Hey Ange,
Now that you mention the name, I think I have heard something about that.

I think once the dem candidate is determined - things may shift even on the part of the media. We all know they aren’t able to stay nice for too long - even toward the ones they supposedly love.

I don’t know if this is the most important election of our lifetimes - perhaps the outcome will determine that - but yeah, I’m concerned.

Hugs,
Annie

Note that he is ranked as the most liberal Senator currently serving by several groups that do that sort of thing. Ted Kennedy is pleased enough with him to sing in Spanish at an Obama rally. Plus, as he mentions in his first book, or so I have been told, his great mentor during his early years is an open advocate for communism. Sorry, I forget the man's name, but if that's important I'll hunt it up for you. Next, just look at the policies he's advocating. He wants the Government to pay for health care for those who won't carry their own weight. He wants the Government to make mortgage payments for those stupid and greedy enough to buy homes they can't afford. He has even gone to the extreme of suggesting that the Government make up the income difference when a person looses a job and takes a new one that doesn't pay as well! That sounds indisputably like the communist mantra, from each according to their ability to each according to their needs. Beyond that, he wants to open talks with Cuba with no preconditions, and wants to kill NAFTA but, as far as I know, hasn't suggested cutting off trade with China. He's also against private ownership of firearms and is anti-religion, both opinions popular with communists. the Grit <strong>Hey Grit, Oh my gosh, I heard that singing of Teddy Kennedy's and it was painful. :shock: I hadn't heard about the making up the difference in the job deficit routine.

Evidence of Barack’s communist leanings is abundant. Note that he is ranked as the most liberal Senator currently serving by several groups that do that sort of thing. Ted Kennedy is pleased enough with him to sing in Spanish at an Obama rally.

Hey Grit,
Oh my gosh, I heard that singing of Teddy Kennedy’s and it was painful. :shock:

I hadn’t heard about the making up the difference in the job deficit routine. Wow, what an angle. Gee, I wonder who might be paying for that?

Well, it seems this is getting crazier and crazier. I don’t even know what to say…

I just like him better. Their differences on health care plans are notable, assuming you support universal health care at all (and I don't). The Che Guevarra flag picture... I'd worry about it if Obama were standing in front of it. Otherwise, I'd venture to say he can't be held personally responsible for every move made by every one of his campaign workers. The flag pin in the lapel... he doesn't wear one, but has in the past. That doesn't sound to me like a refusal to wear one. Do you wear one, WC? Why, or why not? I wore one right after 9/11; it just made me feel better, more a part of the whole, showing support for my fellow Americans. But I don't anymore. Have I become less patriotic since then? I don't think so. So who will I vote for? I don't know yet. Depends on who the nominees are. I'll have to compromise something to vote for any of them. Meantime, I'm getting a kick out of the most interesting campaign since the '60s. <strong>Hey 30! I am not interested in universal healthcare at all - I mean, cripes with the quality of healthcare we get from the private sector now, I can't imagine how crappy government sponsored healthcare could be. But I think anyone who has been to the DMV or any other government agency can get an idea of what fun we'd have in store for us in that department. No, he wasn't standing in front of it - but when asked about it, the response was lukewarm at best - and yeah, I do wear a flag pin but that's not the point. The point is the guy is running for the job of leading this country - I kind of expect him to be more patriotic than I am. Maybe that's expecting too much but I don't think so. As to whether or not you've become less patriotic, I wouldn't have a clue and again, you and I are not running for the highest office in the land. Hmmm...most interesting campaign since the 60s? Is there a particular campaign you are referring to - just curious. And while it has been full of surprises, personally I'm not sure I'm finding it interesting - I'm finding it more painful than anything else. I am honestly concerned about the future of our country (all jokes and jest aside) and this campaign cycle has done nothing but increase my level of concern.

The Che Guevarra flag picture… I’d worry about it if Obama were standing in front of it. Otherwise, I’d venture to say he can’t be held personally responsible for every move made by every one of his campaign workers.
