    Comment: I hardly think it is fair to call Caldwell a conservative evangelical, for one he is a member of the United Methodist Church and sympathetic to some of it's left leanings and believe me that is far from conservative.
    So stop trying to trick unknowing christians into thinking that Obama is anything other than he is which is a snake, or a wolf in sheeps clothing.

    Comment: FactCheck.Org is owned by the Annenberg group of Chicago! Talk about a conflict of interest! And Obama has been telling people on the trail to check out the site to verify his opponents claims. Funny, every time that he endorsed something, it turns out to be a part of his spin machine! Like he raised objections in the primaries when Indiana required photo I.D. to vote. He Protested that It took away people's right to vote! I
    knew then and there that he was up to no good! America, wake up from the MASS HYPNOSIS!

    Comment: Everyone of voting age should read these two books written by Obama, 'Dreams of My Father' and 'Audacity of Hope'. Don't buy them, get them from the library before they are removed from the shelves.

    From 'Dreams of My Father', "I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites."

    From 'Dreams of My Father', "'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race."

    From 'Dreams of My Father', "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white."

    From 'Dreams of My Father', "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names."

    From 'Dreams of My Father', "I never emulate WHITE men and BROWN men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela."

    And FINALLY the Most Damning one of ALL of them!!!

    From 'Audacity of Hope', "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

    Comment: Obama's view of the future of America - Socialism which is the next step to Communism!! He admitted to Joe the Plumber than he wanted to spread the wealth! He said that he wanted to make everyone equal! Is America ready for Socialism? The Iranian president, Ahmadinejad, said today that he is glad to see the end to capitalism in America!! Are you glad?????
    ====================================================================================================


    Under socialism a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and social planners decide what people want or what is good for society and then use the coercive power of the State to regulate, tax, and redistribute the wealth of those who work for a living. In other words, socialism is a form of legalized theft.

    The morality of socialism can be summed-up in two words: envy and self-sacrifice. Envy is the desire to not only possess another's wealth but also the desire to see another's wealth lowered to the level of one's own. Socialism's teaching on self-sacrifice was nicely summarized by two of its greatest defenders, Hermann Goering and Bennito Mussolini. The highest principle of Nazism (National Socialism), said Goering, is: "Common good comes before private good." Fascism, said
    Mussolini, is "a life in which the individual, through the sacrifice of his own private interests??realizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies."

    Socialism is the social system which institutionalizes envy and self-sacrifice: It is the social system which uses compulsion and the organized violence of the State to expropriate wealth from the producer class for its redistribution to the parasitical class.

    Despite the intellectuals' psychotic hatred of capitalism, it is the only moral and just social system.

    Capitalism is the only moral system because it requires human beings to deal with one another as traders--that is, as free moral agents trading and selling goods and services on the basis of mutual consent.

    Capitalism is the only just system because the sole criterion that determines the value of thing exchanged is the free, voluntary, universal judgement of the consumer. Coercion and fraud are anathema to the free-market system.

    It is both moral and just because the degree to which man rises or falls in society is determined by the degree to which he uses his mind. Capitalism is the only social system that rewards merit, ability and achievement, regardless of one's birth or station in life.

    Yes, there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient.

    Comment: I am a Catholic pro-Life white Republican woman. I am voting for Obama.

    People forget that BOTH Obama and McCain have been pro-Choice. McCain "flip-flopped" on this issue in 2004 when he started voting 90% with Bush. Prior to 2004 McCain was pro-Choice, and he even called Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell "agents of intolerance" (which in fact they were). Since that time he has stood on a stage with Jerry Falwell, praising him. So it is impossible to know what McCain actually thinks on this issue. Is he pandering to the religious right when he vows to overturn Roe v. Wade? What is really in his heart? How would he act if he were elected? Would you get the conservative McCain you see now, the liberal leftist McCain from 1999-2004? These inconsistencies disturb me. I know there is such a thing as political expedience, but the end result is that I can not trust McCain. Nobody knows his real views on abortion.

    Furthermore, I think that Obama's position on abortion and many other issues is considerably more moderate than is generally assumed.

    To all of the conservatives out there who think that Obama is a flaming liberal, I would like to remind you of what he did when he was elected President of the Harvard Law Review. The Law Review President gets to name ten individuals to write articles for the Review, and these ten people also get to control the content of the publication. All of the minorities and the liberals thought they finally had it made, that Obama would appoint ten left wing editors. Instead, Obama appointed three conservatives, three liberals and four moderates. That year the Law Review was critically acclaimed as the best run and best written Harvard publication in decades.

    So when he wins in November, conservatives don't have to freak out. Obama is a centrist and will appoint a balanced cabinet full of active people who will really get things done. This is exactly what our nation needs in this time of economic crisis.

    Comment: PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE TO BE HELD SUNDAY AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY

    The Free and Equal Elections Coalition (FREE) and the Columbia Political Union are pleased to announce that a Presidential debate will be held this coming Sunday, October 19th, 2008, on the campus of Columbia University.

    ALL SIX of the Presidential candidates who appear on enough state ballots to acquire the 270 Electoral Votes needed to become President are invited. They are as follows (listed in alphabetical order by affiliation):

    Constitution Party Candidate: Chuck Baldwin
    Democratic Party Candidate: Barack Obama
    Green Party Candidate: Cynthia McKinney
    Independent Candidate: Ralph Nader
    Libertarian Party Candidate: Bob Barr
    Republican Party Can John McCain

    The Columbia Political Union will present the debate from 8:00pm to 10:00pm in the Altschul Auditorium, located at 417 International Affairs Building. The debate will be moderated by Pacifica Radio's Amy Goodman, the host of "Democracy Now!". CSPAN will cover the debate, and live radio broadcasts are expected.

    "The Columbia Political Union is committed to energizing political discourse on Columbia's campus," said Allon Brann, Columbia Political Union Publisher. "As a non-partisan organization, we work to provide students with opportunities to encounter and engage with political ideas across a wide ideological spectrum, and on a wide range of issues."

    "It is with these goals in mind that we have organized this Presidential Debate: to give all candidates-- either within or outside of the political "mainstream"-- the opportunity to speak directly to students about their goals on the issues they deem critical for this country."

    "We have invited all eligible candidates, and it is our sincere hope that all will participate, to ensure the substance and rigor of the dialogue which we believe is crucial at this time."

    Certified letters officially inviting each candidate have been sent to the respective campaigns.

    The Free and Equal Elections Coalition and the Columbia Political Union await the response from the candidates. All candidates' supporters are encouraged to contact the Presidential campaigns and urge them to attend.

    The Columbia Political Union seeks to enhance involvement in the political process, domestic and international, and draw every member of the campus community into an ongoing discussion of political ideas.

    FREE is a coalition of political parties, independent citizens and civic organizations formed to promote free and equal elections in the United States.

    Comment: It's amazing to me how so much can be said to distort the Obama ties and NOTHING is said about the McCain Palin ticket. I realize the media has "dumbed down" the nation but folks had best to wake up and take a real good look at the "hockey mom" and her spouse. "TODD" was an active member of the AIP and that organization wants to make Alaska an independent nation. Is that AMERICAN?

    • Posted By: TFPF2F @ 10/13/2008 3:07:56 PM

      Comment: How do the conservatives and the Republican Party describe a candidate that is married to, actively living with, & having children by an "enemy of the State?" Troopergate clearly defines the behind the scene role of her husband Todd who is really the one who got her in all of the trouble. Is that why they want more power and authority for the Vice President? "Sure makes one start thinking again".

    Comment: Obama???. Why Blacks Should Hate Him!

    People watching the McCain Palin campaign are perplexed about the recent attacks on his character regarding his links to Bill Ayers sighting his bombing of the Capitol and other federal targets. Stating that he feels Ayers has changed because he has not killed anyone in over 30 years. Obama???s failure to admit Ayers anti-American activities and close relations with our adversaries is pale in comparison to his even closer relationship with now convicted Chicago criminal who financed his campaign.

    Obama, the ???Community Organizer??? who supposedly helped multitudes get fed and find acceptable housing is trying to distance himself in all literature and bury all web information about his involvement with:

    ??? Getting 43 million dollars ($43,000,000,.00) for Renovating Tony Rezko Properties!
    ??? Obama got a $250,000.00 ???kick back??? from his former law firm in Chicago!
    ??? The Loan was guaranteed by Obama friends at ???Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac??? !
    ??? Rezko filed bankruptcy after receiving our taxpayer money!
    ??? Black and underprivileged tenants were left in ???squalid living conditions??? and the Crack Cocaine houses moved in as their new neighbors!
    ??? Obama got a $1,500,000.00 ???kick back??? from Fannie Mae for his reward.
    ??? Obama the ???Community Organizer??? keeps throwing his arm out of joint while patting himself on the back!

    Ever wonder why Obama???s background is so sketchy? Well when you omit the true history of his activities

    As a minister of the True Gospel I have never used the race card or chosen a man by the color of his skin. However, by their deeds shall you know them and although I am not black I am my brothers keeper!

    Comment: I know exactly what he means when he says Obama has heart. He has relayed that to many of us. That is what drew me to him in the beginning. It wasn't hype. It was not fear. It was a feeling of genuine Hope for our Country. I guess the word is Trust. I cannot say that about McCain and Palin. Add to that a true intelligence that will represent us well to the world. I cannot, in true conscience vote for anyone but him.

    Comment: There is no way a conservative can back Obama. Certainly not a Christian conservative. With Caldwell it's about power and money. Obama is the most statist candidate ever. His record on abortion is well known. If Caldwell wants a project, let him crusade for reducing black illegitimacy, multi-generational welfare, and crime. These are results of Obama type programs. At least Calwell should come out of the closet and everyone he is a liberal. Or better yet, he should resign from his church and pimp for Obama if that is where his heart is.

  • Posted By: StraightFromTheHeart62 @ 10/11/2008 7:25:47 PM

    Comment: I don't think any of us have really found out the truth about either McCain or Obama. Most of the voting opportunists in this country are only looking at two candidates that they think can get in the White House rather than taking the time to find out who else is running in this election - Independents, Constitutional, Green, etc. What we all must realize is that Congress is responsible for all the decisions that are made in this country, uless you are George W. Bush.

  • Posted By: Servant 43 @ 10/11/2008 11:48:55 AM

    Comment: Of course this man supports Obama. He is exempt from paying taxes and Obama has and will vote to raise taxes to keep Christians in their place! Where are Mr. Caldwell's treasures? On earth or in Heaven? If I wanted to I could call myself a Christian or a Muslim or a Jew, but that does not make me either of these. I personally know several Christian leaders who do not even believe Jesus is God! I beg or you, please look to your Bibles for the truth. God supports our rights since conception (not abortion like the democrats). God supports families and not gay-rights as the Democrats have in the past. Obama has always supported the Democrats and will continue to do so. Without God's Blessings we are in for a rough ride in this country.

Why can't we just have the facts...not all the other CRAP! I don't care about the color of their skin or their gender.

America is ready for Obama's ideas and he is going to take this country where we need to go in the future. McCain really is another Bush and I'm hurt to think this country is even considering more of the Bush generation, haven't we had enough?

    Comment: The problem is that people professing the "Christian" faith are not true Christians who abide by the Christ like doctrines. "Thou shalt not kill" doesn't say it's ok in case you declare war. People need to think for themselves instead of going along with the popular. What about the....Do not testify falsely against your neighbor....especially if you are saying that they have weapons of mass destruction.

      Comment: Your whole premise is weak. You sound like the evening news with Dan Rather or Katie Couric. You have made a statement based upon TV media. Take some time and do some research and you will find that the Taliban had used Iraq as a "haven" for their terrorist hiding and conspiring. Have you forgotten how horribly the Iraqi people had been treated under the thug Saddam Hussein? Americans think that every country on the globe should be squeaky white and clean just like them. The fact is that there is no such thing. Thou shalt not kill refers to murder and being a false witness refers to seeking to misrepresent for the purpose of covering something. Don't use the Bible to make it mean what you want it too. Again, my friend, take some time and do some homework and stop taking what others say as fact until you know for sure. Wake up, AMERICA!!!

Unfortunately the color of people's skin does still matter to alot of people, black or white in either direction.

    Comment: VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE
    The upcoming election is the most critical election in the history of our nation. The very future of our nation???s foundation is at stake. Every person will be affected. If the liberals win, then our foundation will no longer be based on the traditional Judeo-Christian morality. It will gradually but assuredly be based on an ever shifting, ever moving foundation. If the liberals win, the damage can???t be stopped with elections two, four or forty years from now. America will forever be changed. We will keep seeing a gradual and growing hostility toward people of faith, especially Christians. The morals of our nation will continue to decline. Our children and grandchildren will pay the price.

"see, McCain is off by a few points, its getting better all ready", "dont let that mean ol observer101 get to you, Ill call his Mommy in the morning and tell her about his picking on Obama, and to leave my little man alone o.k.?"..Harley pulls his now slobbery thumb out of his mouth and says " Momma can I have a pickle?"

    Comment: Observer101, what exactly has McCain done besides find the most unqualified woman he could for the job of VP. We are already suffering at the hands of a do what I feel like doing person in charge and thats exactly what we would get if McCain was elected. Sarah Palin has gone out of her way to defy John McCain by discussing things he said he didnt want as part of his campaign as well as questioning the pulling out of Michigan. This is only just the beginning. Your Naivity as she calls it will be your down fall and all who support that ticket. Have you not had enough??

      Comment: McCain has dealt w/ both sides of the aisle..He continues to...Unlike Obama, who is as far left as the eyes can see...What has he done..Vote present?...Make up piddly little bills?..Come on..All that comes from him is how much America sucks..No positives..UNLESS he is in office..Obama is not the way, the light, nor the one to run a country...He surly didnt have the foresight to act on Fannie Mae or Freddie as McCain has constantly mentioned in the past...Now Obama is trying to say he was worried or concerned?..Come on he is a fence rider...He is seeing NOW how pissed ppl are about the economy being ignored blatantly by the Dems..THEY are the "do as we likers"...Now what are the Dems doing?..Just as Obama, trying to play like they did what they could do, "They tried to investigate Fannie/Macs book cooking" which is another blatant lie on the Dems...Blocking, denying, and passing a bill that hardly did anything to stop the big campaign contributers from running amuck...This IS the DEMS outcome and is what should be expected if they continue to play on Capital Hill unchecked and without consequences...Barney Frank, Pelosi ARE examples of the idiot Dem/Leftwing highrollers that care not about their fellow Americans, but about their campaign contributers....And that is fact by the way they acted these last few weeks..Thank you Bawney Fwank.

Compare that to Palin, a "christian" who "didn't blink" about the VP offer. She didn't blink, she didn't pray. She didn't care what God's thoughts were on the Vice Presidency or it's impact on her family. Rev. Caldwell is a true example of Christianity in action,

    it was in your closing words I found that the real issue for you is the color of Obama's skin, even though, if you believe in the "history" of the bible, Obama has LIGHTER SKIN THAN CHRIST DID, yeah, sorry to burst your "white world" bubble.
    There are people on both side who will or won't vote based on skin color, the important things that you and other "white worldist" like yourself seem to forget, the economy, healthcare FOR ALL, JOBS, AFGHANISTAN, Iraq, These are the things that matter, and as much as you might like to deny it, it does'nt change the FACT that Obama's plans, he's been speaking of for the last 19 months are being adopted, by Bush (on Iraq) By the Iraqi President, also on dealing with Iran and Russia, on hte economy, even as Obama was addressing the "bail out bill" and talking about the insurance coverage going from 100k up 250k, John Mccain came out an later parroted EXACTLY what Obama had suggested, as mccain has done on the issue of CHANGE.

The Georgian conflict w/ Russia, the economy vote for $700 billion...These were pretty serious issues that McCain got right into the camera about as they were happening...Where was Obama?..All I have seen of him at those moments were his advisors and campaign managers talking to cameras and telling the American ppl what Obama says..Which is usually the"wait and see" approach...Looking for votes is all that clown has been doing..From the Iraq war to this current economic crisis Obama has shown nothing but the capacity to wait and see which side of the fence has the most voters then go from there.

I don't understand how any God fearing Christian could think of supporting a candidate who would expose himself and his wife to twenty years of vitriolic hate speech in a ???so called??? church. He even took his two little girls there for their entire lives where they received a weekly indoctrination of anti-American, anti-White, and anti-Semitism rants week after week. If Barack Obama was a Christian or even just a decent man, he would've taken better care of his family and took them to a God fearing church where they were teaching the love of Jesus Christ rather than a hatred of their fellow man and God???s people. But he failed on the most sacred trust that God could give to a man, taking care of his own family. God help us all if this person is handed the keys to the White House. If that's all the better he took care of those closest to him that he loves, what makes you think he'll take better care of the rest of us whom he does not even know?

    Comment: Are pro lifers for all life or just against abortion?

    I am a democrat used to be republican. I am against and actually detest abortion.

    But when one considers who to select as the next President, all life must be taken into account, not just some. How many people are likely to die under a President.

    From 2001 to 2007, the republican???s controlled the entire government., that is both Houses of Congress and the Executive branch. During that time when they had the reins, they did essentially nothing to stop the massive numbers of abortions. But what they did do is unjustifiably invade another country, a country that was almost totally controlled at the time with our inspectors going anywhere and our planes in the air. Tens of thousands of people have now been slaughtered as a result of this invasion. I believe these people count as humanity too.

    Yes, I ask how many people are likely to die under a President. Right now Bush???s numbers are very high and that does NOT include abortion.

    John McCain, being a one dimensional thinker (condemn, threaten, attack) is NOT simply more of the same, he is actually worse. Bush actually thinks and gathers facts before he acts. Bottom of the class, can???t get the words right McCain does NOT and in our current world, that is dangerous.

Presidential hopeful Obama can be clearly seen for who he really is but Rev. Caldwel is a pastor who now simply cannot recognize wrong from right. Christianity is not primarily about MBA of PhD degrees or the good schools you go to or the many rich and influential people you associate with but rather it is the wisdom, boldness and obedience to God???s Word as exemplified by the fisherman Peter and the many unschooled disciples of Jesus Christ who amazed the rulers of that time and continue to amaze generations of people since then including the founding fathers of America.

Presidential hopeful Obama can be clearly seen for who he really is but Rev. Caldwel is a pastor who now simply cannot recognize wrong from right. Christianity is not primarily about MBA of PhD degrees or the good schools you go to or the many rich and influential people you associate with but rather it is the wisdom, boldness and obedience to God???s Word as exemplified by the fisherman Peter and the many unschooled disciples of Jesus Christ who amazed the rulers of that time and continue to amaze generations of people since then including the founding fathers of America.

    Comment: I remember back when we Decmocrate vote Regan into office, and he was a Republican. What does that say about all Decmocrate? Black-Americans or White-Americans, it's not about a friend, it's about who is good for us as Americans, who care about what we need. Leave the religious beliefs on homosexuality out of it, everyone believe what they believes. I have very good friends who are gay and who both know where we each stand on the subject. I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman as God stated. And I believe that their beliefs are between them (gays) and God who judges all. Let stay with the problems of the living here in this mess we all have voted ourselves into and now need to really take a look at who we'll vote into office this time, and does that person really have we as Americans best intrest in his planing of rebuiling the USA.

    Comment: Do you know who were the only ones to leave the USA the day after 9/11 when all air space was closed?
    Yes, you guessed right...Bin Laden family....approved by whom? and why?
    "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword. It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind. And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."

    Comment: Blah, blah, blah. One day we will figure out why the media panders and is 'in love' with Oprahma. Until then, get on the bike. The largest and most extensive voting manipulation in the history of the United States is taking place, in my opinion.

      Comment: Typical ignorant rant from someone who indulges in name calling and labeling. The anti-intellectual bias is truly scary. We claim to value education but we want our leaders to be dumb. Makes no sense to me but I suppose that there is a certain comfort in not being bright. Then the world can be summed up in simplistic slogans and code words. George Bush and company have handed AL Queda a victory in the sense that our panic about terroism put us into a "war" that never ends and cost us billions of dollars while they take ordinary items and use them to make bombs. They'll never win but we're too stupid and stubborn to leave. By the way, why did McCain I'll fight for a hundred years slink out of Michegan with his tail between his legs. Sorry I forgot too complicated a thought process for you to handle.

        Comment: Who was the one that said something about name calling and labeling and then states someone doesn't have the intelligence to understand something simple? Hmmmm, interesting approach.

    Comment: Palin is a character all right. FilthyRichmond.com is even worse under a blacklight.

    Comment: Appaently this pastor is voting for color not character.

      Comment: I disagree. He is more likely voting with his heart as he did before. The problem is, once in the White House, it is no longer "heart" that can make decisions. The world is tough and good faith is no answer to defend our interests and safety. He will be just as disapointed in Obama should he win.
