    will enter the race and you will have no Voice in whatever you are dreaming with Hillary.Why don't you ask her where she was when, they want to deport your next to Kin even if you have served in ARMY? She is a FOX

      what voice have you had the last 8 years

    I do not know I'm a democrat and to be honest this whole Obama attacking Clinton's iraq vote really gets to me. I recall how angry I was on 9-11, it was horrifying what had occured and as much as I despise Bush and had reservations about the war, I did not write my senators and complain in the days after 9-11 while the war was beginning. But today what we know as a nation and what the media finally printed is a much different picture then the one the nation had on 9-11 and the weeks after.

    Bush used our fear and anger to lead the nation into war, based on false information he fed the media and CONGRESS. Today I have to say what Mr. Obama is doing, using the fact we are now tired of war, have now forgotten our anger to bolster his own campaign for President just sits wrong with me. We spent months being bombarded with news clips screaming the WAR ON TERROR all day and night long. It was a continued assault on us to justify the war and no where do I recall Mr. Obama repeatedly appearing on any of those news shows stating his case of why we should not go to war.

    Today he is running for President and every where I look he is stating his case. To me it's a little too late and one vote or present votes means nothing he did nothing to back it up to the country in the days when it mattered most- its easy to be a monday morning quarterback- he had the tools to make a much bigger case before now and today it's not much different from the game plan Bush used to get us into war. He is using the general feeling in the country to attack Clinton's vote- leaving out the fact Bush lied to America, the media was intimidated into reporting the false facts and most of all congress was lied to.

    He just comes off as a professional politican who has moved carefully planning this run with every vote or present vote he cast. I think if he truly could make a change he would have made a huge splash before now. And as for attacking Clinton's vote on Iraq- again it would have been much more convincing had he done the late night and morning shows circuits at the time of the vote- But it seems he was afraid based on the country's feeling then he would alienate voters- unless he waited until they were tired of war and then attacked everyone who did what we wanted them to after those building fell.

    I would vote for McCain or even Romney before Obama- he seems to be not much more then a media hyped candidate winning on the fact of his race rather then his record. Which again seems to be do not vote at all if it could hurt his ascent to the big office or in the case of Iraq vote no once then yes with every other bill attached to war but not mention THAT in his speeches.

      can anybody do worse than bush.

  • Posted By: Army4RangeR @ 02/06/2008 10:28:25 PM

    Obama has no business in the White House....He is the Junior Statesman from Illinois. i
    suggest that peopel READ...don't jump on bandwagons that look great outside, but
    underneat are full of hidden agendas and hatred. Check out the site of his much love
    church www.tucc.org/about.htm...scary.......This dude needs to cut his teeth some place
    other than the White House...we cannot afford to have some under statesman running
    a country which is not his first loyalty...Loved the articles of his daughter giving awards to
    Quanell X....BE very careful, we need somebody to protect our country, not worry about
    the restitution issue, or Africa...without a good defense, there will be no AMERICA..

      It is sad when you have to get racial. Before you judge you might want to do some research and check your sources. Look at what the head of the United Church of Christ has to say about this church http://www.ucc.org/news/thomas-denounces-smear-1.html. It's some much easier to make a decision based on the facts instead of the bad emails that are floating around. Try looking at the character of each of Obama and Clinton. Check their voting record in the prior to their run for office. Then pray that God will give you the WISDOM to make the best choice.

        This is not about race. It is about the mohammed devils and their doctrines of death. Hussein Obama will NOT be elected as President of this country. The MORMON is done. Next is MOHAMMED. GOD bless America.

    Yesterday a Life Long Democrat voted not for the dead beat no show from Illinois but for a Republican John Mc Cain. I know from talking with her that he is no John Kennedy who spoke of ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country. I know that talking to her that the signs on the Atgeld Gardens complex stating building a better future are not what Martin Luther Thought. I guess you like to write of times are Changing, yes they are Barack in nothing but a whinny little boy. The Change is coming and that is that Barack is losing the faithful. My hero???s have been strong leaders men of courage and conviction. Those men faced evil and survived there race creed and National origin mean nothing because they were Americans First and Last.
    Good night Chesty Puller where ever you are.

    I am a 55 year old white educated upper middle class female who has always voted repubican in the presidential elections since I was 18 which would kill my parents who would vote for Adolph Hilter as long as he is a democrat. I have been watching Barack Obama for some time even before he became really popular. I have read his books which he wrote before he had any aspirations of running for president and have watched how he carries himself. I believe he is genuine...he is not a muslim...his father was from a Kenya but he was not even a relgious man and Barack really didn't even know him. I am not sure how I will vote in this election but the one thing I am sure about is that it will NOT be Hillary Clinton...come on people...the Clinton's are liars and manipulators and will say and do anything to get elected. I have also read up on her in her early years...Bill had a big influence on her... she was not always a liberal. And by the way we have a 20 year daughter who is in the Army serving in Iraq and a 24 year son who is in Air Force intelligence serving in Korea as a linguist. Please research the candidants for yourself and don't believe everything your hear. I will do whatever I have to do to vote against her because it will be a disasterif she becomes president.

      can it get any worse than the idiot white america saddled us with now?the gop HAS to had somebody smarter than bush

  • Posted By: Army4RangeR @ 02/07/2008 11:58:54 PM

    We, are suppose to be a country concerned about the survival of this nation. What was once
    the part of the hard working, blue collar worker, is now, the party of every kooky sub
    culture imaginable...the democratic party represents every pervert's right...and NONE of
    the rights of the descent average American. Obama is the son of a Kenyan, whose
    relatives STILL live there...I encourage any of you considering a vote for Obama go to
    the website of his beloved church www.tucc.org/about.htm.....Their first obligation is
    a love for and allegiance to AFRICA...Surely we are not dumb enough to want to send
    more of our tax dollars to Africa..ALL American should be voting for the defense of the
    country, or there will be nothing to CHANGE..Obama has been recognized as the
    most liberal senator.......he's my best description of the anit-Christ, I've seen..he's
    charming, eloquent, and DEADLY...Pray before you vote..None of us know enough about this guy, to put him in the White House. He needs to cut his teeth some place else..

    Do you all not read whats on the internet as far as his church goes??? He is racist,and a muslim,(in hiding). Is that REALLY what you want running the country? I mean come on. Of course he sounds good now but wait until you vote him in then youll see. He will do nothing for the Americans. It will be for everyone else. Of course he wants our troups out of his familys country, get real people. I would vote hIllary in before i voted for him. BUT thats the good thing about the USA FREEDOM OF SPEECH...

  • Posted By: hope-3 @ 02/09/2008 8:27:30 AM

    First,lets try to get one thing straight ;obama is biracial,He dosen't think in terms of black or white.Two ,obama is a christian not muslim.Yes, he has relatives who are muslim but he has been a christian all his life.No one took this man seriously until he won the iowa caucas.He won this caucas because he knows how to organize on a grass roots level.That is his gift?The clintons simply had know clue of this..

      He is a mohammed! PERIOD.

  • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 02/08/2008 6:59:00 AM

    His name says it all. He is of muslim heritage, attends a muslim sympathizing "church", he wants a full blown civil war in the Middle East, and he IS a media created one hit wonder. If you support Hussein then there is NO possibility that you are a Republican. This idea is, to use Bills words, "a fairy tale".

    • Posted By: astara999 @ 02/08/2008 11:41:05 PM

      His first name "Barach" is Irish, should we make a big deal about that? His parents divorced when he was less than 5 years old. He stated, "neither parent was religious", period. I know how that goes. I had same type home. Mother claimed to be "Methodist", father "Seventh Day Adventist" neither practiced their religion-just tried to brainwash us with it. I think I came out best of the bunch, with my love for "Aesops Tales"

      • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 02/09/2008 8:48:41 AM

        You wish. There will be a HUGE expose' released to the public in the next 2 months. NON-RELIGIOUS? SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTS? IRISH? America will soon see the truth about Hussein. I can't wait till we see you Dems. burn down your convention hall. He is a mohammed sympathizer at best, and all of you waanabe flower children should be ashamed.

  • Posted By: Uzezi @ 02/07/2008 5:00:57 PM

    As a life long republican, I never thought that I would see the day when I would vote Democrat.
    I have reviewed all the candidates and Obama represents what is best of all of us Americans.
    Besides his good ideas on everything form the economy, iraq and healthcare. he inspires us and makes us believe that we can. With our image so shattered both here and abroad , he is a breath of fresh air and brings us all togehter.

    Yes we can !! Another Obamacan for Obama

        Holy Roller, you are obsessed, and making unwarranted accusations. This was proven untrue, long after that incident that was circulated in the public-both Kerry and McCain, were attacked by same Swiftboaters when running against G.W. Bush. Poppy Bush via Rove, gets these groups to distribute dirty campaign crap-if your going to believe every negative campaign ad, you can never make a fair decision.

  • Posted By: emmarcee @ 02/08/2008 1:25:47 PM

    Don't give us the BS that race does not matter. You will see at the end. What happend to Romney? Why did Oprah endorse to Obama - O she is always for Change. How did he win South Carolina? Why is he always comparing himself to MLK? whereas actually his life story is the story of a second generation immigrant, born to a white mother brought up in Asia. You Americans are so straight forward and naive. I wish you another Bush.

      Exactly. The whites are divided, while the blacks are so solid behind him. It is so interesting to watch how the idiotic US media play him up: that he is the face of change, that he captivates the audience, that he can inspire the people. As Bernard Baruch said: " There is madness in crowds." An individual has to distance himself from this madness and think for himself. He may be black, and he talks about civil rights, but one black leader reminded him that while his opponent, though white, was marching and working for civil rights, he was doing drugs and other selfish indescretions. Americans, you love the magic of an inspiring speaker, a captivating stage performer, a sweet talker? In the 1930s, the Germans loved the same things, too, and in just over ten years they realized how low could you sink when you were so up there on high.

        Oprah: that queen of talks who made money out of some people's miserable stories, by playing them up, asking fake questions, and trying to appear an intellectual, when she is far from it. The book club she has on her show features high-caliber books to lend an air of respectability to her show. It was curious when one of the great authors refused to appear on her show and have his book featured. She was upset that she got rejected. That's a great news for those who see her as fake.

    because sexism is still confused with nature as racism once was; because anything that affects males is seen as more serious than anything that affects ???only??? the female half of the human race; because children are still raised mostly by women (to put it mildly) so men especially tend to feel they are regressing to childhood when dealing with a powerful woman; because racism stereotyped black men as more ???masculine??? for so long that some white men find their presence to be masculinity-affirming (as long as there aren???t too many of them); and because there is still no ???right??? way to be a woman in public power without being considered a you-know-what.

    The "Obamacan" fever only proves that sexism is taken one million times less seriously as racism in this country. As Gloria Steinem comments about this election: "So why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one? The reasons are as pervasive as the air we breathe:

    Barack Obama is what America needs!! He has solely won over the hearts and minds of Americans because of his passionate political views. Barack puts himself in the shoes of every American, he talks people listen, no matter what political party one might be associated with. We need change and if that's what you are waiting for then Obama is your MAN!!!.

    It was not factcheck but snopes which detailed Time's research in Indonesia which was obviously sham. I read snopes again about his church. Their explanation is that calling the church "African" is legit beacuse there is a "Polish" church round the corner. Ha. Twisted theory. Usually these ethnic churches are for first generation Immigrants who are used to their old system. (like Armenian, Russian, Indian, Chines) AND THEY DON'T USUALLY RUN FOR PRESIDENT OF USA. Usually from second generation onwards people do not even go to these type of churches. So tell me what is Obama?

    Some people cannot see..what is truly going on in this country and it is truly entertaining.
    Republicans, such as myself, are pushing the Obama agenda..because of the fact that
    WE know, that when push comes to shove..Americans, as a whole, are never going
    to vote for a black president..So, we think Hillary is a much bigger threat..So, if we
    backdoor Hillary..all of the people who are democratic, will not be willing to have a
    black in the White House...It's a well known fact that this is a national effort on the
    parts of millions and millions of Republicans...WE have a much better chance to beat
    Obama than Clintons...do the math...Obama is just plain and clear...not electable..
    So, I encourage all of your to vote for Obama..it's the Republican Party's first choice..

  • Posted By: emmarcee @ 02/08/2008 4:05:18 PM

    IndigoBlue, I love your story. I would have loved his also, if said that he attended Muslim prayers when he was young, and that meant that he was practising Islam and why he changed to Christian once he came back to USA. It would have made a nice story. But no, he cannot say that because he will lose atheist liberals. When you are running for election, yes people tend to look into all these things. I would n't really care if I get you as my Nurse when I am in the hospital. Again, the republicans are supporting him because they will get him at the end. Believe it or not. Let us wait and see.

      It is clearly circulated through out the Middle East and is a well know fact that
      they are planning to hold tight, with no attack planned...until the elections are over
      They are praying that Mohammed will allow their guy to take over...pulling out of
      Iraq..will be a green light for those terrorist...there won't be much of a fight..In the
      history of our country, this is not the time to put a junior statesman to cut his teeth
      in the White House..We have neither the time not the luxury of four years of doing
      nothing in the world to stabalize the middle east....

    Oprah has done a tremendous amount of humanitarian work, and people hold her in high regard. She is very independent natured, and chose to support a man she thought would truly change this corrupt government we've been enduring. You would think, people wouldn't have to ask "what needs changed" as its all so obvious to those who have been "Awake", but, there still remains a lot of sleepers!!

    I would like to know one thing that has me asking, WHY!!! a few weeks ago I got an email with Edwards,Clinton and Obama standing to the Pledge of Allegiance to the FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Edwards and Clinton both have their hands on their hearts standing at attention and Obama holding his hands together infront of him, WHY??? I was born in Mexico just over the border in Matamoros . all but 5 years of my life I've lived in Fl. I'm 47yrs old, raised as a migrant worker with all the odds against me. when I became us citizen I Pledged Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America with PRIDE and I'm still devoted to this Country and my Sons are UNTIED STATES MARINES, WHY would anybody vote for a Candidate for President of the United States of America that will not put his hand on his heart and take the Pledge. what is he going to do IF he is elected? what is going to happen to this Country if we have President that dose not believe that the Flag of this Country is not worth taking the Pledge of Alliegince?

    • Posted By: Army4RangeR @ 02/09/2008 2:20:48 AM

      I would suggest that anyone has problems understand the true Obama and the things
      that he holds in highest esteem, go to this webiste...www.tucc.org/about.htm. This is
      the beloved church which Obama love and embrace so dearly..It's scary to see his
      first allegiance is to AFRICA..So, you might was to check out what he's trying so
      hard to hide..He is a racist and IF anyone things black Americans are voting for him, for
      any other reason than he is black is ignorant and racist themselves..
