Americans Simply Don't Want A Black Man In The White House!! That's The Simple Cold Hard Truth. If It Was A White Democrat, Alot More People Would Be Voting For Him (and no I'm Not talking about the VP either). We Americans Would Rather Elect ANOTHER Republican In Office To Finish Sending This Country To HELL And BEYOND Than Put A BLACK DEMOCRAT In OFfice To Fix This COMPLETE MESS. GOD BLESS AMERICA FROM NOW ON As No One Knows What's In Store For The "USA" "USA" If McCain Is Elected!!
America Just Admit That You DON'T WANT And WILL Not Tolerate A BLACK MAN in OVAL OFFICE, PERIOD.!! NO IFS ANDS OR BUTS ABOUT IT!!!!
Not all of white America feels this way but only those who are ruled by fear: frightened sheeple with low self-esteem who need to feel better about themselves by stomping on others ideas and goals. Those types are everywhere however race is the catalyst that seems to bring them together and thus you have a McCain rally with all it's trembling self-loathing lynch mob mentality. Never mind that McCain sat in congress for 26+ years and basically accomplished squat but instead contributed to the financial mess we're all in, sheeple included. Never mind that as of yesterday, 4187 American soldiers have died in a pointless and endless war in Iraq that McCain supports and wants to continue for another 100 years and lets not talk about the fact that the oil cartel has all of us by the short hairs, sheeple included and McCain has voted against
renewable energy. To the frightened sheeple, all that matters is he is not lily-white.
Can you possibly get more brain dead than that ?
If big changes are not made via the elections in November and through aggressive policy changes, we will all suffer together, thinkers and sheeple, alike.

McCain SHOULD be booed. We face a Muslim President who will sell us out. He is a terrorist sympathizer, a socialist, an and he hates America - and before you liberals deny it, why did Barrack Osama go to a church with a preacher that yelled "God Damn America" for 20 years? Any normal American with even one ounce of decency and respect for the Christian values that the rest of us are raised with and practice would have quit that church on day one! But Barrack Osama stayed there for 20 years...he only quit when the news broke. Hmmmmmmm.....
We must do everything in our power to keep this man out of government!
Again, this boils down to fear based on a 20-second sound bite. Jeremiah Wright is a firebrand and a showboat who chooses his words poorly. But he is also a former U.S. Marine, a former member of the U.S. Navy, and a man who expanded his church into an organization with some 70 ministries that help the neediest people in his community. He received a Rockefeller Fellowship and seven honorary doctorate degrees.

The guy has terrible judgment in his phrasing, but he's no terrorist. On the contrary, he's been an overwhelming force for constructive good in his community. He has done far more than most of us to reach out to the poor, the ill, the hurting.

He just needs to keep his mouth away from a microphone.

Hey John...
Isn't part of being a Christian being accepting of all those who are not like you...turn the other cheek...love thy neighbor...etc, etc! Not spewing hate and bigotry...or is that the "new christain way!"
John you're a hypocrite! And I probably shouldn't say this...but...the bible is a collection of short stories! Most fiction, some truthful accounts, as memory permits, of life way, way back then!

Palin is a woman who defends family values and you call her Hitler?
That's funny. Hitlers killed about 13 million in his camps (6 million Jews and 7 million other prisoners of war.) Stalin killed about 20 million on the gulag.
Liberals have butchered 40 MILLION CHILDREN since Roe vs. Wade, all of them completely innocent, in cold blood. But hey, I guess asking you to be responsible and actually practice self-discipline - that's too much isn't it? If a child would be inconvenient, let's just butcher it, right? That's the liberal way!
Tell me again who is like Hitler?
We must get Palin into office so we can stop the biggest mass murder in all of recorded history - Roe vs. Wade.
LEARN TO READ!

I said Sarah Palin "incites mobs" in the same way as Hitler did. I didn't say she "was Hitler" or "was a mass murderer".

Read complete sentences, don't just parse the words.

Weatherman co-founder Bill Ayers stated the following about the group, "Terrorists terrorize, they kill innocent civilians, while we organized and agitated. Terrorists intimidate, while we aimed only to educate. No, we're not terrorists."
"Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home. Kill your parents." -Bill Ayers, 1970.
In 1970 the group issued a "declaration of a state war" against the United States government.
February 16, 1970 the group bombed the San Francisco police department.
February 21, 1970 gasoline firebombs exploded at the home of New York Supreme Court Justice Murtagh.
March 6, 1970, a bomb detonated prematurely intended for a function at Fort Dix and another intended for Butler Library at Columbia University.
June 9, 1970, the Weather Underground bombs a New York City police station.
By the end of 1970, the Weather Underground is placed on the FBI's most wanted list.
March 1, 1971, the Weather Underground bombs the Capital building in Washington DC.
May 19, 1972, the Weather Underground bombs the Air Force wing of the Petnagon in Washington DC.
The Weather Underground eventually claimed credit for more than 25 bombings.
By 1980, Bill Ayers turns himself in to authorities.
In 1995 Bill Ayers stated, "The ethics of Communism still appeal to me. I don't like Lenin as much as the early Marx."
In 2000, Bill Ayers stated, "I don't regret setting bombs" and "I feel we didn't do enough"
Bill Ayers has stated, "We weren't terrorists. The reason we weren't terrorists is because we did not commit random acts of terror against people. Terrorism was what was being practiced in the countryside of Vietnam by the United States."
"Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon. The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what they had coming to them." -Bill Ayers from his book, "Fugitive Days".
Bill Ayers worked with Chicago Mayer Richard M Daly for education reform where he met Barack Obama.
Barack Obama was on the board of directors of the "Woods Fund of Chicago", 1993-2002, of which William (Bill) Ayers was also a board member.
Barack Obama, along with Bill Ayers is on the board of directors of the "Chicago Annenberg Challenge", 1995-2002.
In the mid 1990s Bill Ayers hosted a fund raiser in his home for the state Senatorial race of Barack Obama.
In 1997 Bill Ayers and Barack Obama shared a speaking engagement for the Wood Fund on juvenile justice.
Speaking about the September 11, 2001 attacks Bill Ayers said the following...“Everybody in the world knows that Americans are geographically challenged and historically challenged. We don’t have a sense of who we are or where we are."
In January of 2005, Barack Obama become a state senator from Illinois.
"In my view, proof of government complicity is not necessary when making the argument that the U.S. should accept some responsibility for what happened on 9/11." -Barack Obama, February 15, 2007.
"We've got to get the job done there... And that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there." -Barack Obama speaking about the Iraq War, August 14, 2007.
"The notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values doesn't make much sense to me." -Barack Obama.
Would you want Bill Ayers as the secratary department of education? Would you want Bill Ayers on your school board? Would you want Bill Ayers teaching your children? Bill Ayers is the man that Barack Obama worked with to improve education in Chicago!
America should be angry!
You obviously have too much time on your hands. Perhaps a trip to Minnesota or wherever the next GOP rally is held will make you feel right at home.....

Obama is a cigarette smoker. Let's hope he is more tolerant of smokers having their own places to smoke. Obama did not vote for the Smoke Free Illinois Act. They waited until after he left the Illinois General Assembly before they passed it.

(America is a CHRISTIAN NATION. It has been since day one. It is run by CHRISTIAN VALUES. Everyone in America is subject to the law of Jesus Christ!)

Wrong. America was founded on the idea of religious freedom. This is a country that welcomes people of all faiths. The Constitution states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."

Furthermore, Jesus said his law was love. I don't hear a heck of a lot of love coming from you.

(Barrack Osama is a Muslim and lives by Muslim values. He does not recognize Jesus as the true Son of God and in fact hates and despises those who follow Him, as all Muslims do. He cannot be our President!)

First, Barack Obama is not a Muslim, and second, Muslims do not "hate and despise" those who follow Jesus. Please read the Qur'an and get your facts straight before you make a false statement like this.

You obviously consider yourself a Christian. I would point out that the fruits of the Holy Spirit, as listed in the Bible, are: Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance (or self-control). Again, I have not seen anything in your statements that remotely resembles any of these virtues. Where's the meekness, the gentleness, the peace?

In fact you remind me very much of the Pharisees in Jesus's day, who had little tolerance for the "gentiles." Jesus warned them that the gentiles would be grafted into the family of God, and "by their fruits ye shall know them." He didn't say by their doctrine, dogma, church or religion...but by their fruits (virtues).

I wonder how many "gentiles" you're condemning (for example, Muslims?) without even considering the virtues they live out, every single day.

We are aware that bush has tried to dismantle the CONSTITUTION; when did religious freedom become a non- option for Americans? No American is subject to any religious law. We are subject to the laws of our country! By the way, Obama is a Christian, Christ fearing, AMERICAN. Paranoia is scary,Huh?

It cuts both way....only a lot deeper on the GOP side!
What about McSames relationship with convicted felon G. Gordon Liddy?
Liddy served four and a half years in prison in connection with his conviction for his role in the Watergate break-in and the break-in at the office of the psychiatrist of Daniel Ellsberg, the military analyst who leaked the Pentagon Papers. Liddy has acknowledged preparing to kill someone during the Ellsberg break-in "if necessary"; plotting to murder journalist Jack Anderson; plotting with a "gangland figure" to murder Howard Hunt to stop him from cooperating with investigators; plotting to firebomb the Brookings Institution; and plotting to kidnap "leftist guerillas" at the 1972 Republican National Convention -- a plan he outlined to the Nixon administration using terminology borrowed from the Nazis.(The murder, firebombing, and kidnapping plots were never carried out; the break-ins were.) During the 1990s, Liddy reportedly instructed his radio audience on multiple occasions on how to shoot Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agents and also reportedly said he had named his shooting targets after Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Liddy has donated $5,000 to McCain's campaigns since 1998, including $1,000 in February 2008. In addition, McCain has appeared on Liddy's radio show during the presidential campaign, including as recently as May. An online video labeled "John McCain On The G. Gordon Liddy Show 11/8/07" includes a discussion between Liddy and McCain, whom Liddy described as an "old friend." During the segment, McCain praised Liddy's "adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great," said he was "proud" of Liddy, and said that "it's always a pleasure for me to come on your program."
Additionally, in 1998, Liddy reportedly held a fundraiser at his home for McCain. Liddy was reportedly scheduled to speak at another fundraiser for McCain in 2000.

Obama was EIGHT years old during the Ayers hayday!

You are seriously disturbed, that is all I can comment about. Are you a geneologist perhaps. If so, then look into your own family's past as thouroughly as you have claimed to examine President OBAMA'S, eh?
