I'm not concerned about McCain *if* we have a Democrat Congress. I am concerned with Hillary and a Democrat Congress.

Of the two Democrats, Obama is the best choice. He shows the capacity to learn and even the most cynical person has to admit he pays good lip service to issues at the very least.

At Chez Mirage, we are "traditional New England Republicans" meaning we believe in a balanced budget, smaller government, and all that stuff. The only candidate that believes in that is Ron Paul and we will be voting for him until we are not allowed to any longer. We don't like RINOs and we don't like NeoCons. We do vote for Conservative (or Blue Dog) Democrats if they are better than the Republican.

Color us "equal opportunity" here. Color us "wild-eyed independent" as well if you wish.

But, again, I give Obama high marks for the speech. I just wish it recommended a solution or even outlined the pathway to the solution.

I expect the grievance industry and the Black Community will, in some parts, come unhinged because Obama threatens their livelihoods. We will have to see what the fallout is from that.

America is not at war. The military is at war. America is at the mall and the Congress is out to lunch.

Obama's role in all of this was defined when Barack Hussein Obama was asked to address the '04 Democrat Convention...he's just another OWM puppet.

In 1980, Ronald Reagan was not a member, but his running mate, George H.W. Bush, was. So were both of his opponents – Carter and independent John Anderson. Assuming office, however, Reagan quickly named 313 CFR members to his team.

How could an Obama supporter that pretended to support Ron Paul offend me?

Would anyone notice a difference?

Only at the difference in the target. Imagine Diversity and Grievance people attacking their own.

Obama does "get" one very important thing. You cannot fight discrimination with discrimination. He is ahead of every other Democrat in that regard.

Now he just needs to "get" that people self-segregate by choice in the modern age.

In February 2004, U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama's wife, Michelle, sent a fund-raising letter with the "alarming news" that "right-wing politicians" had passed a law stopping doctors from stabbing half-born babies in the neck with scissors, suctioning out their brains and crushing their skulls.

Mrs. Barack would appear to be inflicted with a serious case of Feminist Flu.

But at least she is not ostracizing cookie bakers. :-/

As I mentioned earlier, after the havoc wreaked on the entire world by 'my generation' presidents, bentmember and smirk; I'm ready to let the younger generation have a go at it.

My hope is that the awakening that Dr.Paul started across the country, and the world, will continue on the local level. That's where most all these criminal cretins that wind up in deecee got their start, after all.

If RP's support included as large of a % of latent McHillObama supporters as it appears, then truly the movement was MUCH smaller than anyone knew...

Interestingly, it appears that MOST of the faux RP supporters came from the traditionally labeled Liberal wing of the CFR Party...

If he does that, my only question is then "Where do I send the check?"

Obama has set the stage now for real leadership. This is political brinksmanship at its best. If he does not seize the moment and emerge as a real leader with a solution and a plan, all is for naught.

All eyes are on Obama now. It is "lead or die" for his campaign at this moment.

I imagine the uproar at Jesse Jackson's mansion is deafening. Obama threatens Jackson's very existance. Ditto for Al Sharpton and the Diversity Mongers.

Once Obama starts in, he will discover that Black America has withdrawn from the country in many parts. Whitey did his part - it is now time for Black America to do its part and join with the rest of us.

Lunch with a friend of mine where we discuss these matters (let's just say his kids are mixed) should be very interesting this week.

Funny, I could have sworn you posted on this forum you would abandon your support for Ron Paul unless he publicly disowned Kucinich.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.
