Although, I personally am so far to the left, that even the even the democrats appear to me to be "right-wing," I certainly hope that they win this election. If they don't, I fear that this country, indeed the entire planet is in serious trouble. The war that the conservatives have rekindled against the Muslim nations is already likely to last for years, if not centuries. Hopefully, Obama can do something to ease the tension. This war is really a continuation of the holy wars that began so many thousands of years ago. And unfortunately, it appears that religion has shown itself to be the biggest catalyst of hatred that the human race will ever see. I invite you to my website: www.FreetheGods.com. There you will find a political discussion forum where political ranting is highly encouraged, especially opposing viewpoints!

The majority of this article is about Obama's foreign campaign and lack of transparency issues and yet it is normalized through the headline "candidates". When is the filtering going to end?

Fortunately for us all, every now and again, a cause will come along that will stir the soul and passions. What cause could be more important that standing tall against those who could be seeking to undermine our legal system for electing the President of The United States of America? Please Read a Letter to Philip Berg Regarding Berg v. Obama. http://zachjonesishome.wordpress.com/2008/10/26/letter-to-philip-berg-regarding-berg-v-obama/

Thank you, ZachJonesIsAtHome, for the informative Philip Berg letter. If we wait too long, to clear up the mystery of Barack Hussein Obama's birth and, more importantly, the residency status of his father at the time of Hussein's birth, America may rue the day we failed to heed the warning of the bald-headed democrat propagandist(I forget his name, the word "obnoxious" comes to mind) who said there would be a revolution if Obama lost the election. What would happen if it were neccessary to oust him after election, for failing to meet the requirements for someone born outside the 50 states to run for president??

This article shows the need for REAL campaign reform, disclosure. All major sources and applications of funds need to be FULLY disclosed. Anonymous donations must be specifically banned with a strong fraud penalty attached. Also these games clearly show the futility of trying to limit individual contributions. In the interest of democracy, full disclosure must be REQUIRED.

Yes, Scottdavene, Obama will certainly ease the tension between us and our attackers, by surrendering!! Also ease population pressure in many parts of the world which will overnight fall under Muslim domination. One is reminded of the last great expansion of the Ottoman empire which resulted in hundreds of years of economic slavery in the Balkans, and the death of millions of christian Greeks and Armenians, and many other nationalities, already forgotten,which were simply annihilated.

To all of the folks out there who would like to make the federal election an accounting exercise; The only overseas money should come from temporary expatriates, and that should be drawn from American banks!! As for Barack Hussein, immediately investigate big Arab-"American" donors like Mr. Rezco and Mr. Mansour, on suspicion of laundering millions of oil dollars for use by the "messiah"! And the same process should apply to all!

This article is NONSENSE. First of all Obama does not have the software installed on his internet donations to screen out those donations with fictitious names that do not match an actual address. McCain, like Hillary Clinton, had that software on his site, much like on PayPal. Any donation to McCain would not process without an ACTUAL address matching the billing records of the credit card used. Consequently, Obama has donors with names like "Osama bin Laden", "Sadam Hussein", and "Joe The Plumber" as well as nonsense names, sending in millions of undocumented money. This is a scandal and election fraud. In fact, OBAMA HAS NEVER YET BEEN ELECTED TO OFFICE IN A CLEAN CAMPAIGN. HE HAS CHEATED IN EVERY ONE OF HIS ELECTIONS TO DATE.

From the way this article is written; it appears that the FEC is pretty much saying that Obama's millions are no big deal, but made a point - to mention the million that McCain apparently received "according to the Federal Election Commission records. Well, could it be that the FEC is also in the tank for Obama?...because the FEC certainly didn't do their job a year ago - when Obama was thought to run for president. The FEC should have made it MANDATORY to have both candidates submit documentation of who they legally are. This is a travesty of the OBAMA NATION.

handle_the_truth

Since the media and it appears that our Federal Justice of our government aren't doing anything about Obama's tainted past and present...what are we Americans supposed to do about this..besides make sure there's a big win for McCain - so we continue to keep our Democracy!!! We Americans sure got a very important education this election. A sad one, yet eye opening.

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?
