He is very sharp, thinks things through, does not instantly go with someone just because one's party affiliation.
so is my stepmom and so was my dad until he had a stroke at 92. This doesn't prove anything except we all have our opinions. I am sure your dad has reasons for his and I am sure those on the other side do as well.
Sadly, it would appear that the 82 yr. old lady cited by the OP is showing signs of senile dementia or she was never very informed to begin with; bless her little heart.
The Obama machine is no different than the Clinton machine except for the Chicago thug tactics behind it. Both the Clinton and Obama-Chicago machines are funded and steered by the former nazi sympathizer George Soros.
I'll agree that November 2nd is huge. It is time to FLIP THIS HOUSE and SENATE!
My aunt lived through the Great Depression and is a lifelong Democrat.
She said she's heard this before..empty promises and growing debt and it didn't turn out too well the first time.
I am glad my father is alive and well, very well on Medicare and VA Services. He too is a WWII veteran and sees the corporatism of the GOP as exactly what he fought against.
if that is what he thinks he was fighting against when he was a teen ager, I am amazed. Repulican or GOP, Conservative, what ever you want to call it, had nothing to do with WW2. As my husband just said and if my dad, who was a naval officer in the same war, what he would say: your comments are completely out of line and a complete insult to honest Americans, whether Republicans or Democrats.
One 82-year-old lady loves Obama and she may have a very good point.
She says that Obama is amazing, and is rebuilding the American dream!
She gives us an entirely new slant on the "amazing" job Obama is doing, and she says that she will thank God for the President. Keep reading for her additional comments and an explanation.
When discussing Obama, she says:
1. Obama destroyed the Clinton Political Machine, driving a stake through the heart of Hillary's presidential aspirations - something no Republican was ever able to do.
2. Obama killed off the Kennedy Dynasty - no more Kennedys trolling Washington looking for booze and women wanting rides home.
3. Obama is destroying the Democratic Party before our eyes! Dennis Moore had never lost a race. Evan Bayh had never lost a race. Byron Dorgan had never lost a race. Harry Reid - soon to be GONE! These are just a handful of the Democrats whose political careers Obama has destroyed. By the end of 2010, dozens more will be gone. Just think, in December of 2008 the Democrats were on the rise. In the last two election cycles, they had picked up 14 Senate seats and 52 House seats.
The press was touting the death of the Conservative Movement and the Republican Party. However, in just one year, Obama put a stop to all of this and will probably give the House - if not the Senate - back to the Republicans.
4. Obama has completely exposed liberals and progressives for what they are. Sadly, every generation seems to need to re-learn the lesson on why they should never actually put liberals in charge. Obama is bringing home the lesson very well:
Liberals tax, borrow and spend.
Liberals won't bring themselves to protect America .
Liberals want to take over the economy.
Liberals think they know what is best for everyone.
Liberals are not happy until they are running YOUR life.
5. Obama has brought more Americans back to conservatism than anyone since Reagan. In one year, he has rejuvenated the Conservative Movement and brought out to the streets millions of freedom loving Americans.
Name one other time when you saw your friends and neighbors this interested in taking back America !
6. Obama, with his "amazing leadership," has sparked the greatest period of sales of firearms and ammunition this country has seen. Law abiding citizens have rallied and have provided a "stimulus" to the sporting goods field while other industries have failed, faded, or moved off-shore.
7. In all honesty, one year ago I was more afraid than I have been in my life. Not afraid of the economy, but afraid of the direction our country was going. I thought, Americans have forgotten what this country is all about. My neighbors and friends, even strangers, have proved to me that my lack of confidence in the greatness and wisdom of the American people has been flat wrong.
8. When the American people wake up, no smooth talking teleprompter reader can fool them! Barack Obama has served to wake up these great Americans!
Again, I want to say: "Thank you, Barack Obama!" After all, this is
exactly the kind of hope and change we desperately needed!!
November 2nd is HUGE!!!!
I guess we can say that Alzheimer's is definately a terrible disease.
Yep. The Reagan Myth gives me a major headache. "Government IS the problem!" I still remember him saying that....then he commenced to growing government and spending us into oblivion.
This 82 year old punk sounds like how Sarah Palin will be when she is old- none the wiser!
yep.. dont agree with someone having a different opinion than you, expressing that opinion.. you are a punk and stupid... Lets not even discuss the "I hate Palin" dig which no one cares....

It's also interesting when the old people from Communists countries say they are seeing things happen here now they watched when they were young in their country before the Communists took them over.

Scary times we live in.
I've heard that as well.
We seem to be ignoring our elders.
History may well repeat itself because we think we can build a better mousetrap.
