Obama’s Acceptance Speech – prediction!

[Marty]

What is your prediction on the “themeâ€

[getalife]

I think you nailed it Marty

[Greg_Cornish]

Or maybe he'll want government to help provide an opportunity.

[Marty]

There you go again Greg – you’re slipping to the left again! Tell me Greg did the government make that wrist brace you use to fish? Did the government set your pontoon boat up for you to go fishing? No – you did it. I’m not say we can’t use the help but friends will do that – the best way for the government to help is stay out of the way!

What do you think Obama will talk about tonight?

[Guy Kelley]

Greg !

WHY SHOULD GOVERNMENT HAVE TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY ?

Is it because we expect for some one else to provide us with something we dint earn in the first place why we are in the mess we are in ?

Med i cal, med i cad, S.S. Free Schools, Free lunch, Government Bail outs, Well fair for those who don't want to work, on and on an on.

Why don't we do it for our selfs, and rely on are own strength and faith in our selfs, in stead of expecting a hand out ?

Why is California Broke ??????

What did Bushes stimulus package provide ?

We rely on Unions to provide us for what, so we can threaten strike ? if they don't pungel up to entitlement's,

Only time teachers strike is when kids are in school ?

Just because I am alive, and breathing doesn't mean i should get a free ride, just because I am an American Citizen.

How about pride and earning my own way ? doesn't that count for something. or What ?

You I would think than most would see that considering the situation you are in !

Greg !

WHY SHOULD GOVERNMENT HAVE TO PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY ?

You mean like that silly old Bill of Rights?

Med i cal, med i cad, S.S. Free Schools, Free lunch, Government Bail outs, Well fair for those who don't want to work, on and on an on.

Always amazes me that people who would feed a stray dog and even take him to the vet will cross the street to avoid a homeless person.

Why don't we do it for our selfs, and rely on are own strength and faith in our selfs, in stead of expecting a hand out ?

Many do, some aren't capable.

Why is California Broke ??????

I don't know, why is our nation broke after having a Repubican house and senate majority and control of administration?

What did Bushes stimulus package provide?

It gave us a shot of insulin for the diabetic economy.

We rely on Unions to provide us for what, so we can threaten strike ? if they don't pungel up to entitlement's,

Yes, lets go back to before Unions. Take those kids out of school and put them to work. To hell with the 40 hour work week, people can work at least 80 hours. Black Lung disease isn't as bad as those stupid workers say it is.

Only time teachers strike is when kids are in school ?

Guy, now that statement there should be taken out and shot! So you think if they want more money they should yell, "MEET MY DEMANDS OR I'LL TAKE THE SUMMER OFF!"???

Just because I am alive, and breathing doesn't mean i should get a free ride, just because I am an American Citizen.

Agreed

How about pride and earning my own way ? doesn't that count for something. or What?

Agreed

You I would think than most would see that considering the situation you are in!

Not following you here

True Guy.

I will never stop wondering why after controlling the administration and both houses for four years the Republicans never did anything about abortion. Its written into their platform. Actually I do know. Because your Republican Politicians can't disagree with it morally in their personal lives. Probably many in their families have secretly had them, including some of their mistresses. Besides this they need it for a political football.

[getalife]

I just want to see how this looks before I post my actual response to Greg... be patient.

That did not look so good. How do you do that "Guy Kelly Wrote" stuff and how do you copy someone else's quote of a quote?

[Greg_Cornish]

Code: Select all

You put the person's name in front like this...

Code: Select all

[quote="getalife"]

And this after the quote

Code: Select all

[/quote]

I usually the copy and paste this part

Code: Select all

[quote="getalife"] 

and type the

Code: Select all

[/quote]

part after it. Disregard all the code stuff.

[Guy Kelley]

Hey, thanks a bunch for using me as the example !!!

Bill of rights ? Greg ! IT doesn't say that the gov is going to give me a job !!

I agree that Unions have helped to change over the years, deplorable working conditions. But they never did find Jimmy Hoffa.
Plus Unions have pulled plenty of crap over the years too.

I have helped to feed and employee the homeless and un-employed So don't even go there.

I just think that it is un-fair that the children should be held hostage over union negotiations between teachers and the District. Plus I believe that the teachers union is getting way to big for its own britches. Look what happened to the carpenters union and developer's ! Now most carpenters are from south of the boarder and English is a second language !

The Repub's and Dem's have got it both F.U.B.A.R.D. But I am not going to waste a vote on a Lib or peace and freedom either. So I will vote my heart this time, not my head or necessarily my party

When You were put into your chair, Did you expect The Government to come and give you a job and to set you up for life, did you feel that they owed something to you ? No ! I didn't think so

My frend, I think that you and I think more alike than not

[Marty]

Have any of you seen the stage that Obama will give his acceptance speech on tonight? Looks like he is thinking about becoming the Emperor of the empire of the United States of America.

He did not save any expense on setting it up – just show you how he will spend tax payers money!

[Guy Kelley]

Marty Just wait until the republicans and Mc Cain have there show !

How much money will they spend of contributions for the circus.

Can't wait to see it , it ought to be good

[Greg_Cornish]

Bill of rights ? Greg ! IT doesn't say that the gov is going to give me a job !!

The question was why should government provide an opportunity? Not, the government should give me a job. You're getting off track. The bill of rights and a lot of other legislation tries to level the playing field and provide opportunity's for those cases of people who are held down do to different circumstances.

I agree that Unions have helped to change over the years, deplorable working conditions. But they never did find Jimmy Hoffa.

We ate him at MacDonalds I'm quite sure.

Plus Unions have pulled plenty of crap over the years too.

of course they have - where there's money, there's crime.

I have helped to feed and employee the homeless and un-employed So don't even go there.

(applause) Good for you. I know many conservatives who have. My sister has raised 6 foster kids (that I can count) and adopted one. My conservative protestant brother who's a State Representative travels to Nicaragua once a year to put up a Catholic mission. (weird huh) There is charity given by both parties, its not exclusive.

However the question was about Medicare and Medical and welfare for people who don't want to work. I say we need a better health care system but I'd need to write great walls of text. to explain my views and no-one would read it.

I cannot understand why neither party is willing to tackle the problem of welfare abuse. Welfare is obviously needed. I know people who are not mentally capable of holding down a job. What do you do with them? I still stand by my statement, "Always amazes me that people who would feed a stray dog and even take him to the vet will cross the street to avoid a homeless person." I'm glad you aren't one, but you know those people exist and rather than take the time to try to understand the less fortunate's situation its easier to throw them all in one big group and call them lazy.

I just think that it is un-fair that the children should be held hostage over union negotiations between teachers and the District. Plus I believe that the teachers union is getting way to big for its own britches. Look what happened to the carpenters union and developer's ! Now most carpenters are from south of the boarder and English is a second language !

I have no experience in this area, but how are you relating this to the Democrats?

When You were put into your chair, Did you expect The Government to come and give you a job and to set you up for life, did you feel that they owed something to you ? No ! I didn't think so

No but when I saw how unbelievably the odds were stacked against me having a chance to achieve success I fought my a$$ off to try to level the field. I wish I was 24 again so I could keep fighting.

My frend, I think that you and I think more alike than not

I bet we'd get on famously but argumentatively.

[getalife]

Im just seeing if this works

[getalife]

Let me try again

[getalife]

OK that worked... now how do I quote someone who is quoting someone else.

[getalife]

I will never stop wondering why after controlling the administration and both houses for four years the Republicans never did anything about abortion.

What did you expect them to do, it is not up to them. The abortion issue will be settled in the supreme court. If Roe v Wade is overturned it will make it an individual state issue. For the life of me, I cannot understand why this is even an election issue... except that it is a tool the democrats use to drive fear into the hearts of the weak minded masses.

[Greg_Cornish]

except that it is a tool the democrats use to drive fear into the hearts of the weak minded masses.

LOL

[Greg_Cornish]

What did you expect them to do??????

Ummm what they promised to do? To pass a constitutional amendment banning it like the religious right was begging them to do.

[delta1124]

Is that sort of like how the Bush/Republicans used the word "Terrorism" to strike fear in the hearts of every conservative, telling people to go out and buy plastic sheeting and duct tape to protect themselves. Or how about the terrormeter, green, yellow, red days? The last 8 years have been a hand puppet show for them, they played a great hand, got nearly everything they wanted, and truth be told some conservatives see the writting on the wall for themselves and their agenda.

[Greg_Cornish]

telling people to go out and buy plastic sheeting and duct tape to protect themselves.

Oh damn, I bought all that to protect myself from aids. I never listen close enough.
