I barely know where to start with you other than to say as opposed to McCain followers who are being whipped up by fear and hate which is exactly what Hitler did? But frankly I don't want to go there because I despise the Hitler argument. Anytime a side is losing that has become the dark horse, non sequitur fall back argument. In fact there is even a name for this time of argumentation on the net but I can't recall at atm. Maybe someone else will.
The truth needed to be said. The behavior of so many Obama supporters disturbingly resembles that of the followers of the various totalitarian dictators in the 1920's and 30's.

If the Republicans raised or spent that much it would be taken to the supreme court! There is not much to choose from in this election but I don't care for that hypocrite either. I didn't watch the high priced infomercial.
Did you know that the rich went from
$300,000 to
$250,000 to
$200,000 to
$150,000
with the OB campaign?

So now Biden said that those earning $150,000 and below should not have tax cuts.

Watch out!!!!

It was excellent. Those of you who can only criticize have hardened hearts. Here is a man who is positive and wanting to help everyone, yes, even you, and you don't even realize it. You would rather have a President who is full of negativity instead of a President who is positive and has hope for the future.

I think it was done in a very effective way. I appreciate the fact that he did not, once, resort to any negative bashing, which McCain / Palin do all too well. People have been saying for months and months how we don't know Obama,and how they would love the chance to learn more about him.Well, I think tonight gave us some pretty good insight.

This is a man that no matter what others have thrown at him, he has kept his cool.I don't think that makes him arrogant, I think that makes him calm in the face of adversity, which is what a leader should be. Not a man who gets flustered easily and then resorts to lies and name calling to try and get his way.

I could go on and on, but I won't.Instead I'll just say, I'll be really glad when this election is over, so maybe we can start healing and working towards fixing some of these problems.

I'm so glad I didn't waste my time watching Obama's infomercial ......Monsterquest on the History channel was much more educational and entertaining!

I don't want an empty suited big-government lover running on charisma and a cult of personality to be president.

Uh, sorry, but I AM a low-income American and had to learn how to live on little income when I became disabled. This is why I really can't understand how, when our nation is seriously in debt, an Obama would be proposing dozens of new programs, penalizing those who create jobs, and giving out checks instead of getting our debt and budgets under control.

It tells me he isn't a Christian or anything the Worships God. Has he even gone to church since he left that Church?
