For those of us who aren't prone to delusional bouts of self-important bloviation,

Your comment is directed at one or more of your fellow SOS members. To whom do you direct this personal insult?

[Bobcat]

"For example.... 100 years ago.... Mr. Obama would not have been elected"

That would be true since a goodly portion of his support hasnt had the right to cast a ballot for that long...which is at least embarrassing.

even 47 years ago.

[fund razor]

The embarrassing part is not that certain people have only had the right to vote for 47 years, the embarrassing part is that they didn't excercise it in significant numbers until 2008.

Your not a liberal as I am not, so what would you call the chances and the probabilty of being elected the President of the United States ??

IMHO the media determines who wins and loses the average voter is lazy and won't look up records and rely on what they are fed as the truth

[catastrophe]

even 47 years ago.

Actually I was talking about 50% of the population.
Women have only had the right since 1920.

Interesting that people thought I was thinking about the black population though.

Shows a predetermined mindset.

If someone cant identify who a comment was directed at then it obviously wasnt personal.

On the other hand asking someone to keep his " BOY" on a leash I find disturbing.

[Birdog]

The real shame is....Obama,Palin,McCain....

This is the "best" we have for president ?

If we ever realized they are all crooks and quit fighting with each other we would have real change. The big parties will just keep us busy fighting with each other so they can contnue

Wait a minute.
Wasn't the 14th admendment in 1866?

I'd go even further...


Obama, Bush, McCain, Kerry, Gore, etc.

The only ones who actually have a chance of being elected are those who are imbedded into the corruption of the current two party political system with bribes and payoffs.

Just look at the amendments to the Health Insurance Bill to see who was bribed with what.....

How did we get our crappy Secretary of State? Same debt. Same circumstances.

Our secretary of state made a deal that she would step down from her run for the presidency if he would make her secretary of state.

Somehow I don't think that the founding fathers meant for the Constitution to turn into Let's Make a Deal.

And therein lies the real truth.

Anyone that can watch the video that Jay's pic is from and seriously wish for her to be Prez, that worries me far more than teleprompters, Bush or anything else.

Americans are now victims of one party or another. PUmped up by multi millionaire hate radio hosts, bizarre liberal lefties, you name the fringe group. There is enough written history, video clips, all kinds of written testimony and Congressional records to document this decade. The fact that people can make it up and others believe it, shows we have a problem.

Winston Churchill was pretty much spot on.

The quote certainly helped.

It almost seems as though he has returned to bear poking for the holidays.

You lost me.... Women received the right to vote in 1920 I believe.

Wasn't the 15th admendment in 1870 the right to vote?

[Ratickle]

Actually I think this is a pretty level thread considering the topic.....

[Ratickle]

Wasn't the 15th admendment in 1870 the right to vote?

The end of the long battle: the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in August, 1920, granted women the right to vote in all United States elections.

[Ratickle]

Black Men won the right to vote in 1870....

[fund razor]

Wasn't the 15th admendment in 1870 the right to vote?

14th must have been citizenship. Was going from memory.

[catastrophe]

Correct

And I would look under the 19th amendment

Great we are all here now. This will be a red letter day.

Agree with you 100%
