jwcolour Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 She or anybody would never do it in NY because its not a battleground state. And in anycase, I really wish it wasn't obama going up against McCain and rather Clinton. Atleast either way I'd feel that there was someone competent going into office instead of an inexperience Senator with fishy connections to a terrorist and the whole ACORN project. Which he blatently lied about having any connection to whatsoever when he was their lawyer for a case and gave them somewhere around $600,000. Also Joe Biden might just be more retarded than Bush. As an independant voter I'm not a right wing nut but as much "propaganda" happens on the right there is atleast as much if not more on the left. I'm going to be voting for McCain. If Clinton were in the running my vote might be a different story. Also i'm a recent college grad so I fall right in the demographic that Obama is trying to capture, and talking to some of my friends a lot of them don't have any clue as to why they are voting Democrat, It seems as if its just the Trendy thing to do and they believe all they hear on MSNBC.

ROC Sabres Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 you should all enjoy it while you can... if the Socialist Obama gets elected it won't be long before you watch your freedoms go out the window. From my college magazine about a the wonderful Republican National Convention in Minnesota. Good read actually so take the time to do it. Early morning raids executed 48 hours before the convention led to the arrest of eight RNC Welcoming Committee members, a group whose anti-establishment mission statement was to protest the RNC. The eight were officially charged with conspiracy to riot in furtherance of terrorism. These charges were filed under Minnesota’s version of the PATRIOT Act, passed in 2002. Notably, this arrest marked the first time anyone had been charged under this legislation. Allegedly, the RNC Welcoming Committee planned to use fire bombs and other explosives to disrupt the convention, as well as kidnap persons of interest. These claims were all based on the testimony of a police informant who infiltrated the RNC Welcoming Committee. Warrants in hand, riot-geared police raided the homes and arrested the suspects. However, after the invasion, not a shred of evidence was found to support the claims. Sound familiar? The eight were charged as terrorists with no physical evidence supporting a ‘terrorist attack,’ no previous history of violence, and no connection whatsoever to any terrorist organization. The only thing they were ‘guilty’ of was planning a protest. “These charges are an effort to equate publicly-stated plans to blockade traffic and disrupt the RNC as being the same as acts of terrorism. This both trivializes real violence and attempts to place the stated political views of the Defendants on trial,” said Bruce Nestor, Presidentof the Minnesota Chapter of the National Lawyers Guild. The house raids were not the only instance of “overzealous” police work in St. Paul. Amy Goodman, a syndicated columnist and broadcast journalist for Pacifica Radio’s Democracy Now!, was arrested along with her colleges. They were reporting on the protests occurring outside of the RNC. Police ignored their press credentials and violently subdued them despite one exclaiming, “I am press, I am press!” as she was handcuffed. Videos of the arrest on YouTube are rather damning evidence to the police’s total disregard for freedom of the press. How can this be America? There are citizens arrested for expressing their views and othersarrested for reporting them. If we take a step back and look at the sum total of events that occurred at the RNC, we are presented with a nightmarish picture. Something that seems more likely to occur in one of the cruel dictatorships against which America normally stands. True, we don’t have secret police abducting people in the night or books being burned in town squares, but when does ‘overzealous’ police work become oppression? Most terrifyingly, it seems that contempt for civil rights extends to all levels of government, not just the police in St. Paul, Minnesota. As part of her acceptance speech, Sarah Palin proclaimed, “Al-Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America and [barack Obama] is worried that someone won’t read them their rights.” We, as a nation, have become crazed by our crusade against terrorism. We are assured that search without warrant and arrest without charge is a necessity of the times. At the RNC, a terrorist was defined as a person with political views that differed from the majority. How will terrorism be defined tomorrow? Kinda like the freedoms we already don't have you mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'm afraid of losing my freedoms. <_< I don't think Obama will take away freedoms, that won't happen (other than tighter gun control which is already as tight as possible in NY), but also George Bush hasn't taken away any of your freedoms either. I live in no fear that my phones have been tapped and that FBI/CIA are watching my bank accounts. You people that think the government watches everyones everything because of the patriot act are insane. Why does everyone think Washington gives a #%^$#! about what they do? Unless you are buying large amounts of Fertilizer, sending your money to Iranian banks, or planning vacations to the mountains of pakistan, you are paranoid.

inkman Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Senator with fishy connections to a terrorist and the whole ACORN project. In the 1960s, Ayers was a founding member of the radical Weather Underground group that carried out a string of bombings of federal buildings, including the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol, in protest against the Vietnam War. The now-defunct group was labeled a "domestic terrorist group" by the FBI, and Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn ? also a Weather Underground member ? spent 10 years as fugitives in the 1970s. Federal charges against them were dropped due to FBI misconduct in gathering evidence against them, and they resurfaced in 1980. Both Ayers and Dohrn ultimately became university professors in Chicago, with Ayers, 63, now an education professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Obama's Chicago home is in the same neighborhood where Ayers and Dohrn live. Beginning in 1995, Ayers and Obama worked with the non-profit Chicago Annenberg Challenge on a huge school improvement project. The Annenberg Challenge was for cities to compete for $50 million grants to improve public education. Ayers fought to bring the grant to Chicago, and Obama was recruited onto the board. Also from 1999 through 2001 both were board members on the Woods Fund, a charitable foundation that gave money to various causes, including the Trinity United Church that Obama attended and Northwestern University Law Schools' Children and Family Justice Center, where Dohrn worked. Those fishy ties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, our country is in tense times and with volatile times it makes the election more volatile for people. I knew when I saw your post what was going to happen and it did. I was in class last night and the same thing happened. The discussion (in an elementary teaching diversity class) turned to the election somehow and everyone gets all fired up. It's just going to happen until Novemeber anytime the topic is approached. I also agree for Pete's sake it's opening night!!! Go Sabres! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I steer clear of discussing politics as much as possible. If you're a Rep. Obama will ruin this country. If you're a Dem. McCain is the worst thing the county can do. Plain and simple. There are few Ind. thinkers that look at both sides and vote on that account. The point is, I would argue many younger voters have no idea what either canidate stand for. Which leads them to vote for "Obama" because it's a treandier vote. Likewise, there are voters who vote for McCain who have no idea what he stands for only that he's Rep. It's a moot point all the way around. The argumetns go round and round with no headway being made. The only advice I can give to someone is know WHY you want to vote for someone over the other, not because it's the "hip" thing to do. THAT is what will lead us to disaster. Regardless of who you are voting for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
