Ah but Obama is my kind of uppity! Smart, well mannered, visionary and efficiently and intelligently solution oriented -- all of which makes me very UP about my country for a nice change of pace. Guess Mr. Westmoreland thought calling Obama an "elitist" wasn't insulting enough. What a goon!

This is the same kook who wanted the ten commandments posted on state property, but could not list what the ten commandments are.

Love the word "uppity" - it is abit like "elite".

This country does not seem to like a smart president, an intelligent president, an articulate president (except Clinton) and it looks like the good ol' dumb as a stump kind of president is the one who may get in November - which would make us look like dumb as stumps.

Lets have uppity, lets have elite, lets have intelligence, lets have smarts, all good in my opinion and better than dumb as a stump.

HUSSAIN and his wife are arrogant, narcissistic and down right belligerent.

They are confirmed RACISTS and FANATICAL RADICAL MUSLIMS. It is questionable if HUSSAIN indeed was born on United States soil. Most likely, his birth place is Kenya. Furthermore, HUSSAIN is a bastard child. His parents were not married and the sperm donor probably in question.

Mrs Obama does not stand a chance against the beautiful Mrs. Palin.
Mrs. Palin has style, dignity, charisma and charm. She does not need her face injected with pounds of botox.

The OBAMAS loath the military and hate this country. They said so in public. They wish to eradicate Christianity from the landscape and replace it with the teachings of allah/mohammed.
Why do you think he changed his name ??????
He wants to appease the radical muslims !!!!

Vote for Obama and you'll be forced to carry the koran wherever you go.

VOTE MCCAIN & PALIN FOR DEMOCRACY & CHRISTIANITY.

If we had each Governor, in each state, sell their"over the top " jets, and drive themselves to work,,,,,wow, think of the revenue back into the pot, and if Ted Kennedy went sober, we could be a debt free nation.

A few generations back, Gen. Westmoreland made a name for himself in the history books. Of course the Westmoreland name carries a lot of weight considering they are OLD MONEY.

Old money doesn't like new money and especially new money with a 'tan'.

Who needs the Westmorelands-Obama's got the Kennedys. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Lynn.

And if each one kept the millions they were given for a project that was subsequently discontinued, say a bridge to nowhere, why, think of the revenue we would lose!

McCain was a POW? Really? I must have missed this info. Was this spoken about at the convention? Gee, you'd think someone would mention this fact or at least make a 15 minutes film that used every bit of archival footage of him in a camp they could find. Man, GOP, you dropped the ball on this one.

McCain shows his TRUE COLORS. And you want this guy in the white house?

WASHINGTON--(Business Wire)--
The Surviving Parents Coalition (SPC), a group of parents of children who were abducted, sexually assaulted, murdered, recovered or are still missing, say they have repeatedly asked Senator McCain to cosponsor S.1738 The Combating Child Exploitation Act and he has yet to do so. Now they are asking the presidential candidate to take
immediate action to stop his Senate allies from killing the child rescue bill completely.

The legislation passed the House of representatives last November but has been held up in the Senate by opponents who say it will cost
too much. THE BILL WOULD COST 43 CENTS PER AMERICAN PER YEAR and result in thousands of children rescued from the hands of sexual
predators.

On July 1 Senator McCain released his "Crime Fighting Strategy" and gave a speech to the National Sheriff's Association claiming that
he is aggressive in combating child exploitation, predators and funding the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Taskforces. The SPC disagrees.
