		<description>"That nationalizes the debt of predatory capitalists so they suffer no punishment for their misconduct and then nationalizes major financial institutions, converting the nation’s free market system into a socialism in which crony capitalists are a privileged elite?"

True communism under George Bush and the GOP.</description>

		<description>I sincerely hope less totalitarian and less communist than KGB style America under George Bush: wiretapping, spying on Americans, detention without trial, torture and violation of human rights and building a Berlin Wall south of the border, all smacks of Marxism-Leninism and I am hoping that Obama would dismantle some of these Marxist totalitarian programs initiated by the GOP masquerading as conservatives.</description>

		<description>Will Obama create a state that. . .

    * That snatches its victims off the street, denies them all form of legal process and whisks them away to secret “blacksites” where they can be tortured using all the techniques described in Arthur Koestler’s Darkness at Noon?
    * That arrests and prosecutes its political adversaries for imaginary crimes so as to eliminate them from the running in election cycles in which they could do some damage?
    * That destroys the careers of professional military men because they got promotions under a prior regime and therefore considers them disloyal?
    * That believes it can detain and hold its enemies forever without any charges or any evidence against them, denying them access to courts to prove their innocence?
    * That constantly manipulates the population’s fear whenever its public popularity slips and elections begin to approach?
    * That believes that it can make no errors, and that those who point to its errors are traitors?
    * That systematically spies on millions of its citizens in direct violation of a criminal statute which forbids such surveillance?
    * That signs new laws with its fingers crossed in the form of signing statements, so that no one knows whether the laws—or any part of them—will actually be enforced?
    * That lies to its people about threats from abroad in an effort to build popular support for a series of wars and then cites the existence of those wars as a reason to suppress dissent?
    * That nationalizes the debt of predatory capitalists so they suffer no punishment for their misconduct and then nationalizes major financial institutions, converting the nation’s free market system into a socialism in which crony capitalists are a privileged elite?

		<description>I think it always funny that when someone doesn't vote for "your" candidate that they are the idiots and that they are the followers. So for the past 8 years did we have idiots and followers? Im trying to understand this idea of Marxism and Socialist. You have to understand that the American people would never let something like that happen even if it is Obama's plan to "Take down America with Ayers," whoever said that come on.  I you really believe Obama is going to ruin the country why don't you do what I'm pretty sure you tell all liberals to do..... "If you don't like it leave."  This has got to be the most interesting even in my 23 years of life. I by no means think that I have the answer for anything, but I will tell you this, if you haven't noticed the country is in shit, and the tax plans and the commercialism that we hold so dear to our country is not working. Government Mandates and regulation may hurt business's but they help them more then anything. I come from a home that has two self started business's in Scottsdale Arizona. Will Obama's tax plan hurt them, no more then 8 years ago before bush. Now was it great to have those tax right off's and cuts for the business the last 8 year of course but because my family can afford more taxes to help the people who are losing so much I guess we are willing to make that sacrifice. Everyone in America is so concerned with what they are getting. My family is very well off and if paying more taxes helps another family get their children an education that I got to be successful then for the first time in a long time, the greatest country on earth is showing what is.</description>

		<description>I don't believe in coincidences, but maybe, there is an exception to everything.  Is Senator Obama going to "take his ball and finally go home now?” 

When I first heard Senator Obama's response to "Joe the Plummer," concerning "spreading the wealth", the first thing that came to my mind was Karl Marx and his infamous line of "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs."  That resonated like I was back in high school and college again during the "Cold War". 

Marxist:  that's not so far fetched.  Think about just a few things about Senator Obama: he won't explain the relationship with Bill Ayers, he speaks about the gun carrying, religion folks of PA, as if there is no Bill of Rights, Senator Biden goes into depth about an Obama administration in that he (Obama) would be tested the first 6 months and would not be able to stand up to the challenge without help. He wants to spread the wealth.  What about the "Jeremiah Wright" saga and the things he spewed.  Senator Obama had to be asleep the past 20 years not to hear the “trash” from the supposed “Man of God.”  You simply cannot ignore all this just as coincidences.  This is all far left thinking amongst other things.  With a far left Congress, where will our checks and balances be with an Obama and Biden Administration?  Where will they lead our society and great nation?  I now see the hand writing on the wall!  

Senator Biden, why don't you "step up to the plate" and answer the questions or are you just Senator Obama's "hey boy and mouthpiece?"

Congratulations Ms West.  The late Mr. Peter Jennings of ABC would have been proud of you!

		<description>Obama might be elected because our nation is now full of dum-dums. They are like mice following the pied piper. Thanks to our 'excellent' government schools who only  graduate about half their charges. Let's hope the damage won't be lethal!</description>

		<description>Actually, it is a real concern.  Obama's friends all want to take down the U.S.  Ayers is being quiet for the first time in his life because he knows that if he is not he will not see the end of his long term plan to get Obama to fulfill his goals when he gets into the White House.  Same with Rezko, Soros, Wright and a bunch of others behind Obama.  

They want to stay rich and get more money from Obama, while they take down the real people who live in the U.S.  They sure did not mind taking down Chicago.  

Chicago:  Highest murder rate in the country even though it is not the largest city by any means. 

Chicago:  Worst school system in America.

Chicago:  Is financially broke.  


Rezko, Obama and friends threw away millions of Federal dollars Obama got, to make themselves rich, and build housing that fell apart in less than six years.
When the people called Obama and Rezko to fix the housing and turn on the heat, neither of them would call back.  No response until a suit was filed.

Obama gets into the White House, then who is going to answer the phone when there is an emergency if he can't even answer the phone to get heat turned on or repairs made in the housing he sponsored.


Great job for your district Senator Obama.

No I don't want you running this country.  No I do not want to live in a Socialist/Marxist country.  No I do not want you to do to this country what you have done to Chicago over the past decade.

I notice Daley is already starting to realize what his friendship with Obama and Ayers has cost the city.</description>

the mean press ladies (I need to learn
to spell Commissars..before mid-January);
Maybe Cheney will be mild compared to
V.P. Joe.</description>
