Democrats Failed by Picking Obama

What were you thinking?

Published on August 17, 2008 By Island Dog In Democrat

I have no shame and I am proud to admit I am a Conservative American. However, McCain is obviously not my first choice but I will admit he has a good shot at rolling right over Obama this fall. After watching some of last nights "forum" I really have to wonder what goes through the heads of democrats in this country. If they truly want "change", why nominate a candidate with no experience and a very shady background? I mean seriously, did anybody at the DNC ever take a look at Obama's background?

What we know about Obama:

He's a good speaker.
He wants "change".
He's black.

That's about it folks.

We all know he wants "change", but depending on what state he's in or what the poll's show, that "change" is hard to figure out. With gas prices topping out at over $4 a gallon, Obama's solution seems to be the same solution for everything across the board.....raise taxes. Of course his supporters don't realize the implication of that because they are too busy holding hands and chanting "change" whever they go.

What we don't know about Obama:

If he's actually eligible to run for President.
Why he is hiding his muslim past.
Why the media is going to great lengths to cover for Obama.
And much, much more.

Now me making note that Obama (or Barry Sotetoro) is black will automatically make me labeled as a racist. That is the tactic the Obama campaign and the DNC have done from the start, and they think Americans are too stupid to not realize it. Lets make it known, I don't care what color Barry is, it makes no difference to me. The only person who has made race an issue in this campaign is Barry himself. Anyone who disagrees with his policies, or questions his past is labeled as a racist and the media runs with it. The only issue I have with race in this campaign is Barry's support for people like Wright and Louie, or in other words, the real racists in this election.

There are now serious questions being raised to if Obama is actually eligible to be President. Back during the debates, the DNC and media pushed a story that McCain wasn't eligible because he was born in Panama. The McCain camp fought back this attack and won, but the media hasn't made any mention of the allegations against Obama that his birth certificate is faked, and that his whole background is a fuzzy blur. Is it true, I don't know, but why doesn't the media and Barry come forward with the truth and put this matter down?

Next, Barry keeps lying about his muslim past. My problem isn't that he was a muslim, my problem is that he keeps lying to conceal the fact. For what purpose? Even his own family in Kenya wonders why he is hiding his past.

Now this "forum" this weekend really proved what I have been saying for months, Obama is nothing more than a huge marketing campaign. If he is not in front of a teleprompter or has the ability to select the questions given to him, he stumbles....and he stumbles BAD. McCain blew Obama away and the far left is non to happy about it today. They are now promoting new stories that talk about how Novembers election is already "rigged" for McCain, and other nonsense that they make up.

The fact is Obama is a horrible candidate for the democrats, and you really have to start asking why the democrats chose Barry. I often make tongue-in-cheek comments about the intelligence of people voting democrat, but after seeing millions of Americans being fooled to vote for someone with a fake "rock star" image, I have to wonder if my comments are really true.

So are you saying that every factory/workplace we have in our country is either in disrepair and/or operating to full capacity? I can tell you that mine isn't. We have plenty of room at this point to move more commerce.

is every road in disrepair or over used? No,of course not. But without care and upkeep, it will be! Again you are looking at this minute and extropolating out to the far future. A lemming attitude, but not one that is going to produce jobs or returns for investors.

No but it has flucuated usually higher during rebuplican administrations up to 15% during Reagan and Bush 1.

No it has not. You missed the point. The "poor", "middle class", and "rich" are arbitrary delinieations that have no basis in reality. By today's world standards, our poor are Rich. The middle class will not disappear for many reasons, but the reason you will never find it changing is that you are using government statistics and they always grade on a bell curve.

So it is your job to make formal complaints about management, but never about your co-workers. Your co-workers can steal all they want and you will look the other way everytime, but if management pisses you off, then heads should roll?

Hypocrit!

Please read my whole statement as I say right in there that I do say stuff to people if need be. But you will never and I mean never see management doing that to other management. I make sure my Brothers and sisters act responsibly and honestly. However management time and again will cover up for each other even when they know the other is lying, again this is based on many supervisors caught over the years.

[quote who="kurtin" reply="4" id="1840830"]Obama is a fine candidate, and I'm sure he can do wonders for this country where President Bush and his administration has failed

Ditto obama is the man to lead us forward!

I did read your statement and I find your attitude about management ignorant, arrogant and prejudice... unless you are only talking about the company you work for, then I'll take some of that back.

The fact you make formal complaints against management, but only "make sure" your co-workers act responsibly and honorably shows your prejudice.

And unless you share parents with your co-workers, none of them are "brothers" or "sisters"... unless of course, you are a Marxist, then I question your respect for freedom.

I am talking about my company, but also others I have worked for in the past and about 5 my wife has worked for as well along with 3 my father has worked for. So no I am not talking aobut all companies, I do know of a few that have different approaches to workers and aclly they work quite well, one that comes to mind off hand is a printing company here called QuadGraphics. I will say not all companies are like this but in my experience it has been most.

And unless you share parents with your co-workers, none of them are "brothers" or "sisters"... unless of course, you are a Marxist, then I question your respect for freedom.

Ted I think your reaching on this one. It is common for people in this country to refer to fellow workers and union members as brothers and sister. Just as it is common for my father and sister both of whom have served(sister still is)in our nation's armed forces, to call their fellow soldiers brothers and sisters in arms. Matter of fact many times the president refers to them as this. This goes thoughout our nation's history. So I respectfully ask that you recant your remark about questioning my respect for freedom. Mfamily has given enough to maintain our freedom and the only reason I didnt serve was a birthdefect to my ear and hearing. So when you questions my respect for freedom or love of this country I kinda have a problem with that.

One other thing about the brother/sister thing ted, am I allowed to call my sister, myster? See my mom and dad are white as am I, but my sister is adopted from Taejan South Korea. I simply have never thought of her as anything less than a real sister.

First line should be "call my sister, my sister."?

WHy does your race matter? Apparently it somehow makes a difference, but for what I have no clue. If your sister is adopted, that matters should she need a transplant, but her race and your race should never matter to most people. Except liberals apparently.

It was in response to Ted saying that I cant or shouldnt call my fellow union members brothers or sisters I pointed out that members of the armed forces call each other brothers and sisters in arms all the time....but I agree wtih you it doesnt matter in the least to me.

I only questioned your respect for freedom is you are a Marxist.

I know that union members call each other "brothers" and "sisters", but it's a meaningless term in that context. When you compete for a job with them, are they still your "brother" or "sister"? Are you happy that some other "brother" or "sister" got that promotion you were more qualified for?

I'll ask you the same questions I ask of everyone who thinks their union is looking out for them....

When will your union maintain the same lifestyle for you that your union dues maintains for the leaders of your union?

If your union leaders say your employer should pay you more, so why aren't they willing to pay you more? Strike pay is nowhere near what the union leaders demand your employer pay you. They are the ones who set the price for your skills and experience, so if they were honest and ethical, they would be paying you what they say you're worth.

where he voted against legislation that outlawed infanticide on babies born alive despite attempts to abort.

infanticide wasn't already against the law in illinois? do tell.

the ONLY one who voted against this legislation. Even Nancy Pelosi gave it a 'yay' vote

to the best of my knowledge, pelosi never hadda vote in the illinois legislature.

no true 'Christian' would ever have an abortion anyway, right?

leave it to a guy whose middle name is hussein to devise such an insidiously sinister strategy: betting bad christians will continue to have abortions alla while knowing good muslims won't. a couple generations later, who'll be the majority?

No you didnt

And unless you share parents with your co-workers, none of them are "brothers" or "sisters"... unless of course, you are a Marxist, then I question your respect for freedom.

This was your quote, Simply put you said that if I call my co-workers "Brothers" or "Sisters" then I am a Marxist ans you question my respect for freedom. Are memebers of the military Marxists? With this quote that is what you are saying.

I'll ask you the same questions I ask of everyone who thinks their union is looking out for them....

When will your union maintain the same lifestyle for you that your union dues maintains for the leaders of your union?

If your union leaders say your employer should pay you more, so why aren't they willing to pay you more? Strike pay is nowhere near what the union leaders demand your employer pay you. They are the ones who set the price for your skills and experience, so if they were honest and ethical, they would be paying you what they say you're worth.

Where do I start with this one? Come on seriously. First off my union leaders dont pay me. Their job is to get better wages and benefits for me. And they do that very well. Right now we have non-union competition in our indsutry and at top rate they make about $10-$12 less at top rate. And we get to top rate faster. The benefits make this gap even larger. In almost all industries unions get better pay than is standard fro thier brothers and sisters.

About them paying me well again they dont pay me the employer does. You see Unions only have dues basically, the company has much more resources. Strikes are not expected and usually dont last long. Strikes are kinda like a absolute last resort thing. Kinda of like our nation going to war, well that was a last resort thing, not so much anymore, but thats a different topic. The bottom line is they exsist to help me and they work very hard at it. I have seen union reps jobs and I dont want them. VERY long hours and travel. Thye give up time with friends and family for my rights, and benefit.
