Running for office of the President of the United States julian 007(perker-head)
`I saw a picture of the candidates on stage and saying the Pledge of Alligence...all but Obama...what is the deal with that? If it is because of th e"under God;" we are a christian nation and was founded on that...so how can he runn and not be firm in the christian foundation...if it is because he does not pledge, then how can he be our Commander in Chief...yes Hillary is a woman, but she belives in Christ and she Pledges her Alligence!
It was the national anthem, not the pledge of allegiance. He was singing it. He pledges allegiance to the flag at every senate session with his hand on his heart.
Obviously in this day and age, a picture can't be doctored. Amazing, simply amazing......your ignorance that is.
Our nation wasn't founded on Christianity, it was founded on religious freedom. What's one of the first things we did in the colonies? Perhaps you remember the Salem Witch Trials? What I find interesting is how both Hillary and Obama both talk extensively about this election not being about race or sex. I find that whenever someone has to tell you what their not trying to do over and over again...they really are. Ever notice when someone is about to say something aweful they preceede it by saying "not to sound rude or anything?"
Furthermore, most of your discussions here prove the effect of their campaing. Very few who have posted have actually mentioned anyone's qualifications. They either start with how racist we are or how sexist we are. All of these smoke and mirror arguements don't lead anywhere. The sad part is, no matter who is chosen as the democratic candidate for president, we as a nation will be dealing with the backwash for months or years. We'll either be hearing about how racist or how sexist as a nation we are.
WHAT THE F*** geelsie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The United States wasfounded on RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE and FREEDOM not CHRISTIANITY. Even if the first people to settle here were Christians there main goal was to establish a country that would represent everyone, no matter what religion. So as far as I'M conserned I live in and continue to live in a RELIGIOUSLY TOLERANT country not a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY.
Us Dollar is dipping down in the international exchange market. The election candidates further pull it down by focing money into unproductive and self gain propaganda area - DR.VSRS
People just do your homework! I was raised to judge a man or women by the content of their character. Look at the past choices of the each candidate and pray that GOD will give you the WISDOM to make the right choice. Everybody counts in this election. Be true to yourself. I have chosen Obama! May the best candidate win in November 2008!
I have nothing against Obama,
He is defenitely not Martin L King. He stood for the rights of others and earned the respect that we have for him.
Obama is wanna be King, he is a good spreaker, and he is black (but he is no brother!) he has not served in the military, probable never been a boy scout! has limited experience in the senate, what is he all about? Change ?
We have had all of the changes we need, what we need is a back to basic candidate, make the US strong, kick ass in the world both mlitarily and economically. The rest of the nations don't give a hoot about america! or what happens to us.
I am a viet nam veteran, where over 50,000 american died, we have ahd a few thousan die in irak , so what , wher is our back bone. More veterans died in wwI and WWII and Korea, I agree with McCain get Bin Laden at all cost and beat these redcal into dust.
I would have prefered Powell as my first black president, we've had presidents named washington, Jackson, Eisenhower, Adams (OBAMA ?) please....
Why do you think Hillary Clinton can "kick ass"? When hs she done this related to keeping our country safe.? The person who did that was Bill Clinton, so are you saying you would rather have a co-presidency? Show me what Hillary has done on her own that makes you say this about "HER" not her husband. Are you basing a vote against Mr. Obama based on his NAME?????? Now we are into
using names as a division. I never thought I would see that one.
RESEACH! OBAMA has very detailed plans for the Nation. You can go to his website at: www.Barackobama.com and review. He has a 65 page "Blue Print for America" that you can download. OBAMA outlines 20 policies, whereas CLINTON only has 12. She is vague. Her positions change with the Poll
I on the other hand suggest you go to www.tucc.org/about.htm...It is eye opening..This is
Obama's much loved and embraced church...He has endorsed this church's bylaws
He has relatives in Kenya...for the love of GOD...you think we send too much money now,
hang on to your hat..
And his church is a problem because???? Relatives in Kenya are a problem because???? I have relatives around the globe... does that make me any less American? Every president walks into the office with pet projects and pet charities... Obama would be no different.
Hillary is the joke! Her husband is the butt of the joke and she knows what is going on, always has even when he was gov in Arkansas. Will sit and cry when someone attacks the US. I have always been a Republican and always voted republican but will cross the line this year to vote for Obama against Hillary.
Obama is a self serving racists - go Clinton 0- we need people in office who will serve poor whites too and not only blacks
What makes him a racist? Whats your proof for such a statement?
Well, I'm not sure about you, but I sat and cried when the United States was attacked on 9/11. The bigger question may be why didn't you? Senator Clinton may hold a higher love for this country than most people I know and if I could vote for her twice...I would. Try to be an adult and seperate personal from private. I have never cared what happens in the bedroom of any official and perhaps you shouldn't either.
AT LEAST WHEN CLINTON WAS OUR PRESIDENT HE GOT US OUT OF DEBT. WE DIDN'T PAY 3.50 A GALLON OF GAS ,AND WE HAD NO WAR.
You are truely on it. Some people have nothing better to do than lie on others, judge and put them down. My question is What makes anyone the judge and the accuser.
Great!
julian007...i'm white and i'm a woman, and i'm voting for obama...
a lot of people are voting obama...
it's not a "color" thing.
if it was a "black community" thing, then the black community would have voted for Moseley Braun or Al Sharpton in 2004; but it is widely known that they didn't; they voted for their white counter part...
Scold me if I'm wrong, ur voting for Hussein 'cos "a lot of people are voting obama...". gmattson ur the reason I suggest that IQ test be performed on Americans before they're allowed to vote. By the way, I'm black and free of the herd mentality
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT OBAMA GOT SO MANY VOTES DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE MAN TURNS HIS BACK ON THE FLAG,& NEVER SALUTES THE FLAG. HE WAS EDUCATED IN IRAN AND HIS FATHER IS A RADICLE MUSLIM. WHAT HAPPENED? YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELFS.
I agree with you. I did not know his religion but with everything going on with all the threats on America, I would not doubt that Obama was part of it...a false security will be our downfall. I am really concerned about him being nominated. As xs_casualty stated, I am a Democrat but will cross & vote republican to keep from voting for Obama who does not believe in Jehovah God or the Lord Jesus Christ...and who does NOT salute the flag of the United States of America...he does NOT love America!!!
You are believing lies from a rediculous email. Look it up on any fact check. Just type in "who is Barack Obama". You will find it is just lies. You should question the source of this email.
Again, where is your proof? Why don't you look it up. If it is all lies, you should be suspicious of the source. It amazes me that this comes from the Christian right. What happened to thou shalt not lie? Maybe they just can't really find anything really that wrong with Barack. So, they make up lies. Go to any fact check and type in "Who is Barack Obama"
WHAT'S YOUR POINT IN SPREADING THESE IDIOTIC LIES ABOUT BARACK OBAMA'S RELIGION AND THE FLAG..IT'S NOT WORKING. ANYONE WITH HALF A BRAIN KNOWS THESE ARE ALL LIES...GIVE IT UP AND GO AND ENLIGHTEN YOURSELF..
Do you have your facts straight? Do you know him personally to say he doesn't love his country?
To JustmeinArk: "does not in no way?" Is that English you're speaking? Also, why do you have such odd rules of capitalization in your writing? You must not have been to a real nursing school.
idiot, actually, I was class president! I find it odd that You have nothing more to do than analyze My grammer... Your Comment
I am amazed at the ignorance of some people,white people affraid that if there is a black president, things will change to the point where it will be a black country, and somehow white people will become the minorities. Black people who beleive Obama isn't black enough.Remeber that this is America, a melting pot of all races, the future has arrived don't be affraid of it, and don't worry no one is going to paint the White House Black.
ahampton, I am not afraid of having a black president. nor do I care what color the "white house" is! I do care about character, experience and shutter at His muslim background.Enter Your Comment
I am a woman from NY. Higher intelligence but lower income with disabled children. Time and time again I have seen Mrs Clinton say one thing yet support another. Big business, which once was eschewed is now embraced by her. Her choices, her votes have spoken much louder than words. I cannot vote for her.
Conversely, from what I have seen Obama gives his support as stated. He is NOT nor has never BEEN a Muslim... he is, in fact, a Christian. He and his wife were married under that religion, their children baptized so. There is much mis-information going around. Race, Gender, even Religion imho, should NEVER be the basis for a vote. Instead the thoughtful person should look first at what the hopeful is saying. Then, look at any record of what has been said previoiusly. Finally, look at the actions that have been taken. Changes in what is said is not a problem. A thinking person is ALWAYS challenging their own beliefs, altering them as they learn more. What matters most is the conviction and support that they give those causes they claim to support. Are those causes your own, and once the candidate SAYS they support a cause, do their actions follow their words?
"Race, Gender, even Religion imho, should NEVER be the basis for a vote. Instead the thoughtful person should look first at what the hopeful is saying. Then, look at any record of what has been said previoiusly."
Good, now explain why 80% of blacks are voting for Obama
I did not say that everyone uses that criteria, only that this is the way a Thinking person should approach an election. I actually think that too many people just vote for whoever's soundbite sounds the best, or against the one that sounds the worst. They vote for who they are told they should vote for, or against the person who is different from them in one way or another. On the other hand, who is saying that they haven't looked at the issues and beliefs and simply found that they agree with Obama and believe that he will follow through?
Last night, at my precinct's caucus, there were at least 300 people packed into an elementary school classroom. The precinct captain said that four years ago, there were only 15 people. This election is so important that everybody is excited and getting involved. Spirits in this discussion are certainly running high, but let's remember to be civil with one another. Afterall, our votes will determine the outcome, not our rhetoric.
Does anyone have a clue what a racist re-breader is?
Yes, a raqcist re-breeder is barack obama
I think it is you that is a racist. Where's your evidence for such a claim?
I won't vote for obama - enough of this tribal bandwaggon - blacks in birmingham alabama where I live last night stated on Tv that they voted for obama strictly becasue he is black - I will not supposrt a racist opponent and will switch parties to vote if need be. No more racist views or self serving views - go Clinton
Okay, you won't vote for him because of why others are voting for him. What about people who are backing Hillary because she's a woman? What about people who are voting for McCain because he's a white male? What about people who vote for Hucakabee because he's outwardly Christian? or Romney because he's a Mormon? There are people who will vote for candidates for all kind of descriminating reasons. You should vote for the candidate that you think will be the best president.
You're on a roll tonight terravista, a real credit to the American people and the human race in general. It's probably a good thing you won't vote for Obama, but please consider taking it a step further: You shouldn't be voting at all.
Cmon!!!! Tell us again who you are that would throw our country to the wind for a name, color or a family's religion.
All u Obama zombies; can u please tell me one of Hussein's accomplishment?. I'm thinking of voting for Hussein but I can't seem to find any accomplishment tied to him except that "he's a great speaker"; but of course we all know that's an attribute. By the way I've been told by a lot of people that I inspire people with my writing; do u guys and dolls think I could be considered as Hussein's running mate; find below my "accomplishments"
I inspire people especially low esteemed Americans with my writing skills
I was once a community organizer for a neighborhood that had lost jobs in a steel mill
I was a member of the Jalopy State senate who has always played it safe by voting present
I was elected into the US Senate to represent Jalopy state and the next year I offered myself for election as President of the US without having sponsored or cosponsored any serious legislation that would "CHANGE" the lives of my "fellow Americans"
I campaigned merely on rhetoric, my campaign theme was "CHANGE IS COMING TO AMERICA"; my friends in the liberal press have given me a free ride based on my race. Any serious criticism to my campaign is stage managed by my liberal press friends as an attack on my race.
I am surrounded by advisers from Bill Clinton administration and also compared myself to JFK despite the fact that "this election is about the future not the past"
I am a christian with the middle name Hussein or maybe I'm a muslim; I'm not too sure anymore. I'm sure we can overlook that small fact after all we need CHANGE.
http://www.barackobama.com/index.php . Now what!
Clearly, in your case, ignorance is bliss! As for your skillful writing...a brain would have helped make it even better. LOL!
I am from IL and I cannot tell you of ANY accomplishments from him for the state of Illinois....
28 years od Bush's and Clinton's 28 years. You may say there's no connections but look deeper and you'll find that there more then meets your eyes. There all CFR (look it up) members just like MCCain. You just think your in charge of your votes. Bush and Kerry were cousins what are those odds? Look into the real lives of these canidates and see their affiliations. Neither of these canidates will be elected, Bush will proclaim him self Dictator after another National Emergency. Google NSPD 51 and read it closely.
It is regrettable that senseless diatribes are allowed on this site; fortunately for us of us, we have freedom of speech.
Not to take anything away from Hillary, but Obama is exceptionally bright, insightful, a seasoned albeit younger politician with a great record as a public servant. Unlike Hillary, he is not a divisive figure; he has generated a groundswell of renewed interest among younger voters; he has garnered support among a record number of Independents; his supporters represent a broad cross-section of the population (men, women, Black, White, Asian, Latino, Muslim, Christian, Democrats, Independents and some Republicans). Unlike Hillary/McCain, Obama did not support the war in Iraq, he did not side with Bush in a failed attempt to move closer towards military action against Iran. For those of you who are quick to judge Obama-check your facts. He is not as inexperienced as you have been lead to believe. Trust me, Obama or Hillary would be a welcome change from "W" (as in "Worst President Ever"); however, at the end of the day we need a candidate who will garner the support of all Democrats(young and old, Black and white, men and women), as well as Independents and dissatisfied Republicans alike.
We need a leader with vision, intelligence and yes, ???hope???, who will take this country in a new direction!! We need to rebuild alliances with our former allies, reinvigorate the economy, create new jobs and put an end to the influence that corporations currently wield. Hillary unfortunately is viewed as a polarizing figure within the Democratic party. It is believed that she will galvanize Republican support for McCain (bye-bye Republican Obama supporters) we will also lose a significant number of Independent voters (Obama supporters as well!), younger voters may lose their enthusiasm to support a Clinton candidacy and as such, may not show up in large numbers. Hopefully, the superdelegates will be used wisely. An Obama candidacy also has the potential to bring voters out in record numbers for House and Senate races. It???s time for elected officials to get back to the business of being ???public servants??? again. Sowers of lies and misinformation(more lies) need to pick up a real newspaper for a change (New York Times, Financial Times) or listen to a reliable source of information (PBS, NPR Lehrer New Hour, The Daily Show w/ Jon Stewart, MSNBC (Keith Obermeyer) or Bill Maher) and stop listening to Limbaugh and Fox News. One final note: Yes we can make the US a great country again! Yes we can elect a candidate that cares more about US citizens than corporations. Yes we can do better than ???W.??? because we can???t do any worse!
Bill Clinton has cheated on Hillary since his first term as the Arkansas Governor. The has three sexual-harrassment cases, and two rape cases that were buried by Clinton appointed judges. OBAMA has done alot for REAL PEOPLE! Working in communities devastated by Clinton's North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), saw injust and became a Civil Rights Lawyer graduating from Harvard... Taught Civil Law and U.S. Constitution Law in the #2 Law school in the world. Saw injustice in the laws, so became a law maker to help create equality for people through effective legislation in the State Legislature for 8 years in Illinois. Saw an opportunity to work on behalf of the people of Illinois thru election to the U.S. Senate for 4 years. Longer in Elected Offices than Bill Clitnon before he became President, Longer than Hillary before she ran for office... and he is older than Bill Clinton or JFK when they were elected. So, it seems to be that OBAMA has devoted his LIFE to helping people lift their economic status and ensured equality. Hillary is a Corporate Lawyer who work on laying people off, protecting corporate interests and note that ALL documents that Hillary worked on at her long-time Firm were destroy. She was the first FIRST-LADY to ever be under Criminal Investigation.
Be careful of accusations. Personally, I feel that anyone who has an affair that it is between them and their spouse only. It has nothing to do with how well one performs their job. I am not trying to justify it at all, only that some matters are personal and should be treated as such. What does how many people one has been with got to do with running a country? The Clinton's were doing such a darn good job of handling important matters that the republicans were only envious and chose to spend mega tax dollars paid for by us the citizens and came out with nothing on Hillary. What a waste of money and time.
You beloved Hillary is a Criminal. Senior Democrats, i.e. Tom Daschel, Ted Kennedy and John Kerry, worked 10 years to get damning evidence suppressed about the Clinton's illegal activities in the White House. They did it to protect the integrity of the Democratic Party. Why do you think they are all backing OBAMA? The Republicans are going to destroy Hillary with releasing the evidence. If Hillary gains the nomination, McCain will win. Learn what you're talking about! PLEASE
Be willing to back up your accusations.
