    Rep. John Murtha (D. Pa.) calls his own constituents "racist" but says Obama will win anyway.
    What a great way to campaign.

    The world has gone crazy with over spending, credit cards, loans, living beyond our means. A lot of people seem to be blaming President Bush because they don't want to take the responsiblity themselves. Obama says he is gonna do some changing. He is not a saint by any means, he has snowed a lot of people. He has friends that are very questionable. Where is he getting his financial support from? Again questionable! In the Bible in Revelation it talks about the Anti-Christ and how he is going to snow everyone. That kind of change I can do without. We need to do a lot of soul searching before we make our decision on who we want in control of this wonderful USA. At least someone who loves the USA.

      What? The anti-Christ? Naw. Obama is actually Godzilla in disguise, and once elected, he'll shed his human skin and start tearing buildings down. No, seriously.

      WTF? Clinton? He's been out of office for almost 8 years.

      You're ADDICTED to the guy. Enough excuses. Your party had all 3 branches and buggered it up. Clean up your act and try again in 4 years.

    HI : I have never seen the USA election for president in such a mess!
    One candidate is to old and the other is to young and has many qustions about his past. If i were an American i would throw them both out and start over. It is very sad to see this when you had men like JFK,., FDR., LBJ and even Nixon was better the the clowns running now.

    • Posted By: Doc Howl @ 10/15/2008 1:17:22 PM

      Unfortunately, those two are the choices we have, the ones we chose in the primary.

      The fact that "if you were an American, you'd throw them out" is all very well and good, but we here have to abide by the will of the people (even when the people are dumb).

      That being said, I'm voting for the young guy, because any questions I have about his past are outweighed by the crazy old guy's lunatic behavior, and his fruitcake VP pick.

    "Press Releases

    AJC Strongly Condemns Rev. Jesse Jackson's Comment on American Jews
    October 14, 2008 - New York - The American Jewish Committee (AJC) has condemned the Rev. Jesse Jackson's statement about 'Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades.'
    "Rev. Jackson's remarks, which appeared in an interview with the journalist Amir Taheri in today's New York Post, echo classic anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about Jewish power," said AJC Executive Director David A. Harris. 'This statement, regrettably, is not the first troubling comment by Rev. Jackson regarding Israel, Zionism and the Jewish people.'

    Arguing as a private citizen that an Obama administration could bring significant change to U.S. foreign policy, Jackson was quoted as saying that "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" would lose much of their influence should Senator Obama be elected president."

    Obama Wants Your Guns
    If Barack Obama is elected President of the United States, he is going to send ugly, burly men to your house and confiscate your guns, which will be melted down and reformed into windmills. All civilian ammunition will be transferred to Yucca Mountain, to be stored with nuclear waste.

    Well, perhaps that???s a bit overstated, it being campaign season and all, but we need to get your attention. This is not overstated: If Barack Obama is elected President of the United States, he is going to be the most anti-gun President in recent memory, graded a big fat F by the National Rifle Association (NRA).

        • Posted By: marksgershenson @ 10/13/2008 11:45:19 PM

          McCain is a [Acorn Man] and other Republicans too !!!

          40% of Acorn's Registered Voters have been [Republicans]

          Hahahaha !!

          On Monday, the Democratic-leaning group ACORN, which has been painted as a criminal enterprise by the GOP for its voter registration and housing policy efforts, pushed back against its critics by producing a photo of John McCain attending its March 2006 rally.



          It was a reminder that, for all their electoral histrionics, Republicans have aligned themselves with ACORN in the past.

          Indeed, in addition to the McCain photo, there is a host of examples of prominent McCain surrogates attending ACORN events, signing ACORN legislation, or complimenting the group's efforts.

          Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, for example, partnered with ACORN in March 2008 for a "Homeownership Promotes The Economy" taskforce. More recently, Crist declared that -- contrary to GOP outrage -- he was not upset with the group's voter registration efforts in his state. The New York Times reported that ACORN supported a law signed by Governor Crist, which "changed the rules last year to restore the voting rights of about 112,000 former convicts."

          In July 2005, meanwhile, another Republican governor, Rick Perry of Texas, signed ACORN's Lending Law Reform Bill that changed the state's homelending practices.



          In July 2008, California Governor and McCain supporter Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill that ACORN helped draft aimed at California homeowners facing foreclosure.


          In June 2007, Minnesota Governor and McCain VP short-lister Tim Pawlenty signed a similar bill -- drafted by ACORN -- that helped homeowners get fairer deals on their mortgages.

          "The legislation was drafted according to recommendations made by a predatory lending study group established by Swanson prior to the legislative session," wrote the Northwestern Financial Review. "The study group contained representatives from the banking industry and the mortgage brokers association, as well as consumer advocates from organizations such as Illegal Aid and ACORN."

          As Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney signed an anti-predatory lending bill that ACORN supported. In February 2006, Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman met with the ACORN Katrina Survivors Association. And back in July 2005, New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg actually got a kiss from ACORN's state leader, according to the publication City Limits, during an announcement that the city would protect or create 65,000 affordable units in a new housing proposal. Bloomberg, it should be noted, has not endorsed a candidate.

    • Posted By: Pallisor @ 10/12/2008 8:18:37 PM

      The man she fired served her office at her pleasure. She had the right to do so.. The mistake she made was that this was also a family issue, and had it not been so we wouldn't be hearing about this.

      The trooper in question should have been fired without Palin's request... he had been arrested for drunk driving and had admittedly tasered a ten year old child. This behavior that would have gotten him fired at the very least at any other police department in America. But go ahead dems... milk it for all it's worth.

      • Posted By: neos @ 10/12/2008 9:26:32 PM

He is no saint and has some very questionable friends. And where he is getting is financial support is questionable to. So many people are snowed and I can't understand why.

  • Posted By: Morgan2008 @ 10/12/2008 8:16:33 PM

    Another poll is out and Obama is only a couple points ahead. Voter registration fraud is also being investigated in connection with Obama campaign and ACORN. You cannot believe in these polls. A lot of people are waking up and starting to realize that Obama will bring socialism to our country like Fidel Castro did to Cuba, and they don't want a socialist government. Prosperity declines under a socialiist government and individual freedoms decline. That is really "Big Brother is Watching You" government. I received an e-mail yesterday that said Barack Obama has admitted he has dual citizenship....This is something else voters should know before they go to the polls because that will make a big difference to many voters. I do not want a president who is a dual citizen. That is a lot like being married to someone who has another spouse. NOBAMA!!! NOBAMA!!! NOBAMA!!!!

    Was Obama born in Kenya?

    (Note: further down in this entry is the full story of the federal suit filed by Philip Berg, a Democrat and a former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, seeking an injunction to prevent the Democratic Party from nominating Obama for the presidency, on the basis that he is not a natural-born U.S. citizen.)
    (Also see, below, further information and reflections on Barack's mother Stanley Ann Dunham, the hippie avant la lettre.)

    Posted at Free Republic is the first plausible case I've seen that Barack Obama may not be a natural-born U.S. citizen, which under the Constitution would make him ineligible for the presidency. The charge consists of two elements: (1) He was not born in Hawaii, as he has claimed, but in Kenya. His mother and father were visiting Kenya, and she was unable to fly back to Hawaii for his birth because she was in an advanced stage of pregnancy. (2) U.S. law at the time said that a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and a non-citizen parent was a natural born U.S. citizen only if the citizen parent was at least 19 years of age. Ann Dunham Obama was 18 when her son was born. The article also says that Obama's Kenyan relatives, his paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister, have claimed that he was born in Kenya.

    If Barack was born in Kenya, that would explain the mystery of why his campaign has not published his birth certificate That's why I find this story plausible. (Or, rather, the birth certificate that has been presented as his has been said to be fraudulent--I have not followed the birth certificate story before today, except for hearing that there was a problem with his birth certificate that had not been satisfactorily resolved.).

    Philip Berg a member of the DNC and use to be an attorney general has tried suing Obama to release his birth certificate but to no avail. Democrats are very very sneaky and good at coering things up. Other members of the DNC want it to be hush-hush.
