88Comrade2000 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I'll revise my statement, TrumanB is a hardcore, hard right conservative. The thing is, his brand controls the Republican party. I bashed Mccain plenty of times because the man deserved it. He was unfit to be president and he proved that during the campaign. I said all along I couldn't vote for Obama. I voted for Bob Barr. Frankly, I may never vote for a major party ever again. When Obama is going to need votes to overcome a filabuster; Mccain will be leading the charge.

You call democracy mob rule, and yet have no alternative? It is the organized "mob rule" that this country was founded upon, i.e. representative government, when by the people, of the people for the people....i.e. the mob. If an American does not support this then they don't support America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulane Skins Fan Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 As the "historic" day approaches, I thought I should clear up something with the messiah supporters. When someone is debating with you on all things Obama, please do not say "well, he's your president too .... blah, blah, blah". I don't know how many times I have read this on this board or seen someone say this on TV. He's NOT "my" president. I did NOT vote for him. I do NOT agree with his policies and think they will be detrimental to the security of America. I will NOT support him. I hope he fails miserably. He is no more "my" president than George W. Bush was your president. I do not say this out of bitterness or jealousy or whatever. He won the election fair and square. I'm not going to whine and ***** like the libs did when Bush won. But, what I will do is give Obama everything that Bush was given by the libs, plus some. Turnabout is fair play. I'm not alone in this. Plenty of my friends feel exactly as I do. So, enjoy your day tomorrow, because it's going to be the high point of the next 4 years. I mean, isn't that exactly what you are doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoot Point Really Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 One thing that I will say: "Dissent is the Highest form of Patriotism"... Except when the Liberals are in total control of the Government. Isn't that what Liberal Democrats did the last 8 years? Explain how they weren't being "un-patriotic" or how they were being extremely uber-patriotic? The OP is expressing his thoughts and opinion. Everyone else is criticizing, and that's fine. However, the criticism should be constructive and the OPs remarks should be clarified for the topic of discussion to be meaningful. It would be good to hear how people intend to "support" the soon-to-be President and how long they will give him before they decide whether to continue their support... I've stated that he will have my wary support for the next 100 days. I'll withhold all criticism over the next 100 days. Regardless, I will always include him and all civil authorities in my prayers (whether or not I disagree) while in office. I'll always hope for the best.

PeterMP Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Add me to the list of the people that didn't vote for him and don't particularly like his policies, but hope he does well and will say he is MY President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsburySkinsFan Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 No it isn't. Sure it is, what is the House on Capital Hill called? House of Representatives, our elected officials are the "representatives" of the mob, and if they do not "represent the will of the mob" then the mob chooses a new representative.

Bang Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 ...

Regardless, I will always include him and all civil authorities in my prayers (whether or not I disagree) while in office. I'll always hope for the best. I'd say that is a fair and logical approach. I'm not saying Trumanb should just blindly follow, but be open minded enough to give it a chance before you decide it's all down the crapper. I'm an eternal pessimist when it comes to our elected official, but I'm always willing to give the benefit of the doubt up front until they show me otherwise. (Unfortunately, they almost always do show me otherwise, but that's another point.) ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLockesGhost Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 A republic is just organized mob rule. A Republic is government in which the Law is supreme. No one is above the law even those charged with enforcing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
