LOL. They have a low approval rating because they did nothing they hinted at doing when they won the slight majority in 2006. Not only did they not do what they promised, they didn't stand up to Bush and Republicans and even took charge to lead the way since Bush was too slow. They have failed. I cannot understand why any Democrats still support Nancy and Harry at all.

Ok. Fair enough - let's talk.
  • Healthcare - It is available for all. Get sick, go to a hospital & get care.
  • Abortion - yes, Republicans don't want innocent babies killed. Obama supports late term abortion - including when the baby's head is still in the birth canal & the practioner shovel scissors in the base of the baby's skull to kill the impending child.
  • Gay rights - You can be gay if you want to. Both my cousin & Aunt are gay & have very fufilling lives.
  • War - if we didn't go, how many American lives would be lost? Do I wish we could have avoided it? Yes. Do I wish we could get back every member of the troops who has been killed? Yes. Do I wish the families of the 9/11 victims could have their loved ones back? Yes. We would have to go at some point & this is a very hard issue.
  • Energy - Obama doesn't want to drill. McCain does. Drilling here is the best way to become independent. McCain is right on this issue. Obama is too inexperienced.

The bottom line is Pelosi & Reid failed us all with or without Bush. The Dems failed.

The America our great grandparents and grandparents built for us will be tossed away if Obama wins tomorrow.

Our freedoms will be gone from radical left wing ideals such as gay marriage, bans on our rights to have guns, freedom of speech etc will all be tossed under a liberal President and two left wing nuts in the senate and house.

Then we have to deal with the worst generation of our history ( those born from 1980-1990 ) will further destroy everything those generations worked hard for.

It will take years to fix the disaster that we will be facing with this very poor decision to choose this man our President.

We all think the Iraq War was the worst decision in our lifetimes, well it will not be. Electing Obama will be the worst decision our country can ever make. We will pay for this terrible decision from day one and for many years to come.

It will be the end of America as we know it Barack Obama wins this election.

I am hopeful the American people are not that stupid to allow this to happen to us.

Really? How many times was that used? Not threatened, but used? And who pushed the bailout legislation?
