by REPUBLICANS FOR OBAMA
It's time for smart touch leadership and that will be provided by Barack Obama.
A number of prominent Republicans and the family members of Reagan, Eisenhower, and Goldwater openly endorse Barack Obama.
The United States faces many tough choices over the next decade. This Country needs a manager that will UNITE us once again.
Barack Obama is the smart choice, the right choice, the best choice for America.
As a true conservative that's what I believe.
Be sure to ask Sarah why she believes that the First Amendment protects her from Journalists and also, why she believes it is okay for her to attack Mr. Obama's Religious beliefs when such hate speech is in fact NOT protected by the First Amendment.

We also want to know if she believes that Dinosaurs walked the Earth with men 6000 years ago, and if it's okay for us to criticize her for it.
ksiffermann - "Johnevegas..Why are you a hater?...Love your rat pet ferrett."

Have a wonderful day! I know I will.
ksifferman..."Us working Americans are heading to work now....You go wait by your mail box for your welfare check."
I work on the internet and make well over $250,000 per year. I employ people in both my businesses and provide them all with a good living a great places to work.
I do this so I can sit here all day and wait for you to explain what you meant by your ferret statement.
Sorry you have to leave. I understand the blue collar life. Started there myself about 30 years ago. Now, I'm a rich computer geek from California who makes more money than you will ever dream about. Your hateful karma wont get you there either, so you've really got a row to hoe. So to speak.
"Have a great day!"
You too! I'll think about you sweating while I sit here on my fat ass in my massive house and check the polls every 5 minutes.
Compassion has done me very well. I get to have the money AND feel good about myself. Is that awesome or what???
ksifferman - Sarasota, land of loonies and at least one complete douchbag. You better check the lies you just told, they conflict with your earlier postings. Oops!
ksifferman,
Well since you hate ferrets and are pretty ignorant, why not kill two birds with one stone.
First, my zoologically impaired friend, ferrets have more in common with badgers than rats.
Second, I'm nobody's pet. I chose the name redferret, because that's my online tag. So next time someone in Halo 3 is pwning you and decides to tap/untap the crouch button a few times over your player's body, that's me (gamers will know what that does).
Third, ferret's are actually loved pets, but a little stinky and finicky. They probably cost more to own than a dog (minus vet bills), so they aren't exactly pets for the poor.
Fourth, if your pick is losing, chill out drink a beer and just let the next four years slide past you.
ksifferman "Dude you own a Ferret, you have a rat for a pet. Is that all you can afford with your 250k a year."
Ferret is my daughter's pet. Our Golden Retriever died 3 months ago of a massive seizure. Haven't had the heart to replace him yet. Miss him dearly. He used to say "I love you" really well.
"FYI, I live in Sarasota Fl, look at the demographics,hmm. I'm an estate advisor, 250k is chump change. I wouldn't spend a second with a loser like yourself. I would be proud to compare bank rolls..."
Don't give a crap what you make. Good for you! You said I was collecting welfare. I pointed out you were very wrong. I would have kept my mouth shut, but you righties keep pigeon holing me into something I'm not.
I am glad you make so much for one reason though. You will be able to afford the new taxes and not feel it. That's great.
"It's kind of creepy that you have a rat for a pet. How pathetic are you? Ya you feel good about yourself cuddling up to your rat ferret all by yourself. I already knew you were a geek, and a lazy fat ass, no explanation was needed for that, it was obvious."
Seems really mean spirited and judgmental. I don't think you know much about Ferrets. She's very nice and cute but not social like dogs. She has a sweet personality and likes to play (I don't think rats do that) with her toys, but that's about it for interaction.
"Why are you knocking blue collar workers? They are the back bone of your party, just like yourself?"
I didn't. Said I used to be one. You don't read too good (versus well). I'm better at creating new technologies on the computer than fixing pipes. I never criticized fixing pipes. Again, you said I was a lazy welfare recipient. Own your insults first and stop pretending I said something I didn't.
"Go eat another jelly donut, but you would be better off taking your rat for a walk, instead playing with yourself in front of the comuter all day."
Wow. Again. Well, thanks for revealing another secret of yours. Waaay T.M.I. Gross too!
ksifferman "Your stupid"
It's "you're stupid". And that's the only reply required at this point.
LOL, first he calls you a hater, and then all he posts is vitriol fueled by hater-ade.
It'll be a long four years for a lot of die-hard republicans.
redferret "ferrets have more in common with badgers than rats."
I'd rather be a badger than a rat. Yes I would. If I could. I surely would.
When we have sunk to hating people for their pets, we have sunk beyond where I'm willing to go. Though I am wondering about all sucking and biting insects in Siffermans back yard and what that might mean. He lives in Florida you know.
Hummm....what could it beeeeeeee.....
Sorry, no time for your nonsense sifferman. I'm taking the Ferret down to vote. ACORN is picking us up in a few.
She's registered as "Mary Cheney" because she's related to a rat (Get it!!!). She's got a picture ID just in case. I think she's voting for... wait for it....
