    The new way to campaign will be, if your name does not sound American, you will be called, a terrorist, a spy, you will be a sleeper cell, you will be a foreigner who may do very very bad things to our country, Latinos/Hispanics should be on the front line, writing, calling, and emailing, newspapers, TV and Cable stations telling them to stop covering McCain and Palin, as long as their campaign is about HATE.
    Not issues, but HATE, the McCain / Palin rallys are inciting anti-semetic, racist, anti-immigrant, lynch mob mentalities to stir them up to the point of one of them yelling out to "kill Mr. Obama" that is wrong and when they are finish with Mr.Obama, they will come for you and your name or group.

    America has had enough of this type of HATE, and this country is to great for decent people to stand by and do or say nothing. ENOUGH

    YOU HAVE BEEN OBAMATIZED.....

    Obama for president! I think that is the funniest tag line for a joke I have heard all year.

    It is amazing that he still has fans that think he is a great guy... Eventhough he is a documented liar, has questionable relationships, wants to lessen our countries security, and has strong immoral beliefs. You would think that this wouldn't be an issue because of his obvious failings, but it appears that ignorance is at an all time high!

    It sure is scary that people have the ability to smile while they contribute to the decline of America.

    Get out your "I love China!" bumper stickers.

      McCain is a documented liar.
      He cheated on his first wife several times, who was sick,
      he filled out a marriage license application saying he was divorced
      and he was NOT, where is the integrity in that.

      McCain lied that he care about the troops, check out the veterans website
      veterans report card, Mr. Obama has done more for the troop than McCain.

      Just because McCain was a POW, does not make him more concerned with the troops, he voted against Body Armour for our troops, look it up.

      McCain the liar

    "Not all Democrats agree with Mr. Frank that such policies are off-limits to criticism. Last week Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama said in a statement: 'Like a lot of my Democratic colleagues I was too slow to appreciate the recklessness of Fannie and Freddie. I defended their efforts to encourage affordable homeownership, when in retrospect, I should have heeded the concerns raised by their regulator in 2004. Frankly, I wish my Democratic colleagues would admit when it comes to Fannie and Freddie, we were wrong.'

    "Mr. Davis is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus."

    'Rank snobbery'

    Camille Paglia, who supports Sen. Barack Obama, has nothing but scorn for the way the media has treated Sarah Palin.

    "The mountain of rubbish poured out about Palin over the past month would rival Everest. What a disgrace for our jabbering army of liberal journalists and commentators, too many of whom behaved like snippy jackasses," Miss Paglia writes at www.salon.com.

    "The bourgeois conventionalism and rank snobbery of these alleged humanitarians stank up the place. As for Palin's brutally edited interviews with Charlie Gibson and that viper, Katie Couric, don't we all know that the best bits ended up on the cutting-room floor? Something has gone seriously wrong with Democratic ideology, which seems to have become a candied set of holier-than-thou bromides attached like tutti-frutti to a quivering green Jell-O mold of adolescent sentimentality."

    The Antichrist!:
    When George Soros failed to obtain the election of his candidate, John Kerry, in 2004, he brooded for a while, even said he might get out of politics altogether, but he just couldn???t stop himself. He has stated publicly that he wishes to burst the ???bubble of American supremacy,??? because he says our preeminence in the world is a detriment to global ???equilibrium.??? So far, he has failed, but he keeps on trying.

    And Mr. Soros has made no secret either of the fact that he sees the shortest way to effect political shake-ups, what he terms ???regime changes,??? is through very difficult economic conditions.

    America has not yet felt the full force of Soros style economic shock treatment. But others have.

    Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British pound with leveraged billions in financial bets, and became known as the man who broke the Bank of England. He broke it on the backs of hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely devalued and their life savings cut drastically in comparative worth almost overnight.

    When the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 threatened to spread globally, George Soros was right in the thick of it. Soros was accused by the Malaysian Prime Minister of causing the collapse with his monetary machinations, and he was branded in Thailand as an ???economic war criminal??? who ???sucks the blood from the people.??? Right in the middle of this crisis, Soros dashed off his book, The Crisis of Global Capitalism, which demanded a ???third way??? toward economic stability.

    Wake up, America, before it is too late!!!!

    IN MY OPINION: WHY DID McCAIN LEAVE THE REV. J, WRIGHT OUT OF THE LINE OF FIRE NOW THAT HE IS BAD MOUTHING OBAMA? IS IT BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS CAN COUNTER MORE EFFECTIVELY BY POINTING OUT THAT PALIN PREYS WITH WITCH MINISTERS? OR COULD IT BE THAT IF HE ATTACKS REV. J. WRIGHT, HE WOULD BE ATTACKING THE CRISTIAN VOTERS, AND THIS WOULD REALLY HURT HIM!
    WHAT? AM I GOING TO VOTE FOR THE McCPALIN TICKET TO NOWHERE! HELL NO! VOTE (WHERE THE POWER IS!) DEMOCRAT!

      If this is true, then they are wasting their time. The document were destroyed when McCain asked her to be VP.

    The Latino vote will go for Obama - too much disgust with Republicans and how they are treating Latin families. Republicans are talking too much trash and hatered and we are sick of it. We want real change and respect.

      For those that really understand the Latino/Hispanic culture, no self-respecting Latino will ???really??? vote for a Black man. Let???s just be honest. The U.S. is 3-4 generations deep of Latino voters that harbor negative sentiments as regards Black people. Latinos would rather vote for the Pro-life ticket than the Black man. Sad but true.

      • Posted By: baybluv @ 10/03/2008 5:35:00 PM

        Then maybe Michael Moore needs to do a movie called Stupid Latina since it is the White man that's shipping your a!!! back to Mexico or where ever you come from.

      For those that really understand the Latino/Hispanic culture, no self-respecting Latino will vote for a Black man. let's just be honest. The U.S. is still 3-4 genrations deep of Latino voters who harbor negative sentiments towards Blacks. Fo that matter, Latinos would rather vote for a pro-life candidate than a Black man. Sad but so true.

    SARAH PALIN IS NOW BEING JUDGED FOR ALLOWING ARIEL WOLF HUNTS IN ALASKA ! SHE HAS SIGNED A BILL THAT WILL ALLOW WOLF HUNTS AND THE PETA PEOPLE ARE GOING NUTS ABOUT IT AND THE LEFTIST LIBERALS TOO !! ITS NOT OKAY TO FLY A PLANE IN A STATE THAT IS ALMOST ALL WILDERNESS TO HUNT DOWN WOLFS THAT HAVE BEEN DEPLETEING THE OTHER WILD LIFE IN THE STATE ! THESE WOLFS HAVE GROWN IN POPULATION SO MUCH THAT THEY ARE NOW COMMING INTO CITIES AND TOWNS TO HUNT THEY ARE KILLING OFF LIVESTOCK AND DOMESTIC DOGS AND CATS PLUS LAST YEAR IN THE STATE THERE HAVE BEEN 19 REPORTS OF HUMANS BEING ATTACKED 14 OF WHICH WERE CHILDREN ! (GOOD THING SOMEONE WAS THERE TO HELP THEM ) SO THE LIBERALS AND PETA ARE IN A UPROAR !! BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT LIKE I DO YOU WILL COME TO THIS ......... WOLFS HAVE AS MANY AS 12 PUPS AT A TIME BUT NO FEWER THAN 5 AND IN A PACK 85% OF THE PUPS SURVIVE ! SO THAT BEING SAID THE WOLF POPULATION IS VERY HEARTY NOW MOST PEOPEL HAVE 1 KID AT A TIME SOME TIMES 2 OR 3 RARELY MORE ! WHY IS IT WRONG TO KILL OFF SOME WOLFS THAT ARE NOW BEING REAL BOLD AS TO ATTACK HUMANS BUT ITS OKAY FOR THE LIBERALS TO SAY HEY IF YOU DON'T WANT THAT KID GO GET RID OF IT ! SO WHAT I SEE IS ITS OKAY TO KILL BABIES IN THE LIBERAL POINT OF VEIW BUT IF YOU KILL A WOLF THEN YOUR A BAD PERSON !

      This woman is sick, it's one thing to kill for food but just for sport is just sick. She really is like Cheney, so don't go hunting with her or you might get shot. The worst part about it is she calls herself a Christian and has no problem destroying the precious animals that GOD created. If she's a Christian than I'm Mother Teresa reincarnated.

    i remember when hilary tried everything to knock obama down even the kitchen sink and it did not work! now the obama camp is trying everything including the kitchen sink on palin and its not working ! she gets bigger crowds at her rallies and he gets small ones his ego is crushed and he is worried that he will lose the white house ! and he should be ! McCAIN / PALIN 08 ! >>>>>>>>>> OBAMA / BIDEN BACK TO THE SENATE !
    as history suggests issues of policy will ultimately trump the politics of identity. obama is all about who he is and nothing about what he has done ! McCain is all about what he has done not who he is ! the choice is clear !

    Given that Obama fell asleep in a radical left wing anti American church for 20 years, one will only have one thing to say about Obama - We will pray for him and his wife and his children. Given his remarks in San Francisco about clinging to their guns and Bibles, one should wonder about his faith. Given his votes to teach 5 year old sex training - he does not take into account if the child is ready for the clinical definition of sex. In short, we will pray for his and his wife.

    What race for the Latino Hispainc Evangelcal Vote? McCain/Palin have it hands down.

    Everyone who understands the real Latino/Hispanic culture, knows that no self-respecting Latino will "really" vote for a Black Man. Let's just be honest. It's not pretty but it is true. Check out the gang violence, prisons and jails and you'll see that Latinos and Blacks despise oneanother. Sorry if this hurts. Latinos do love baby-savers.

    • Posted By: THE RAVEN @ 09/09/2008 5:41:34 PM

      Shut the fu*k up, moron. The most despised race in this country (on this planet) are you ***, redneck, cracker pedophiles. Soon, your race won't even exist, dumb ass.
