Pulling Away

Neither McCain or Palin is inciting racism or hatred among the GOP. There are extremists in most any gathering and who's to say that some of these people may not even be Obama supporters knowing how such angry comments will be viewed by the majority of voters and hurt the Republican party. We should stop looking at the crowd and look at the candidates and their records of who their associates are and have been.
Obama may be likable, but he has a record of voting to kill babies, friends who are anarchists, and spiritual leaders who hate America, and that means you and me.

JohnDough: Please tell me what laws passed by the democratic congress , in power since Jan 1, 2007 and signed by Bush, resulted in 5 items you listed. Please note the democratic congress could not reverse the Bush tax cuts let alone raise takes over republican senators power to block and Bush Veto. Same with stopping Iraq war and expense. Please note it was the Bush budgets -2001-8, plus tax cuts which created huge deficits. Please note Bush, friend of big oil, did nothing to get us off oil addiction and consequent greenhouse gases for 8 years resulting in huge profits for his big oil pals. Please no republicans, including McCain, were the party backing Wall Street regulation and the heads of Wall Street investment firms were all republican backers, including Hank Paulsen. (Check his Goldman Sachs bonuses). Bush the only president to cut taxes in war time and not to ask for sacrifice, instead saying, "go shopping". Please note the 1st rise in middle class income in 20 years under Clinton, stopped cold under Bush. Please not hoe the very rich got very much richer under Bush, hedge funds derivities etc.

PART 3:
You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much?

Read this:
Boy am I confused. I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us.
I hope the following 14 reasons are forwarded over and over again until they are read so many times that the reader gets sick of reading them. I have included the URL's for verification of all the following facts.

1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.
2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.
3 $2.5Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.
4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English!
5 $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.
6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.
7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.
8 $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare & social services by the American taxpayers.
9. $200 Billion Dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.
10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens. In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US
11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S from the Southern border.
12. The National Policy Institute, 'estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.'
13. In 2006 illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances back to their countries of origin.
14. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One Million Sex Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States.'
The total cost is a whopping $338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.

Are we THAT stupid?

I hope you forward this to every legal resident in the country including every representative in
Washington, D.C. - five times a week for as long as it takes to restore some semblance of intelligence in our policies and enforcement thereof.

My Fellow Americans....It's not Black or White....it's green and the voters know it. We cannot vote for Senator McCain who has changed...Unfortunately for the worse---His "Poor Judgement" with Charles Keating, his judgement when he left the campaign trail and did nothing.....when he arrived back in Washington, his party voted in the minority for the Wall Street Package, then blamed Senator Obama for not passing the bill; his allowing a negative campaign with negative ads and allowing ethnic/racial slurs at his rallys; his pick of Sarah Palin without vetting her properly, now she has made history as a candidate who "Abused power"; and most of all his 90-95% support of the Bush Administration policies and then he tried to disassociate his own record..........

He was an Attorney for acorn. Now when the 700 billion dollar Socialization program was voted in by the Democrats, 25% of that money was earmarked for Acorn. Wow he started the problem now he is going to be elected as president to fix the problem he Fuc*ed up in the first place. What a great Country Comrade.

why isnt the press reporting on his record in IL? why arent they reporting his connection to acorn? the press is electing him, people are being brainwashed

HEY guess what OBAMA was and is not an American citizen. All he has is a forged Document from HI.
Or was it Cananda. Phillip J. Berg has a lawsuit now pending against Obama.

Golly gee, all you repugnants need to get your facts straight. Barack Obama will be the next President , so just sit back and see our wonderful country return to prosperity, as well as our international stature repaired to the dominant world power we were. It really seems to me that those who yell the loudest are folks just hiding their rascism: knee-jerk response, so-called Christians/evangelicals, who seem to forget that our God considers us all as ONE race-- the HUMAN race. This man will be a wonderful leader. If you think he will fail, just remember the LAST EIGHT YEARS. Bush is a tough act to follow, but only because his clueless, crony-led administration managed to rape the economy. put us smack-dab into Iraq---all based on false informatiion that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Anyone with half a brain surely knows that Cheney and the other FatCat neocons have lined their pockets with billions of dollars pressing for more an more time and more and more money for Iraq, but really to go to Halliburton and Blackwater. And one more thing---John McCain is no war hero---as a "fighter pilot" in Vietnam he was mostly ordered to kill large numbers of children, women, and defenseless men---ordinary folks who had nothing to do with the war. WAKE UP PEOPLE, or eat your words one day soon.

The facts are simple. The democrats under Cris Dodd and Barney Frank caused this housing crisis, and now we are now going to put a socialist in office. Because Barrack HUSEIN Obama is black does this meas we can end the status quo. I now want my welfare check and free healthcare.

If Obama wins the real danger will be with his court appointments. My guess is he will nominate the usual democratic judge types: Pro Abortion, anti-capital punishment, pro pornography, pro homosexuality, pro criminal, anti-police, anti God and bench legislators, If the dems get 60 seats in the Senate America will become Amerika comrades. Obama.s associations clearly show his true character as a person. He spent 20 years in a church with a bigoted anti American pastor spewing hate, Louis Farraken an anti-sematic Al Queda Muslim supporting minister who hates America, a known terrorist in William Ayers, a known criminal in Rezko and a member and attorney for the largest voter fraud organizaton in America called ACORN. He of course has now distanced himself from all of them at least for the time being. If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is a duck.,

Check history , who was the sitting president every time this country has entered a recession? Then tell me which person should be elected!

Same dumba-- right-wing bigots. Why they can't realize that their hateful and dirty redneck way of doing things are over. Dosen't feel good bringing up the rear does it?

I think it is really sad the direction the McCain camp is going. I was watching a Martin Luther King Jr. documentary af few months ago. When Martin Luther King Jr. was advocating peaceful movements there were people who were linking him to radicals. Finally one crazy person took him out. This was a great person that changed our Nation. I see Obama as a man who wants to make that same change. However you still have ignorant evil vile people out there. I want a president who feels OUR pain, a guy that has 7 houses and a wife worth 100 million dollars doesn't feel our pain. McCain needs to continue to calm his crowds down because this is totally out of hand.

Obama's superior management skills bode well for the future of our economy.
Most of the rest of the world hopes we will elect him too. The whole world can't be wrong! And they're NOT all our enemies just coz they're foreigners. Sheesh... We used to have LOTS OF FANS around the world for the USA, but Bush sorta killed all that.

Wouldn't it be prudent to request or wait for more information on the first time senator? This is America, we don't just want any Tom, Dick or Hussein in the White House, right?

Your cover on Gov. Palin is really disturbing in that you chose to show her in a close-up and emphazised flaws in our face. Newsweek is such a disappointment. I used to read the publication but have become increasingly disturbed by your unprofessional and obvious bias for democrats. I know your sales have tanked of late and if you had a clue you'd stop letting your bias show. Obama won't win, no matter how much the liberal press (Newsweek included) tries to shove it (literally with the picture of Palin) in our face.
