    Vote in California! Brothers and sisters, we need to vote for proposition 8 in order to protect marriage between men and women. We need to vote for McCain, not because of his religion, not because he is Republican, but because he will support a traditional concept of marriage.

    Step one of colonization: Make the natives think you are not a threat, that you are here to help them.

    Step two: Expand, and be diverse--ie., don't just stick to the Catholic church, infiltrate all of the other churches.

    Step three: Divide and conquer--make the natives as confused as possible about what to do, even when common sense says you're being conquered.

    History will give credit to Latin America's brilliance in making a "Democratic coup" by infiltrating and overpopulating our country, and playing on our tolerance and good Christian will to stymy us from doing much of anything about it.

    Great 'reporting'

      Steps 1.2. &3 sound like their words straight from a Pilgrim invasion manual.
      Your next description sounds downright Xenophobic. You're joking right? Everyone knows that immigrants that come and stay ALWAYS have kids that want to assimilate. It only takes 1 generation for that desire to take hold. The fundamentals of America's values don't change because they are sound. The whole world buys into "the land of the free"- no matter where they come from.

    Mad McCain = Mucho Loco.

    Incidents : lack of mental stability and emotional maturity, short temper, impetuosity and proclivity for high-stakes gambling and also casinos, casinos, McCain gambling in Casinos"


    Uncontrolled reactions and Bad Temper :
    I have heard too many anecdotes of an Uncontrolled, Irascible and Arrogant McCain.
    This is worse than Alzheimer ( Reagan, Thatcher and many others ), This is worse than Racism ( many presidents of the USA ), This is worse than personal cowardice, because many cowards have been excellent politicians and statemen.

    People with Alzheimer can follow good advice and cowards can be super Intelligent and Analytical. Racists can follow the voice of Reason as has happened very often recently ( which will help a lot Mr Obama ).

    The worst in any president is to become mad falling pray to irresponsible actions.

    No Vote por Demente, No Vote por Loco, No Vote por Irascible, No Vote Por Impetuoso, No Vote por Irrational, No Vote por Descontrol, No Vote por Furioso, No Vote por arrogante..

      Vicenteduq - You're way out of line and in addition Hispanics I speak to don't talk of McCain in this disrespectful way. Do everyone a favor and at least treat the subject fairly.

      YOUR ACCUSATIONS ABOUT MCCAIN ARE TOTALLY UNFOUNDED!!! If you REALLY WANT TO KNOW MORE about McCain, his love, dedication and patriotism, I would suggest that your watch the movie "Faith Of My Fathers"...it is the story of McCain's imprisonment in Vietnam...and his relentless patriotism, his love for this nation (following in the steps of his father and grandfather, now sons)... His short temper is a symptom of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder...and it is very common in veterans who were put into situations of torture for long periods of time...YOU NEED TO THANK EVERY VETERAN FOR YOUR FREEDOM TO POST SUCH UNAMERICAN TRASH!!!!!!!

    Who played the financial markets to crash down for Obama's favor? THE TIMING WAS VERY CRITICAL. Right when Mccain was in the lead. How many "international " investors were involved? who is bent to make Barack Husein Obama the POTUS? fIRST THEY PLAYED THE energy crisis. WE beat them. Then they withdrew their holdings and support for our fianancial system. "AMERICA had it coming". WE entertained all these back stabbers who were more than ready to pull the money away from wall street market. All so legally. Govt had to step in to stop the short sale of uSA. YOu liberals who play with antiamerican terrorist coutries, we will let you know you also hold the other end of this stick.

    One comment on the debate last night was that Obama thinks it is a right for those to receive health care and McCain said that it was a responsibility to receive health care....... exactually health care is not a right.... nor is it a privledge it is a responsibility for each individual to obtain and maintain there health insurance and coverage for there benefit..... To say that it is a right only infringe upon the welfare of those who have studied to become doctors and tells them they have to provide their services to those who refuse to pay for it or to be compensated in any manner.... The only way for those doctors to be compensated is by government interference and mandating that they provide the services and the government through taxes will compensate them for their services... This is socialism in its fullest form and McCain was right in saying that Barack Obama wants a government run health care system not a privately run system....

    Do all people deserve to be treated for medical purposes? Yes they do deserve to be treated no doubt about that ....but who is responsible for the payment of these medical bills? This is where the debate starts.... are we to insist that companies provide a health care plan for it's employees? Are we to insist that those who own their own company provide for other's health care? Or should we tell the government that wants to regulates the health care industry that they should pass laws against the FDA which drive up the cost of medicine and don't want to open the free market to natural medicines to drive down the cost?

      Taxpayers are paying for the poor to receive healthcare now, so wouldn't it make more sense to have a program set up where everyone can benefits. You may be well off enough today to pay for your own healthcare BUT no one knows what tomorrow will bring. It's easy to say who should be responsible when you have healthcare BUT what happens if you can't pay for your healthcare. Would you expect your brother to be your keeper then. It amazes me how people only think of today never tomorrow. You know where you've been but you don't know what tomorrow holds. It's always a different story when it hits home.

      • Posted By: bojack27 @ 10/10/2008 3:58:34 PM

        baybluv,

        You are right in saying no one know what tomorrow may bring.... but here is a problem that I have with paying for everyone.... it is socialism.... that alone is changing the dynamics of our political structure and has been proven to be a economic failure within communist countries like russia and china.....

        The problem with taxpayers paying while others just collect is an idea that will bankrupt this nation in the long run..... When President Carter was in office he passed a bill allowing illegal immigrants 65 and over to collect social security even though they never paid a dime into the system.... now we have a problem paying those who have worked all their lives and paid into the system not getting anything while those who never paid one dime reaping the benefits of those who sweated for 40-50 years.... this is wrong and the way out of this isn't to tax your way out but to deny anyone else (who is not currently receiving social security ) the right to receive a single dime if they haven't paid anything into the account and to stop illegal immigrants from receiving the benefits of tax paying citizens.....

    vicente duque . . . do you have a point to make regarding the article or do you just like to rant & attack? and check your grammar. it's "prey" not "pray". you can dispense the spanish. i'm sure the people reading this can read english.

    Christians Unite... Do we want a president who uses the Church as a political pawn. Obama either believed what the Church in Chicago was preaching or he used the Church to get elected to the Senate. Was he a follower or a user. Look what happened when it became politically incorrect to be a member of that Church. HE DUMPED THE CHURCH. Is that what type of president you want, one who's faith is controlled by political opinion. This tells me alot about the character of the person. Obama's character is all about looking good, but inside he is a hollow shell. He will do and say anything to become president, even DUMP his Church...

    Think about what you want for your next president, is this the type of person you want?

  • Posted By: Jimbo56 @ 10/10/2008 12:12:06 AM

    Buying Your Vote - what would it cost for someone to buy your vote, to persuad you to ignore the facts and vote for them. Obama has already spent 455 million, yes million dollars to get you to ignore his Muslim background, his doing nothing as a law professor, his association with terriorists, his rejection of the Church he was a member of for over 20 years. How much more does he have to spend to get you to ignore all of these things and look at his smile and hope and pray that he will do something as a president. Come on, when McCain said lets focus on the economy and figure out some type of financial help, Obama wanted no part of it because he had a date with the camera, he had a photo op that was more important than helping figure out a solution to the mess the economy is in. Is that what he is going to be doing if elected, ditching his job in favor of some reporter doing a story on him, his life, etc.

    Veterans Groups Give McCain Failing Grades. In its most recent legislative ratings, the non-partisan Disabled American Veterans gave Sen. McCain a 20 percent rating for his voting record on veterans' issues. Similarly, the non-partisan Iraq & Afghanistan Veterans of America gave McCain a "D" grade for his poor voting record on veterans' issues.

    Obama has shown the world his true colors and if Lations was smart they would vote McCain. Obama doesn't care about them until election time and he will put them under the bus guarantee once he gets the change. You have to look deep down into a person soul and ask that question, can the lead. and with him the answer is hell no

      this women is a silly dilly,

      how can someone harasse you to the point that you need to register 6 times ( i mean really)....
      she is a little off her rocker with comperhension if she didnt understand it only takes one time( & if she had questions she should have called that 1-800 number offered)....

      is this really what this election has boiled down too? ppl who dont understand the voting process ? or know they only need to register once?

      i still dont get how ppl could be out there & not have a State I.D. nor a D.L? ( i mean you need a state I.D. or S.S. to open up a bank account).... & the Elderly have been on this planet long enough to have one or the other( even if they dont like banks they have some sort of I.D.).... WHO ARE THESE PPL?

    Obama's Campaign Paid Over $800,000 To ACORN For Get-Out-The-Vote Efforts, But "Mistakenly Misrepresented" Their Work To The FEC:

    Obama's Campaign "Paid More Than $800,000" To ACORN For Get-Out-The Vote Efforts; The Campaign Originally "Misrepresented" The Group's Work To The FEC. "U.S. Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign paid more than $800,000 to an offshoot of the liberal Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now for services the Democrat's campaign says it mistakenly misrepresented in federal reports. An Obama spokesman said Federal Election Commission reports would be amended to show Citizens Services Inc. -- a subsidiary of ACORN -- worked in 'get-out-the-vote' projects, instead of activities such as polling, advance work and staging major events as stated in FEC finance reports filed during the primary." (David M. Brown, "Obama To Amend Report On $800,000 In Spending," Pittsburgh Tribune Review, 8/22/08)

    The link below describes how some in Congress tried to use the original version of the bailout bill to divert money eventually recovered to groups like ACORN, a group Obama has a long association with. See:

    as a 2nd generation American Hispanic (both sets of grandparents fled mexico during the mexican revolution), i can say this. 1) i am a fiscal & social conservative. i believe if you get a good education, work hard, make as much money as you want & not be a burden to other taxpayers - then government should get out of the way & not make us support those who would stand around waiting for a handout. i believe in the sanctity of life & marriage. (one thing that has puzzled me, is that so many hispanics claim to be affiliated with the church - which condemns abortion & homosexuality - yet they can abandon their convictions & support a party who supports it). 2) i love the United States of America & i would die for my country. i wave the American flag - not the Mexican flag. I am completely against "ILLEGAL" immigration. Mexicans want to come to this country for a better life, fine. No one can blame them, but do it legally . and when they get here, they need to assimilate to the U.S. way. and yes that means learn the english language. my grandparents did it! 3) i am a non-denominational Christian & have strong convictions about who i vote for. so i would never, ever vote for a man or woman who has liberal/socialist views. b. hussein o. is exactly that. for those journalists, pundits, & yes pastors who would presume/think that they speak for all hispanics, think again. no one can use the "george bush" card with me. mccain & palin are not george bush. i dont care what the democrat candidate says. but in all fairness, i can see why people would be lulled by him. eloquent speech. commanding presence. but he has no substance. the media has elevated him & people have fallen for it. God help us if this man makes it to office.

    Last night M. Obama was on the Larry King show; & he asked her has she thought about the position of first Lady & the "Bradly affect".. M.Obama gave some good answers.. While Cindy is talking about "she wish someone could walk in her shoes"....... is she for-real? & she is saying that her son was over in Iraq when he wasent...... if life in Cindy's shoes are so bad she needs to change her shoes.........

    Earlier i heard that the show called "Morning Joe" said that Obama is only winning by default... i guess that default would be the economic crisis.. forget the fact this this guy has been working hard for years now & beat the Clinton Machine & is now leading over the "Maverick"...

    McCain is soooooooooooo FAKE !!!! How in the world can McCain call himself a Mavrick & a Reformer X-P.O.W. & he doesnt even have a solid support of the Military folks? that doesnt even make sense.. what a phony ! if his own Military folks arent backing him at high Numbers then he doesnt even get their sympathy/empathy vote..... WOW !! That's deeper then Obama's middle name... that also shows that the Military folks ( majority) would rather trust someone who hasent been to the Military over a P.O.W. i guess not showing up to vote several times & voting out of the 9 times agianst the Military interest he lost their support... & Cindy goes on the stump to say "it sent a chill down her spin, when Obama didnt want to fund her son", who by the way wasent over their during that vote & during the time her hubby voted the way Obama did....

    i guess when your trailing in the polls all you got to deal is LIES, & MORE EXAGGERATIONS !! Cindy & McCain /Palin are a book of feebles ...

    Republicans only like Latinos when they can take advantage of them such as election time. Latinos need to remember all the things this Republican administration and their cronies have done against Latinos. After opposing Latinos and everything related to Latino culture, Republicans are coming back to ask for the Latino vote as if we were stupid. How many Latino faces were at the Republican convention? How many Latinos were called to participate there? Self-respecting Latinos should not cast their vote for John McCain because in doing so they would be hurting themselves and their loved ones. A McCain administration would only make life miserable for Latino families and immigrants which are mostly Latinos.

    November 4 ... Intelligence Test for America

    Ignorance and Imbecility wil be defeated.

    Also Racism, Brutality, Smears, Bullies, Contempt of Others, Disrespect, etc ....

    Obama will win. Look at the bets and the Polls. McCain can only win with the Help of International Terrorists.

    The Obama Coalition is composed of Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Multiracials, Non Whites, and also White Youngsters and other General People with PHDs, Masters, BSs. Many other Obama voters are the intelligent, cultured and educated. These last are the ELITE.

    Imbecility will be the Great Loser on November 4. Also Racism, Macarthism, Guilt by Tenuous and Distant Association, Ignorance, Prejudice, etc ..

    The World will be saved from and old, tired and exhausted man. That is also full of anger, hate, hatred.

    An IRASCIBLE IMPETUOUS IRRATIONAL man. That has proved many times that he has uncontrolled rages.

    Obama is rational, intelligent, cool, gentleman, follows the high road, he seeks advice and makes only informed decisions. He confers and deliberates together with the BEST .....He will consult a lot with Joe Biden. The best possible advice for Foreign Policy.

    A New Era for America.

    Young Voters, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, ......

    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 traditional 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. The morals of our nation will continue to decline. Our children and grandchildren will pay the price.

    Beauty and the Beast unleashed their inner pit bulls and are attacking Obama with their same old tricks- character assassination, lies and distortion. But Joe Six Pack isn't fooled.

    This is a quote from foxnews.com:

    "The analysis also concluded that in the latest period, nearly 100 percent of the McCain's ads were negative, compared to 34 percent of Obama's ads."

    McCain has nothing good to say about himself. How pathetic.
