Who, do you dislike, aka listening to Joe Average voter on CNN?

Question

I am on my last leg. This account will die soon. But, ya know, fug it. This is worth it. I was just listening to Joe Average Voter on CNN. She said she hates Obama because he doesn't hate g**s.

Is this why you hate him? Why would Jesus hate him?

Answer 1

I don't hate Obama, or McCain, or any other politician (though I wouldn't give Bush the time of day.)  That would be a frivolous waste of energy.

Answer 2

Oh no, he doesn't hate g**s, and he's black, and he's got a funny name.

I can assure you that the rest of the world is begging you lot to learn from the current Bush debarcle and not elect that McCain moron.

Answer 3

I wouldn't vote for Obama, because he doesn't want to protect the unborn.  He wants to murder babies in the womb (abortion).   Then he voted in Illinois to murder babies that escaped abortion and were born alive.

And it isn't Obama the person that is hated.  I don't hate Obama.  It is his beliefs and what he stands for, that I don't like at all.

Answer 4

Good grief, I'm thinking of moving to Canada. Maybe rammy will rent me a room until I get on my feet.

Answer 5

I was talking to an old classmate last week, a priest actually, and he was saying that Obama presented a quandary for the U.S. bishops,  because he is right on all the social justice issues except for abortion.  I pointed out that he was talking about one, single issue, on which McCain's record is not all that reassuring either.  I also pointed out that allowing is not the same as doing and that abortions will happen whether legal or not, that legislation will not be more effective than education.  Despite all this, he responded that one bishop has urged Catholics to pray that Obama will change his mind.  Sheesh!

Closer to the topic, I just read an article about Cardinal John Henry Newman.  He's been dead for some time, buried in a small cemetery.  In anticipation of his pending sainthood, the Vatican intends to move his bones to a marble sarcophagus in the oratory church, in order to provide a more honorable and convenient place for pilgrims to visit them.  Only it seems the real reason for moving them is much more embarrassing:

There are times when I'm ready to give up on this church.  And I may just break down and vote for Nader this time.  With Biden on board, it's becoming clear that Barak is not all that wedded to change anyway, despite the hopeful front. I could see his troop withdrawal, and economic & healthcare reforms, taking ten years or more.

Sorry to ramble so.

Answer 6

Oh, that sow Ann Coulter is shooting off her big fat mouth again, eh?

Answer 7

I try really hard not to hate anyone. Being hateful doesn't solve anything. As for disliking someone - specifically in the political arena - I would say I dislike Donald Rumsfeld. The man just seems evil to me.

Answer 8

I'm just sick of the whole political scene.  Seems like it has been nonstop for to long and is only picking up steam.

Answer 9

Sounds about like a typical christian attitude to me . Nice to know how much love they have in their little hearts isn't it ? I expect you will see a lot of nonsense about her not being a true Christian and I bet a lot of those are just like her .

Personally I despise all party politicians because they LIE and are only in it for the ability to loot the public . We need all independents in DC .

Answer 10

I dont want Obama to be president because he is a democrat and a liberal.

I dont hold those same political leanings and dont think they are whats best for this country.

I am not that excited about McCain, either, but given the 2, I will vote McCain.  

oh look, you dont say you love Obama and you get a bunch of thumbs down for having your own opinion

Answer 11

First of all I like Obama.

Second, please tell me why your account will soon be deceased?

Third, Who is Joe Average Voter? Is it just the average consensus?

Answer 12

so you mean that you are a g*y. sorry I couldn't understand more

Answer 13

Jesus hates NO ONE - what He hates is the sin not the sinner.

We should try to be like Jesus and love the sinner too.  Our duty is to lead people to Christ not to hate them and turn our backs on them.

As far as Obama -

Senator John McCain could never convince me to vote for him. Only Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama can cause me to vote for McCain.

After long and serious thought, I have decided to endorse Senator John McCain for President.

I have always voted for the person and have not voted for anyone because some political party was telling me who I should vote for.

We all know the choices by now and, that said, I do believe that the process of selecting a chief executive is deeply flawed. The words "money" and "special  interests" come to mind, among many others.

Here's the way I see it:

Barack Obama, you are a fine public speaker. You are also an extremely liberal Senator from the State of Illinois, which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system.

You have finally insulted my intelligence far beyond my capacity to tolerate your insults. It has nothing at all to do with your skin color. As a matter of fact, it would be so COOL to finally have an African-American for President. What a great statement that would be to the entire world that we are indeed the greatest country on earth!

But, unfortunately, General Colin Powell is not running, and YOU are NOT the man for this job !

Barack baby, you want me to believe that you have never heard the sermons of your own pastor,the Right Reverend "God d**n America" Jeremiah Wright. It is a matter of record that this has been your church for over 20 years. It is a matter of record that you were married there by this very pastor, and that your children were baptized there.



The good Reverend saw fit to visit Khadafy in Libya with you and to give a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, of all people.

We have all now seen excerpts of his sermons all over the airwaves by now. And  you have publicly stated that this man IS your "spiritual  mentor."

BUT, your pastor is NOT the reason I am NOT voting for you. His words were disturbing enough, but it is your own HUGE church congregation, seen  jumping, hooting and howling to his words in the background that disturb me the most. And please don't tell me you attended church there and never once  heard a "discouraging word" in the 20 years you attended there. Don't tell me, that in addition to the good reverend, that you are now not having anything to do with all those other people seen hooting and howling out in the audience in the background of his fiery tirades. Even Oprah Winfrey got disgusted and walked out on your campaign. I am no Oprah fan, but still she did the right thing.

Now  you look me in the eye and ask me to believe that you never heard such language in all the years you attended there! This is like me  telling you that I attended dozens of Klan rallies and never once heard the "N" word. Yep. And Bill Clinton "did not inhale".

Yes, Mr. Obama, we all have friends who have said stupid things that embarrassed  us, but NOW you have asked me to believe something that is so incredibly stupid that you are telling me that I am just stupid enough to believe you. THAT is the main reason that I will never vote for  you.





I am deeply sorry, that in a country teeming with enormously talented African Americans who would make a good President, that the political system has chosen YOU. You are a pathetic and plastic excuse for an American, who will not even salute the Flag during the Pledge of Allegiance. God forbid you ever get near the Oval Office.

Which leaves us with Senator John McCain.

John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit looney, and you have a notoriously  bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble opinion, to lead us for the next eight years. I WANT your trembling hand on the nuclear  button.

Think about it.

We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like lunatics,  threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and rattling their sabers at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him to be really ticked off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.

John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something through a plate  glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it. I want ALL of these "world leaders" to lay awake at night and to break out in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of America.

I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your night  stand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran,  

Answer 14

What is being witnessed is the last fearful gasps of time worn prejudices. Those who hate, without justification, are a dying breed. They will not go gently into the night, but with time they will go. The old rules no longer apply. The sound you hear is the death rattle that is the servant of hate.

Always a pleasure to read your thoughts, Laptop. Stick around.
