Chris Dodd: We Can’t Afford Six More Years Of President Bush

Six more years?

A) Bush isn’t on the ballot for 2008 no matter how bad the Democrats want to make it seem that way.

B) Presidents serve for 4 year terms.  Senators serve for 6 year terms.

But hey, what are a few pesky details between friends?  Next he’ll be telling us that there are 57 states or something.

We can’t afford a month of Obama!

Here you go again, I enjoy every minute.

A) Same policies, just older.

B) I agree.

57 States. Don’t watch the Colbert Report, you won’t understand it.

Nunez on May 13, 2008 at 02:14 pm

Zsa Zsa:  Unless the GOP and conservatives swallow thier differences and back McCain, we will endure 48 months of President Obama.

President Obama.... keep saying it to yourself, let it roll off your tongue… get used to it....

UGH!!

Dodd must be from one of those 7 other states we don’t know about.

nunez, I am glad that you agree with known facts.  In response to your 57 states comment, for some reason I think you would be hammering President Bush if he had made that statement instead of Obama.



A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

Chris Doddering: Another gift that keeps on giving!
Six year terms for President, 57 states...are there any Democrats that passed their Eighth Grade Government class??? Heh.



For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

LEIBERMAN NEO-LIBS AND PODHORETZ NEO-CONS DESPERATELY NEED TO ELECT MC-CAIN OR HILLARY

McCain’s ideological support comes from Podhoretz Neo-Cons and Leiberman Neo-Libs, not Reagan Conservatives nor Kennedy Liberals. These supporters have the same Neo-Marxist roots, which go back nearly 60 years, when millions of defeated Marxist immigrants from Nazi German and the Soviet Union were admitted by America, as desperate persecuted refugees; after all of the European nations wisely refused to take them.

By the McCarthy Era, many of these pathetic refugees had gotten good government positions; and, by way of showing their deep gratitude to the American People, they systematically corrupted the government and endangered national security, by working as spies for Marxist Russia. The most notorious of these spies, the Rosenbergs, were executed for treason. This had the intended beneficial effect of stopping most of the dangerous spying; but it had the unintended consequence of causing these Marxists to seek social and economic power by pretentiously assimilating into the Conservative Republican and Liberal Democrat parties; where they quickly evolved into the Neo-Conservatives and Neo-Liberals, with insidious ideological opposition to traditional Christian Culture and Constitutional Principles.  The result of the subversive influence by these self-serving Crypto-Neo-Marxists in the government, schools, news media and entertainment media was the increasingly intolerable cultural degeneration that has caused the American Cultural War. 

Neo-Marxist Ideology is notoriously characterized by:
1.  Contempt for Patriotism
2.  Contempt for Christianity
3.  Contempt for the Right to Bear Arms
4.  Contempt for the Right to Freedom of Speech
5.  Contempt for the Principle of Defensive Foreign War
6.  Contempt for Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection
7.  Contempt for the Sanctity of the Nuclear Family
8.  Contempt for the Sanctity of Human Life
9.  Contempt for the Humanitarian Sanctions by United Nations of the World
10.  Contempt for Traditional Republicans and Democrats

All of this contempt is transparently motivated by a dogmatic belief in gaining an advantage by self-serving insubordination to the practice of national religious and governmental traditions, which grant the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  These Neo-Marxists zealots, like their foolish Marxists predecessors, imagine that they will somehow create their new superior self-serving civilization, if they first destroy the traditional allegiance to the nuclear family, Christianity, nationalism, and the Constitution. 

Israel, which these Marxists refugees have had all to themselves to try out their incredible utopian social engineering ideas on their own little artificially created state, is notoriously poorly governed ; and the Israeli People, once the most widely pitied in the World, have come to justly earn the distinction of now being universally despised and condemned. 

In this 2008 presidential battle of the American Cultural War shall the Reagan Conservatives and the Kennedy Liberals finally combine forces against these desperately united Podhoretz Neo-Cons and Leiberman Neo-Libs; or shall they continue to suffer the increasing ideological subversion of their Republican and Democrat parties, the corruption of their traditional Christian and Constitutional culture, and the sacrifice of the wealth and blood of the American People to sole benefit of Israel?

Shall Neo-Con McCain have a date for the presidency, or a date for the Republican firing squad party; and, shall Neo-Lib Hillary have a date for the presidency, or a date for the Democrat witch burning party?

dougee,

Obama preframed the ‘57 States’ joke, “Over the last fifteen months we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 50......7 states.”
He then looked down, smirked and people laughed in the background.

If Bush would of said it in the same context, I would be embarrassed if Democrats wasted time focusing on something so insignificant.

Is Obama an elitist, who went to Harvard who can’t supposedly connect with white working class or is he so dumb that he doesn’t know there’s 50 states? I even think Bush knows there’s 50 states.

Now, if people believe he thinks it’s 57 states, then the people who voted for Bush because he wasn’t so educated should vote for Obama then.

That statement makes absolutely no sense Nunez. Is English a second language for you? I’m guessing you’re trying to say that in your opinion Bush is poorly educated. However, Bush received a BA from Yale in 1968 and MBA from Harvard in 1975.

We can’t afford the same click of career politicians from either party in congress anymore. But it’s our own fault for not taking it upon ourselves to initiate term limits on the buffoons. Common sense says their not going to limit their career life expectancy on their own.

I guess I would agree with that as a general statement.  Some of them do good their whole career, most do not.

Not that I would ever want this to happen but I remember in one of Clancy’s books where pretty much all of Congress is wiped out.  Governors get a chance to appoint REAL people and not career politicians.  They essentially get a clean slate. 

It makes you wonder what could actually be accomplished if that were to happen.

Spartacus,

I’ll skip the ad hominem.

Now, George H. W. Bush went to Yale University and became part of Skull & Bones following in his father, Prescott Bush’s footsteps. President Bush was grandfathered in and by his own admission he was an ‘average student.’

I do not believe that President Bush is stupid. I think he’s an intelligent man, but a man that is very short-sighted and dogmatic.

I’m guessing you’re trying to say that in your opinion Bush is poorly educated.

No. What I’m saying is that Bush ran on a personality of someone you’d like to have a beer with. Someone that wasn’t eloquent and was ‘like a small town blue collar worker.’

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Nothing has changed with the manor of which the man speaks to the public, he is, in his heart a small Texas town resident.
You, however, seem to give the impression that you look down upon small towns, blue collar workers, beer drinkers or any combination of the above, so again I find myself guessing, this time I’m guessing you live within 100 miles of salt water, but I digress.

I agree, some are keepers, however, when a pond with a regular supply of keeper fish becomes contaminated with bowfin (dog fish), their are only 2 options, hope for the best, or clean out the pond. For some reason hoping for the best never works.

Funny that I was born in a very small town as the son of a farmer. Skip the ad hominems, it has never solved a problem.

Funny, I’m from Baltimore, Md, am an engineer, and currently live in a small Indiana town with a population of less than 1300, and think that wine is for panzies, the good stuff comes from the hills in a mason jar. I moved to get away from the problem, looks like you moved closer to the source of the problems.
gotta call it a day and get ready for tomorrow, nice bickering with you, have a good one.

Dodd, huh?

Chris Dodd is a mere 6 and a half years McCain’s junior… little more than a single Senate term.  Dodd, who served 2 years in the Peace Crops and in the Army National Guard, can’t hold a candle to McCain in term of his sacrifices for his country.  Dodd’s father, also a US Senator, was censured by the full Senate for converting campaign funds to private use.  It has also been discovered that in authoring the Gun Control Act of 1968, Senator Thomas Dodd, a former lobbyist for one-time Guatemalan dictator Carlos Armas, made liberal use of the similar legislation enacted prior to WWII by the Nazi Germany.

Now, if people believe he thinks it’s 57 states, then the people who voted for Bush because he wasn’t so educated should vote for Obama then.

That even his campaign staff said he was tired an made a mistake is apparently irrelevant. The Obamorons have decided it was a joke, and like Obama issues...the facts are irrelevant.


The equivalence of Che Guevara and Adolph Hitler is a valid one. And in many ways Che was a worse monster. While Hitler sat back and let underlings do his dirty work, Che did much of the killing himself and personally trained the execution squads who did the rest. He personally murdered political opponents, whereas Hitler outsourced that duty.

When we look at the “socialist paradise” that is Cuba, we must remember that a sizable share of the misery those people suffer is directly attributable to Che Guevara bringing Castro into power, and giving him many of the policies that have caused so much pain. The real symbol of Che should be the raft, to remind us of all those who have died on rafts in the ocean trying to escape the Cuban nightmare and get to freedom. And had he not been killed, begging for his life like a coward, he would’ve done the same thing again and again in countries all throughout Latin and South America. His actions have inspired terrorists across a continent and caused countless deaths.

Every leftist who celebrates Che is celebrating a murderer, a monster, and a Marxist who is directly and indirectly responsible for wide spread murder, starvation and fascist states. They may as well worship Hitler, because the two men shared not only an ideology, but results. And Che never got the trains to run on time.
