OK, Mr. Socialist, let’s start with the “issues.” Obama, like every other socialist, I mean democrat, candidate is promising health care; nothing original there. Again, where is that written in the Constitution, “Government sponsored health care?” Like all government entitlement programs, a good deal of the taxes that will be taken out of EVERYBODY’S pocket to pay for this will go to bureaucracies to administer these programs. Who will set the fees for doctors to be paid for their services? What if those fees are not agreeable to the doctors, nurses, radiologists, etc.? Do you feel that health care practitioners should be obligated to perform their work at any fee set by anybody other than themselves and their employers? Are you prepared for health care practitioners to form unions and go on strike when their demands aren’t met? Are you prepared to have the government tell you what drug brands you can get prescribed from their list of approved suppliers (no room for graft and corruption there?) I am an American living in a socialist country, and I can tell you that is exactly what will happen because it happens here all the time. For what it’s worth, I paid less out of pocket for a doctor’s visit and prescriptions back in the US with my company’s private health care plan than I do here. Get it through your thick socialist skull that NOTHING IS FREE!

What else has Obama done in his mere 4 years as a US senator? List them. What bills has he himself authored and pushed through the senate and then had them passed. List please.

About “letting Osama escape.” I love this one because all you leftists (who think you are now centrists) parrot the same thing (and you call conservatives sheeple and robots). Listen, he escaped into this vast region called the Tora Bora, much bigger than your local shopping mall or Starbucks where you get your soy latte each day. Our men, along with their local guides, were tracking him, right on his heels, and he went into Pakistan where Musharof, in fear of rebellion from his own muslim jihadis, refused our guys entrance into his country but promised to take up the search with his troops. Why don’t you write him a letter and ask him whey he’s so incompetent? Oh, and this is the same Pakistan that Obama said might need to be bombed, too, or did you conveniently forget that little bit? How about this: Why don’t YOU, Mr. high-and-mighty-I-read-a-book-so-I-know-everything, get off your ass, take a flight to Pakistan, and find Bin Laden yourself if it means so much to you? You won’t, because those Hun bastards would eat you for breakfast and play putt-putt golf with your testicles afterward.

Now, before you think I am some big McCain supporter, Bush fanatic, or a Republican for that matter – I’m not. I belong to no political party. If I had to categorize myself by political philosophy I would have to say I’m more libertarian than anything else, meaning, “Shut up and leave me alone to live my life as I see fit, and I’ll show you the same courtesy. I owe you nor anybody else anything unless I deem it worthy of my time, energy, or money, and I don’t expect anything from you.”

And while we’re on the subject of money, I can assure you that I am not rich by any stretch of the word. My wife and I live in New Zealand, one of the highest taxed countries in the OECD, and we support two teenage kids on a combined gross income of less than $100,000 per year (that’s NZ dollars, which are worth about 74 US cents right now, and buy far less than US dollars do). Gasoline here is $2.18 per liter and milk is over $4 for a two liter bottle (at 3.78 liters per US gallon, do the math). We pay $2100 per month for a four bedroom house, and with it being winter our electric bill is over $200 per month. We pay over $250 per week on groceries, and that is just for staple items – no cookies, chips or other junk food. There is a 12.5% government tax (on top of many other government taxes) on EVERYTHING including bulk, unprocessed food like meat and vegetables.

I tell you this not to whine and moan – I chose to live here of my own free will – but rather to tell you that the ideas Obama and his minions have for the US are exactly like those already in place here. Trust me, I don’t think you would be very happy if the US turned into a socialist workers’ paradise once it happens. Regardless of how appealing a romanticized Utopia sounds, it doesn’t work, and it doesn’t exist. If you think that this guy is the messiah and will solve all your problems, you are a fool, and you would probably buy some beautiful beachfront property in Nevada, too. Wake up! ALL politicians will tell you what they think you want to hear, and you are no better or smarter than people who think Bush or McCain walk on water. The system is simply that of a politics of personality where people vote based on who they think is going to give them the most in free gifts from the public treasure.

We all want “Change”, but you better be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. Not all change is for the better.

Let’s just THINK BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA…..What’s in a name–nothing really but the USA is in a major conflict with the damn moooosies and there is something distasteful to have a president with that name!

Trivial you say? Hell no—90% of the world’s people are intellectual idiots–all they’ll see is a mooosie name.

His experience? The last time we elected a man with little
political experience we got George Jr……DUH!

Hussein’s personal/family history is “suspect” in some of his religious ties(Wright?), his mooosie ties, his ‘racism’.

His biggest ASSET is his Hitler like speaking skills (not theology, yet…..)–he mesmerizes the 90% and he has them bowing at his feet by the end of the speech.

Truth: When Bush is on TV I mute the sound; I watch/listen to McCain’s ads and they are pleasant. His POW ad has been examined point by point and found to be 100% accurate; Obama comes on and I change the f–king station!

I would be concerned about some damn closet racist coming out of the closet and assassinating him! (I’m serious)–talk aboput a shot being heard around the world and the ghettos!

Didn’t mean to rant—-my choice for president? NONE OF THE ABOVE.

You blame Bush for high gas prices. How does Bush control the world’s oil market? Ninety five percent of the world’s oil is nationalized and therefore controlled by governments. Bush has been pushing for offshore and ANWR drilling for years. Democrats have opposed this exploration and drilling and now we’re paying the price for their opposition. It’s interesting how gas prices really shot up when Democrats took control of Congress and Nancy promised to tax the oil companies to lower prices.

You say Obama was making crappy pay? Just what was he getting paid? I bet he was still living a very comfortable lifestyle. His wife alone was making over 100K per year before he became a senator. Interesting though how his wife got a 100% pay increase upon him getting elected to the Senate.
