He will not be reelected in 2012. Sarah Palin run for President in 2012. Who run for president? Who first woman to run for president? Who first red or yellow or any color to run for president? Any country to run for president? Who gay/lesbian to run for president?
For us conservatives, this whole process has just been frustrating.
We had McCain a moderate (somewhat socialist) and Obama (a socialist) to choose from.
The socialist won. What can we say?
We are in a time similar to 1976. A liberal Republican (Nixon) had been elected in 1972. Ford, his VP was running as the Republican against Democrat Jimmy Carter.
4 years after that, we got REAGAN!!
Where is our Reagan now??? Is it Newt? Is it Romney or Huckabee or someone else?
A friend passed me this 3 min Reagan video. Reagan's mood sums up where us liberty minded people are right now.
How could I forget Ron Paul? He very well might be the next Ronald Reagan. His stance on the Federal Reserve is 100% correct.
And Sarah Palin? Us religious right folks and many of us fiscal conservatives also loved Sarah Palin. The left hated her. Hate would be an understatement. Next time around, she might not be the top dog, but she's going to be shaping the party.
when mccain started running all thoses ads saying obama was a socialist, saying obama was gonna give everyone healthcare, and saying obama was going to spread the wealth......the undecided people heard this and said "whoa, that is what we need"....and that is what turned the tide....america is ready for a bigger government that spends money for the people ....not spend money for foreign countries and war........hold on folkes, help is on the way
I think america is ready for the fiscal responsibility of the democratic party. After all Clinton was the last time we were paying off the debt. But hey maybe the republicans will re group to destroy the county in 2012
The republican congress was the only thing fiscally responsible under Clinton. Clinton refused to balance the budget, or at least sign his name on the dotted line and be held to it. It was congressional pressure and educating the American people that lead to a budget surplus.
With time between the next election (probably 2 weeks before they start their 2012 pursuits) get informed about RON PAUL. If you give him a chance I bet you will be very pleased with the vast majority of his views compared to McCain's, who some people voted for and had very little in common with, or any other candidate for that matter. He is the only hope for a return to the original intent of our Founding Fathers and the dying constitution. I challenge everyone to educate themselves about Liberty. I try to squeeze in a little everyday.
ron paul is a clown. the only votes he got were from burned out ex hippies that hoped he would get elected and leagleize dope for so they could lay around all day stoned with there hand out
9:12am.. I thought thats why people voted for obammy. lay around and smoke crack till the cash numbers fall...kinda the same idea from Obammy supporters aint it?
This election proved that any idiot can run and be elected as president. Qualifications not needed. The only requirement is to be a successful liar when speaking to the stupid majority.
Boy are you folks going to get what you deserve. Yeah, sure go ahead and rant and rave now. I bet I get the last laugh though.
It is interesting that the GOP is screaming that Obama is a socialist when 23 of the top 25 states that get more money back from the federal government than what they sent in are "red states".
Alaska gets $2 back for every $1 sent to Washington.
Now who are the socialist. To me aleast....It looks like the blue states are providing welfare for the red states.
1:53, you are right. Those of us that voted for Obama will get what we deserve. The sad part is, those of you who didn't will get it also. Finally, there is hope for America.
10:33 AM Are you that stupid. Money is going to come fom the most populated states. We can't help the fact that the majority of the liberals live in states like Califorina or New York. And, like it or not, the blacks voted for Obama because he was black. Not what he could do for the country. So what we have in fact is a bunch of bleeding heart liberals teamed up with the I'll vote for ayone black - black voters, turning those states blue.
It has nothing to do with welfare you dumb a$$ you.
With all the promises that were made to you by Obewan; to get it means that some of you will have to give up giving birth as a career and go to work. Us republicans are not going to flip the bill for the lazy. We'll start routing money through overseas banks.
Whatcha gona do when the big red republicans STOP supporting you?
10:33 am, I consistently vote for the small government candidate, so I guess you can call me a red stater.
I can tell you this: I don't get anything from big brother but a big hand reaching into my pocket taking my hard earned money.
We are a Constitutional Republic with property rights protected by the Constitution. We are not a Democracy (contrary to public opinion) where 51% can rob the other 49%.
I also find it interesting when someone like 10:33 post a message they become insulting. Typical GOP reactionary slander. Yes, the Blue states do have a greater populated but they have same level of voice in the senate. Also the more populate areas have a more complex and expsensive intrastructure to manitain so population does factor but not in the aspect that you are refering to.
10:33 You need to take the thorn out of your Bib overalls so you can carry on a civil discussing.
IN MY OPINION: The democrats would like nothing more than to rip up the U.S. Constitution and re-write history.
America needs to climb down off there Obama perch and start looking behind the man. The real power doesn't rest with the president. The "post turtle" analogy may fit very well in this scenario. And, if you don't know what a post turtle is, google it.
Put things into perspective. Mr. Obama is a rookie politician without much knowledge about real world government. What he has that appeals to the power behind the man is that he is black, very well educated, a very good speaker, willing to play follow the leader as long as he can appear to be the one in the lead. He's young and looking for his place in the history books, which he has now. He would need some skeletons in his closet, which one could assume he would have because of some of his past friends. He would need a tremendous pride, but one that can be manipulated, and one he would refuse to let people, even family, see had been manipulated. A pride that he would protect at any cost. With power comes money. The power behind that man will protect his assets and money from taxes because that is one of the dominate strings. This is just the tip of the ice berg.
I have nothing against change. But the change we have coming our way is not what everyone intended.
Obama has been put on that post and we are not supposed to know who put him up there. He really don't know how he got up there and he really won't know what to do while he's up there. But he's going to let the ones that put him up there control the situation so he won't fall off the post and look like a failure.
We will witness a balancing act over the next few years or December 21, 2012 which ever comes first. I guess my opinion can be just like that date in the future. It will be right or it will be wrong. I sincerely hope we are both wrong.
There is not much that I can say that I know for sure about how thing are in these times but this is what I do know:
Unemployment is through the roof and getting worse. The consumer price index shows that we are paying far more each year and bring far less each week in our pay check. The middle class has repeatedly become the victum who had to pay the price for the decisions of those who did not have the interest of our country in mind.
An American politician once said that you don't have to worry about the poor.......You can alway hire one half to distroy the other half.
When I voted this year.....I looked for the platform that preached unity not division. We are in a hell of a mess and some things are not going to get any better but the ones that will.. will require that we all change the way we think about certain aspects of life and then work to gether to make that change.
Yes, I'm glad it's over. Glad Obama won. Bush's 2 terms have done so much damage to our country and McCain failed to come up with anything new that impressed me, including Sara Palin. We need a very smart president and a new dirrection. I prefer hope over fear and smear tactics.
just my thoughts ... I hope you get everything you deserve. "hope over fear and smear tactics." it's obvious you have no idea. You elected a no experienced senator with ties to American terrorism, and with a muslim background. You;ve already seen the Rev Wright whom he followed. His involvement with ACORN only adds to his dark past. Iran is already putting conditions on him. He is showing is "yes man" qualities. Yeah! I hope you get all you deserve.
Obama – what a hypocrite. Now he has a test to determine who can be on his administration that hasn’t done anything to embarrass him. He can’t even pass his own test and he’s not even qualified to get a high level security clearance himself. What a joke! What an embarrassment to our country!
Our money is getting stretched because of inflation. This is because the Federal Reserve keeps printing more money.
That additional money being "pumped" out into the economy is making the dollars you bring home worth less. Much of that money is being loaned (at an interest) to our government to support social programs like welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, subsidies to whoever and yes a very expensive war in Iraq. So, social programs and expensive wars are part of our inflationary problem....
This is neither a Republican nor Democrat issue. Neither really talk about it. Ron Paul seems to be the only politician who talks about this.
We need to abolish our Central Bank the Federal Reserve and get back to an economy where every dollar is backed by an amount of gold. That is the only way that our government will get a balanced budget and act responsibly.

Enjoy! May God save the USA!
I forgot to mention 2 other possibilities:
Sarah Palin or Ron Paul.

Try Ron Paul.

9:12am.. I thought thats why people voted for obammy. lay around and smoke crack till the cash numbers fall...kinda the same idea from Obammy supporters aint it?
12:27 AM,
Well said. Ron Paul is the only politician of the 2 major parties that truly understands the Constitution and understands economics inside and out.
If you like the idea of liberty, and you don't know who Ron Paul is, then you should get his book: revolution.
Or at least check one of his websites: http://www.campaignforliberty.com
9:12 AM, Ron Paul is not a clown and I am way to young to be a hippie.

Remember - you heard it here first.
Welcome to the Obamanation

GO OBAMA!!!
Isn't it interesting that 23 of the top 25 states that get more money back from the federal government than they send in are red states.
Alaska # 3
Georgia # 30 (breaks even)
The Republicans controlled states are getting the welfare and then pointing the finger at the blue states as being the problem.
Who would have known????
10:33 AM
Are you that stupid. Money is going to come fom the most populated states. We can't help the fact that the majority of the liberals live in states like Califorina or New York.

Obama's mother is white. He has no father? He born in Hawaii. He not black? He was a Tan? I saw on TV

No panic - just pointing out the truth. I want you and other like you to remember what you helped do to the USA.
