What really makes me laugh is when a Republican writes in and downs Obama when they have no clue what they are talking about, like the twins Harding, Kitson and Torpy.
Second Amendment. I have no clue where you got Obama wants to get rid of the Second Amendment? He talks about assault rifles - military weapons. Duh. Maybe if you should listen next time. We are the only country with the highest crime, Harold. Benjamin Franklin didn't meant military rifles.
Yea, let's blame Bush. It's his watch, Mrs. Torpy. He's been in office for eight years. Hello. He was in office for a good nine months before 911. It's simple math. It's not Clinton's fault. That's the thing about Republican party - they never take responsibilities. All Georgie Porgie had to do is sit back and ride the wave because Bill Clinton did everything for him. I mean surplus, peace, respect from world leaders, low-cost of food, low gas prices. And Bush screwed that up. Now the world thinks we're idiots because of Bush.
The housing situation. Bush is the fault, too. He passed the policies. The same guy who said we were winners is the same one who introduced it for him.
Obama's taxes are for people over $250,000. So quit the half truths. They always forget to mention that for some reason. But according to John McOil, anything less than $5 million is middle class. Whatever.
I think you got confused, Mrs. Torpy, about Obama voting against military funding for the legal war. It was John McSame, honey.
Obama won't wear the flag? Then what is he wearing on his jacket for quite a long time?
Turn tail from Iraq. Hello, the war is pretty much over. Why are we still there spending billions? Besides our soldiers are killing themselves over it. Obama has raised $60,000 from the soldiers and Johnny raised only $10,000. That's 6 to 1, sweetheart.
About Palin's speech. She did a good job reading someone else's speech. Nothing was said about the economy. She's a joke. She keeps saying the same speech for a week now. No one else has written her anything new. She's not allowed to talk to the press. She's John McBush's pet. What does that tell you?
People say Obama voted for oil tax breaks. But no one wants to say what else was in that bill. Like clean energy for one. Nuclear energy. They leak and cause cancer. They bury the waste from those plants in the mountains. Brilliant, Johnny. If it wasn't for Democrats, we wouldn't have Social Security, welfare, etc.
Oh, by the way, don't blame Obama for abortion. Blame the majority of women who want it. Palin thinks rape and incest are not good enough reasons to get an abortion. Only if your life is in danger.
McCain overplays his POW history. He acts like he was the only one who, sadly, was tortured during Vietnam. But that's all he has. He has nothing else to go by. A disgraced party for the last eight years does not deserve another four. That's why they're losing seats left and right. I appreciate what he did for America, but as well the others who were also there at Hanoi Hilton. Including the ones who didn't make it back. Along with the ones who were on the ground who actually fought the war face to face. They're all heroes, including Democrats, Mrs. Torpy. Not just someone born with a silver spoon. Being a hero does make you a worthy candidate. He could care less.
And by the way, give all the facts, not just half of it.
