Danoinark Posted September 12, 2008 Posted September 12, 2008 Dano: Could it also be that Obama votes with what American voters see as a direction (if any can be determined ------------------------------------------------- I would say that I am not pleased with any Congressman if he votes strictly along party lines. I like non partisanship in my leaders. I feel that way I know they can think outside the box. McCain has shown in the past that he can do that. I really am more concerned who is elected to Congress than I am who is President. I am also concerned who the President hires and appoints because they are the real policy makers. Ideally there should be equal numbers of Congressmen and Senators from each party. Ideally there should be no political parties. That was the wish of George Washington.

LostMyWife Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Being a native of IL it really upsets me to see this man running for President. He started running BEFORE the election that made him a senator in IL. He was elected to this position because the republican party leaders in IL are complete morons and put forth a candidate with the same last name as the man that was to be indicted as soon as he left office. Ryan was what stuck out. Then they did not back the candidate that they put out there due to a sex scandal. Next, we find someone that does not live in IL to run. Nice move guys. Obama could have won this race without spending a dime. So I apologize for the inept republican leadership in my state that has saddled us with a senator that has no experience in his current office, and very little that qualifies him for the office he now seeks.

hfdhoosier Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 LMW: I agree, look at the mess Illinois is in. I hear there will be no Game Wardens this year and no pheasants at Carlyle because our Governor cut the DNR budget. Good example of Chicagoland politics and thats exactly what we will get with Obama. He is definitely not a friend to the outdoorsman. I cant believe some of the beliefs that Obama will be good for our fishing future. We need pro hunting and fishing politicians in office.

jdmidwest Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 He did come down and commemorate the World Shooting Complex at Sparta. But for the most part, Bagosh bloa itch or whatever his name is has been pretty worthless. Good thing he is across the big ditch.

jdmidwest Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 I really can't say on here what friends from IL call him. Read between the lines. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson

soggyfeet Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Several people on here have said not to listen to the TV, radio, or the newspapers, but to listen to the canidates them selves. One thing everyone needs to remember is that listining to the canidates is probally the worst source of information. They will tell you what the voters want to hear. If you really want to know who to vote for (and it looks like alot of people have plenty of time on their hands) go look at both canidates voteing record for the duration of their time in congress. That will tell you where they stand. I understand that McCain has been there for 20 or so years so it will take awhile but obama only has a few months under his belt and shouldnt take to long. Brian
LostMyWife Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Governor Blagojevich Hint Time Who has NEVER spent a night in the Govenors mansion becasue his wife HATES downstate IL? Who flies, on the taxpayers tab, to Springfield from Chicago to work? Who was elected by the Daley machine to promote Upstate IL? WHo decided that the minimium wage in IL needed to be one of the highest and fastest growing int he free world? Who tied up the budget to get a bad health care plan forced down the throats of the businesses in IL (unsuccessfully) Who shut down the state in the process? Who had casued the peole south of I-80 to considerer seceding from the satte to form the "Real State of IL?" Who lives in an area that can turn out 109% of all registered voters to vote in an elections? Who make it almost impossible to run a small business in the State of IL? WHo's lack of tort reform has driven many of the doctors out of the state to rpotect themselves from hugely inflated insurance costs? Nope, I am not bitter at all. LMW Yes, I'm That Guy
