Dirty" Harry Reid would be gone, Murtha would be toast, and a huge number of other Dems as well. Sounds like a plan to me. I'll even toss in Trent Lott as a bonus. Aren't I generous.
Oh wait, this would mean that Republicans would have control of both houses of Congress, as the Dems have most of the nuts. Still want to can all the lunatics?
