YOU CAN’T HIDE FROM THE TRUTH!!

http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/o/obama-salute.htm

Obama has no idea what he’s up against.. Sen. McCain will rip him apart in the fall election if for no other reason than his obvious lack of Patriotism & Love of Country.

Even Michelle Obama only today has decided that she’s proud of her country………

What’s up with the audacity of that ?

McCain does not want Obama to run against him…he won’t stand a chance. No insane person would vote for a President who promises to keep our troops in Iraq! I have not heard MccCain say anything that has any substance…he is too much like of the same politics that we currently have in Washington.

Comments by Becky from Texas. I would assume your last presidental vote is why we are in the shape we are in …in this country! The media exploited her comments, and took out of context. Any intelligent person could read through this. Obama is getting too much attention and the thought that the US could have a African American President scares people…and it probably scares you!

All either Democrat has to do to win against McCain is run george Bush Jrs ads from when he ran against him. He made McCain look like a crazy unloyal hot tempered fool ,and Mccain s wife as a druged out wacko ! A 71 year old out of touch war monger is not going to be a shoe in .He cant even carry the Huckleberry crowd. Thats the loyal Republician base. But than again he has the support of Bush 1 and 2 ,the most popular american Presidents in History NOT.

CIGARETTES
A cigarette burning from the end of a holder became the trademark for Franklin Roosevelt. Warren Harding, who utilized every tobacco product, also found no problem lighting up whenever and wherever the urge struck him.

Howard Taft kicked the cigarette habit after his election as president. Dwight Eisenhower who rolled his own, sustained four packs a day, but quit cold turkey before his presidency. Lyndon Johnson used three packs a day until his heart attack forced an end to the habit.

First Lady Grace Coolidge kept her habit a secret.
Pat Nixon stopped smoking in public during her husband’s congressional campaign of 1946. The ever-adventurous Eleanor Roosevelt began lighting up at White House gatherings however; claiming women had as much right to smoke in public as men. Mamie Eisenhower, Jackie Kennedy, Betty Ford, and Nancy Reagan also smoked cigarettes. Helen Taft smoked in her youth, but quit shortly after her marriage as did Laura Bush.

I don’t understand why Obama wants to be president of the U S when he and his wife don’t even respect this country.

Obama refuse to even say the pledge of alliegence and his wife says that she has never been proud until now to be an American. If Obama can’t even respect the United States enough to say the pledge of alliegence, then what makes anyone think he would be a good president? It sounds so hypocritical. I suppose if we are proud to be an American we will vote for the person who is also proud and respects this country.

McCain is already destroying Obama.
He has already made Obama publicly waffle on Public Funding for Novemeber.
He has made change seem shallow.
He has made speechs that simply have more substance and character to them then Obama.

Most importantly he can say more and better in half the time Obama says nothing in.:)

Obama now has a rough road ahead. We could very well be wasting time with the wrong DNC winner. But thats ok as neither of them can beat John McCain in November.

ohio lady
And just what different politics other than the first muslim half white half black president would there be? Honesty, forget it . He can not be honest enough to call himself biracial or correct people when they call him african american. Hope ? I do not need hope. Hope is not definate. There will be no change in politics.

Thought you might like this one….

I bought a bird feeder. I hung

it on my back porch and filled

it with seed. What a beauty of

a bird feeder it is, as I filled it

lovingly with seed. Within a

week we had hundreds of birds

taking advantage of the

continuous flow of free and

easily accessible food.

But then the birds started

building nests in the boards

of the patio, above the table,

and next to the barbecue.

Then came the poop. It was

everywhere: on the patio tile,

the chairs, the table …

everywhere!

Then some of the birds

turned mean. They would

dive bomb me and try to

peck me even though I had

fed them out of my own

pocket.

And others birds were

boisterous and loud. They

sat on the feeder and

squawked and screamed at

all hours of the day and night

and demanded that I fill it

when it got low on food.

After a while, I couldn’t even

sit on my own back porch

anymore. So I took down the

bird feeder and in three days

the birds were gone. I cleaned

up their mess and took down

the many nests they had built

all over the patio.

Soon, the back yard was like

it used to be … quiet, serene

and no one demanding their

rights to a free meal.

Now let’s see ….

Our government gives out

free food, subsidized housing,

free medical care, and free

education and allows anyone

born here to be an automatic

citizen.

Then the illegal’s came by the

tens of thousands. Suddenly

our taxes went up to pay for

free services; small apartments

are housing 5 families; you

have to wait 6 hours to be seen

by an emergency room doctor;

your child’s 2nd grade class is

behind other schools because

over half the class doesn’t speak

English.

Corn Flakes now come in a

bilingual box; I have to

“press one” to hear my bank

talk to me in English, and

people waving flags other

than “Old Glory” are

squawking and screaming

in the streets, demanding

more rights and free liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe

it’s time for the government

to take down the bird feeder.

If you agree, pass it on. If not,

continue cleaning up the ………..

No insane person? Uh…you’re right….I think. BTW….Obama has also stated we need a military presence in iraq to protect our interests. I’ll translate that for the “no insane” of you. We’re not leaving Iraq regardless of who is elected.

my fellow Americans, if you want to stay in Iraq for 9 billion a month then vote for McCain; if you want to get out of Iraq then Obama is your man.

I am afraid of what is happening in this campaign. People are not voting for change they are voting for INEXPERIENCE!! Obama doesn”t and will not know what is going to be expected of him. He’s just excited of the limelight he is in right now. For goodness sake his wife is just now realizing she is ‘proud to be an american’. If there is going to be a run for the white house let it be the people with experience. Clinton or McCain.

Have any of you that want to pull out of Iraq right now actually consider what the consequences would be?

Seriously, it may cost us 9 billion a month, however it could be argued (successfully I might add) that it would end up costing us a heck of a lot more if we pulled out when Iraq wasn’t able to stand on its own yet.

To be blunt it wouldn’t surprise me if FDR would have switched parties if he saw what the Democrats were like today.

It really doesn’t matter what McCain says or does, it is apparrent that Americans do not want another Republican to be the commanding chief of our country. If inexperience was an issue, then we should have never allowed George W. Bush to become our president for 8 years. You all see how that turned out and what it’s done to the hope, drive, ambition, and morale of the country. One of the most important demographics, the commanding 18-25 year olds, are not interested in continuing a war that was derived and conceived through broken promises and manipulation (he lied to Hillary and deceived her into voting for it…what else do you need). So if you think McCain’s going to be allowed to continue in a fight that isn’t an American fight, then you all must be living in the land of illusion. McCain is starting the attacks now, simply because he must if he thinks he is goint to have a shot at winning an election that George W. Bush has already secured the he will lose.

It’s funny how the Obama’s are finally proud they are Americans. What a fraud, the both of them. When you are winning that’s when you’re finally proud. People need to see through this. If the wife thinks that way then Mr. B. Hussein Obama must think that way too.

McCain risked his entire career against the public opinion in regards to Iraq. And everyday he looks more right as the violence dwindles and the government reconciles. He has always been proud of his country, regardless of the bad times. And we know Senator McCain has seen the bad times as a P.OW. in Vietnam. That is a man who is ready to lead because he will never waiver.

Our country does not need a “holiday from history” because we want to feel warm and cuddly all over for a few years. McCain is the best choice for President of the United States because he upholds the true principles that our country was founded on, individual freedom, patriotism, and faith.

IT MEANS MCCAIN ( OLD TIRED MESSAGE WON’T DO ). WE WILL NEED TO MOTIVATE THE BASE AND IM NOT MOTIVATED FOR MCCAIN SAME OLD BOREING MESSAGE. COME NOVEMBER MY VOTE GOES TO BARACK

Well I must say I’d vote for Mickey Mouse over Obama at this point, he is very charismatic, but he’s extremely dishonest. Also the opinion polls, you have to take them with a grain of salt considering the people doing the polling and a lot of the major networks are extremely left-wing.

I’m for John McCain.

I AM A STRONG SUPPORTER OF THE 2nd AMENDMENT. WE WILL NOT HAVE THAT WITH HILLARY,OBAMA OR MCCAIN. YOU PEOPLE REALLY NEED TO BE THINKING OF THESE SERIOUS ISSUES SINCE WE HAVE NO BORDERS . MIKE AND RON ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO SPEAK OUT TO THIS;;

http://www.nraila.org/Issues/FactSheets/Read.aspx?id=203

McCain’s remark, we might be in IRAQ for 100 years. Obama has used this comment several times in his speeches.

If Obama were a military man, or at least familiar with how the military operates, he would understand that America, KEEPS troops in many countries around the world.

McCain did not say, we would continue a war on Iraq soil for 100 years, but, more in context, that we might keep a presence of troops in Iraq, maybe for 100 years. Operative words, MIGHT, MAYBE.

An Obama spin, for young and female non-military ears.

Maybe the Clinton camp should get a few of the victims of crime that his present vote in Illinois effected. He says he had a technical issue with the bill, well I bet the victims that could have used his vote on the bill had a surrvival issue that needed his vote. The guy has not wanted any issue to stick to him that would prevent his manipulation of the future. His own friends say they realy do not know the real Obama. I am afraid this play has been his lifes work. Clinton camp go for the real meat on his posturing he has been a pozer all of his life. Get to the real bones of who he is and you will expose some ugly side that he has patted as a protection from who he is and what he is about. Get to the meat and stop picking at crap that does not matter. We do not want to hear about 35 years, or hard work expose this pozer for what he is inside and why he has chosen to hide . You can get some of it as it shows on his spouce. This is a couple that are so out of touch from the African American communitty that now embrasses them, his spouce is condisending of average blacks. She accutualy looks down at uneducated blacks and it has shown from some of the way she talks to crowds, and his writtings were he says he hated his mothers family. If you can not go for the meat I know the Republicans will have no problem doing so. How you would let the media pin you into a hands off campaign is my disappointment. John Kerry let Karl Rove and the media do this to us 4 years ago and I had hoped you would be different. If you can’t I will go with Mccain as he is a centrist that I feel the democratic party had moved to during Bill’s term, away from the liberal ways of the past. You are not thinking straight and your advisers are not up to the task, go for the meat of this pozer !!!

Barack Obama speaks of “change” but is completely vague as to what and for whom those changes will be. “This is our time” refers to who? This man wants to represent me? Really. Hillary can’t stay on track - ever. She changes her mind as often as her outfits. The Middle East is going to support diplomacy efforts made by a female? Not likely even if it is biased. McCain, although thought to be old, is the only candidate with real experience in the American government system. He stands by his promise to avoid pork spending in bills, but his stance on illegal immigration is completely out of touch with what I want for this country. Who will represent me this election? Obama isn’t Muslim, but if you look at his church’s website (Trinity Church of Christ in Chicago ), you will find a great deal of support for the Black movement and there isn’t any room for other races or religions. Follow the links from the church website to their magazine, Trumpet. You’ll find glowing reports for Louis Farakkhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam. This is not the same Islam as the radical Middle Eastern terrorists, but just as damaging to the social fabric of this nation. It does more to promote hatred and racism than even Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson combined. Obama could never be referring to me when he speaks of “our time”. Hillary will say whatever I want to hear, but don’t think for a second she intends to follow up on those promises. This is a woman who ran for the Senate in the state she never lived in but had the best chance of winning in. McCain is a man of his word, but unfortunately we don’t see eye to eye on immigration. At least he can claim experience and mean it. What’s a girl to do?

IT IS ONLY TIME BEFORE THE AMERICANS SEE OBAMA FOR THE FRAUD HE AND HIS WIFE ARE.

BIGOTS AND RACIST. HIS WIFE SLIPPED UP YESTERDAY TO REVEAL THAT TRUTH AS WELL AS

OBAMA’S MINISTER OF 21 YEARS WHO HONORED LOUIS FARRAHKAN IN MARCH OF 2007

With the pressure that will be on the next president I think McCain needs to focus on his health. In several events, it appears that he is barely making it. One foot in and one foot out of the grave. If he is elected, who would be Vice is my question?

I share Cindy McClain’s disdain for the remarks by Michelle Obama, regarding she just now being proud of her country. She went to grade school, high school, and college, and had to studied American History. What about the struggles of people of color. Sorry, she is not First Lady material, nor is Barak Obama good enough be President. I doubt she would make such a statement unless he also shared those views. Take for instance, Barack Obama not pledging allegiance. I saw the picture. He disgusts me, and I am a democrat. If the loonies of this party vote him in, I will cross over and vote for McCain!

another trigger happy angry war monger

McCain reminds me of ” give um Hell” Harry Truman. He tells it straight. Maybe we do not want to hear the truth, but reality is that we cannot just PU and run out of Iraqi, provided we do not care if our kids or grandchildren may very likely be forced to defend the country soon thereafter. These Islamic extremist are not going away, they are among us, waiting for the go ahead. Obama won’t answer about his step-father Lolo’s influence in his life. Remember, Lolo Soetoro, was a Wahhabi Islamic Muslim Radical in Indonesia. Nor will he say anything negative about Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam. His minister Sr. Jeremiah Wright, of the Trinity Church of Christ’s has a fond relationship with Farrahan. I for one will not chance voting for him. Sorry I do not think I would like good in a Burka!

Do not be fooled! Barak Obama’s call for National Infrastructure Reinvestment Bank (NIRB) does not signal the return of the Democratic Party to the values of FDR and a revival of the Constitutional prerogative to ‘promote the general welfare’, but would rather provide more welfare for Wall Street and worse. Obama’s plan is nothing more than the direct means of instituting the Rohatyn-Rudman National Investment Corporation (NIC) plan called for in 2005, which in essence is a revival of Mussolini’s methods of corporatist control of the state in a politically correct post modern fashion..

When Senator Obama states that his National Investment Reinvestment Bank will magically turn $60 billion into trillions of dollars as he did in his Feb 13th Jamesville, WI speech, one can easily realize that the only way that this can happen is through the perverse magic of Wall Street. What would happen is that bonds floated by the NIRB will be bought on the open market, to then be speculated upon, securitized as derivatives, traded and ultimately used as collateral on the newly built infrastructure. What we will see is the emergence of an infrastructure bubble to replace the mortgage bubble, propped up by initial government expenditures towards infrastructure. This is just the start as Obama will fund the feel good ‘carbon credit’ swap to be the next blast of hot air to make Wall Street giddy. This is a key insight to a true understanding of what is going on. Bailout the financial powers with a clever plan that will raise money to then buy up hard assets, in other words the remaining wealth of our nation, as the meltdown crisis of over a quadrillion in derivatives losses grows and grows..

Besides artificially propping up the markets, Obama’s NIRB, as an initiation of the Rohatyn/Rudman infrastructure investment model, opens the door to the privatization of public assets. International predators and asset-strippers want to buy up public highways and impose cutthroat tolls, as they are already doing in many states. Then they run the turnpikes into the ground as cash cows while they mercilessly bilk the users. Privatization is a key goal of the Anglo-American financiers behind this scheme. Both the NIC and NIRB rely on the new darling of the markets, PPPs, known as public private partnerships. PPPs are the means by which market forces will dictate, and that is the word, the implementation of these projects. The argument is that the PPP will keep costs down, but in reality only because the private corporations, now controlling the public sector, will own the assets of what is being constructed. The PPP model is none other than the model implemented by Mussolini in his fascist corporate state. The creation of NIRB funds hark back to Hjalmar Schact’s ‘MEFO’ bills that created the speculative bubble of money so that the National Socialists could rearm Germany and fight World War II..

Is sad and funny at the same time to watch how the fox news doesn’t like McCain but you are stuck with him.

Minnesota Man Claims He Took Drugs & Had Sex with Barack Obama in 1999
Submitted by Julie on February 19, 2008 - 1:32pm. Elections Elections 2008 News Politics U.S. Politics
Barack Obama now faces a new challenge - one that is sure to be much more scandalous than anything he’s seen so far. If the allegations are to be believed, it’s also a scandal that his campaign has tried to cover up. A Minnesota man has come forth, claiming that he took cocaine in 1999 with Obama, the then-Illinois legislator, and participated in homosexual acts with him.

Larry Sinclair, the man making the claims, said his story was ignored by the news media. Still not willing to let this one slip quietly under the rug, Sinclair made a YouTube video in which he made his case. It’s had over half a million views already, but the story has still been largely ignored by the news media.

Sinclair’s next step was to file a suit in Minnesota District Court, in which he alleges threats and intimidation by the Democratic presidential candidate’s staff.

Still out to prove that he is telling the truth, Sinclair said he is willing to submit to a polygraph test. A website (WhiteHouse.com) has come forth offering him $10,000 for the right to record the polygraph test, and another $100,000 if he passes it.

We find ourselves in a time of war with a choice in a presidential election.

Our choice is between a Veteran and an inexpirienced politician

Veterans ran WW1, WW2, The Civil War, The Spanish American War, and The Revolutionary War

Inexpirienced politicians ran the Vietnam War

Who would you trust?

COMMENT BY A 79 YEAR OLD.
What do you McCain lovers want to do, elect your grandfather? I have always respected and honored John McCain as a hero and a patriot but he isn’t the same. He is now an OLD hero and patriot and longtime Washington insider who thinks and acts the same as George Bush who has ruined the country I knew most of my life. I don’t want my grandchildren and great grandchildren fighting in Iraq. No matter when we take the combat troops out of Iraq they will really start killing each other and the Turks will help. I could care less if McCain had a “relationship” with a good looking lobbyist that he did a lot of favors for, I’d do the same if I had his power and money and could spend your money that way.

The race is still young to predict who will be leading comes 2008 election, we should not forget who Barack is or how unstable Hilary is with sensitive issues facing our great country. John McCain has got the exprience and determination we need to continue this war on terror to free our country and the rest of the world from these militant fanatics.

Only our nation can do that, China and other Powers are not ready for what it will cost, if we do not make a move now the world will be unsafe in the years to come.

Mr. Obama wants “change” that scare me… In November I’ll vote NO for U.S.S.A.

he is right,what is wrong with our country,he is not a rock star.not even a good congressman.

Mc Cane is right,Obama is not a rock star. who want’s one for a president?

It looks like the United States is in a very scary place. China is progressing at an astounding pace. The press and media spend an unbelievable amount of time covering Sen. Obama. It is too bad the money spent on campaigning could not be put to better use. The world is watching and waiting for some sort of sanity,that would be a Change!

I am really afraid of all of the backing Obama is receiving. What are people thinking? They are NOT. It is a purely emotional response to a brilliant orator, an extreme charismatic. He is so vague with “change” and has no specifics, which leads me to think that he is waiting to be elected so that the specifics can them be implemented and we will be at a loss to their effect. I think he knows exactly what he is doing in this electiion and is very dangerous for the American people. God help America if he is our next President. God, open the eyes and ears of people so that he is not.

I understand all of you trying to hold on to the ONLY viable candidate that the republican party could come up with, but the hypocrisy is deafening every time McCain opens his mouth about Obama.
McCain has the longest history (or experience as they like to call it) for shady lobbyist dealings and special interest favoring than ANY candidate that either party has. He and his wife come out and bash Michelle Obama and claim that two lawyers that have dedicated their lives to public service are nonpatriotic and unAmerican when he and his wife have done nothing but live the priveledged high life off of her family money and his political lobbyists favors. I guess Cindy is proud of her country after all it has done for her.

Even the do good non profit organization she ran, the AVMT, was shut down in disgrace when it was revealed that she was on a three year drug binge and had been stealing drugs from her own non profit organization. This only came out when Tom Gosinski, the director of government and international affairs for AVMT discovered her theft. He was promptly fired by McCain and later tipped of the DEA. Her illegal activities prompted a federal investigation. McCain’s defense team made an agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s office that limited her punishment to financial restitution and enrollment in a diversion program and agreed that nothing would be made public. I’m sure that the financial restitution was a real beating for her since she is chair of the $300-million-a-year Hensley & Company foundation that her daddy left her.

They had better attack Obama now, that he is still in the primary with Hillary and shouldn’t waste much of his time on their feeble attempts at ridicule, it’s the easiest it’s going to get for them. It won’t work anyways, you can see where it got Hillary when she tried this tactic. The problem for all of the “experienced” candidates is that their experience sucks, full of controversy, bad decisions, lies, and illegal activities. That kind of experience…..we don’t need, thank you.

Bottom line is that the McCains live in a glass MANSION, not just a glass house, and they had better be careful about what stones they throw and at whom. Obviously their mothers never taught them that those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I can hear the glass breaking on the horizon…..even…..now.

The war, the war, blah blah blah….that is all the republicans have done to keep themselves in the white house for the last 7 years….fear tactics. Be afraid, be very afraid, because a fearful society can be manipulated and used however it’s leaders see fit. The way of the republican machine is to feed you all the fear and then to use it against you. The war is the best thing that ever happened to Bush, both in power and money. It is the best thing that can ever happen for McCain, which is why he never wants to stop it either. The republicans have crippled us far more than Al Queda could have on their own.

Links between Saddam’s regime and al-Qaeda, as claimed by the Bush Administration (which formed a crucial part of the WMD justification for the Iraq invasion), were non-existent or exaggerated. If they would lie to us about something as important as this, it is clear that they will lie to us about anything. Fear is their motive. Fear to keep us under their control.

“Misunderstanding arising from ignorance breeds fear, and fear remains the greatest enemy of peace.” Lester B. Pearson

“Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.” Bertrand Russell

“Neither a man nor a crowd nor a nation can be trusted to act humanely or to think sanely under the influence of a great fear.” Bertrand Russell

“We tell lies when we are afraid… afraid of what we don’t know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger.” Tad Williams

Both Obama and McCain are fine Americans who clearly care dearly about doing the right thing, and who honestly are trying to make a difference…the difference between candidates is in philosophy. I only ask that voting citizen’s look at the issues and positions of each candidate (McCain and Obama or Clinton…who it is remains to be decided) and decide which way they lean. If you are a democrat who recognizes the importance of the war on terror…and yes, we are at war, then McCain may be the best choice if you could put up with cuts to social programs. If you are a republican who wants out of Iraq and can live with higher taxes, then you’ll want to vote for our democrat candidate. There is no candidate in the world who will be in perfect agreement with you on all the issues…unless you decide to run for office yourself.

It’s important that we don’t go to personal attacks, questioning the patriotism of any of these fine candidates…that is a poor way to make decisions. You would have to be crazy to honestly think that McCain wants to go to war any chance he can or doesn’t want every U.S. soldier home as soon as possible. You would also be crazy to believe that Obama is going to reveal he is a muslim who will allow terrorists to take over the US government, or that he is unpatriotic.

We are at war regardless of how we got there - Al Qaeda is there now, regardless of whether they were or were not there before the second gulf war. The fact is that we got there by a nearly unanimous vote by our leaders who all had the same intelligence (the President, Senate and House), and who are passing the buck and not taking responsibility for contributing to this decision…quit blaming Bush for “Bush’s War” when nearly all of our senators voted to send in our troops for this world wide war in which the U.S. is taking the lead. The decision to go to war was based on data and intelligence primarily based on Saddam Hussein not so subtly implying he had weapons of mass destruction. Intelligence confirmed and backed up by other nations. Regardless, this is a moot point because we’re there now and need to clean up the mess that yes, we created. So, it’s up to voters to decide whether we will be safer as a nation if our troops come home now, or that the Iraqi people can take care of their own problems with no adverse effect in the U.S..

A final thought in this rambling post is to consider what we hear from our media, government, and other entities around the World…how many times have you heard that we can’t trust our own government (Bush lied, our NSA is passing on false data about nuclear intentions of Iran etc…), when comments and statements from leaders in Al Qaeda, Iran, Argentina and North Korea are taken at face value. That’s like your mother believing what the kid who stole your homework says rather than what you say.

To Black republican: Why does this not surprise me?

Also Lori, Lori, what an angry girl you are. I would say woman but unfortunately your tirade is like a small child. It’s so easy for you young people to be idealistic. You really don’t have much experience in living, now do you. I am 76 and believe me I’ve seen good and bad , but I truly believe that every man we have ever had as president (including Jimmy Carter) thought they were doing the right thing. You have a lot of hate in your retoric. I would suggest you calm down and try to look at the situation and put yourself in the President’s position for just one moment. WHAT WOULD YOU DO. You have literally millions of people looking to YOU for answers and support. Would you always make the right decisions? I doubt it. Throughout life one has to use one’s best judgement and I don’t believe any of us knows all the details of what goes on in Wa. fo security sake. President Kennedy made a mistake with the Bay of Pigs. Did we chastise him, no we stood together and he did the best he could but alot of Cubans were left out in the cold literally when we didn’t come like we said we would. All men are just men, not one of them is GOD, so we make mistakes and try to learn for next time, as there always is a next time. Grow up Lori - look for the good in all people and you will be much happier. Trying to destroy a good man or woman with your words is beneath you as you obviously are fairly well educated. Look for the good in people and hope they will look for the good in you. Remember the candidates are human beings too and have feelings like you do. Senator McCain deserves more respect than you are showing him. You don’t have to vote for him but he has given alot of himself to this Country and He loves America as do Hillary and Obama so be a lady and don’t show so much anger it’s not becoming and beneath you I’m sure.

Honestly, what is it about an African-American being president that scares the young lady are or anyone the share the sentiment. I honestly and truly want to know the answer to that question.

People who are supporting Obama are also taking a risk with someone who is tied in with a ratical muslems. They are dangerous people and they are the ones who will use the race card. What is it going to take for people to wake up and for the media to get the truth out about Obama. After 9/11 how can we trust this man who belongs to the C.A.R.E organization, will not salute our Flag and refuses to wear a flag pin, and definitely has Muslem ties, run our country.And…oh yes, when he was sworn in as Senator he swore in ….not on our bible but on the Koran. Doesn’t anyone have a picture of that to show America????? Hello out there!

He says he is against Nafta, but the Canadian Government was assured by his campaign, that is just a political stance.

He says he was against the war, and wants to withdraw troops immediately, but Canadian Officials were told by his campaign, it is just a political stance to gain votes from Anti War voters.

He says he doesn’t want this to be about race, yet he has been attending a church led by a clearly Anti White Minister for over 20 years.

He doesn’t want business as usual politics, and is a candidate of change, yet he accepted 168,000 from Tony Rezko, who was at the time a suspect in a federal investigation and Barrack knew that. Rezko also made a sweetheart deal with Barrack Obama on Barrack Obama’s 1.8Million Dollar Home in Chicago. Rezko has since been indicted, and there are several “High Ranking Illinois Officials” that are unnamed in the indictment, but clearly Barrack is linked after taking that kind of money from Rezko. Barrack also worked with Rezko in the private sector before getting elected as an Illinois Legislator.

Barrack Obama’s church is now criticizing him for distancing himself from them after he attended the church for 20 years, stating he is doing it for political gain. Here is the quote from the church he attended for 20 years…
” …It’s time for us to say ..No’ to these attacks and declare that we will not allow anyone to undermine or destroy the ministries of any of our congregations in order to serve their own narrow political or ideological ends.” said the Rev. John H. Thomas, UCC General Minister and President, in a released statement.

I am from Chicago, and I have many friends that vote for Barrack Obama on February 5th, that wish they could have a do over.

There are those who would vote for an old war-monger like McCain. You must have invested all your life saving on defense contractors, grave digging, and the funeral industry for one hundred years of return on your investment. How rich do you want to be at the expense of our young men dying in a war that provides no benefit to the nation at large?
If you are a poor person that supports this old geezer, you will eventually become poorer. Any fool should know that spending 9 billion dollars a month does not make sense. With 9 billion a month this country could do a lot of great things for its’ own citizens. Like college, health care, tax breaks for the working class, and etc.

For all you idiots that keep this whole Rev. Wright situation going beyond it life span it in need of mental health counseling. You claim you are true Americans and Barack and his family is un-American. What is being a true American is really about? Religious Freedom is the basic reason they came to this country. Their belief in Christ and their desire to serve Him openly is why they call that a Christian country.

Well, Jesus has principles. (1) Forgiveness- Barack has denounced the words of Rev. Wright publicly. What else can he do to satisfy your hate filled heart, my Christian brothers and sisters? (2) Self examination- Get the wooden beam out you own eye so that you can see your brothers’ toothpick. The way you want to crucify a good man, while we tolerated the KKK and their like for hundreds of years. These fools have bombed buildings and killed other Americans both blacks and whites. How many times has African American groups or Rev. Wright bomb any buildings or kill anyone? And what if we as African American wanted to hold you responsible for this country’s past acts of slavery, Jim Crow, lynching, beating, and killings. How about your own shortcomings, mistakes, and sins. Do you want the world to continue to hold you responsible after your asked for forgiveness?

Decietfull? Secrecy? that’s democratic karma. how about every politicion when signing up to run, put their platform to paper, signed and notorize as a legally jailable binding contract with America. All lobbyists stay out of congress buildings and report in writing on web page or hold public hearings (sunshine in baseball?). All taxes voted on by the people, owners of this country who hire politicians to represent them. Use the same polling conspiracy they use to get in to office to poll the american people so they can vote accordingly (immigration fiasco!) . Remember when they floated they tax increase balloon shortly after they retook the congress, coinsidently that’s about the same time the economy slowed down. Earmarks, NAFTA, unregulated or inspected imports,devide and conquer, tax increses, unmonitored inefficient train of programs that they continually seem to invent or try. They don’t have enuogh forsight to run a primary let alone a country (any similarities?). Balance the budjet, prioritize with the money they have lust like their employers they say they represent. yes it’s work but that’s what the voter want’s. May be if they treated it like a full time job that, in most places require you to get along for productivity), and did some of the other things the people want we can take back the store, or maybe that’s the problem.
