ROFL =)
Thanks Nathan for the post.. I was in class and forgot to set my DVR.
Diana, you are a trip! LOL...
Thank You I missed it.I thought last nite after doing so much reading for hours I had a headache and had to go to my old faithful I always count on and knows it does it's job and what it say's it will do my B.C. Powder.Now I know for sure who my vote will be for because I believe he will do what he say's and will be there for all of us. I was almost sure in this last nite but still had a few questions in my mind.I web searched and Goggle and read and read so much. This morn I saw this and watched it twice. Thank You.I believe that Obama loves this country as much as McCain. Just McCain has had more of a chance to show what his country means to him. I believe from the bottom of my heart that once Obama is given the chance to prove his love for this country he will. I trust my heart in that and in Obama. I have prayed that I will make the right choice and I believe my prayer has been answered.
Did anyone actually watch the World Series this year anyway? I didn't watch the infomercial though because I basically hate watching infomercials no matter what it is for (like really, do I need some washed up actor telling me what shampoo to use) and plus I already voted and knew where Obama stood.
But hey, if he wants to waste a few million dollars of other people's money then he can knock himself out. It is sad that the two candidates can raise well over a billion dollars just to obtain a job that pays just over $400,000 while real American struggle . . . that reasoning is kind of silly.
BTW . . . how come the tax cut figure keeps changing each week with Obama's campaign? First it was 250,000 and then it changed to 2000,000 and then Biden said $150,000 . . . makes one wonder. Of course McCain does himself no wonders by still rattling on about Ayers and such nonsense. Oh well, I am sure the American people will vote and get what they deserve no matter which one wins but unfortunately I will more and likely have to suffer from their choices. Oh well, I just hope I am wrong and whoever wins will live up to their promises and move American forward.
Rebelrose,
Good to hear! I had to research independent sites to really distinguish the difference and put all doubts aside. At first I feared Obama was so many things that were just blatantly untrue, because I remembered over the last 8 years our government made us so scared of people who are different you can mistake one of your own as such. It really is atrocious that in the year 2008 our country still clings to bitter name calling as I have witnessed first hand from my own family. I not only have to read the half baked information on these blogs every day, but have a battle of whits with unarmed family members almost weekly.
darrick_04...i too have had to deal with my mother who lives in Willamsburg Va also. We talked last nite and I told her who I was almost sure I was going to vote for and she was very up-set.She is 80 and going very strong for her age and lives alone in a very big home, My father passed away at 54 with cancer. i know he would support me no matter who I voted for and both my sisters are going the other way. My middle sister who lives in Boone N.C told my mom last nite I have always been the black sheep of the family. My mom had to call her right away and tell her. She couldn't say it to my face cause we do not talk. I am not rich like her and only own 1 home to her 4 homes in N.C and 1 near Dolly World and 1 in Florida.I am low class to her.So I know what you are talking about. But I finally feel good about who I am voting for. I am not going by what everyone else says. I did all my reading for almost 9 hours yesterday. I decicded on my own. I feel good this morning and as soon as my son get's home from school and puts the water pump on the car I will try to make it to vote today and if I can not make it today I will be in the line on Tuesday. I will never put anyone else down if they vote for the other. Cause it is our right to vote for who we hope will be the best.

darrick_04,
Then stop reading your own post and instead just read the others. That would solve half of your problem. Just a thought. :)

Moms know best.
I have already voted and God willing, we will still be governed in 4 years rather than ruled. And as for the Obamamercial, I like the lines of the old song,"I've enjoyed as much of him as I can stand.
And when our tax cut is removed --- you are gonna pay more no matter what "The One" says.
Now I know for sure who my vote will be for because I believe he will do what he say's and will be there for all of us.

heaven8kids7grandrebelrose,
Bush is not running for re-election.
Parkerbrothers, I admire your tenacity, but I dont think you will get any converts here, but hey, keep trying guy. Along about the middle of next year, there will be a few who say "how could I have been so wrong". And some others that will say' "Don't blame me, I didn't vote for him", and many who love a winner will declare, "yep that's my guy. As the old movie serial cliffhangers used to say, we'll soon find out so tune in next week.
Aman cherokee2 I didn't watch it, because I'm sure when he's elected we'll see more of him on TV then any other president, because I think he really enjoys listening to himself talk. But I have faith in God that He will take care of me, not MY GOVERNMENT.
bellbuckletn,
I agree. I rest assured knowing my God will take care of me in all ways I need. As long as He is taking care of my "needs" I have no interest in the government taking care of my "wants".
All these temporary leaders can be tolerated much better when you know who your final permanent leader is.
Time tells all and Time gives all. I patiently await.
I honestly don't think who is president is as important as who is in the Senate and House. Pres doesn't really have much power if both of those are against him/her. The President can't end the quarreling between the parties, only those individuals can do that.
and many who love a winner will declare, "yep that's my guy.

cherokee2,
I watched a documentary on Hitler's following that would say the same thing even through the decimation he was bringing onto them. It proved your point very well.
Charisma if misused enables the nature of deception. Actually it provokes it and will usually be seen walking hand in hand with it. If the relationship is very long they will eventually be hard to distinguish one from the other and each becomes no less that the other.
I didnt watch, because I get so tired of him talking and talking yet not saying a thing. I am sure it went something like this "Its time for change" " weve got to come together and , there is hope" were gonna hope for some change" and "change for some hope" "You deserve affordable health care, hope and change" I am sure thats what went on for 30min.
Jaxspike,
The limit for the tax cut is at $150k now, but he is still saying thats 95% of Americans, so according to his calculator there must not be any people making between $150k and $250k.
I voted yesterday, so when were all out of work its not my fault.
If you are an undecided voter and have not watched the video posted in this blog, I invite you to please watch the video and read every comment posted here below it. After doing so please make sure you vote between now and Tuesday.
parkerbrothers,
I have been reading these blogs for a while and not commenting because I really don't care to get involved in all the bashing and name calling, but after reading all your comments I was amazed. It is one thing to have an opinion about who you are voting for, but you are just flat out rude to anyone who doesn't share your opinion. Everyone has a right to think what they want, and quite frankly your hateful remarks are probably not going to change their opinion. If you really are a Christian then you may want to go back and read over your comments and how they may come across to people. If you hadn't mentioned that God will take care of you I would've thought you had never stepped in church a day of your life. I just think it would be nice if you were a little more respectful of other people because God is the only one that will be judging, not you.
Vote for McCain if you want a replica of Bush. OK, I know I probably just started an argument here but I couldnt help myself. And I wont be reading this post on this subject because I'm sure I will get lots of replies that dont agree. But yall have a nice day anyway. :)

greasemonkey,
No problum mon. Obamy iz gona save uz awl. Chek yo malebocs. Hez da nex Rooserbelt.
Greasemonkey . . . what is sad is that Obama wants to cut taxes for 95 percent of working families when more than 40 percent of them pay no income taxes already so they are basically getting free money . . . at the expense of someone else. There will be 47 million tax returns with zero-income tax liability in 2009 under current law and that is one-third of all tax returns and those 47 million tax returns represent 96 million individuals.
What people also don't realize is that that the tax cut won't matter much to most families because it will just cover the cost of inflation that will occur under Obama's various plans plus the loss of jobs as businesses cut back due to higher taxes and higher prices. What good is a $500 tax refund check (or welfare check to some) when that policy has caused you to lose your job? I am not saying McCain's plan is any better because it is not . . . it is just as disastrous but all these people who are voting for Obama that think they are getting a deal and that his economic plans are better are definitely misled and naive.
Anyone can get on TV and give grandiose speeches and look pretty and tell you everything you want to hear . . . doesn't make what they say any more true.
You must not have children jaxspike.

titans_fan,
Sorry if my comments come across as rude. There is no intent for that to happen. However, I do know that as a general rule plain ole facts are almost always coming across as rude if they are not sugarcoated. True unmolested facts are basically just plain, cold, dry trueful statements and have a tendency to cut. I ask you to keep this in mind and possibly see it is not me doing the cutting but rather the facts themselves. Feel free to refute any fact I present but please leave off the sugar. Just like my cornflakes, I like the ones that are not sugarcoated. I will never mistake the effects of your facts that I might feel with being you personally.
I agree with you to an extent jaxspike, but SOMETHING does need to be done with this aweful situation everyone is in. What I don't like about McCain is that he has all these "grand" ideas but I still haven't heard where all the money is going to come from to make it happen. He is planning on giving a tax cut to the rich and presenting no tax change to the middle class and poor. The math just doesn't add up. I just don't understand why we can't find a perfect candidate to run for president out of all the people in our country. I guess that's just the way politics work - they are all corrupt and owe favors to the rich companies who have helped them out in the past. Just my opinion though ...
However, I do know that as a general rule plain ole facts are almost always coming across as rude if they are not sugarcoated.

I could understand this but leaving a comment like "mothers know best" and "No problum mon. Obamy iz gona save uz awl. Chek yo malebocs. Hez da nex Rooserbelt." are not facts to me. I am not trying to defend anyone here I just know that if I were the one receiving these comments I would not have much respect for you.
Jaxspike,
I heard somewhere yesterday, and I havent had the time to check out its validity, that if Obama is able to implement all of his tax plans then in California there will be a tax bracket that pays 101% in taxes. Thats including state and federal.
I have to agree with Nathan, please please please vote, regardless of who you vote for.
No, I dont have children.
Why, does that make my opinion less valid?
If you hadn't mentioned that God will take care of you I would've thought you had never stepped in church a day of your life.

titans_fan,
You remind me of a comment I heard one time. "He can't be much of a Christian. It's 11:00 Sunday morning and he does not have on black winged tip shoes."
I remember a time and an era to where you really could not be perceived in the eyes of others as a Christian if you did not have Brylcream in your hair and black wing tip shoes on your feet between the hours of 10:00 - 1:00 on Sunday.
To give you a fact that a hope you do not perceive as rude again I must enlighten you to the fact that setting a foot in Church is not a prerequisite to being a Christian. I have met many people who have never set foot in a Church and have a much better understanding of the plan and gift of salvation than even more people who have never missed the doors opening have. I am just glad a lot of the later have not spent as much time in their garage. It might be embarrassing to watch them fill up at the gas pumps.

She is probably right. You would have a lot better chance of getting it to fall for her deception.
However, you might get Disgusted like her when it will not talk back with you. She seems to be relating experience.
parkerbrothers,
I was not implying that you had to go to church to be a Christian because I strongly disagree with that, but your statements and judgements seemed far from Christian-like was all I was saying. I'm not saying I'm anywhere close to being the person I should be, I just wanted to let you know how other people may perceive your comments, and even though you probably will never admit it you know I'm right on that part. I am ending this conversation at that because this is exactly why I don't get on here and comment. Everything always gets blown out of proportion. I just think it's sad how our country is being split in half over an election. My parents always vote republican and don't even research the 2 candidates - which I think is extremely sad. I just didn't see why you had to comment on someone who didn't agree with their mother. I've always said they should just do away with the 2 parties so that people have to vote on the person not the party. But here I go getting on a completely different subject without meaning to. Anyways, I will not comment anymore and I wish you the best (God knows we all need it with the shape our country is in!)

titans_fan,
I actually agreed with you already on your comment about possible and likely perception of my comments. As I told you I know I can come across rude when all you can virtually see of me is some words typed on a screen that leave the mind open to the imagination of how they are intended. Also as I said and admitted earlier I just do not have the charismatic skills of sugar coating a statement. I just simply state facts as I believe them. There is no real emotion behind any statement I make and none are meant to be perceived as anything rude. I do however admit again that there is no doubt they can very easily be taken that way in the manner I type. Luckily most of the people that are dear to me know me as I am and not as I type.
Typing leaves a lot of room for a wondering imigination.
What ever!!!!!!

Don't worry parkerbros, with your rude comments posted on here and your five counts of felony assault pending we have a pretty good idea of who the real Marvin Parker is.

nathan.evans,
As I have said earlier, I apoologize if you take blunt comments as being meant to be rude. I do realize we have reached an era in time where being honest about your opinion can be considered and easily taken as rude if you do not sugar coat it.
Any body that does actually know me, knows quite well that I am nothing more than just plain spoken.
Nathan, you honestly know about as much about me as you do the financial markets in crisis.
You know, I have a hard time seeing how you do not see how your comments could be taken likewise as rude if someone did not know you personally. Just read your comment on here. Anyone could easily think you were being nothing but rude when you probably do not intend it to appear that way?
We have discussed various issues of interest on here and as I have honestly admitted, I think you are very misinformed on most of the issues and are forming your opinions about these various issues by basically just reading about something from a source you can choose.
This is the second time you have raised issue about the pending charges I am having to deal with. I would like to see what you think you may know about our system. I have seen what your opinion is as to how other various systems work including the financial industries, social programs and other matters and have honestly told you I think you are misinformed. But I am curious as to how much you actually know about our legal system here.
Do you have any idea how easy it would be for anyone to have you facing 10 counts of felony assault before the sun sets today if that become a goal to accomplish? What do think is required of somebody to place you in that predicament?
I would like to see you answer right off the cuff within a few minutes but understand if you must read up on someone elses' opinion as to the requirements.

Warrants charging Marvin Parker with five counts of aggravated assault were filed by James Smotherman, Jr., Gary Epperson, Christopher Smotherman, James Smotherman, Sr., and Karl Duke, which claim Parker attempted "to run over several of the patrons and did strike and injure one individual requiring medical treatment and extensive damage to his face, arm, leg and back that will require corrective surgery."
"The other affiants narrowly escaped being struck and suffered cuts and scrapes to their persons," the warrant states. "One of the individuals was a 12-year-old child."
According to the police report, Wilkerson observed a large crowd near the alleged incident and was told that Chad Smotherman was the victim of a vehicular assault by Marvin Parker. While Wilkerson and officer Mike Davis were at the ambulance, "we received information that the Parker Brothers were attacking Jim Hastings."
The report also said that Mike Parker attempted to strike Hastings with "a pipe-like object."
The officers went to the Parkers' pit area to attempt to learn what occurred, the report states. "While investigating said offenses, Mike and Marvin Parker became enraged at Hastings for no legitimate reason and began striking him with their fist," Wilkerson wrote.
The officers reported that they "deployed chemical weapons" and used physical force to extract Hastings from the alleged assault. "Marvin Parker was physically combative and verbally abusive toward Hastings and officers," Wilkerson's report said.
During the hearing on Thursday, defense attorney John Norton cross-examined witnesses at great length about what they saw that evening. Norton attempted to assert that the Parkers were in fear for their safety from an angry mob and asked witnesses if they observed anyone throw objects or pull a knife on the Parkers.
Duke testified he saw Smotherman struck so hard by Parker's vehicle that he "flew threw the air." A member of the pit crew, Gary Henderson, stated that he saw "banging" on the track between the Smotherman and Parker cars and stopped Marvin to ask why he was doing it. Henderson said that Parker said nothing and instead gave him an obscene gesture.

Nathan Evans,
Thank you for posting the commercial. After watching this, any and all doubts about Obama wanting to help the "working middle class families", should come to a rest.
nathan.evans,
Is that your answer? As I have said before I believe you draw from some sources you can choose to read without actual experiencing anything but you do not have to prove it so easily for me.
Again, is that your answer and all you know before I honestly tell you that you are misinformed about this system also?
I will wait for the jury to decide, but from what I am reading though you don't have a whole lot of wiggle room in this matter. Either way someone was injured badly and witnesses are pointing the finger at you.

Honestly Marvin, I don't really care about your court case. I don't have a dog in that hunt. However, I happen to agree with some of the other comments on these blogs that point out that you are rude and obnoxious. When you attack the character of others, do not be surprised if they attack your character in kind. I am not proud that I have stooped to such tactics, displaying your pending trial for all readers to read, but you are indeed a special case because it is not a one time occurrence for you. Daily you flame others without the slightest notion of diplomacy or politeness. You don't really help your argument when you present it in a manner that disrespects others, no matter how correct your argument is. I, and probably most others, choose to ignore the things you say, writing them off as nonsense from a disgruntled and ill-tempered windbag. Say what you may about me, as I am no angel either, but I don't make a habit to go out of my way to constantly belittle others and their beliefs. There have been issues that I have made a point to mention that you are correct on, but you, like myself, do not have all the answers and are not always correct so try to be a little more humble and a little more open minded.
I will wait for the jury to decide, but from what I am reading though you don't have a whole lot of wiggle room in this matter. Either way someone was injured badly and witnesses are pointing the finger at you.

nathan.evans,
Thanks for doing the right thing and waiting for the proper venue to decide such a matter although you do seem a little itching to give your opinion on it you may have formed from only a very limited amount and highly inaccurate source of information. Remember, newspaper reporters are paid a salary to get "a" story, but not usually paid well enough to actually get "the" story. Getting "a" good story is good for the newspaper business and I can live with that for the time being.
However, I am still interested in your knowledge of how the system works? I believe your opinion is probably going to be a lot like mine was before I got to experience it. Although I still believe experience is always better than reading about something this is one time I had rather just have "read" about the system and let the "experience" go to someone else. For the time being I can live with that too.
Back to the question you keep dodging.....Do you have any idea how easy it would be for anyone to have you facing 10 counts of felony assault before the sun sets today if that become a goal to accomplish of theirs? What do think is required of somebody to place you in that predicament?
Not a trick question. Just want to see if you understand this topic of system correctly or are you as misinformed as I was before the opportunity came to experience it.
I think the video shows that Obama understands the problems that the middle class is currently experiencing and intends to find solutions.
-- Posted by nathan.evans on Thu, Oct 30, 2008, at 4:02 PM
You honestly believe that? I can not find one solution of his that makes any sense. Unless the plan is to continue in the tradition of the last eight years and spend us into oblivion. All I ever hear is, "we have had enough the past eight years" yet Obama has promised to do worse. Of course he doesnt say that but to look at where he stands on the issues that is the only thing thats going to happen. Is it enough to just say the word "change" and it will happen?

Ok I will play your game. I have very limited experience with the criminal justice system, but I think that multiple witnesses, physical evidence, motive, and a police report written by an officer of the law would be tough for any person to overcome. Conspiracies between multiple parties are not unheard of, but usually involve money or personal gain for all parties involved. If I truly do something wrong, then I will take my lumps as I should. Many times though people try to get out of trouble by presenting evidence as to why they were enticed to behave improperly, but two wrongs does not make a right and you are still accountable for your own actions and reactions.

nathan,
As I said earlier it is no trick question and definitely not a game.
Although you seem to want to make it one to avoid a simple little question "you" generated by "your" post. You brought this up and I would like to see you be descent enough to finish what "you" made a decision to start.
If you think you can bring up false charges against me publicly and humiliate me into not discussing it or anything else you made a simple mistake.
Quite naturally I will not discuss any particulars of the charges I have to deal with that you have continually brought up. I choose that in the name of fairness to all parties that are currently and others soon to be involved.
But a minor detail of generalality I will discuss.
Remember Nathan, you opened the can of worms I choose to fish with instead of eating as you would probably want me to do.
What do think is required of somebody to place you in my same predicament?
parkerbrothers
Have you ever considered trying out for the part of "The Riddler"? You are very good at talking in riddles.
Dianatn,
No, I do not see a riddle in the question I asked. It sounded like a general question to me.
Do you consider a question a riddle because someone does not know the answer to it? If so I am asked a lot of riddles in a day.
I hope you do not take the question I just asked you to be a riddle. If it is I take the blame for not being able to ask a question in the manner you would like.
Sorry parkerbros, you take things so seriously. Try looking on the lighter side of things every once in a while, it makes life just a little more unique.
I didn't mean my statement to be a slam to you but obviously you took it as such.
Now beings you ask, a riddle is a puzzling question, a question raised for consideration or a solution.
Isn't that precisely what you ask for?
Dianatn,
I hope it was not a puzzling question? My intent was not to puzzle someone with a question.
I was hoping the question was simple and was actually expecting just a simple answer.
As far as looking on the light side I must say there is no need to look for something when you are sitting in the middle of it.
As you should remember and I can dig them up out of the archives if need be, I have said several times that one of the only things I do not like about discussing subjects on here is the fact no one can see anyones' true state of emotions that another person has on the computer screen.
I wish I had a dime for everytime the secretary gets to laughing at me laughing on these blogs. Even today we were both laughing so hard that she has to go outside to get away from me so we could both quit laughing. She reads these and thinks it is a hoot that everyone seems to think they know how I feel and know my disposition from looking at a screen.
Much like you thought that I thought that you were slamming me and that I was taking things too seriously. You are not taking things too seriously when you have an ear to ear grin on your face.
Perhaps we can all get those web cams and you could see my silly grinning face everytime you get to thinking that I am sitting here frowning. Or better yet I could just post my grinning head in a picture on here but you would probably want to start talking about films and Hollywood since I resemble Brad Pitt so much and you might forget about the subject at hand?
BTW . . . this was in the news today.

So I guess it's ok to hang a Palin effigy but you get arrested for an Obama one . . . both should never happen to begin with but yet we are seeing a double standard.
This is what I hate about this election and the bias that exist and the ignorance that lies among people.

You failed to mention the hanging Obama effigy was placed on the University of Kentucky campus. That's a little bit different than some whack job putting a Palin one in his front yard on his own property. I'm not saying I condone either one because I think the guy with the hanging Palin is a moron, just the same as the ones who put up the Obama one. I was just pointing out the difference.

-Thanks for the post nathan.evans, I'll have to look at it tommorow got to hit the sack.
-titans-fan you have notice correctly.
The Tempter/ Noun 1. tempter - a person who tempts others; "Satan is the great tempter of mankind" :

The Provoke/Provoker/Provoked:

Why should I have "mentioned" it . . . I think the article stated that fact several times? No matter where it is hanged, it still should be considered a hate crime but if you want to make excuses then that is your prerogative. The only difference is the fact that there is the option to expel the person from school while you can't expel someone from their home . . . the action though is still the same.
I'm not making excuses for anyone. I was simply responding to you said..
"This is what I hate about this election and the bias that exist and the ignorance that lies among people."
First off they stole the items used to make the effigy (burglary and theft by unlawful taking) and then it was placed on property that wasn't theirs (disorderly conduct). Where's the "bias" in that?
I missed it when it aired. I was working.
(insert your own witty comment here)
A Friend of mine directed me to this Blogspot I thought you all might want to take a look at..of course we all realize a blog is just opinions. But I guess this is probably one of the biggest problems I have with Obama
Be sure and watch the videos on this Blog.
Please do not mistake this post as me bashing Obama for what others think of him because that is not my intention at all. I just think we all should be aware of what other's are thinking.

I am confused . . . how can Joe Biden run for reelection to the Senate when he is running for Vice-President? Is that really fair to the other candidates or to the people of Delaware if Obama wins?

Dianatn,
Couldn't help but notice two of the captions on it by some rather well known supporters.
One was about adding a new chapter to the Bible by Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
One was about changing the time to B.O and A. O. for Obama.
Quite interesting.
Quite frightening.
What a bunch of weirdos!!
Who are they supporting???
Well I wouldn't go characterizing all Barack Obama supporters based on a couple of freaks that think he is the messiah. In the same fashion, I would not characterize all Christians by the actions of the Westboro Babtist Church or radical that bomb abortion clinics.
You are right, Nathan you can not characterize all Obama supporters in the same way if you could then you would be able to do the same with John McCain supporters (which there are some pretty good nut jobs supporting him too).
But you do have to admit there are some crazy people supporting Obama :>)
I just thought the Blog was interesting on their perceptive of Obama. I really didn't think anyone here would take it too seriously. I also think we should be cautious of these type of supporters who believe Obama to be the Messiah. When Obama is unable to produce the results these people think a Messiah should, will they turn on him? I believe they will be more dangerous than any racist, of course that is just my opinion.
I'm not making excuses for anyone. I was simply responding to you said..

Great point... and obviously no response. ;)
Maybe because I havent look back at this entry until now . . . have you thought about that darrick_04. Of course not because you are too busy being your usual belittling self.
Great point jaxspike.
Still no response... Belittling? What is belittling about saying "great point... and obviously no response?" If you can point out what is belittling about that I would be delighted. All I wonder is why you chose to respond to my statement rather than Go Titans' ?
