    Who is bested suited to lead in these difficult times? The two candidates have had to deal with both a major presidential level decision and a global crisis in the past couple months.

    We just witnessed as good a side by side crisis test as you could ask for. Both candidates had to respond to the global financial meltdown, which John's campaign manager Rick Davis called "the worst financial crisis in our nation's history." It was John McCain who was late to recognize what was happening and then couldn't figure out how to respond. He made a dramatic show of suspending his campaign because he knew he needed to seize the initiative politically, but then didn't seem to have any coherent position once he took charge. It doesn't inspire confidence when you say you're going to do something and then back down within days.

    On the critical matter of selecting a VP who would step into the Presidency in an emergency, John McCain gives us an unintelligent mediocrity without knowledge or experience in national and international issues. Palin clearly was chosen to fire up the religious right base, but she has little appeal to the vast swath of America. Obama's VP pick is Sentor Joe Biden, who clearly has foreign policy chops and could legitimately step into the Oval Office should the need arise.

    John's horrendous POW experience did nothing to prepare him for the job of president. A captive soldier must cope with a situation in which he has no control and can decide nothing. A President of the United States must make good decisions over and over again. Barack Obama has demonstrated the intelligence, calmness and good judgment we so desperately need in a leader for these troubled times. He has been tested repeatedly in this marathon campaign and he has risen to meet every challenge, sticking to his message of hope and change, and not falling into the low-life mud slinging we have seen from McCain.

    Obama has better judgement, better temperament, better manners and better ideas that John McCain. I'm a middle-aged white female Christian Republican, and I am voting for Barack Obama.

    In this video, Obama, who claims he has "no ties with Acorn" notwithstanding the $800,000 paid to an Acorn group during the primaries, is campaigning at a convention of Acorn and I believe two other Community Activist's organizations. Ask if he will be their ally if he becomes President and pledge to meet with leaders of Acorn and the others in his first year, Obama says, quote:

    "Yes, but let me say that before I even get inaugurated, during the transition, we are going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda."

    See and hear it for yourself. Obama promised that Acorn and a couple of other groups like it will setting his agenda if elected even before he is inaugurated:

      First, Acorn was not paid anything by the Obama campaign. The campaign paid $872,000 to a different organization, and that organization sub-contacted some work to Acorn and paid Acorn $80,000. You know this already, NFFT, yet you still lie and say Acorn got $800,000 (which is the wrong number in any case).

      Second, John McCain was the guest of honor speaking at two Acorn rallies in 2006. John McCain has used Acorn to register Hispanic Republicans. If you want to play guilt by association, then John is guilty too. Personally, I think that NONE of them are guilty (not Acorn, McCain or Obama).

      Third, I think that you are a skunk, NFFT, and here's why. You are an intelligent person and you know what is true in these cases, but still you post these misleading lies.

      I think it is great that you support McCain. How about if you use your talents telling us the TRUTH about how you think McCain is the best candidate? Could you write blogs about McCain's policies, and why you think are better than Obama's? You are smart enough to do this. If you don't do it, I and the other people on this blog site will consider you a liar and a loser, a force of negative energy who can't even say anything good about his own candidate.

    With polls showing a tightening race for the White House, it looks like the Catholic vote again may be crucial to the outcome.
    And an Oct. 23 poll records a startling 20-point swing this week among Catholic voters in favor of John McCain.
    The IBD/TIPP daily tracking poll found Republican candidate McCain ahead of Democratic presidential candidate 48%-39% among the Catholics in its survey.
    The shift was part of a strong overall swing toward McCain in the IBD/TIPP poll.
    ???McCain has cut into Obama???s lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday,??? a press release stated. ???The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point de???cit to a 9-point lead among Catholics.???

    2001 Chicago Public Citizen Radio Interview criticizing the Warren Court as not radical enough for not pursuing redistribution of wealth.

    Says that community organizing is for the purpose of assembling the political power to force redistribution of wealth.

    • Posted By: Nins @ 10/27/2008 8:23:28 PM

      NowfortheTruth asserts that the goal of community organizing is to "redistribute wealth."

      The real goal of community organizing is to assemble political power for those who historically have had none: the poor and minorities. Some community organizations exist to redress the fact that white banks have refused to loan money to black clients. If you want to call this "redistribution of wealth," go right ahead. The rest us will continue to call it racism.

      And when it comes to discussing "redistribution of wealth" and calling Obama a socialist, it is time for you to rethink that strategy. You might be stepping into a huge pile of dog doo-doo, Now fortheTruth.

      Did you see McCain on Meet the Press this Sunday? Tom Brokaw played two clips from 2001 and 2003 when McCain was against the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. McCain sings the praises of "redistribution of wealth" and says "wealthy people can afford more taxes."

      When McCain opposed the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, he said that he was taking a "principled stance." But when Obama opposes these same tax cuts, McCain labels Obama as a "socialist." Nice double standard, John.

      The doo-doo gets deeper, Now for the Dog Stuff on my Hoof.

    Obama has 63 Nobel Laureates working on his policy team. They are developing a plan to push America back to the top. Who is responsible for McCain's planning? Americans would be shocked to find that Douglas Holtz-Eakin is the sole person responsible for planning McCain's policy for America's future. Holtz-Eakin is also McCain's economic advisor, filling two full time positions on McCain's team. How can one single man (an economist) be responsible for developing a viable technology plan for our future? Obama has an enormous pool of the most intelligent, talented men and women in America working for him. Soon, they will be working for US.

    And let's not forget that the McCain campaign spent more on Palin's makeup artist than it did on it's foreign policy advisor. When you pay your makeup artist DOUBLE what you pay your foreign policy advisor, it is time to start examining your priorities.

    You look just fine without makeup, John. And Sarah is young enough not to need any. So cut the crap, and start paying some good ECONOMIC ADVISORS so you can have a fiscal plan to present to America. We're in the middle of a huge global financial meltdown, and you are worried about hair and makeup? PLEASE start worrying about the middle class, John. Please.

    Comment: Obama was not even in the Senate to vote for or against the enforcement of the First Gulf War Treaty____This brings absolutely nothing to the table!

    This Enforcement is the lowest cost compared to all American Wars__less than 1.5% GDP__Vietnam 14% and WWII 26%_____Tell this to the hundreds of thousands of causualties-/dead. And tell this to the million refugees that have lost their homes and families!

    Obama's comments are a unilateral OPINION of which it took all of the House & Senate to aggree to__?___

    95% of all Democrats were for removing Hussein during the Clinton Office__They didnt go into an arbitrary war based on subversion and duplicity- your neocon politicians did!


    Obama said this 'WAR' has been lost along with Reid___Shows Prior delusions & novice IGNROANCE in Foreign Affairs let alone Judicial_- are you saying the war is won? Which one Iraq or Afghanistan?

    Obama has voted 95% of his REAL time with Ayers
    McCain voted for a war based on sunversion and duplicity! He has voted for deregulation for over 26 years!

    The war should have never taken place... how long do you intend on keeping the troops there, which war Iraq or Afgahistan?


    More deaths in OBAMA???S own backyard of Chicago than in Iraq.

    Maybe you should contact the NRA about how easy it is to get guns into Americans hands!
    Over 1600 16 year old ar killed every year in auto accidents- over half of people who die accidentely in hospitals can be prevented! etc etc etc. Where are you from- Ill bet there are alot of killing there too- once again you should write a letter to the NRA- I have.

    Article Excerpt:

    'Secret Progressive Movement'

    This is just the beginning of a nefarious 'Secret Progressive Movement' by Liberal Elitists to divide and/or fracture Christian Unity and ultimately DIVIDE America as a whole. These self-proclaimed PROGRESSIVE THINKERS truly believe that they are the enlightened ones and that "we" conservative/traditionalist are just a bunch of old and out-of-touch dinosaurs. NOT!
    I absolutely refuse to let these ELITISTS silence me. Or tell me how to think! Please do not let these folks play you. In other words, try to make you feel guilty about standing up for your beliefs i.e., TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE, etc!

    PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT ??? Currently there's a STRONG push by the mainstream media toward "PROGRESSIVE" views and/or ideologies. It's all part of the brainwashing game. The Progressives are flooding the newspapers, TV and radio airwaves with dangerous, yet very effective propaganda. They mix truths with lies, good with bad, prey on the weak and/or ignorant. Their main goal or objective is to throw enough WEDGE ISSUES at us so as to divide this great nation. It???s the ol' 'Divide and Conquer' (D & C) game. Now that OB has secured the Democratic Nomination, trust me, the ol' D & C game will begin:

    • Posted By: Concerned Ctzn @ 10/25/2008 6:14:08 PM

      Pro Life vs. Pro Choice
      Pro Immigration vs. Anti-Immigration
      Gay/Lesbian Rights vs. Religious Zealots
      Rich against the Poor & Middleclass
      Socialism vs. Capitalism
      Universal Healthcare vs. I Don't Know Status Quo
      Higher taxes vs. lower taxes, etc ...

      You get the picture!

      CHANGE OF CULTURE ??? God forbid, if OB should take office, standby for a subtle movement to destroy good old fashion family ties and values. Sure, OB will pretend he's all about unity, but behind close doors things will be TOTALLY DIFFERENT.

      As a Christian/Catholic, it actually hurts me to even say this, but just like W exploited Christianity to get elected, OB is going to do the EXACT OPPOSITE TO GET ELECTED.

      • Posted By: Concerned Ctzn @ 10/25/2008 6:19:41 PM

        In other words, it's time to 'villainize' the Christian Coalition. But do so in a very sly and discreet manner. Behind the scenes the Progressive Movement is pushing atheism, agnosticism, separatism, alternative lifestyles, and is slowly, but surely chipping away at good old fashion family values. Personally, I could careless about the alternative lifestyle thing. However! As a Christian Nation, we have to think about the overall message that we're sending our youth. To me, taking the "I don???t give a SH!T" attitude about all this stuff is taking the easy way out. Again! We have to think about our youth---NOT JUST OURSELVES!

        In a nutshell, here's the Progressive Message that's being secretly pushed or circulated:

        "Christian Radicals are no different than Islamic Radicals"

        I listen to a lot of talk shows???left, right, liberal, conservative???and this is the recurring message that I'm hearing more and more of each day. Granted most of time it's done in a more subtle tone, but on occasion they come straight out and make blatant statements such as the one above. Kid you not!

        • Posted By: Concerned Ctzn @ 10/25/2008 6:24:05 PM

          Personally, I don't think that religion should have an OFFICIAL ROLE in politics. As we all know, it actually states that in our constitution: Separation of Church and State ...

          But the truth is, even in this day and age, it still does play a major role on how people ultimately vote.

          THAT'S WHY WE HAVE ORGANIZATIONS LIKE THE 'PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT' SECRETLY ATTACKING THE POWER SOURCE--CHRISTIANITY!

          Actually, the attacks are both direct and indirect: Sometimes "THEY" are the ones that are actually pushing the buttons; other times they persuade and/or brainwash others to do their dirty work:

          PAST HEADLINES:

          2 dead, 2 hurt in Colo. Christian dorm shooting
          Police still searching for gunman when second attack occurs 70 miles away
          A gunman walked into a training center dormitory for young Christian missionaries early Sunday and opened fire, killing two of the center's staff members and wounding two others.

          And another thing, because I sure don't want to 'silence you'! How exactly is Obama going to 'break up the old fashioned family unit and values'? Is he going to pass a mandatory law that everyone has to live in a one-room apartment by themselves??? What would be the advantage to that for him? or for anyone? the resason the country was so productive in the 50's and 60's was because of the strong family units that were predominant. No one would dispute tthat. But blaming Liberals for the break down of the family is just ludicrous. Are you saying conservatives never get a divorce? I'm just curious if you really believe this stuff or are you simply regurgitating it from somewhere else...

    This is real simple economics. How many full-time employees with benefits does a person with a $50,000 income personally employ? For most, none. How many does a person with $250,000 employ? One less under Obama's tax plan, two less if you include Obama's health plan.

    There hasn't been a Democrat majority in Washington since 1965, and before that, 1933. It looks like we are about to see another such event take place. By November 5, 2008 both houses of Congress and the Presidency will be in Democratic hands.

    For those readers who can think for themselves, think back to 1965. Kennedy and the Civil Rights movement. A pivotal time in our history, one we can all be proud of. And 1933, when FDR gave us the New Deal and turned around the Great Depression. If you think about the past century, the only two times that we have had a liberal Democrat majority, America got STRONGER and BETTER.

      No worries Nins, the Dems got this election pretty much wrapped up. With all the voter fraud going on and the discreet rumor that the Electorate has been strong-armed and/or bought off, heck, the game was over B4 it started. Sheesh! Sad. Sad. Sad!

      We're looking at the EXACT REVERSE SITU' of what happened in 2000. You remember folks! When W & Co. stole the W.H. from Gore. Yup! As we all know, Gore won the Pop-Vote fair & square, yet the Electoral College (EC) ultimately crowned W the winner. I'm not gonna lie, I voted for W the first time around---not second time though---but fair is fair. Gore got robbed! Well ... I guess it's payback time huh?

      Moral of the story: APPARENTLY, IN THE DARK WORLD OF POLITICS, TWO WRONG DO MAKE A RIGHT.

      Pathetic!!!!

      There's only one thing that can possible alter this FIXED ELECTION. Big number turnout (voters) for McCain/Palin! This is a direct call to all Conservatives, Traditionalist, Independents, Realist, Christians, etc, to vote in record numbers this year for the MAVERICK TEAM! As a united front, we need to put extreme pressure on the EC so that they just can't dismiss the Popular Vote like they did in 2000. John McCain needs every moderate and conservative vote out there in order to pull off an upset over this RIGGED ELECTION!

    Obama's ill-conceived programs will require him to tax, and his health care plan alone is a substantial hidden tax on all business, large an small. In reality, it does not really matter who he taxes, those taxes are going to be passed through the economy. He has to tax, because it is they only way he can pay for his massive social engineering experiments. Any first year economics student knows that taxation is a tool used to contract an economy experiencing inflation, because it reduces demand by reducing the amount of money individuals and businesses have to spend. It is contractionary, which is exactly what you do not want to do when the problem is that the economy is contracting already into recession. Like Hoover and FDR, Obama's plans will only make it worse for longer.

    See e.g. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/10/03/opinion/main4499465.shtml
    And
    http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/FDR-s-Policies-Prolonged-Depression-5409.aspx

    How many full-time employees with benefits does a person with a $50,000 income personally employ? For most, none. How many does a person with $250,000 employ? One less under Obama???s tax plan, two less if you include Obama???s health plan.



  • Posted By: Nowforthetruth @ 10/26/2008 4:19:00 PM



    What do you really know about Obama's economic philosophy? Since he has never run a town, state or business, he has no record to look at. Oh, he has made lots of promises, but given that he broke his promise to be limited to public campaign funds, you cant put much faith in that, and there will be no means to keep those promises anyway.

    But you do know that Obama, along with his democratic buddies in Congress, personally and professionally advocated for a residential housing policy favoring forced sub-prime lending, which subsequently resulted in massive defaults and foreclosures, leading to your loss of significant equity value in your home, to the point that it destabilized your banks, which panicked the stock market, which wiped out your savings.

    Look and listen to Obama for yourself. Obama in this video, addressing his community activist work and his work representing ACORN in litigation against the banks and relating to the Community Reinvestment Act, and addressing the failure of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae as those actions relate to the destruction of our economy by causing the current real estate and subsequent financial crisis, states that, and I quote:

    "Subprime lending started out as a good idea, helping Americans buy homes who previously could not afford to. Financial institutions created new financial instruments that could securitize these loans, slice them into finer and finer risk categories, and spread them out among investors and around the country, as well as around the world. In theory, this should have allowed mortgage lending to be less risky, and more diversified."

    Acknowledging the catastrophe, but as apologist for the Democrats, Obama then offers this justification.

    "The original idea was a good one, which was, lets see if we can distribute risk more broadly, and make it easier to provide loans to people who otherwise might not be able to get one."

    Yah, great idea. Economically unsound, but embraced by Obama. Listen for yourself. You cannot dispute the mans on words recorded live:

    Below is a link to C-SPAN video clips of the Congressional hearings at roughly the time McCains attempt at S.190. to fix Fannie and Freddie. See for yourself who said what.

    In the exchange with "Joe the plumber" we find learned that Obama really is as radical as his early political acquaintances, Davis, Ayers, Wright, etc., and that he is into the failed economic policy of wealth redistribution. Obama's tax and spending plans alone would be bad enough, but add Reid and Pelosi to the mix, with the three of them controlling both houses of Congress and the executive branch without any effective restraint, and you have something that should causes concern even among moderate Democrats.

    "Ohio officials are investigating whether government computer systems were illegally accessed to acquire personal information about "Joe the Plumber," The Columbus Dispatch reports.

    Public records requested by The Dispatch reveal information on Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher's driver's license or his sport-utility vehicle was pulled from the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles database.

    Information on Wurzelbacher was obtained on Oct. 17 through an account used by the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency in Cleveland, The Dispatch reported records as showing.
    Access to such information from BMV computers is restricted to legitimate law enforcement and government business.

    The Dispatch reported that information on Wurzelbacher was accessed by accounts assigned to the office of Ohio Attorney General Nancy H. Rogers, the Cuyahoga County Child Support Enforcement Agency and the Toledo Police Department."

    Obama in this video is campaigning at a convention of Acorn and I believe two other Community Activist's organizations. Ask if he will be their ally if he becomes President and pledge to meet with leaders of Acorn and the others present at the convention in his first year, Obama says, quote:

    "Yes, but let me say that before I even get inaugurated, during the transition, we are going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda."

    See and hear it for yourself. Obama has promised that Acorn and other groups like it will a part of his transition and setting his agenda if elected:

    Re: Redistribution of wealth

    Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read 'Vote Obama, I need the money.' I laughed. Once in the restaurant my server had on a 'Obama 08' tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference --- just imagine the coincidence.

    When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need---the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight. I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.

    At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more.

    I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

    REDISTRIBUTION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WEALTH ... A GREAT IDEA, or just a fools game?

    Marxism at it's finest .... are you listening, Karl?

      Since you copied and pasted this, I will paste my previous response to this stupid email:
      If you are so unhappy with the idea of having to give some of your money to a cause other than buying yourself more stuff you probably don't need, then might I suggest not paying anymore taxes? Since taxation is the primary means for redistribution, simply don't pay. I'm sure the IRS will lovingly explain to you in their court summons exactly why the law deems it 'fairly important' to pay your taxes, even if you think all those 'pansy social programs' aren't worth it. I mean, why pay for things like schools and roads? Especially in America, where we can all 'pull up our socks' and look after ourselves right? they can always get some home schooling, or buy an F150 to dodge the potholes in the road... either way, I'm sure your lawyer will be able to make the IRS see it your way! :)

        You're absolutely right. I did copy and paste this. When I come across something that I feel makes a good point ... you're darn right I gonna post it. It's great huh? Explains things in a nutshell.

          sure does, as long as you're not understanding the US tax system... at all...

    Between a naval hero and longstanding Congressman and an unproven lawyer from Illinois...

    Who would you vote for?
