Support Obama Or Else...

[nowhereman 1]

What's ironic (I'd go as far as to say bordering on hypocrisy) is that the OP is complaining that the secret service is over-reacting to a woman's threats against Obama, yet this sort of thing is a by-product of the Patriot Act (which is largely a republican measure). Anyone else see the irony there?

What is no less ironic is that the OP (metta) was an ardent supporter of Hillary during the Primaries....like probably her number one fan. And even now, after the nomination process and Hillary's endorsement....he hangs on to one last glimmer of hope that if somehow McCain can win, then Hillary can run again in 4 years.

Well she just put out quite a good interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN immediately post debate #3. And earlier I read she would likely NOT seek another presidential campaign.

I really dislike how many people use Hillary Clinton for their personal smear campaigns. She's a very intelligent, smart politician and genuinely cares about some fundamental women's issues. Luckily, she doesn't seem to care what these little people think

in my humble opinion I think Clinton would have done a better job as president then McCain or Obama will.....

Well gee, there's a dramatic exercise in guesswork.

Perhaps but it doesn't really matter now. Heck I would have voted for Colin Powell & he didn't even run, so like it or not it's either McCain or Obama.

If Sadamm was alive, I would rather immigrate to IRAQ if McCain is elected.

I thought somebody would heckle nowheredudue for this one but the caliber of OT is spotty at best. Investigating threats against presidents and presidential candidates precedes the Patriot Act by nearly a century.

"It was the first U.S. domestic intelligence and counterintelligence agency. It no longer has (and has not had for over a century) these responsibilities, which are now vested in the FBI. After the assassination of President William McKinley in 1901, Congress informally requested Secret Service presidential protection. A year later, the Secret Service assumed full-time responsibility for protection of the President. In 1902, William Craig was the first Secret Service agent killed while riding in the presidential carriage, in a road accident."

Don't forget to blame the McKinley Administration for the Patriot Act from now on.

So what's it gonna be?

Secret Service can do its job or not? Under its investigative powers, that is- not under frivolous expansions of police state tactics to weed out dissent from a society that IS a byproduct of things like the Patriot Act (as you fail to read yet again). Much like we've had laws in the past that have been stripped that would do the same. Nowhereman is spot on.

It's because

I simply believe...

Obama Is A fraud

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

On the basis of these debates - McCain is also a fraud, trying to pass himself off to conservatives as conservative and to the general public as a Maverick Reformer.

By rights this election should be disappointing all around.
