Let's see--Obama says he was right to oppose the surge but that it has worked? How does one square that circle? It's just another indication that Obama is not WRIGHT for America! BTW, check out www.notwrightforamerica.com. It's my favorite anti-Obama site, great commentary!

Gallup's latest poll results, a new 9-point lead for Obama, show McCain the problem with coming out with stupid comments like this one: He can't fool anyone anymore. He's got about as much credibility left as Bush or Karl Rove. I would counsel John McSame to listen to his new campaign managers and keep turning up the volume on rash, reckless, ill-advised comments like this one. It will give him a chance to get some much-needed rest, and ponder on the meaning of his life and legacy after he loses the Election by a landslide in 100 days, and takes the rest of the GOP with him.

The Iraq war should not have happened. The sooner it is over the better. I'm not sure how many people realize the amount of fuel being consumed by the military. Wouldn't it be nice to have that contract.

Now that President Bush endorses a "horizon" and the duly elected Iraq president supports a timetable like Obama's McCain has nothing postitive to say about the future of Iraq, so instead he has to try to slime Obama's patriotism as the only way to win the election. How sad, particularly from McCain who promised a responsible, honorable campaign on the issues.

There is nothing about Hussein Obama you could tell his supports to convince them what a dangerous Marxist he is. He just blew it when he went onto foreign soil, urinated on the US, ignored our wounded soldier, and lied about it. Many sites like this one are overrun by paid, Hussein Obama spammers... but they will never change the fact that Hussein did not get more than 40 percent of the white vote in any primary. It is highly unlikely that a closet-Muslim who hates this country can be elected. People will not let the country be completely taken over by the Rev. Wright, Luis Farrakhan, Hussein Obama and Barney Frank types. We did not fight for this country so that woman could kill their babies and men could marry men.

SDIndependent: I'm trying to figure out where you are coming from. Are you a Marxist, Communist, Kooky liberal? Since you feel our system is so bad why live here. Everyone is scam artist, lobbyist for multinational corporations, you sound like someone from the sixties. They were mouthing off the same thing back then. Back to reality, Hussein is not the messiah, he is just a Chicago trained politician with the gift of gab, an empty suit

In spite of the determined attempts of the Obama handlers to obfuscate the details concerning Obama's subversive background, more and more Americans are seeing thru the Obama charade; and, are making an objective appraisal based on their own intelligence of the historical facts which are irrefutable. Obama is neither Christian nor Muslim. Unless he has had one of his very frequent epiphanies in the last week or two, he is a disciple and practitioner of Black Liberation Theology whose tenants have been amply articulated by Jeremiah Wright and James Cone. For 20yrs. Obama, under the tutorial of the fanatical Reverend Wright, immersed himself and his family in Black Liberation Theology, a Marxist derivative which rejects Christianity; and, which professes that the White race is equivalent to the Devil. It's amazing that anyone would be shocked at Obama's perverted view of the Bible. Rev. Wright's mentor, Black Liberation theologian, James Cone, in his book "For My People" states: "The Christian faith does not possess in its nature the means for analyzing the structure of capitalism. Marxism, as a tool of social analysis, can disclose the gap between appearance and reality, and thereby help Christians to see how things really are." It is this logic, reinforced by his mother who was an avowed Marxist, which has schooled Obama to seek economic parity in America thru income redistribution; i.e. Marxist Socialism; and, is an overriding theme of his campaign. Obama's repeated references to "economic parity" and "social justice" are simply Marxist jargon for "Taking more from you and giving it to others for the common good". Further, noone should be surprised at Obama's proclamation that American is NOT a Christian Nation. Although the Obama campaign has painstakingly attempted to lay a smokescreen to confuse the past religious associations of their candidate, hopefully a Christian America will send Obama an unmistakable message in November. It's what you get with an un-vetted candidate whose only skill is reciting a text from a teleprompter while even Jesse Jackson admits Obama arrogantly looks down his nose and "talks down to the audience." A characteristic which was front and center in Obama's comments about bitter folks in Small Town America who "Cling to their religion." Greg Neubeck

Sorry, but I'm having a little trouble understanding Senator McCain when he talks about WINNING the war. Correct me if I'm wrong, but by all reasonable accounts, hasn't the Iraq war already been won? I'm mean, Sadaam has gone, there are no weapons of mass distruction, etc. The only thing left are the conditions of our withdrawl. Okay, we destablized the place so we should try to leave some order. It would be nice, but not critical, if we could leave a friendly democratic government. So when McCain talks about winning I don't understand what he means. Surely he can't be talking about occupation and confiscating Iraqi oil...can he?

Question of the day

White House officials and Senate Democrats met in private three times last week to craft health care legislation. Do you think these discussions should be more public?
