Matt, I have an idea......

[bentone]

you guys are killing me. Very entertaining. Although I do agree. But thats all Im going to say. How about those Tige boats, I hear they can make a wave on both sides. Any more talk on a tige reunion at powell in 09? There should be one held in the spring and one in the fall.

[dogbert]

Anybody know how to create a wave application on FacebooK? We could start a Tige wave.

You guys all just need to relax! Those of you that voted for McCain are now a minority since 52% of this country voted for Obama. How about you complain about what he has or hasn't done after he takes office? You need to support your President and at least give him a chance. Once he has been given a chance and doesn't do what you were hoping, THEN you can complain since you didn't vote for him.

Since you wanted McCain in office so bad, what did you do to help him get elected? Did you donate money? Did you donate time? Did you make campaign calls or go knock on people's doors? Kind of interesting that Obama had so many people helping him out and donating money in record amounts and McCain and the people that would be directly affected by Obama's tax plan sat back and just complained instead of making sure that "their guy" got into office, after all, it was a popularity contest.

Hopefully you all voted...

This is pretty short and worth watching it is also a fierce warning that took place 43 years ago. This is Ezra Taft Benson Secretary of Agriculture under President Eisenhower in 1965 on Socialism. He became president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints later in his life.






This is very long but I think you all will find it very interesting. Watch it when you have some time.

Well said TIMMY, If you did not get out and work for the cause and participate in the political process more than just voting I guess you don't have a lot of room to complain about what it is. Our problem in America is we have all become lazy. As a result our government is getting control and not us. We are allowing them to take control little bit by little bit day by day and year by year.

Yes and yes! Maximum allowances in both Pacs and as an individual! And I did my share of working 4 the campaign here.... not like it mattered here as my state is pretty hard core republican nationally. We did our part to put the republicans back in power...we're only sending one Dem. Just not enough

You know the sad part is, we'll do just that... but that other party never has and never will.

They just want the house and boat given to them. Pretty soon Charlie will be building boats for free or else.

Just trying to keep it light. To many people are taking this to serious and not getting behind our country. If he does a bad enough job we can vote him out of office somehow like we did with Gray Davis in CA. That of course would take the country telling the government they are fed up and not going to put up with the crap any more.

I think there is a need to be very careful with statistics. Look at the highlighted words. There was a great insurgance of votes from a minority that had never voted before.

I had a history professor that once said if you dont vote, you outta keep it shut. If you vote however it is your right to voice your opinion. I tend to agree with him.

IMHO, it is time to support the President where it seems appropriate and where it does not, work through local/state/federal government officials as deemed necessary. It might not be the perceptive case in everyone's book, but it is a government for, of and by the people as long as we the people speak up.

EDIT - it was actually 53% of the popular vote that went to Obama, it doesn't matter who voted in previous elections. I don't think that is a statistic, if you voted for McCain you are in fact in the minority.

First off, Calm the hell down son!!!

Secondly, here you go

Here's the best analagy I can give you. Go have your boat or car fixed by someone who knows "nothing" about boats or cars. Then share with us your experience. How about taking your Tige to Taco Bell and ask the cashier do a engine tune up. She says she can do it. She has all the right words. She knows what a muffler is. She has a dad and a brother who tell her everything you want to hear. She's good looking. She's very energenic very convincing. If we use similar fairness for the Obama supportors.......She's the right mechanic to fix your boat.

The part that kills me is everyone that voted for Obomination got suckered. The guy has done "nothing" in the past 7 years. Nothing! So, lets not call this man president elect, or President Obama.......His true title is President Nothing.

I'm starting to believe TV has truly made 52% of America brain dead.

I have been staying out of this, but I have to say something. Today's society is completely TV based. It's apparent by the way that all anyone young does is watch TV. The reason Obama won is exactly that reason, he bought more TV time and straight ballot voting. He also is not white, so he got a lot of votes that way because as Tanner pointed out they all voted for him.

Todays kids would rather watch TV then go outside and play catch, or wakeboard or swim or do anything. This is why I love seeing kids outside enjoying the air and the environment.

As a society there is nothing we can do. He is the president (soon) and we as a nation choose him. Yes, maybe you didn't vote for him, but we got him. If you don't like him, then in two years vote to change the congress so they don't agree with everything he says.

It is apparent that we as a society are letting the gov't take more and more away from us. We need to watch it or we will loose everything. So if you don't like it get out and vote, or stay home and shut up.

here is an interview of Tom Brokaw by Charlie Rose on 10/30/08:
ROSE: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.
BROKAW: No, I don't either.
ROSE: I don't know how he really sees where China is.
BROKAW: We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.
ROSE: I don't really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?
BROKAW: You know that's an interesting question.
ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational (sic) speeches, two of them.
BROKAW: I don't know what books he's read.
ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
BROKAW: There's a lot about him we don't know. *

hate to say it but he won cuz of his race.

here is some background on him,
The Senator's first name, Barack, is a Swahili name that has its origins in the Arabic language. The original Arabic root of the name (B-R-K) means "blessed." In Arabic, the root word is used in many other phrases to denote blessings and to describe people who are blessed:

Mabruk! = "Congratulations!"
Barakallah feek = "May God bless you"
Barakah = blessings from God (feminine version of the name)
Senator Obama's middle name is Hussein, which was his grandfather's first name. The name, of Arabic origin, means "good" or "handsome one." It is common in Muslim cultures for children (both boys and girls) to have a middle name which directly connects them to their father or grandfather.
Senator Obama's surname is not uncommon among the Luo tribe, one of the three largest ethnic groups in Kenya. They speak the Dhoulou language

Guess I should check my e-mail more often... this is a little late... but I still got a laugh.

'Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!

I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.

When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys.

They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!

He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink

He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!

"On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi"
He screamed at the pairs!

They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight,
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn't stand up and fight!

So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DON'T WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!!!
