"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brush fires of freedom in the minds of men." -- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)
I read platforms to decide who I vote for; rhetoric and charisma carry zero weight here. If what is under the hood is undesirable, it doesn't get my vote, regardless of what else is going on.
Reading Bush's served you well.

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.

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?

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. :-/

He's not my first choice, not even my second choice, but out of what's left, he's my ONLY choice.
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.
Fagee Over Hagee has the whole LOLOL-leet crypto-package where he can tell you if you left a light on in the attic and what your credit score will be next Tuesday. Either that, or he was dropped on his head as a baby.

Excellent point - I hadn't even thought of the poverty-pimps reaction...maybe BHO should tap Bill Cosby as his veep, to really stir the pot.
Even knowing the outcome was rigged, I supported the anti-Establishment patriot and would never ever consider playing the McHilloBama goose step.
Most of the stalwart RP supporters on 4um have proven to be frauds in their support now of the Marxist Mulatto Panther Barack Hussein Council on Foreign Relations member Obama...

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.
