While Obama was in Hawaii, we were reminded that in Oct 2001, McCain spoke propaganda to lead the US to war, the Bush/Cheney war in Iraq, by going on Letterman and claiming he has a source that knew that the IRAQI's did the anthrax attack. We were reminded this week, because the FBI said the attack was committed with American made anthrax by an American. That means that McCain carried the water for false propaganda. That's a crime. To lead the US to war (in this case against Iraq) by using false propaganda, is a crime. Ask McCain who his source is, under oath before the Senate Intelligence committee.

The title should read: OBAMA LOST NO GROUND WITH AFRICAN AMERICANS Ninety percent of African Americans will vote for Obama because they believe he is one of them. In reality, he had a white mother, was raised by a white grandmother and went to white schools. He is an elitist who could not identify with blacks until he was tutored by Rev. Wright for 20 years on how to sound black. To solidify the black base, Obama has hinted at reparations and has suggested that he will increase the side of government. He will take more from working people and increase the size of the welfare rolls. Obama is exactly like the Democrats of the 1860's that were reborn in the 1960's. LBJ and his cronies figured out a way to put "culled folk" ban into bondage. The idea was welfare. Welfare is slavery because why would a peron on the public dole vote anything but a welfare raise? It was a brilliant idea. Get them on welfare, keep them lazy, give them a monthly stipend and you are guaranteed a vote. The Obama plan: Keep them down. Keep them beholden. Keep them in the projects. Liberal Democrat = Plantation Massuh

It is not yet time for John McCain to unfurl his attack flag! He is running a neck in neck race against an opponent who should be miles ahead by now. The real story should be why can't Obama break away in this environment? It is because he is unknown and the more that the American people know about him the less they like. In November, McCain will be the winner!

This means that the voters have already decided. With as much publicity as has been involved, only a significant event will change their minds. There are enough of those opportunities going on right now. We shall see.

With the "latest Gallup and Rasmussen tracking polls Friday- either tied or with Mr. Obama having a statistically insignificant lead" this election is not on holidays and is far from over. The voters must continue to take and long and hard look at what the Junior Senator Barack Hussein Obama has to offer American voters, other than he appears to be part & parcel of the corrupt Chicago Daley gang,is a nonwhite arrogant male; a naive and vague politician; has (4) four years experience as a Junior Senator, is an untested confused leader; is supported by an infamous narcissistic reverend and priest plus “Tony” Rezko; has Ms. Hauser, Messrs. Chafee and Leach support; his picture does not appear on any us currency; and whose wife until recently did not like America. Keep smiling

In 8 years in office George Bush has spent cumulatively nearly 3 of them on vacation. Cheney was often in "undisclosed locations" and has yet to disclose the terms of his top secret energy plan with big oil. This is not the "Government of/for/by the People" our founding fathers intended -it is exactly what they feared. I'm voting for the not-perfect-but-less-evil democrat this time. I am sick of big government and big oil and big business winning against the taxpayers.

Like the common cold that killed the Martians in The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, The Great and Powerful Ozama will be brought down by a seemingly trivial infection: hubris. I am afraid it's quite fatal.

I have a horrible confession to make: I voted for Jimmy Carter and voted twice for Bill Clinton and now fully admit I made a huge mistake. Jimmy Carter, by every measure that exists, was the worst President in US History. I am ashamed of him. Bill Clinton's shames are also very public. I will never make these kind of mistakes again. Obama is a kid yet he is a corrupt politician already. He is not for "Change"---he is for corrupt, dirty politics-as-usual, and the status quo. He is the puppet of the slimy Chicago political scene and in the pocket of the Marxists. There is NO EVIDENCE of his being for "Change" in his short, little career. NONE. If he gets elected we will all look back on the Bush years wishing for them to return. a vote for Obama is a vote for CATASTROPHE. I am voting for McCain.

Net win for Obama. McCain needed to make some progress this week, with every paper in America looking for something, anything from his campaign. McCain's response to the Georgia-Putin chance looked good at first, but has sunk into embarrassment and confusion. Sending his surrogates on a field trip to the battle zone was a mistake, and once again made him look foolish. And to the little racists below, John Kerry received close to 90% support from African Americans, too. Was he Black? No. Buffoon Michael Steele, an African American, lost his bid to the Senate to Michael Cardin, a White man, by double digits. Why? Because African Americans understand that the Democratic Party offers them better answers to their issues and concerns. The GOP has been turned into the party of racist Whites living in the states of the Confederacy. Let's see how far that gets you in the Elections.

Pendamon. We forgive you for the Carter - Clinton mistakes. You were younger during those elections. You have made amends by thinking for yourself and studying the presidential candidates. You didn't allow yourself to get caught up in the corrupt media's hype. Hussein Obama and his angry, anti-American wife are the most dangerous people to ever attempt a White House takeover. As more comes out about him, working people are going to turn away. The lazy and the welfare queens will vote for him, no matter what, because they want bigger government and more handouts. Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, Jane Fonda, Luis Farrahakan, Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, George Clooney (and the like) will support him because they like his socialist views. O.J. is still holding out.

NObama please. He will be the total ruination of this great country. How could any rational human being want someone who supports partial birth abortion as its country's leader? It distresses me to think that that anit-American wife of his could actually sleep in the same bed as Jackie Kennedy and Nancy Reagan. God help us. I will never accept these 2 as our leaders. Hussein still hasn't put forth a real birth certificate; the one he is showing us lists him as African-American; back in those days, that is not the term that was used; it was Negro! Maybe the National Enquirer will uncover the real truth. He has lied about having no Islamic background. My God: the man is a closet Muslim!!!!!!!!!He considers babies punishment!! LOOK at his associations--all rot! He flip flops because he knows nothing. He has no experience. He is even ashamed of his typical white grandmother. He is a racist, a blatant liar, and an arrogant, useless individual.

Wow nokatrina, that's pretty harsh. Where are you insinuating Obama was born if not Hawaii? McCain was born in Panama, maybe he's a Manuel Noriega puppet. Where was Barack born sir?

Garland

Mag7: I think it a waste of time to respond to your ignorant posts. I suspect that you are on the Obama payroll. You are constantly attacking McCain with false statements. His birthplace was Panama because that's where his mother happened to be when he was born. Does that make any sense to you? His dad was a Navy officer station there. Both of his parents were Americans and by law, he became an American citizen at birth. Your candidate was born to an American-hating Muslim from Kenya and a socialist, atheist, mother. There are many who believe that your Messiah may have been born in Kenya. Just released recently are school documents from Indonesia which list Obama's religion as ISLAMIC.

Mag7

Garland, thank you for seeing my point. Yes McCain was born to a Navy family in Panama, which is just as honorable as being born in Hawaii. Yet on these posts I see Obama being constantly attacked and ribiculed under the guise of Christianity. Very un-Jesus mind you. I see you refer to him as Hussein, his middle name. Are you insinuating he is a Muslim? I think you are. I see so much cowardness here it is disgusting. Books are written trying to challenge his faith, by people who are amazingly corrupt. By all means you can refrain from replying, but I have a right to be here and you're upset about it.
