    I have always believed that birds of a feather will always flock together and if you CANNOT trust one of them, you can't trust any of them.

    We all select our friends and associates by their character. If we do not agree with their character and how they lead their lives, then we will NOT accept them as our friends. I, personally, would never associate with anyone that was involved in any kind of criminal activities or racial activities, or involved in any kind of demonstrations against the country which I love with all my heart. I have too much self respect and pride to associate with these types of lowlife trash.

    But, for some reason, we CANNOT and will NOT hold our President to these same standards and good judgement. It seems that a president who has 'no sex' with a young intern in our Oval Ofiice is beyond scrutiny and is still considered to be a GREAT president. It doesn't matter that his actions destroyed the view of the office of the presidency in the eyes of our friends around the world and destroyed the morals of all of our young people. The character of a president is just not important to the American people any longer.

    Promises of 'hope and change' and empty rhetoric has replaced the need of a presidential candidate to have good judgemnet and good character. As long as they are shrewd enough to 'look presidential' and said what the POOR STUPID Americans want to hear, that is all that is important. The American people no longer need evidence, REAL evidence, that a candidate is capable of fulfilling his promises and is capable of protecting and serving the people. Talk is cheap, but the right talk has proven to be all that is required by the American people. Judgement, character, and experience is no longer required.

    I have always believed that birds of a feather will always flock together and if you CANNOT trust one of them, you can't trust any of them. The American voter is willing to accept Obama at face value, without thoroughly researching his background. I would like to know how many Americans are willing to send our young men and women into combat overseas to fight terrorists, and, at the same time, are willing to accept a president who has been friends with domestic terrorists for years, and a president who is supported by Hamas and many, many other radical groups and leaders from around the world.

    Just keep in mind that Obama would never be accepted in the FBI or CIA, but the American voters would elect him as their president and Commander-in-chief of their brave military men and women!!!! May God bless and have mercy on the souls of all the misguided voters!!!!

    Obama explains his objection to our National Anthem and Flag!!

    Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

    According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171, During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.

    "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides,' Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the Anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it.'

    WHAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president. I, for once, am speechless.

    He better take sides..........if he is not on the side of AMERICA he MUST NOT EVEN BE CONSIDERED for the office he is seeking. We do not need a man in office that will not salute the flag. The world knows how to sing, what they need to know is that the USA will defend what that flag stands for.

    McShame allowed and encouraged Palin's misminded accusations against Obama's personal associations to the extent his own rallies cry out ugly, threatening actions against his leading rival Democrat. DISHONOR, McShame! And because what goes around, comes around, Palin is getting her rightful comeupance, newsworthy Troopergate inquiry results, which McShame tried to manipulate the timing of the results. DISHONOR, McShame! McShame and McBooboo. are no team to lead this nation!!!

    OBAMA: THE AFFIRMATIVE ACTIONS CANDIDATE!

    NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY HAS A PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BEEN GIVEN SUCH A FREE PASS BY THE PRESS AND JUST ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE!

    I AM WAITING FOR A BLACK PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO MAKE IT ON HIS OWN MERIT.

    Lou Dobbs reports on ACORN corruption and ties to Obama, including Obama Campaign paying ACORN $800,000 for voter registration activities.

      Remember peace and prosperity? We had it under the hateful Clinton, democratic presidency. God forbid we should have such dark times again! The republicans could figure out a way to blame the bad weather on him.

  • Posted By: tc125231 @ 10/10/2008 7:14:50 PM

    As far as I can tell, "Nowforthetruth" has no interest in the truth. He is a 7x24 apologist for anything bad any Republican does. If McCain behaves badly --and he has --he tells me about ACORN. Whether or not this is true --and it is hardly proven --can he say McCain's opponent personally authorized it?

    No, I didn't think so. Typical. Sarah Palin rejects discussing the past, chiding Joe Biden for actually being interested in the facts, and then mis-represents Obama's contact --originally engendered by a conservative foundation -- with William Ayers. Ayers crimes were probably real --however, the case was thrown out due to illegal acts authorized by Republican Attorny General John Mitchell.

    The thing about this whole "values" crowd is they like to talk the talk, but NEVER walk the walk. Do they take any responsibility for the fact endless defecits of their tenure, or for implementing policies that left the U.S. owing $5,000 for every man woman and child in the country to China.

    No, they just look for somebody to scapegoat for their own mistake.

    They have no willingness to be accountable for their actions.

    Lots of luck to them in the next life.

      ACORN is all over the news, if you would look, for registering "homeless", "junkies" and the "dead".
      Nevada, Missouri, Ohio and lots of other state are reporting VOTER FRAUD!!
      Obama was their attorney nearly 20 years ago.

    Did anyone notice during the last debate that the empty suite called Bobama does not know the difference between a computer and the Internet.
    He mentioned computers and than hesitated for a minute, he was lost, than he mentioned computers and the military. In reality he was referring to the ARPAnet which was the precursor of the Internet.
    It is strange that someone in his age group does not KNOW the difference between the two.
    It is not surprizing to me. He is a product of the left and the Harvard school of Law, which produces people who can recite case law, but are ignorant about anything else.!!!!!
    Do you want such an ignorant Marxist to be your president?????

    As i was watching the people file into McCain's townhall meeting it occured to me that these people look more like a MOB than just supporters. Just listen to the things they were yelling. All that was missing were the KKK hoods. If, God forbid, anything happens to Obama, McCain and Palin have blood on their hands. Sadly, even though he finally admitted that Obama was not to be feared, these people were so fired up, they didn't want to hear it. Then they actually booed him! Sure, he finally did the honorable thing, but what took him so long? it's not as if the truth suddenly dawned on him. Face it,, he painted himself into a corner and although I think he was sincere, it's too little too late. This campaign is aiming for the "low imformation" voters. They don't require facts or issues, just sound bites and innuendo. Do the people who asked the questions even know that they were shot down by their own candidate?

    By the looks of it, "elitist" means having more than two teeth in your head and more than an eighth grade education.

    Now that McCain/ Palin have this ball rolling, It's doubtful that they can stop it. It''ll be very interesting to see if McCain addresses this to Obama"s face at the next debate. He is owed an face to face apology.

    Now, it's Palin's turn to correct the record in public.. Actually, I think she is more stubborn and hardcore than her boss. She ,like Bush, doesn't back down. Not always a good trait.

    Eleanor says "It is his core value. His confidence in his own integrity allows him to do things that are..." and I agree. However McCain has proved during this campaign that his core values are someplace short of core.
    McCain campaigned for 35 uyeras to stamp out torture under any circumstances, under any guise. Earlier this year while courting Conservative voters, who approve of torturing other humans. He voted against a bill that would have banned torture for operatives of the US Government. Considering he was tortured and his previous stance on torture I have to conclude he either did it to pander to the wacky right or did it to pander for their votes. Either way it shows exactly what type on man McCain is, and what he himself thinks of his "core" values.

    It is less than interesting that the partisan Clift,does not bother to mention that Obama accepted 125,000$ from Jack Abramoffs firm GREENBURG-TAURIG and then keep it,as did Sen.and Majority Leader Harry Reid.[D-Nv]

    NEWSWEAK ,should know better than engaging in this crap for as we already know,their ideal is to place a Democrat president operating with a Democrat Congress. All well and good,but they have the responsibility to report the news. Not their personal agendas.

    For what Clift did not bother to mention,and the amount of money both Obama and Reid made from Jack Abramoff,go here. Not NEWSWEAK.

    The Center For Responsive Politics www.opensecrets.org [insert:Obama,Barack and Reid,Harry].

    We will add as a postscript that todays Chicago Sun -Times observes a deal made between Tony Rezko and federal prosecutors that will involve Obama. Whether or not mere hacks like the partisan Clift remark on such developments as they occur depends entirely upon this womans integrity and her journalistic honesty. While fed up with McCain and Palin,I am even more angered at Obamas sychophantic press,especially NEWSWEAK,which will be continued to be observed even well within an Obama presidency for their charge to the American people to provide unbiased news. Thus far,they have beeen proven to be a disgrace, causing even liberal journalistic giant E.J.Dionne to remark today on the equally liberal National Public Radio,that the ''gulf''between Americans will worsen.

    Uhh.Eleanor. When you party at Quinns pad in celebration of the Expected Ones victory,do you take your BOONES FARM Strawberry on the rocks,or straight up?

    Obama was a disaster in every place he served as a community organizer, look at his neighborhoods in Chicago, according to his own writings: The Crime rate went up, the murder rate went up, drug use went up, the out of wedlock birthrate went up, gang fighting and murders went up, the abortion rate went up, prostitution went up, educational achievements went down, welfare rate went up, this is what he wants to deliver to the rest of the USA.
    What a ???success??? story, he and his fellow Chicago gangsters want to bring the same achievements to the rest of the USA.
