    (Part IV)
    I see and read articles claiming that the majority of Americans surveyed or polled say that they would support or vote for a qualified Gay Candidate. I know that gay people have strong financial and social resources. So where is the problem? So I tell myself that I will run for Presidency of the United States and in doing so not only will the world see the justice of the first Gay Presidential Candidate, but will also in double-benefit attain one that is also Hispanic and foreign-born, a naturalized American Citizen, who nowadays does, speaks and even thinks primarily in the English language. But wait a minute! Then I realize, if I am not mistaken, a foreign-born American Citizen cannot run for the Presidency of the United States. So there I go again, looking for articles on the subject in the Internet. And thus, I come across an article titled ???Schwarzenegger: Let foreign-born seek White House.??? But then just a little into the article I come across the following statement: ???Schwarzenegger reaffirmed his opposition to the gay marriages that are taking place in San Francisco. He said Mayor Gavin Newsom's refusal to obey the state's law against same-sex marriages could set a bad precedent [2].??? However, before he had made that statement he also said: "There are so many people in this country that are now from overseas, that are immigrants, that are doing such a terrific job with their work, bringing businesses here, that there's no reason why not," said Schwarzenegger, who became a U.S. citizen in 1983. "Look at the kind of contribution that people like Henry Kissinger have made, Madeleine Albright," he said, referring to two former secretaries of state who were born in Europe [2].??? And there is the great hypocrisy of seeking fairness for some, and denying the legal rights of others. It is a researched fact that marriages improve the propensity of human beings to being less promiscuous and thus to contribute to the betterment of the overall health of society. So why deny gay (and when I say ???gay??? I always project also the term for ???lesbian???) people the opportunity to have such a just legal standing. To me a marriage certificate is nothing more than a paper, because true loyalty to somebody or something cannot be written on paper, but it does provide for many legal protections that living in an imperfect and generally unfairly biased world necessitates. And in doing so more gay teenage individuals prone to much instability in their love affairs would seek to settle down in a faithful family life style with the person of their preference. That is something that intelligent heterosexual individuals accept in the comfort of their private lives, but which they selfishly deny in public.

    (Part V)

    So I thought, my life has been very unstable, with a chaotic academic history and the victim of injustices that the world cannot possibly conceive regardless of how rationally one may wish to convey such experiences to them. And I say to myself, well, if I want action I need to be the action, and if I cannot make a choice for voting because both candidates are essentially social criminals, then I must act upon the fabric of justice and create for myself the moral and ethical models that could potentially change the true appeal of fairness, and which would therefore provide for a candidate worthy of my vote, assuming that his/her overall agenda was equally embracing of human and social rights in other areas. So I momentarily decide to double major in Political Science or International Relations, and give my current classes in Criminal Justice a second chance, and then I realize that before I can run for presidency as a Gay man, I need to amend the Constitution to a higher standard of justice by permitting foreign-born U.S. Citizens to run for the North American Presidency.

    (Part VI)

    I am a veteran of the United States Military. I was there waiting in Kuwait, eating dust along with the food in my MRE, sometimes not feeling the skin on my fingers because the dust and the cold were making numb the skin lacking regular showers; there was I running around the camp looking after the welfare of all personnel, driving the Ambulance to Camp Doha to do some final orders for eyeglasses for the better visual acuity of the troops. I then went to Iraq, went through the war and came back home, determined to either bringing justice to my military career which I had plan to extend, or to otherwise leave for good. But regardless of how much one sometimes tries to help the world to see, they remain under a veil of selfishness and untrue appearances. Most are afraid to be who they are. Most are afraid to do the right thing, because to do so would mean a harsh existence. I know. I am living proof of such rationalizations. Sometimes at the hypocrite side, but mainly on the sit of the victimized. So I am a good enough legal Resident of the United States Government or foreign-born U.S. Citizen to go to war on behalf of defending the rhetoric of this country, to put my life on the line for the so called American Freedoms and Justice by now inherent in the Constitution, but I am not good enough to run for Presidency, but some who have never come across the horrors of war and the foreign conflicts of bringing about the formulations of the White House to the mere bottom, can freely and legally enjoy the opportunity to lead. I believe that an individual does not necessarily have to live the life of another to being able to properly empathize with that person, and cannot practically do so, however, the Bible also mentions, why should you be telling me to take out the little something that I have in my eye, when you yourself have a big thing in yours that is rendering you more blind. But my hope is that we as human beings can learn to be empathic enough to learn from our mistakes and to embrace the rights and dignity of all human lives, foreign and domestic, regardless of what our personal ambitions may be.

    (Part VII)

    Judges 6:15 says (with minor variations in translation): ???And he said unto him, ???O Lord, how shall I save Israel? Behold, my thousand is the smallest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father???s house.??? Now if you read it in Spanish you may come across my last name. And if you read the whole Bible you may find my other names, in 2 Chronicles 4:36, in Luke chapter 3.

    I want a world of Justice led by the U.S.A. I want a New Order for the World where the leaders not only claim support for the human rights and civil liberties of their own good causes, but also support those of other just causes, instead of opposing other fair causes either due to ignorance or a selfish-seeking to secure a position in office.

    (Part VIII)

    I wish to see a Foreign-Born, Gay American President. I am a visionary who brings his dreams into action, and if shall politics deny me my legal human right to lead, I will be just as happy to instill the seed of passion and thirst into the younger generations to never being afraid of anyone or anything in the pursue of Justice, Fairness, and Social Equality with the emancipation of Human Rights and Dignity and the fundamental embracing of Mercy, Compassion and Love. And to always understand that without Forgiveness we can only move backwards. Yes, I see the United States with a highly amended Constitution that has aptly adapted to a changing more civilized world. Or else, I see a United States of America with a brand new Constitution, whether out of inevitable unwanted chaos and loss, or preferably out of the fabric of the contributions of peaceful co-existence to the betterment of the human race.

                We salute your service. Use the common military ground you and McCain share to help him feel more passionately about supporting the troops.

                Many news sources have researched the ratio of political donations from active military personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan, between Obama and McCain.

                Obama leads 6 to 1 in campaign donations from active personnel, from unbiased sources.

                Follow the money to see who the troops support, because they want the change they need.

    Actually, blogging is their job. They all work at the Obama headquarters for spin blogging posing as citizens that they are not:
    "White senior female that will vote for Obama",
    "Life long Republican male retired marines that will vote for Obama",
    "Former Neo-Nazi sympathizer that sees that Obama is the only candidate that is good for this country!"
    It is quite laughable and predictable the formula nature of the responses! Just like Water bottle gate when females "mysteriously fainted in his audience and his words were always carbon copies of those used under the exact same circumstances each time!HAHAHAHA!

I think the Dems are more honest - and more intelligent. Biden really, really impressed me last night - Palin - well - she reads her notes really well - but not much depth to her - and very robotic.

What I do in terms of blogging, I do in my own free time because I am passionate about my belief that Obama does not deserve to be in the White house! Or, more accurately, the American people deserve better! If The McCain camp offered me more venues for my voice to be heard, I would actually pay them for the opportunity!

    One wonders how low McCain will stoop in his desperation. Somewhere, Karl Rove and Steven Schmidt are hunkered down in a bunker dreaming up an a campaign of lies to release as an 'October Surprise.' Maybe, just this once, the October Surprise will be that the American Public stands up for decency and says 'Enough!'.

    Obamas International Socialist Connections
    By Cliff Kincaid
    February 14, 2008

    (Post 1 of 2)

    EXCERPTS:

    OBAMAS SOCIALIST BACKING goes back at least to1996, when he received the
    endorsement of the Chicago branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for an Illinois state senate seat. Later, the Chicago DSA newsletter reported that OBAMA, as a state senator, showed up to EULOGIZE SAUL MENDELSON, one of the champions of Chicagos DEMOCRATIC LEFT AND A LONG-TIME SOCIALIST ACTIVIST. Obamas stint as a community organizer in Chicago has gotten some attention, but his RELATIONSHIP WITH THE DSA SOCIALISTS, who groomed and backed him, has been generally ignored.

    In the next paragraph below is a fascinating video link showing OBAMA CAMPAIGNING FOR OPENLY SOCIALIST SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS of Vermont.

    Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIlIpOkRh2A

    DSA describes itself as the LARGEST SOCIALIST ORGANIZATION in the United States and the principal U.S. AFFILIATE of the SOCIALIST INTERNATIONAL. The Socialist International (SI) has what is called CONSULTATIVE STATUS with the United Nations. In other words, IT WORKS HAND-IN-GLOVE WITH THE WORLD BODY.

    The INTERNATIONAL CONNECTION IS IMPORTANT and SIGNIFICANT because an Obama bill, THE GLOBAL POVERTY ACT, has just been (was - sharenews) rushed through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, with the assistance of (none other than. . . Surprise. . sharenews) Democratic Senator JOE BIDEN, the chairman, and Republican Senator Richard Lugar. The legislation (S.2433) COMMITS the U.S. to SPENDING HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS of dollars more IN FOREIGN AID on the REST OF THE WORLD, in order to comply with the Millennium GOALS established by the United Nations. Conservative members of the committee were largely caught off-guard by the move to pass the Obama bill but are PUTTING A HOLD ON IT (Thank God -share news), in order to try to prevent the legislation, which also quickly passed the House, from being quickly brought up for a full Senate vote. But observers think that Senate

Actually i don't watch MSNBCa after eight, it's almost as biased as Faux is 24/7. PBS challenges one to think for yourself. I know that this ais a drastic concept, but...

              Alright, here's what you do.
              Turn off Rush and Hannity on the radio.
              Turn off O'Reilly and Hannity on the TV.
              If you don't trust the MSM, and I suspect that Rush has already told you that you don't, then watch C-span, or better yet, PBS for information. It will hurt to leave the hive-mind at first and have to think for yourself, but you will be grateful when you don't need talking points to have a discussion.

          Mark, No it is not always right. But I remeber you to be a less personal attacker in the past in these blogs, like in the late primaries and the progressive GE run for Obama lately. Well, at least that is my take for what it is worth. Whatever, one reason why I dont blog as much on Newsweek these days.

            The only reason I became more personal was because that was the only way to get your attention. I posted many times behind you and there was no response. Now that I have your attention, I was trying to tell you all along that your postings are going bad, and sound desperate. Then Loriw starts chiming in with the same dung because she too knows she is in the minority of bloggers that copy you.

            Then later in the season of the race, your articles have gone more and more extreme. Lori tries out of desperation to post similar way out there blogs which, I was not kidding become ad nauseum. Six months ago, I would never make that type of comment to you or her, however in my opinion, take a step back, look at your older postings and see the difference.

            And when the two of you were challenged originally, there was no posturing by either one of you, rather, there was good argument going back and forth. Now, all you do Share is post and run, Loriw attempts to respond at least. And when neos says your clogging the blog, that was the first time I saw you respond in the last three months. Perhaps if I am the only person saying what I am saying to you that one thing.

                  As for the big billionaires and socialist conspiracy. Where to start... Do you even know what socialism is?? Pay attention, attend and learn. we start with Marxism. Marxism was a logical and compassionate response to 19th century laisse faire capitalism which saw 10-12 hour work days, 6 days a week, child labour, horrendous and hazardous working conditions and a general disregard of the human needs of the labor work force, These two idealogies butted heads and some results were the failure of a brutal Communism in the Soviet Union and the eclipse of unregulated Capitalism in the united States and Europe. In its stead a new syncretism arose which maintained the dynamic drive of capitalism tempered by governmental regulations designed to insure a degree of fairness for the common man. Medicare, Social Security, Minumum Wage, Occupational and Safety Health Standards regulations and more topically the new call for wall street regulation all attest to a socialist parentage. Anyways, the point is that you should realize that the great war between Communism and Capitalism has reached a truce resulting in the synthesis which is modern American socio-economic reality. And we will undoubtedly incorporate more 'socialism' into our society regardless of who is elected. Universal health care, Hillary Clinton's signature issue, for example is essentially a socialist idea and is inevitable. Stop trying to scare people with the socialist boogeyman. The 50's are over. Join the future..

                  Notice i didn't need a foxnews article to express an opinion..

      Haven't we seen articles
      re: the know-someone-who-knows-someone mathematical idea,
      that we all have connections
      to everyone on the planet?

      So, share(fox)news, what's your story? What started you on the path to the dark side? When did you stop standing up FOR ideals and start being only AGAINST something, or in this case someone. You are in the Nobama party. Let me hear of all the wonderful issues that you agree on with Senator McCain and enough with your personal vendetta; you are beginning to sound obsessed. Don't tell me you are one of the ex-hillary deadenders..

      I have one question for you, in your research for these obscure findings, do you think that you are going to change the mind of people with the extremeness of whatever you post?

      I am truly amazed and admire the research you do...however, when you become OCD with your postings, it tends to trivialiize the original posting to the point of ad nauseum. What do you expect to accomplish by repeating yourself over and over again about the same thing? You know you are bordering on the definition of being nutsy or senile.

      Lori also has that bad habit too. Everyone who blogs here have seen you both do that and for some reason, corrective criticism falls of deaf ears with both of you. Who or what are you trying to convince when you post the things you do not once, twice, or even three times. I have seen the same thing posted up to a dozen times.

      I am done for tonight. Something for both of you to ponder. Go to Jay Leno for some new material.

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday again shows Barack Obama attracting 51% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. For each of the past eight days, Obama has been at 50% or 51% and McCain has been at 44% or 45% (see trends). New polling shows Obama pulling away in New Hampshire and opening a growing lead in the Electoral College projections.

    The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator shows Obama leading in states with 217 Electoral College votes while McCain has the edge in states with 174 votes. When ???leaners??? are included, Obama leads 264-185 These trends are becoming ominous signal to me that unless McCain pulls something out of the hat, and knocks out Obama, the separation will only become larger. McCain must see the bailout proposal pass today, otherwise he will have greater difficulty until the election.

    For some of you who try to knock Obama down with obscure references, and be repeating yourself over and over again over the same material about how bad he is, will not change the momentum on a macro level. Perhaps a micro level, which will do absolutely nothing to change the course of direction of the race. Perhaps your venting is a catharsis to you. The writing is on the wall. A little bit of Deja vu for Hillary fans.

    You can try to spin the debate any way you want, Palin regained her dignity, Biden won the debate. I will be back after the next debate on Tuesday. Ciao

    CNN's poll gives the debate to Biden, 51% to 36%.....Frank Luntz's focus group found Palin's performance to be most effective...CBS News's poll: 46% of uncommitted voters surveyed gave the debate to Biden, where 21% thought Palin won. But 55% said their opinion of Palin changed for the better; 53% said their opinions of Biden changed in the positive direction as well. 18% of uncommitted voters are now committed to Obama; 10% are committed to McCain.

    So Luntz's poll found her "more effective"? I guess that means she won 46% to 45%, with 9% undecided.

    Biden's a statesman already. But that's okay, because she can see the Aleutians from... her house? What?

      I don't think there's anything lovable about that wormy ball of hate and misogyny.
