"All aboard for the magical trip to Change Land!" Have your tickets.
Don't wory about baggage that's not allowed. The big shiny boat will have everything you ever wanted. All the change in the world. After you board and get settled in your suite, then you are ready to go to work, as is the Captain of the boat, one Mr.Obama and his mystifyingly obtuse wife. Where is the meeting? Where is the Change seminar? What deck?

Oh now that you are on the ship, now comes the seminar, or actually the lack of it. All "Change" that was expected will occur on the captains timetable. The war? We are considering that and our options, but we will continue to sail along. The economy? Same progress. Housing crisis? Same again. The captain will get back to you now that you aee on the boat and have nowhere to go. Even the the lifeboats are inoperable.

But that's OK. That's what you swabs signed on for, a circular cruise in the middle of the ocean while Captain Obama gets the real story from the past administration, and as they board the helicopter smiling and waving back at Captain Obama, they know he will be sailing in circles for a very long time.

The kiddie deck for the younger passengers will have plenty to do after presented with the biggest surprise of the cruise. This will be the "Change Challenge" as the very people that Capitan Obama has selected to solve the housing crisis and the economy are handing out informational booklets and Powerpoint presentatons on the huge tax breaks going to homebuilders, the Real Estate industry, investment banks, financial institutions playing nice with Bernanke and his gang, and you will pay the bill. Of course Captain Obama will not be in sight.

It's going to be a lovely cruise. Just hope someone does not find a copy of "To Serve Man" somewhere.

4. You "Hillary people" LOL! What about YOU Obama people?
Talk about being bitter, cynical, jaded and jackasses who hate everyone who doesn't support their new personal Jesus.

11. This isn't about me caring who you support. I don't give a shit
Edited on Fri Apr-11-08 11:00 AM by Alter Ego
if you support Obama or not.

This is about you and the rest of the Hillary community constantly, CONSTANTLY shitting all over Obama supporters for the sole reason that we support him. No other.

He's not my personal Jesus--I don't believe in a God so that would be rather difficult to reconcile. He's my candidate, I support him, and I'm fine if you want to talk about his stance on this issue or that issue. But this--this crap and other threads like it--have got to go, on both sides.

Edited to remove "Hillbot".

15. I guess it's a case of "the mind sees what it chooses to see."
I leave you in your own fantasy world, then--you're obviously beyond help.

hahaha, it is odd how the mind works, isn't it? You could use a Jungian exploration, if it weren't antithetical to your stated positions.

24. And...
"fucking children" isn't a worthless insult?

I don't like either candidate. When the time comes I'll hold my nose and vote for whomever is the candidate. But I won't take a side in the petty bickering. But when people point out who terrible everyone else is why do they always sink to name calling and debase any argument by swearing?

12. Talking about the Clintons having all those piles of cash and where it came from
that's bashing.

This? This is just civil discussion of important issues!



DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE, OBAMA SUPPORTERS?

DO YOU SEE?

10. The sad thing is, that's exactly what people are signing on

for with Obama, at best. Worst case scenario could be a whole lot worse.

13. And for your convenience, the ship's infirmary has been reformed!
In our commitment to fundamentally reform the way the ship is caring for it's passengers, we've spared no expense in totally rearranging all the infirmary's furniture.

We're happy to be of service. Obama Girl will be signing autographs on the promenade deck. Photos will be available with her from 14:00 to 16:00 hours.

23. The problem with Obama's 'change' is that when he had many chances to change things he did nothing
The alleged abject corruption in Chicago is being uncovered once again by the office U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald - - millions, perhaps billions of money bilked from Teacher's pensions, housing for the poor in Obama's very own district, slum lords, hospital boards loaded down with the corrupt king pins ... the governor has been asked to step down, Obama's prior associates up to their necks in drug parties, and taped influence pedaling, and organizations established just for the purpose of stealing tax payer's money.

Obama had a chance to change all of this and did absolutely nothing.

28. Really?
This is what you're going to go with? That's all you've got? You don't want to take a few moments to add, I dunno, anything of substance? Can you maybe rise above petty namecalling wrapped in hamfisted metaphor to at least reach the point of parroting the latest Hillary talking point? No? Didn't think so.
