There are a couple of old Jews in Florida that like Obama. One of them is named "Art" in this Daily Show Clip:

The older people are wiser and have the wisdom to see what this man is all about.

The younger kids have no common sense, love his handouts and just plain are to stupid as that age to know better.

The others are just stuck in the middle because I can not think of one reason to vote for Obama other then his empty promises that he cannot keep or his promises to give losers more handouts.

I cannot think of one good reason to vote for him, not one.

Even Gore, Kerry and Dukakis had more skills and knowledge then him.

Tell ya the truth, Normie, considering the horrible Bailout/Welfare check our government just handed the wealthiest crookedest people in this country...the election is pretty "funny" lightweight material.
Of course, I still don't want the continuation of a dictatorship in the form of the Palin/McCain ticket but can ANYONE save this country from what's ahead??

Makes me glad I AM old and hopefully won't see the worst.

OK, light stuff from now on....

I think that you don't understand what dictatorship means otherwise you would not say the above Or you are confused and was really thinkning about
Obama who made up his
"own presidential seal"
Has his own logo that is on everything
speaks of world order
wants to put everyone on the government tit
and to control everything in this country
Set up his own private army much like the Hitler SS group.
He will probably have statues erected of him one day because of all the great things he has done in his own mind.

For some scholars define dictatorship is a form of government that has the power to govern without consent of those being governed, while others describes a state that regulates nearly every aspect of public and private behavior of the people.

Here are some dictators to help out:
Adolf Hitler -- Germany 1933 - 1945
Fidel Castro -- Cuba 1959 - 2008
Saddam Hussein -- Iraq 1979 - 2003
Pervez Musharraf -- Pakistan 1998-2008
Joseph Stalin -- USSR 1924 - 1953

WELL THEN DON'T VOTE FOR HIM. IT'S CALLED A DEMOCRACY (ALTHOUGH LOOSELY) FOR A REASON!!!!!!

My problem is you trying to shove down my throat a reason for voting for McCain and that dimwit soon to be President Palin. I can think of no reason for me to want more of what I have seen these last 8 years. So now that we agree that we can not think of a single reason to vote for the other one's choice, STHU. I fail to understand why people feel the need to convince others why they are wrong for wanting to vote the way they want to vote. I have never asked anyone to change their vote. Instead, I choose to voice why I feel the way I do about my candidate and their candidate but I have never gone on a litany like the pompous folks here to show why that person's idea is wrong and stupid and why their idea is superior. If you're such a genuis, please point us to the Nobel Prize and peer review studies you are leading on the economic and political issues facing our country.

There's NO comparison between Obama and the last 8 years of PROVEN dictatorship...Bushy even approved of a dictatorship by saying it was fine as long as it was he was the dictator. He and his administration have done more to form a dictatorship than creating a symbol. (oh,BTW, symbols don't scare ME, I'M not a Fascist).

An example:
Henry Paulsen, a BUSH appointee, wanted us to hand him 700 billion dollars with no oversight, no laws governing it's disposal, no transparency, no accountability(just like the money for Iraq)....he just wanted the money to do whatever he wanted....is THAT not a dictatorship?

Bush stated that the Constitution was just ""%$#@!*^@! piece of paper"...is that not a sign of a dictator?

I'm sure with more googling I can come up with many more examples but as far as "dictatorship goes....the bush administration wins hands down and McCain /Palin is a continuation of the same....notice how palin wanted the powers of the VP INCREASED!!!!!!!

Watching this video of these old nincompoops I only had one thought running through my mind:

THANK GOD Hillary was not our nominee. THANK YOU sweet baby Jesus.

As a Democrat, I couldn't bear the thought of voting for her in Nov, considering many of her supporters are very much like the people in this video.

The Constitution hasn’t meant very much to Bush and Cheney so he may as well have an unconstitutional 3rd term on the house.

The sad thing about Bush is that he still doesn’t have a clue why his free-wheeling global policing policies sent our economy down the tubes.
