Well, talking about bringing the world to a "peaceful existence" , referrring to Sen Obama as "peaceful" and then immediately DESPISING somebody strikes me as quite a contradiction. But just my opinion which means you will disagree....guess that is how it goes. I dont use words like DESPISE....HATE, etc....and find it rather funny that someone advocating "peace" would have that strong of hatred...quite strange ! But then, a review of the posts on here concerning Gov Palin are pretty much hate filled !

How anyone could HATE somebody they dont even know and only know what the bloggers tell them simply amazes me. I will not vote for Sen Obama but I dont despise or hate him !

"Obama is a peaceful, concerned, educated breath of fresh air that will bring the world closer to a peaceful existance."
"Palin is not running for president. Thank goodness, because I despise her."

Is it just me or does anyone else see the contradiction here ?

Bucco ... I do find it a bit confusing ... "a peaceful existence" and "I despise her" just don't seem to follow the same train of thought.

Well then...I guess that is why we should vote for Obama....so we can stop hating everyone when we are in our more peaceful existance....now we are all just mean and nasty to everyone.....especially poor Sara P.

I think there has been a lot of nasty talk about Palin and McCain....but I also know that Obama has been slammed around the room MANY times!!!

Yep 16,000 tickets to see her, Yep to see her read from a speech that the RNC wants you to hear. The same as any candidate will do.. i will bet you a lifes pay, that if Biden or Obama or McCain or Hillary or anyone that was trying to get into office was to show up here you would get the same result. Heck if GW was to show, you would have the same deal, even as bad as he is people would show up just stand there and here nothing.. But then i guess you would say that he isnt failing either? Just get to he jist of things, who is the better deal. besides how many more times are they going to use the, He (McCain) was a POW and that means he will be the best Commander In Chief we could have. We need to worry more about how will lead our ECONOMY back to the top, not waste more money in IRAQ. Besides although he has the Title Commander in Chief, doesnt mean that is what he does. That is what the Joint Chiefs are for.. Remeber Powell and the Stormin Norman. i served under them in the first Gulf War. Those are the leaders in charge of the Military. I am a Reg Rep, but actually believe i will vote for Obama, since McCain picked Sara. had he picked Mitt to run, they would have my vote. But to pick Sara only because Obama didnt pick Hillary is a slap in the face. You dont have to be a rocket scientist to see that.

GMoney....what a great post~great thoughts! Thanking you for sharing..

Doble Grrooan

Star...I don't know you...nor at this point do I care to know you. But atleast other people on this forum or TOTV just give their opinions. Everyone is on here because they want to be...whether they agree with each other or not. Even Bucco and I still can have conversation...real words when we disagree. If you have something to say to me please just say it....

Say it, move on and GROW UP!! I though this was a group of adults! Perhaps you are lost....perhaps you want the webkinz website where in the chat room you can repeat the same sentence over and over again!

PS....I have read your other posts...and while I did not agree with them....I decided that instead of posting back...I would just move on....why don't you do the same. Instead of being rude, insensitive and immature.

Palin: "To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters. I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House."

Palin actually slashed funding for schools for special needs kids by 62%.

Palin: "I told the Congress "thanks, but no thanks," for that Bridge to Nowhere. If our state wanted a bridge, we'd build it ourselves."

Just to reiterate what others have said: Congress' requirement that funds be spent on that bridge (aka the 'earmark') were removed before Sarah Palin became governor. She was therefore in no position to tell Congress anything about the bridge, one way or the other. During her campaign, she said she supported funding for the bridge. Later, she accepted the money -- now not restricted by an earmark -- and used it for other infrastructure projects. In the city Ketchikan, the planned site of the so-called "Bridge to Nowhere," political leaders of both parties said the claim was false and a betrayal of their community, because she had supported the bridge and the earmark for it secured by Alaska's Congressional delegation during her run for governor.
"People are learning that she pandered to us by saying, I'm for this' ... and then when she found it was politically advantageous for her nationally, abruptly changed position.

Palin: "America needs more energy ... our opponent is against producing it."

No -- he plans to develop a lot more energy than John McCain does. It's just that a lot of it is renewable, not carbon-based. Moreover, Obama hasn't skipped the last eight votes on renewable energy.

Palin: "The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes ... raise payroll taxes ... raise investment income taxes ... raise the death tax ... raise business taxes ... and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars.

Well, it all depends whose taxes go up, doesn't it? Most Americans will pay less in taxes under Obama's plan than under McCain's. So they might well be better off.

BHO's energy plan is to keep your tires inflated!!! He is against drilling and wants to keep 2000 acres in Alaska pristine for the moose. Terrific.

One of the first things BHO will do, if elected, is raise taxes on small businesses who employ more people than any other type of businesses.

Every year the Democrats run against an incumbent Republican, they say were in the worst recession since the Great Depression. This is blatantly false as anyone that checks the facts will find out.

The Democrats will soon bring up claim that the Republicans will do away with Social Security as they always bring up during the presidential election year just to scare the senior citizens.

Just remember the Villages is not the real world. It is a carefully engineered community with one paper, one TV station and one radio station that keeps the masses under control with pretty surroundings that impress everyone coming here. Check out surrounding newspapers in the area and you will see the Daily Sun is not reflecting the news of our world. It is orchestrated to encourage you to think the way the Morse's think. But they are not middle class people like we are. They are the elite that even can bring presidents and vp hopefuls to come and woo the common folks here. If you make over $250K a year the Republicans are your party. If not, what do they do for you? Ever seen a balanced report on anything political? Not even Doonsberry is allowed in the newspaper!

Nomadman, it appears you're newer to TOTV, welcome! I think if you read through past posts in the TOTV you will realize most of the people posting here are very aware of the limited scope of the Sun Times and do not rely on it for the hard news in the world and that the developer is EXTREMELY Republican. Sounds like you've just discovered those facts....

Alaskans are even protesting!! http://www.snopes.com/politics/palin/rally.asp
Her home state even rallies against her!! This is TRUE!!!

Yep, class warfare. That's the way to go. Come on -- you're using the DNC talking points. Think for yourself.

That's how Socialism takes over. Move to EU for that mess. I still believe in liberty and the US Constitution.
