Who would have thought?


Saturday, November 1, 2008 6:37 AM PDT

Who would have thought terrorists would use airplanes as missiles?

No one ever imagined the levees would fail! Who could have predicted that illegally occupying Iraq would require trillions of dollars? No one could have ever predicted the Iraqi "insurgency!" Who would have thought that there was a housing bubble? Who would have believed that the U.S. could go bankrupt in only eight years? Who would have thought Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib were illegal? Who would have known that you can spy on Russia from Wasilla, Alaska? Who would have known that "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran" was written by a former POW? Who would believe that the Lodi News-Sentinel would support McCain-Palin for four more years of the Bush Doctrine? Heckava job, Lodi News-Sentinel!

Please vote for change. Please vote with our grandchildren in mind. Please vote for Obama-Biden — a new direction for America.

" Anyone who actually believes that God gets a vote in our elections or in any way controls their outcome is gravely misinformed as to what God will and will not do. He has given all of us free will (individually and collectively) to do the right things and the wrong things. Regardless of the how this turns out two days from today, one can only hope that our prayers are heard when we humbly ask Him to guide whoever we foolishly or wisely install as our next President. "

" And who would have thought that someone who refers to an experienced state governor as a "rookie" wouldn't think the same (or less) than a man with far less executive and leadership experience who desires to be the President of the United States?

And who would have thought that nearly half of the American people supporting such a man have had half (or more) of their brain matter sucked out without anyone ever noticing? A very strange phenomenon indeed! "

" And who would have thought two weeks ago while Obama and Biden were probably ordering new furniture for the West Wing that the tracking polls would be reporting a dead heat just three days before Election Day? Who also would have thought that enough Americans would support a guy of which we know practically nothing - nothing!

Everything that we "should" know of Obama has been lost, sealed or just plain locked up. Nope - we (the People) don't need to know who this guy really is. All we need to know is that he is the agent of "hope" and "change."

But who would have thought that this so-called "hope" and "change" mantra perpetrated upon the American people would be suddenly diminished to the point of near non-existence - by the "agent" himself. Oh, but he'll get a pass "if" he wins on Tuesday. He'll be able to recall this very moment in time when he warned us that all of the hype surrounding hope and change was all a myth; and he'll get away with it because he'll insist that he confessed to the sham "before" people cast their votes.

Who would have thought? "

You'll find that a lot of military personnel do not see war as a first resort; they'd rather see diplomacy used first and war only as a last ditch effort. Unfortunately, I've come across some articles that say the chimp wants to be able to use **nuclear** first strikes. Ye Gods! I think he should be able to pronounce the word before he can use this! "

Amen. Great letter, Bill.

We bombed Syria last week and Pakistan again this week. Voting for a candidate who finishes every speech with "FIGHT, we need to FIGHT... FIGHT" is down right scary.

I am married to a Vietnam Vet who also believes war is really not the answer. "

" Who would have thought that people would support a man who is willing to pull our troops out to save a buck and be willing to legalize illegals, which in turn will open the door for terrorists to enter our country? Who would have thought that so many would be blinded by a man just because he promises change? Unfortunely it looks like you people are going to get what you asked for..complete destruction of our now safe home. He is a terrorist in disquise and he will destroy our country. "

" Who would have thought that with such a questionable past, so many people would be willing to vote for Obama? Who would have thought that someone who worshipped in a church run by Rev. Wright would be able to run for our president of the U.S.? Who would have thought that someone who cannot or will not produce his birth certificate would be accepted by so many? "
