Biden - Palin Debate, Anyone watch it?

[BamaChicken]

Listen, I don't usually say anything in regards to this subject but I am so sick and tired of the Politicians. What ever happened to they type of men that started this country and pledged to give their life and all their worldly goods for freedom. We have come a long way baby. They fought for freedom from taxation. The right for every man to have an opportunity to have the pursuit of happiness.
All we have now is completely opposite. You can't believe anyone who runs. They are all corrupt and don't mind corruption when it suits their pocketbooks and purposes. When they began to tax personal properties in the early 1900's people lost their inherited homes because they couldn't afford the taxes on them. We are now taxed on our tax. Everytime you can your tax refund if you get one that was already taxed you get taxed again in alot states. Every time they send money for stimulus you get taxed the next year on it. Their is absolutely no common sense or Honor left in Washington. I believe what John Mccain said when he Said " we came to change Washington and it has changed us".
I am glad to see a breath of fresh air in Sarah Palin who only made with her husband less than 200,000 last year. I believe what we need in Washington is someone who is Honest and has Honor and intregrity. This is my humble opinion and I know these days I am problably in the minority on my way of thinking but it is a sad state this country is in and a house divided cannot stand. I feel our country if very divided and we need lots of change in character if we have a hope of surviving. We are a very young country compared to most of the world and well I better not give history report on what could happen.

No....not isolationism....PROTECTIONISM.

How much have we done for ALL of them............and what is our reward. They don't particluarly care for us either. Would they defend us? No. I doubt it. Perhaps the UK.

Maybe......just Maybe if we pull out of the Middle East...they will leave us alone. They need our devalued dollar for their oil........and they DO want us to buy it. Otherwise they're back in the Stone Age.

NATO.....what have they done for us? Germany and France can't stand us. They are liberal and let the Muslims in........let them do that........they crucify us for warning them.

China manufactures goods.........now that we don't. We are THEIR consumers. How far can they grow with global recession/depression. They need us ( and our credit to them to buy their stuff ).

We Really Don't Need Them.

Don't know about N. Korea. Maybe they would argue and threaten some other nation. I can't say.........they are a wild card.

Africa .......it's sad. But, we can't save em'

We need to save ourselves here. We have people who need help. The ones who don't here will have to get a life.

We Need a Healing from all of this. To Re Group. How can we help anyone when our government has sold us out to the highest bidder.

I say this..........thank God for the NRA.....if need be....if absolutely necessary......WE are a mobile army.

God Help Us All.

mom'sfolly :

Nope, I'm not voting for a duck, I've voting for Big Buff....or Suede. Who needs a duck when there are Buff Orpingtons out there.

Hugo can be vice president!

He said he will agree to be vice president if he gets a pond and if he gets to chew on peoples' legs. But he would really rather be top dog...err duck.​

Talk to people in the military that have been to Iraq. I have a friend that did 3 tours. There is no way we can win! Staying in Iraq is just going to get more of our troops killed and cause more hatred toward us from middle eastern countries.

Wow Mtn, I can't disagree on a lot of your points. Yeah, most of those countries wouldn't
back us. I still go back to my original point that if we don't keep the peace no one will.
I know all the libs are reading this and saying we are the supreme evil and we cause
everything bad in the world.

If we step back there is no one else who will step in. Before long there will be just
a few countries or unions, must like the Soviet Union. China would own Asia. Iran
could potentially own the middle east. Europe already is just one country. None
of these have the Constititution we have that was so well written by people over
200 years ago who seemed to know the future. This is a picture that scares me.

I'm all for the NRA & the Second Ammendment but rifles don't do much against nukes
and can't fuel our economy.

Maybe in the future some great leader can create a new UN that actually does what it
is supposed to and frees up the U.S. to worry more about itself.

With all that said even if we did cut our military that money would never go into
the U.S.. Our politicians would find some way of squandering it.

I have talked and listened to a lot of them. The vast majority are very positive. Obviously
the person you talked to felt differently.

Oh, by the way, we already won. Sadaam is dead. Mission Accomplished.

If the mission is accomplished why are we still there?

Well, there ya go. See.....I thought we went in for WMD......not particularyly Saddam....bustard that he was. He's replicated all over the world.

Oh.... Obama? Well he grew up in Southside Chicago Politics........yep. Well, that was about 60 miles from where I lived till a year ago.......Scary.

Not the Quran lies.......or the other lies. Just the South Side of Chicago...enuf to make me wonder.

I won't vote McCain......don't want to waste more lives there.....I am pro life.......took on new meaning for me these days.

Guess I'm votin' fer the Duck!!!

Keeping the peace and helping a new government get control. Not to mention training
400,000 troops, fighting Al qaeda cells, monitoring their borders, and making a pretty
hard statement to Iran.
