Don't tell us McCain doesn't represent change!!! He is firmly in support of the Gay/Lesb/Trans community, recently meeting with reporters from the Washington Blade, a gay newspaper: http://www.washblade.com/thelatest/thelatest.cfm?blog_id=21367 John also has strong support from the Log Cabin Republicans, the gay republican group: http://online.logcabin.org/ and http://gays4mccain.com/ This man stands for change and progressive ideas, like nominating Sarah (the Barracuda)Palin as his VP. As a member of the gay community, my girlfriend and I endorse senator McCain, he isn't pandering to the low income earners wanting free healthcare or mortgages but good hard working, honest folk. The Gay community is 100% behind McCain and Palin. His war time experiences and being locked up for 5 years gave him an insight into our community that no other politician has, vote for McCain/Palin 2008!!! As my girlfriend likes to say the best years are AHEAD of us, not BEHIND us!!

I am curious how the polls are actually taken? I don't believe they are that accurate. I can't believe that voters of the middle class americans are voting who is actually an elitist. I haven't ever been asked or polled in regards to my political preference or the party I support.

If people in the midwest knew that Obama's chief campaign advisor, Valerie Bowman Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran and has both Iranian and American dual citizenships, then I doubt Obama would still be gaining. http://www.thehistorymakers.com/biography/biography.asp?bioindex=1388&category=CivicMakers http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2086135/posts http://www.iranian.com/main/singlepage/2008/valerie-jarrett http://sigcarlfred.blogspot.com/2008/08/something-else-obama-is-hiding-iranian.html Also, if people in the midwest knew about Obama's claim of having a "Muslim faith" to George Stephanapoulos on "This Week" (air date 9/7/08), he would not be gaining. Of course Obama claimed he made a mistake, but how does someone, as smart as Obama is suppose to be, become confused as to what their faith or religion is to the point of making a such a huge mistake? People need to use some common sense when thinking about the answer to the question.

James Carville said there would be riots if Obama wins the popular vote, but is not elected. But, would Obama supporters riot, if they learned He was ineligible for office? With whom would they be angry? If Senator Obama was actually born in Kenya and/or had Indonesian citizenship, would it matter to anyone? Maybe not to some Obama supporters, but I still hope that, as excited as they are, they may still honor the requirement of the Constitution that the President be a natural born citizen of this country. As a Constitutional lawyer, Senator Obama surely is aware of this requirement. How will all this be explained? That he was too young to know where he was born? That a day or so delay should not really matter. That he really feels patriotic toward the USA, so it should not matter that he did not take an oath of allegiance after becoming an Indonesian citizen? Maybe all of the above. The theme will be that it's simply not fair, and it’s not important. But, if absolutely none of this is true, couldn’t Senator Obama score some really big points for transparency by at least showing the judge the documents that would put this all to rest? Transparency is good, right? Yet, the lawsuit lingers. http://www.obamacrimes.com/

The American electorate doesn't care if Obama is an American citizen. They are bumbling toward an Obama presidency in spite of every piece of evidence that it will be a disaster for the country. They don't care that he had long-term partnerships with an unrepentant terrorist, with the radical cleric Rev. Wright who said "GD America" and advocates for Marxist movements. They don't care that Obama has shady involvements with the felon Rezko or worked with voter-fraud organization ACORN. They don't care that his advisors have included Franklin Raines, disgraced former head of Fannie Mae and engineer of the financial fiasco all of America is suffering through. They don't care that he is a Democrat, the party that fought against every major effort to reform Fannie and Freddie and the Community Re-investment Act that would have saved the country from the financial meltdown. They don't care that Obama will raise taxes on small businesses, cancel trade agreements, penalize private profits, and thereby drive this country into a full-blown Depression. They don't care that he has sworn to meet with our enemies without pre-conditions, attack nuclear powered Pakistan, allow Russia to take over Georgia, Ukraine, and other former Soviet entities, and otherwise engage in a reckless and amateurish foreign policy. They don't care that under an Obama presidency Isreal will be destroyed and taken over by Palestinians. They don't care that the man is a beginner, has no executive experience, and has the most liberal voting record of anyone in the Congress. They don't care that he has only radical principles, is dishonest and will say anything to get elected, all because "he talks real good".

Barack Obama is a power hungry Communist. We live in very serious times it is not the time for our country to elect a President who chums around with radical Terrorist and Communist friends. Voters better take a more serious look into Obama's past and the people behind his rise to politics. We must question their objective. Obama came out of no where, has no record but has a very shadey past. Obama's plan for America, 'wealth distribution' should be the fist red flag that Obama will lead America down the path of Communism. Barack Obama's bumper sticker: Obama One Nation One People From the 1930’s, Deutschland Ein Volk Ein Reich Ein Fuhrer

Re: SpecialistMC Wow, what a great confusion of concepts you managed to put together! First you call Obama a communist, and then you compare him to the nazis, which is the other extreme. Get your head straight and think before you write.

The Black guy has: Raised more money Better organization Better message Leading in all of the polls Still married to his first wife No out of wed lock pregnancies Speaks better than the white candidate Graduated at the top of his class while the white guy graduated near the bottom Is the calmer, not the angry one of the two Has the running mate with experience Has the better economic plan Is trusted to run this country better America has come a long way since the 1960s U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A I'm proud to be an American and proud to vote for the Obama/Biden ticket.

I'll take Senators with ties to convicted felons for $2000 Alex. Convicted in the Watergate debacle that saw the only resignation of a sitting president, G. Gordon Liddy's friend said on his radio show last November, "I'm proud of you, I'm proud of your family," he gushed. "It's always a pleasure for me to come on your program, Gordon, and congratulations on your continued success and adherence to the principles and philosophies that keep our nation great." Who is JOHN MCCAIN??? WHOOOOOEEEEEEE, bring on the tournament of champions!!!

Oh, MG, sorry about that gay business, I was just trying to rile up the no-minds that make up the greatest amount of blather here, like Pendamon, Karlin Phoenix, FecialistMC et-al. I figured if they knew McCain is actively seeking the gay vote they'd all have coronaries and stop posting...oh well, maybe they're like Larry Craig, tough on the outside but soft on the inside.

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?
