I don't look forward to this country having a black ruler with Muslim ties. I have seen what happened in Sierra Leone, Uganda and other African countries with black rulers, with the body counts in the millions. What really disgusted me was the Sierra Leone leaders using amputation as their form of terrorism. Why did those animals do it to children? By the way, many of the diamonds from Sierra Leone have been used to fund Bin Laden for 9/11, and his other activities. I don't trust Obama. I can understand the black supporters buying into this, but why the young white “so called” educated people? They have no knowledge of recent history, and I believe it comes to a need for them to feel they are superior people they are for supporting a black candidate, no matter how much harm it will he to our country.

Agreed. And I do believe Obama would harm America irreparably.

If you have a "candidate", why have a convention? Chris Matthews and others at MSNBC have always been for Obama and have continuously bad mouthed Hillary. She lost North CArolina because Obama already had a 34 percent lead before anyone voted, the "black" vote. She closed that down by 20 percent to 14 percent. She deserves to stay in as long as she wants, all the way to the convention and I hope she does. Obama cannot win and we will end up with McNasty as POTUS, another 4 years of "W" type BS! The "harm to America" has been done by "W", his supporters and administration. No one could do more harm than he has done or will do when he attacks Iran for Israel!

Race will be the thing that controls the election! Over 65 percent of the voters are "white" and the general election will prove they are not ready for a "black" president. It is going to get ugly! Obama does not have a chance to be POTUS!

Conservative Newt Gingrich-“ the Republican brand has been hurt beyond repair. If the Republican Party tries to run a smear campaign, or anti-Clinton, anti-Obama campaign based on race, they stand no chance of winning"

Even the hypocrite Newt Gingrich knows how bad the Republicans are running scared.

I can't wait until President Obama takes office. It's going to take them quite some time to remove the conservative stench from the White House.

Any person strictly voting on race is simply out of touch! McCain is promising to keep digging our country into a whole, and he's fear baiting the gullible hoping to benefit from this blind fear and racism. Obama is clearly the only choice!

The correct terminolgy is Obama would tax this nation into poverty.

Proposed changes in taxes after 2008 General election:

CAPITAL GAINS TAX

MCCAIN
15%(no change)

OBAMA
28%

CLINTON
24%

How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.

DIVIDEND TAX

MCCAIN
15%(no change)

OBAMA
39.6%

CLINTON
39.6%

How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama or Clinton become president. The experts predict that "Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit."

INCOME TAX

MCCAIN
(no changes)
Single making 30K - tax $4,500
Single making 50K - tax $12,500
Single making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 60K- tax $9,000
Married making 75K - tax $18,750
Married making 125K - tax $31,250

OBAMA
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750

CLINTON
(reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts)
Single making 30K - tax $8,400
Single making 50K - tax $14,000
Single making 75K - tax $23,250
Married making 60K - tax $16,800
Married making 75K - tax $21,000
Married making 125K - tax $38,750

How does this affect you? No explanation needed. This is pretty straight forward.

INHERITANCE TAX

MCCAIN
0%
(No change, Bush repealed this tax)

OBAMA
keep the inheritance tax

CLINTON
keep the inheritance tax

How does this affect you? Many families have lost businesses, farms and ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will not only lose them to these taxes.

NEW TAXES BEING PROPOSED BY BOTH CLINTON AND OBAMA

* New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet
* New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already)
* New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity)
* New taxes on retirement accounts
and last but not least....

* New taxes to pay for socialized medicine

Can you afford Clinton or Obama? I can't!

You call yourself an "African American" Aren't those rouge countries part of Africa? You pick the whole continent, but when confronted with their crimes, you just want to leave those countries out. Either you is or you isn't. Why can you all and the south of the border guys just say your Americans like all teh other imigrants?

Dear Friends and Relatives:

We have the distinguished honor of being on the committee to raise $5,000,000 for a monument of Hillary Clinton's heroic stand under Bosnian sniper fire.

We originally wanted to put her on Mt. Rushmore until we discovered there was not enough room for two more faces.

We then decided to erect a statue of Hillary Clinton in the Washington DC Hall of Fame. We are having a bit of difficulty as to where the statue should be placed. It was not proper to place it beside the statue of George Washington, who never told a lie, or beside Jessie Jackson & Barak Obama,who never told the truth, since Hillary Clinton could never tell the difference.

We finally decided to place it beside Christopher Columbus, the greatest Democrat of them all. He left not knowing where he was going, and when he got there, he didn't know where he was. He returned not knowing where he had been, and did it all on someone else's money.

If you are one of the fortunate people who have anything left after taxes, we expect a generous contribution to this worthwhile project.

Thank you,

Hillary Clinton Monument Committee

P.S. The Committee has raised $1.35 so far.

P.P.S. And another thing...Now let me get this straight. Bill Clinton is getting $12 Million for his memoirs. His wife Hillary got $8 million for hers. That's $20 million for memories from two people, who for eight years repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember anything.

Attacks, and more attacks.

Obamas own web page tales the tale. His issues page is verbose and splashy. It is woefully short on facts and information. He talks at lenght how he will change healthcare, taxes, war, Social Security, but not a tlttle about how he is going to do these things.

What I find is Obama supporters that treat the man as if he is the Christ child come again. They follow him without question, and cast stones (racial remarks) on any that would question his plan. Many, even on this forum have told me to read his site. I will be enlightened. I came back at them with the sites own words. They miraculously filled in the missing numbers and plan information.

I have discovered that it is absolutely normal for a cult member to speak for the proffit adding in pieces that the leader never said. They think they are speaking with his voice, but in reality, they are simply transfering their ideals onto him.
