Now that a Democrat has Won the White House Again....

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 8 Nov 08

Will it be ok for the far left to be proud to be Americans again? I swear, it seems like the only time they are happy is when their candidates win. They remind me of little kids who can only be happy when they get their own...

4magoo I am a democrat. I am a disabled Vietnam Vet. I am currently employed by the Department of Defense and work for them in England. I didn't whine when we illegally attacked Iraq nor when we chose not to pay for these wars with taxes but instead went into debt to...

Obama May Lose

platinum601 @platinum601 (276) • United States 20 Oct 08

It's still anybody's game at this point even though Barrack Obama is leading by 10 points, those who are likely to vote for him are not registered at all. When the election date comes it all matters on who has the most registered...

4magoo Very true. It will be the votes that are cast and counted that will tell the story. Polls don't elect candidate. They are only a barometer as to which ways the wind is blowing.

Lobbyist give gifts to elected officials.

lilwonders @lilwonders456 (8214) • United States 20 Oct 08

We all know lobbyist and special interest groups give "gifts" to our elected officials. But should this be legal? Now the law just states that all "gifts" have to disclosed so everyone knows about them. They are also not suppost...

4magoo As far as I am concerned we would be a lot better off without them. I also don't understand how these people can get away with all the gifts they take. I remember one recent one where Palin accepted a $1200 gold nugget from the mining industry before helping...

"We are the ones we have been waiting for"

littlefranciscan @littlefranciscan (18327) • United States 19 Oct 08

Senator Obama is trying to take the power out of the hands of the few and put it back into the hands of those where it should be ..into the hands of the voters. He is against bigwigs being getting all the tax breaks while the...

4magoo Right on ... As Powell said he is the right man for the job. He could end up being the best president we have had in a long long time.

READ this! Freddie and Fannie fiasco

thedogshrink @thedogshrink (1266) • United States 19 Oct 08

This is what is wrong with "spreading the wealth". The Democrats, including Obama, will opt for spreading the wealth over the majority of Americans' needs, anytime. They voted against the bill that would have PREVENTED the Fannie...

4magoo We really aren't as bad as you might guess from reading some of our discussions. We sometimes get a bit passionate about our politics but I consider that a good thing as long as people "play nice." I have lived in Panama, Japan, Bahrain and now England but I...

Why Would Obama Cut Your Taxes?

gewcew23 @gewcew23 (8007) • United States 19 Oct 08

95% of Americans will see a tax cut. Everyone under 250K will see a tax cut. Every Obama supporter has made this argument why Obama should be President. Are not high taxes though a good thing. Bill Clinton raise taxes not only on...

4magoo Are we ever planning on paying for all the debt Bush and the Republican's ran up by starting a war and then not paying for it but giving everyone a tax cut with the biggest cut going to the richest? I am not for increasing taxes, no one wants to pay taxes. On...

Do you think YOU would be a good President of the United States?

init_towinit @init_towinit (53) • United States 19 Oct 08

You know how sometimes you'll hear a story on the news or read it in some magazine about how this person did this or that and you think to yourself "Pfff!! If it had been me, I would have..." So what about being president? Do you...

4magoo I think I would make a terrible president. It isn't that I wouldn't try to do my best but I would have a real problem trying to look through all the possible solutions and then pick one and move the whole country in that direction. On the other hand, I was a...

Colin Powell Endorses Obama

chameleonsdream @chameleonsdream (1230) • United States 19 Oct 08

Colin Powell just declared on Meet the Press that he will be voting for Barack Obama. His statement about his reasons for coming to that decision literally moved me to tears. His statement was quite clear - he believes that both...

I can't help myself today....I just feel evil

lvaldean @lvaldean (1612) • United States 18 Oct 08

That is right I am feeling evil. I am generally not evil in fact I take pride in being fair and non-partisan. But the truth is that while I find both Obama and McCain to have both pros and cons to their campaigns and their ideas...

4magoo Guys... what is the problem with taxes? I don't like them any more than anyone else but I don't like to to go to the dentist either. The problem is, if I don't go to the dentist I will eventually have a mouth full of rotting teath. If I don't pay my taxes, I...

Are You In a "Pro-American" Area?

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 18 Oct 08

If not, then Sarah Palin doesn't really enjoy visiting your region. I'm really not sure how Sarah, whose own husband reportedly belonged to a group wishing for Alaska to secede from the U.S. and who herself addressed this group on...

Obama and Mccain

reddbone @reddbone (48) • United States 18 Oct 08

4magoo I agree. The Bush/Chaney Republicans got us into an illegal, unethical war. Then instead of paying for it through taxes, they gave the wealthy a huge tax cut. Then to try and make all the rest of us feel like we should love them they tried to buy us off with...

So Many Democrats are Running Against Bush Instead of their Opponent

stealthy @stealthy (8181) • United States 18 Oct 08

Many say this is because of the economy. But consider this: Eight months after Bush took office 9/11 happened with most of the attackers having entered the U.S. under the lax security of the Clinton administration. 9/11 could...

4magoo The short answer Bush. If you borrow money so you can give money away through a series of tax cuts it is wrong. That is why we have such a huge deficite. Bush and Chaney started a war of choice. The war in Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. They haven't been...
