Crackpot theories from a sitting U.S. Congressman on Barack Obama

I promise we're not all Crackpots in Georgia. Although he's not my district's Congressman (I hate to admit that the idiot Westmoreland IS!) We had great democratic candidates to run against Broun and Westmoreland but unfortunately, we live in difficult, republican districts. The idiots vote for a republican even if they are those Crackpots on ballot! We are working hard for Jim Martin in the December 2nd runoff. We need help! www.ga3cd.com

Just asking.

See my post below .. "Broun cited for practicing medicine without a license in Georgia"

Does that mean maybe this one will get killed in a shoot-down, too? Just thinkin.

You can't say "I'm all for free speech but...." Either you are, or you are not. I don't care if you agree with the talk show dudes or not. The fact is that once you allow government to silence that group. Who is going to be next? If you don't like what they are saying, turn the station.

...when Alzheimer St. RayGun was elected. They had Manchurian candidates since.

Typical "front" for a Republican PAC; they even ripped off their name from an actual magazine. They published a copy of the driver's license of Muhammed Atta, one of the terrorists of 9/11, trying to link it to Obama. They're all up in arms right now about the runoff in Georgia, crying for donations. Pretty sickening stuff.

When first I signed on to it, it was more about medicine and such, and turned negatively on Obama sometime in July 2008. We, the people of this here USA, voted for Obama - with a landslide result - there is no doubt for us that we should give credit to a lot of Republicans that voted for Obama, including Collin Powell. It is terrible that a person who is in our Congress would have said such awful things - like another reader said, Obama hasn't even been in office yet... let's see how he does before bashing. I think most white people are afraid of seeing a black man as president. I tell people around here, when they start with their stupid jokes, that Obama is half caucasian as well, that usually stops their smears. The last 8 years was enough, our country needed and desires a change of direction from what we had.

No one from the Republican party made any further comments on that remark. Wiretapping is approved by Bush, without a requiring a warrant first, have people forgotten that? That is an invasion of privacy right there, an infraction of our Constitutional rights. A columnist from a local paper stated just after Sarah Palin was nominated, that the "opposition should fold up their tents" now. As if to say, that's it, we have won the election. Well, to me that is dictatorship and socialism. Funny, when they say things like that, we should not comment? Well, it's socialism I think when he said that for sure! It's only "socialism when Republicans are referring to those that oppose their views. Do as I say, not as I do, kind of mentality.

I agree that the republicans really screwed things up, but we still have to be careful of what lies ahead. Don't let go of the freedoms you have. Never do it.

If he gets watched any more closely we will be diving down his pores. What makes you think he will take away any more liberties than have already been taken away from us? Our telephone lines can be tapped and our e-mail monitored without warrant, remember? Our names can be placed on no-fly lists without our knowledge and without recourse. Our computers can be searched at border crossings. Our names can be wiped from voting rosters or invalidated because we missed mortgage payments. We are now forced to carry government identification to get access to the most basic of services. We have been forced to pay for a war we have not been able to vote for or against, and to bail out Wall Street giants who then turn around and use our taxes to hold high-priced "business conferences" at luxury hotels. I was held captive on an island for five days by my own government, unable to leave for any reason, and ever after that I was aware of increased numbers of surveillance aircraft in the skies over my home. When one of the political parties came to have their convention, their convention center was walled off by cement barricades, and there were police on every street corner within a ten-block radius, then police at every intersection for another ten-block radius. (It was our taxes as residents of the city that paid them, too, not the political party or the national government, never mind that we had not been allowed to decide if we wanted the convention and its added expenses.) Demonstrators were immediately jailed and held without the ability to consult an attorney for three days. Please don't tell me about the rights I might lose when I am well able to look at those I have lost. And here is an idea. Instead of freaking out over the liberties you think the president-elect is going to take away, why don't you wait and see if he takes any? Right now he's just getting his ducks in a row.

The right wing is NOT CHRISTIAN!!!

Ditto on the patriot act comment. Are Christians okay with the kind of torture that went on at Abu Graib? Sadistic Sex Maniac torture? Wasn't it the so called Conservatives who've spent us into oblivian and deregulated businesses to the point of creating the economic crisis we're in? What in the hell is so Christian about that stuff? The first amendment does not allow you to incite violence I believe which is what the right wing radio talk shows do. Those of us listening have every right to fact check and accuse those people of lying. Now here's what I was thinking today, if the so called conservatives (whatever that means...) have half as much of the fear and loathing I've been feeling for the last 8 years and yes, ever since Reagan then GOOD!!!!

Recall a little thing called the Patriot Act?

Your comments about taxing the shit out of people is utterly ridiculous. If you think that is the answer, you are sadly mistaken. How about talking about all the positives that Obama is going to add to this country. I really want to hear the specifics of his plan. What wil he do to help ALL Americans? Even those who are wealthy or conservative...yeah the ones you loath. Why don't you post some of those details. I want to learn about it. Really I do.

When you say things will change for the better, what exactly are you referring to? The fact that everyone will be molded into the same category...middle class. What does middle class mean to you anyway? Why should anyone work harder or achieve more if it means we will be put in that upper tax bracket? My brother is in that situation right now. His wife is a fantastic first grade teacher, but if she gets a job they'll be making over $200,000. So, basically she is not going to get a job because her salary will go to someone else. Should she work her butt off for free? I think not. These principals simply are not what America is supposed to be about.
