Is anyone else getting really scared?

"Not Congress, not the House, not the President. Those of you who think that we are going to go to he** in a handbag if the Republicans win or the Democrats are just amusing to me. They are both in bed with the Corp. that helped sponsor their campaign. And even if the "other" side wins if the Corporation is large/powerful enough they can still have the same ultimate affect. So either one is a lose/lose proposition."

I agree. It's been fun listening to my truck-driving Republican friends bemoan gas prices, after electing a President who very well may have been bottle fed on light sweet crude. It's been fun listening to my friend who owns a small business and thought voting Republican would help his business. He has found out that Republicans are pro-corporation, not pro-small business. He didn't have one thing change when Republicans took office. If anything, big businesses got the advantage to try and crush his small business. It's also been fun listening to my grandparents, who think they are somehow Republicans on Medicare (? how does that work) watch their benefits dwindle. Duh. And my grandfather, who is a veteran, watch his VA benefits withering away.

I am not pro-Obama and won't vote for him either (sorry, I'm going to vote for Bob Barr, Libertarian party) - but it has been an interesting 7+ years listening to Republicans finding out that the their party does not support them in any way, shape, or form.

As an aside, I have ties to militias. I grew up and went to school with the guys that formed a militia and ended up being the Four Corners Killers, and my dumb redneck cousins are wannabe militants (I'm sure there's an ATF file a mile long on those dummies). As well, my best girl friend is from Kenya and her dad is Muslim. And my best guy friend is from India which is RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO PAKISTAN. Does that make me a secret militant muslim hindi maybe sihk al-paca, too?

(there's a little joke in there, see if you can find it)

A Republican did warn us of this, here is a site that has the collection of videos I am impressed with: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/09/30/who-predicted-u-s-economic-collapse-one-year-ago.aspx?source=nl

HenSpa it is a fact that the LACK of auditing/regulating the past few years is the root of the problem not the program itself. Who is to blame for that? I find the finger pointing exceedingly juvenile. They both had their parts to play. Or to the Democrats really have THAT much power, that they could accomplish this ALL by themselves. If they do have that much power why haven't they made themselves Gods/Kings yet? Please keep it REAL.

ETA: Fearmongering is what they do best - do NOT give in!

Hey, beardedchick, it would be fun to start a new thread where each of us detailed all of our unsavory connections. If I listed my family members alone my name could be blackened!

I was worried a few weeks ago. I have nothing to worry about now, I have 9 cords of wood, a full pantry, no money in the market, and my house is paid off. Not to mention I have a bunch of bees and chickens...

I didn't send the rest of the excerpt since it was so long to do all at once. Here's the rest below. But to answer your question with a question: after 9/11, it doesn't concern you, the Middle Eastern link here? These countries are known for hating America. The "known" terrorist I'm talking about isn't even listed here. He's another friend of Obama's: Ayers.

** (Obama excerpt continued; see first part in earlier post of thread)
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was
Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not
make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was
Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran ! Do we see a pattern here?
Or am I going crazy?

On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley, advisor to
Obama, was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular
contacts with 'Hamas', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran ..
This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers
reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do
nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care
of things'.

Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where
born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet
campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The
poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle
East ?

And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington
Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George
Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim
faith'. When questioned, 'he made a mistake'. Some mistake!

All of the above information I got on line. If you would like
to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie
Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington
Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008."

Actually, It WAS Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933(during the great depression).

 

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

The Ayers connection is just SO overplayed!!!

You wanna really go for it, let's talk about the Bush - bin Laden connection that goes WAY back and is SO much better documented.
