re: #11 DownRightMeanAmerican

I was expecting his fire spewing photo!

The MSM is largely ignoring this, but McCain laid out his vision of his 1st term in office.

Here it is, cut and paste from the email from his campaign.

My Friends,

We are all aware that next January, the political leadership of the United States will change significantly when a new president is sworn into our nation's highest elected office. It is important that the candidates who seek to lead our country after President Bush define their objectives and what they plan to achieve not with vague language but with clarity.

What I want to do is take a little time to describe what I hope to have achieved at the end of my first term as president. I cannot guarantee I will have achieved these things, but I am presumptuous enough to think I would be a good president.

By January 2013, at the end of my first term as president, America has welcomed home most of the servicemen and women who have sacrificed terribly so that America might be secure in her freedom. The Iraq War has been won and Iraq is a functioning democracy. The threat from a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan has been greatly reduced but not eliminated and there has not been a major terrorist attack in the United States since September 11, 2001.

The United States has experienced several years of robust economic growth and Americans again have confidence in their economic future. Congress has lowered taxes and passed fundamental tax reform offering a choice in how taxes are filed. Americans, who through no fault of their own, lost jobs in the global economy they once believed were theirs for life, are assisted by reformed unemployment insurance and worker retraining programs.

Public education in the United States is much improved and test scores and graduation rates are rising everywhere in the country. Health care has become more accessible to more Americans than at any other time in history.

The United States is well on the way to independence from foreign sources of oil; progress that has not only begun to alleviate the environmental threat posed from climate change, but has greatly improved our security as well.

Scores of judges have been confirmed to the federal district and appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, who understand that they were not sent there to write our laws but to enforce them.

Voluntary national service has grown in popularity in part because of the educational benefits used as incentives, as well as frequent appeals from the bully pulpit of the White House, but mostly because the young Americans understand that true happiness is much greater than the pursuit of pleasure, and can only be found by serving causes greater than self-interest.

This is the progress I want us to achieve during my presidency. These are the changes I am running for president to make. I want to leave office knowing that America is safer, freer and wealthier than when I was elected.

There are serious issues at stake in this election, and serious differences, but it should remain an argument among friends; each of us struggling to hear our conscience, and heed its demands. Each of us, despite our differences, united in our great cause and respectful of the goodness in each other. That is how most Americans treat each other. And it is how they want the people they elect to office to treat each other.

We cannot again leave our problems for another unluckier generation of Americans to fix after they have become even harder to solve. I'm not interested in partisanship that serves no other purpose than to gain a temporary advantage over our opponents. We are all compatriots. We are fellow Americans. I intend to prove myself worthy of the office, of our country and of your respect. I won't judge myself by how many elections I've won. I won't spend one hour of my presidency worrying more about my re-election than keeping my promises to the American people.

Last para asking for money deleted.
Class assignment: discuss this.

The problem is that now we can be prosecuted for defending ourselves from our enemies too.

Regarding Obama taking offense at Bush's comments re appeasement, he is the man who wants to meet the murdering scum of Syria and Iran without preconditions and the man who had to fire his top man on Middle East peace because Mr. Malley was meeting with Hamas ( a terrorist organization- Malley's lame excuse was it was part of his duties to other organizations he works for, as if that excuses it).

The problem is all of Obama's making and I do not trust any man who associates with the likes of Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko.

"Things are going to get bad. I know the book is fiction, yes. I can also see from the perspectives of (imho) song-and-dance-man and, somewhat, of Babbazee. And many others here. Posts by those two are eagerly looked-for when I read threads. I hope, Charles, that you never ban them...I see a trend, and the trend doesn't look good."

Excuse me, but what the hell is that supposed to mean?

--Wow. I certainly did not mean to offend. Everyone here sees a trend regarding Jihad and war, even, as someone wittily pointed out, the Pinball Wizard can see that.

The trend I see is not banning, but a certain, ah, hostility that seems...
(self-fulfilling prophesy?)
Ah nevermind. This is the best source of news I got, especially regarding Israel, Islamic nuttery, and moonbattery. I'll stick to lurking. My apologies, Charles, for presuming to know your mind, and further insinuations. Your site rocks, as does this crowd. I couldn't care less if I was ever banned, but I do like reading opinions from those who see things through the prism of Scriprture.

"Not to mention, by his own admission, heavily depressed & on meds."

--er, respectfully, please point out exactly where I said I was on meds. I will never be on meds, not even when Obammunism puts "Belief in the Veracity of the Bible" into that ever-expanding book of so-called Disorders and Syndromes. I pretty much don't trust anyone with a Psych degree, with many good reasons, and from experience. Buncha non-science hack pharma-whores steeped in progressivism, moral relativism, and a stew of other nonsense -isms.

"Yes, this is what I got from that post. Medicated, morose, and just trying to connect with someone here. Been there. Not pretty."

--did I type something, anything at all, regarding medications? Seeing things that aren't there? (I remember when that Hinrichs fella 'sploded in OKC. Lotsa people read the same articles I read and lotsa these same folks kept saying "What about the computer!? Did the see what was on the computer? Get the dude's computer!" When, no computer was ever mentioned at all! This kinda reminds me of that time. Just sayin. And maybe I'm guilty of that, seeing things that aren't there, now that I've "accused" Charles of "planning" a purge.)

Back to lurking for me. Prayers from the praying would be a good thing (thanks Kenneth). Better than meds. I need to stay away from Townhall threads, though. That is a sure way to become more depressed. Those threads are quite like Arkham Asylum, no moderation, no reason, pre-troll-bating (like the Anti-GAZE is in effect over there), rational folks arguing with (!) taqiyya practitioners. I'll be back in a few months, after I finish eating this foot of mine. (not tasty.)

It is always when someone calls them out that the left goes the craziest.

I happen to love it. A LOT.

The quotes are randomly selected from a large quotes file by a script, by the way.

I have never seen a more pathetic selection of presidential contenders. Those 3 gum-flappin' pandering fools all over-promise and will deliver only hell unto us.

They all offer us only more laws & policies to restrict our liberties while stifling our creativity. All 3 are from the Senate.

All 3 operate from the premise that the American way of life is in decline, that it won't get any better, that we must conserve rather than enhance productive measures. All three believe that we are to be restricted rather than trusted with liberties...those few that remain.

Even Bob Dole's lookin' good by comparison.

Once all the "Global(oney) Warming" laws are enacted, we'll be battling this bizarre maze of regulators well after the Globaloney has been exposed as a fraud. The government will never forsake laws that involve spending once they're passed.

None of the 3 contenders mention anything related to the awesome Constitution. They talk much about some other parliamentary form of governance, which is not born of leadership, but of compromise, consultation and the dilution of ideas...at the expense of the American republic.

This is the worst. This; our National Nightmare is just beginning.

Thanks for indulging me this rather long post.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Ladies, take your battle for the environment a little closer to your heart with a solar-powered bra that can generate enough electric energy to charge a mobile phone or an iPod.

Lingerie maker Triumph International Japan Ltd unveiled its environmentally friendly, and green colored, "Solar Power Bra" on Wednesday in Tokyo which features a solar panel worn around the stomach.

The panel requires light to generate electricity and the concept bra will not be in stores anytime soon, said Triumph spokeswoman Yoshiko Masuda, as "people usually can not go outside without wearing clothes over it."

But it does send the message of how lingerie could possibly save the planet, Masuda said, adding that the bra should not be washed or sunned on a rainy day to avoid damaging it.
