A simple answer to all the “experienced ones” that use the term experience against Obama, a simple recant, look where experience has gotten us over the last eight years…..

Compare the lives, expereince and ACHIEVEMENTS of Obama and John McCain.  Then consider who has the better qualifications for our future.  I definitely don’t want a one term, very liberal, senator as our president.  He has not EARNED that priviledge.

Seeings how I’m not a big corporation, I doubt McCain cares at all about helping me.  No thanks to that!  I’d like a supersized order of change please.

Ooooh Ida- your so deserving of all of lifes little perks! In case you didn’t get it, I was being sarcastic! Why should anyone help you? Why should I help you? What have you done for me lately? What have you done for your country lately? Why don’t you help yourself? The problem with our country is that all these liberals, who don’t have jobs, want everything handed to them on a silver platter! Hey Ida, (and most libs) go get a JOB!  Earn your money, instead of waiting for the Federal Government to give hand outs! You’ll feel much better about yourself, and your kids and neighbors will have more respect for you! If you want to hand your hard earned cash to dead beats, and tree hugging hippies, then by all means, go to McBama’s and supersize an order of “poor me, I want free sh*t!”

Anthony r: didn’t do too well in reading comprehension in school, did you? Your response sounds like a form letter from some talk radio idiot. It has nothing whatsoever to do with Ida’s comment. It’s as if there’s a button on the side of your head leading to its single content—a string of meaningless soundbites—and any time someone says something you don’t understand, you push the button and out comes the recording.

Wow Amy- But your comment was so thoughtful and full of great Ideas. What can I say about my uneducated ramblings, except ” I thank you Montana teachers!” Your right- when all else fails, listen to John Stokes- KGEZ !! 600AM radio- Oh crap- I don’t know what else to say! John! A little help here!! Oh dear Amy, please help me understand- Mabey we can get together for a cup of coffee, perhaps? I really want to understand the “Change I can believe in”, and I think your the one who can finally show me the way!

Anthony - bitter much about the upcoming GOP losses?  Angry rhetoric is all your side seems to have and it’s not very appealing.

what happened to voting for the person and not the party. voting the ticket is dumb. i hear so much about how one side will kick the other sides butt and it is said in an all inclusive way. “my side is better than your side”, i expect to hear a nah nah right after that. politicians are human like anyone else and to be human is to sometimes be a waste of space so any party can have its share of putz’s. dont bicker, put yourself above all that and vote for each person running as just that a person, an individual who can be falable or one who rises above the petty,meanness and gread of the selfserving . voting the ticket blindly has caused terrible harm over the years and the “hate” vote, the vote where you vote against a group as a whole because you feel that your concerns have been ignored by some in that group, has caused even more damage to our wonderful country. we live in a free land that allows us to become whatever we are willing to put the effort and sweat into. vote the person not the ticket and help our country. sometimes in helping our country you have to look at the persons running for office and vote for the best one even if you dont like them as an individual. vote for the person who will do the best for our country. the tree of liberty has been fed often by the blood of patroits who gave all for us. is it too much to ask that we set aside our minor pettiness and dislikes and vote for the persons most able and with the demonstrated ability to do best for this land of the free and the brave. be brave and do what is right, vote for our counrty not yourself. remember the patroits who have kept our country free for each of us.
