McCain's Prospects Depend on Telling Truth About Obama

Was the Copenhagen Global Warming Summit Walk-Out a Win for the U.S.?


The media are piling on against John McCain and some pundits are predicting it's all over, that Barack Obama has somehow won the election. As the old saying goes, it's not over until the fat lady sings, and it's high time for the fat lady to sing about Obama's scary agenda and the many reasons why it is too risky to elect him president.

We need to hear more about ACORN, the special-interest group that would like to steal this election by registering people who are not eligible to vote, such as registering ghost voters in Nevada under the names of the Dallas Cowboys. Obama's years of close association with ACORN need to be known to the public.

We should hear more about Obama's political friend William Ayers, the unrepentant bomber and Ward Churchill-type professor, who has a really scary plan to remake the curriculum of public schools in order to turn kids into radical socialists like himself. Obama helped deliver big bucks to Ayers' radical education project in Chicago.

Obama has already introduced one bill in the U.S. Senate called "Positive Behavior for Effective Schools Act," which would implement Ayers' social-outcome notions, and another to teach kindergartners Al Gore's propaganda about climate change. Voters should be reminded that Obama has called for making "sure your child can speak Spanish."

We need to have further explanations of the hateful attitudes Obama expressed in his autobiography "Dreams from My Father." We need further investigation of author Jack Cashill's evidence that this book was actually ghost-written by William Ayers.

The media have carefully crafted the several presidential debates to avoid two issues that are helpful to John McCain and hurtful to Obama: immigration and abortion. Let's get those issues out on the table.

Voters need to know that Obama favors giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. This practice is so unpopular with the voters that it brought down the political career of New York's recent unlamented Gov. Eliot Spitzer and caused the recall of California Gov. Gray Davis.

The one debate where the abortion issue was discussed was at Saddleback Church where Obama revealed his unacceptable attitude with the stupid statement that a discussion of the personhood of an unborn baby is above his pay grade. What's really above his pay grade is the job of U.S. president and commander in chief.

Four-dollar gasoline at the pump and the need for energy independence by drilling for American oil could be the No. 1 issue in the 2008 election. It should be hammered home to the voters that McCain and Sarah Palin are on the right side of this issue and Obama is wrong.

American voters need to be told that the current financial crisis was caused by the liberal policies of men who are mostly Democrats. A September 30, 1999, news article in the New York Times explained how Fannie Mae, under its then chairman and Clinton-appointee Franklin D. Raines, took on "significantly more risk" by demanding that the banks give subprime mortgages to low-income people who could not afford the houses they were buying.

By the end of the Clinton administration, 44 percent of the loans purchased by Fannie Mae were these risky mortgages. ACORN accelerated this practice by getting unemployed people to demonstrate in bank lobbies, demanding that more mortgages be given to people without adequate credit.

Good U.S. manufacturing jobs were moving overseas years before the current financial crunch. The Clinton administration globalists, the policies of Clinton's Wall Street friends such as Robert Rubin, and the trade agreements that discriminate against American workers and products are all part of our current economic distress.

The American people should be reminded that everything Barack Obama proposes will require higher taxes. Only tax reduction and the encouragement of good U.S. jobs will promote economic recovery, not tax increases or taxpayer bailouts of the billions lost by avoidable mistakes.

State amendments for traditional marriage are repeatedly adopted by the voters. The public should be reminded that Obama opposes these amendments and said he "respects" the outrageous California same-sex marriage decision.

The Democratic Platform adds, "We oppose the Defense of Marriage Act." DOMA is one of the most popular laws ever passed by Congress; it protects us from judges who try to force other states to accept the gay mischief of Massachusetts, California, and Connecticut.

The voters should be reminded that Barack Obama is promising all kinds of costly benefits to be paid for by the already burdened taxpayers, such as his bill to implement "the U.S. Millennium Development Goals, which aim to cut extreme poverty in half by 2015" and "double" our annual spending for this goal.

Voters, not polls or pundits, will decide this presidential election. It's time to make sure the voters have as much information as possible about the candidates.

Agreed...
I truly feel God in His infinite wisdom dealing with us fallen types... has made the argument so clearly only the obscene obfuscation of political correctness could dummy us out of the right choice... if McCain looses, it will be because of his failure to engage Obama and put him down like the warrior he claims to be.


- That Darn Republican

McCain just can't do it
McCain doesn't have the ability to debate Obama and point all these things out without coming off sounding like a crank. I can't help thinking that if Mitt Romney had been our candidate, he'd be up in the polls right now. I respect McCain and I hope he wins, but his last two debate performances have been so horrible that I just don't think he can do it. And there's no way we can count on the MSM to do anything about these questions and relationships in the last few weeks before the election. This next debate is McCain's last chance. While I'm hoping for the best, I'm expecting more of the same. Sadly, it looks like Obama will get his chance to "spread the wealth around" a bit. Some day we'll look back on this election as the beginning of the end. Just when European countries are changing their economic and foreign policies to be more in line with the U.S., we're going to opt for socialism to be more like the European countries that are finding that system doesn't work. Just remember, Townhallers, that slogan of the Democrats: Dissent is patriotic! (At least until Obama shuts down anybody he doesn't agree with, and reinstates the "fairness" doctrine.) Well, he'll be in for a whole lot of patriotism for the next four years as he realizes he's in WAY over his head and has no idea what he's doing.

Well...
I flatly disagree with your assessment that McCain will look like a crank if he calls a spade a spade. It's not that he responds... at this late stage in the game, it is how he respends that can make or break it for him. The left is hiding behind frosting because there is no cake to their arguments. Lies and deceit are the ways of Obama and his followers, period. McCain's own constituents want to him to be a warrior and come swinging - he will loose if he doesn't.

My suggestions - he should find the biggest bat he can and go for brokem because the MSM will spin anything that comes his way anyway - he may as well go for broke.



-That Darn Republican

Media's Selective Subjects
Most of us call it "bias." The media's attitude towards Obama's backers and long-time associations. I cannot recall exactly when it was, but a while back - before he had nailed down the Democratic nomination - Mr. BHO proudly claime ACORN as one of his great accomplishments while working as a community organizer. Now he disavows any knowledge of them? Wow, how will he treat us - the non-supportors - if he wins the election? Will those of us who spared no effort to try to get out the truth about BHO be somehow cast aside as non citizens? Obama's loyalty is about as trustworthy as a suitor who once he concquers, he's off to greener pastures. Helen Schlafly, you have a platform, please continue to use it! We need your voice, courage and honesty.

McCain is his own worst enemy...
His Mr. nice guy routine regarding Obama and his many, many dubious alliances and associations, whereby he is declaring any questions concerning same off limits, is incomprehencible. Here is guy(Obama) whom was an obscure entity outside of Chicago just one year ago. The more one looks at his past, the more questions that arise. ACORN, Jeremiah Wright, Louis FarrakhanBill Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis, Raila Odinga, His failure to release academic records, senior thesis, original birth cetificate, endorsements from emenies(radical Muslims), Poster of Che Cuevera in campaign office.....So many questions.
McCain says that he is a decent man that we need not fear if elected! Is he serious???


OBAMUNISM
Here's a hot new t-shirt...

http://conchtees.com/shirt/men/obamunism.php

We Need More Information
Maybe part of the reason members of the media are behaving like they are about not giving more details about Obama is that they do not know enough about Sarah Palin either.

John McCain, like any other president, could die in office six months after he is elected; and John Mccain says that there isn't time for a president of the United States to learn on the job. A lot of Americans think that since Sarah Palin could become president, they should know details about her true views, about who has made political contributions to her campaigns, about who her advisors have been, and details about her personal life - like Phyllis Schlafly wants everyone to know about Obama, which is fair. They think that Sarah Palin should have answered the specific questions that Gwen Ifill asked instead of just telling about how she has handled her jobs as Mayor and as Governor.

Maybe Sarah Palin's advisors will tell her how to make decisions about a U.S. economy that is in big trouble, and how to make military decisions as commander in chief if McCain dies in office as president before she learns all of that. Or maybe she already knows all of that, and just decided not to make Ifill's job too easy.

Newsflash
We have heard all this stuff a million times
already. We aren't buying it, and McCain is going to lose. Learn to live with it. You have
had your turn. And look what you did with it.

soulsamurai
Is the market crash manufactured? Not likely.
Many of us have seen it coming for a long time.

You know what else I knew would happen. That
gas prices would go down just before the election. Now that was a manipulation. Clear
and simple.


Steven
Your a troll who should keep to the communist blogs that agree with your tripe. When the time comes you'll be cowering in a corner, wondering what went wrong, while real Americans just git 'er done!

Your BOY Obambi, the traitor within, backed by the likes of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Iran, Ayres, Al Qaeda, the PLO, Farrakhan, Castro, Chavez, Kim Jung IL, Odinga, ACORN etc, will not be able to hide/. Notice his associations and what they mean for America. He is the Trojan Horse of Greek Mythology and his boys are planning to ride in on him. Well, all the scenarios have been taken into account by those in the know. For a clue, look to how the Emperor of Japan responded after he surrendered on the Missouri, to a question posed to him by a representative, at the time of his surrender.

Duty, Honor, Country
McCain's confused duty and honor with political correctness (he's so comfortable with on the Senate floor). Obama and his operators successfully turned Hilary into a pretzel with all this racist garbage. McCain has fallen into the same trap, I'm afraid. The honorable thing to do for his country is to point out the ugly truth about the character of Barry O -- because MSM isn't going to do it. He has an obligation to do it, as far as I'm concerned. It's not about being nice. It's not about reaching across the aisle. Speak the truth to all American's and let them decide for themselves....but we need to hear all of it!!

Obama's Deal for You
Obama could sell an Eskimo a freezer in the middle of winter! Snake-oil salesman extraordinare. (the whole thing seems surreal) I cannot believe that a Socialist who speaks more like a Marxist (spread the wealth...and take Exxon/Mobile profits to place in us treasury) is even being taken seriously! God help us....

Republican Conversion
The problem with this election is that we conservatives don't have a party anymore. The Republicans are becoming Republican Socialists and the Democrats,of course, are getting exactly what they want which is Socialism.

Hence the inability of McCain to represent us. We are going to have to swallow a bitter pill and vote for a third party to show that we understand that this shift has taken place.

Thank you Mrs. Schlafly.
This is a concise list of all that we should know about before we vote.

Kristine...,voting for a third party is absolutely pointless. DUH!!!

Steven...,thousands upon thousands of people try to come into this country each day. They flock here legally and illegally. And yet the United States has no one who wants to leave.
Yuo live in a better country than you will ever know. Your zeal for Barry Dunham tells me that you are ill informed and proud of it. You could emigrate you know.

NEVER FIND OUT.....
Go here - http://www.neverfindout.org. - to see some fantastic ads coming out about Obama and his record.

Mac needs to speak of O's abortion
record (kill live babies),

tax record and $billion$ in earmarks during his 143 days in the Senate,

O's $trillion$ more in spending when the entire gov't framework is in danger of collapse,

the entire radical-extremist axis: Ayers, Dohrn, Wright, Rezko, Farrakhan;

O's missing birth certificate,

his four names,

his missing years at Columbia,

and O's non-credentials,

NO MATTER WHAT THE IDIOT *MODERATOR* ASKS.

Steven: Ccareful what you wish for
With a supermajority in Congress and a President Obama then I expect that the loudest of Dems, like yourself, will be among the first to hold the new administration accountable. We can count on you, can't we Steven? You'll make it loud and clear when the markets collapse under the pressure of new taxation, right? You'll post on this blog when small businesses are forced to lay off tens of thousands of employees because they gross more than $250,000 a year in profits, right? You'll buy a billboard in downtown Chicago that decries the failed social re-engineering experiment of wealth redistribution, right? If the MSM is building Obama up simply to tear him down later during some future sweeps week, then we need good Americans like you, Steven, to hold the Messiah accountable. Can we count on you?

Part Of The Story
Schlafly quote:"American voters need to be told that the current financial crisis was caused by the liberal policies of men who are mostly Democrats." And the rest of the story is that the remainder of the bad guys are called Republicans, some of which have occupied the WH and other top-level government positions. The pundits and writers need be included. The Bushes and Newt are members of the CFR. Add in the writers, Barone gets free tickets to the Bilderberg and CFR meetings, Will to Bilderbergs, Kudlow CFR, etc. And I have a problem believing that Jorge Bush and McAmnesty have had a real problem with the mortgages. Never heard of either of them being against mortgages for those who cannot afford them until now. I am one of the losers, and if I had the info as far back as McShame claims, I would now be far better off. So their messages were kind of muted weren't they? Or would they have been afraid of being labeled racists? Yes they would and that makes them weaklings, unwilling accomplices and hypocrites. Unfortunately I was never able to vote out McShame but I did vote for Jorge, the Compassionate Conservative twice. Did I have a better choice?

Um...
How about a little tit for tat? John McCain tells us why he really chose an obviously unqualified woman to be the nominee for vice president?
McCain goes first.

***WE AWAIT JUDGE R. BARCLAY SURRICK***

United States District Court Judge R. Barclay Surrick may be the most important figure in this election. He is the judge who will decide the fate of Philip Berg's lawsuit to compel the Marxist, Comrade Obama, to release his TRUE birth certificate...not the altered "Certificate of Live Birth" that Comrade Obama's fellow travelers like to say is proof of his citizenship.

Gene Touchet
Sarah Palin is more qualified than Barack Obama, any day. She's actually accomplished a great deal - both as mayor and as governonr - and has shown that she can lead and inspire.

Obama has done absolutely nothing in his life to qualify him for Senator, let alone President.

He's written two books about his favorite subject, himself, and he's been in perpetual campaign mode literally the entire time he's been on the national stage.

Oh, and he served a whopping 143 days in the Senate before determining that he was now ready to be Commander in Chief. Did he author any legislation while there? No. Did he sponsor or cosponsor any major legislation while there? No. He voted present (the coward's method) so often that it became a running joke.

Idiots like you, Gene Touchet, are frankly, completely unqualified to vote at all. Do us all a favor, and stay home on November 4th.

Truth is needed, unlikely to appear....

The most telling statement in this very accurate article is the first:
“The media is piling on John McCain”

The Big Media (they are NOT mainstream) will have a huge
temper tantrum over any attempt to bring the truth of these points
to the American People before the election.

His choices are try and be trashed, or not try and lose.

Stand up and FIGHT.

the problem
I admit that if people became convinced of the things claimed in the article above, it might change the election. But how does one get mainstream reporters to claim so many nonsensical things?

Is there any way for McCain to win by saying true things? That certainly seems unlikely at this point. And is there any way for McCain to get people to believe so many false things?

The Ayres wrote Obama's autobiography is a particularly funny one. It kind of sets off the anti-Obama crowd from the insanely anti-Obama crowd.

CH in TX
You are right, we do need to know about all of the people running for office.

You first.

Since Obama might not died in office in the first six months, we should also know about him. About his true views. Or at least the ones he pretends to have today. Who made political contributions to his campaign. And how much he has had to return. Who his advisers have been. And how many he has thrown under the bus and why. And details about is personal life. Like any details about his college years, papers he wrote and friends he had.

Once he answers those, and doesn't say that they aren't "the real issues." Maybe we would care more about those type of questions for the second in command.

Mac had uptick in polls this am
People may be getting more interested in election and more aware of O's disqualifications.

Even if he weren't in the hip pocket of radicals and extemists, he has no resume, has never done anything except run for office, grab money (Woods, Annenberg, earmarks), cater to the left, and babble nonsense about the middle class of which as a multi-millionaire, he is no part of.

Lon
So it's McCain's fault that you and your fellow lefties are too ignorant to face up to the truth about Obama?

It's no coincidence that the word "ignorant" comes from the word "ignore". Ignorant people (like you, Lon) ignore the truth, and that's WHY they are ignorant.

And that's why people like you, Lon, vote Democrat, and have no respect for or comprehension of truth.


Check this out and share it
Serial liar Nancy Pelosi, ie, typical lib, almost helped America by mistake by announcing the $700 billion bailout (NOT popular) was a matter of fixing "republican" mistakes.

The truth is out there. And I'll tell you right where it is.

Carter and Clinton were the major drivers for the mortgage crisis. This can be checked. Google on the following search terms (copy/paste for a quick search: everything is on the results page, but you can dig as deeply as you like):

"Community Reinvestment Act" +Carter +1977

Carter signed it into law in his first year of his ONE term. Clinton kicked it into high gear in '95 and even higher in '98-'99. (Clinton will show up in the results from the search above.) Seems a lot like a manufactured crisis.

BTW, I agree with chord: the major mainstream media is simply not mainstream. I've been using the term "big media" for some time now for this very reason.

Sometimes I suspect that McCain is trying to throw the election because he says NOTHING about the current market crisis originating with Carter, abetted by Clinton later on.

The big media won't tell people this stuff, but informed Americans can share this information.

Bush should have been on this like white on rice in his second term, exposing it even if not successfully fixing it. He might use the bully pulpit to put some facts in front of the American people pronto, but what are the odds of something like THAT happening? Sad.

McCain is incapable.....
McCain is incapable of pointing these things out. Thats why the Dems and Moderates voted for him in open primaries. We should be hearing about Ayers, Wright and the endorsements of Farakkhan, Hamas, etc. 24 hours a day. McCain mentions it for a while, then gets freightened when the liberal media calls him racist. Does anyone think that Giuliani or Romney would not hit hard on this issue.
McCain should point out that the failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is a democrat scandal, that the only Dem receiving more money than Obama from the Dem hacks running these failed entities is Chris Dodd. Yet he never mentions it. That the Dems and their lapdogs in the media have turned thi a Republican scandal is obscene.
McCain said at the Republican convention that we should fight with him. The only thing we seem to be fighting for is for him to wake up and defeat the most dangerous Presdiential candidate in our history Barrack Hussein (sorry, I know I'm not supposed to say his middle name) Obama.

annfan, how ludicrous you are...
"Sarah Palin is more qualified than Barack Obama, any day."

Palin:
1) Started her job as mayor with a surplus, left her job as mayor with a $20 million debt.
2) Flip-flopped on bridge-to-nowhere AFTER it became a national joke.
3) As governor, still kept Alaska #1 with the most pork.

... yeah, those are great accomplishments.

annfan, still ludicrous...
"Oh, and he served a whopping 143 days in the Senate before determining that he was now ready to be Commander in Chief."

Obama was state senator for 8 yrs and will be US senator for 4 yrs before becoming President. That 12 yrs of experience... more than Reagan or Bush.

annfan, even more ludicrous...
"He voted present (the coward's method) so often that it became a running joke."

Obama only voted present about 130 times out of the 4,000 votes he made. Look at the number of times McCain never even voted and you'll see who the coward is. The only joke is on you.

jeff - lest you forget...
"...take Exxon/Mobile profits to place in us treasury..."

Did you forget that it was Palin that taxed the oil companies' "excess" profits while governor of Alaska? Hypocrit.

Jeffrey, and all other naive people...
Obama's mom in American, so it doesn't matter WHERE he was born. He could have been born in Canada and would still be American.

Where was McCain born? In Panama.

squirm, squirm...
Remember the republican primaries? You conservatives were disgusted with McCain... or as most of you called him: McLame.

I love how the conservatives' only ammunition is how "bad" Obama is. Rarely do I see a columnist write about how "good" McCain is.

Why? Because they know that McCain is not that great of a candidate.

This reminds me of the 2000 and 2004 elections. Liberals were not thrilled by either Gore or Kerry, but we knew Bush was bad. Yet, hatred is not reason enough to get people to vote.

because the Great One cannot be criticized or anything but loved by the masses.

Anyone see *Will to Power* lately?

If there is anything hypocritical in this election it is the entire O mob outfit. Chicago taught him really well.

O was the *past partisan* candidate who has turned into the most polarizing, fraudulent ($800,000 of campaign funds to ACORN whose voter registration is under investigation now in 11 states--and O never heard of them either), deceptive, obscuring, opaque, unknown candidate for anything ever.

The CONTRADICTION of voting for Obama
Please help start email campaigns to intelligently and respectfully edify moderate and independent voters about the 'contradiction' of voting for Obama. See http://wellspringposts.com and email that blog to your friends, neighbors and family members who are moderates voting for Obama. We need action NOW and less energy spent complaining! Please ACT now, there is time for people to wake up but it IS UPON US to get the TRUTH out about Obama's extreme social agenda. Since the media will not report the truth about Obama's DSA "New Party" membership now PROVEN - WE MUST ACT! This is compelling enough to explain the contradiction and turn votes NOW!

syler in TX
Obama only gets to count the days in office, before he started running.

Hard to say he will have 4 years in the Senate, when he has been running for President since he got there. What Annfan was saying is that he thought he was qualified then. Everyone is still waiting for some MAJOR piece of legislation that Obama wrote while in office.

Or for that matter, since he is running for office on the pledge that he will cut taxes for "95% of American families," the last time he voted to cut taxes. Or wrote legislation to cut taxes. Or did anything to cut taxes.




Correction to CONTRADICTION
http://wellspringposts.blogspot.com

Get activated now!

I'll write the good for McCain
Mac has never voted for a tax raise,

never had an earmark (O has had a $billion),

never called for defeat of US forces,

tried to curb the excesses of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae when no one listened in 2005 (opposed by Obama and the usual suspects),

offered an immigration bi-partisan law (conservatives didn't like it and I didn't either, but he had the guts to do it),

worked bi-partisanly for the campaign finance law (again, not a cons. bill, but MORE POST PARTISAN THAN ANYTHING THE BIG O HAS DONE),

championed veterans' reform,

produced the strategy for the surge, which worked with merely 20,000 more troops--considering Powell put 600,000 in Kuwait in 1991,

received 84% of the Hispanic vote in AZ the last time he ran for Senator,

has hiked the entire rim of the Grand Canyon,

actually visited Kuwair, Bosnia, and the Middle East many times before just criticizing any administration,

is that enough good stuff?

And, lest you forget, while most kids in the US were still in the dim future and their parents were pewling in their cribs, McCain was refusing early release as a prisoner of war from N.Vietnam as long as his fellow prisoners were captive.

The Great O--he who cannot be criticized--would have been out of the Hanoi Hilton so fast he would have left his own vapor trail in the stratosphere.


Thoughts
Bush swiftboated Kerry, but he started in August - not October. As a result, he had 90 days, whereas McCain has only 21. And that's McCain's problem now. His message has to be heard over the roar of the economy, as well as over the daily actions of Bush and Paulson - who are driving this bailout. And that's not a good thing for McCain, because the public isn't listening that much to what either he or Obama are saying on the economy - they're listening to what Bush is saying. And since Bush is the current GOP President, it makes it difficult for McCain to have a different voice than his - and Bush simply isn't popular. At the same time, Obama has the money to keep his message everywhere, whereas McCain does not. And even though the GOP has money to make up some of the difference, their ads must have 50% GOP content which does not mention McCain. And, needless to say, the Maverick and the GOP don't always agree.

Tough times. McCain still has a shot because the market recovery may take some of the fear out of the economy, but the last debate is on domestic issues - not foreign policy, and it's going to be difficult for McCain to use it to turn this thing around.

Amnesty John no better on this
re:
"Voters need to know that Obama favors giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. This practice is so unpopular with the voters that it brought down the political career of New York's recent unlamented Gov. Eliot Spitzer and caused the recall of California Gov. Gray Davis."

It is true that Obamanation wants to embrace ILLEGALS... the left correctly sees that they are leftist big government voters in waiting. The trouble is, however, Amnesty John like Presidente Jorge and various other RINO's sold out Middle America having made a Faustian calculation that there were some Hispanic votes (and business lobby $) to grab by truly supporting ILLEGAL aliens.

IF the RINO candidate had truly come out against ILLEGAL aliens and made it a key issue, Obama could be stopped... but Amnesty John is NOT the guy who can or would make that case. the left will win this time, and once back in control, will seek to naturalize 12-20 million ILLEGALS, thereby permanently taking control of America. It WAS a great country while it lasted.

This Wasn't Supposed to Happen?!?
HEL-LO!? I thought Mack's great strength was that he was so "electable"?!? I thought in spite of his treachery toward conservatives, he would appeal so much to so many "moderates," mainly by NOT arguing with his opponent or pointing out his opponent's liabilities (a.k.a. no "negative campaigning") he's in a corner of his own painting.

Instead we're getting a combination of 1996 Bob Dole & the 1960 version of Richard Nixon v. JFK, + a legislative record that positively dismays conservatives even more than Dole's record on taxes.

Where exactly are these "moderates" to whom those like Mack were supposedly pandering?! Why is it all thru the Congressional sessions & the primaries these "moderates" have to be appealed to, at the expense of blowing off conservatives, when they seem to just vanish like smoke in the general election? Why does Mack's general-election support seem to consist solely of those who are scared spitless, for good reason, of Obama?

If Mack does win, it will be painted as a mandate for instant citizenship for illegal aliens, Dem-approved judges, restrictions on (conservative) free election speech, & energy rationing. That's why he has no real base. He's nutty enough to do this stuff, while Obama even w/ a Dem Congress might be worried about future viability.

The only thing Mack would TRULY have a mandate for, is to NOT BE OBAMA.

Apparently, some Dems got the GOP candidate they wanted so Obama could beat him. Other Dems got the GOP candidate w/ the policies they want anyway.

What we really need him to do is win, then resign & get out of the way on Inauguration day so Sarah Palin can do the job.

MSM AIR COVER IS GREAT!
The Left Wing Media (sometimes called the MSM) does a great job protecting the O'Bummer from his mistakes, friends / associates, and socialist / marxist agendas. Only Fox TV, right wing talk radio, the conservative internet, and a few honest reporters on LWM give true / balanced reports.

Some advice for all you right wingers that are nearly hysterical about the coming Obama era.

1) Ideas win elections. You used to have some, now its all about hate, conspiracies, and name calling

2) The electorate is changing. You will either change with it or become a fringe minority party

3) Obama is going to win because he is speaking to the anxiety that regular people are feeling. The right wing wants to talk about Bill Ayers 24/7 (news flash - people don't care about this)

Instead of praying some judge is going to declare Obama a non-citizen (this is my favorite conspiracy theory), maybe you should get some ideas that appeal to a broad cross-section of the country.

Now you can all start calling me names :-)


Blame the Leftist Media
MSNBC in particular has painted Obama as "the perfect president". They have also painted Republicans as evil.

What they have failed to do is "dig" for the real truth of Obama. Or maybe they don't care.

Obama has surrounded himself (from the time he was a child in Hawaii) with extremists (communists, muslims, and terrorists). Bill Ayers chose him to spread his socialist agenda in our schools. Obama was a Chicago Community Organizer. He used the "Alinsky" method of teaching. Everyone should be aware of Alinsky's rules. Alinsky was a communist. Obama was a member of the Chicago Socialist Group. There is so much evidence about how he started his "political" career in Chicago and it was very "shody" to say the least. Obama has had many contact with his radical muslim cousin (Odinga) who lives in Kenya. He even rallied for him before the last election in Kenya. However, Odinga lost the election.
Obama has lied about so many of his friends and connections. He's so good at dismissing these people as acquaintances and in his minister's case, he didn't know about his radical and hatred of America. Now he is distancing himself from ACORN.

Obama has very cleverly told us what he wants us to believe. The real truth has been hidden.

He is UNFIT to be leader of America. God help us if he is elected.

IT'S OVER: PALIN'S UNETHICAL WINKING


...has finally had its' impact.

John McCain, the once honorable man, has caved to the wacko right and so lost his soul.
'

Now it is only a matter of how much. Ohio, Florida, Michican, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania...there is an entire litany of must-wins that he's just-lost.

Your wack polls don't work because young people, who vote overwhelmingly for progressive change, have cell phones. They don't answer you "pools".

Besides, we have rapid-response anti-vote suppression teams in every state and it's working. Diebold will find it much harder to steal this election. Just look at Missouri!


buh-bye....

.

God help us if Obama's not elected
If not, we'll be subject to the outrageous, facist demagoguery of the Schlafley/Palin far right loonies.

If McCain loses
The good news for conservatives if McCAin loses is that it will be another liberal presidency and Congress. Last time that happened, after two years of craziness from the Clintons the Congress went republican with a supermajority. Then the presidency went republican after 8 disgusting years of Slick Willy.

08=Obama
1010=Congress goes republican
2012=Presidency goes republican

sf dem, get your facts straight
Palin is running for vice president and Schlafly is not even on the ticket. So you'll be hearing from her regardless. Meanwhile, a president Obama (an extreme, far-left loonie) will have direct control over our lives with his socialist agenda. But a McCain presidency will more likely be moderate and more likely to reach between party lines. Isn't that what you want?

If Obama Wins...
He will be proven right about the electorate. Most voters are clueless and cling to their inanely stupid choice of some lefty who promises false hope and change you can't believe in anyway. I just don't get people who are so willing to vote for a empty suit that will ultimately ruin their lives and destroy what little America has left to really believe in.

I do however hope against all reason that the brain dead O'lackeys wake up and vote with the fat lady.

McCain-Palin 2008

Yes, but ...
...Obama is apparently not white. Being not white has nothing to do with his being a socialist, but it does have a lot to do with not being able to criticize him. If you criticize him, then you are making a George Wallace like attack. Maybe we can we criticize Obama's one-half white personna? And the radical mentor, Bill Ayres, is white so we can criticize Obama's hob-nobbing with old terrorists.

Spanish?
I have to laugh about BO sticking that mandate that in the child has to be able to speak Spanish.

Can he speak Spanish? He doesn't even speak Spanglish. Oy!

Obama himself speaks EngLies. It's the newest form of Demo-Speak.

two of a kind
You know I kind of missed old Phyllis. I loved it when she flew around the country promoting herself and making a lot of money by telling the rest of us woman we should be home with the kids.

Now we have Palin, working as Governor of Alaska and now running for VP telling us all about her family values. This family first lady has her mother looking after the kids while she is out being the breadwinner.

Two of a kind, hypocrites both, using the social christians to get what they want while stepping on whoever gets in their way.

Jeffrey
You're trying to corroborate the whole Obama citizenship issue by giving a link to a website that was started by the man that filed the lawsuit, Philip Berg? How sad.

Mr. Berg has also filed suits for clients against President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, claiming they knew about the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks before they happened. He also publicly asked Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia and Sandra Day O'Connor to disbar themselves for their decision in the controversial 2001 case Bush v. Gore.

He's on the fringe of sanity.

OK, let's not count his 4 years as US senator. He still has 8 yrs as Illinois State senator. That's still more experience than Reagan or Bush had.

You can write all you want about the so-called good about McCain, but conservatives aren't listening. All they want to hear is the "bad" about Obama and not the "good" about McCain.

Annfan
Is there an argument in what you said in response to my post? If so I missed it. Schafely has a list of untrue claims about Obama that would surprise people if they heard them and believed them to be true. Why does it reflect poorly on democrats that they ignore nonsense spouted by their political opponents. It would be better if they more consistently ignored nonsense spouted by their political allies.

I notice that in your previous post you acknowledge that Obama is the author of two books, so even you aren't so far gone as to swallow the silliest of Schafely's conspiracy theories. So why are you not put off by the fact that Schafely is peddling the "Ayres wrote Obama's book" nonsense. Doesn't it bother you when such idiocy is stated in defense for positions you hold?

I hate it when stupid people hold my views, and find it even worse when they are taken as spokespeople for my side.

maybe you should get some ideas that
appeal to a broad cross-section of the country.

Here's some:
1. Take money from some people and give it to others so they will vote for you.
2. Promise that everyone will have the best medical care possible without it costing them anything.
3. Promise that you will keep jobs from going overseas by punishing companies that outsource.
4. Forbid parents from seeking alternatives to the failed public schools in order to educate their children.
5. Withdraw from the theater of battle in Iraq and declare defeat.
6. Support unions in their attempt to do away with secret-ballot voting by workers.
7. Organize your very own "get out the vote" effort with tax-payer money and register anyone you can as many times as you can with instructions that they should vote for you. Pay for their votes if you have to.
8. Allocate trillions of dollars to inefficient energy production schemes that could never find success in an open and competetive market.
9. Promise not to produce more oil or coal from our own vast resources.
10. Bail out failing financial organizations that collapse from bad decisions; especially those that contribute to fund your political ambitions.
11. Distribute millions and millions of taxpayer dollars through the "pork" or earmark system.

Just a few. I'm sure there are more along these lines.


Dissecting the Commentary
This commentary reminds me of the line of questioning which says "When did you stop beating your wife?" The trick question immediately establishes the married man as a wife beater. The author provides a litany of "loaded statements" that are based on this well known debate tactic. First she says "We need to hear more about ACORN, the special-interest group that would like to steal this election by registering people who are not eligible to vote". The Guardian article at: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2008/oc t/13/election-acorn-voter-fraud shows that the above statement is false as there is no evidence that Acorn is trying to "steal the election".

Then she states "We should hear more about Obama's political friend William Ayers, the unrepentant bomber and Ward Churchill-type professor, who has a really scary plan to remake the curriculum of public schools in order to turn kids into radical socialists like himself. Obama helped deliver big bucks to Ayers' radical education project in Chicago." Taken this statement apart one finds numerous "loaded" conclusions, all of them either outright lies or leaps in logic. Let's look at the last part of the sentence, where it is claimed Obama delivered "big bucks to Ayers radical education project". CNN did a detailed investigation of the relationship of Obama and Ayers on the Annenburg Challenge Project and the Woods Foundation and found nothing out of the ordinary. For details see http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/07/obama.ayers/index.h tml. Ayers did receive money from the Annenburg Foundation through the Anneburg Challenge but it was eventually stopped as the project did not perform well. There is no evidence that it was a radical socialist program or that Obama personally arranged for the funding of this program.

Sandra
Nice try. Haven't the feminazis been arguing for years that women should not be kept at home? Now you say that Sarah Palin should be and is a hypocrite? Haven't you always wanted a woman in the WH? Oh, right-it was always understood that it had to be a democrat/pro-baby-killer and not a conservative/pro-lifer. Certainly a woman that supports conservative causes and does not respect the right to murder one's child has wandered so far off of the reservation as to barely be considered a "woman" at all. Jealousy rears it's ugly face!

CVN65
Boy you sure missed my point. I think all women should have the right to go out and get the best paying job she can get to support her family as long as a responsible person is taking care of the kids.

But it is hypocritical for a woman to travel the country making a ton of money while telling the rest of us to stay home.

Executive Experience
Is something that the empty suit and the empty head have none of and this fact causes his worshipers to attack Governor Palin who has more than both Democrats combined. The stupid lefty ad homonym attacks on Governor Palin over all other possible personal venues are deflection from the truth and the issues by the kool-aid drinkers and prove the point I just made. This is why John McCain must stick to the issues with Obama's character and the lies about his culpability in the looming financial debacle. Obama makes Barney Frank proud to be a crook.
McCain-Palin 2008

George
Obama has a law degree from Harvard Law where he graduated at the top of his class and was elected editor of the Harvard Law Review. He was a practicing lawyer, a state senator and a US Senator. Obama's Senate District has almost the same number of people in it as the entire state of Alaska.

Obama is on the Foreign Relations; Veteran’s Affairs;Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; and Homeland Security and Government Affairs Senate Committees.

Obama has sponsored serious legislation including the Lugar-Obama Nonproliferation Legislation which was signed into Law by the President Bush.

Obama is hardly an empty suit or an empty head.


associates
You all might want to go google William Timmons who was just named chief of McCain's transition team. Make sure you put Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park when you do the google. What exactly was McCain thinking?

Todd
Hey you guys might want to go ask Todd Palin who his contractor buddies were that helped him build his house.

BHO's "friends in radical corruption"
Ayers is but the icing on the cake
Have you forgotten his "cousin" Raila ODinga in Kenya who has a "citizens army" that's responsible for the burning of women and children in churches?
If being generous (which I'm not)
Father phledger(sic) we can forgive maybe

But what about Rev. Wright who damns America and thinks/preaches that we're commiting genocide against blacks with AIDS.

What about his contract with the NEW PARTY short for Democratic socialists of chicago or whichever?

This guy is like a bomb ready to go off he's going to trash the Republic and turn it into a gulag.

If you just vote present....
161 times, all of the claimed 'executive experience' amounts to one big smelly distrortion of the actual facts. It's like saying that a cab driver has the experience and training to fly a jumbo jet. I just don't think it fits. Govenor Palin actually enacted legislation for the good of her constituents. Obama organized the community to support ACORN goals that have destroyed our financial future.
Now that's his real genuine executive experience, Mr Obama! I think I prefer the level of Governor Palin's executive experience over that of Obama's staff organization at ACORN. She only ran a state government consisting of 40,000+ State employees and a 60 Billion dollar annual budget quite successfully. Ask anyone From Alaska and not New York if you want the truth on the subject. Also, ask anyone from the neighborhoods serviced by ACORN how happy they are with the results. It may open your lefty peepers wide enough to see the truth about your false messiah.

THIS IS BARACK OBAMAS ECONOMY
*
This economy tanked the moment Americans voted for change in 06 and turned control over to the Democrats, And the profligate pandering of home loans by BARACK OBAMA, THE DEMOCRATS and A C O R N started to unwind and become the Economic mess of our generation. Just look at the record.

In those two years, Gas has doubled, Heating oil doubled, food prices have skyrocketed, real estate and lending have gone bust because of Barrack Obamas forced lending policies that forced banks to write mortgages to people who didn't deserve one and a totally inept Congress lead by Nancy Stargazer and Dirty Harry Reid who now have a 8% approval rating and who voters believe care little about doing whats right for America and more about serving their own self interests justified by voting for the Bridge to Nowhere Twice, TWICE!-------TWICE!
Since taking control in 06 we have seen a complete abandonment of the peoples business in favor of endless hearings, witch hunts, blame and an America Last attitude; thats not leadership and thats why this is a BARRACK OBAMA DEMOCRAT ECONOMY.
The Democats now have the lowest approval rating in history.Their outright refusal to do anything about gas prices shows just how out of touch they are with the people of this country.
When the facts finally come out about ACORN and the lowering of financial standards for owning a home, promoted by Obama and the Democrats leading to the worst housing collapse in history, coupled with their Doomsday Energy Plan, maybe then will see some REAL REFORM in 08.

REPEAL “CHANGE 08”

McCain-Palin 2008

The Media should be exposing Obama
Is that not why and what they have been given stewardship over ...

I've linked to your post from ... "BlogWatch: Main Stream Media Vetting Candidates?" http://www.jeremiahfilms.com/BlogWatch/newsMedia/VettingCa ndidates/

Dissecting The Commentor II
Let us go on a look further into the "loaded" conclusions in this commentary. The author states "Four-dollar gasoline at the pump and the need for energy independence by drilling for American oil could be the No. 1 issue in the 2008 election. It should be hammered home to the voters that McCain and Sarah Palin are on the right side of this issue and Obama is wrong." The author fails to mention that the price of oil has gone down in recent months and this was not the result of new drilling in the US. It was largely a result of demand going down 4.5% in the US and the movement of funds out of oil futures by speculators. If the McCain Palin plan is to lower gasoline prices by only increasing drilling in the US then it is doomed to failure. Both McCain and Obama have called for increased drilling in the US and for development of other sources of energy. Both support conservation measures.

The author states "American voters need to be told that the current financial crisis was caused by the liberal policies of men who are mostly Democrats." First, let me point out that Congress was controlled by Republicans in 1999. Secondly, most analysts state the collapse of the big investment banks are the result of too little regulation not too much regulation. They point to the SEC waiver in 2005 increasing the leverage ratio for these banks from 12 to 1 to 40 to 1. This allowed these banks to trade even more into derivatives of mortgages creating worthless credit default swaps and other "paper". They also brought in companies such as AIG to insure these derivatives, bringing this giant down with them. These activities were all outside the oversight of Congress. The more lenient lending practices started at the end of the Clinton term were not the main reason for the demise of the investment banking system.

Where is the pride NY Times?
It's funny that whenever a newspaper write's something and they are proven correct down the road, that paper brags how they got it right.
I have the NY Times Sept. 30, 1999 article right in front of me. It clearly points the blame of the upcoming financial Fannie Mae crisis to the Clinton administration pressures and Franklin Raines. Yet, you won't see a reprint of this article in any MSM.


To Al
That article written in 1999 did not predict the collapse of Lehman Brothers and other investment banks. Did the NY Times predict that the SEC would allow investment banks to have less money on reserves than is prudent (40 to 1). In reality a totally new type of investment paper was created during the Bush Administration which was placed largely outside the oversight of the Federal government. It seems to me you are being very selective with your criticism. What is your comment as to the effect of increasing the leverage ratios in 2005 by the SEC?

Panamanian?
Do we really need to elect someone who was born in Panama? Haven't we been demanding that McCain show his original birth certificate? Where is it? Hmmmmmmmm. Maybe they "lost" it. It is really, really important that we know for certain, right Cons?

Islam is very important in Panama. Again, I'm not trying to say he's Islamic, but somebody should look this us. Please, some dumb Con should spend countless hours trying to assure us that McCain isn't attempting a Trojan Horse maneuver where once elected, all of his minions storm out and take over the US. I know -- weird and crazy thoughts, but I'm just borrowing from the Book of Cons.

And Rove taught us thay Mac has a black child. SCARY! Why doesn't Mac come clean with this. Nothing has been proven, so lets waste some more Con time with research into the ridiculous.

McCain never really graduated 5th from last in his Naval Academy class -- he never really graduated at all. Mommy had a good talk with the school and allowed him to pass after he was kicked out. Quick, get another Con on this subject.

McCain certainly used drugs while in Vietnam, but has never proven that he stopped. Looks fishy to me -- yet another Con needs to get back to us with this very important info so we can all be derailed from important issues.

Awwww, forget it. You lost the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. Do us all a favor and keep on delving into nonsense politics that only the 29%-ers can appreciate. Keeps you occupied on your tin-foil topics.

There's lots to worry about
I've compiled some info on Obama's circle of friends; an assortment of radicals and extremists. Here's the link

http://inyourrightmind.blogtownhall.com/2008/10/10/obama__w ho_are_you.thtml

What little record he has is poor. He spent $100M with the Annenberg Challenge to improve Chicago's schools with no benefit. He got millions for low income housing, profiting his friends, but the projects run by these friends were dilapidated and some were even condemned. He promised a middle class tax break when he ran for the Senate, but never proposed a tax break bill. The National Taxpayers Union rates him an "F" for responsible spending.

OBAMAS $150million WORTH OF LIES

And let's not forget that as board chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (chosen for the job by Bill Ayers), Obama had a cool $150 million to use to improve Chicago schools.

Where did the money go? Well, we know that a group received a grant for their "Juneteenth" celebration, but the "Chicago Algebra Project" request was turned down. The "Peace School" got a grant, but the "District 5 Math Initiative" did not.

After blowing through a cool $150 million, what did the CAC have to show for its expenditures? Nothing.

When you walk into that voting booth next month, remember Obama's only executive experience. $150 million spent, with nothing to show for it. Imagine him "improving" education for the entire country in the same way he "helped" Chicago school students. Or implementing a new health care system. Or any of the other 1,001 new programs he's going to create to solve all our problems.


Obama - Smears or Truth?

Democrats say the associations and nefarious friends of Barack Obama mean nothing and is just a smear campaign.

I don't know if you have children or grandchildren.

You would NOT be concerned if your daughter or granddaughter hung around with drug dealers?

You would NOT be concerned if your daughter or granddaughter hung around with someone convicted of prostitution or pornography involving under age girls?

You would NOT be concerned if your son or grandson hung around with members of NAMBLA?

You would NOT be concerned if your son or grandson hung around with members of a dangerous cult accused of murdering innocent people?

I know these are just analogies, but if someone told you about dangerous people the ones you love are 'hanging' with - would you just ignore it because it was a 'smear campaign' against dangerous people - or would you be concerned for your loved ones?

The preponderance of evidence of Obama and radicals and Marxists associations and friends are overwhelming.

Only those blinded by ideology can ignore it.

Ted
Let's review the timeline here. The tech boom collapsed in the late 1990's and then 9/11 happened in 2001 which hammered the stock market. Investors began looking for a new place to put their money and they found the housing market. Investment firms began buying up bundled sub-prime mortgages which Moodys and Standard and Poors for some reason decided to label as AAA securities. The investment firms then leveraged these now AAA securities to take on more debt to make even more bad investments.

Everything was great until the beginning of 2006 (although I believe it was really in 2005) when the housing boom started going bust. Foreclosures were on the rise and housing prices were falling. Too many homes had been built in suburban subdivisions and upscale condos were a dime a dozen and the investors had fled.

Now remember the housing bust started in 2006. The Democrats "took control" of Congress in January of 2007, one full year after the housing bust started. By the way it is actually a tie in the Senate which is one reason nothing gets done.

Gas doubled in price because in January of 2006 George Bush deregulated the way oil futures could purchased. He took away the oversight that was in place to stop the speculation that caused the price increase. Economic experts believe that at least 60% of the increase in gasoline prices are from oil futures speculation. Once again the Democrats had absolutely nothing to do wiht it.

Obama 'Hope and Change' for Housing
Obama Common Good Housing
By Binyamin Appelbaum
Globe Staff / June 27, 2008
CHICAGO - "The squat brick buildings of Grove Parc Plaza, in a dense neighborhood that Barack Obama represented for eight years as a state senator, hold 504 apartments subsidized by the federal government for people who can't afford to live anywhere else.

But it's not safe to live here.

About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.

Grove Parc has become a symbol for some in Chicago of the broader failures of giving public subsidies to private companies to build and manage affordable housing - an approach strongly backed by Obama as the best replacement for public housing.

Obama and ACORN Stealing Votes

"ACORN is a grassroots political organization that grew out of George Wiley's National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO), whose members in the late 1960s and early 70s invaded welfare offices across the U.S. -- often violently -- bullying social workers and loudly demanding every penny to which the law "entitled" them.

ACORN's mandate today includes all issues touching low-income and working-class people.

The organization runs schools where children are trained in class consciousness; it oversees a network of "boot camps" where street activists are trained; and it conducts operations that extort contributions from banks and other businesses under threat of trumped-up civil rights charges.

In the 2004 and 2006 election cycles, ACORN and its sister group Project Vote ran nationwide voter mobilization drives that were marred by allegations of fraudulent voter registration, vote-rigging, voter intimidation, and vote-for-pay scams.

Beginning in the mid-1980s, Obama worked with ACORN and Project Vote.

In 1995 Obama sued, on behalf of ACORN, for the implementation of the Motor Voter law in Illinois. (Jim Edgar, the Republican Governor of Illinois, opposed the law because he believed that allowing voters to register using only a postcard would breed widespread fraud.)

ACORN later invited Obama to help train its staff. Moreover, Obama eventually would sit on the Board of the Woods Fund of Chicago, which gave a number of sizable grants to ACORN.

In April 2007 The Nation reported, “Today Obama continues his organizing work largely through classes for future leaders identified by ACORN and the Centers for New Horizons on the south side [of Chicago].”


Retired Geek forget how to quote
"You would NOT be concerned if your daughter or granddaughter hung around with drug dealers?... with someone convicted of prostitution or pornography involving under age girls?... members of NAMBLA?... members of a dangerous cult accused of murdering innocent people?"

Good points. From now on, my daughter is not allowed to associate with Republicans.

Phyllis Schlafly IS AN UNBELIEVAB LIAR !
Schafly writes: "Voters need to know that Obama favors giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. This practice is so unpopular with the voters that it brought down the political career of New York's recent unlamented Gov. Eliot Spitzer and caused the recall of California Gov. Gray Davis."

EVERYONE WHO KNOWS WHO SPITZER IS, KNOWS THERE WAS ONE REASON AND ONE REASON WHY HIS POLITICAL CAREER WAS BROUGHT DOWN - PROSTITUTES.

EVERYONE WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH GRAY DAVIS'S RECALL KNOWS IT WAS OVERWHELMINGLY BECAUSE OF HIS HANDLING OF THE ELECTRICITY CRISES (MANUFACTURED BY ENRON & THEIR ILK).

Poor pitiful Phyllis. She must realize she's only getting thru to the tin hat wearing right wingers who relish ANYTHING & EVERYTHING ANYONE SAYS BAD ABOUT OBAMA.

Trying to reason with these people and actually use, you know, facts is too much for them to handle. It is a lot easier to just let the rightwingnuts to the thinking for you than to actually research something themselves. But they are easy pickings and so very easy to upset.

Americas Fianacial Nightmare is Obama
Its not ACORN and voter registration. Thats just political belly aching you hear in every campaign. Even thouh this time it appears Obama has truly tried to "CHANGE" the American voting process, Its not the political hurricane thats breaking over this election; its ACORN and the Democrats who sold the American people the wholesale destruction of their Financial future by forcing banks to sell mortgages to people who could never ever pay them back, there by Destroying our Economy like a house of cards; and for this my freind retribution awaits them.
Barack Obama the "Constitutional" thats C O N S T I T U T I O N A L Lawyer who sued banks for not issuing enough bad paper to people who hadn't earned the right to a legitimate Mortgage, MUST be revealed for what he is; A CROOK........
Being from Chicago we have to deal with Democrat voter fraud (sign up the dead, vote early and often) and Jerrymandering every election cycle and what does that get us here. Barack Obama. And state void of Republicans and a 20 percent corruption tag on every good and service sold.
But you screw around with peoples life savings, their home values, their 401k's and their way of life that they worked so hard to attain, and you,ve got a REBELLION.
And thats what your seeing on these posts.
Get it.
For Obama's participation in the wholesale destruction of our formerly "envy of the world" economy he should be SKEWERED morning noon and knight until this nightmare campaign ends.


ted
Did you read my last post at all or did you just blow by it because it contained facts that you don't want to hear.

Nobody forced the investment firms to sell mortgages to low income people, actually they weren't writing the mortgages at all. They were buying them up to use as collateral on more bad investments. The traditional banks were making money on the CRA loans they were writing. The banks weren't happy because traditional mortgages made more money but they did make money.

The problem started when the mortgage brokers and investment firms got into the business. Take a drive through a new subdivision near you and look at the foreclosure signs. Poor people were not buying these homes. Look at all the high end condos that are in foreclosure, again these were not purchased by poor people.

Investors, flippers, developers, home builders, mortgage brokers, realtors, and investment firms all had a hand in this.

"..marxism also says that state is an arena of struggle.

While the ruling class employs the state apparatus, including violence when necessary, to impose its interests on society, a united working class and people can successfully resist these measures from within as well as outside state structures.

This was done in the 1930s and in so doing, secured important victories for the nation’s working class and its allies.

It was also done in the 1960s and in doing so brought down the system of legal segregation. And we see it again today in the incredible efforts of millions of working people of all races and nationalities and their allies to elect Barack Obama and larger Democratic Party Congressional majorities in November.

Indeed, it is a task that takes on even greater significance given the financial storm that is shaking our country."

Obama's Security Force

Obama's National Security Force

"We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set," he said. "We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded."
Barack Obama Speech July 2, 2008 Colorado Springs CO
------------------------------------------------

If I could get each of you to think just 30 seconds about this.

Barack Obama said: 'civilian national security force'.

Civilian - Would MOT include military or other Law Enforcement agencies.
National - Would NOT recognize State Boundaries.
Security - Security for what?
Force - This word usually denotes power and authority.

Why does Barack Obama want a Civilian Security Force?
1) Just as powerful as the Military.
2) Just as strong as the Military.
3) Just as well funded as the Military.

What will Barack Obama have this 'Civilian National Security Force' do?

Help in hurricanes or other disasters? - we already have the state National guard.

Some have said 'The National Guard is in Iraq and Afghanistan' but Barack Obama plans to have them home less than halfway through the Obama administration.

If America ignores this threat of an Obama personal 'Security Force' - I believe America is doomed.

ACORN + Communists = 'Family Tradition'

"...Two months later, on January 31, in this hall, we held an extraordinary national conference which established our framework for the 2004 elections.

The conference was extraordinary because of the turnout of 250 plus multi-racial, multi-national activists from states large and small across our land. It was extraordinary because of the message of leaders from other organizations who came and called upon us, that our presence was much needed as Communists.

Remember the president of NY NOW telling us she wanted to see lots of red flags at the March for Women’s Lives.

And the chair of ACORN and Working Families Party who called upon us as family to make our contribution known. Did we respond? YES, we responded!

Across the country, we rolled up our sleeves, in swing states and so-called safe states.

In voter registration drives, local races and Congressional battlegrounds. Walking precincts and working phone banks out of union halls.

In presidential battleground states from Ohio, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to Minnesota and New Hampshire, our folks were quickly tapped to help lead the work."

Phyllis, uh, uh,. . . Hello!
Not sure where you have been since mid-September, but we have been paying attention and McCain - Palin is the worst Republican ticket in my lifetime!. McCain is advocating for CORPORATE WELFARE !! Palin has been found ABUSING POWER as a governor. McCain traded his first wife in for a younger, wealthier, prettier Blonde. This isn't the type of morality the Republican party should present on the ticket. CHRIS BUCKLEY IS CORRECT!!

CORRUPTION & OBAMA = "CHANGE"

Barack Obama is a fraud and a liar.
_Schooled and Educated politically in the most corrupt City State of this Nation, who’s second Governor___In- A –Row, RODNEY BLAGO, is on his way to Jail.
Barack Obama’s Friend and supporter Rod Blagojevich, is now being Filleted by Barack Obama’s other long time Friend, personal political fundraiser and backdoor real estate agent, Shylock TONY REZKO, who was just sentenced to 26 years in the big house for being an enemy of the state is making sure of that! 26 years is a longtime, and you know sometimes friends, especially these kind, just don’t matter. And the FBI sees it the same way. Bye Bye Rod its not been nice Knowing YOU!

Does anyone see a pattern here, or is it just us Chicagoans. Coming from a city where every good and service sold has a 20-Percent Corruption Fee attached, and has to deal with South Side politicians, Obamas hood,(although northside east or west,it makes no difference), who would rather install their next of kin to vacated posts, then have free and fair elections.

Its hard to see HOW the rest of the country believes this kind of Political Sewage means “CHANGE”___from the political Shylocks in Washington who Killed this Economy.

Obama Alliance with Bill Ayers

Bill Ayers - Carefully Chosen Friend

There is an old Spanish saying.
“Tell me who you walk with, and I will tell you WHO YOU ARE!”

"I chose my friends carefully." - Barack Obama (Dreams of My Father)

Bill Ayers is a carefully chosen friend of Barrack Obama. Born in 1944, Currently a professor of education at the University of Illinois.

Who is Bill Ayers?
------------------
1) Leader of the 1960s and 70s domestic terrorist group Weatherman. The Weatherman issued a 'Manifesto', calling for armed opposition to US policies, includig Capitalism and asked white radicals to launch a 'Race War' against 'White Skin Privilege'. Leaders like Mark Rudd (currently a mathematics professor at a New Mexico community college) traveled illegally to Cuba in 1968 for terroist training by Soviet KGB Colonel Vadim Kotchergine, who taught Marxist philosophy and urban warfare. Weather men always spelled America - 'AmeriKKKa'.

2) "Kill all the rich people. ... Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents." Bill Ayers

3) Participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, of the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972. Ayers proudly stated that he didn’t "regret setting the bombs. I feel we didn’t do enough."

"America is NOT a just and fair and decent place - it makes me want to puke." Ayers said in 2001

In the mid-1990s, Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn hosted meetings at their Chicago home to introduce Barack Obama to their neighbors during Barack Obama's first run for the Illinois Senate.

In 1999 Ayers joined the Woods Fund of Chicago, where he served as a director alongside Barack Obama until the Obama left the Woods board in December 2002.

Review of Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC) documents shows that Ayers and Obama each chaired the two CAC operating bodies from 1995 to 2000.

Michelle Obama started working at a law firm with Bernadette Dohrn, Ayers wife, in 1985.

Obama Mentored by Communists

Frank Marshall Davis - Barrack Obama Mentor

There is an old Spanish saying.
“Tell me who you walk with, and I will tell you WHO YOU ARE!”

"I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets." - Barack Obama (Dreams of My Father)

When Barack Obama was about 10 years old his maternal grandfather thought that Obama needed a black man as a role model for his grandson - he chose Frank Marshall Davis.

1) Communist writer and poet (1905-1987)

2) Dedicated supporter of the Soviet Union and enemy of America.

Frank Marshall Davis (1905-1987) was a black poet and writer (he wrote for the Honolulu Record, a Communist newspaper), and a known member of the Soviet-controlled Communist Party USA (CPUSA).

Davis was identified unequivocally as a CPUSA member in a 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii (CSALTH), which, along with HUAC, also charged that Davis was affiliated with a number of communist-front organizations.

Davis penned many poems during his lifetime. One of them, titled "To the Red Army," hailed the Soviet revolution and condemned the "rich industrialists" in Washington DC and London who allegedly wanted Hitler and the Nazis to "wipe Communism from the globe."

Davis also wrote poems deriding traditional Christianity. In some of these compositions, Davis called Christ "a Dixie Ni**er" who was nothing more than "another New White Hope"; he derided Christians as hypocrites "who buy righteousness like groceries"; and he spoke of Africans being killed with a "Christian gun" by missionaries following "the religion of Sweet Jesus," rather than by a spear.


Who is Tim Wheeler?

Tim Wheeler is a National Board member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA), and has been a key figure in the party's Baltimore chapter since the early 1970s. From 1991 to 2003 he was editor of the CPUSA newspaper People's Weekly World, and he currently serves as the publication's national political correspondent.

In 2008 Wheeler became a prominent figure in Barack Obama’s presidential campaign.

He helped organize local canvassing and visibility events for the candidate, and he chronicled his experiences on the campaign trail in a blog that appeared on the Obama campaign website.

Who is Michael Klonsky?
"I chose my friends carefully." Barack Obama, Dreams of My Father

Did Barack Obama chose the choose the bloggers on his Campaign Website with as carefully?

Michael Klonsky (born 1943) is an American educator and political activist, a leader of the New Communist Movement.

Michael Klonsky, whose disgust for mainstream politics led him to launch a new, Maoist Communist Party in the 1970s, today supports Barack Obama so enthusiastically that until recently he was blogging on the Illinois senator’s Official campaign website.

“My own support for Obama is not a reflection of a radically changed attitude toward the Democratic Party, rather, it’s a recognition that the Obama campaign has become a rallying point for young activists and offers hope for rebuilding the civil rights and antiwar coalitions that have potential to become a real critical force in society.” Michael Klonsky.

Michael Klonsky is the former leader of SDS - Students for a Democratic Society.

Can every 'Radical' and 'Communist' in America be wrong about Barack Obama.

Who is Carl Davidson?

"I chose my friends carefully." Barack Obama, Dreams of My Father

Who is Carl Davidson - who helped organize the rally in 2002 where the featured speaker was Barack Obama?

Carl Davidson, who was one of SDS’s three elected national officers in 1968.

1) Marxist anti-war activist.

2) Former member of Students for a Democratic Society.

3) Political supporter of Barack Obama.


Carl Davidson joined Michael Klonsky (leader of the New Communist Movement) in rejecting traditional politics for fringe Marxist movements. More recently, he helped organize the 2002 rally in which Obama first spoke out against the Iraq War and now serves as the webmaster of Progressives for Obama.

In 1992 Davidson became a leader of the newly formed Committees of Correspondence, a Marxist coalition of former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members.

The organization has since changed its name to the 'Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism', where Davidson remains a prominent figure.

Davidson was a major player in the Chicago branch of the 'New Party', a Marxist political coalition.

Most New Party members hailed from the 'Committees of Correspondence', 'the Democratic Socialists of America', and the militant leftist organization ACORN.

Carl Davidson first met Barack Obama through the 'New Party', which endorsed the Barack Obama in his run for the Illinois state senate in 1996. Obama had actively sought this endorsement, and he used a number of New Party volunteers as campaign workers.

Surely every Marxist, Socialist and Radical cannot be wrong about Barack Obama - can they?


obama's Racist Background

"Nation of Islam (NOI) leader Louis Farrakhan has a long, well-documented history of venom-laced references to the “white devils” and Jewish “bloodsuckers” who purportedly decimate America's black community from coast to coast.

He has referred to Judaism as a “gutter religion,” and to Adolf Hitler as “a great man” -- though he later claimed that he had meant only that Hitler was “wickedly great.” He has characterized “the white man” as the “anti-Christ”; charged that there is a “conspiracy of our government against the black male”; stated that “a decree of death has been passed on America,” which, in “the judgment of God, … must be destroyed”; declared that “there is no wicked nation in the past that approaches the evil that is practiced in America on a daily basis”; referred to white people as “potential humans” who “haven’t evolved yet”; and impugned whites as “vicious beasts” and “the skunks of the planet.”

In 1995 Barack Obama -- along with such notables as Al Sharpton and Jeremiah Wright -- helped organize the Farrakhan’s famous Million Man March in Washington, DC. Said Obama in the immediate aftermath of that event:"

“What I saw was a powerful demonstration of an impulse and need for African-American men to come together to recognize each other and affirm our rightful place in the society…. Historically, African-Americans have turned inward and towards black nationalism whenever they have a sense, as we do now, that the mainstream has rebuffed us, and that white Americans couldn’t care less about the profound problems African-Americans are facing.”

Obama Supporters attack Sarah Palin

Obama associate and supporter, Tom Hayden explains why the Barack Obama camp, Marxists, Socialists and othe nefarious Obama supporters, are attacking Sarah Palin.
------------------------------------------------

By Tom Hayden
Progressives for Obama

"September 13, 2008 - A principle reason for Progressives For Obama is so that we can say things that the Obama campaign cannot or will not say.

This is one of those times.

Sarah Palin is a mortal threat to the possibility of Obama winning. The reason is simple: if she can add a couple of points to McCain from defecting white women and the newly-energized right wing religious base without losing more independent votes, McCain pulls ahead in some key states."

Who is Tom Hayden?
------------------

The Former SDS president Tom Hayden.

Michael Klonsky (former blogger on the Barack Obama official website) remembers Hayden plotting to spread nails on a highway; another SDS leader recalls Hayden encouraging activists to firebomb police cars.

Tom Hayden's former wife:
"I would think that if you understood what Communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees, that we would someday become communists."
Jane Fonda


Who is Bernardine Dohrn ?

In the 1960s, Bernardine Dohrn and her husband Bill Ayers were leaders of the Students for a Democratic Society's "Weatherman" faction, which in 1969 went underground to become America's first terrorist cult.

At a 1969 "War Council" in Flint, Michigan, Dohrn gave her most memorable and notorious speech to her followers.

Holding her fingers in what became the Weatherman "fork salute," she said of the bloody murders recently committed by the Manson Family in which the pregnant actress Sharon Tate and several other inhabitants of a Benedict Canyon mansion had been brutally stabbed to death: "Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim's stomach! Wild!" Dohrn is currently an Associate Professor of Law at Northwestern University.

Michelle Obama first met Bernardine Dohrn in 1985 when they worked together at a Chicago law firm.

In the mid-1990s Dohrn and her husband, Bill Ayers, hosted meetings at their Chicago home to introduce Barack Obama to their neighbors during his first run for the Illinois Senate.


Palmer at weekly mtgs Ayers-Obama

During the Cold War, Palmer supported the Soviet Union and spoke against the United States.

In the 1980s she served as an executive board member of the U.S. Peace Council, which the FBI identified as a Communist front group (and which was an affiliate of the World Peace Council, an international Soviet front).

In the mid-1990s, Palmer attended a number of political meetings at the Chicago-area home of her friends and ideological allies, former Weatherman terrorists Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn.

At those gatherings, Palmer developed a friendly relationship with another attendee, a young aspiring politician named Barack Obama.

As Palmer prepared to leave the state senate and run for the US Congress, she hand-picked Barack Obama as the person she most wanted to fill her newly vacated senate seat.

Toward that end, she introduced Obama to party elders and donors as her preferred successor, and helped him gather the signatures required for getting his name placed on the ballot.

Alice Palmer was defeated in the Congressional race and asked Barack Obama to withdraw from the race for her former seat.

Obama refused to withdraw so she ran against him and gathered the necessary signatures on her petition.

Obama promptly challenged the legitimacy of those signatures and charged Palmer with fraud.

A subsequent investigation found that a number of the names on Palmer’s signature list were invalid, thus she was knocked off the ballot.

“I liked Alice Palmer a lot, I thought she was a good public servant." Barack Obama
------------------------------------------------

Barack Obama will discard anyone when he is finished using them. I wonder how he would have treated her if he didn't like her?

To Lefties: Wake Up!

I have been posting facts and points of view different from lefties on one of your sites, and was blacklisted the next day. None of my posts are showing on the site. The site says that you blog because you tire of the lies. At the same time, they filter posts and get rid of those which do not bash Bush and McCain, who do not call Sarah Palin dirty names, and do not curse….

Think again: BHO with a big government and wealth distribution (how about promising tax cuts to 95% Americans while 40% do not pay taxes, which is another way to increase welfare pay outs) , and suppression of freedoms and liberties, OR McCain…..Since you are on this site, it means you are thinking and enjoying intelligent discussions, unlike specimens on the libs sites who just need a place to express their animal hate for all and everything associated with Republicans …Think, please….


Bill Ayers
Ted, you are of course aware that the Annenberg Foundation was founded by Walter Annenberg who was a close personal friend of Ronald Reagan and was appointed by Richard Nixon to be ambassador to the Unidted Kingdom. You are also of course aware that John McCain claims that Annenberg's widow is supporting him for the Presidency. You also probably know that Wallis Annenberg their daughter is the vice president of the foundation. It sounds like an awful lot of Republicans are involved with old Billy Ayers too.

Ever look up McCain's newly appointed chief of his transition team, William Timmons to discover Timmons relationship to Sanur Vincent and Tongsun Park who worked for Sadam Hussein?

Sorry, Samir Vincent - I was typing too fast.

Fault
If Obama wins and things keep getting worse, will he and his supporters accept responsibility? Or will we get 4-8 years of Bush bashing? You can't blame the past forever. But I fear with the MSM in his pocket, this is exactly what Obama will do. If you are a conservative Republican these days you just can't win. God help us all.

The Truth Hurts...
I assembled a damaging 1961-2008 "Obama Timeline" at: http://colony14.net/id41.html

Needless to say, I'm getting tremendous "hate e-mails" from leftists. They are all complaining and hurling insults, but NONE has refuted the facts as I presented them. I wonder why...

Telling the truth is NOT negative advertising or negative campaigning, it is merely revealing facts that the opponent and the media are choosing to hide. Needless to say, if McCain doesn't get tougher in the next two weeks, he will lose the election. If he loses, America loses.

Berg v. Obama, No. 08-cv-04083

Illuminati Films has produced a 10 minute video in which Phil J. Berg is interviewed. Mr. Berg lays out his case in Berg v. Obama, and explains why it is important for the case to be resolved quickly. In his argumentation, Mr. Berg points out that Senator Obama could settle the lawsuit immediately by producing the proper documents to prove Obama is a natural-born citizen as required by our constitution.

file under fiction
At least Syphyllis Sch-laughly is good at fictional prose. Her "facts" above need some serious checking, but the beauty of the internet is you can put out these lies and some people will believe them. These are lies, pure and simple. Too many to go into, but a quick one regarding the recall of CA Gov. Gray Davis - that had NOTHING, ZERO to do with drivers licenses for illegal immigrants. It was all about the energy scam being played on California by the likes of ENRON (remember them?).

Good lord this woman is a lying piece of work!

What a breath of fresh air it would be to have someone like her bash the HATRED and RACE-BAITING and cries of "palling around with terrorists" that have become the sum total of McCain's Titanic-like campaign. Disgusting spewed hatred being screamed by McPalin supporters, FULLY reminiscent of G Wallace's campaign. Thank God Obama is not apologizing for Rep. Lewis's spot on remarks. It's time somebody stops all the hate in this country. It's obviously not going to be McPalin or Schaffly, but then, maybe her wig's just on too tight. Or maybe she's just another hate-filled frigid Repugnicant. Or more likely, both. And that is not pretty. Pardon me while I vomit!

Notice on she does not tell one positive thing about McCain?

Wilson54
Why is the Republican party in such disrepute. Is it the fault of the MSM or could it be that they screwed up and the public wants to FIRE THEIR SORRY .... and hire the other team.

If you are a moderate or liberal on this site you are going to be called some awful names. That said, I do think than some of the regulars here like to mix it up with the otherside.

As to the liberal sites, since you are not telling us which one it is hard to tell. There are lots of sites out there and some are very controlled others are more open.

I have heard some pretty distasteful and disrespectful posts here on Townhall and I wish the decent people would call them out. (even if they are from your side).

Are you willing to state here that you will call out someone who goes over the line?

Sandra
You are wrong, both boys and girls. BTW the NY POST had an article about a former NYS state Senator and 102,000 who was caught in a sting at an upstate motel with kiddy Porn and sex toys waiting for an underage person (Post did not mention the gender)

This guy was a law and order type who proposed greater penalties for child pornography a good lesson that the louder they scream the more guilty they probably are.
\

The Republican Party is a cesspool of sexual perverts, followed right behind by the Dems who are a cesspool of perverts who are only slightly less self righteous.


Sandra Just to help you out

In case you did not know the article is about 'McCain's Prospects Depend on Telling Truth About Obama'.

Sandra tell us the 'Truth' about Barack Obama and his executive experience - that would dispel the rumors that he only has rhetoric..

Sandra tell us the 'Truth' about Barack Obama and his legislative accomplishments - a list would be nice.

Sandra tell us the 'Truth' about Barack Obama and his 'Hope' - I don't think anyone has ever done that before - great opportunity for you.

Sandra tell us the 'Truth' about Barack Obama and his radical alliances - that would be enlightening.

Sandra tell us the 'Truth' about Barack Obama and his redistribution of weailth and why that is not Marxist/Socialism.

Sandra tell us the 'Truth' about Barack Obama and why 'Affirmative Action' is fair to all American Citizens.

You can stay on subject and help Barack Obama.

The Origin of Modern Marriage

Why did the government become involved in marriage?

Marriage started in 1753 in England and Wales and it was named the Marriage Act of 1753 or Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act and it called for the couple to be at least 21 years old and if they weren't then they needed the consent of the parent.

Before this law the couple could be as young as seven years old and get married.
They also had to get married in a church or the marriage wouldn't be legal.

The original Marriage Act was the result of the many orphans being abandoned and becoming a burden on society.

The Marriage contract made men responsible for their children relieving society from the financial burden of raising those children and placing it where it belonged.

'Collectivists' always want to take the 'Bad Decisions' and actions of individuals and place the results of those bad actions and decisions on othe American Citizens in the name of 'Sacrifice For The Common Good'.

The Marriage act NEVER had anything to do with sexual preferences but rather the protection of children - which Homosexuals cannot have by definition.

Homosexuals want the rights and benefits extended to those who conceive and bear children even though they are incapable of procreation.

Society by law, decided to extend benefits to the blind.

Analogous to what Homosexuals want by 'Homosexual Marriage' is for a sighted citizen to receive the same rights as someone who is blind.

Homosexuals immediately respond by citing instances where a man and woman are married that are incapable of procreation, because of medical issues.

Present laws do NOT require a medical exam to prove the ability of a couple to procreate before marriage which of course be a violation of privacy rights.

Every American Citizen has the same right to marry someone of the opposite sex as any other American Citizen.

"Gas prices doubled form DE-REGULATION"!
And pigs fly when the cow jumps over the moon.
Do you think maybe the Energy Austerity Plan Democrats started 30 years ago has something to do with it____Sandra?
Do you think the fact the we Haven't drilled for Oil & Gas in the most fertile feilds off our shores might have something to do with it
Sandra, where right off the coast of Mississippi there is enough proven-thats proven natural gas to light up this country by itself for the next fifteen years.
Or the fact that we haven't had a nuclear policy in this country since your sage Jimmy,1 term and out,Carter disgraced the office.
Or the fact that we haven't built an oil refinery in this country for 30 plus years, having to go foreign countries to buy gasoline cause we cant supply our own people.
87 million gallons pumped everyday, 87.5 million used everyday. See any issues there Sandra, like maybe "Supply and Demand" oh Sage of Townhall.

Annenberg and William Ayers, please, stop the Freak Show; William Ayers corrupted or criminalized everything he ever touched or spoke to including Barack Obama;
so dont disgrace your self or us by attaching

Operation Exposé #2: Obama and 3-Year-Old Curtis Cooper
By TRAFALGAR

"Curtis Cooper was an adorable 3-year-old toddler who loved to ride his tricycle. But Curtis had the misfortune to live in Chicago's criminally neglected Cabrini Green housing complex. This hellhole of safety violations was "managed" by Obama's longtime crony, Cullen J. Davis. And so poor Curtis Cooper was crushed to death when an iron gate fell on top of him on June 28, 2008.

Obama is up to his neck in the sewer of Chicago's public housing scandals, along with his mentor, convicted felon Tony Rezko, Allison Davis (Cullen's father), who's Obama's former law firm boss, and Valerie Jarrett, Obama's senior advisor. The Boston Globe reported that, as state senator, Obama directed millions of dollars of public funds to these cronies for them to improve public housing. Instead, they pocketed the money, kicked some back to Obama's campaign, and ignored the public housing in their care, sometimes to the point of outright abandonment.

The system worked beautifully for Obama, whose campaign coffers overflowed, and for his cronies who grew rich at the public trough. But for the poor African-Americans in these projects, who shivered without heat in the winter and endured collapsing roofs and sewage in their kitchen sinks, the system stank. And for the parents of 3-year-old Curtis Cooper, it brought the ultimate tragedy, leaving them only a lifetime of grief and a lawsuit to pursue justice in their son's name."

Spread this far and wide...forward to everyone you know.

Hunter
You sit there and write about hatred coming from Palin, we need to hate out of this country,
and on and on about hate.

I have had the displeasure of reading many of your posts and each one of them was filled with distortion of fact, anger and hatred.

Before you write another word about hate being spewed by anyone else, Dem. or Reb., clean up your own house.

OBAMANOMICS 101: LIVE on YOUTUBE
*
**** YOUTUBE is for EVERYONE, its all there right in front of your eyes, if one can only for a moment put personal bias aside and let the tidal wave of truth and rational get through.

A Democrat House of Representatives and a Democrat watching the Economic Lunacy that they created, the Community Reinvestment Collapse, Destroy our Economy, and did nothing but defend it as Bushes problem.
Liars and Theives all.....

Maxine Waters is not funny anymore; Criminal or Criminally Insane, would seem more appropriate after seeing volumes of her in action.......

And where has NANCY PELOSI been lately and Chucky Schumer . Our leaders who’s policy’s caused this destruction, then spent the last two years letting it explode. Avoiding the Heat, that’s where. Hoping people will forget their role in the economic collapse of a lifetime. Don’t let the main stream media get away it.

This country has weathered a tech bubble, LPGM, a stock market collapse, 911, Enron and
Katrina.

It took the ECONOMIC PHILOSOPHY of BARACK OBAMA; His wholesale pedaling of WORTHLESS MORTGAGES for the corrupt and criminal A C O R N as Mandated by the CRA, and OBAMAS advisers and friends like Franklin Raines that forced this philosophy of ECONOMIC DOOM down our throats to finally run her a ground !

The sad truth is that
many Americans get their news in bullet comments that are carefully crafted by one of the better marketing entities in the world--the MSM.

Obama is a socialist who will bring new meaning to the phrase "big government. His past associations with racists, terrorist, criminals and corrupt organizations is frightening; but is largely unreported by his adoring media. Conversely the MSM attacks McCain and Palin constantly, oftern misrepresenting or distorting the facts--all in the interest of brevity of course!

Meanwhile the ignorant electorate blisssfully sips flavored coffee, waiting expectantly for all the vague promises of hope and change to be delivered to them, as we march steadily towards socialism.

Obama; Marxist Community Organiser

THOMAS JEFFERSON:
"The democracy ceases to exits when power is taken from those willing to work and given to those who would not".
When Barack Obama as a Constitutional lawyer sued banks in this country for not writing enough bad mortgages to those who could never ever pay back and never earned the right to receive, he, his associates and the Democrat Party started in motion the financial disaster of today that has destroyed Americas most treasured investment; Our Homes. And along with it, our banks, the stock market, our 401k's, and hopefully not our children's future.
A Constitutional Lawyer?! Who's Constitution.

Certainly not the one Thomas Jefferson wrote.

she forgot
She forgot to add that Barry needs to prove his citizenship in PA. The Judge wrote:
“Furthermore, if Obama is sworn in to the United States Office of Presidency, neither Plaintiff nor the general public will have the right to bring suit for redress as a result of all the immunities the President of the United Sates carries, thus Plaintiff and all the general public will be further harmed as they will be forced to live with the grave consequences.”

Point of Information
TJ did not write the Constitution. He was busy in France, helping to ignite a leftist revolution there, of all things. Jefferson would be aghast today if he were to look at the Bush administration.

It'll be fine
I'm in that group of schmucks who pays half of the taxes. But mr. obama says the wealth needs to be spread around even more. That's fine- I think if he gets elected I'll take my turn and get some of the spread end. I don't care about having money. THe great thing I've discovered ia that I won't have to WORK anymore. Wouldn't be worth it anyway, as most of what I make will go to taxes. I won't need the benefits cause the gov is going to take care of that. Free health care. Woo-hoo!
One regret would be that I currently give alot of money to charity, and that would have to stop, but hey, the gov is going to cover everyone's needs, so they won't need it from me.

THe young will have to work for the gov, cause the evil coporations will have fled elsewhere to avoid their patriotic duty to pay taxes. That's ok, they should be in the peace corps anyway and not pursuing the almighty dollar. It'll do 'em good.
SOMEONE is going to have to be forced to work, because the rest of us will be depending on those tax revenues for our entitlement. But I'm sure mr. obama has thought all that through.

I'm getting the hang of it already. It's gonna be great!

Mike: NY Point of Information

If you don't "think" that Thomas Jefforson was a major scribe in the US Constitution and a central figure in the Federalist Papers that layed out the principals for the US Constitution and was actually a Leftist nit-wit;
Your information has no point!

@rightisitsowndefense
Truly, I think that Mr.Romney would be facing the exact same problem that Sen McCain is. They're both white, so I don't see how he could be any more forceful than McCain without also being called a racist.
These people managed to make a racist out of Bill Clinton for goddsakes!!!

So you and Chrystopher can talk "warrior" all you like, but look where that got Hillary.

You're right tho- we all feel the frustration of watching this guy stand there and lie through his teeth to us, and we all want to confront him (or see him confronted). That should be the job of the press, but of course we know that won't happen.
I don't doubt that McCain has the guts to do it, but he does have a duty to try to win this thing too. It's a tough call. The polls don't help, because they more than likely reflect the fact that the idiotocracy thinks whoever's in the white house is responsible for the economy. (except if you're Bill Clinton and there's a dot-com bubble, it's not your fault).
I'm not so sure the dem congress didn't purposely fail to prevent this.

Anyway, we need some swiftboats for TRUTH.


founders
I reckon our founding fathers would be reeling in shock at the prospect of pelosi/reid/obama virtually owning the government they founded.

Then again, they had alot of neighbors who didn't think we should have fought a revolution. Early colonial liberals. Probably who they had in mind when they tried to build in every safeguard they could think of to prevent one group from amassing too much power. Took 220 years, but the dems found a way around them.

Allright, all together now, follow the bouncing ball.
If you already know the answer, why ask? WHY?

Yes, Phyllis, voters count . . .
And the voters who've been counted so far by the polls with great consistency find your shrill arguments either not of concern or, most significantly, untruthful. This all has been placed before them, and yet Obama is gaining a percentage point in the polls every day or two. Voters may be stupid or brainwashed, but they are going for Obama. Frankly, they want a grown-up to run the country, not someone who puts his medals on his chest every Veterans Day and goes and marches in a parade in a uniform that doesn't fit him anymore.

Polls
So far, polls have not elected anyone.

Polls are taken by everyone in an attempt to prove their candidate will win. Thus, influence the outcome.

Voters will determine the outcome of this election.

And next month we will honor the veterans that have given us the freedom to choose our president.

I will wear my wife's bright red lipstick when I go to vote!




The bottom line is,
What's really above his pay grade is the job of U.S. president and commander in chief.
This really says it all and those of us that are Americans hear and know all these things. It is shameful that the MSM is not reporting on any of these facts and his followers are too blinded by the augacity of hope/change.

Schafly
The same (bigot) woamn who made it very public that LDS were not invited to the Day of Prayer a few years Back?

Oh yea, She's credible. Hey, I got this great idea. Why not all the bigots of every stripe, band together and form their own party? Oh yea. They did that once. Anyone else recall the KKK? Put on your white pointy hat, ms. Shafly, your true color is showing.

Interesting (Hillary not out yet). Gosh, like Freddy Kreuger!
I did see her interviewed (why now?), and she declared zero possibility of her becoming majority leader, or supreme court justice and almost zero possibility of running for POTUS again. She said--well, really planted the idea--"I believe in blooming where you're planted".

All thing she could have said if she knew she be might be suddenly foisted onto the ticket to replace mr. not-vetted-enough.
Mixed blessings: she would probably win (bad news), but we'd be rid of mr. obama for good (good news). She would be nowhere near the disaster he would, so it would be a net good thing. That said, I would be saddened to see her win over Sen McCain.

govt-mandated abortion, the real topic
Obama's FOCA will lead to government-mandated birth control. THIS is the msg that needs to get out. It is explained in this article:

http://www.sanpadrepio.com/piolife.htm

St. Padre Pio, Humanae Vitae, and Mandatory Abortion

St. Pio defended the controversial encyclical, praising its “lofty teachings” and “eternal truths.”

An aspect of the document often overlooked today is its grim warning that governments might “impose” contraceptive methods on citizens.

In the light of the Humanae Vitae’s other accurate predictions,
are mandatory birth control and abortion on the horizon for America?
