Excuse me? You go to a speech wearing a "Democrat For McCain" t-shirt. The title of this thread is "Obama just lost my vote." Sounds to me like the vote was lost before the speech. Just an observation.

I am happy that you have your own opinion, it's also nice that you want to tell this to everybody. It is for no doubt an interesting experiment to look how people with an fundamentely other oppinion an who are against war, racism and hate will react on your message. But don't blame them if they don't want to listen to you.

Obama did his "community organizing" for a left wing group called ACORN, which is embroiled in massive voter fraud in over a dozen states.
Obama did not work for the community ... he worked for the democrat party and to undermine the very principles of democracy.

Hey "DICK" why don't you tell us what your old boy politic McCain can do instead? We're still trying to figure it out. Nobody's interested in your little crossword puzzle.

The LTE writer is as phony as the day is long. For starters he had his mind made up on voting before he ever got to that event. Second, Obama & McCain have similar positions on wire tapping.

Nah, Labriola is just another gadfly looking for attention. His modus operandi at the event proves it.

Stop allowing them to put poll locations at condo associations wherein the poll workers are members of their democratic clubs.

It's incestuous. And ACORNish.

The ACORN Obama Knows
Spreading socialism on the taxpayer’s dime.

By Michelle Malkin

If you don’t know what ACORN (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) is all about, you better bone up. This left-wing group takes in 40 percent of its revenues from American taxpayers — you and me — and has leveraged nearly four decades of government subsidies to fund affiliates that promote the welfare state and undermine capitalism and self-reliance, some of which have been implicated in perpetuating illegal immigration and encouraging voter fraud. A new whistleblower report from the Consumer Rights League documents how Chicago-based ACORN has commingled public tax dollars with political projects.

Who in Washington will fight to ensure that your money isn’t being spent on these radical activities?

Don’t bother asking Barack Obama. He cut his ideological teeth working with ACORN as a “community organizer” and legal representative. Naturally, ACORN’s political action committee has warmly endorsed his presidential candidacy. ACORN head Maude Hurd gushes that Obama is the candidate who “best understands and can affect change on the issues ACORN cares about”— like ensuring their massive pipeline to your hard-earned money. Let’s take a closer look at the ACORN Obama knows.

Last July, ACORN settled the largest case of voter fraud in the history of Washington State. Seven ACORN workers had submitted nearly 2,000 bogus voter-registration forms. According to case records, they flipped through phone books for names to use on the forms, including “Leon Spinks,”“Frekkie Magoal” and “Fruto Boy Crispila.” Three ACORN election hoaxers pleaded guilty in October. A King County prosecutor called ACORN’s criminal sabotage “an act of vandalism upon the voter rolls.”

The group’s vandalism on electoral integrity is systemic. ACORN has been implicated in similar voter-fraud schemes in Missouri, Ohio, and at least 12 other states. The Wall Street Journal noted:“In Ohio in 2004, a worker for one affiliate was given crack cocaine in exchange for fraudulent registrations that included underage voters, dead voters and pillars of the community named Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy and Jive Turkey. During a congressional hearing in Ohio in the aftermath of the 2004 election, officials from several counties in the state explained ACORN’s practice of dumping thousands of registration forms in their lap on the submission deadline, even though the forms had been collected months earlier.”

In March, Philadelphia elections officials accused the nonprofit advocacy group of filing fraudulent voter registrations in advance of the April 22nd Pennsylvania primary. The charges have been forwarded to the city district attorney’s office.

Under the guise of “consumer advocacy,” ACORN has received money from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. HUD funds hundreds, if not thousands, of left-wing “anti-poverty” groups across the country led by ACORN. Last October, HUD announced more than $44 million in new housing-counseling grants to over 400 state and local efforts. The White House has increased funding for housing counseling by 150 percent since George W. Bush took office in 2001, despite the role most of these recipients play as activist satellites of the Democratic Party. The AARP scored nearly $400,000 for training; the National Council of La Raza (“The Race”) scooped up more than $1.3 million; the National Urban League raked in nearly $1 million; and the ACORN Housing Corporation received more than $1.6 million.

article continued........

As the Consumer Rights League points out in its new exposé, the ACORN Housing Corporation has worked to obtain mortgages for illegal aliens in partnership with Citibank. It relies on undocumented income,“under the table” money, which may not be reported to the Internal Revenue Service. Moreover, the group’s “financial justice” operations attack lenders for “exotic” loans, while recommending 10-year interest-only loans (which deny equity to the buyer) and risky reverse mortgages. Whistleblower documents reveal internal discussions among the group that blur the lines between its tax-exempt housing work and its aggressive electioneering activities. The group appears to shake down corporate interests with relentless PR attacks, and then enters “no lobby” agreements with targeted corporations after receiving payment.

Republicans have largely looked the other way as ACORN has expanded its government-funded empire. But finally, a few conservative voices in Congress have called for investigation of the group’s apparent extortion schemes. This week, GOP Reps. Tom Feeney, Jeb Hensarling, and Ed Royce called on Democrat Barney Frank, chair of the House Financial Services Committee, to convene a hearing to probe potential illegalities and abuse of taxpayer funds by ACORN’s management and minions alike.

Where does the candidate of Hope and Change — the candidate of Reform and New Politics — stand on the issue? Barack Obama, ACORN’s senator, is for more of the same old, same old subsidizing of far-left politics in the name of fighting for the poor while enriching ideological cronies. That’s the Chicago way.

Says you.

Site a speech or legislation where Obama (1) wants to take away anyones guns (2) How he could do it even if he wanted to, in light of the recent SCOTUS decision on the 2nd Amendment?

You do know that a lot of Democrats own guns, just like there are a lot of Republicans who don't?

Yeah it is easy for you to set up there in the mountains and turn your nose up to the dirty business of keeping the western economy protected by the blood of young Americans. We could buddy up with either Russia or the Islamic crazies and say, "go ahead you can over-run Europe".

I bet the douche bag alarms that security had went off, making you a threat to everyone in the building. Wearing that gay shirt pretty much told everyone in the room that your question was going to be a trick or trap question, or that you were going to pull some kind of stunt to hurt the senator in some kind of way, even if you hadn't plan on it. And how has Sen. Obama lost your vote if you went to a meeting with your mind already made up? They should have tasered you John Kerry style.

Plus, if your a real democrat/liberal, why would you vote for someone who's views are the complete opposite? Your one of those voters that vote on personalities instead of issues aren't you? Then you should stay a republican, seeing that they don't like sticking to issues either.
