    You people are positively nuts. Just because somebody posts something on a website doesn't make it a "fact." I believe that the onus is on people like variable1 to offer actual evidence for thier alleged "facts." The onus isn't on others to disprove their loony assertions.

    Well we have another ostrich who goes by the name of NavyVet08. You people are really something and quite entertaining, too. None of you STILL have not disproved the facts posted here, the only thing y'all can do is go on the personal attack but that's understandable because fools come out of the woodwork when faced with a desperate situation.

      does anyone see the irony of this last sentence? LOL

  • Posted By: NavyVet08 @ 01/04/2008 6:56:58 PM

    i have an idea, variable1, why don't YOU PROVE that those things are fact. you have not yet done so.
    you are a complete fool. let us know when you have some FACTS to point out, with, oh, i don't know, some references to back you up, maybe?

    I'm so excited that Obama won! Finally a candidade that doesn't dumb down the conversation with cliches and sound bites. Obama can restore our national credibiliy which is in tatters after six years of corruption, lies, and war crimes.

      Obama restores national credibility? What makes you think he can do that? An Obama administration will be played like a fine-tuned fiddle by the Chinese, Russian, Iranian and North Korean governments. Don't make me laugh. At this time in America's history we need someone who can navigate us through the treacherous waters of international relations. Obama and his followers will not be able to do that. America is digging its grave even deeper.

        And who do you suggest will do that? He's the best candidate out there in my opinion.

        • Posted By: tjlinko @ 01/04/2008 6:55:45 PM

          Dick Cheney, of course. He's got more experience than any of them...Oh, wait, wasn't he the one who got us into this mess in the first place? So much for experience.

    • Posted By: Take it day by day @ 01/04/2008 10:48:36 AM

      Obama likely will turn out just like Bush! Gag not that again. LOL

    • Posted By: Take it day by day @ 01/04/2008 10:46:09 AM

      I don't get all the excitement for Obama has only won at Iowa. That is only one state. Hello????

  • Posted By: NavyVet08 @ 01/04/2008 6:50:24 PM

    this is in reference to some of the insanity that variable1 has been posting throughout the day. i don't know why i'm even addressing this as this person is clearly running around wearing a tin foil hat, but i can't just let this go without pointing out (as if it's not obvious) that this person is a TOOL.
    Where did you get this information? If Obama says he's a Christian (or Jew or Buddhist, for that matter), then who is to say that he's not?

  • Posted By: variable1 @ 01/04/2008 6:49:04 PM

    Are you kidding me? The leftist media report factual red flags about obama's past. Now that's hilarious. Hey I am merely pointing out facts for everyone to consider. Please post anything that disproves:

    1. obama is not a muslim.
    2. obama attended a Wahabi school in Jakarta.
    3) His mother married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.
    4) Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an
    attempt to downplay his Muslim background

  • Posted By: bstacey @ 01/04/2008 6:46:43 PM

    Senator Obama when sworn into office did not use a "family BIble" or any other Bible, but requested the Quoran. THAT act alone should have America at attention. At nurmerous functions, he does not stand at attention, or place is hand over his heart for the Pledge of Alligeance is recited. US service men and woman have given their lives for democracy and our personal freedoms. His ignorance to that fact is a sham. His home church pontificates "Black Power"....just whose America is it? I rather doubt that the Jr. Senator would have much to lend America as a strong and powerful and wise leader. What a shame....

    SIncerely,

    To Variable1: I don't even understand what you are saying. You reference www.snopes.com as your proof of Obama being some crazy Jihadist. Did you even read what it said? It completely, 100% debunked all of that complete nonsense from Insight magazine (and then of course Fox). If you ever wonder why "elitist liberals" look down their noses at some conservatives, look no further than your own comments and beliefs about Obama being some double-secret Muslim terrorist trying to infiltrate our government. Seriously, use your head for a minute and think for yourself. Do you really think that if ANY portion of this "story" from Insight was true, it wouldn't be a major news story at some point? Good god.

  • Posted By: variable1 @ 01/04/2008 6:28:51 PM

    Hey Bob, it was thinking the way you do that made us Yankees split for the new world. What is posted about obama is factual and not accusation whether you want to believe it or stick your fingers in your ears and scream "la, la, la, la ...", it will still be the same facts. Now I understand, when the sky is factually the color blue, and the dems do not want to accept this fact, they will do one of two things; One, they will blame somebody else or they will foolishly state that the sky is red. You people in the UK are in such a serious state of denial that the EXTREME muslims are attempting to rid the world of Christianity. The proof is literally in your own backyard. TAKE YOUR HEADS OUT OF THE SAND AND FOR ONCE OPEN YOUR EYES.

    • Posted By: NavyVet08 @ 01/04/2008 6:34:23 PM

      you are a moron. stop talking. you haven't made a bit of sense all day long. go find something else to do with your "precious" time, you genius.

  • Posted By: variable1 @ 01/04/2008 6:34:14 PM

    Hey Bob put your reading glasses on. I NEVER stated that "all" muslims are out to get America, I only provided proof of one muslim (obama) who has past ties with THOSE extreme muslims that are out to exstinguish the world of Christianity, like his father.

  • Posted By: bertydome @ 01/04/2008 6:15:35 PM

    To variable1, like all the candidates, Barack Obama should be judged on his policies and his character and nothing else. Please do not let your paranoia and prejudice decide your vote.
    The way you put Muslim in capitals implies you have some inherent fear about all Muslims. Extremism against any people has no place in a free and civilised world, indeed that includes extreme Islam but that also includes extreme prejudice - so what if his parents divorced, so what if his mother was an aetheist. There is no proof that he is an extremist, your are merely speculating.
    What makes your country great is it claims to offer a chance to everyone, and has since its foundations been a land of opprtunity. People have benefitted from being American, and America itself has benefitted.

    I only hope you can rid yourself of these wild accustaions and make your decision in a rational way. If you truly believe in the "stars and stripes" and what they stand for, you should make your decision without prejudice.

      bertydome, you're jousting at windmills trying to reason with someone who obviously thinks as he's instructed by those peddle fear and hate, but I sure appreciate your sentiment.

  • Posted By: bertydome @ 01/04/2008 6:28:24 PM

    Variables1, your posting is completely unfounded, you provide no proof and your suggestion that all Muslims are out to get America is frankly ridiculous. Please see your statement being picked apart, with quotes from Obama himself on this link:
    http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp
    Americ is indeed a great country and no people should every feel the threat of extremism, but this works both ways, and your prejudice is extreme and unfounded.

    Barack Obama has got a long way to go.

    Judging by many of the comments on this board, bigotry, hatred, disinformation and simple stupidity is well and alive in the USA and the people who brought us George Bush are still kicking dirt..

    It took Tiger Woods a few years and a few Majors until people looked beyond the color of his skin and Barack Obama has not won a major yet.

      Can we stop with the race-baiting. Just because you disagree with or do not for Obama does not make you a racist. Are you sexists because you didn't vote for Billary? Are YOU sexists if you don't support Huckabee? People can disagree with a candidate, regardless of their race or gender.

    Now I see how you dems really are, when you can't back up or disprove information/facts, you attack someone out of total desperation, just lke the dems have been for the last 7 years. No one has YET to disprove the factual information that's posted here about obama. Okay, let's take a different approach. All the dems here ask yourself, if you find that what is posted about obama is true and factual, will you still support him?

    Hey annevilla, it's understandable that you came in late to the discussion but were you aware of the following FACTS? Now if you don't believe them, then post your facts/evidence to disprove these statements, otherwise remain silent.

    Who is Barack Hussien Obama? Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school". Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that he is not a radical. Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.
    Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran. Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor
    will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential
    candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out,
    what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!! Check it out at http://snopes.com/ Does the United States need/want a President that does not stand at attention to our Stars and Stripes and does not recite the Pledge of Allegiance? I pray and hope not.

    After reading many of the comments posted, I am sure that the only threat to America is the same old threat made by many of our own citizens who continue this same old dialogue based on fear of the unknown, hatred ot differences, ignorance of the facts,deceit in the name of religion, division based on racism, classism, sexism... all ism's- If the truth be told, we will destroy ourselves in due season by the seeds we continue to sow ourselves. Stop blaming everyone else in the world for the problems in the world- If you do not speak of solutions, then you are a part of the problem. If the truth be told, my dog might make a better president than all "hype' generated in the comments. At least a dog has enough sense to listen and to show respect. Any one of the candidates on the Democrat or Republican side in my opinion can make the President's position workable based on what I have seen and gained from experiencing the past results in the last 20 years. Experience, eloquence, change and all the other verbs or adjectives don't mean anything. But we do need a person with common sense, some intellect, respect for all humanity, ability to communicate effectively with all persons, cultures and nations and the ability to use other persons as all Presidents do- to get the job done. If you want to destroy America, just keep up the current dialogue. No President in the world can save you from your destiny! May the Best person win this presidential race and may we all use our wisdom in the voting process for the good of all humanity.

    We may not want him to be the Presidential Nominee but thats should not be a reason to question whether he is a true American. However, to answer the question; Hillary Clinton. She is not out of it yet!!!! I am now a believer in the polls or the ones that really matters. That being the case, all of the polls show that when you look at Michigan, Navarda, Florida, California, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Clinton can pull an upset . So, the 26th of this months will be important. She must stop him there. But if she doesnt, look for her to seal the deal on 5th Feb. I am too sure that, notwithstanding Obama's win in Iowa, New York, New Jersey, Cali and Florida will pick Clinton. It is a misconception to believe that Iowa is a sample of the US. So what happened in Iowa may, for the most part, stay in Iowa. He will be stopped and John Edwards is finish.
