    Obama is wearing the "The Mask of the Great Deceiver".
    He is a radical Muslim, claiming to be a Christian. He actually wants to "meet" with some of the terrorists that supported the actions on 11 SEP 2001. He hates this country, and anything Patriotic.
    He will most likely want to dismantle a large percentage of our military forces.
    His supporters are like sheep being led to slaughter, they simply do not comprehend the horror that awaits them.

      Obama actually wants to enlarge the Military by about 95.000.

    Ohhh yea.... that Yellow Cake Uranium had "Made in NIGER" stamped on the bottom of it.

      The Yellow cake that was recently moved out of Iraq was there before the first gulf war and was in the possession of the IAEA before OIF

    Most of us are too busy working to be at home to take phone calls from pollsters...well most of us hard-working, taxpayer types anyway. That should tell you who's out there making "opinions" for the rest of us. As a fifty-something citizen of this once great country, I'm reaching a point where I've saved enough and sacrificed enough to finally say "go ahead fools, pay my way", which should be the cynical BO trademark for the disaffected voters in this lousy election.

    Obama did in fact attend a Muslim School. He attended a Public School in Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation where the public schools ARE Muslim schools with Muslim Educations. Was it a so called " Madrassa" ? No. But it was a Muslim School.

    • Posted By: raddave @ 07/13/2008 1:40:34 AM

      Indonesia is not a Muslim country. Yes, it has the largest Muslim population in the world, but its Government is secular anc Christianity is practiced there. Obama did go to a public school in Indonesia, he also attended a Catholic school.

    Man, thelibmedia must really be getting desperate (I sure hope). They'd usually be slanting and spinning 100,000 rpm by now, as they so recently have. O well. Givv'em time.

    If Sen Obama keeps dropping, look for an interesting Convention. Hillary could still be the nominee.

    • Posted By: sharenews @ 07/13/2008 1:29:12 AM

      True. : - )

      PRO-HILLARY website launched. Anyone who would like to sign the pledge (reiterated below and on the site), here is the link to the site: http://www.together4us.com/


      THE PLEDGE OF TOGETHERNESS: SPREAD THE WORD!

      We stand together with her 18 million voters in pursuit of all of the following:

      Bring us together by honoring Hillary Clinton and her supporters at the Democratic National Convention in Denver by:

      Placing her name into nomination (following traditional protocol)

      Ensuring a roll-call vote

      Inviting her to speak, during prime-time, on August 26th, the 88th anniversary of Women's Suffrage

      Bring us together by adoption of policies on the Platform Committee that Hillary Clinton has championed.

      Bring us together through reform of the primary and caucus system to reflect the basic principle of one person - one vote.

      Bring us together through outspoken denunciation of all gender bias, racism and other forms of discrimination.

      Bring us together by making a concerted effort to retire her campaign debt.

      We are being asked to embrace Party Unity without the fair representation of Hillary Clinton and her 18 million voters. Party Unity requires bilateral action. We ask Barack Obama and the DNC to respond.

      -----------------------------------------

      HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS will never forget the mean-spirited and sexist-based dialogue the MainStreamMedia news reporters and political pundits spewed 24/7 about Hillary from the time she entered into the Presidential race right up through the very last primary. No future female Presidential candidate should ever be treated in this despicable manner again. This video provides a barrage of clips on what she put up with in the media:

    G.W.Bush = $1 => $5 a gallon
    G.W.Bush = Bankrupt the country and wipe out the middle class.

    McCain = $5=>$10 a gallon
    McCain = Americans in the class of 3rd world. Massive emmigration out of US to Brazil, Canada, Japan, Europe, ...

    McCain = no more USA.

    • Posted By: ElmerS @ 07/12/2008 11:11:05 AM

      More accurately, Bush and Republican Congress - $1.50 to $2.20 per gallon; since Pelosi/Ried and Democrat Congress $2.20 to $5.00 + per gallon with no end in sight. But, hey, let's try wind, sunlight and fairy dust - we can convert our 200+ million cars and trucks to get around without oil. If we wish hard enough.

      • Posted By: Jill from Florida @ 07/12/2008 11:14:54 AM

        I wonder if we can get the media to start bringing up the Mad Max movies as a sign of things to come under the neoliberal Democrats. Maybe then some more people can equate an Obama administration to "reality".

        • Posted By: ElmerS @ 07/12/2008 11:24:09 AM

          The mediots would still blame "big oil" for not researching something they don't sell. Until the socialists who masquerade as "friends of the Earth" lose their grip on the democrat party, we will be at the mercy of countries that want America destroyed.

    • Posted By: Jill from Florida @ 07/12/2008 11:05:15 AM

      And what do you think Obama's GLOBALIZATION means?
      Google " CFR globalization "

      Try to pay attention while you are reading. See if not it is YOUR candidate that will initiate the American Union.

  • Posted By: princetrumpet @ 07/13/2008 12:24:01 AM

    Obama's clay feet are showing signs of wear and he'll tumble soon. The truth about his lack of extemporaneous speaking ability is showing. His lack of knowledge about history is abysmal. His lack of understanding market psychology is another weakness. He doesn't understand the military. Aside from all this he's perfect (if you're an emotion-based fool). The left is truly showing its collective immaturity in supporting such a hollow man for president. I hope he loses by 15% but that's too much to hope for.

    • Posted By: sharenews @ 07/13/2008 12:33:23 AM

      I think the strategy is to pick a VP who will fill in all those gaps for him so he can go on a non stop tour around the 57 states making speeches (scripted) and hone up on some bowling to bring that score up and definitely find time to learn Spanish on the side while the VP runs the show at the White House. LMAO

  • Posted By: Chloe123 @ 07/12/2008 4:12:30 PM

    The Best choice is John McCain. The other choice is just nonsense. Obama just won out of sheer luck. He is NOTa leader of this country by any means.

    • Posted By: KenTpa @ 07/12/2008 5:39:52 PM

      Qualify it. Explain how McCain's policies will differ from Bush. Tell me about McCain's vision for this country.

      • Posted By: Zombiehero @ 07/12/2008 6:10:08 PM

        Easy go to www.johnmccain.com and find out for yourself....please tell me how Obama's lack of judgment is any better than the currant Bush?

        • Posted By: wayale @ 07/13/2008 12:21:32 AM

          I think there's a fundamental disconnect here. the primary reason I support Obama is *because* of his judgment: to stand against the war from the start, on ethics reform, on making sure everyone is insured, to instituting real alternative energy investment, not just some one-time only x-prize, among many other issues. I think McCain is worse than Bush! Bush opposed all these things from the start, however wrong he may be. McCain started out as an appealing moderate and then subsequently waffled on everything - even down to torture, what should be his signature issue. I can name a dozen more issues that I trust Obama's judgment to deal with than I do McCain.

  • Posted By: pumas.on.the prowl @ 07/12/2008 5:22:08 PM

    Obama peaked in February and has been trending downward in every objective measure since: fund-raising, polling, and votes. Why is the media just now figuring this out?

    • Posted By: sirhc @ 07/12/2008 5:48:32 PM

      OBAMA DIDN'T PEAK IN FEBRUARY. HRC GOT MATHEMATICALLY ELIMANTED IN FEBRUARY AND INSTEAD OF DOING THE RIGHT THING SHE REVED UP HER ATTACKS WHILE OBAMA SAW NO GAIN IN ATTACKING HER-SO HE HAS BEEN SAYING KIND WORDS ABOUT HER SINCE THEN-AND REALLY BEFORE THEN. SHE WAS THE AGGRESSOR AT THE END BECAUSE SHE HAD TO AND JUST LIKE IN SPORTS-THE AGGRESSOR WILL WIN BUT SINCE SHE WAS ALREADY MATHEMATICALLY ELIMINATED- IT WAS AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY-NOW SHE'S BEGGING HIM AND HIS SUPPORTERS TO HELP HER OUT OF THE DEBT SHE PUT HERSELF IN BY THE CONSTANT SCORCHED EARTH METHOD. OBAMA IS LEADING IN THE POLLS EVEN AFTER-GOING AFTER THE HIS CHURCH, GOING AFTER HIS WIFE, CARVILLE AND JESSE AFTER HIS TESTICLES, RACIAL SLURS(BOY, TIGER WOODS, CURIOUS GEORGE THE MONKEY....ETC), RELIGIOUS SLURS, CALLING HIM A FLOPPER, ANTI-PATRIOTIC, ASSASSINATION INNUENDOS, HIS DEM. COUNTERPART SUPPORTING THE RIVAL REPUBLICAN NOMINEE, CALLING HIM A RACIST (YET AYERS, HIS GRANDMOTHER, PARENTS, HRC WHO HE IS PAYING HER DEBT OFF ARE ALL WHITE), CALLING HIM A SEXIST, CALLING HIM A SYMPATHIZER, HANNITY WITH HIS NON STOP -I HATE OBAMA EXPRESS, AM AND FOX CONSISTENTLY SPEWING GARBAGE ON HIM......ETC.
      THE THING IS THAT TECHNOLOGY IS TOO GOOD NOW-YOU CAN'T PULL A SWIFTBOAT, WILLIE HORTON, GAY MARRIAGE IN THIS ELECTION. ACCESS TO THE TRUTH IS TOO EASY AND OBAMA'S CAMPAIGN HAS HELPED THAT ACCESS. GAME OVER.

        You loser candidate will continue his losing streak. He will indeed lose. Control the caps. Screeching in print does not have the same effect. Typically we don't care and pass you by.

        I just thought I'd provide some big-sister advice.

        Keep pumping for your loser. You must. You forced him on the rest of us.

          the rhetoric on both sides can be just silly. we don't need to bash each other over the head with insults to make our point. sometimes I feel like all the nasty comments are posted by someone pulling the strings to make it seem like there's disunity. I was at Unity, NH. It sure seemed like they enjoyed each other's company to me. they were both as complimentary and gracious as I've ever heard either of them.

  • Posted By: nikolai @ 07/12/2008 4:20:43 PM

    Hillary voted "nay" on FISA, but maybe because she felt she didn't have anything to lose since Obama is now the offical Democratic presidental delegate and She IS Senator of NY after all, a strongly liberal state, so that explains HER vote, but Obama??? Maybe Obama thought he might lose IL in November if he didn't vote for FISA? That's a lot of votes since Illinois is the 5th most populated state. I sure would like to give him some sodium pentathol and hear what he has to say...

    • Posted By: Pansycritter @ 07/12/2008 7:03:56 PM

      Obama will lose in November. By nature he is a loser because he is a fake and a liar.

        See Keating Five Scandal where your precious crook McStupid cost us TAXPAYERS $3.2 MILLION DOLLARS BY TAKING A BRIBE FOR $20,000!! And do you think by getting into the Whitehouse he is going o turn over a new leaf and become honest??? Oh PULEEEEEEEEEZE give me a break! He is a peice of sh**!

    • Posted By: sharenews @ 07/12/2008 5:45:35 PM

      Simple clarification: There is no OFFICIAL democratic nominee until the Democratic National Convention takes place. That is what the DNC is about: making the nominee official (same goes with the RNC).

    FACT: In January of 1995 when in the first time in 40 years the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress the average gas price in the US was $1.06 a gallon. (Note: there was just a few months in 2002-2003 that Jumpin Jim caused a brief switch in the US Senate to the Democrats)

    FACT: In January of 2007 when the DEMOCRATs took back control of both houses of Congress the average price of Gasoline in the US was $2.28 a gallon.

    FACT: In "TWELVE" again, in 12 years of Republican Control of Congress gas prices rose 215% with no adjustment for inflation.

    FACT: Right now under a DEMOCRAT led Congress gasoline prices in the US average $4.16 a gallon.

    FACT: Since the DEMOCRATs took over both houses in Congress in January 2007 just "EIGHTEEN" again, just 18 months ago, gasoline has sky rocketed 182.46%!!!!! Even with an adjustment for inflation that still qualifies as skyrocketing!!! That is ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO PERCENT INCREASE IN AVERAGE GAS PRICES IN ONLY 18 MONTHS!!!

    FACT: In 12 years of a Republican controlled Congress gas prices rose and average of 17.91% per year or 01.49% per month.

    FACT: In 18 MONTHs of a DEMOCRAT controlled Congress gas prices rose and average of "121.64%" per year or 10.13% per MONTH!!!!

    ???THAT IS SIX POINT EIGHT TIMES ((6.8 TIMES)) GREATER
    INCREASE IN GASOLINE PRICES UNDER A DEMOCRAT CONGRESS!!???

    FACT: During the Carter years a DEMOCRAT Congress put off limits 98% of all US public lands to oil exploration.

    FACT: A DEMOCRAT Congress put off limits BILLIONs of barrels of "KNOWN" oil deposits in a small 2000 acre coastal plain part of ANWR which is 19,000,000 acres in size.

    FACT: A DEMOCRAT Congress put off limits the coastal shelf, an area with KNOWN oil deposits of BILLIONs of barrels of oil and TRILLIONs of cubic feet of natural gas.

    FACT: A DEMOCRAT Congress put off limits KNOWN oil shale deposits located in The largest deposits in the world are found in the United States in the Green River basin, which covers portions of Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming; about 70% of this resource is located on federally owned or managed land. Deposits in the United States constitute 62% of world resources which is in shale oil roughly three times the oil reserves of Saudi Arabia.

    Question, how did this world energy crisis become President Bushes fault?

    • Posted By: Muley63 @ 07/12/2008 10:24:06 PM

      Fact: There is only 3% reserve of the coast and Alaska. There is not enough out there to make a difference when you have China, India and the rest of the emerging world making demands on an open market. If in 20 years, when the oil starts flowing, gas price will remain the same or even be higher because there will be even more demand. Home oil companies are not going to give a home discount. Give up their profits? Never.

      Fact: Republicans and Democrats, in fact America should have been prepared for this, but we have been pandered to, lied to about our energy crises. Now it's here and unavoidable. Hard choices face us. We could once again believe the lies from the Republicans, but that will not change the fact. Oil is in high demand, that's why it's expensive. Classic supply and demand economics. Drilling won't make any difference.

      Fact: Republicans are once again using scare tactics to buffalo the American public. Don't fall for it.

      Fact: Republicans have been in charge for 14 years. They have led us into a quagmire, half a trillion dollar in more debt and have done nothing to secure our energy policy.

      Fact: It's time to throw the Republicans out.

        If we a country that can get a man on the moon, why should we not be using all this money and knowledge on researching ways to eliminate fossils fuels and invent something more effective and efficient. Better electric cars, alternative methods of fuels, etc. There is no never ending supply of fossil fuels!!! But the republican party has throughout history, been a champion of oil and gas companies. If it is such a crisis, why did Exxon make record profits in tepast year, the highest of any company in US history??

  • Posted By: Pansycritter @ 07/12/2008 6:38:48 PM

    Obama is not a muslim, he did not take his official oath to office on a Qur'an. This is merely a "story" created to mitigate the truth. He is a liar, a loser and a fake. He will tell you what you want to hear and dust you off his shoulder like dander when he is done with you.

    Rev. Wright was indeed right. Obama is a politician and will say whatever it takes to get the votes. The funny part is the morons who are blinded by the Mr. faculty lounge and his wagging finger.

    Although where can the flaming Liberal's go? They gave us this grief, they must continue to support their god no matter what. "It does not matter how he flips on the issues, he's not George Bush." Actually they are correct, he's not George Bush. He's not that experienced.

    • Posted By: notroubleatall1963 @ 07/12/2008 6:42:57 PM

      I don't want another dumb playboy type running (ruining) our country.

      I'll take Obama's experience over McTaint's any day of the week. His intellect and deeply thoughtful, diverse and educated background are such a startling contrast to the moron in the White House who McTaint, bless his heart, must "copy" for fear of his own political livelihood.

      No more mediocre morons ruining our country - get the best, the brightest and the most forward-thinking, the most respected overseas. We don't need to be the redneck hicks of the Western World any longer.

      YEEHAH!!!! OBAMA in 2008!!!!

        Oh finally someone that knows and understands Obama. Please, can you give me a list of his proposed legislation, the votes on issues besides present? Or, how many 'present' votes back up his current positions? What legislation did he cosponsor if he was too busy to actually introduce any bills....
        I'm sure you can set the record straight on that for me....

    This is the same crap from the MSM telling the lies that his is a "close race" or a "dead heat". The only thing that is dead is McCain's chances of being elected president. The main stream media fails to report the numerous gaffes he makes day after day that show how incompetant he is. Maybe it's time the MSM take their heads out of their ASSES and report the REAL NEWS!

And even though the US weapons inspectors said there were NO weapons, expolsives, or ammunition from Iran, and the latest NIE said Iran had backed away from uranium enrichment...why are you deterimined to take this country into another, a third war? Is it because of your "experience" and "Judgment"?
