    Stick to the plan...call anyone who doesn't support The False One racist...It
    is Hussein101Textbook philosophy. But on this issue...words really don't matter.
    Documentation does...or lack of it. A Federal Judge is going to make this call. You
    should really look at the evidence presented by Berg...pretty compelling. And bottom
    line is this...Hussein's eligibility has been called into question for a long time.
    He has ignored requests for access to a vaulted copy of his Birth Certificate. The
    posted C.O.L.B. has been declared tampered with by multiple analysts. The judge refused
    to toss out the lawsuit, and had Hussein, DNC, and FEC served with a summons. That
    in itself speaks volumes.
    If the Judge rules expediency...we will know by months end...If the accusations are
    true...HE IS DONE.
    NOBAMA!!!
    ===============
    All talk, all rant, all hate mongering. Because you cannot point to a single source to back your claims, how can we tell if you are being accurate in your assertions of what Obama has done? And in what context do words not matter? If in any context, then would you agree that the words of the Bible don't matter, the Constitution's words don't matter, Bush's words don't matter, Hitler's words didn't matter? In what context? What federal judge? Where are you getting your sources? TV? Radio? And you claim that Obama is presently udner ivnestigation?
    I honestly think that you may not be a racist at all, but a person so removed from the realities of American society.

      Are you AFRAID to check out Berg's website? He has ALL the info, for anyone to view....ONE MORE TIME...and I promise Allah will not strike you blind.

      ......obamacrimes .com...........

      Philip Berg is former Deputy Attorney General of the State of Pennsylvania.

      NOBAMA!!!

    The litany of falsehoods and distortions coming from the McCain/Palin campaign are not being reported at the time they are uttered with responsible journalism, which would make a MUCH bigger issue of the falsehood itself than the false accusation. The media in general has been diverted to one political sideshow after another..... our country's very FUTURE is at stake... stop being afraid of being falsely (pre-emptively even!) accused of bias, and start doing your jobs... report the story, which is what they said, and even more so...about the falsehoods OF what they are saying. The premeditated falsehoods ARE the story, not the false claim itself...the media has given credence to these lies by not identifying the falsehoods as the big story themselves. No political candidate I've ever seen before has come out with lies blazing like Palin has...and the media's totally let her get away with it unscathed....the media is REWARDING lies instead of holding them accountable, and are absolutely abdicating their responsibility to our country in so doing...you are doing the U.S.A. an enormous disservice by encouraging division and a vote based on deliberate misinformation.. I understand that the media exists for ratings ratings ratings, and that a lopsided campaign victory margin makes for lower ratings. With McCain's voting record so eerily in step with a VERY unpopular Bush's, the polls right now SHOULD be running 70/30 against him...irresponsible reporting has kept this a 'horse race'...which is the media's goal....but it's absolutely HORRIBLE for the country. Are you in the media and at MSNBC, going to doom this country to continue it's express-track to failure...for RATINGS??!? I'm sure that the end days of this country will be tumultuous and newsworthy...is that what you're attempting to bring about?

    I totally agree with bdhotwheels, these are not good times to be experimenting with our leadership of this country.. And `Osama obama wants change? Well, I f i were `Obama, i would start looking at changing myself before deciding to try and change the country. And yes, he is nothing more than a great `Bull-S****er.

    How can you be a christian and still want to bear arms. You are a hypocrate. You are not a christian. Shame on you. Do you as a christian believe in the Golden rule "to Love you neighbour as your self " and makes the Holy Scriptures as your authority of life or you believe in a 2nd amendement as your authority. You will do well to promote harmony among Americans than use your fake knowledge of religion to ferment trouble. Be careful.

    I'm disappointed in Newsweek for giving the biased view that Palin would like to teach Creationism in schools. Palin has stated (and has been confirmed by factcheck.org) that she would like students to be given both perspectives in classrooms (evolution vs. creation) in order to spark debate and give students both sides of what is considered to be an important issue. However, she would impose no rulings that would force Creationism to be taught in the classroom. That Newsweek is putting this misleading information out there, both in the context of their poll and with this article, is a terrible display of irresponsible journalism and horrible fact-checking. Regardless of who you support in this election, everyone should demand ethical and truthful journalism. Shame on you, Newsweek.

    I want to know exactly who is being polled? This has always facinated me. I have voted in every election since I have been eligible to vote (approx. 20 years ago) and have never been contacted and asked to participate in a political poll. I've asked a lot of my friends and family the same question and they too say they have never been asked to participate in a poll. So when the left, right, and/or the media discuss poll results...who are they
    talking about?

  • Posted By: Omaar @ 09/14/2008 8:04:03 PM

    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER: "NO MAN SHOULD BE PRESIDENT, OVER THE AGE OF 70"

    PARAPHRASING....GOOGLE IT UP "MY FRIENDS"

    MCCAIN HAS ALZHEIMERS OR DEMENTIA....

    HE SAYS "MY FRIENDS' A THOUSAND TIMES A DAY !!!

    MCCAIN HAS NOTICED A BIG DIP IN HIS AUDIENCE WHEN HE'S NOT WITH SARAH PALIN !!

    AN WHEN SARAH PALIN SPEAKS AN MCCAIN FOLLOWS HER REDUNDANT SPEECH, THE AUDIENCE DWINDLES AND ARE LESS ENTHUSUIASTIC OR THEY SIMPLE LEAVE, WHILE MCCAIN STATES IN EVERYOTHER SENTENCE, "MY FROENDS" !!!

    THATS ONE TELLING SIGN !!!

    THE POLL NUMBERS ARE [EVEN] AFTER THE RAH RAH RAH AT THE DNC, THE WAY PALIN HAS LIED AND EVADED THE PRESS, MCCAIN HAS BLATANTLY LIED AND TRIED TO COVER UP PALIN'S LIES, REGARDING "THE BRIDGE TO NOWHERE" "PALIN BEING THE EARMARKS QUEEN] [TROPPER GATE] [HER HUSBANDS MEMBERSHIP WITH THE AIP]

    THE SECCESSIONIST MOVEMENT AND THEIR GOALS THROUGH PARTY MEMBERS BECOMING A PART OF THE 2 MAJOR POLITICAL PARTIES, KEEP IN MIND, THE AIP IS THE 3RD LARGEST POLITICAL PARTY IN ALASKA !!!

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

    PALIN IS A FRAUD...PERIOD !!!

    PS: SINCE THE RNC BIG TIME HATE FEST AND SURGE IN THE POLLS, THE [ POLLS ARE DEAD EVEN] AND THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE FAVORS OBAMA !!! [348]

    ALL OBAMA HAS TO DO IS GET TO [370] 1ST AND HE'S IN THE WHITE HOUSE

    Any more studdering interviews I have to watch with Obama and I'm going to have to vomit! This guy is a liar and just by the way he tries to say the right thing, you know some of his views are forced! This guy would make a good car salesman, but not a President. Come on people, this is no time for us to cross our fingers and "experiment" the Presidency with this guy! I'd rather take my chances on Palin!

    Sherdon 1..You don't understand???I???m not going to vote for Obama because he is black???I???m not going to vote for Obama for his radical ideas, for being a socialist (reward the lazy and punish the hard worker) for his friendship with terrorists, for his anti-American values (not putting his hands on his heart while they played the national anthem, not wearing his American pin???etc..etc), for sitting 20 years in that church, because he is a racist, because of his inexperience, for the house he bought with the help of a convict???.etc, etc.

    She was for the bridge to nowhere before she was against it (then kept the money) -- there are multiple videos showing this.

    She claims she did not support sucessionist party 'Alaska First' -- watch youtube to see her support speech at their convention. Todd Palin a member 1995-2002. Joe Vogler, The founder of the AIP once said, "The fires of Hell are glaciers compared to my hate for the American Government, and I won't be buried under their damned flag!" Listen for yourself palintruth (dot) org.

    She claims she was in Iraq, and Army records contradict this -- maybe she was lost.

    She claims she visited Ireland -- touchdown, but did not get out of the plane.

    Clams to be a deficit hawk, but when she became mayor of Wasilla the town had no debt, now 13 million in debt.

    Foreign policy experience -- has seen the Russian coast from Alaska. Ha, ha, ha...

    Claims Alaska produces 20% of US energy - more like 3.8%.

    Special interests - how about all those oil companies.

    No lobbyist - oops, Wasilla paid 30k for a washington lobbyist.

    Earmarks? -- I bet Wasilla is one of the highest per capita recipients of earmarks in the U.S..

    Support for special needs kids, nice but empty words -- she cut special needs budgets by 62%.

    She seems to be a pathelogical liar without a strong connection to reality (i.e. 'facts'). I anticipate she will resign the nomination after further scrutiny...

      Regarding Todd Palins secessionist ties--
      Don't forget, according to Christian fundamentalists, who take the Bible literally, wives must "be subject to their husbands." Huckabee, Palin's greatest cheerleader, even took out a big ad in the NY TImes saying so. It will be interesting to see how the Christian Right reconciles THAT one. All wives but the one we the GOP have anointed, I guess...

    No to a black president. America should be ruled by white president only. Obama has a totally deffirent radical values. You can see what kind of man he was when he desperately fought SARAH PALIN with his negative attack`s. Is that the kind of man you want to rule America ?? think again before it`s too late....

    Dear Newsweek,
    I didn't get to vote in your poll. I am voting for Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
    The Republican party has turned into a disgrace. They are blatently racist, are destroying our environment, have destroyed our econmy, have lost the respect of the rest of the world, are in the pocket of big oil and big business and the wealthy. They could care less about the working man, the senior citizen on Social Security, the middle clas or the poor. Time to dump these embarassing haters out of office.
