i didn't want to do it.

i do not normally want to get political on my blog, but... i was listening to the radio and some body called in and was talking about how we (us right wingers) were making barrak guilty by association, and that some one cannot be guilty by association. that is not true. even in a court of law you can be an accessory after the fact, because you knew someone and that they had done some thing that was wrong and did nothing about it. if only a couple of his inner circle supporters were wack jobs i could go along with the idea that he is not also a wack job. but if you live in an insane asylum there is probably a reason. there is a long and growing list of people barrak has called; advisers, guides, mentor, friend, supporter, associate, etc. who are not uniters,or even nice people as barrak proclames himself to be. at some point we have to start wandering why he surrounds himself with these people. think about it, how many of your close friends don't share a good portion of your value system. and if they don't, under what circumstance do you know them. my cousin for example. into drugs and drinking and piercings and tattoos, but i like him a lot. why do i let him come around me? because he is family. beyond that most of my friends are members of the same church i go to. beyond that my friends have many of the same values i do and where we don't agree they most often know about it. if a man's friends(not to mention his wife) are nothing but raciests, terrorists, or hate our country in general what does that tell us about how well he chooses who to be around. the two options i see are that he is either naive(not a good quality for president), or that he has the same values as the people he hangs around(once again in this case, not a good quality or qualities for president). i know some say this is all political rhetoric and we need to stick to the issues but for me, a man's(i know women can be president too) value system is an issue. (BTW, i don't like Hillary either). i would like to apologise (especially to temp, because it bothers her most) for my gross spelling and grammatical errors.

i think we are used to you by now bruce. if not, we should be.

Yes, I agree, Obama is a poop-flinger.

timpani76 said...

I think this race is going to continue to get nastier and nastier in the mainstream media, and all us super freak right wingers are just going to have to brace ourselves lest we die of anger. Erik especially :) He never gets mad, except when it comes to politics.

Obama is falling in my esteem, but McCain is too. I think as the race gets closer I will just be looking long and hard at the third party candidates.

Bruce said...

true, but i have never esteemed any of these 3 very highly any way and, usually a third party candidate will only lose the election for the conservitive.(ie ross parot) i would not be so oposed to throwing the race to both ease my consince and get the chance to elect romney in 4 years but i cannot in good consince allow obama into the white house. i would far rather have mccain than obama. shoot, i would far rather have clinton than obama.
and sory brad i will try to establish paragraph breaks in the future.

Not true, Ralph Nader was blamed for Gore losing the election.

I agree the people you hang out with show alot about you. So spending time with bruce shows that I must have something wrong with me.

CAPITALIZATION

lizS said...

i think the fact that we willingly and with open arms let BRAD CARTER into our midst basically demonstrates that we are all unbalanced.

Brad Carter said...

I'm glad you said it, Liz. I didn't want to be the one to bring that up. I hope none of you ever run for office.

Bruce said...

ARE YOU KIDDING, IF I GET ELECTED, YOU ARE TOTALLY IN MY CABINET. I NEED TO KNOW HOW THE ENEMY THINKS. (HOW'S THIS FOR CAPITALIZATION?)

Eyepoke said...

I hope Barak Obama drowns in acid.

Eyepoke said...

But I hope his wife falls into hot lava.

Eyepoke said...

But lives even though some of it gets into her mouth.

Eyepoke said...

I dont really wish anything bad for Hillary other than she stays married.

Eyepoke said...

Mrs BHO will probably complain that the lava was racist lava.

Bruce said...

but what if it was mexican lava?

Dana Cheryl said...

or chinese lava... Well, I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone in thinking that Obama isn't the savior of mankind. It's scary that I come here to feel validated in life. haha!

I'm soooooo glad that we are not the only ones without a clue as to how to vote this election. We can't just sit and do nothing. So which is the lesser evil? There are way too many issues surrounding all of the candidates. However, Hillary didn't do a half bad job the last time she ran the Oval Office... :) Ok... it was more than half bad. I'm open for discussion.

Bruce said...

all other issues aside, we can't improve anny thing if we have no security. which one of these people do you MOST trust to keep us safe.

Brad Carter said...

This thread sounds a little like...

'On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.'

'Odd', said Arthur, 'I thought you said it was a democracy.'

'I did' said Ford, 'It is.'

'So,' said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, 'why don't people get rid of the lizards?'

'It honestly doesn't occur to them,' said Ford. 'They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.'

'You mean they actually vote for the lizards?'

'Oh yes', said Ford with a shrug, 'of course.'

'But', said Arthur, going for the big one again, 'why?'

'Because if they didn't vote for a lizard', said Ford, 'the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?'

Geez Brad, it's like you just assume everyone here has read this book (oh wait...).
