Why McCain Won

    ACORN, the community organizing outfit with which Obama has a long and fruitful history, has put together a team of voter-registration workers drawn from the most reliable Democratic constituency: felons. Their Nevada operation alone include several felons. The result across the U.S. have been instructive: 21 separate voter-registration applications were filed for a single voter in Miami; in Indiana, signatures were forged on registration cards for names pulled out of the phone book. and in Indianapolis/Marion county's registration now stands at 105% of the voting-age population; in Nevada, registrations for the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys were filed from non-existent addresses, and there were no records of many of the people proffered as voters. In Albuquerque, at least 1,400 registration cards are in question. Missouri (53,000 new ACORN voters) and Ohio are finding forged signatures and registrations from non existent addresses. These are not isolated cases; they run into several thousands already,and the investigations have only begun.It is no coincidence that they are concentrated in hotly contested swing states. Some 3 million ACORN voters have been added to the rolls since 2004. In July 2007, five ACORN activists pleaded guilty to fraud for faking voter registrations in Washington State. They should do something about this problem now, not the day after the election.

    After a Obama victory this board will be gone as Freedom of Speech will be gone. They have more than
    hinted they don't like it. This boaard will come down in a hurryl.

    40YearR: You cant run away from Obama's own words, much as you try to avoid them, or Clintons.

    Comment: Hear Obama and Clinton for yourself, in their own words wothout the filter of someone elses opinion..

    Bill Clinton says so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsynspIqAoE

    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:

    WELL SAID BILL COSBY !!

    'They're standing on the corner and they can't speak English.
    I can't even talk the way these people talk:
    Why you ain't,
    Where you is,
    What he drive,
    Where he stay,
    Where he work,
    Who you be...

    And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.

    And then I heard the father talk.

    Everybody knows it's important to speak English except these knuckleheads.
    You can't be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.

    In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

    People marched and were hit in the face with rocks to get an Education, and now
    We've got these knuckleheads walking around.

    The lower economic people are not holding up their end in this deal.

    These people are not parenting. They are buying things for kids.

    $500 sneakers for what?

    And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

    I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit.

    Where were you when he was 2?

    Where were you when he was 12?

    Where were you when he was 18 and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol?

    And where is the father? Or who is his father?

    People putting their clothes on backward:
    Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

    People with their hats on backward, pants down around the crack, isn't that a sign of something?

    Isn't it a sign of something when she has her dress all the way up and got all type of needles [piercing] going through her body?

    What part of Africa did this come from??

    We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don't know a thing about Africa ...

    I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid.

    I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don't have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany , Scotland , England , Ireland , or the Netherlands . The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa . So stop, already! ! !

    With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap .....And all of them are in jail.

    Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person's problem.

    We have got to take the neighborhood back.

    People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different 'husbands' -- or men or whatever you call them now.

    We have millionaire football players who cannot read.

    We have million-dollar basketball players who can't write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job.

    Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.

    We have to start holding each other to a higher standard.

    We cannot blame the white people any longer.'

    Dr. William Henry 'Bill' Cosby, Jr., Ed.D.

    If McCain won, we would have another liar, in the white house, a panicky old man, who chooses an inexperienced VP candidate, after citing Obama as being inexperienced. Not to mention, a man who hides Bush , like a undesirable cousin! He takes any money Bush can raise, but doesn't want to be seen with him! He has lied repeatedly out of one side of his mouth calling Obama a socialist, and saying he wants to pay for the middle classes morgages out of the other side of his mouth. He talks about the company Obama keeps, when he was a member of the Keating five, and gave money to a known terrorist, also, he is one of the Watergate burglars friends, G. Gordon Liddy. He lied when he said he would suspend his campaign until the economic crisis was solved, and he lied when he said he wouldn''t participate in the debate. He lied , when he said he didn't know who Obama was, when it is well documented, that he worked with Obama on a bill in the senate. He told a crowd that Obama was a decent man, and then attack Obamas credibility. The man has no empathy for the American people, he just wants to become President before he dies. The problem with that is ,...he is 72, and we could be stuck with a Hockey mom, that accepts 150,000 dollars for her and her families clothes, and charges Alaskan taxpayers for travel expenses for her family, and then says she is for the taxpayer! Taxpayers donated to the McCain campaign, and then he went out on a shopping spree with Palin....she also abused her power as Govenor, and doesn't even know what the constitution says about the job of the VP is! She's an idiot, and he's a LIAR!

    Two central issues in the election Barack Obama is wrong and misleading:

    1) No tax increases to those earning $250,000 or less promised by Obama, then he
    lowered this figure to $200,000, then the "Gift that keeps on Giving" Joe Biden says
    the number is $150,000 and just yesterday Gov. Bill Richardson says the figure is
    $120,000 ...and now a videotape is disclosed where it shows Obama recently stated
    that in the interest of fairness with taxes is around $80,000.00!!
    Sounds like good old fashion Democratic ???reverse auction ???tax policy they implement
    after they break their campaign promise to the American people.

    2) On national security ...Obama???s own VP running mate Joe Biden ... ???mark my words,
    this guy Obama is going to be tested by a generated international crisis within 6
    months of his Presidency..I guarantee it??? Obama will meet with USA's enemies with
    no pre-conditions!
    John McCain???s surge strategy in Iraq is working and its saving the lives of young
    American men and women in uniform serving there...Obama won't admit to this day
    the surge is working and he voted to cut funding for these military forces !!

    John McCain is Commander-In-Chief material ....Obama is just a cardboard "cut-out"
    candidate of the DNC.

    Study finds Media has Betray Trust of American People
    Newsweek Article:
    Study: Media coverage has favored Obama campaign
    Study finds comments on evening newscasts over the past two months favored the Obama campaign

    "For whatever reason, the media are portraying Barack Obama as a better choice for president than John McCain," said Robert Lichter, a George Mason University professor and head of the center. "If you watch the evening news, you'd think you should vote for Obama."

    http://www.newsweek.com/id/165218

    "A former Newsweek reporter admitted in an article this week that he has no objectivity and imagined disabling Rudy Giuliani so he wouldn't run in the presidential primary race last year.
    Michael Hastings wrote in GQ magazine that he had a "recurring fantasy" that he could somehow stop the former New York City mayor in his tracks.
    "I quickly realized Rudy was a maniac. I had a recurring fantasy in which I took him out during a press conference (it was nonlethal, just something that put him out of commission for a year or so), saving America from the horror of a President Giuliani. If that sounds like I had some trouble being 'objective,' I did. Objectivity is a fallacy," he said."

    wow!!! the only reason obama may lose is because of racism. how insightful. and here i thought i wasn't going to vote for him because he only had 2 years political experience before he started campaigning. now that i know i was only voting for mccain because i'm racist, i guess i feel guilty for being born white and will just vote for obama. thanks newsweek for knowing every person in the US better than they know themselves.

      Now that we know Obama has PLO buddies, no thanks to the LA Times, looks like maybe Jesse Jackson knows a good bit more about Obama's politics than the national media does, or JewsForObama for that matter.
      "Press Releases
      AJC Strongly Condemns Rev. Jesse Jacksons 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."
      http://www.ajc.org/site/apps/nlnet/content2.aspx?c=ijITI2PHKoG&b=849241&ct=6107743
      Sounds a good bit more like Hitler to me. Isn't this the same Democrat leader who once called New York "Hymietown" ?

    Obama and his allies have shown an unhealthy zeal for suppressing critical speech. Some weeks ago his campaign instructed its acolytes to drown out radio interviews with critics such as Stanley Kurtz and David Freddoso It has sent cease-and desist letters to television stations airing NRA ads against him. The New York Times has editorialized against letting ads on Obama's extremist pro-abortion record be aired.The ads say that Obama favors taxpayer funded abortions, which the Times calls a lie and a smear. It happens to be true. Obama has sponsored legislation to this effect.

  • Posted By: Dromara @ 10/31/2008 9:34:11 PM

    The Obama way: you've got to hand it to this guy. I red that during a campaign stop in Springfield, Mo.,Obama told the crowed: So one of the things we've got to do is not just change the health-care system, but we've got to also change our political system. And that's why I don't take PAC money. I don't take money from the federal registered lobbyists, because I want to answer to you when I'm in the White House. I don't want to answer to all these fat-cat lobbyists" But as it turns out he has no problem accepting money from the spouses of Washington lobbyists. But it seems that more than 20 spouses of prominent Washington lobbyists have donated to the Obama campaign. The campaign accepts money from lobbyists registered in state capitals. It accepts money from partners at law firms that engage in lobbying. It accepts money from CEOs, chairs, and other officers of corporations, but not their lobbyists. When ashed 'aren't such policies a little inconsistent with the ban? a senior Obama official answered: 'Maybe, but it's important symbolism". Shifty bugger, wouldn't you say?

  • Posted By: bneely22 @ 10/31/2008 4:02:35 PM

    Here we go again. The premise that if Obama doesn't get elected it is because this country is racist is an offensive propoganda ploy. If he doesn't get elected, it is because he is an unqualified Marxist with shady past associations and radical, far left views. Please, save us the assinie quilt trip. The media are going to get their "golden calf" elected. We have enough of a hype-driven, celebrity-crazed, dumbed-down American public for them to finally influence a presidential election.

  • Posted By: Dromara @ 10/31/2008 3:26:59 PM

    Here's one (of many) instances of Obama the con artist at work (on 'no tax increase on the middle class)) "...if you make less than 250K per year, there will be no tax increase. A few weeks later: " ... if you make more than 200K per year, there will be no tax increase. a few weeks later his VP get into the act: "... if you make more than 150K per year, there will e no tax increase. Still later when debating with Hillary: ".... people who make less then 97K per year, there tax will not be raised. How low can he go???!!! How about 50K? So this is change you can believe in? It boggles my Irish/Canadian mind why this guy seems to be on his way to the White House. He's an unknown guy with no experience, counts as his friends and colleagues, unrepentant terrorists, convicted felons, a militant muslim: Rashid Khalidi (close friends of the Obamas) and a bunch of crooked pols from the corrupt Daley pol political machine. Then there is ACORN, an activist groups that he steered money to when he was an Illinois senator. They are working for him now registering new voters and among others managed to sign up the front line of the Dallas cowboys, Joe Stalin, Adolph Hitler AND Karl Marks. That's quite a coupe! If the compliant major media had investigated him like they did Sara Palin, does any one think he would be on the road to the White House? I'm hoping that by next Tuesday the people of the U.S. will have second thoughts about this guy. He's a scary dude.

    I'm sure that Mr. Alter will be fair and his next article will be that if John McCain loses it will be because of ageism. Seems that the only people that are afraid that Obama will lose, think that the world is filled with racists. Must know quite a few of them, ,huh, Mr. Alter?
