While you know I think you are a dear, Gentry, Gordon appears to be a party hack to me, as well. Dont be too fooled by him. I dont have anything against him as a person, I just think he rants like a typical liberal. No offense intended.

don't you believe there is a loss of credibility to stories like this when created by conservative outlets like 'accuracy in media?' i mean really, provide us with a smear story by an organization that doesn't have a biased agenda, ok? if airamerica launched some goofy attack on mccain, you'd say the same thing.
I see you didn't deny it. The truth shall set you free!

Gordon would shoot you in the name of the Dems and Obama. He is a lunatic spewing his rhetoric. I at least have a brain and do not vote for the party and in this case Obama is a change for the Worse.

I'm glad you're one of the ones that don't vote strict party lines. I have gone half Dem; half Repub my entire life....lately, it seems you just vote for the least amount of evil. I'm not happy with any of them. You would think in a country of 300 million people, we could do better than this!

This Racist Anti-American hypocrite is nuts... Hussein will do and say anything to be president...
Sightings of a cross around town...

In Kentucky, he is making a direct appeal to Evangelicals with flyers that mention his conversion experience and they highlight a big old cross. Remember Mike Huckabee’s supposed subliminal cross in his Christmas campaign ad? Well, the Obama campaign ditches the subliminal and goes for the in your face cross. Look at the flyer here.

The Obama campaign has consistently believed that their candidate can compete for the “religious vote”. A lot has been made about how Obama hasn’t done as well with Catholics compared to Clinton. But let’s remember one thing: Obama has a story to tell about how Jesus came into his life. You can bet we will be hearing more details about it on the stump in the fall.(if Obama is the nominee)

He's for Partial Abortions-Voting against the Born-Alive Infant Protection Act..

Obama believes what Wright says. Why would he have stayed there 20 years if he did't? Why would he give over $20,000 to him? If Clinton or McCain stayed in a racist, hate-filled church for 20 years, you would be okay with that? I wouldn't. Obama will not get my vote.
So you're okay with EVERY SINGLE THING your pastor said in the history of the entire world? Let's also not forget that much of what people are "freaking out" over with Rev. Wright are his 9/11 comments --- get what, MLC, 9/11 was not 20 years ago! So, yeah it's not crazy that he's been a loyal member of his church for so long; sometimes massive catastrophes like that change a person or reveal a different side.
And as far as I know, Clinton and McCain have stuck with their pastors too.

THE DEMOCRAT'S FUZZY PLEDGED DELEGATE MATH

(The Math that is so often touted by Senator Obama and his supporters to essentially steal this nomination….what ever happened to one person—one vote?)

Senator Clinton scored decisive victories in the 2nd, 6th, & 7th largest states: Texas (4%), Pennsylvania (10%) and Ohio (10%)....but due to the Democrats’ quirky rules, those three large states added up to a total net gain of only 14 delegates for Senator Clinton — an advantage all but offset alone by Senator Obama’s single win in South Carolina (24th largest state), a net pickup of 13 delegates for him there.

And, to boot, we all know that South Carolina will turn TRUE BLUE come November. ;-)

It's no wonder Senator Obama and his supporters are so in love with this "fuzzy" pledged delegate math.

Another Case in Point:

If you look at the total electoral college votes from states won to date, here’s the breakdown:

CLINTON: 300
OBAMA: 217

Now……how is it again that Senator Obama is supposedly the front runner in this nomination process???

GO HILLARY!!!! You are currently ahead in the popular vote and will add to your lead by the end of the primary season.

LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK AND HAVE THEIR VOTES COUNTED!!!

Conservatives helping the helpless? Have you lost your mind? If you mean helping the poor rich yuppies who can't afford their fifth car or third summer mansion, then yes they help.

Senator Obama is a dual citizen. He is a citizen of Kenya and USA. Does anyone else see a conflict here? He should not even be a senator until he denounces his citizenship in Kenya. Where does his loyalty really lie? Are we Americans not concerned at all about national security? We need to amend the constitution to prohibit dual citizens from being a senator, representative, president, or vice president. It is wrong!

Is there anything, anything at all, that Obama could do or could have done in the past to make you not want to vote for him?
You apparently aren't bothered by his racist, terrorist, communist friends.
So MLC, you're the only person on the face of the planet who isn't friends with a questionable character? Must be nice being so high and mighty.

MLC and typical INsane person, you're a disgrace to the United States. You are so stubborn and ill-educated that it's truly upsetting to me; we've presented facts to counter all of your lies and yet to continue to spread them. ridiculous. Good luck living in your cave of stupidity.

their pastors have never said that:
--the govt purposely invented and introduced the aids virus in order to kill blacks
--the govt sponsors the drug trade as a means of jailing minorities
--the US and al-Quada are morally equivalent, each no more of a terrorist than the other.

Their pastors also never sold these gems of wisdom on CD, as Wright's church is doing. The rev is welcome to say what he wants, and if Obama wants to sit there for 20 years and soak it up, it tells us a little bit about the candidate's own thinking.

The Wright incident is but another example of Obama's ongoing linkage with people of an anti-American bent - Randy Ayers the unreprentant bomber of domestic targets being just one more example. At some point, who you hang out with matters.

Gee, cause McCain's pastor didn't call the Catholic Church the great whore and say that they conspired with Hitler to wipe out the Jews... he also didn't say that Katrina was God's way of punishing New Orleans for supporting and embracing homosexuals... And I guess Clinton's pastor molesting a 7 year old girl isn't important...

Also, just because you sit through one sermon you don't agree with, doesn't mean you're supporting that idea. I'm Catholic, but I don't walk out whenever they talk about abortion being evil. Doesn't mean I agree with them.

Democrats voted at 9:50 PM on Thursday May 18, 2006 to block US companies from drilling off the coastal United States. This vote passed even though China, with an awful environmental record, will be drilling for oil within 50-100 miles of America's shores. Cuba announced last week that 36 oil wells are in the works, already.

Gee Jersey, I bet you didn't know some of that includes the ANWR. Do you know what that means, or do I have to spell it out for you? And if you're implying that Republicans did/would support such a ridiculous mess, well big surprise! They have the most to gain financially from new oil wells! OOOOOH!
