Saw a couple of Obama ads tonight. Sickening, but yes, honest. - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

He basically comes out and says (in the one where he's wearing a hard hat), "I'm going to make it a crime for companies to manufacture stuff offshore, and foreigners to import their goods to the U.S., so you can be guaranteed high paying jobs." Unbelieveable. No shame or beating around the bush, that's for sure.

History repeats itself. This time the market crashes and we elect Smoot-Hawley president.

In the other one a big banner says "Obama: Guaranteed tax cuts if you earn less than $250,000." Populism at its most crass.

You should leave the country. It will make you feel better. Just try!

Yeah, this fits with your candidate's nativist protectionism and isolationism. Cali gets grumpy when I strip away the swashbuckling look and honeyed tones and cast Obama's message in their true, stark terms. Eugene McCarthy meets Smoot-Hawley.

The Dem Party has made a sad turnaround from the time Gore smoked Perot on Larry King over free trade. Listening to Obama talk protectionism is like listening to someone argue that the world is indeed flat.

Clinton guaranteed a middle class tax cut as well. Obama will follow like Clinton did.

Cool. Look what it got the auto industry. $60K to put lug nuts on a new car. Now they are looking for a bailout. Sounds like a winning strategy. Unfortunately, many Americans believe this crap......including Cali. What surprises me about Cali is that if he graduated from BYU, I would think he could get a well paying job and not be looking for handouts. I guess I was wrong.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
