#1 Damn Al, a sign of the apocalypse - we agree on something - the 53% of fools that voted for the Messiah did wittingly (though probably not) vote for socialism. IMHO, if you were too stupid or fecklessly giddy to vote for this empty shirted buffoon you earned socialism. Congrats to the *ssholes who voted for Wonder Boy - you got what you deserved. Too bad the rest of us have to deal w/your lack of intellect and in the case of white libs - your white guilt complex.

#2 Unfortunately, Dull Al may be right. Ben Franklin warned of this... when the "volkes" would become so corrupt that they themselves wouild see tyrrany come to power in that they were no longer capable of governing themselves.

#4 I wouldn't call it "overwhelmingly". The popular vote was not much different than Bush's victory over Kerry.

#5 Yes Reverent Sharpton, we already got that message well before the election of President Soetoro from folks like Thomas Sowell, Ken Blackwell, Mike Steele, Allen West, Star Parker, Keyes, Doggett, and others.

Difference is, unlike you and Jesse, they all 'WORK' for a living, contribute to society, and thus command a high degree of respect!

#6 Gee, Al is more honest and open than CNN's Roland Martin about what is socialism.

#7 "I don't understand Republicans saying this is against the will of the American people," Sharpton said. "They voted for President Obama who said this was going to be one of the first things he would do and he has done the first hurdle of that tonight.

Yeah, well when the president says that he is going to force the passage even if that makes him unpopular and a 1 term president, then obviously he is talking about his opinion with the American voters and not his standing in congress.

Therefore, against the will of the American people. Furthermore, Mr. Sharpton, unlike you and your salesmen ilk who must maintaint the same message no matter what to stay relevant, average person has the ability to change their mind especially after a certain amount of time has passed, say a year and a half. Its like this: been out at the bar, had a few drinks, buddy says he'll drive. Sounds like a good idea since ya had a few...until you get to the car and watch your buddy drop the keys twice before putting the wrong key in the door. Second thoughts? You betchya.

#9 You got it wrong buddy. In your socialists dreams. A lot of people voted for Obama because they believed the "Hope and Change" smoke and mirrors talks. They were also pi$$ed because of the financial crisis. Don't forget Al, the people of Massachussetts struck a blow for freedom by dumping the Kennedy heir to the Senate throne and they elected Scott Brown. So I think you got it wrong.
