Sounds like a reasonable investment. Folks expect to get back a lot more with an Obama presidency. Might as well donate those tax-free dollars to Obama so he can give back even more.

Just a taste of the future. Obama will be involved in every aspect of our lives!

I will admit that McCain is not my first choice amongst all of the candidates from primary season. Do I admire him for his sacrifice during Vietnam? Hell, yeah. Do I think that he is a bright guy that is the best suited and most experienced of the two major Presidential candidates? Right again. Did I support him before the convention. Nope. Why would I support a man that brought us McCain/Feingold? George Soros thanks you for that one, John. My biggest beef with Obama is the fact that he and his subordinates will stop at nothing, and I mean nothing, to get elected. The ACORN stuff will more than likely be nothing but a drop in the bucket when it's all said & done. Where I'm at in Missouri, we've had several people get a $2300 charge put on to their credit card, paid to "Obama For America." Some are Republicans and didn't authorize these charges.
The court appointees will shock even you lefties with the total lack of regard to the Constitution in the years to come. The social programs that will empty our pockets and stifle any initiative will be laughable, except it's not funny.
Let's be real. Obama will probably win. All of you highly educated posters will get your wish, and we'll see what happens. You'll have to take the good with the bad, along with the rest of us. I will say this, though. If Obama gets elected, then he will be my President, and I will support him. I may disagree with every one of his policies, but I'm an American, and he will be our American President. I won't bash him daily, or joke about how stupid he is or call him a Nazi or any of that petty childish stuff President Bush has had to endure for the last 8 years. Our President will be a reflection of us, and we owe it to the office to treat the office with the respect it deserves.
Of course, the next campaigns will be right around the corner.

So, noodleboy, what exactly would you like me to back up? That Obama has a serious lack of experience? He's a one-term Senator that has spent most of that time running for President. Do you need to see the date at which he was elected?
Do you disagree that a governor has National Guard troops to deal with? Do you disagree that a governor has budgetary considerations that a Senator hasn't? Do you disagree that Palin has run her own business, or that she was also a local mayor? I can find all of that for you. Do you actually disagree that Obama's been saying that he's going to give a tax cut to 95% of the people, even though a huge chunk of them didn't pay any in the first place? Who wouldn't vote for a guy that will send you a free check? Sounds like a welfare check to me, and it's buying votes, pal. Do you disagree that eliminating the Bush tax cuts is a top priority of the Democrats as soon as they take office? What exactly do you want me to "provide proof" of? Be specific. Differences of opinion are, or at least they were, part of what makes this country great. Those were the "good old" days, eh?

Who really cares who Powell endorses? I care more about why this guy that has been an Obama advisor for quite a while, and then waits until 2 weeks before the election to give us this "great" news.
Sure, he's a millionaire, so it doesn't really matter if his income taxes go up now. He's set already.
As for Palin not having experience, that's bunk. Obama doesn't have the experience to head a Senate sub-commitee, much less the free world. Palin has headed a business, and a city government, and a state government. She's had to decide where troops would be utilized (National Guardsmen). She's had to struggle to balance a budget. Any governor running a state has run a microcosm of the federal government. A Senator is one of a hundred people that debate and vote. Obama couldn't even do that much of the time.
Lastly, don't fall for this "95% of the people get a tax cut" jazz. His first act will be to eliminate the Bush tax cuts. Everyone will have their taxes back up to the level they were in 2000. Then Obama will give us HIS tax cut. Will it be at the same rate? What about all of the non-taxpayers getting their votes bought with this welfare policy?
Anyone that ignores the enormous pile of crap that comes with an Obama presidency and still votes for him either is ill-informed or needs to go back on the meds.

I detest corruption from our elected officials, and this is no exception. However, how is it that Rep. Jefferson of Louisiana has never been prosecuted for having $90,000 in his freezer that was videotaped being taken as a payoff from a wealthy businessman? Could it be that, since he's a Democrat, and Speaker Pelosi promised that the Republican "culture of corruption" would be weeded out, he was just forgotten?
There's no place in Congress for either of these guys, and anyone that stands up for one and gives the other a pass because of his party affiliation should be drummed out as well.

As for one who actually visited Salispils concentration camp in Latvia, I'm sure glad you think it's a joking matter. You're a stitch! History isn't some pretty little picture you tie up with a big, pink bow. Some of it is awful. There's an old saying that some of you GED drop-outs may have never heard. It goes "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." You're not forced to read newspapers. You could just sit at home and read "Audacity of Hope" over and over again until happy days return in November. Long live the King!

Please don't believe the hype that Republicans are going to riot. They're the ones with jobs that will have to support all of Obama's (and the veto-and filibuster-proof Congress's) hairbrained ideas to come. We'll all be working, folks! We don't have all day free to fraudulantly try to sway a Presidential election, like our good friends at A.C.O.R.N. Ask their former attorney, Obama. He needs us to go out there and earn money so he can tax us back to the Stone Age.
As for the soft, fuzzy McCain, being wishy-washy is what will ultimately cost him the election. Why else was he the Republican choice of the New York Times?
Don't shed any tears for Obama. He'll win...and we'll lose.

What I can't believe is that someone under the moniker of "gayzettesux" would grace us with his/her presence. If the Gazette is so bad, shove off! This paper was around long before you got here, and will be here long after they've published your obituary.
As for Dr. Coldsmith being stuck in the past, wrong again. He's a good man, using history to teach us about where we came from. If that means using the vernacular of the day, so be it. That's what they said back then. You're a doofus!

Seems to me that Mr. Sanderson made the best decision he could at the time with the most expert information to be found at the time. Please keep in mind that there a lot of elderly veterans that would have made that parade, rain or shine. Many are from the Greatest Generation, for Pete's sake! If it had been during a steady downpour, there's a good chance that some of these heroes would have come down ill. Someone could have been struck by lightning. Slips & falls would have been an issue. What fun would that have been, for anyone? You scholarly critics need to take a chill pill and realize that, while the Emporia Veteran's Day is important, it's not life & death. These vets have run that risk already. Now it's time to honor them while we still have them around.
