Dear Barak

Dear Barack Obama

BY WILL MANLY


Dear Barack Obama:

I grew to like you over the last year.

I’ve always thought of you as dangerously naive at best. Eloquent, gifted, genuine, yes. But dangerously naive at best.

I couldn’t vote for you — but not because of your funny name or your lunatic pastor. I couldn’t vote for you because you say we should raise taxes (even on the rich, who I’m convinced already pay too much), and because you say we should abandon Iraq (which I’m convinced would be surrendering a war we must win), and because you don’t respect the Second Amendment (which I’m convinced should disqualify any politician from any office).


Dear Barak Obama

I agree with the letter. Specifically this part:

quote:
You’re wrong about why small-town Americans don’t vote for Democrats.

We don’t vote for Democrats because we’re self-reliant so we don’t like the government trying to “solve” everything for us. And because you tell your rich friends in San Francisco that we’re dumb. And because, each election, whichever one of you is running for president traipses all over the country telling us you have all the answers, that you’re the one on our side, that you respect our way of life. But each time, a little bit here and there slips out — and by the end of the campaign, we can tell what you think about us. And we manage to learn who you really are.

And we see you’re just a horse’s ass.

As quoted before, I agree with the statement,

That's the point.

I agree. As much as I dislike and distrust McCain, he's really the only option to preventing higher taxes and bigger government.

I'm not saying he won't raise taxes and make a mess, I'm expecting it. Just not to the scale Obama would.


I actually think McCain has gotten a bad rap for some of the things he has done. I don't believe we would have some of the good, conservative judges on the bench right now if it hadn't been for the infamous "gang of 14". He also gets beat up for voting against the "Bush Tax Cuts", but I believe if you look back at the details, all he wanted was spending cuts in place when the tax cuts took effect but nobody would play along.

I'm not saying he's great and wonderful, but he may not be as bad as some of us conservatives have painted him.

What is your point? You don't seem to be able to comprehend obvious statements or facts. And you bring up details that were in no way part of my post.

My post was about Obama's contempt for the "little man" you seem to be worried about.

I think some can handle another 4 years of Bush and they will get that with McCain who is McSame. I think your GOP will be packing soon. Thank God!

I have to second that. Living in California now, the cost of a home barely 1000 sq ft is over $500,000. Kinda makes the south seem pretty smart to me.

The republicans gave Tax breaks for rich folks who own yachts in California. Yep, glad we live in the south.

The yacht tax included all boats larger than a sloop, plus private aircraft and RVs. It would have put a number of people out of work and sent their jobs to Mexico. And, small businesses to other states. Of coutse, democrats don't care aboout such results, as long as they taxed someone.


You forgot to mention "talk bad about and point fingers at Republicans". That's a major democrat decision maker, too. If they can't blame it on Republicans, they're not interested in it as an issue.
