Well, looks like the Jacksonville newspaper has come out swinging in favor of Mr. Obama for President. Wonder if it has anything to do this the months and months of banner ads he has purchased from the newspaper's holding company -and displayed on all the on-line forum sites?

It could be or...
It could just be that they have decided to support the best candidate for President. If there was any doubt, the gas tax holiday porposal had made things startlingly clear.

Do we want pandering that gets us no closer to a solution (actually increases the problem)? Economics that no sane economist (liberal, moderate, or conservative) supports? A reduction in taxes coupled with no reduction in spending (aka deficit spending)? A policy so blatantly political posturing and nothing more that it managed to bring together Clinton and McCain? Or do we want straight talk, honesty, and solutions?

I will choose the latter and I will vote for Obama in November.

Didn't you mean, "Or do we want higher gas taxes, a global warming tax, and a U.N. tax?"

But is he the Anti-Christ?

Unfortunately, only time will tell. Some thought Bill Clinton was a bad influence, yet he might end up looking like a Sunday school teacher. The US will get what it deserves, just as Jacksonville is getting what it deserves from its leadership.

You know, Ronald Wilson Reagan was
accused of being the "anti-Christ"
as well and just for having six
letters on each of his names as 666.
I guess under that category
Barack Hussein Obama (aka 675)
is easily disqualified!

....that kind of rubbish is another
scare tactic political aficionados
could use to scare little old ladies
and small children!

USC

I'm sorry, but I shudder to think of all the blood spilled by our good ole American patriots, and how placing this guy that refuses to wear a flag on his lapel and his newly inspired wife in the White House disgraces their contribution to our society.
Just my own opinion!!!!!!!

I believe I'm a pretty open minded person,
but please don't tell me that a flag on
his lapel is your argument against
senator Obama? a mean come on! Does
every Christian has to wears a cross
to show off they're Christian? that's what
I would call being superficial and intending
to take God's place reading minds.....

I'd sure appreciate to hear firm basis
for your fears to have Obama in the white
house if elected in Nov.

Your opinions might help the (still)undecided
voter or it could confirm that "scare tactics"
will continue to be use by the
Democratic & Republican parties to get
away with their agendas.....not necessarily
for the good of the people

just my opinion USC

1. No experience in any form of management of a government entity.

2. No diplomacy or foreign policy experience at all, and displays incredible naivity about "talking with foreign leaders" (who do not follow what they agree to anyway)

3. Incredible cost of his new social programs.

4. Huge tax increases to be levied on the only investors that will put money into the country, the US high income folks.

5. A man who will say anything to make him look good and honest, but who has no track record except the most liberal voting record in his pathetically short Congressional career.

6. A wife who has no clue how to represent as First Lady the population and attitudes of the citizens of the most powerful free nation in the world.

7. No government "team" to join his administration, other that the Democrats that have been the same old politicians that he claims he will get rid of in order to bring about "change".

8. WHAT CHANGES does he mean? And how do they work? And why should anyone BELIEVE THAT HE CAN MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN, WHEN STRONGER MORE EXPERIENCED MEN HAVE FAILED AT THOSE PROMISES TOO.

and it goes on.....

Folks are confusing:

"I hate Bush and everyone connected with him...so ANYONE WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE REPUBLICANS."

With,

Let's get our country under citizen's control again, not Washington....and that does not start at the President....it starts with State and US Legislatures and Congresspersons.

Clean out anyone that brings pork to the floor, and anyone that BROUGHT pork to the floor. Limit lobbyist activities and make them totally transparent, of send folks to prison that cheat the public by pushing stupid programs and interests to the purchasing power of the USA.

Obama, Hilliary, McCain, Nader, Paul, Huckabee, Edwards, Kerry, Gore, Bush, the whole bunch....they are the PROBLEMS....not the SOLUTIONS!!

Forgot one, uscit....

Obama is merely the second term office holder of Jimmy Carter world politics.....Jimmy knew how to talk to those Iranians!! At least Carter understood managing a peanut farm...Obama has not even that experience!

Beginning to think that if all the internet forum posters just got off the internet (including me!!) and went out and cut their own grass and washed their own car, dusted up their own house a bit, and cooked their own food for awhile....some of the illegal stuff would go away, wouldn't take so much gasoline and energy to move around, and then we could get back to serious stuff like worrying about who shot JR on Dallas again!

Very True.

There are many areas where Senator Obama’s plans are superior to those of Senator McCain. Handling climate change is just the latest area to come up in the public discourse.
McCain has been trying to promote himself as eco-friendly in a recent campaign tour of Oregon but, unfortunately, his plans don’t add up and neither does his voting record. The League of Conservation Voters gave McCain a lifetime grade of 24 percent versus 86 percent for Obama. I don’t care how much you grade on the curve; 24 percent is definitely not a passing grade. You can’t just wake up a few months before an election, discover your inner environmentalist, and try to deny many decades of poor judgment on the environment, pollution, resource management, etc.
Furthermore, the WSJ (not exactly a pro-Obama newspaper) has described McCain’s “cap and trade” plan to reduce greenhouse gases as “liberal”, “the worst choice”, and “an expensive, invasive government bureaucracy” (May 13th, McCain’s climate “market”). In contrast, Obama’s proposed system of “auctioning” emission permits is called by the same WSJ as “honest” and “taking responsibility” as opposed to McCain’s “posturing”.
I give credit to McCain for admitting that there is a climate change problem but when both environmental groups and conservative newspapers agree in panning his plans, there must be something wrong.
We need to address climate change, we need a bi-partisan plan, we need to get away from dependence on foreign oil. In short, we need President Obama.

I will go back to cutting my grass now!
