    Obama sent 1 Million Dollars to his Muslim Radical cousin Raila Odinga who supports Sharia Law for Kenya. Obama belonged to a Church that made Anti Semite Louis Farrahkan its MAN of the Year. Obama has been endorsed by Hamas and Hezzbollah and Obama has shown a willingness to support the Palestinians over Israel. Jonathan you are a self hater. I wonder if your grandparents voted for Hitler,

    Turning left?!

    Imagine the scenario if Obama get elected and the following get enacted ..

    1) Resurrection of the ???fairness doctrine???.

    2) Giving the District of Columbia the right to vote in congress.

    3) Introduction of election-day voter registration.

    The Republicans would have a hard job getting their foot in the door again and the US would effectively have a one party system.

    Wake up people and stop trying to sell yourself and your country and rights for a monthly welfare check. It'll only get you a socialist government who will be forcing you to do as they say or you will not eat. Wake up before it's too late. No Obama. Vote for McCain/Palin.

    I didn't see Sarah on any of the morning news shows,you know the ones where CREDIBLE candidates appear like Face the Nation and Meet the Press. Has she withdrawn from the race?

    Oh, yes, and wasn't Colin Powell's endorsement of Senator Obama stunning?

    Comment: from tiny ACORNS grow huge FRAUDS....

    Why is Barack Obama giving ACORN $832,000 when it is a tax dead beat? (Hat tip to an intrepid NoQuarter reader.) Before Obama and Biden cast any more stones at poor Joe the Plumber for a $1200 tax lien, they might want to insist that their buddies at ACORN pony up the HALF-MILLION DOLLARS they owe the Federal Government. That???s right boys and girls, according to Louisiana State financial records, ACORN is a mega deadbeat:

    INITIAL AMOUNT: $547,312
    INITIAL DOCKET #: 424212708
    AMOUNT: $547,312
    FILING DATE: 03/10/2008

      I personally could care less if Obama pays off Acorn's debt and invests some of his campaign money in it. I haven't been convinced that their so-called "fraud" isn't just a combination of not having their act together compared with a lot of media hype and a need for McCain to try to cast Obama as a villain due to his polls slipping.

      Plus, compared to Obama's war chest, the figures you're describing are pretty minor.. I gave him some - so did millions of people completely voluntarily - and if he's elected, God willing, I'll actually be able to consider paying my taxes the same way I did giving him campaign contributions. It'll be a lot more pleasurable than paying taxes to Bush and being forced to subsidize the Iraq War, which made me sick to my heart.

        "so called" fraud? Acorn has been caught in 20 states for voter fraud trying in one way or another to stuff the ballot box with democrat votes.

        Hardly in the realm of "so called" fraud.

        • Posted By: cinesimon @ 10/19/2008 8:20:44 AM

          NO FRAUD AT ALL.
          Acorn is legally required to hand in EVERY SINGLE FORM that they are given.
          You people who think it's fraud have bought what the Michael Savages of the world are spewing!
          They also make death threats and spread racial hatred - do you people believe in that too?
          Acorn even sort out for the authorities what they believe to be garbage applications and legitimate ones. The ones they have said are legitimate are not being questioned.
          The only reason the FBI is looking into this, is that they are legally required to when asked by a member of congess - who's gonna guess who made the complaint? Couldn't be a McCain supporter could it?

          More of the same old crap, and very easy to see through.

          Get your facts right, do some proper research before belching out your lies

            You sound upset... I would be too if I were trying to cover up something as obvious as Acorn voter fraud and it wasn't working.

            No fraud at all??? LMAO! Are you completely blind? Of course Acorn is going to hand in every registration they receive... it's exactly why the Acorn staff have been handing in tons of phoney registrations for the democrats almost everywhere in America! And gee whiz... not a one of them have been for the republicans!

            They've been caught in 20 states, and are under investigation in many others. You might want to pull your King Size blinders off your face and look at the truth before you call someone a liar. That way, you won't repeat the same mistake of making yourself look like a complete jackass as you have here.

        Theres very little media hype involved in the Ayres/ACORN matter! The major news people are trying to subdue this matter! And and the expence of their own credibility.
        ACORN has morphed from an old gang of marxist street thugs who did bombing to become significant, as they were a bunch of rich , dumb, white college kids! they bombed, did bank robbery and prison break outs , to Bring The War Home, as they called it!
        And to take over the Students for a Democratic Society! Now it's involvment with the nations financial scandal and voter fraud on mass scale that is their MO.
        There's no media hype.. as it's a story the media prefers to never cover. it has nothing to do with Mccains standing i the polls as it is an enduring true history!

      So Mr/Mrs. Roller, why do you say Allah Akbar Ya'll Nobama? Are you a bigot, or an a$$ho!e? Did you take a lesson in Arabic? You sound like a total jerk when you post that. Are you the woman who was at McCain's rally and asked if Obama was an Arab? Makes sense to me if you were the woman.

      Acorn is also patronized by the Republican party for your information. Perhaps you enjoy riding a camel in the sand, because that is where your head is at now.

    Cannot wait to see the biased liberal media's faces on election night when McCain/Palin take the election because the people have duped the media and their polls when they called us. Watching and waiting for the punchline...our dvr's are ready.

  • Posted By: URDuped @ 10/19/2008 1:54:18 PM

    Can't wait to see the faces of these liberal media people when McCain wins this election. The media are about to find out how stupid they and their polls are when they find out they have been duped by the people they call on their polls.

  • Posted By: Pocolodi @ 10/19/2008 1:42:44 PM

    You have a link for that 80K thing? And registering the homeless isn't legal... you can't vote if you don't have an address.... then there's the matter giving them money and cigarettes to vote democrat (never republican!). And by the way, requiring people to identify themselves is not voter suppression.

    But you go ahead and minimize Acorn's voter fraud all you want.

  • Posted By: joeneuf @ 10/19/2008 1:15:16 PM

    I am not with the current trends in that I am an independent who intended to vote for Obama but now have switched to McCain. There are many reasons I would like to vote for Obama but the fundamental issue that will prevent that is the core belief of Obama and much of the Democratic party in the necessity for the forced redistribution of wealth. I disagree that the fall of Communism has made socialism irrelevant. Democrats would like us to be like Europe and Canada. I was born and raised in Canada by socialist parents whom I love dearly, as I love Canada. But redistribution does not work in any sector. It creates negative incentives and behaviours that hurt everybody. My Dad embraced socialism from a Christian perspective - living the words of Christ. But free will and the importance of individuals exchanging with their fellows, giving in balance with receiving, is vital to the health of our society. The greed of CEO's is not forgiven but what will create more abundance and more opportunity for everybody? Democrats like to demonize big business. Their measures hurt all business. I want America to be America - respectful of other cultures (which we have not been) but still, America, the land of opportunity.

    More smears? OF the 800,000 about 80,000 went to ACORN for voter registration efforts. Did some of the homeless employed by ACORN fill out false forms. It appears so. Despicable. This is called voter registration fraud, and not voter fraud. Huge difference. Voter fraud is as bad as voter supression.
    Bottom line, some lazy irresponsible people seem to have cheated and filled out some forms with bogus names. No one is or should defend these illegal actions. But to somehow insinuate that the Obama campaign was in any way orchestrating these efforts is of course slanderous and stupid.
    Let me give a simple analogy for the benefit of those of you who are on FOX. If I give the neighbor's kid five bucks to pick up a bag of apples and he decides to shoplift the apples and pocket the fiver, how am i to blame? Of course, Rush and Sean would 'report' the disjointed facts of my giving the kid five bucks and the act of shoplifting and try to connect the two with sleazy innuendo and ZERO proof, that's what they do. It is up to the thinking public to see this for what it is, yet another desperate another smear and distraction.

    Perhaps 911 has faded into the horizon of the left wing in our country but Islamic terrorists are not giving up on their desire to destroy us.

    McCain wants to defeat them, Obama wants to negotiate with them. If your head is in the clouds and you truly believe we can negotiate with people who fly airplanes into buildings, send suicide bombers into busses, restaurants, and supermarkets to murder innocent men, women, and children in Israel and fifteen other countries since our 911, then vote for Obama. If you believe that terrorism, in all its forms, must be defeated then vote for McCain.

    In a time of war, terror, and evil I choose the most experienced candidate, not the one I think is a "cool dude" but has zero experience.

    Hey folks:

    Just because someone says something here does NOT MAKE IT TRUE.

    The McCain campaign is in desperation mode now and will say just about anything to try to dupe the people with FEAR.

    Just remember what The McCain campaign Rick Davis says. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS TRUE IF IT WORKS.

    At this stage of the game, you would be wise to:

    CHECK IT OUT FOR YOURSELF SO YOU DECIDE ON TRUTH INSTEAD OF FALSEHOODS


    And Palins executive experience?

    I have foreign policy experience because I can see Russia from Alaska?

    Based on this real statement by Palin, only an idiot would say she is qualified for VP.

Hey, is Ron Paul still in the race? Both of these candidates suck... I wrote my congressman and said NO (along with 85% of Americans) to the bail-out heist, she voted YES, then wrote me a long letter stating I am too stupid to understand, and she did it for my own good.

    The bottom line is that political affiliation is a pretty stable trait in adults. Young conservatives age into old conservatives. Young liberals age into old liberals. Once this election is over, check out the demographic distribution of votes among the different age groups. In the most recent poll, McCain only led among 30-44 year olds, the age group that became politically aware in the Reagan era. He was only just behind in the 60+ group, who were distributed over a broad time frame from WWII to Vietnam era in coming of age, so you've a mixed group. The 45-59 group goes strongly for Obama, and they became aware during the Nixon debacle. The young people <30 are the most skewed of all, over 2:1 for Obama. So, with these numbers coming into the voting population while the older more 1:1 departing, the trend is toward a more liberal country over time.

  • Posted By: Jim Johnson @ 10/18/2008 9:53:00 PM

    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."

    • Posted By: Nins @ 10/18/2008 10:03:27 PM

      Jim, as usual you are trying to twist a fact to make it mean something different.

      Your quotes from Obama's books are more or less accurate, but they are taken completely out of context. In Dreams from my Father, Obama writes at length about how he went through an adolescent period of rebellion and identity crisis. He spent some time identifying with his black heritage and feeling how victimized blacks have been. If you read the whole book, you will see how he realized that it was immature for him to stay stuck in these feelings. He realized that he needed to do something constructive, rather than complain about other people being destructive. And he needed to see both sides of the story, both black and white, since he is both black and white. Actually, Jim, you could take a lesson from that and learn how to be more objective.

      You quote from Audacity of Hope is taken from a speech Obama gave after 9/11. He said that if the US government starts rounding up Muslims without cause and without giving them due process of law, that he would stand up for the Muslims rather than just watch our government put them in prison camps like we did to the Japanese Americans in WWII. In fact, the Bush administration created it's own internment camp and called it Guantanamo Bay. While there are certainly many guilty terrorists held in Guantanamo, there are also many innocent American citizens who have been held illegally for years without even being charged with any crime. They have been tortured by our government. Some of them have died.

      Recently the Supreme Court ruled against the Bush administration in the matter of Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court Justices were NOT on the side of the terrorists. They were on the side of the Geneva Convention, that says you can not torture POWs, and on the side of US laws that state you can not imprison a person without charging them with a crime and bringing them to trial. I'm sure that like most Americans, the Justices who voted against the illegal, immoral doings at Guantanamo did not feel sympathy for the terrorists. They felt sympathy for the laws of AMERICA, the land of the FREE, where even rat finks get a fair trial.

      One of the things that makes America GREAT is Freedom of Speech and Freedom of the Press. Your blog implies that if McCain wins the Presidency, Obama's books will be banned from public libraries. Heaven helps us! If this is true, it would be one heck of a reason to vote against McCain. Come to think of it, Sarah Palin tried to ban books from the Wasilla Public Library, and fired the Head Librarian when she refused to comply. Maybe it is true.

      God save us from small minded people like you, Jim Johnson.

  • Posted By: Jim Johnson @ 10/18/2008 9:52:29 PM

    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. [What about the role of luck­being in the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time? R. R. Pope}

    • Posted By: Nins @ 10/18/2008 10:02:49 PM

      Jim Johnson, no matter how many times people tell you that Obama is against socialism, you keep posting these blogs that accuse Obama of socialism and communism. It is not true and you know it. You are just trying to smear Obama and make people afraid.

      In his book Audacity of Hope, Obama writes at length about the FAILURE of SOCIALISM and the failure of communism. He enthusiastically states that American democracy is the greatest political system on earth. Obama is not a socialist, and he does not admire socialism.

      You need to recognize that all democracies socialize certain functions: police, fire fighting, military, roads, public schools, sewers, water. This is for the greater good and we all accept it. It does not make us socialists.
