On Obama
Published: October 11, 2008
Do you think you need a reason to vote no on Obama? Here are two: Observe how he reacts while the National Anthem is being played; and “Call me if you need me.”
He no more has this country’s best interest at heart than the crappie are biting good at Lake Eufaula.

Well I certain stand corrected by the “Blah blah blah and vote 3rd party for Houston County Commission” argument…
I went to Nashville over the 3-day weekend and saw a bumper sticker that say it all…NOBAMA. Enough said!
Blah Blah, Hussein is a terrorist…
Blah Blah, McSame doesn’t have a clue….
Blah Blah, Obama has a slick presidential seal….
Blah Blah, Palin abused power….
Truth is, we are not going to have any answers solved by EITHER candidate. Obama’s tax plan means we all start using the 1040EZ, McCain’s plan changes with the wind. They both have THEIR best interests at heart. They both received LARGE sums of money from places like BearSterns, Fannie/Freddie, Wachovia, Merrill Lynch etc.
“well then what choice is left?“ Vote 3rd party, nothing is going to be changed at the federal level for us anyway. But by voting 3rd party it opens a lot of doors at the Houston County Commission level, the city council level or Mayoral level. What this means is that one of us regulars would have a chance to actually take this community back and do things for the best interest of us all. Let the hacks in DC do their GrandStanding, but make a vote that will help you out where it really matters. As it is if you try to run for something other than (D) or (R) the nice folks at the courthouse don’t really know how to put you on the ballot (if at all) and all it takes is those of us unhappy with our choices of EVIL, to vote other! And no, this is not wasting a vote. Wasting a vote is voting for someone that does not share your values or principles. For you conservative Christian Republicans, your party had run of DC for 6 years and did nothing with Roe V Wade-Do they REALLY share your values?
Well here is “Fact Only” spouting off his “Opinions” again… Whose interests was Obama looking out for associating with Reverend Wright who has been spewing Anti-American hatred and racism for the 20 years that Obama was a member of his church??? Whose interests was Obama looking out for sitting on 2 boards with William Ayers the domestic terrorist??? Whose interests was Obama looking out for when he received the 2nd highest amount of monies from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac??? You can bet it wasn’t the rest of us regular Americans !!! This whole election smacks of Bill Clinton in 1992… The fact that he was a philandering, pot smoking, draft dodger didn’t affect people voting for him… AND then re-electing him… Wake up people !! The whole FM/FM debace is a result of it being thought racist and mean to not give loans to people who could not afford them… We have Barny Frank to thank for that… But hey, as long as we re-distribute the wealth so that we’re all equal right?
When John McCain interceded for Charles Keating (Savings and Loan Debacle) whose interest was he protecting? When an investigation into Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s abuse of power was unanimously approved by the Alaska Legislative Committee 10 republicans and 4 democrats the McCain/Palin Campaign tried to stop investigation. Whose interest were they protecting? When John McCain votes against equal pay for equal work whose interest is he protecting?
The McCain campaign is trying to shift the attention from the economy do not be fooled, he does not have a clue when it comes to saving the U. S. Economy.
