Islam? Thug pals? This is pretty low even for you.

I realize Obama will have a hard time living up to the high standards of the last 8 years.

>I quit being surprised when my friend, and boss, killed himself in 1990. Since then, I have adopted a phrase that fits every situation. OH WELL. It means nothing, but with proper inflection can be pro or con. Regarding this election, if America wins, oh well! If Islam wins, oh well. You see, I believe God is in control, and I believe He has never been surprised. If obama and his thug pals should win, Ann Coulter's prediction will probably come to pass. There will likely be a landslide the other way in 4 years. The Ds are too stupid, criminal, wacky, put your own pejorative here, to hold the offices.

>>We all might be whining soon, Mike. And, oh man, do I so agree with you on the dumbed-down electorate. Actual conversations I had recently:
>>
>>Me: You're voting for Obama? Why?
>>Dude: I think we need change.
>>Me: Does that change include monitoring airwaves to ensure a diversity of opinion? To me that sounds like muzzling free speech!
>>Dude: What do you mean?
>>Me: Obama in his issues makes veiled threats against the free market in broadcasting.
>>Dude: Well, heck, doesn't the FOCC make them present equal time for all viewpoints?
>>Me: You mean the FCC?
>>Dude: Yeah, that's what I meant. Don't they have to air all sides?
>>Me: Not since 1987 when the Fairness Doctrine went away.
>>Dude: Well...ummm...(conversation ends)
>>
>>Co-worker: Man, is Palin dumb or what. She needs some peanut-butter spread (the rest redacted ... extremely crude)
>>Me: Dude, that was uncalled for! What's wrong with her?
>>Co-worker: She's so dumb. She got her butt kicked in the debate and she's an idiot and inexperienced.
>>Me: Inexperienced how? She's been a governor for almost two years.
>>Co-worker: That's what I mean! Governor of what? Alaska? Hahaha.
>>Me: And Obama has been an executive where?
>>Co-worker: (More comments on Palin's anatomy that don't deserve repeating)
>>
>>
>>And it continues. Nine out of 10 Obama supporters I have spoken to cannot name the school he was a lecturer at. These same geniuses cannot tell me what the Federal deficit is. Or whom is the president of Russia.
>>
>>It's like the zombies in the Return of the Living Dead Movies....BRAINS! (Substitute CHANGE!). Most of them don't even know what they are asking for.
>>
>>Bread and circuses.
>>
>>>We have had this discussion before. The entire newspaper industry is dying, and it doesn't have much to do with objectivity. It has a lot to do with a dumbed down populace which gets its information elsewhere or chooses to be uninformed.
>>>
>>>Of course John is entitled to his opinion. I just don't want to talk politics with him any more. Well, at least not until after the election, when he will REALLY be whining, LOL.
>>>
>>>>Mike, you're being thin-skinned. The NYT being pro-Obama to an extreme is not news to anyone. In fact, their loss of objectivity is probably why the subscriber numbers are plummetting as they are losing the trust factor.
>>>>
>>>>John is welcome to his opinion, isn't he? One thing for sure, Obama is the most unvetted, uninvestigated Presidential candidate in modern media history and that leaves a lot of doors open for interpretation.
>>>>

>>>>>>>
>>>>>>Who didn't expect the NYT to go on defense for their candidate. They are trying to create confusion as to whether or not Obama is untrustworthy. I already convinced, he can't be trusted with the garbage, much less our country.
>>>>>
>>>>>You already convinced? You were born convinced. Over and out with you on politics. We have had a meal together and I think you're a good guy but you and me and politics don't mix. Be well.
