I am not surprised by the ignorance of the posters here. Is it any wonder Palm Beach County is the laughing stock of the country when it comes to elections.

I cant believe what you idiots will base your vote on.

The reason for so much security? Read your posts idiots, you project a deep hatred with strong racial over tones. Some of you wack jobs probably dont know you were watched the entire time Obama was in the county.

Doctor’s? Your kidding right? When the AMA starts kicking the quacks in your fraternity to the curb and has thier licence to practice revoked, I will give you some support. You know what I am referring to.

Trickle Down Economics is coming to an abrupt ending. Time will tell, but it is painfully obvious the current model is a dismal failure(the nation is bankrupt).

This county cant even decide a Judgeship election, what the heck is going to happen in the Presidential election? County Comissioners, wake up, get off your fat butts, do your job, and quit looking for bribes to do it. Yes, I said bribes. PBC is easily the leader in corruption. These comissioners are wealthy,,,from graft. period. Kick them all out.

Change is coming, it is almost here, and you McBushies can kiss my arse.

OK—THE FOLLOWING COMMENT BY VP CANDIDATE PALIN DEMONSTRATES THE ENTIRE TONE OF THE MCCAIN/PALIN CAMPAIGN:
“I guess we gotta say, ‘Well, thanks for the warning, Joe,’” Palin said to cheers from about 2,500 supporters at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center. “But I guess the looming crisis … is Joe Biden’s next speaking engagement.”…………..
THIS IS”LEADERSHIP” …??? I THINK NOT. THIS IS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PLAYGROUND “NAH..NAH…NAH..”, “I’M RUBBER–YOU’RE GLUE—IT BOUNCES OFF OF ME & STICKS ON YOU” .. (WHICH, OF COURSE WE MIGHT EXPECT FROM A BEAUTY PAGEANT CONTESTANT,WHICH PALIN WAS….AND WE KNOW THE INTELLECTUAL PROWESS OF MOST BEAUTY PAGEANT CONTESTANTS, EH???)…
BUT - NO, THIS IS NOT LEADERSHIP. LEADERSHIP DOESN’T DERIDE & MAKE FUN OF OTHERS.LEADERSHIP INSTEAD CHOOSES TO CONCENTRATE ON CREATING POSITIVE CONSTRUCTIVE IDEAS FOR CHANGE & IMPROVEMENT.THIS IS WHAT THE OBAMA/BIDEN CAMPAIGN HAS CHOSEN TO DO DURING THE ENTIRE COURSE OF THIS ELECTION.
THE MCCAIN/PALIN TEAM HAS, DURING THE ENTIRE COURSE OF THE CAMPAIGN, CHOSEN INSTEAD TO IGNORE THE ISSUES THAT ARE SCREAMING FOR ADDRESS, AND INSTEAD CHOSEN TO ACT LIKE 13 YEAR OLD BULLYS IN A SCHOOLYARD AND TAUNT AND LIE ABOUT THEIR OPPONENTS. IS “THIS” WHAT YOU AS AN AMERICAN WANT IN A LEADER ….?
THE LEAST OF ACTIONS IS BETTER THAN THE BEST OF INTENTIONS. OBAMA AND BIDEN DON’T CLAIM TO BE PERFECT OR INCAPABLE OF MISTAKES, BUT NEITHER DO THEY ACT LIKE SPOILED LITTLE RUFFIANS IN A PLAYGROUND.
THE LAST EIGHT YEARS HAVE DAMAGED OUT INTERNATIONAL STANDING MORE THAN ENOUGH. WE NOW FACE A LONG ARDUOUS TASK OF REPAIRING THE DAMAGE THE BUSH REGIME HAS LEFT AMERICA WITH, AND BEGINNING TO BUILD POSITIVE, NURTURING GLOBAL RELATIONS IN THE FUTURE–WHICH WILL ALLEVIATE THE IMPETUS AND REASON FOR TERRORISTS TO EVEN ARISE IN THE FIRST PLACE.
IF MCCAIN AND PALIN WERE IN OFFICE AND GUIDING AMERICA’S FOREIGN POLICY, WE WOULD SEE AN ENORMOUS AND UNSTOPPABLE RAPID ESCALATION IN TERRORIST ATTACKS AND RECRUITMENT.

dr rick,

what your a doctor and cant afford your own health insurance?? you poor baby, maybe you will die on a golf course somewhere because you dont have insurance. should we call the waaaambalance?

Dr. Dan, I most-certainly have health insurance! And I have a damn-good plan, but it doesn’t rival that of the folk in Washington! Who but those elite have a mere $100.00 annual deductible and then 100% coverage for medical/dental? And how about that $1.00 prescription plan that covers ANY drug?

Senator Obama is just talking the talk about his plan to provide Americans with the same benefits! IT AIN’T EVER GONNA HAPPEN!

His real plan is a prime example of socialistic medicine!

I’d rather have McCain’s $5K tax-credit and buy reasonable coverage in the open market! Now that’s American Capitalism at its’ finest!

By-the-way, that ambulance you’ll likely be needing currently costs you $400.00 just to show up in Palm Beach County! God forbid you need to be Trauma-Hawked out! That runs thousands! But oh yeah, I forgot - you’ll vote for OBAMA and you’ll only have a $100.00 deductible with his plan!

NOT!

Can anyone deny that McCain has already proven that he’ll put his countries interest before his own? His actions, while a P.O.W. in service of our country, defending all of our rights to say whatever we want, no matter how stupid we each think the other one’s blogs are. Haven’t seen that in the massive 153 days of experience that Obama has accrued in service to the country……

By reading these post I see why our country is in so much trouble. All the campaigns do is tear down each other so that no matter who wins a large percentage of the population will hate and/or distrust the winner. How are we ever supposed to get anything done? I would love to go on to a post a read somebody saying “I’m voting for McCain because I think he has the experience needed” or “I’m voting for Obama because I think his energy plan makes a lot of sense.” Unfortunatley both parties operate with for the strategy of “divide and conquer” rather than “making a better future.”

HELLO!!! What rock are you sleeping under? Every time a political V.I.P comes through our area there are motorcades galore. This is the price we pay for voting in a democracy. So live with it. As for the doctor who said Obama’s medical plan is unrealistic, hello again, I have Tricare For Life, a wonderful plan afforded to our retired military and their families, it works doc. Obama, represents our future, hopefully we will be respected again in the eyes of the world. He has a hard job ahead…God Speed.

MCCAIN AND THE BARBIE DOLL HAVE LOST FROM CHOOSING TO USE LIES AND SLANDER INSTEAD OF ACTUALLY WORKING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS 8 YEARS OF ELITIST REPUBLICAN MIS-GOVERNMENT HAVE LEFT US WITH.

IF NOT FOR THE IGNORANT APE-LIKE FUNDAMENTALIST FASCIST REPUBLICAN REDNECKS WHO WANT TO KILL OBAMA–HE WOULDN’T NEED A LOT OF SECURITY.

THE RACE IS ALLREADY OVER AND BECAUSE OF MCCAIN’S CHILDISH IMMATURE TEMPER TANTRUMS THE REPUBLICANS HAVE LOST THE PRESIDENCY. OBAMA WILL WIN THIS PRESIDENTIAL RACE BYTHE LARGEST LOPSIDED VOTE IN THE HISTORY OF THE PRESIDENCY—AND THE MAIN REASON IS THE LACK OF JUDGEMENT OF MCCAIN IN NOT ONLY HIS CHILDISH BULLYING BEHAVIOR BUT ALSO HIS RIDICULOUS CHOICE OF A TRUE TERRORIST AS HIS VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE.
JUST PICTURE IF MCCAIN HAD WON–THEN DIED IN OFFICE–AND HE HAD THIS NIGHTMARE FASCIST BORN-AGAIN HATER PALIN AS PRESIDENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE WOULD MAKE HITLER LOOK LIKE A NICE GUY…………….

SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE WAS ENACTED FOR A REASON—FIGURE IT OUT ALL YOU IGNORANT FASCIST REPUBLICANS ……….

I was an undecided until recently. I hate the “party” people and can’t believe people vote Republican or Democratic and not for the person. Forget about the party. I don’t like the negative campaigning by either party, but this is politics, human nature and is orchestrated by the party. I don’t believe that any of the speeches or viewpoints are 100% that of the candidates alone. It’s all very well rehearsed and it’s up to the candidate to deliver the “party’s” message to the voter. Do I believe one individual has the power to lower taxes with a stroke of a pen? No way. I believe they both have a “vision” and it will be congress, lobbyists, advisors and powerful corporations who will decide the future course for America. It comes down to whom you like better and which one you think can be the most influential with congress and other world leaders. McCain was a reckless pilot and that gives me insight into his real personality. My decision was made when I saw a recent McCain interview on TV. He was laughing about the first plane he crashed in the ocean and admitted that he didn’t pay attention during flight school. He had no idea where the eject lever was located and searched frantically as the cabin filled with water. Lucky for him, he stumbled upon it in time and blew the canopy. it tells me that McCain may think he’s an invincible one man band who doesn’t need to be educated on a subject before making a rash decision (like Bush) and this concerns me. I want a President who asks tough questions, demands more information from his team and listens to many different viewpoints before spending billions of our dollars on a bail out or a war chasing weapons of mass destruction. McCain hasn’t impressed me and I think it could be another four very long years of Bush #2. I saw the same body language as an earlier poster and this concerns me about McCain. He could be very reckless, just like he was as a pilot. Obama is well educated, young, he has energy and he’s clearly ambitious. I also don’t think Obama will need a 3:00 nap and he’s got my vote.

If he wanted to keep a low profile, why didn’t he just use the gym at the Resort at Singer Island? The whole exercise, as is the case with most politicians, is just another photo opportunity.
