    Are all of you that object to the facts that have been posted about Obama that gullible? Have any of you done the research to prove these facts about Obama. Are you people THAT trusting of candidates who have a shady background and I mean having been to a a Wahabi school in Jakarta? Do you really want a President that does not support the values of what made this country so great. The facts that have been posted about Obama would never be reported via newspaper/television because the news media is YELLOW, and BIAS and does not report on the truth and facts. I challenge everyone to disprove these facts. Are you up for the challenge or will you continue to believe whatever the media reports? Wake up people the liberals are desperate and will believe anything if it sounds good but if it does not sound good then they will go stick their heads back in the sand and remain in a constant state of denial.

      Comment: Funny you use www.snopes.com to support your position on the pledge of allegiance, but ignore the snopes posting proving that your Koran / Inauguration smear is totally false.

      Christians will lie if it suits their purpose.

    You are living in denial because you have established an emotional stand on the issue. Once you allow your emotions to overcome your rational way of thinking your a goner. You are refusing to believe the facts that have been posted about Obama and his non Christian beliefs because your allowing your emotions to make your choices for you. What has been posted about Obama is REAL and FACTUAL. If you wish to continue to stick your head in the sand and believe only what you want to believe then go right ahead but you are wrong and FACTS DO NOT LIE or have emotions. I suggest that you stop listening to what the liberal media only wishes to portray about Obama and do your research and confirm the facts that have been posted about this non Christian/patriot.

    I agree with the coment that if oboma wins I wil probably vote reprulican. It is not becase of raceism. Raceism is what is getting him votes. It is bacause of all his votes of "present" not yes or no on issues. A president need to vote on what he stands for not just voice it.

      You need to learn to spell and use a spell-checker! If this is the best that US education can do, we are in bigger trouble than I realized.

      And does Canada ask our opinion when they propose legislation or elect a new PM? Why should we care how the rest of the 'world' views us? Many people of the 'world' loved Hilter, Marx, Lenin and Poh Pot...

    Firstly let me state that I'm undecided at this point and I understand that Iowa does not speak for United States. However, the year is 2008 an electronic age where the world is watching. How can we call ourselves the United States and expect the world to respect us when we are so divided. We find happiness in sprewing character assasination based on "his"tory, "her"story, and the rhetoric and biases of others rather than seeking truth for self by getting to know candidates personally. We find happiness in sprewing ignorant and closed minded behaviors and thoughts that justify our own fears without seeking truth. We find happiness by making racial, sexist, and religious inuendo without looking at the person. We find happiness making sure that we stand divided as a country rather than united. We find happiness in sprewing our values on others (the world), even though we have "dirt " in our closets and filth in our "backyards". We are the UNITED STATES of AMERICA.

    Wake Up!!! " If a kingdom is divded against itself , that kingdom cannot stand. If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand." Mark 3:24-25 We are our own worst enemy, we terrorize each other by espousing holier than thou attitudes towards our fellow men. We would rather call someone left winged, right winged, liberal, or conservative, rather than seeking the good from all to make a "whole". We would rather bring up flaws in others. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye...You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. Luke 6:41,42 Wake up and face the true issues of the United States that effect each and every life. We do not live in our own private bubble that's impermeable by our surroundings. Crime, poverty, health care, high cost of living, etc. has a "trickle down" affect that we all are a part of and pay for in one way or another. Saying we are the UNITED STATES of AMERICA is one thing, howevr, it's time for us to SHOW the world that we are TRULY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

    I know I've been speaking to the choir, and those who fear themself will continue to espouse their fear on others. Have a Blessed Day and God Bless America, we need it.

      I liked what you wrote until you started quoting scripture. Keep your religious opinion out of politics, PLEASE. The constitution specifically states that there shall and forever will be a separation between CHURCH and STATE. Read it!! Oh, wait, nevermind. Your ilk have grown so adept at picking and choosing biblical passages to suit your own twisted reality, I suppose you can do that with the constitution as well.

      • Posted By: United_We_Stand @ 01/04/2008 1:02:14 PM

        First of all should the message be dismissed just because of biblical quotes. Secondly, my quoting scripture was to those who profess they are Christians and believe to 1st look at themselves before putting another down.

      • Posted By: dewcooper @ 01/04/2008 11:37:39 AM

        The Constitute ACTUAL says in the 1st Ammendment, the Federal government will make no laws establishing religion OR prohibiting the free expression there of. In other words, the governemnt cannot establish a national religion nor can it stop the people from practicing their religion. It does not seperate the two, but recognizes religion as a right given to us BY OUR CREATOR that should not be hampered by government.

        Seperation of church and state is a term taken seriously out of context from a letter Jefferson wrote many years later regarding voting and church membership.

    • Posted By: dewcooper @ 01/04/2008 11:10:25 AM

      There once was a country that was completely united. There was no discussion of differences and everyone was said to be 'equal'. They had free education, free healthcare. It was the United Soviet Socialists Republic, and while the world watch on, they murdered hundreds of thousands of people, and many countries wanted to be just like them.

      I prefer our freedom to openly disagree, regardless of what the world may think. When was the last time that they asked for our opinion on what THEY do?

      • Posted By: United_We_Stand @ 01/04/2008 12:59:09 PM

        It'sobvious you missed the point of what I was saying, which is to focus on the issues and not allow your own personal fears or agendas to prevent you from finding the most qualified candidate of the choices we are given. I too love this country for having the freedom of speech, however I believe ones who do not stick with issue at hand show find a site to express their thoughts there instead of clouding the issues with ignorance, and frivilous reasoning. Finally, you are right what other country has asked us anything, yet we surely let them know what they should do and think.

    NO! THE REAL QUESTION IS:

    I know YOU AT LEAST will join in the crusade to stop THOSE ANTI-GOD MORMONS!

        You two are so wrong on so many levels. Get a grip and a life. Every individual has the right to dream and achieve regardless of color, religion, ect. ect. You two certainly need to wake up and realize that the majority of our country men/women does not give a rats @#? about their beginnings just where they can take our country. Get some education.

  • Posted By: Texayorker @ 01/04/2008 12:59:28 PM

    I simply cannot vote for someone with so little experience in politics. Barack practically anoounced his candidacy the first day he was a senator! Obama strikes me as power hungry and arrogant. I could care less about the religion of a president, only that they can lead in a strong fashion and stand up for the people, and protect what's left of our Constitution that Bush has torn to shreds.

  • Posted By: royalviking @ 01/04/2008 11:08:38 AM

    At the very least in terms of rhetorical skills and bearing, Barack Obama is the real deal. Just compare his speech last night with those of the other candidates. While Edwards and Clinton plod along, Obama incandesces. It might very well be written in the stars, as it were, that Obama become the next president of the United States, because he's that rare individual: a political artist. He's clearly superior to the rest of the field, Republicans included. Viva Obama!

    John Edwards is the ONLY candidate that Americans should consider. Listen carefully to all the candidates and remember.. we're putting our lives and our future in their hands. Vote responsibly. Vote John Edwards.

    • Posted By: dewcooper @ 01/04/2008 12:53:59 PM

      Wasn't Edwards the one who claimed in court that he was 'channeling' a dead little girl? Also, didn't he make millions sueing doctor's who delivered children with cerebral palsey? Gives me the warm fuzzies...

    No matter how they play him up. It hurts me to say that this country will not vote a black man president.I'm a black man is this country and I know first hand that racism is still alive and well and no matter how many indorsrment he gets it's only a show for the outside world that don't really know the united states of america.

      I rebuke that and such statements and mind-sets in the name of Jesus and on his poweful blood God's protection will be encamped around OBama and his family. In Jesus name, Amen and Amen.

  • Posted By: Jbrad1234 @ 01/04/2008 12:41:41 PM

    Obama is more American, then you.

    This comment is nothing more than a pack of lies. Obama is an American that practices Christianity. He never attended a radical school and he is strong on the terror fight. Not all Muslims are bad. As a matter of fact it is less than 1/2 of a percent that are radical muslims. Because he came from a Muslim background can only help us to unite with Muslim nations to try and end the radical movement. The days of winning the war on terrror by stomping them out is over. It is never going to hapen, just like the war on drugs. Wake up. They are breeding little terrorists and they will do the same. We nee a new approach, and Obama is in tume with this. Learn the truth about Obama and you will see he is the only real choice for the Presidency. The rest are cut from the same political cloth. He is the only candidate I trust.
    Why is it the uneducated people are always the ones that cut people down without knowing the real facts?

  • Posted By: marklc @ 01/04/2008 12:40:29 PM

    Sorry I don't beleive less than 6% of the registered voters in Iowa are going to determine who the next president is..

  • Posted By: OB1CANOBEE @ 01/04/2008 10:34:15 AM

    I HAVE COME UP WITH A FAIR TAX PLAN THAT TREATS EVERYONE THE SAME. HERE IS HOW IT WORKS. ON PERONAL INCOME TAX WE DO AWAY WITH ALL DEDUCTIONS. SECOND EVERY ONES FIRST 10000 IS TAXED AT TH SAME RATE. THE NEXT TEN THOUSAND IS TAXED AT A HIGHER RATE AND THIS CONTINUES TILL YOU TOP OUT AT A 40% TAX RATE . IT WOULS START OUT AT 3% FOR THE FIRST 10000, 6% FOR THE SECOND 10000, 9% FOR THE 3RD 10000, 12% FOR THE 4TH 10000, 16% FOR THE 5TH 10000, 20% FOR THE 6TH 10000, 25% FOR THE 7TH 10000, 30% FOR THE 8TH 10000, 35% FOR THE 9TH 10000, AND 40% FOR THE 10TH 10000. WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT ONCE YOUR EARNINGS MEET 90001 AND ABOVE THEY WOULD BE TAXED AT THIS 40% TAX BRACKET. ALL MONEY 90000 AND BELOW WOULD BE TAXED AT THE INDIVIDUAL TAX BRACKETS. SO YOUR FIRST 10000 WOULD BETAXED AT THE 3% LEVEL AND AT EACH 10000 OF EARNING YOU WOULD PROGRESS INTO THE NEXT TAX BRACKET. i DONT SEE HOW ANYONE CAN SAY THIS IS NOT A FAIR TAX PLAN . THE RICH MAN PAYS THE SAME AMOUNT ON HIS 1ST 10000 AS THE POOR MAN AND AS HE HE MAKES MORE MONEY INA YEAR HE PROGRESSES INTO THE NEXT TAX BRACKET. I BELEIVE THIS IS AVERY SIMPLE AND FAIR APPROACH. EVERYONE PAYS THEIR FAIR SHARE

    • Posted By: dragon19c @ 01/04/2008 12:40:22 PM

      Everyone should pay taxs, 5% flat tax . If you get $100.00 in welfare you pay $5.00 in taxs. Everyone Pays!! No loop holes. Everyone from B Gates to the prisoners in the pen.

    • Posted By: dewcooper @ 01/04/2008 10:42:53 AM

      I have a fairer tax plan - NO TAXES! If the governemnt can't run itself on all of the tarifs that it collects, it is wasting too much money. Return the power to the States and to the people.

      • Posted By: COConnell53 @ 01/04/2008 11:02:59 AM

        The government will never EVER rely on tariffs because tariffs wreak absolute havoc on the economy. Also, fundamentally, I think it's fine for the government to ask for the people who are going to be using the roads to help pay to pave them. Same with all of the other services the government provides and should provide.

        This isn't the 18th century, we can't rely on tariffs and never have taxes. Wake up!

        • Posted By: dewcooper @ 01/04/2008 11:42:59 AM

          Actually, we did just fine until about 80 years ago (hardly the 18th century). And the states pay for the roads, they are just forced to give the federal government their cut first. As far as the services they provide, must of us never use them, and the service provided by these 'services' is hardly adiquate. How good has the Dept. of Education been? How about the Social Security Administration? Dept of HHS? Veteran's Affairs? Why is it that people say we need these services provided by the Feds, and then complain every year (regardless of president) about how terrible the service is?

    First of all if you don't vote, then don't complain. Whomever we elect in White House (really elect, not Supreme Court appointed), let's pray - yes pray, this country was built on prayer. Pray that our leaders bring export jobs back to the U.S. Educate those who are incarcerated (no education/job training won't help anyone) and do something quickly about health care. We are a great country with all types of medical resources; the poor deserve good medical care just as the wealthy. Please stop the war! Bring our your people home.
