Is this what our country has come to?


Posted: Oct 27, 2010

It's politics people.  Someone's going to lose.  There are millions of people in the country who vote.  Every one of their vote is important whether or not they vote democrat, republican, or a different party.  Each election seems to get worse and worse.  The problem here is that this is the first time since any of us has ever seen, that the people are finally standing up and exercising their rights.  They want their voices heard and rightly so.  Our country is heading in a direction that we don't want.  So now the democrats are losing and they are in a panic.  They put out attack ads, yet never talk about their accomplishments.  But then again how can you talk about your accomplishments when you don't have any.  So instead they stoop and attack people's religion and childhoods.  But that's not even as low as it gets.  Some instances are:

1.  In Nevada Diebold machines have been set up to cast your vote for the democrat whether or not you vote for him. 

2.  In SC again the Diebold machines are set up to choose the democrat whether or not you vote for them.  One woman stated she voted for a republican and the democrats name was checked.

3.  In Florida the Dayton commisioner is arrested for ballot fraud.

4.  The techs hired to service the machine are from SEIU.

5.  Then you have people offered free ice cream to vote democrat

6.  In another state they are allowing people who are not citizens to vote.

7.  They tried to not allow the military's vote to count (majority of military vote republican).

8.  The CT democrat tried to have anyone who wears a WWW t-shirt to the voting polls banned from voting.

Each day another news story comes out about the democrats cheating to win.  They know they won't win on their own merit, so they lie, steal, cheat, and bribe to be placed in their position.  They speak as though the seats "belong" to them.

They once said that when republicans were in office the people of the country spoke loud and clear that they wanted a change when they voted in the democrats fairly.  Now the people are speaking once more this election that we want a change and we want republicans in office and we want to fire the democrats that are not working for us and have brought the country to where it (unemployment, housing crisis, outrageous spending, etc), but that's not good enough.  They now don't care what the people of the country want.  Instead they call us stupid, a piece of furniture and according to John Kerry we don't even know what we are doing when we vote.  Hence I guess according to him citizens should not be allowed to vote anymore and the democrats should just reign over the country for eternity.

 

Cmon people, its an election.  When one party doesn't work and are not doing their jobs and are incompetent then we have election time and we get to choose once again who we feel would best represent us.  Since the democrats are not doing a good job, let the republicans in.  In 2 years there will be another election and we all will have another chance to vote. 

 

People need to stop being so hateful towards others - like Joy Behr who called the republican congresswoman a "B" and that she'd send her to hell and went on a complete rage.  Which hopefully will benefit the Nevada congresswoman.

Seek out truth. Ignore the spin, lies, smear tactics, and name calling. Then vote with your conscience, values, and the facts guiding you.

Just a thought - Obama needs to quit with the blaming Bush/Repubs for "driving the economy into the ditch". That routine is getting really old. Democrats were in control of house/senate even two years before Obama showed up and still are. So it's time for them to accept some responsibility for what they've done to our country, especially in the last two years. JMHO.

Amen - name calling

First you say: "Seek out truth. Ignore the spin, lies, smear tactics, and name calling. Then vote with your conscience, values, and the facts guiding you."

Then you go on and smear Obama and the democrats. LOL JMHO





She didn't smear Obama and the democrats - Do you even know what that means?

Her words were:

"Obama needs to quit with the blaming Bush/Repubs for "driving the economy into the ditch". That routine is getting really old. Democrats were in control of house/senate even two years before Obama showed up and still are. So it's time for them to accept some responsibility for what they've done to our country, especially in the last two years. JMHO."

That is not a smear. She just stated the facts. A smear is "a usually unsubstantiated charge or accusation against a person or organization - often used attributively (a smear campaign)".

Since 1.) Obama HAS been blaming Bush/Repubs for "driving the economy into the ditch". 2.) That routine IS getting really old. 3.) The democrats WERE in control of house/senate even two years before Obama showed up and still are., and 4.) It IS time for them to accept some responsibility for what they've done to our country, especially in the last two years.

That is not a smear against Obama and the democrats but rather a statement of facts. You cannot argue with the facts.

Time to get a new line.

Just when I thought the 'pubs - didn't have a sense of humor

The radical conservatives slept through the Bush years and only woke up when Obama was elected. But in their sleep, they heard things. And when they awoke, they parrotted those things that they had heard. Not correctly, but what do parrots know? The left objected to loss of our civil rights through the wiretapping and data ...

Why do so many people keep taking about Communism and Socialism. What are they? I say it's their ideology. They both (socialism and communism) pretty much try to control you, and the bigger they are, the more power they are. It's partly about greed and control. The "left" confuse us and make us think Capitalism is greediness, but Capitalism is the free market, free enterprise. Without it no-one will have jobs, and especially there will be no competition, doing away with competitiv ...

We're in trouble because democracy absolutely depends on an electorate that is sufficiently well educated to be able to assess the claims of candidates, to reject the falsehoods and misinformation that political campaigns, their supporters and the press spew into the atmosphere, darkening the sky in an effort to hide the truth from the light of day, and having the ability and the intellectual honesty to objectively judge the character of those who aspire to political office. Democracy is f ...

What happened to the America that used to be able to accomplish things beyond our expectations. Here are some of the ones I woul ...
