    Obama hates anyone who is succesful in America - He wants to take 65 cents of every person's pay check and give it to those who do not work. He hates Americans. He does not want to help those who have started small buasinesss - this plan will cause job loss in America. He hates any business - but most of us do work for business! So, I guess, we will have massive job loss under Obama- friend of felons and terroirts

    • Posted By: marley07 @ 10/26/2008 10:06:48 PM

      Could not have said it better myself!! He is going to choke small business and the consumer. Those are the two most vital pieces of our economic growth.

    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."

    Obama's view of the future of America - Socialism which is the next step to Communism!!


    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}

    Capitalism is the only social system that rewards virtue and punishes vice. This applies to both the business executive and the carpenter, the lawyer and the factory worker.

    With less than two months before the election, Republicans and Democrats are driving it home: This is the election of the century.

    And they're right: There is a lot at stake this year. This could be the year we change the lives of million Americans by providing them with decent health care and millions more with a living wage. It could be the year that we listen to the many Americans and Iraqis and withdraw occupying forces. It could be the year that we cut the near-trillion dollar defense budget, repeal NAFTA, revoke the Patriot Act and the illegal wiretapping FISA bill, build a green energy infrastructure, discipline runaway corporations and reign in the manic speculation driving the current food and housing crises.

    That is Ralph Nader's plan, anyway-to offer Americans what the polls show they want.

    So, while John McCain sings about bombing Iran and Barack Obama uses rhetoric about "smart" and "dumb" wars to stay in dumb wars and start new "smart" ones, Nader stands for strongly negotiated peace in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan. While Obama dismisses his earlier commitments to fair trade as "overheated," Nader would replace NAFTA with uniform environmental and labor standards. And while McCain chants "drill, baby, drill," and Obama prepares to replace Big Oil with Big Corn or Big Nukes, Nader calls for a renewable infrastructure.

    But the Democrats tell us that we cannot vote for Nader because there is too much at stake this year. After eight years of George W. Bush, the argument goes, we cannot afford another Republican. We must rally behind the change party. And for the most part, students are buying it. Emphatically anybody-but-Bush and unfamiliar with the Democrats' duplicity, these students mistakenly believe that ousting the current administration will exorcise the demons of war, jingoism and economic imperialism they represent.

    This is total BS. How can Obama be the King of Consensus? This same magazine calls him the King of Consensus on one hand but then reports. He has voted 97% of the time with the Democratic Party. Only 13 of his bills has bipartisan support and he has voted 190+ times present since he has been a Senator. Someone who votes 190+ times present cannot product consensus when they cannot decide there own self.

  • Posted By: NateBakker @ 09/23/2008 2:43:23 AM

    for trazer,

    To think that Obama has alienated 50% of Americans (wemon) by not selecting Hillary Clinton as his running mate is ignorance. To select Sara Palin, a governer for two years, and a mayor whith a shotty past, who has no knowledge of world affairs. This should be what alienates american wemon. To jump on Obama for his speeches in san francisco is something that should not be done. San Francisco is the most liberal and accepting city in the united states, and he was able to appeal to them (us actually, as I live in san francisco) and give his views without fear. Commendable. McCain has changed his opinions over many topics, choosing what he felt would fit at the time. Barack Obama has stuck to his views, at least showing that he is adimant about his beliefs. I honestly can say that I believe, and you don't have to agree, that McCain chose Palin in hope of gaining the Hillary votes, but any true Hillary supporters would have jumped off that boat as soon as they saw how uneducated in politics she is.

    Barack Obama does not have the experience that John McCain has, true. But to tell you the truth... I would rather have an unexperienced president who has similar views to me, than a man who is the same mold as the last president (buck fush) that has put our country in the situation we are in at this time.

    Agree or not, I don't mind. Have a good Day!! =D

    He looks like he fits in well with actions typical of all the DC chronies; nothing original and unique about him in my eyes.;

  • Posted By: trazer @ 09/15/2008 8:36:02 PM

    He has alienated 50 per cent of America so if you talk consensus it generally means you listen to both sides. Obama has not. He is a political orphan who has failed to embrace change and tell us how he will work with everyone. He has alienated all women by his not accepting Hillary as his VP. He is so small minded when it comes to small town America given his remarks he made in San Francisco behind our bakcs.

    Let me see - how many of the people in the crowds are paid people who show up time and time and time again. Obama is not a very good speaker given that Bill O'Reilly made him look so squeemish on his show. He has no idea to do about Iran and refused to answer the question on Bill OReilly. He can talk - but he can't make any important decisions on key issues given his record of voting Present versus Voting Yes No

    • Posted By: Kahalle @ 09/08/2008 12:26:09 PM

      Voting Present is representing that the bill needs to be worked on further. If the bill does not come back for adjustments than the present vote counts as a NO vote. Get your facts correct.

    .
    [1.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #1: THE "WE DON'T KNOW HIM" LIES
    After 19-months on the campaign trail, detractors of Senator Obama (mainly GOP constituents), claim they "still don't know Obama" well enough to make an informed decision as to how they should vote. But within 48-hours of Sarah Palin's introduction to the GOP, Obama's critics suddenly knew everything there was to know about Sarah Palin. How is it that the religious-right cannot know (a fellow Christian brother) Obama after he endured 18-months of brutal media scrutiny, but suddenly 'know' Palin within 2-days of popping up on the national stage and without one public interview?

    .
    [2.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #2: THE "EXPERIENCE" LIES
    After Senator Obama spent 19-months running a campaign that has totaled $350-million; and after 3 ½ years in the Senate negotiating legislations for the nation and for his 12.8-million Illinois constituents; and after 8-years in Illinois State Senate fighting for the middle-class; and after 3 ½ more years fighting as a community activist and organizer; it is genuinely hypocritical for McCain to pound Obama on the experience factor, and then turn around and install Sarah Palin with NO national and foreign experience, to be a single heartbeat from Commander-in-Chief of the United States. This is a GARGANTUAN HYPOCRISY and a RECKLESS decision that puts the nation at risk just so McCain can win the presidency.

    .
    [3.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #3: THE "CHANGE" LIES
    Up until last week, McCain's campaign has been on "EXPERIENCE", while Obama's mantra has always been on CHANGE. After watching the DNC performance, McCain 'blinked' and changed his campaign to run on the same mantra as Obama's which is CHANGE. This is after McCain accused Obama of saying anything to win!!

    .
    [4.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #4: THE "APPEASEMENT" LIES
    Bush and McCain accused Obama of wanting to "appease" Iran so they would stop their nuclear program. Obama blasted back and said McCain and Bush hold hawkish views and poor judgment, and their refusal to open diplomatic channels with Iran amounts to failed international policies. Ironically, Bush followed Obama's strategy and began backdoor talks with Iran. As it has turned out, neither Bush nor McCain are calling their own talks with Iran "appeasement", or given Obama credit for what Americans wanted the Bush-McCain leadership to try prior to military exercises. And by the way, Bush and McCain supported 'appeasements' to North Korea in exchange for shutting down their nukes. Again, how ironic, appeasement was the very thing Bush / McCain hypocrites accused Obama.

    .
    [5.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #5: THE "TAX CUT" LIES
    McCain accused Obama of trying to raise taxes. But Obama has continually advocated tax cuts for the middle-class with annual salaries of less than $250,000.00, which is about 98% of the population. However, McCain doesn't tell the public his health insurance plan is going to effectively raise taxes for all Americans that have health insurance, while making permanent tax cuts for the riches upper 2% of Americans.

    .
    [6.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #6: THE "BRIDGE TO NOWHERE" LIES
    Sarah Palin claimed on several occasions that she turned down $350-million of federal government earmarks for the "bridge to nowhere". But what actually happened is Sarah campaigned to get the money for the "bridge to nowhere", then flip-flopped after McCain voted the bridge down when she won the Governor's office. Ironically, Alaska still got the 'bridge to nowhere' funds but it was used instead to build a "highway to nowhere".

    .
    [7.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #7: THE "PLANE SALE ON EBAY" LIES
    Sarah Palin insinuated she sold state plane on EBay for a profit, and more recently McCain repeated it as a fact that the plane was actually sold on EBay for a profit. That lie has now been debunked, and the good Christian Sarah Palin has no shame that she was caught in another lie. The plane could not sell on EBay so it was taken down and sold "privately for a lost".

    .
    [8.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #8: THE "ABSTINENCE-ONLY" LIES
    Sarah Palin as an Ultra Extreme Religious-Right advocate uses her State office bully-pulpit to knock down public school sex-education, while plugging her "abstinence-only" religious views to public schools. Ironically, her 17-year old daughter Bristol fails to practice the "abstinence before marriage" views her mother is trying to push in Alaska schools. Then Sarah tries to hide it with another lie by telling the school where Bristol attends that her daughter must drop out because she has Mono. Sarah continued to hold fast to the Mono lie until rumors break loose just after her VP announcement. It was only then the "abstinence-only" hypocrite came clean.

  • Posted By: Perusing-through @ 09/06/2008 5:37:12 AM

    .
    [9.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #9: THE "TROOPER-GATE" LIES
    Sarah Palin claimed she never called the State Trooper Magistrate to have her ex-brother-in-law fired. Soon after investigators got on the seen, emails were retrieved to dispute that fact, and now all seven of Sarah's state appointees have refused to testify. It has been learned that more than 20+ plus calls were made to the State Trooper Magistrate regarding the firing of Sarah's brother-in-law, and because the seven witnesses have 'lawyered-up', the investigators must use subpoenas to get the seven that initially volunteered to testify to give an account of what happened.

    .
    [10.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #10: THE "POLITICS BEFORE COUNTRY" LIES
    McCain and Rove accused Obama of picking Virginia Governor Tim Kane as VP for political expediency, and also because Tim Kane would bring a southern state into the Democratic "Win Column". Instead Obama went for Senator Joe Biden to sure up the leadership ticket for the White House. McCain assuming it would be an Obama-Kane ticket, wrongly accused Obama of putting politics ahead of country. Well McCain and Rove got busted. The whole world (except blinded Religious-Right) witnessed McCain picking the least qualified Republican to be his VP in hopes of: (1.) stealing Hillary's voters from Obama; (2.) pleasing James Dobson's religious-right. Clearly a hypocritical VP pick by McCain for the "sole purpose of political ambitions", is now on record for the world???s eternal observation.

    .
    [11.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #11: THE "SADDLEBACK CONE-OF-SILENCE" CHEATER-LIES
    It was McCain's responsibility to be in Pastor Rick Warren's "Cone of Silence" before Senator Obama got the first question. McCain was not in the cone-of-silence. Therefore McCain cheated. The issue is not whether McCain heard any of the questions posed to Obama, the issue is that cheating did occur when McCain did not follow the rules to be where he was suppose to be, at the time he was suppose to be there.

    .
    [12.]
    "McCAIN / PALIN / GOP" HYPOCRISY #12: THE "IRAQ TIMETABLE" LIES
    Senator Obama was consistent in his call for a responsible U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq under an agreed timetable. McCain and Bush said "absolutely" no timetables and anything like timetables was tantamount to "cut-and-run". It was Bush and McCain's desire to stay in Iraq indefinitely. Only after Obama took McCain's challenge and went to Iraq & Afghanistan, and secured an informal agreement to pull U.S. troops out by 2010, did Bush and McCain changed there views to accept timetables. Now Bush and McCain don't call timetables cut-and-run any longer.

    I have watched the Pres.Nom. for the pass six month's and alot has been worth it,
    yet I want to know why McCain is using so much money to bash OBAMA, the way he is.
    it is a waste of tax payer's money, and alot of what he said's is lie's
    also McCain is hiding behind a woman's skirt, and playing diry.
    He baashed OBAMA, saying He is an unknown, yet he pick's an unknown, to
    be vp.
    alot of praise has gone up for McCain, but some have forgotten that he said, if
    he get's into office he will get back at Cuba, for what happened to him in P O W camp
    when he was there, that was back about 3 month's ago.
    what he want's is another war, remeber Cuba is close to the U.S.A. and we could
    be in a very bad war,and for what because he want's to get back at them, for
    something that happened year's ago. He should be Greatful he is alive when so many have
    been killed and never made it home,even in this war.
    wake up McCain and let us live,come out of the past.
    or get a rocker and sit in it. not in the White House either

  • Posted By: SUSIE1938 @ 09/05/2008 6:49:59 PM

    Why does McCain,use tax payer's money to bash Sen.OBAMA, with lie's and such.
    why does he not play the game fair, and square.
    the only real reason he picked Palin, was to hold on to her skirt, and hide behind her
    and use her, to try and get more vote's.
    That is unfair way to gain vote's and lose respect for one's self.
    McCain need's the rocking chair, not an office in the White House, have you forgotten he said if he get's
    into office he will get back at Cuba, for the time he was in P O W,? he want's war and will stop at nothing
    until he get's war.I want to see little children grow up, meaning my own grand and great grand children also.
