Funnie how in 2000 Fox trashed McCain and now he is their American hero a-la-carte.

experience in public office is overvalued. bush surrounded himself with very experienced hawks with decades in government, and their judgment was awful.

I don't think Obama is qualified to be president. He is supposed to be a problem solving super man. I watched him last week let a heckler follow him around for hours and
really get his goat. Anyone who would allow this to happen is no problem solver or show any, I mean any, leadership skills. My goodness, how could this happen? What a bonehead.

Forget it mccain, go home. The planet does not need your way-too-old warmongering a_s in the White House. If the despicably evil "w"/DICKY regime doesn't beat you to it, you will probably have us in Iran on your second day of office. I have no love for either of your possible opponents but with one of them there is the possibility of the troops coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan. Not another life or $ should be spent for you war nuts. Ken

McCain is a good and honorable man -- an American hero.

He will not be elected President because he has chosen to throw himself on the "live grenade" of the Bush legacy. That terrible legacy - now grown to the explosive size of a 500 lb bomb - will doom Mr. McCain's valient effort to a second place finish.

But, God love him, he is a worthy opponent and together with Barack Obama provides us are fair and distinct choice in November.

So, Chief, you discount a candidate solely because of the way he handled somebody bugging him for a photograph? I hope you don't vote in November.

Really, Chief, please stay home.

Kerry is right, McCain of today is a far cry from the rational, bipartisan-minded leader of the past. It's sad to see him fall so far and take such horrendous positions. And Chris Wallace is a total joke, I can't believe he had the nerve to ask such an offensive, loaded question on air.

Juan McWar is the most qualified to bring the country to financial ruin.

McCain is being disingenuous about his "100 years" comment. Polls show the majority of Iraqis are opposed to any U.S. military presence in Iraq. So he's talking about a permanent deployment of U.S. troops in a country where, unlike South Korea or West Germany, most of the population is openly hostile to them. That sounds like a formula for a 100-year insurgency, which means many more American lives will be lost.

Why would anyone vote for someone who voted for, supported, or thought the Iraq war was a good idea.

Let me make it easier.

How dumb are you?

We already have an ignoramus as President when it comes to understanding the world we live in.

We don't need another.

It's sad when even one's potential opponent (McCain) can acknowledge you're qualified and your primary contender (Clinton) cannot.

As an aside, had no idea that McCain has flip-flopped on so many issues. The MLK one is the saddest. Wonder what on earth his rationale could have been for opposing an MLK national holiday?

Bush was exposed as a liar and a dick. The right supported him wholeheartedly through his worst decisions, and had a change of heart only in response to clear public condemnation of Bush and his policies. Their new attempt to distance themselves rings hollow. It wasn't long ago that the Republicans ran the federal government, every branch, and they were abusively gleeful and foolish. Look at the headlines from, say 2004 or 2005, and ask yourself why anyone should trust anything they have to say now. I always supposed the right, whatever their public pitch, always came down on the side of elitism and greed, couldn't give a damn about the common good. Though it's interesting to see them so hypocritical, so much for the courage of their convictions, or any real display of strength.

What a terrible example "seasoned" politicians are setting for our youth.
Ten steps to shame.
One: There was a general consensus that there are DNC rules to be followed to avoid that states, during primaries, move dates around to position themselves at their whim.
Two: States were warned and two basically flipped the DNC off.
Three: Other states that had their placement tied into their own rules had to then move around their own primaries as a result of Two.
Four: The candidates were asked to sign a pledge. They did.
Five: Sen. Clinton remarks: "Well, you know, It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything"
Six: Sen. Clinton now needs the votes.
Seven: Clinton now reneges on her pledge and starts demanding that the vote count.
Eight: Dean who has unfairly been made the scapegoat, now backs off and wants a compromise/
Nine: All the other states, who would have liked to choose their own dates now realize that following the rules is only for chumps.
Ten: Those watching this fiasco including those new young members of our party watch and learn.
This tragedy of disenfranchising voters was not triggered by Dean and the DNC, it was triggered by the injudicious actions of the leaders of these states, and fueled by the one candidate whose signature on the pledge was not worth the paper it was written in.

Why would anyone vote for someone who voted for, supported, or thought the Iraq war was a good idea.

Let me make it easier.

How dumb are you?

Umm Chief. You want to answer this.
The reason you gave not to vote for Obama is pretty dumb.

There is no doubt that Mccain is the most qualified person to be President. Then Hillary would be second and last Obuma. Mccain is only saying that Obuma is qualified to make the Black people happy. Obuma is not anything more than a Black racist who wants to be the "man". I have no idea how any White could vote for him..ever. Have you ever seen anything that Obuma has touched and not messed up.

Atten: Mr. Goldfarb. Re: Your column of 4-07--08. I am of the opinion that none of the three remaining candidates is qualified. It would be great if some one like Gov. Ed Rendell of Pa. was a candidate. He is really qualified, by experience, record and qualifications.

Wonder what on earth his rationale could have been for opposing an MLK national holiday?

Republicans are racist.
Always were always will be.

Nothing has changed.
They just changed there names from the Dixiecrats to Social and Christian conservatives.

It was only 20 years ago they were known as
the party of Racists.

They tried to change there image by accepting Blacks into there ranks.

The ones they accepted would sell a ship of slaves in a second.

Hillary thinks Obama is not qualified to be President... McCain thinks Obama is "absolutely" qualified... something is horribly wrong with this picture.

Can anyone say Madame President?????

I do not like the policies of John McCain.
But there is a significant difference between him and George W. Bush. John McCain is a true gentleman. He has a lot of class. He says that Barack Obama is definitely qualified to be President. Hillary Clinton says the Barack Obama is not qualified to be president. That is really a shame, for a Democratic opponent to say something like that. John McCain has a lot of class. He refuses to stoop to ugly, negative attacks. And, although I would like to see Barack Obama be President, John McCain would be an improvement over what we have now. There is a feeling in this country that in less than a year we will be free again!

A Comment about Sen Mc Cain

Sen McCain's seems to want voters to think that experience as a prisoner of war somehow makes him qualified or more entitled to be president. While he did his duty with honor, that experience does not equip him for the job. It simply raises serious questions about the effect long term torture has had on him. That war was also a disastrous choice and like minded persons chose to remain there in spite of reality. But when he talks about Viet Nam it is obvious he would have stayed.

His comfort with warring choices also makes me uncomfortable because it demonstrates he is out of touch with the majority of the country he wants to lead. Yes, he would be another war president, with a resume to show for it. Another war president when what the country clamors is for peace and a person that can make the choice for peace.

The sad thing is, these terrible Internet stats aside, McCain is the most experienced and stately;

Obama vs Clinton vs McCain -

pjkiger1,

your post makes no sense whatsoever. the whole Democratic strategy to divert attention from their blatant and dishonest distortion of john mccain's words by claiming that their real beef is with Mccain's choice of metaphor does not even pass the laugh test.

obviously, you could just as easily find a distinction b/t germany and korea and, if you wanted, use that as a reason to find fault with ANY attempt to compare the two situations on ANY grounds. it would be axiomatic.

mccain's point was obvious, and the "distinction" that you slickly try to use as a wedge does not change the fact that no american casualties in iraq is no different than no american casualties in korea or germany, which has been the case for 40+ years even though we've had tens of thousands american troops in those countries.

Senator McCain is an honorable man. He acknowledges that Obama would make a great President. Obama's Democratic "colleague" Hillary Clinton distorts Obama's and her historical record with her lies. She condemns Obama for his eloquence--"Just words." But Bill Clinton's speeches have earned the Clinton Dynasty over 50 million dollars, many of those millions from fat cat corporations whose lobbyists donate Hillary's campaign megabucks in exchange for her listening to their words. Hillary's books make her more multimillions--just words? Bill is paid even more multimillions for "advice" to companies with shady business practices that the Feds are investigating. The Clintons' ten million for "charity" go to the Clinton Family Foundation, run by Bill, Hill and Chelsea, an obvious tax-dodge that also allows them to use "charity" funds to influence superdelegates. Their tax returns show us a model of one hand greasing the other. Hillary can lie about identifying with blue-collar women, but she pays her housecleaners over $40,000 each year, more than blue-collar women earn a year. The Clintons made 109 million dollars in seven years. And she has the audacity to ask blue-collar women to send their few hard-earned dollars to her campaign. The audacity of being shame-less!

Well, I think that this 'election' is also right on the ragged edge of just being an absolute FRAUD. Waffles with a side of double-talk and a dusting of sheer incompetence, anyone? Don't forget the corruption fries in greed sauce! Excellent!

LOL
P.S. Where's the OTHER 5.6 million 'absolutely' qualified Candidates for this Selection? Look, $8.05/hr, I'll even go 35 hours a week, rest will be volunteer hours. You're not going to see another bargain Candidate like me! Vote for Bert! Vote for Bert! Youuuuuu muuuust vooote forrrrr Berrrrrt....youuuu arrrrre geeetting verrrrry sleeeeepy.... (~)z(~)

Hey Chief, how would you react if someone were hounding you incessantly to get a photgraph with you to sell on e-Bay if you were somebody important, which you are not? Would you punch him in the mouth? If you did that and were running for president, you would lose the election. Barack Obama told the man he was getting on his last nerve. I thought that he handled it quite well, actually.

McCain should have be charged with collaboration with the enemy.

Fox "News"..not reallyh a news show, but rather an opinion program for ultra-conservative right wing nuts.

It is people who work for Fox..who publish their propaganda results in views and opinions which have not place in today's political scene.

Frankly, I hate to watch Fox news when on the AFN TV because of the extreme bias views, opinions and commentary..In fact, one night a couple of the soldiers threw their biscuts at the TV in disgust...

Anyone who thinks Obama is a 'black racist' should read the Audacity of Hope objectively. Get truly informed before you make such poor and inaccurate statements (This is also for you Ms Coulter)

Fox; Mr. McCain, please tell us your qualifications.

McCain; For what?

Fox; You're running aren't you?

McCain; Oh my goodness no. I haven't run since I was young. My knees can't take it.

Fox; No, aren't you running for president?

McCain; I don't think so. I better ask Cindy. Cindy? Am I running for president?

Cindy; Yes dear, I believe you are.

McCain; Well, I'm glad we got that straightened out. I guess I am.

Fox; Splendid. Now why do you say you are most qualified?

McCain; Qualified for what?

Fox; To run for president.

McCain; I am?

Cindy; Dear, tell the nice man from Fox that you are more experienced.

McCain; Experienced doing what?

Cindy; It doesn't matter dear, just tell him.

McCain; I'm more experienced.

Fox; Why are you more experienced?

McCain; Cinnnnnnndy.. he's doing it again. Tell him to stop.

McCain has 2 hurdles to jump over in the form of Federal law suits concerning his claim to eligibility Vs Constitution which have not been tested in court.

1. The Panama Canal was never a Territory of the United States; it was leased.

2. McCain was not born there.

3. 7 FAM 1116.1-4 Not Included in the Meaning of "In the United States"

(TL:CON-64; 11-30-95)

c. Despite widespread popular belief, U.S. military installations abroad and U.S. diplomatic or consular facilities are not part of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment. A child born on the premises of such a facility is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and does not acquire U.S. citizenship by reason of birth. (emphasis added)

4. John McCain is a Naturalized Citizen and Only Natural Born Can be president.

McCain lest qualified for President:

-Failed to escape as POW to return to the fight.

-Long time member of Senate, but still voted for war in Iraq, without obtaining confirmation of WMD.

-Has no plan for Iraq other than to stay for 100 years as standups for Iraqi's.

-To old.

I was attached to VA 174 Wild Razors, while John McCain was it's commanding officer at Cecil Field. John McCain is a man of integrity and honor; However, I do not want him to be our next President and will not vote for him. Even more strongly, I do not want Hilary or Obama to be the next President or elected to any government offices for that matter. It's a given that John McCain would follow the Bush/neocon agenda right down the line which would continue the disaster of the last eight years, and that is just not acceptable....things would get much worse, if that's at all possible. Hilary and Obama are both career politicians and with what has come to light recently about them both, they would be worse.......we are all caught between a rock and a hard place.....We need other choices......with respect to John McCain, he is past it and like Bush doesn't have a clue, the reality is, it's no longer business as usual, for our republic or for any of us. Citizen, things are coming undone and fast.

So, Chief, you discount a candidate solely because of the way he handled somebody bugging him for a photograph? I hope you don't vote in November.

Posted by: Dan from Ohio | April 6, 2008 3:03 PM
===========================================
So Dan, you and Hope2008 would summarily disenfranchise someone who disagrees with your personal criteria for choosing which person to support for political office. Just like that, "don't bother us with details, just get lost." Chief could have a point, you know. Sometimes how a person treats those of "lesser" importance says a lot about his character. You know, like telling someone to get lost when they don't see things the way you do. Or "GDing White USKKK America" because they don't see every detail the way you do. If there is any severe flaw in this country, it is precisely the attitude of "my way or the highway," "for me or against me," everything is a war between "good and evil," "black and white," "us and them." You tell em, Chief. And if they don't like it, move to Florida and vote twice in November!

1. I hope he at least knows that qualified is not synonymous with "optimal".
That being said, anyone over 35 and a citizen of the US is "qualified". What's gonna make people vote for you?
Certainly not the fact that your policies suck. You're old as hell, and don't know a thing about the economy or the war you intend on perpetuating. Throw in with that, the insult to the intelligence of black people, by promoting a black woman on your ticket simply and solely to break up firm determination on a single candidate.

This guy needs to take his head out of his behind.

Fox; Ms Clinton, please tell us why you are most qualified.

Hillary; Why that's easy. Because I am a war hero.

Fox; You were in the war?

Hillary; What rock have *you* been hiding under. I'm a WAR HERO. Want me to spell that for you?

Fox; Okay, describe your heroics.

Hillary; That's easy. First of all, I was awarded the Medal of Honor during World War 2, after I single handedly shot down 5 German dive bombers from a bunker in Normandy.

Fox; B-b-but.. Normandy happened 3 years *BEFORE* you were even *BORN*.

Hillary; I can't explain it either. All I know is the facts speak for themselves. And then during the Civil War I was a high ranking Captain and led a battalion ...

Fox; Excuse me. But what *facts" are we citing here? And the Civil War.. That was during the 1800s... Your *father* wasn't even born!

Hillary; Are you calling me a liar? Are you challenging my credibility here because I am a WOMAN?

Fox; No, no..

Hillary; Are you trying to oppress me? ARE YOU TRYING TO STIFLE WOMENS VOTING RIGHTS?!? ARE YOU TRYING TO DRAG US BACK TO THE DAYS OF BEING BAREFOOT AND PREGNANT?!?!?!

Fox; You've got this all wrong...

Hillary; ALL RIGHT BUSTER! YOU WANT WAR, YOU GOT WAR! MY HUSBAND HAPPENS TO KNOW A LOT OF POWERFUL PEOPLE IN HIGH PLACES.. AND FOR YOU TO CALL ME LYING CHEATING WOMAN WHO SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED TO VOTE IS.. IS.. IS.... SHAME ON YOU!!!!!

Chelsea; Is the interview over with Mommy?

Hillary; I should say so!!! I have NEVER been so insulted... LET'S BLOW THIS JOINT!

McCain for Pres? You mean more war, more destruction of the Constitution, More pilfering of the US treasury by deregulation, war profiteers and corporate Privatization, more poverty, more homelessness, more total Bush-like BS? Nooooooo thanks.

McCain is just another PNAC knucklehead who if achieving the Whitehouse will stick a fork in the USA, roll us over and declare us "Done."

Elen, you have left me with nothing to write...so well spoken and exactly how I feel and I couldn't have written it better if I tried.

i'll be voting for bob barr if he runs.

As a European who has lived in America under the Bush fiasco I am looking forward to America getting a chance to have a competent head of state. Either McCain or Obama would offer America a chance for an intelligent leader willing to discuss it's relationship with the outside world. Unfortunately if Hillary gets in it would make things worse since she is an ego-maniacal compulsive liar. McCain wouldn't be as popular as Obama in the world but at least he's not Hillary.

I have to wonder what McCain's subliminal message stating that Obama is absoltely qualified for Presidential material ....Everyone including JM knows Obama has only words and very little of substance to remotely qualify him for the White House or the 3 am call...It takes lots more than a pretty face, great suits and font and color of his ads that he has paid mega bucks for to delude you people that are blindly following his every scripted word....Vote for HC to restore our economic woes and bring our Precious Soldiers HOME!!!!. DO NOT BE DECEIVED..

Neither McCain or Obama should be running for President - neither is qualified. Not to worry, neither will win. GO HILLARY!

I don't particularly like McCain, he's arrogant, too liberal on many issues, and doesn't harken to the advice of seasoned leadership or the will of the people. I'd have prefered Fred Thompson, but the liberal press did him in.

What are the alternatives? A racist Muslim or a dunce Meglomaniac? Given the options, I'll have to go with McCain.

Hey! Senator McCain: Even with the surge, the iraquis are attacking us in the Green Zone! It looks that we are not bringing resolution to the iraqui problems. We are just meddling in their intercinine battles! We went thre for the wrong reasons (WMD and links to Alqaida) and we are staying there for the wrong reasons (to look for an excuse to attack Iran). Just today we had more attacks against the Green Zone. It is very clear that they do not want us there! Why should we be spending a trillion dollar there, when we have a recession brewing in the US? Please say that if you are elected, you too will get our troops out of the ill advise war started by Bush.

look who is stooping to new lows to try and find ways to keep mccain from being president. because he was born in panama? give me a break.

and texas was not properly annexed so george bush didnt win the 2000 and 2004 elections.

the thing is, democrats are subtly using xenophobia to get their in power.

presGWBfanclub: I enjoyed the FOX-Hillary interview post. Very funny!

McCain is only saying Obama is "qualified" because he wants a chance to beat his ass in the general election by running the racist pastor videos over and over. Obama is unelectable and running against him is McCain's best shot to win. GO HILLARY!

MADDDOG, are u serious? u said:

"McCain lest qualified for President:

-Failed to escape as POW to return to the fight."

obama and hilliary havent even been to war, no wonder they want to pull troops out. they dont know the first thing about being commander in chief.

I guess you can say that Obama was talking to FOOLS, including "BILLARY" Clinton!

OBAMA: DIRTY POLITICIAN FROM THE START: Chicago Sun-Times--A close examination of Obama's first campaign clouds the image he has cultivated throughout his political career: Obama, who runs on a message of giving a voice to the voiceless, first entered public office not by leveling the playing field, but by clearing it. Alice Palmer, friend and mentor to Obama, served the district in the Illinois Senate for much of the 1990s. Decades earlier, she was a community organizer in the area when Obama was growing up in Hawaii. She risked her safe seat to run for Congress and touted Obama as a suitable successor. But when Palmer lost the congressional race, her supporters asked Obama to fold his campaign so she could easily retain her state Senate seat. Obama not only refused to step aside for the woman who was his friend and had recommended him for the seat, he filed challenges that nullified Palmer's hastily gathered nominating petitions, forcing her to withdraw. Had Palmer survived the petition challenge, Obama would have faced the daunting task of taking on an incumbent senator. "He wondered if we should knock everybody off the ballot. How would that look?" said Ronald Davis, the paid Obama campaign consultant whom Obama referred to as his "guru of petitions." Davis filed objections to all four of Obama's Democratic rivals at the candidate's behest. All other candidates were disposed of by Obama's challenges. He then went on to win the election.

She is yesterday's news.

I got to admit, I respect McCain for not blasting Obama as unqualified as other politicians might have done (or did in the case of Hillary Clinton). If this is any indication of the campaign for the national election, the two will spar on issues, not strawmen or wedge politics. It's refreshing to see that. I hope it continues.

I'm an Obama supporter but I respect honest adversaries in any campaign, and McCain just moved up a notch in my book.

OBAMA LIES IN PENNSYLVANIA AD
From NBC/NJ's Aswini Anburajan
GREENBURG, Pa. -- The Clinton campaign today accused the Obama campaign of "false advertising," claiming that a recent ad Obama released in Pennsylvania was disngenous because Obama has been the recipient of more than $200,000 from the oil and gas industry.
In the ad, Obama says, "I'm Barack Obama, and I don't take money from oil companies or lobbyists, and I won't let them block change any more."
Obama has taken $213,884 from the oil and gas industry as of Feb. 29th, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Sen. Hillary Clinton has taken $306,813 in that same period.
Two of Obama's campaign bundlers are also CEOs for oil and gas companies, per a list released on his campaign Web site.
Robert Cavnar, listed as a bundler who has raised between $50,000 to $100,000 for the campaign, is the chairman and CEO of Mission Resources Corp., a Houston-based firm. George Kaiser, also listed in the same $50,000 to $100,000 category, is the CEO of Tulsa-based Kaiser-Francis Oil Company.
"It's unfortunate that Senator Obama is using false advertising to explain why he can be trusted to do something about energy prices," Clinton spokesman Phil Singer said. "Senator Obama says he doesn't take campaign contributions from oil companies but the reality is that Exxon, Shell, and others are among his donors."

Funny, McCain says Obama is qualified, yet McCain is not, both legally (http://muddythoughts.blogspot.com/2008/02/panmanchurian-candidate-mccain.html) and morally (http://muddythoughts.blogspot.com/2008/04/black-mesa-genocide-and-john-mccain.html)

I wish this warmongering fool would quit already!

For all of the people who do not think Mr.McCain is qualified, "We" believe that he is. However, he can not undo the mess that he went along with. "We" believe Mr.McCain is in a dam if he do, dam if he don't situation. Thats too bad because he would have made a decent president. If you do not believe "Us" just look at the republicans that opposes him>

Somebody please explain how Obama is "absolutely qualified to be president". Get real . . . the guy is an empty suit spewing empty rhetoric. McCain is either too kind or a very poor judge of people.

POLITICO BUSTS BARACK OBAMA IN MORE LIES

Political opinion

The other day we wrote a piece covering some of Barack Obama's bigger lies during his campaign and his political life, which included, his lies about his association with Tony Rezko, then his lies about how much money he received from Rezko, then his admitting to the fact that he received more than he originally said.

Then we went to his NAFTA lies, and his lies about what he heard from his Pastor, Jeremiah Wright and when he heard it, as we showed his statement saying he never heard those controversial "God Damn America" remarks as well as the racial remarks and anti-American remarks and just four days later, made a speech where he admitted he had her controversial remarks.

He lies, then he lies to spin his way out of his previous lies and then when he can lie no more he tells part of the truth and ignores his previous lies.

This has become a very bad habit which he has been shown publicly to have....a habit of a pathological liar.

Now The Politico has just busted more Obama lies, wide open.

During his first run for elected office, Barack Obama played a greater role than his aides now acknowledge in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion -- positions that appear at odds with the more moderate image he has projected during his presidential campaign.

The evidence comes from an amended version of an Illinois voter group's detailed questionnaire, filed under his name during his 1996 bid for a state Senate seat.

Late last year, in response to a Politico story about Obama's answers to the original questionnaire, his aides said he "never saw or approved" the questionnaire.

They asserted the responses were filled out by a campaign aide who "unintentionally mischaracterize[d] his position."

But a Politico examination determined that Obama was actually interviewed about the issues on the questionnaire by the liberal Chicago nonprofit group that issued it. And it found that Obama -- the day after sitting for the interview -- filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama's own handwritten notes added to one answer.

The two questionnaires, provided to Politico with assistance from political sources opposed to Obama's presidential campaign, were later supplied directly by the group, Independent Voters of Illinois -- Independent Precinct Organization. Obama and his then-campaign manager, who Obama's campaign asserts filled out the questionnaires, were familiar with the group, its members and its positions, since both were active in it before Obama's 1996 state Senate run.

Through an aide, Obama, who won the group's endorsement as well as the statehouse seat, did not dispute that the handwriting was his. But he contended it doesn't prove he completed, approved -- or even read -- the latter questionnaire.

The Politico piece is three pages long, but it is worth the read.

The longer Barack Obama is in the political spotlight, the better because the media has started to do some actual research and every time they do, they show his lies, his past lies, or his present lies which generally lead to his future lies to try to spin out of the wind for his original lies.

The old expression about tangled webs we weave when we practice to deceived is quite appropriate here because Barack Obama is caught in the web of his own lies and he doesn't seem to be able to break free of one before the next set of them are brought to the publics attention.

I love this comment from Hot Air's, Ed Morrisey:

This makes no sense at all. If Obama's handwriting is on the survey, then he filled it out. If the answers didn't reflect his views, why didn't he change them when he "jotted some notes" on it? If the answers were wrong, Obama would have "jotted some notes" to that effect, rather than allow such mistakes to get transmitted to IVI. And the "eleven years in public office" defense might make sense if Obama hadn't spent much of that time voting "present" instead of taking actual stands.

Once again, we have more evidence that Obama represents nothing more than the political winds. He has zero credibility, zero experience, and a penchant for telling people what they want to hear rather than any truth about what he actually believes. Either he lied to IVI or he's lying now. In either case, it's hardly the New Politics Obama has promised.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

To all those Obama supporters who say that the superdelegates should not overturn the will of the people, then why to they exist? Why did they set up a system by the end of which no clear winner could emerge? Well the truth is that they set up the superdelegates to be a saftey vlave agaist the radical left who control the grass roots in the Democratic party! This was the same thing the founding fathers did when they established the congress,the house was to be the peoples party and the senate was to represent the elite and infulential, and well educated. The house would be popularly elected and the Senate would be electe by the state legislatures which were controlled by the elite! They gave the Senate power to comfrim treaties and presidential appointments! It was not until 1913 that the Senate was elected by the people! This was done to be a check on the passions of the masses and make sure they maintained real control! So the Democrats in an effort to ensure there would be no more McGovern's or Mondale's set up the superdelegates to put a check on the liberal left wing of the party through the use of superdelegates in order to insure that they would not select a nominee that was seen as not being able to win! It had nothing to do with who had the most delegates, if that were the case then they could have made a simple rule change and said that what ever canidate had a plurality of the delegates was the winner! The problem is that they never thought they would have to acutally pick a winner and now they do so I say that Hillary sould stay all the way through the convention and make those old codgers vote and take the responsibility if we lose!

Take a good look at what I have discovered on Obama:

http://www.obamaunveiled.com

Still supporting Obama?

Yeah! The presumptive "puppet" to the
Rothschild Banks of London & Berlin!
Notice where he ended his world tour
the other week!

I cant believe that JM said that Oboma is qualified to be President.

This is EXACTLY why McCain isn't connecting his conservative base. He's giving in to Oboma who is the biggest Liberal ever to walk the face of the earth.

McCain, you should look to shore up your own base before helping the Liberals win.

rplat: McCain had to say that; it's part of the game. If he would have told the truth (i.e. that Obama is an inexperienced, deceptive fraud), he'd get the mandatory race card thrown at him. If Obama is the nominee, then during the general election, the 527's and others will go after all of Obama's shortcomings, and McCain will be able to stay above the fray.

I love the way Obama supporters discount the importance of experience.

Here's their logic:

If one president who, despite his lack of experience, got elected on the basis of his likeability and charm; promise to clean up Washington; pledge to be a uniter, not a divider; and on the assurance that he could change the world on the basis of his personality; and who then surrounded himself with experienced advisors, spent eight years in a bubble, and failed miserably on all counts as president, it follows that:

The new guy "who, despite his lack of experience, gets elected on the basis of his likeability and charm; promise to clean up Washington; pledge to be a uniter, not a divider; and the assurance that he'll change the world on the basis of his personality, and who due to his lack of experience, surrounds himself with experienced advisors," he will be a huge success.

That's the logic of the Obama people who are trying to close the deal with their argument that a hiring decision for the most important job in the nation should not be made on the basis of experience.

Just when I think "meh" about McCain again, he goes and proves me wrong. Today he said that Obama is "absolutely qualified" to be president. I know it might seem like a calculated attempt to be nice, but being nice is a risky calculation and the better way would have been for him to attack. Instead, he chose to be honest and good. He even pledged to make the general election a "respectful" one. And he does these things completely on his own. Around 20% of Obama supporters say they'll vote McCain if Hill gets the nomination, and right now, I'm definitely part of that 20%. I mean, what a contrast- Hill said she and McCain were ready to be commander-in-chief, but not Obama: she dismissed her own party just to attack Obama. She hasn't had a single noble moment, not a single one at all. All she does is lie, from her story about running from sniper fire to her story about Chelsea jogging by the towers on 9/11 to her story about a preganant woman turned away from a hospital, she completelky makes things up. And when given the opportunity to be honoroble, she has "as far as I know" moments. Meanwhile, McCain's moments of nobility and honor keep adding up. He said, moreover, that his "100 years" comment was a figure of speech, and I think it was. Go Obama! But if we can't have Obama, please God, no Kyle-Lieberman-loving, don't-bother-to-read-the-NIE, pledged-delegetes-aren't-really-pledged Hill Clinton.

We are fortunate that we have three good people all of whom are qualified to be president. Therefore it is most important to look at the policies proposed by these three candidates. I personally believe that of the three Hillary Clinton has proposed the fairest and most workable policies to lead our nation.

Second we have to realize that President Bush did not put us into the present horrible situation by himself. I don't believe he is smart enough to do that. He had the active support and assistance of the Rupublican representatives in congress. John McCain was one of those republicans and actively supported this presidents policies.

During the next election we need to re-populate congress with representatives more in line with historical American values. I believe this must be democrats.

Dear America

Please vote for Obama.

Regards

The rest of the objective world.

Wow!

Fox; Today we have Bill and Hillary Clinton, former president and first lady of the United States with us. How are you two doing?

Bill; I am fine. Absolutely fine. I'm very good. Thank you. Thank you.

Hillary; I'm very pleased to be here.

Fox; I'm glad to hear that. Let's get down to business. First of all, why are you running for president?

Bill; I'm running because I think this country needs a change....

Hillary; I think he means, *ME*, why am *I* running...

Bill; Oh, silly me.. hee hee hee. Go ahead dear, answer him.

Hillary; I would if you would *let* me.

Bill; My my. A little testy this morning?

Hillary; I am running because this country needs a change..

Bill; That's what I just said.

Hillary; But he wants *ME* to say it.

Bill; Why? We all know who's going to actually be running the country...

Hillary; And what's *that* supposed to mean?

Bill; Hee hee hee. You don't actually think the people want *you*, do you?

Hillary: WHAT? You think they want *YOU*???

Bill; Well, more than you.. that's for sure.

Fox; Now now.. let's have a civil discussion here. Okay, about the economy....

Hillary; The first thing *I* will do is outlaw *boneheads* from the white house!

Bill; Oh yea? The first thing *I'll* do is outlaw old hags that can't differentiate fantasy from reality.

Hillary; YOU SON OF A...

Bill; Watch out Hillary! A sniper!

Hillary; There *was* a sniper! He was shooting at me!

Bill; We all saw the video. You are making this up. There was no sniper. Where was he hiding? In that little 9 year old poem reading girls hat?

Hillary; He was in the woods! He was shooting at us! We had to run for cover!

Bill; You should have just told the little leprechans dancing in the mountains to distract him with a pot of gold..

Hillary; Oh yea? Well, if I....

[PFFFFFTTTTTTT!!! The screen goes blank.. before cutting to

Fox; I'm sorry, but we are having technical difficulties with our interview, and hope to have the situation remedied by sometime after the election. Thank you. This is Bret Hume.. Brent Hume.. pssst! what is my name again? Oh yea. Thanks. This is Brit Hume reporting. Have a good day.

Bush was, and Obama is, short on experience. If McCain took the stance that Obama was not qualified, he'd have had trouble maintaining that Bush was qualified when he took office.

Wow!

It makes me sick to here McCain talk about the sanctity of marriage. He cheated on his first wife. He then divorced her and was married within a month to his much younger, very wealthy second wife. How's that for family values? His second wife's fortune comes from the sale of alcoholic beverages. How very wholesome. Don't forget McCain was one of the Keating Five. What a bunch of stinking hypocrites!!!!

And I enjoyed the McCain interview post. But I shouldn´t. Nobody should: It may in fact be telling the truth.

McCain should stop with the compliments to Obama if McCain wants to win in November.

Democrats are going to vote for McCain if Obama is the nominee so he would be wise to just find a good running mate and wait.

McCain is as dumb as a rock. Fimished at the bottom of his class at Annapolis. Probably would not have graduated had his father not been an Admiral. The only difference is that Bush is a stupid, dishonest liar, while McCain is just plain stupid.

Wow!

McSame thinks Obama is qualified.

Hillary thinks he isn't.

Hillary is a bigger Repuke than McSame is.

And McSame is 4 more years of Chimpy.

Hillary can go to Hell.

presGWBfanclub: Your post is exactly what I'd expect from either a George Bush supporter, or your brothers and sisters in illogical thinking -- Obama supporters.

Funny how reich wingnuts think it is okay for WHITE preachers like Falwell and Robertson to say America deserved to get hit by 9-11 and Katrina. And they DID say that.

But when a BLACK preacher criticizes America in the same way, it is evil.

Redneck Repukes and their racist double standard.

To the person who recommended we read "The Audacity of Hope," may I respectfully suggest that you ALSO read Obama's FIRST book before chastising those of us who do not support his candidacy. This man has lied repeatedly throughout his campaign. Do the other politicians lie as well? Yes, sorry to say, they do. The difference is that Obama projected himself to the public as the candidate who did NOT engage in deceit. He promised "change" when nothing will change at all. Ever hear of Rezko? See the article by Stephen Spruiell on National Review online if you want an update. It just astonishes me that this is not making front page news. With regard to Obama's claim that he does not take money from lobbyists, see the article by Lin Farley, "Follow the Money," on SavagePolitics.com. This last article, by the way, is footnoted with primary source materials. If you want to make an informed decision as a voter, forget reading the self-aggrandizing books by the respective candidates and go to the primary source materials.

A recent poll indicated that 71% of Americans believe this country is finally "ready" for a Black president. I'm one of those 71%. I am also one of the 28% of Clinton supporters who will vote Republican before helping Obama get a job he hasn't done a damned thing to earn. Getting a single piece of legislation passed while senator is not exactly what I'd call "impressive."

We have two qualified candidates for President, Hillary Clinton and John McCain, fit to be commander in chief on day one. Sen. Obama if nominated by the Democratic party will almost certainly lose to Sen. McCain in November. Why would Democratic super-delegates take that course in Denver, if Hillary proves between now and then she can win in the remaining primary states. We know so little about Sen. Obama, more now than when he won early primary and caucus states, so they should count for less. Only Hillary and Sen. McCain understand we have enemies in the world out to destroy us. If the phone rings at 3 AM, in the White House, I want Hillary to be the one ready to answer the phone and deal with a crisis. Sen. Obama has not even thought about this possibility, except to express an interest in sitting down with our avowed adversaries. That is not sufficient in these troubled times.

Elen, your post was right on the mark!

"What a terrible example "seasoned" politicians are setting for our youth.
Ten steps to shame.
One: There was a general consensus that there are DNC rules to be followed to avoid that states, during primaries, move dates around to position themselves at their whim.
Two: States were warned and two basically flipped the DNC off.
Three: Other states that had their placement tied into their own rules had to then move around their own primaries as a result of Two.
Four: The candidates were asked to sign a pledge. They did.
Five: Sen. Clinton remarks: "Well, you know, It's clear, this election they're having is not going to count for anything"
Six: Sen. Clinton now needs the votes.
Seven: Clinton now reneges on her pledge and starts demanding that the vote count.
Eight: Dean who has unfairly been made the scapegoat, now backs off and wants a compromise/
Nine: All the other states, who would have liked to choose their own dates now realize that following the rules is only for chumps.
Ten: Those watching this fiasco including those new young members of our party watch and learn.
This tragedy of disenfranchising voters was not triggered by Dean and the DNC, it was triggered by the injudicious actions of the leaders of these states, and fueled by the one candidate whose signature on the pledge was not worth the paper it was written in."

Denise: Your post is right on. I went to see Hillary the other night in Los Angeles (wonderful event, by the way), and everyone I talked to at the event was expressing the same thing; if Obama is the nominee, they will not be voting for him.

I'm an independent and planned on voting for Obama or Hillary - which ever one was nominated. However, their mudslinging b.s. has gone on waaaay too long. I'm sick of it.

Now comes John McCain, being respectful and generous toward his opponents. He's done this already when he terminated campaign staffers who stepped over a line of clean politicking which he seems to be adhering to.

I think he's looking better and better all the time. If for a moment he seems like he's willing to rethink the tax cuts then by all means, he's got my vote.

Senator Clinton is easily the most qualified of the three by eloquence, intellect, experience, and composure.

So, Chief, you discount a candidate solely because of the way he handled somebody bugging him for a photograph? I hope you don't vote in November.
Posted by: Dan from Ohio
_____________________________________________

The way he handled that heckler doesn't bother you? This is supposed to be Superbama? Any school teacher or bus driver would have taken care of a problem like this in about 15 seconds. Nobody would be rude or ugly.
This has to do with judgment. It should trouble you greatly. I wonder how he would handle a da ngerous situation. I still say it was pitifully handled. All he had to do is whisper into a secret service man's ear.
Zip, it's over. I don't discount a candidate solely on one incident. His handling of the Wright incident is just one of many judgment and problem solving problems he exhibits. He is a much worse liar than Hillary too.

McSame is constantly stating errors of fact about Iraq. And his misstatements are always in support of Chimpy policies in Iraq. McSame is more of the same.

He says Sadr asked for the ceasefire but that is incorrect. Maliki asked for the ceasefire after his offensive failed. Iran brokered the ceasefire. Sadr ended up winning that round.

And McSame also said Iraq troops are holding their own, but we know that at least 1000 Iraqi troops either surrendered at the first opportunity or refused to fight in Basra altogether.

And this is on top of McSame's notorious slip up where he accused Sunny Al Quaeda of being supported by Shiite Iran, when they hate each other. Loserman corrected McSame right there on the air.

McSame is either lying or he is clueless. Either way, he is NOT qualified to be President.

McSame is also clueless on the economy. He would be dangerously incompetent in the White House.

Obama has the Audacity to Hope that we are all stupid enough to forget that he lied about NAFTA, that he lies about his "continual" opposition to the Iraq war, that he plays the race card whenever things get too hot (for which he was busted by Tim Russert in one of the debates), that he is uncomfortably close to the indicted slumlord Rezko, that he has been going to a church for 20 years whose racist and anti-American pastor he calls his "mentor and spiritual advisor," that he has been exposing his innocent children to this hate speech for most of their lives, that he will throw his own grandmother under the bus to further his goals, and that he is now trying his best to disenfranchise millions of voters in Michigan and Florida to further his political ambitions. Yes, he has the Audacity to Hope . . .

In Oregon, Clinton Makes False Claim About Her Iraq Record Vs. Obama's
April 06, 2008 9:49 AM

In Eugene, Ore., Saturday. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., attempted to change the measure by which anyone might assess who criticized the Iraq war first, her or Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., by saying those keeping records should start in January 2005, when Obama joined the Senate. (A measure that conveniently avoids her October 2002 vote to authorize use of force against Iraq at a time that Obama was speaking out against the war.) She claimed that using that measure, she criticized the war in Iraq before Obama did.

But Clinton's claim was false.

Clinton on Saturday told Oregonians, "when Sen. Obama came to the Senate he and I have voted exactly the same except for one vote. And that happens to be the facts. We both voted against early deadlines. I actually starting criticizing the war in Iraq before he did."

It's an odd way to measure opposition to the war -- comparing who gave the first criticism of the war in Iraq starting in January 2005, ignoring Obama's opposition to the war throughout 2003 and 2004. (And Clinton's vote for it.)

But even if one were to employ this "Start Counting in January 2005" measurement, Clinton did not criticize the war in Iraq first.

Dear America,

We want to be your friend not your enemy. We only mean to kill most of you but we will allow some of you to live as long as you pledge to Islam and place your right hand over the Koran.

Please vote for Obama or Clinton.

The question is not if Pasotr Wright's words "DAM Americkkka" are wrong because some other pastors have said bad words from their pul-pit. It's when a man running for president goes to that church and hears for 20 years the racist speeches coming from pastor Wright's mouth, does it affect his point of view regarding the USA. Think--Why did Michelle Obama say? "For the time in my adult life I'm proud of my country." Put some of the pieces together and you will see that the Obama camp is spinning a web that we all will regret if this man becomes president. There are many examples that I can point to that has led me to the conclusion that Obama is a dangerous person. However, as I say sometimes, " A man convinced against his will, is still of the opinion still." Therefore, I'm my opinion and some of you are of your opinion still. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS, I'LL NOT BE SAYING--oh sheee I made a mistake when I voted for obama.

Funny how reich wingnuts think it is okay for WHITE preachers like Falwell and Robertson to say America deserved to get hit by 9-11 and Katrina. And they DID say that.

But when a BLACK preacher criticizes America in the same way, it is evil.

They were just as evil as Wright. I've always lumped Falwell, Robertson, Jackson, and Sharpton in the same loony bag for years.

Gandalfthegrey: That story has already been debunked. Here is an excerpt from a speech Hillary made from the floor of the Senate on October 10, 2002:
October 10, 2002
Floor Speech of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton
on S.J. Res. 45, A Resolution to Authorize the Use of
United States Armed Forces Against Iraq
Some people favor attacking Saddam Hussein now, with any allies we can muster, in the belief that one more round of weapons inspections would not produce the required disarmament, and that deposing Saddam would be a positive good for the Iraqi people and would create the possibility of a secular democratic state in the Middle East, one which could perhaps move the entire region toward democratic reform.
This view has appeal to some, because it would assure disarmament; because it would right old wrongs after our abandonment of the Shiites and Kurds in 1991, and our support for Saddam Hussein in the 1980's when he was using chemical weapons and terrorizing his people; and because it would give the Iraqi people a chance to build a future in freedom.
However, this course is fraught with danger. We and our NATO allies did not depose Mr. Milosevic, who was responsible for more than a quarter of a million people being killed in the 1990s. Instead, by stopping his aggression in Bosnia and Kosovo, and keeping on the tough sanctions, we created the conditions in which his own people threw him out and led to his being in the dock being tried for war crimes as we speak.
If we were to attack Iraq now, alone or with few allies, it would set a precedent that could come back to haunt us. In recent days, Russia has talked of an invasion of Georgia to attack Chechen rebels. India has mentioned the possibility of a pre-emptive strike on Pakistan. And what if China were to perceive a threat from Taiwan?
So Mr. President, for all its appeal, a unilateral attack, while it cannot be ruled out, on the present facts is not a good option.

COPY, PASTE, COPY, PASTE....

Susej: Good point about Wright. But, it's even worse than most Americans know.
THE RACIST THEOLOGY OF OBAMA''S CHURCH:
The theology which Wright has been teaching Obama and others at his church is called "black liberation theology," which is based upon the premise of the white oppressor against the black oppressed. This is why Wright refers to Jesus as black, and his killers as white. This is the only way the story of Jesus fits within his theology. Wright cites James Cone, another proponent of black liberation theology, as his theological inspiration. Here are a couple of James Cone''s quotes: 1. To be Christian is to be one of those whom God has chosen. God has chosen black people. 2. While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism. 3. All white men are responsible for white oppression. 4. Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man the devil. 5. Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.

Fred, You are so right on about BLACK THEOLOGY. It is some scary stuff. I've been reading about Obama and his connection with his church along with the other tugs he hangs out with. Oh my, what a deceitful web he weaves.

I just can't imagine the incident with the heckler is small potatoes with some of you folks. I've never seen such a mishandled incident, by a supposedly presidential candidate, with such poor judgment in my life.

I also think he should drop out of the race because of his mishandling of the Wright mess. Can you imagine a guy going to run for president who doesn't foresee a problem with this guy. My only conclusion is Obama's arrogance. My goodness, he isn't just running for dog catcher, you know.

John McSame should learn from a wise man, King Solomon:

[Proverbs 27]

What happened to being able to give your opinion about a candidate without denigrating, rude, and repulsive remarks? The political situation in this country is unlikely to change regardless of which of these candidates get elected. As long as we have a system where our government is bought and paid for by special interest groups and are consists of people who have no long term goals for this country, things will not change. The scarier thing for me is that people with half the IQ of the candidates feel so comfortable calling them stupid.

s: Yes, Obama's so-called religion is racist to the core. Yes, Obama gives lofty speeches about hope and unity. And, Obama can read a teleprompter better than anyone since Ronald Reagan, but his 20 year close relationship with his racist and anti-American "mentor and spiritual adviser," speaks volumes about his character and judgment. Would you attend a racist church for 20 years and consider its racist minister your "mentor and spiritual adviser?" I know I wouldn't. If I stepped into a church, the first time the pastor made a derogatory statement about "black people" I would be out of there, never to return. But then again, I'm not a racist.

John McSame should learn from old King Solomon:
Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips. [Proverbs 27].

Mr. McCain was a strong man to own up to a mistake that took him 40 years to admit. The only thing that I'm concerned with is that I pray that Mr. McCain is not so honest during the election that he gets side-swapped by Obama and his camp of tugs. I do not believe that Obama will run a honest campaign since he hasn't even personally condemned the 'WARMONGER" remarks. He will lay low and hope that the media doesn't make a big deal about it. He only speaks up against something when the media gets all over it. Of course, don't count CNN news to do anything since they are in love with Obama.

Hon. Senator McCain is mis taking Democrats as Fighting, No Way. Hon. Sen. McCain should be spending this Time rounding Up V.P. Candidate.

Signed:PHYSICIAN THOMAS STEWART VON DRASHEK M.D.

Now we're looking for a qualified President when that wasn't needed in 2000 or 2004 election. McCain has many years while doing nothing and has proven himself a true racist. He now can't remember who the people are in Iraq or even what he had for breakfast. Obama just got in the Senate and is using Dr. King speeches to get over. He's selling snake oil and Americans are buying the lies. Obama got Iowa votes by saying he would bring our troops home now, Hillary said all would return in 60 days. Now snake oil Obama says 10 years we'll be in Iraq. As John Kerry is the acting President he's giving the White House policy, let's hope he informs Obama. Obama knows nothing about Foreign Policy only what he learned as a child being educated in Indonesia. More lies come out of his mouth even the one about his Father and JFK. To hear Obama talk he could have been President in 2000 and just let John Kerry run the White House because that's what's going on now. But America doesn't want a Woman as a Leader even if she has more experience and better qualified then both McCain and Obama. Hillary took the two terms as Senator to be on every committee and learn and work with all the Law Makers of both Parties. Obama asked for Hillary help in running for the Senator. Kerry, Kennedy, Leahy, Richards and Pelosi didn't give Obama the time of day. Now Obama has shown his true character by attacking the only Senator that helped him. Mrs. Obama thinks just having a skin color gives her husband you vote. Oprah has moved so far away from being Black she just doesn't know anymore.

We have a chance to elect a President that will repair the damage done by Bush/Cheney. The Democratic Senior Law Makers are looking out for themselves not the American people. Hillary has taken the time to get the experience to be Commander-in-Chief. Obama just wants the title and let John Kerry do the job. McCain might not make it to Jan. 20th and will never release his medical records that will show he's got one foot on a banana pile and the other in the grave. Now Connie Rice is looking to be VP on her sorry record. Connie didn't think the memo of Bin Laden going to attack the US by air, met much because he didn't say when and what time. She has destroyed duties of Secretary of State. She is a joke to all the World Leaders. But she will become Black again for black votes. Like Mrs. Obama said Black people should blindly vote for her husband just because he's black and they did. Blacks forgot all about the 8 years President Clinton made their lives equal to the American dream. McCain doesn't even know Black people in American he just found out when he decided to run for President.

Ha ha ha! I loved that Chris Wallace question about McCain being opportunistic in Vietnam. Kerry was a sight - he didn't know what the heck hit him! KA-BOOM! Man! I CANNOT wait for McCain to begin debating Obama. I want to see that spanking!

I believe that while John McCain shares many traits so common among politicians (seeks the spotlight, "knows better" than everyone else), of the three still left standing for the job of president, he is the least offensive to me. McCain didn't stoop to the ethanol crowd during the Iowa primary, he is not on the earmark bandwagon like so many others, and he does cross the political aisle to work with Democrats more often than either Hillary or Obama has. As far as McCain's Iraq war stance, he voted for it (as did 77 out of 100 senators, and 296 out of 432 congresspeople), but was critical early on and consistent throughout the campaign of how the war was being prosecuted. Regardless of what the three candidates are saying, there is no way that any of them will start pulling our troops out of Iraq immediately.

FOR LACK OF SPACE, JUST A FEW OF OBAMA'S LIES: 1. his continual reference to his "Christian" faith, which is actually "black liberation theology"; 2. his lies and omissions about his connection to his racist and anti-American "mentor and spiritual adviser"; 3. his lie that the Kennedy family provided the funding for a September 1959 airlift of 81 Kenyan students to the United States that included Obama's father; 4. his current false ad in Pennsylvania in which he lies about taking contributions from the oil companies; 5. his alleged continual opposition to the Iraq war; 6. his denial regarding playing the race card (for which he was busted by Tim Russert); 7. his denial that any meeting took place between his chief economic adviser and the Canadian official about NAFTA; 8. his changing testimony about his relationship with and monetary support from Rezko; 9. his lie about a pharmaceutical lobbyist's involvement in his campaign; 10. his statement that his parents met at the Selma march (when he was actually born 4 year before that); 11. his claim in his book that he received his racial awakening at age nine reading a Life/Ebony Magazine story about a black man who was scarred trying to dye his skin white, when both Life and Ebony say there was no such article. AND JUST A FEW OF OBAMA'S FLIP-FLOPS: 1. Special interests In January, the Obama campaign described union contributions to the campaigns of Clinton and John Edwards as "special interest" money. Obama changed his tune as he began gathering his own union endorsements. He now refers respectfully to unions as the representatives of "working people" and says he is "thrilled" by their support. 2. Public financing Obama replied "yes" in September 2007 when asked if he would agree to public financing of the presidential election if his GOP opponent did the same. Obama has now attached several conditions to such an agreement, including regulating spending by outside groups. His spokesman says the candidate never committed himself on the matter. 3. The Cuba embargo In January 2004, Obama said it was time "to end the embargo with Cuba" because it had "utterly failed in the effort to overthrow Castro." Speaking to a Cuban American audience in Miami in August 2007, he said he would not "take off the embargo" as president because it is "an important inducement for change." 4. Illegal immigration In a March 2004 questionnaire, Obama was asked if the government should "crack down on businesses that hire illegal immigrants." He replied "Oppose." In a Jan. 31, 2008, televised debate, he said that "we do have to crack down on those employers that are taking advantage of the situation." 5. Decriminalization of marijuana While running for the U.S. Senate in January 2004, Obama told Illinois college students that he supported eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana use. In the Oct. 30, 2007, presidential debate, he joined other Democratic candidates in opposing the decriminalization of marijuana.

Over the last 8 years, we have watched highly experienced idiots in the Repukeliscum Party destroy this country. McCain is an OK guy, but he is a Repukeliscum. America cannot afford the Repukeliscum Party any longer.

If you vote for McCain, he has promised that we will be in Iraq for 100 years.

Chris Wallace is the biggest and shrillest hack on the airwaves. He is an incompetent, able only to parrot Repukeliscum talking points without even thinking. He was sitting there today, asking John Kerry what Howard Dean meant. That is S*T*U*P*I*D. John Kerry looks nothing like Howard Dean.

Soon Democrats will entirely boycott Fox. It's nothing by nazi propaganda.

Cone > Wright > Obama? Fred, here, has found Senator Obama guilty by association of someone elses association.

Everyone in the country is only a few degrees of separation away from everyone else. Are we all to be judged by our associations and our associates' associates? That's crazy. Obama -- like each of us -- is fairly judged by his own statements and actions alone. That's it. Strained arguments to the contrary reveal more about the conspiracy theorist than the subject of their fantasies.

John McCain is perfectly qualified to be Commander in Chief -- in an alternate universe where:

- Iran is training Al Qaida and sending them back to Iraq

- Al Qaida exists in such great numbers in Iraq that they would "take over the country" if we left (no serious analyst thinks this possible)

- It was a good idea to invade Iraq in the first place

- Finishing 894th out of 899 in your class at Annapolis makes you a foreign policy genius.

Now granted, a good portion of the Bush faithful still live in this alternative universe, where Saddam attacked us on 9/11. But most of the country has opted instead for reality. Therefore, John McCain is probably not qualified to serve as C-in-C.

Atleast Republican nominee think obama is qualified. but its pathetic that fellow democrate Hillary does not think he is qualified.. what a surprise!!!

Oh Yeh, Kerry is Obama's right hand boy. Kerry and Biden are making sure The GLOBAL POVERTY ACT gets pushed through Congress. Just think Obama can have his name on the bill and cause $845 BILLION dollars to be sent to the U.N to spend on global funding. Kiss your wallet GOOD-BYE!!! Also, with all the promises Obama is making, I don't think the U.S. has enough money in the Federal Reserve to keep up with him.
Until tommorow--God bless!!

Gee, the Obama haters are out in full force today, guess they are feeling threatened. I just wanted to note the Rendell comment that Hillary will win PA by 5-10pts, and that will be a big victory for her. I think not. She started out at 20 pts ahead and its just been steady erosion. If they are thinking it will be that margin now, what are they going to think by election day?

Mac believes in free trade with our friends in the Western Hemisphere, including Colombia.

Mac is opposed to what Hugo Chavez is doing to subvert democracy in Latin America. He is not anti-Latino, just anti-Chavez.

Mac is friendly to the environment and is a champion of increased fuel efficiency, energy independence and solar energy.

"I watched him last week let a heckler follow him around for hours." Chief.

This is just nonsense. The Secret Service had no business letting this obviously deranged, angry person near Senator Obama. Don't they remember Robert Kennedy?

Can you imagine what would have happened to this heckler if he had been in the face of George Bush?- or Jesse Ventura for that matter?

I thought that Senator Obama handled it appropriately by telling the man that he was rude, and that he could have his picture, " but I won't be smiling." Good for him.

Solution to Iraq - U.S. Military acquires one large building to hold a conference. U.S. military enforces a 5 by 5 city-block perimeter around this building to ensure the safety of all conference participants.

Conference participants are locally "elected" throughout Iraq. Each neighborhood elects one participant via town hall meetings. No ballot voting shall be used in this process. These meetings shall be small-scale and open forum in nature, occurring in each neighborhood of every city throughout Iraq. Current elected officials are welcome to lobby for a nomination through their respective neighborhoods. Participants must live in the neighborhood they are nominated from. Each participant is allowed a 2 working staff escort. Participants may be male or female, and of good health.

Participants of the conference shall create a living document that immediately declares Iraqi ownership of all Iraqi oil. This document must satisfy all Iraqi ownership of oil.
All oil within the borders of the sovereign Iraqi nation will immediately belong to Iraqi citizens and any Iraqi citizen will become an immediate shareholder in the Iraqi Oil reserve. The Oil reserve will consist of both refined and unrefined oil deposits. The conference members must achieve a workable consensus and create the document.
The document must be written by hand. All participants will then sign this document in front of U.N. Security Council witnesses.

This proposal is then offered to the United States Head of State via live telecast. The United States can then accept or reject the proposal.

Conference participants are elected in the summer of 2008. Once all participants are registered the conference shall begin no later than October 28, 2008. The conference, once commenced, shall last no longer than 13 days. Upon entry of the conference building all participants will be protected by the U.S. Military and no personnel will be allowed to either leave or enter the grounds of the conference perimeter whatsoever.
Food and any necessary medical supplies will be provided by the United States military and any interested foundations. All living supplies of this nature are supplied once. The supplies must be more than adequate to feed and sustain the well-being of all participates for 13 days. Each participant and his or her staff member is given a package which includes all the necessities they will need for the duration of the conference. Participants are welcome to bring their own food. Microwaves will be available for cooking. All items however are subject to Military screening before being permitted into the conference perimeter.

Local and International press will be allowed to attend the meeting's conclusion, when the document will be formally released and offered in a televised reading. The reader will be elected within the conference by the participants. The reading of the document aloud marks the official adjournment of the conference.

Libs have ignored the fact: we've been in a 100 year war ever since WWI.

A historian looking back on the past 100 years would see the effort of a growing Republican empire to protect its people and make the world safe against dictators, petty power bosses and dictators.

We have been succeeding time and time again. We must bring down the Chinese oppressors. We must secure Arabia. Obama has already said he will flee from that duty. Hillary has never submitted to the effort.

Only McCain can be historical.

Obama is winning the nomination by winning votes across America. There was no other path to the nomination if Hilary was not aware of this. She depended on her name and the establishment to give her the nomination. And the voters have said, not now, not this time. Even McCain is saying what Hilary is too bitter to utter. That Obama will be the next POTUS.

Only thing McCane qualifies for is a spot in the RETIREMENT home. What a loser the Republican have for there nomiee. Repubs have no change of winning the election concernig the state of this country, war, and econmony.

That jerk who was harrassing Obama was not a heckler. He was a prostitute who wanted a picture of Obama that he could sell to make a profit. That's nothing that should be supported.

John McCain is not only the best candidate for President, he is the only "real" candidate for President. Clinton cannot win. Obama cannot win. The Democratic party is completely fractured on all fronts. All they do is spit this rhetoric about change, but not one of them have any concept with merit and are at best, good speakers. McCain is not only the best choice, he is the only choice. The thought of Clinton or Obama answering the 3 AM phone call terrifies me! Canada here I come if that happens!

My Republican friend - who once worked on the Hill as a congressional aide (not for McCain) - says that McCain is "bat s#!t crazy." And he WILL NOT vote for McCain.

He is considering voting for Obama, or voting for a write-in candidate (which is more than likely what he will do).

How could McCain could say he was "honored and humbled" to have Bush"s endorsement?

I guess I would call myself "optimist", but right now I'm more "mad" than anything. I'll vote for Obama, but I'll also vote for Hillary. My optimism makes me a Democrat. Even if Obama doesn't win the election I'm still glad he's out there......same with Hillary....

Republicans are sad;..... an angry tragedian...the worst America has to offer....

We have yet to endure the tactical and strategic blunder that the war in Iraq really is.

I know! Why don't we bomb other countries that have schools, water, power, and police for their people? We can quickly lower the population, while creating enemies for our industrial military complex?

How's that sound Republicans?

Bush Sees "Defining Moment" In Iraq? He saw WMD, Al Qaeda; mobile weapons labs, terrorist training facilities, missiles that could reach New York, 45-minute ready chemical weapons, none of which were there.

What he will see is his legacy and his Parties demise, but at least I got my $600 "tax-rebate" check from China!!

You wanna get some Republicans?....lets go.........other wise go sit in the corner with your talking point spewing fallacy of a constituency.....

"The great Rousseau said it:
"...Conservatives have learned nothing and forgotten nothing"

Hillary the best qualified. Why, because she sleeped with the president - probably didnt' even do that well.

Can there be a stupider group than the current Repukeliscum voter group? After 8 years of incompetence, all they can do is say "Well, that didn't work....we'll try again."

Conservatism is a disaster as an approach to government. It simply involves selling off government to the friends of politicians.

We need a Democratic government that will make government work, and work well.

McCain said a few weeks ago that he hoped his words would not be used against him. Because there have been so many wrong ones lately, and they don't put him in a good light.

As I viewed McCain making his speech at the Lorraine Motel, the reason my annoyance with him reached the point of no return is not just that his umbrella was being held by a young black man - as if an attendant. No, it didn't stop there. It was that this young black man was not dressed as an attendant - he was wearing the kind of outfit many of the young sanitation men in my part of the state typically wear. And wasn't King in town to speak to the cause of the sanitation workers. If the rumors of Rove setting up this appearance are true, McCain has no visible flag pin, and is making an extraordinarily condescending speech. Beyond shameless. McCain, Clinton, Penn, Rove and BursonMarsteller really do deserve each other.

I just read a comment stating "vote for Hillary to bring our precious soldiers home." Didn't she vote send our soldiers into Iraq? (we've heard all of the excuses) Obama gave a high profile anti-war speech in 2002. I know... it's just words, and he didn't have to vote, but his words detailed the mess created by an invasion of Iraq. Someone should have listened. Chief and Mary May King, why not be honest and say why you are Truly anti-Obama. (A heckler and a pastor??? hmm...) We saw with Obama, when the heat was on, he remained calm, cool and collected. When the Clinton's are "under fire", Hillary gets snappy and defensive, and Bill gets red-faced and hostile. That's not what we need in the White House.

And your fears are based on what, Mike? Bush lied us into an unnecessary war that destabilized an already volatile region of the world. His cowboy policies have disgusted our allies, helped our enemies gain recruits, and caused the deaths of tens of thousands of innocents considered collateral damage of this immoral administration.

Dems have done much better, and nobody could do worse.

"Canada here I come if that happens!"

I love it!! Now the GOP/Republicans are saying they're gonna move to Canada, when just a few years ago they were insulting liberals for saying the same thing...go figure.....

It's not weather he or she is republican or democrat that matters,it is weather he or she is the best person to be president.RON PAUL is the best man to be president and i'm a (democrat).He is the only one that hasn't been bought by a corporation.He will restore health freedom and abolish the Federal Reserve which is owned by private bankers.I'ts never about repiblican versus democrat.It's about the wealthy elite versus the american people.SO Vote for Ron PAul.
