If he does so without raising your taxes and without invading your privacy will you vote for his re-election in 2012 or would you vote against him based on party line ideology?
If he were to increase personal freedoms, hand out free guns, cut unemployment to zero, balance the budget, and give us all a free everlasting gobstoppers I could still not vote for him as long as he supports and funds abortion.

I realize it is legal. If a woman chooses to do so, she should at least recognize that she is taking a life. Secondly, she better damn well pay for it herself. It is not a medical procedure. The only exception I could see is if somebody was raped and could not otherwise afford it. Short of that, the government has as much business in the abortion business as it does in the medical marijuana business.

In fairness, while I could not vote for him, assuming he did do all those other fantastic things, I might not vote against him, which is the best I can do without compromising my ideals.

If he does well, I will love the man. Obama is not the problem. Some of his bigoted minions are the problem (not talking about you, everyone knows who they are!)

So far he appears to be following in Clinton's footsteps, but it's awful early to try to gage what will come to be over the next two years. Just think for a minute how different GWB's presidency would have been without 9/11. What happens early on may have little bearing on the big picture later on. I'm guessing he'll end up being something of a Carter/Clinton hybrid without the executive experience making a number of catastrophic blunders that cause America to collectively ask themselves what we could have possibly been thinking about. But, if it brings about a second Republican Revolution, it could possibly all be worth it in the end. On a personal level, I just don't trust him. He has a face for every occasion. He attends Christian church services regularly and will likely go down in history as the abortion president. So which is it?

This is not about hate...it is about who is right for our country or who is not.

Yes some hate...but I don't hate Obama I just hate his views!

Wow I wish more people on this sight were like you! You said it all!

He claims to be something he is not, he has very little experience, and some of the firth things he did in office were sign for our tax money to go towards abortion in foreign countries, and realese terrorist into our back yards (hopefully you know what I mean by "back yards" b/c some on here did not).

He will not change this world and I will put none of my trust in him! Plain and simple!

Default What if Obama is successful?

I hope he is, If so he will go down in history as a great President, he has a tough job ahead of him. Although I don't see how his stimulus package can turn things around I wont bash him because I'm sure he has plenty of advisors who know more than myself.

I hope Obama will be succesful in not pushing his campaign promisses forward but the ones McCain had...I agree with Rush and Obama will be succesful proving he is a weak loser.

Well who could possibly dispute you and Rush?



After all, the two of you have a long record of being right on everything political. Do you recall being a big Hillary backer a few months ago? And all the nasty things Obama had done that would keep him from winning the nomination? How you and Rush said that Operation Chaos would give the nomination to Hill? Remember how you said that all those terrible scandals Obama was invloved in would send McCain on to victory? You know - the nasty things his former preacher said. And the rotten financial deals one of his former supporters was involved in.

And now, heck - he can't even decide what kind of a dog to get for his little girls! What kind of a president is that?

No sir...

I'm not gonna say a thing to contradict your (and Limbaugh's) bold talk. I know political genius when I see it.
