When CNN does a segment on Apalachicola Bay, Florida and how Obama's promised to release river water from big cities into that bay so oyster fishermen will do better, is that a campaign ad? In a full ad-to-ad segment, they interviewed a couple of fishermen who said "this is politics, what's he care about us?" They interviewed others who say they're considering voting for Obama because he's addressing this. McCain has made no comment on this bay because he probably realizes idle promises aren't easily kept and it's unfair to build up the hopes of these fishermen, but one fisherman said he thought Obama really cares about them and he might be voting for him for that. Is that an ad? Shouldn't Obama pay for that?
Brad Miller (D-NC) is a big Obama supporter and admonishing America to not be angry or bitter. He feels that bringing up Obama's horrid alliances througout the last twenty years and the groups he's worked for, etc., is just "appealing to FEAR". Mr. Miller has every right to represent his guy on CNN (their guy, I guess I'd have to say), but are we really supposed to shut up and realize socialism is wonderful and ignore the fact that bad choices in friends and business colleagues over the years just might make this guy a bad choice for us? Should we just go quietly? z

z, dearest, relax. You've got eight years of Obama to look forward to and I'm really afraid you're going to pop a vessel.
I had to pace myself through the dark ages of the Bush years and you really want to lower the volume in the first few years, trust me.
It's not up to the President to release more water out of the Georgia watersheds. That's all tangled up in the courts. Obama is just making promises he knows he won't have to keep to get votes.
I can just hear the squalls in Atlanta now if that were to happen.
Ducky's here said...

If I have to take 8 years of him, I'll pop a vessel as well
I'm not popping vessels, Ducky....I just never thought I'd see Americans like you decide freebies were better than self reliance. And applauding illegally gained funding and newspapers which won't release videos of their messiah because it might make him look bad.
Have you heard of the Stassi? I never thought we'd be this close. Thanks.
hermit..all I can hope for is what even some of my liberal friends who are NOT voting for Obama are saying "Wait till the fit hits the shan and the truth that he can't do ANY Of it comes out" you're right.
my files, thanks for coming by. And you are SO RIGHT.

I fear nothing but the unknown. Since I know what Obama is going to do it does not make me afraid, just pretty damned concerned.
But no we should not go quietly. If he wins, it will not quiet any of his critics, nor will there be any unity. As we have said before, the pendulum swings back hard. Once Americans do come to their senses and realize this guy is lying his tail off to get into power, it will be over for Democrats for twenty years.
Make no mistake, the people will wake up to him. But the question is will they do it the hard way, by suffering through four years of the damage, or the easy way by not voting him in to begin with?
Stay with it Duck, eventually even you might actually believe he will get another term.
Z, you wonder why he would do any advertising at all with the coverage he gets. Chris Matthews alone, with his little gay crush, promotes him enough.
True, LA Sunset. But another thing to add here that may not have been involved in past pendulum swings is the radical Islam factor. It may be too late to "wake up" to him if he & the thugs behind him enter office. Thank you for your clear thinking, though. God Bless.
Ducky, lower the volume? Are you afraid Obama would be called "a moron", "Nazi", "Hitler", "Devil","dictator", and other names I can't print here?
That's what we've heard about Bush all these years. I guess you don't want to look forward to the same.
And of course the names our military personnel have been called.
Then there were Condi Rice, and Colin Powell, "House N------ by Harry Belafonte, and others, for instance.
You are calling for Republicans to lower the volume? Or is that a threat. Maybe the Fairness Doctrine not only for radio but monitors for the internet? That's what I've heard.
Maybe you favor silencing dissent? The left who lauds dissent, may now be on the other side of it and suddenly your suggesting, lower the volume!
See how easy it is for a lefty to slide into tyranny. The Obama camp is trashing Ms. West's husband. She's the reporter who gave Biden a taste of what it was like to be Sarah Palin.
They can't take any criticism or challenges. They go for the throat. You must be so proud.
As to your "advice", thanks but no thanks!
BTW, we really should wait for this discussion until next Wed. the fat lady hasn't sung yet.

I have a good friend at work that is enamored and blindly following Obama. When I explain how Obama would send this country into a dive straight into socialism he just says: "So, what's wrong with that?" The left is not only not scared of steering our country towards socialism but they are happy to do so.
Just exactly what kind of history classes are taught in school these days. When I was there, we had World history, American histoy, civics, and problems of democracy. I'll bet the last two aren't taught any more. Is that correct? I don't think many Americans even know what socialism is. Maybe that's our problem.
LA SUNSETT: I don't believe the old 'pendulem swings back' adage anymore. I USED TO, vehemently, and we saw it illustrated.
But, I hate to sound this down, but I don't believe we have the same Americans we used to have. We don't have that huge group of kids who were set to fight for us, we don't have kids willing to work hard instead of get handouts; we've got broken families, we're kicking faith out, we're sliding into free healthcare and free college...you can't put THAT cat back in the bag. And, we're SO full of illegals and other immigrants who came FOR the handouts, not to give us a hand. I'm not sure the adage applies anymore. I grieve.
I just read Papa Frank's comment..I rest my case.
This is a WHOLE NEW WORLD. This isn't the America I recognize anymore. MAN, HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN???
ANSWER: Professors were sent in to indoctrinate, media turned so far left we're not getting the truth.
It's a scary time.
Z, I think one reason this happened is today's parents are both working. They don't really know what the kids are learning, and more importantly, aren't learning. They just don't have the time.
There isn't in many cases, that Mom at home to be actively involved at school, or to stay on top of what's being taught on a daily basis.
The effort has to be made to teach our children what they're not learning at school, and to be a presence at the school when you disapprove of a curriculum, or what you consider to be inappropriate.
I believe, that anyone who can afford it should find a good private school, and sign your child up.

Z, I have heard of the Stassi, and no, I won't go quietly.
It's hilarious (NOT) to me that the far left is the group falling for this crap. How far will Obama take it? How far will the American people let him take it? Is our general population so young that they don't know their history lessons?
Or are they just that stupid?
Feedback polling in the wake of last night's 30-minute 5 television network Obama infomercial is looking like a shot wad. There's quite a backlash against it. When it all shakes out, the infomercial will probably be seen as a mistake and a waste of resources.
The Obama campaign is now itself publicly admitting that the race with McCain has tightened considerably. Their own polls show deterioration in support for Obama in key battleground states.
This is going to go to the wire, folks.
beamish...there was plenty of talk beforehand about this backfiring, too.
Americans don't like hubris, they don't like a guy who has 10 TIMES the amount of money (especially when they hear Obama's not asked to report who's giving it to him and when how much Middle East money is rumored to be included OR how the credit card donations are completely unchecked) and spends it like a drunken sailor. The "Oval Office"/Camp David setting didn't help. Only morons will draw that connection. Who votes on "Hey, doesn't he look SNAZZY in that office with that suit on!? I'm voting for HIM!"??!! Any thinking person would be saying "who's he TAKE us for?" (or is he just going to TAKE US?)
I guess he's just getting ready for how he'll spend money in the WH, too. But, I think that, if we lose, it'll be because of the fraud he's perpetrated. He taught them very, very well.
Z, who actually WATCHES CNN anymore? Seriously, I for one do not because I do not need the PC crap on steroids that I can easily get in small doses on the 3 traditional networks. I think the infomercial is a big T H U D! For Ducky and all the other Obama people. What are you going to do when John McCain pulls this off? Going to leave the United States? Put yourself in a bunker for the next four to eight years?
CNN is not called The Communist News Network for nothing.
A pox on them!
