    its amazing how she still is on the front page of the liberal media bombardment but obama wont surrender proof that he is a US born citizen. And factcheck.org is not the same as complying with a federal court. Nope they just want to file motions to dismiss. This communist, anti-american, anti christian moron has only an angenda to sneak into office and overstep this constitution. Three things are trying to attack this nation. Radical anti christian liberalism, Radical islam, and these homosexual thugs. Shoulda just let the Democrat party be controlled by hillary, now you pissed her off. Good luck hiding all the crap the democrats and liberal media stirred up.

      Do you really think that Obama would get this far without a valid birth certificate? You need to go to the childrens' sites until you grow up. You are sentenced to be net nannied there until you show some common sense and can return to this site to have a discourse with intelligent grown ups. Some people still have their head down the Rabbit Hole. I have news for you, this is not Wonderland.

      Smears claiming Barack Obama doesn???t have a birth certificate aren???t actually about that piece of paper ??? they???re about manipulating people into thinking Barack is not an American citizen.

      The truth is, Barack Obama was born in the state of Hawaii in 1961, a native citizen of the United States of America.

      If you are interested in Barack???s birth certificate, make sure you see this page: http://fightthesmears.com/

    fter 9/11, the US government started rounding up Muslims without cause and without due process of law, like we did to the Japanese Americans in WWII. The Bush administration called it's main internment camp 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 didn't 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.

    Meanwhile, back in Iraq, the Bush administration is busy trying to build a smokescreen to hide the CRIMES they have committed. Those pesky weapons of mass destruction. Just think, the National Debt went up over 6 trillion dollars under Bush. More than 2 TRILLION of it went directly into the pockets of Halliburton, a corporation owned by the Cheney family. Halliburton is now a DUBAI corporation and therefore is not subject to US taxes. All that money they took out of the US Treasury is going into the coffers of a MUSLIM country.

    Did you hear about how the US government is being charged millions for Halliburton deliveries of sand into Iraq from Kuwait? Sand. Like there is a shortage of sand in Iraq? Another contractor shipped sand from Idaho to Iraq at our expense. Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz discusses these and other excesses of our current government's out of control spending in Iraq.

    Your grandchildren will be working like slaves to pay off this debt, so that the Bushes and Cheneys can live the high life in Dubai.

    Yeah, they're patriots, Bush&Co. They wear flag pins. And hide the money they stole from America in Dubai.

    And they want me to believe that Obama is a socialist. Right.

    In case you think McCain is any different than Bush, watch this:

    Here are the Countries that are the Greatest Threat to America via Nuclear Wars......

    1. China: Billiion People, Nuclear Might, One of the Largest if not the Largest Military in the World, they also Finance our [2 Wars] which equate to Billions per Month.

    2. Russia: They supply us and Europe with Gas & Oil, Large Military Might, the Largest Stockpile of Nuclear Weapons in the Entire World !!!


    3. India: Big Present-Future Problem for the USA & W.Europe, they have a Billion People, Nuclear -Military Might, Both China-india will get any Oil Discovered in America, because thisd Oil will go to Market an not to the American populus an bring what the Market bares, which would mean China-India, will get the Oil, if the President, U.S. Senate & Congress does not make it Law, that this Newly Discovered Oil, must stay here in the USA. If it is not made into Law, all this ...

    "Drill, Baby Drill Bull-Spit" is a Damn Joke !!!! Which it truly is.

    4. Pakistan: They have an Nuclear Arsenal and they have a Nut in Office, as President who is Crazy Enough to use them...Thats a Fact !!!

    Yet we are dealing with Pakistan, who is not our Ally at All !!!

    5. Theres one more Country in that Region, which is also a Nuclear Threat, moreso than others, but I shall Refrain from saying anything about that Country, who by the way...

    THEY ILLEGALLY OBTAINED AND PROLIFERATED A NUCLEAR ARSENAL THAT IS OF MAJOR CONCERN AND WILL UNDOUBTEDLY REVEAL ITSELF, AS TIME GOES ON.

    Big Note: But all this Fear & Dread Over Iran, is a Joke...

    Admadinajad has No Authority Over the Iranian Military, nor does he make Any Military Decisions, nor is he a part of the Military Decision making or Process and is EXCLUDED from such Military Process.

    HE PLAYS NO PARTS IN IRANIAN MILITARY ACTIONS or MILITARY DECISIONS.......

    THAT POWER IS IN THE HANDS OF IRAN'S TRUE LEADER.

    THAT IS A FACT

    Palin is not the answer to the Republican Party's woes. For years as a black Republican, I have said that the party has shifted from the party of Lincoln to the party of bigots. The Republicans need to take a closer look at the sorts of people they have been courting lately. When you use racially charged language, and use people who divide only, you expect these sorts of loses. I would love to see my party resurrected, but under a Palin, not a chance.

        I disagree. This woman is 44 years old. She is touting her credentials like she actually had any real ones. No one can force this woman to do or say what she does not agree with. Are they torturing her? I mean, get real. It may well be too late for her career. I don't have a lot of sympathy for her and I do not think others caused her problem. She accepted and participated in what has happened to date. She will and should pay any price in stature, and career. If she is smart, and there are good questions about that, then she will maybe learn from this that you can't say whatever you want regardless of truth, morals, common sense. Somehow, I don't think she gets it. I won't hold my breath for her to say she made mistakes.

    THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
    I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
    He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
    is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
    The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
    The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
    the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
    McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
    That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
    It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
    Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
    Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
    Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
    No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
    It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
    even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
    If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
    When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
    So why are the polls even close then ?
    Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
    which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
    They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
    Let's teach him we are smarter than that
    Stand up and hold them accountable
    Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
    Elect Obama Biden 2008

    I totally disagree that Palin is going to shape the future of the Republican party. Centrist and Independent Americans are completely fed up with the far right, their cultural agenda, and wedge issue politics. Palin may win the Repuplican base, but she will have to moderate on far too many issues to win the center and be able to keep that base. Just ask John McCain about this concept. McCain's blunder is that he surrendered to the neo-cons on many issues, but the most damaging was when he took their advice and chose Palin as his VP. He chose "cold political calculation" over good governance - just like Bush. While political memory is brief, Americans are going to be suffering from this type of Governance for years to come. The Republicans only hope in the next two decades is to find a charismatic leader who can bring them the center - a McCain who sticks to his principles and does not surrender to the far-right.

    His Top Financial Adv. Says [He Will Raise Your Taxes]

    http://www.time-blog.com/swampland/2008/09/the_mccain_tax_increasescontin.html

    McCain Top Economic Adviser: [McCain Will Raise Taxes] ...Fact !!!

    "Whether you're a Republican, Democrat President or a Martian, Taxes will be Raised"

    Though Mccain has said Throughout his campaign

    "I will Not, Raise Your Taxes"

    His Top Economic Adviser says that a LIE....

    Obama will Raise Taxes on those that make More than 250,000...

    The 250,000 per year and Under, will have a Tax Break and Tax Cut.

    ------------------------------------------

    Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former Director of the Congressional Budget Office and current chief McCain economic advisor, is an honest man--which means he's something of a liability on the Straight Talk Express. A few months ago, he admitted to my colleague, Michael Scherer, that Barack Obama's economic plan would reduce taxes for most people.

    And now, in a forthcoming book by Fortune columnist Matt Miller, he makes it clear that the next President is going to have to raise taxes.

    "If you do nothing on the spending side, you're going to have to RAISE TAXES whether you're a Republican, a Democrat or a Martian," he tells Miller...and then he immediately makes it clear that the "spending side" part of the argument is nothing more than a ...............

    "POLITICAL FIG LEAF".

    --------------------------------------------------------

    YOU REPUBLICANS ARE SUCH GULLIBLE FOOLS...MCCAIN WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES...PERIOD

    TAXES WILL BE RAISED...PERIOD...

    2 WARS AT THE COST OF BILLIONS, HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT, RECORD HIGH FORECLOSURE RATES, THE BIGGEST WALLSTREET BAILOUT EVER, INFLATION, ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, OVER POPULATION, ALL LEAD TO MORE [TAXATION] !!!

    Just to clarify my position, I'm not anti god. I just think that any conservative can see that the most straightforward interpretation of separation of church and state is: "separation of church and state." We can't burn both ends of the candle and expect to get anywhere, and these fundamentalists in our party want us to forget about the constitution and push their agenda. THEIR CHURCH AGENDA, NOT THE REPUBLICAN AGENDA! They only identify with our party because we grossly pander to their willful ignorance to get a vote, and if Jimmy Carter decided to run again they'd all flock to the Democrats like it's Sunday morning. These people are not looking out for the Republican party, they are looking out for their church

      Yes. And the fore fathers had it right. That has been the success of America, among other important things. It is a necessary but not sufficient condition to have religion kept out of public office. Religious freedom is important too, but it is wholly personal to the individuals. When it comes to enforcing your own views on others, then you are no longer free to do what you want. Others have this same rights as you to freedom. This is where extremism starts and we know first hand where it ends. That religion is even in the debate is inappropriate. Period. The principles of democracy, the values that are at the core of all great religions as interpreted by normal people, are pretty much the same. The constitution needs to be respected in this matter as it is at the core of America's success. Indeed, its survival.

  • Posted By: benivarius @ 10/26/2008 6:30:31 PM

    What makes me really mad about all this is that I really, really like the John McCain from 2000 and 2004. So why, if he truly is a Maverick, did he roll over and let his campaign make him deny his personal character, change his arguments about a host of issues, and accept Sarah Palin as his running mate. We NEEDED what the real John McCain SHOULD be selling us, but he caved and bowed to the far-right social agenda. Now look where he is. Out of time and out of luck, and it's a crying shame because if he would have stuck to his guns from the last two election years he'd be exactly what we needed RIGHT NOW.

    Well, Palin taking over the GOP would be really ambitious. Unfortunately, for anyone who has watched her performance that very idea is a joke. John Edwards could -and did- claim that under the eunuch Kerry '04 campaign his instincts and input were swamped, his populism watered-down. But that was John Edwards, a bright, intelligent individual who in spite of his closet actions did manage to change the tone and put poverty center stage during the primaries.

    Sarah Palin is the Paris Hilton of politics; an incurious and unprepared good looking person who wants desperately for charisma to trump preparedness and wishing we wouldn't know the difference. She wants to be a star without putting the legwork.
    1) She wants to represent "The real America" while spending $150,000 in designer clothes.
    2) She attacks Obama for being a "socialist" but heads a state where oil companies have to pay each citizen a cut of profits.
    3) She claims to be against earmarks but, again, heads the state that receives the largest cut of pork in all of the union.
    4) She attacks Obama for "Palling around with terrorists" and being unpatriotic when her husband was a member of a secessionist party. A party that wants to secede from "this great nation" she know wants to head.

    Not only that, she never did her homework, and that's the problem, she lacks the integrity between her deeds and her goals... But all she wants is to be president. Sorry, no dice. And if Republicans haven't learn their lesson after the fiasco of the last eight years and allow her to become a leader in their party, they deserve her.

      Dear ignorant....Palin has stated that the clothes do not belong to her and that she will either give them to charity or auction them off maybe bring a profit the the Republican party or help a good cause. What's so bad about that?...if she wasn't dressed nice you'd be all over her for that. Obama's spend hundreds of millions of non reusable dollars on things like nice clothes Michelle is keeping, on Iranian caviar (while Palin often times buys Protein bars...which might explain Michelle's growing caboose) and especially for advertisements made up often of lies (see Charles Krauthammer's column today showing some of the lies) half-truths, stultifications, and deceptions. Obummer is spending a few million already on a victory bash and he hasn't even won yet. Let's see $2,000,000 you can't get back to get liberals drunk versus $150,000 on clothes you can make a profit off of or give to charity.....What's better? How can you be so stupid?

        Dearest Jackass,
        Palin can say anything she wants but consistently her record shows that what she says and what she does are two different things. Don't you realize the extent of the idiocy in "I'll give those clothes to charity"? $150,000 should have NEVER been spent in something so frivolous. For Christ's sake, at a time when people are losing their jobs and homes left and right, and good intentioned McCain supporters are sending in their hard-earned money, Palin is living the lavish life. If they are capable of doing this with campaign money, what can you expect of them to do with OUR money?

        By the way, the whole story about Michele Obama's expenses by the New York Post were debunked and a retraction issued.

        By the way, the dress she wore to a TV interview? $150.00. The dress Cindy McCain wore to the Republican convention? $180,000.00. Hmmm, I wonder who of these two can understand my economic situation better.

          Wow, it is such a good thing that we have you here to tell us what should and shouldn't be spent on clothing, including specific dollar amounts!

          You are a typical socialistic control freak, who is so convinced of his/her own intelligence that you just know these things and feel the need to try and enforce them on others.

          You are a sad joke, and frighteningly typical of the Democrat Party faithful.

          Why not just move to Venezuala of Cuba? The government's there could use your help with top-down social engineering...

            See? People with no arguments to make resort to name calling like you are. I served in the US army to keep this country safe and its constitution intact, and for people like you to run your mouth as you wish. So no, I'm not moving to Venezuela because I bled for the US of A. It's typical of morons and hawks who never served in uniform when duty called them to question other people's patriotism. That's why Palin is sinking your ticket and states like Virginia, Iowa and North Carolina are going blue (they didn't even turn blue for Clinton), because people are smelling your type of fake patriotism.

            If people who believe in health care and tax breaks for the non-rich belong in Cuba -- people like you belong in 1930s Germany. Got it, Jimbo? : )

            Sorry no. This country belongs to us all. Your intimidating tactics won't work. You are welcome to do whatever you want and go wherever you want. But don't threaten Americans with their own citizenship and freedom. There has been enough of that in the last 8 years.

            And, seriously, Palin spent more on clothes in two months than I have spent in a 53 year life time. Indeed, I have spent no more than $25,000, maybe $45,000 adjusted for inflation. And I dress well on the job every day. Seriously.

            And to compare her to Clinton or Edwards is ridiculous - we are talking about $150,000 in two months for crying out loud.

            That's enough to buy Joe the Plumber his business. Now that would have been a great thing for the campaign to do. And it is about 5 to 10 years of Joe Six Pack's salary.

            I am sure she relates to the Joe Six Packs. This woman is not middle class in her thinking. Sarah talks a good slang, but in her elite and exclusive heart of hearts, she is a lover of only pure gold ....

            Palin does not even know how to connect with herself or John McCain. Never mind the average Joe and Jane. I think she is just clueless in Alaska???..

            She has been reduced by McCain to a Hood Ornament on the Lying with a Straight Face Express. Pointing the way out over that mystical Bridge to Nowhere???

            Somehow, I don???t think America is gonna get on that gol dern horseless carriage???

      Cazadora, you have nailed Miss Palin. I am very proud of you.

        Thank you Ikie! But it's cazador (Spanish for hunter). You just called me a she-hunter! : )
        Cheers!

      Mr. Cazador1972, your statement is the absolute truth. I believe that a majority of the informed voting public would agree, regardless of political party. Thank you.
