What Can You Do for Us as President, John McCain?

Don't really know why this is in the top 20 again. Perhaps someone
should be made aware that the election is over and he lost?

Is it 2012 yet.

We have a netured president now, in 2012, its time to unload him back
to the streets of chicago.


Good Day

LOL, its back again!


good day

LOL, Holy Thread Revival Batman.

I scan through the top 25 and see this again! Wow!

Here's my theory on why this keeps popping up:

the name "John McCain" are entered into search engines quite
frequently, being that he is a well known politician. perhaps this
letter, with his name in the title appears somewhat near the top of
googles results.

Does PFB have a page hit system? perhaps pages with a higher hit count
appear on the top 25. I would be willing to bet that in 2012 if mccain
runs again, this letter will reappear again.

What's up with this post???? John McCain didn't win the Presidency -
DUH -- where have you been since the November 2008 election?

It's Ba-ack!!!

for the longest a letter ever in the top 25?

Actually contrary to popular belief, the president doesn't really have
as much to do with the economy as you think.He has some effect but he
does not have a lot of control over things. He can't tell the American
people to buy American cars and he can't make your employer give out
proper raises.

A newly elected president does have a psychological effect on the
market

NOTHING!

Obama:

Started with a guy whos living room I was in when I was 6.
CHANGEd to a guy who worked in the same building
CHANGEd to a guy I worked for
CHANGEd to a guy who was at one of my first political fundraisers.

After asking and bringing evidence and dragging it out of him, he
admitted his relationship. Ironically after he was elected Ayers was
glad he could come out in the open about it.

Rahm Emmanuel:

Started with no contact with Blagoyovech
CHANGEd to "one courtesy phone call" with passive discussion about the
senate seat. (as reported by the Obama team investigating, I am sure
there is no bias there).

What will it change to next?

I LOVE Socialism, the more the better!!!!

That all the people floyd talked about are coming out of the woodworks
now. Ayers, William Wright, have all been quoted indicating they are
free to speak now.

An auto czar? Isn't that what a CEO is supposed to be, and not a
government position?

And I also heard that he chose the governer of michigan to be his
economic advisor. Hasn't michigan been a straight recession for the
last year? Good choice there

Potential quadruple tax on weapons and ammo? Gun stores are making
record sales before Obama takes office, because if he can't rescind
the 2nd amendment, he will make it unaffordable for gun owners.

Socialism here we come! less than 70 days.

Which news agencies will we see avoided during press conferences?
Hmmmmm....

"Who Got To Ask Questions At The Obama Presser?
In order:

Nedra Pickler (AP), Lee Cowan (NBC), Jake Tapper (ABC), Chip Reid
(CBS), Karen Bohan (Reuters), John McCormick (Chicago Tribune), Lynn
Sweet (Chicago Sun-Times), Candy Crowley (CNN), Jeff Zeleny (New York
Times).

Which network didn't get a question? Fox News."

Linked from Drudgereport.


What did he say about being bipartisan?

Pete or Somebody-
Do you think there is a way that this letter could be moved to a
politcal debate section or something similar?

This letter has been in the top 25 since September, and the comments
have gone beyond the letter and providing feedback, but it has turned
in to a politcal debate, something that I do not feel is appropriate
to be in the top 5 consistently.

We will never know, now will we.

YEA! OBAMA!

So....does anyone know when the socialism will be starting? It's been
two whole days, and I still haven't gotten my redistribution check.

I'll just be waiting by my mailbox, if anyone needs me.

I am JUST BESIDE myself with JOY!!!
This is my new theme song!!!!

Wonderful feeling,
Wonderful day!

The sun still came up today, so it would appear that the universe
didn't come to a screeching halt becuase a democrat's slated for the
White House.

Heaven didn't descend to earth overnight, so it looks like having a
democrat slated for the White House isn't the sign of utopia
beginning.

this election is over. Now we can all get back on with our lives =]

As for someone's prediction below of taunting and celebration by
Democrats, I think that in the unlikely event this happens the roar
will quickly be silenced by the shock legislators feel over how the
sad state of our economy. No matter what the margin of victory, Obama
has a lot of work ahead.

Listen, I am a life-long Democrat but will NOT vote for Obama. I do
not want an untested 'rock star' for a president. People are so
blinded by his flash and dazzle they fail to realize that there is no
meat on the platter.

Here's what's hilarious: Many people I've spoken to say they
outwardly support Obama, but will vote for McCain once they are in the
booth. Why? They fear saying anything BUT "Yes, I'm voting for
Obama!" You are seen as 'elitist white scum' or racist if you say
anything else.

People are so caught up in the "he's black" thing that they forget he
is also half white.

Now what?

McCain......has been in Washington so long that you wonder why he
hasn't 'done anything' to fix Washington in his long career there.
The truth be told, he has no idea what it's like to live 'down here'.
Yes, I respect his military service and sacrifices, but when he can
tell me what the price of a gallon of milk is at the store closest to
his house, then I might consider voting for him.

Maybe I'll write in Alfred E. Neuman for president.

A government big enough to provide everything you need is big enough
to take everything you have.

Think about it.

I plan to vote for Obama and I strongly encourage all of you to look
into your hearts and give him your consideration.

I find it incredibly ironic that the far Right lables themselves as
the "Real" and "Patriotic" Americans yet it is precisly their economic
policies are bankrupting our country.

Moreover, think about about all the human blood that has been poured
out over the last 6 years because in a dark moment our president
scared us into submission and fabricated a motive for us to invade a
country that was a "contained treat" according to Rice in 2001. While
most of America was thirsty for revenge from 9/11 Obama stood againts
the tide and was one of the few voices of reason. When most of our
other leaders hid their heads out of fear of being branded a coward,
or unpatriotic, Obama said "no" to this unjustified war when he had
nothing to gain, and everything to lose. He did this for the simple
reason that he cares far more for our country than his reputation.
Obama understands, just as I do, that the most difficult kind of
leadership involves standing up for what is right despite overwelming
opposition. Obama earned my vote in that defining moment.

My friends I'm tired of our leaders trying to scare everyone into
submission. I beleive our next president should be the brand of
person that inspires people to follow him because of his courage.
Certainly Mccain has many redeaming qualities, however their is a very
good reason why he is being likened to Bush now. It's all the fear
mongering. Instead of offering courage and wisdom to inspire everyone
to back him, every speech has been disigned to scare Americans againts
voting for Obama. It's a tactic that i recognize and reject with
every fiber of my being. If you will do the same then the 100's of
thousands men, women, and sadly even children that have perished in
this conflict will not have died in vain.

You get what you vote for (Obama)

Do you think that Obama will actually decrease your tax rate if you
earn under $250,000 a year? Think again. The best you can hope for
is that the Democratic congress and Obama will quickly pass/sign a
second stimulus package then that will be it for you. They are gong to
try and buy you off with the second stimulus package.

They will say things are much worse now (January 2009) than they were
when the tax cut promise was made. Therefore, now, we can't afford
any tax cuts at THIS TIME. They will, of course, go ahead with the
rate increases for those earning over $250,000 and to increase the
corporate and capital gains rate. They are hoping that the "Obama
sheep" will be happy with this -- that at least the rich are now
paying "their fair share".

Why is it people seem to think that government is supposed to do
something for you? The original founders idea was for government to
be out of the way ENOUGH so people could pursue their
enterprises--hence free enterprise.
Obviously limited government is necessary, but I think the founders
would be astonished and appalled as how large it has become. The
founders ideal was self-sufficiency, small government and rule of
law.
Neither candidate can really help the economy.. I believe Obama will
destroy it.
You want to fix the economy? Easy. Slash and burn government
spending. Use independent real life business accounting standards
and see if government agencies can be more efficient. Do not spend
more than you take in, it doesn"t work. Get rid of corporate taxes.
Corporations do not pay taxes anyway, they pass that bill off to
consumers. Get rid of the capital gains tax completely--that alone
would spur investment like nothing you've seen.
Most important==Vote out every single incumbent Senator and
Congressman (cross party lines to do it). they are the problem. Most
of them have been there too long. Every new tax or special tax credit
stifles the economy and is nothing more than congress abusing their
power.
Wehn all the bums are voted out, insist on a flat income tax with no
deductions-low like 12 to 15 percent with no games of deductions for
everyone. That's fair to everyoneo. The more you make the more you
keep..
It's not rocket science

Mc cain can do nothing for us!!! go back to the desert and take care
of arizona!!! that place is awful! to me, there is no arizona...I
lived there for 6 months!

Why would you vote for someone whos running mate misused TAX payers
money:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/21/palin.travel.ap/index.html

That is NOT someone I want to help decide how to spend MY money.

The people I have talked to really do not why, based on policy, they
are voting for Obama or McCain.

I see it more with the Obama people though, some of them just repeat
the slogan or the latest news sound bite, like we need change. If you
ask them what is Obama's/Mc Cains policy for immigration they do not
know, or make something up.

Check out this youtube clip, it is quite funny.

Good Day

I'M NOT FOR FOR EITHER ONE BUT WE DONT HAVE MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM DO WE!
I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PEOPLE CAN BE SO MUCH FOR SOME ONE THAT REFUSES
TO SALUTE THE AMERICAN FLAG OR BOW THERE HEAD IN PRAYER AS OBAMMA.
CLAIMS HE'S FOR THE POOR PEOPLE B,S. HE'S FOR GETTING A FAT PAYCHECK
FOR HIS SELF. READ BETWEEN THE LINES PEOPLE. THEY CAN MAKE PROMISSES
BUT NEITHER OF THEM CAN DO ANY THING WITHOUT CONGRESS SAYING OK FIRST.
THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS STUPID FOR LISTENING TO WALLSTREET SAYING WE'RE
IN A RESSESION EVERYONE CLAM'S UP WITH THERE FEW DOLLAR'S AND YES
PEOPLE GET SCARED, IF THE PEOPLE WOULD IGNORE THESE IDIOTS AT
WALLSTREET AND GO ON WITH THERE EVERYDAY LIFE'S LIKE NORMAL, BUILDING
HOMES BUYING CARS ENJOYING LIFE ECT. THE MONEY WOULD STILL BE ROTATING
THROUGH LIFE CREATING MORE JOB'S AND A STRONGER ECONOMY ,BOTTOM LINE
IS FACTORYS AND PLANT'S ARE SHUTTING DOWN BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT
SPEND THERE MONEY. I'M NOT SAYING GO FOR BROKE BUT CONTINUE TO LIVE
COMFORTABLE AND SEE THE CHANGE IN THE ECONOMY. THE U.S.A HAS BECOME SO
DEPENDENT ON OVERSEAS OIL AND SUPPLYS SENDING ALL JOBS WITH IT , THAT
WE CAN'T EVEN STAND ON OUR OWN TWO FEET . IF IT SAY'S MADE IN USA BUY
IT IF IT SAYS MADE ELSEWHERE LEAVE IT THEN SEE WHO NEEDS WHO. WE CAN
INCREASE OUR JOB FORCE AND BECOME SELF DEPENDENT AGAIN . SO GET OFF
THE COUCH QUIT FEELING SORRY FOR YOUR SELF AND GO SPEND SOME MONEY AND
WATCH WHAT HAPPENS. YOU'L GET UP WATCH THE NEWS IN A FEW DAYS AND SEE
WOW ECONOMY HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALY ALL BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SPENDING
MORE MONEY. DONT DEPEND ON GOVERMENT TO BAIL US OUT DO IT YOUR SELF .

...to see more about the context and how it's supported by Bush. I
notice you added "without any protocol" even though that's not
supported by Obama's statements. Where did he say that? Oh, wait...
I notice you put that AFTER the quotes. Which means it's something
YOU said, not him. Why are you fabricating?

I fail to see what your problem is. Being concerned about civilians
is an absolute necessity for a US Commander in Chief. Not speaking up
about it is, as I've said, disgusting.

have contradicted what he has said about what our military does in
afganistan. NONE. What i get from it is that we need more military
involvement there because there is not enough support, so in the
meantime because we are under supported in Afganistan, we will just
blindly Air raid villages and kill civilians.

Personally, I'm voting for Obama because of his stance on women's
health care (which includes the right to choose to have an abortion),
energy and environment, and immigration to name a few. No, I don't
think Obama will miraculously fix our economy (it's going to take a
long time and a lot of effort to do that). I'm not 100% behind Obama
or McCain. I believe that things shouldn't just be black and white (no
pun intended), Democrat or Republican. There should be a gray area in
the middle and that's where I stand. I agree with certain things Obama
is for, and certain things McCain is for. It just so happens that I'm
behind more things that Obama has said than McCain.

I enjoy getting cheap, personal health care from places like Planned
Parenthood and I think the right to choose to have an abortion is
crucial. Personally, I know way too many people out there who have
children who shouldn't. The abuse and suffering these kids go through
is unnecessary and child services won't step up and put them in a
different home, no matter how many letters I send or phone calls I
make. I'm not going to go into detail with the other things I agree
with because that would take up too much time and space, but I just
wanted to explain my point on the pro-choice position. I'm not trying
to start a debate or get people all revved up on the matter. I'm just
stating my opinion. If you took the time to read this, thank you. I'm
open for any questions you might have but please don't turn this into
a debate.

Well, to the person who fears "socialism": a little bit of socialism
in the form of "wealth redistribution," at this time, after years of
reverse "wealth redistribution" (tax cuts of all kinds for
corporations and wealthy individuals so they could "create jobs,"
while low and middle income earners saw their wages dive or stagnate)
is NOT a bad thing. Capitalism gone amok isn't good either. The
pendulum swings. Many feel as if rich corporations and individuals
have been taking a ride on their backs for a long time. Many wealthy
individuals say they know they've gotten too big a break (not only tax
cuts, but breaks on investment earnings, etc) and welcome paying more
of a fair share.

I am very young and I don't know much about politics, but I'm
wondering if Obama wants to cut taxes for the people not making as
much, but raise taxes on the wealthier people, could that be a form of
socialism? Because according to ashbrook.org (a .org site, not .com)
says,
"Under socialism a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and
social planners decide what people want or what is good for society
and then use the coercive power of the State to regulate, tax, and
redistribute the wealth of those who work for a living. In other
words, socialism is a form of legalized theft."
http://www.ashbrook.org/publicat/onprin/v1n3/thompson.html (it's the
5th paragraph)
Would putting more taxes on the wealthy and less on the poor be
considered socialism? Becuase he is redistributing the wealth of the
people making over $250,000 a year, right? I know America's economy is
a capitalism and socialism is generally considered bad by most people.
Again, I do not know a lot because I'm only a sophomore in high
school. I am not trying to show support for any side, but could
someone help me out on this?

Unless you are wealthy already, John McCain can't and won't do
anything for you. Vote for Barack Obama. At least Obama knows you
and I and people like us need help, and we're part of his ideas and
policies. John McCain is old-fashioned and stubborn and out of touch
with modern-day needs and concerns.
