77. Botts: so, now you are calling me a retarded dickwad. Guess I hit a nerve, and your true colors are on display. Quite an intellectual response.

No, Botts, I don't care about Barack Obama's religion, gender, color, body type, hairstyle, favorite sports team or favorite clothing designer. I am simply stating the obvious: Barack Obama's message of "change" is fantasy. What has he ever changed during his political career? How often has he displayed bipartisanship, challenging fellow Democrats and the Republicans, relative to other politicians who have worked both sides of the aisle? Did he not notice the corrupt nature of Chicago and Illinois politics and tried to change that culture? As I have said before, his past behavior betrays his "change" message. He is an excellent orator, but when it comes down to being "the agent of change", Barack Obama has no credibility.

79. Have you got a problem with us being energized?
______________________

Nope, because I don't believe that it's going to make much of a difference. Most reasonable people are going to ask themselves a simple question: Do we want four more years of the disasterous policies that we have pursued for the last eight? The answer is going to be a resounding NO.

Great coverage of the RNC. You are such a loser. On election day I will so enjoy posting my comment. I really had a great time in November 2004 after all the disrespect and s**t I had to take from my liberal friends because I have conservative views. I can not wait to hear the comments from our intellectual, tolerant, liberal, 81 percenters. Most notably captain whatever and botts. How could we lose? I know it has to be some conspiracy involving Bush, Rove and Cheney.

81. We should go back to the book of Joshua and "put the enemies to the sword". Sweep them utterly from the earth as GOD commanded in the old testament, otherwise there will be problems in the future. C'mon Christians, let's wipe out the infidels and take back the holy land by force of overwhelming arms.

83. The Fundamental Difference Between Left and Right.


One day a florist goes to a barber for a haircut.
After the cut he asked about his bill and the barber replies:
"I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you;
I'm doing community service this week".

The florist is pleased and leaves the shop.
Next morning when the barber goes to open there is a thank you
card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.

Later, a cop comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his
bill the barber again replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money
from you; I'm doing community service this week." The cop is happy
and leaves the shop.

Next morning when the barber goes to open up there is a thank you card
and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.

Later a Republican comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his
bill the barber again replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money from you;
I'm doing community service this week."

The Republican is very happy and leaves the shop. Next morning
when the barber goes to open, there is a thank you card and a dozen
different books such as "How to Improve Your Business" and "Becoming
More Successful."

Then a Democrat comes in for a haircut, and when he goes to pay his
bill the barber again replies: "I'm sorry, I cannot accept money
from you; I'm doing community service this week."

The Democrat is very happy and leaves the shop. The next morning
when the barber goes to open up, there are a dozen Democrats lined
up waiting for a free haircut.

And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between
left and right.

84. "Botts: so, now you are calling me a retarded dickwad. Guess I hit a nerve, and your true colors are on display. Quite an intellectual response."

Hi David,

I believe my answer was that if you are intentionally putting out false insinuations that don't exist for purpose of giving people false perceptions, this will indicate some serious retard dickwadism.

"No, Botts, I don't care about Barack Obama's religion, gender, color, body type, hairstyle, favorite sports team or favorite clothing designer."

David, I'm extremely happy to hear that.

"Barack Obama's message of "change" is fantasy. What has he ever changed during his political career? "

Check his record David. Find out the answers.

"How often has he displayed bipartisanship, challenging fellow Democrats and the Republicans, relative to other politicians who have worked both sides of the aisle?"

Considering he's in his first term as a Senator, I would say quite a bit. In his state senate position, he was touted for crossing over to work together with both parties.

"Did he not notice the corrupt nature of Chicago and Illinois politics and tried to change that culture? "

Your blaming him for where he lived and started his political career? Sounds to me like he had some ambition. What do you think?

"As I have said before, his past behavior betrays his "change" message."

Please provide evidence of this.

"He is an excellent orator, but when it comes down to being "the agent of change", Barack Obama has no credibility."

And you my friend, have absolutely no basis for this. Zero evidence. Please provide some.

85. 11. Captain Kos says: "Still more evidence that republicans are ignorant, hate filled, nut jobs."

Anyone else seeing the irony?

Speaking of ironic, I was watching Joe "Broken Record" Biden on CNN the other day, talking about how the economy is on the verge of collapse. In the lower right screen, the DOW Indicator was up almost 300 points. Doh !! You'd have thought he'd be smart enough to call in 'sick' or save the "bad economy" bullshit for another day.

Obama Gaffe... Tells ABC's This Week About His "Muslim Faith"

I heard it this morning on the radio. He says he is a muslim and George Stephanopoulos has to remind him he is a christian.

youngturkssuck at 8:48PM on Sep 9th 2008

88. Youngturksuck This Ones for You dude!,

If you're going to tell the story, tell it correctly.

Obama when saying "my Muslim faith" was referring to the fact that he was happy that McCain and his campaign hasn't fueled the fire on calling him a Muslim. When George interrupted and said "Christian Faith", Obama started to clarify that he's talking about the perceived "Muslim Faith" and George caught onto that fact and corrected himself as well.

Get it right or don't say a word. Since you are writing to Okane, is it safe to say that you are a bigoted asshole too? Or am I jumping to conclusions?

Also, do you have a problem with Muslims by any chance?

Thanking you in advance for your answers

Botts at 8:57PM on Sep 9th 2008

89. Botts: now that's a weak response! Your attempt to put me on the defensive falls flat on its face.

I was flabbergasted by your reply to my point regarding Barack Obama's total disregard for corrupt Chicago and Illinois politics. Sarah Palin challenged the corrupt nature of Alaska's "ol' boy" network, so why didn't Barack try to challenge the politics here in Illinois, where I live? There's plenty of opportunities. He could have made a real name for himself, as a reformer, but instead, he surrounded himself with Chicago insiders, like Allison Davis, and other Daley machine cronies.

Poor Botts.....why can't you identify any of Obama's examples of change?

Does "change" mean picking Joe Biden, a 36-year veteran of the Senate, as his VP? Yeah, sure. Mr. "foreign policy" expert, who strongly suggested partitioning Iraq two years ago. Nothing like a 36-year veteran to effect change.

90. I didn't want to put up any double posts but here goes....

B ig OTT ed a S shole,

He didn’t' say perceived Muslim faith. Just “Muslim faith” then in the same breath just says Christian faith as if he just slipped up. And really i was just adding fuel to RO's fire. But of course you have to jump right in, use some profanity and then basically accuse me of hating Muslims!? And I don't have a problem with anybody but the youngturks and their slanted slanderous views
